GET PREPARED... ⚠️ XRP, HBAR, QNT - IMPORTANT CRYPTO NEWS TODAY!

In this YouTube market‑update, Crypto Mason (the host of the Crypto Mason channel) walks viewers through the current crypto landscape on March 5 2024. He opens with a discussion of Bitcoin’s 7 % pull‑back from a fresh weekly high, noting the unusual proximity to its all‑time high far from the next halving and the resulting market uncertainty. He then surveys meme‑coin activity, highlighting deep retracements and a specific dip in WIF that he recommends buying. Mason promotes his sponsor Qvex, an offline NFC‑based seed‑phrase encryption device, describing its components, security benefits, and how to purchase it. He shifts to broader market dynamics, emphasizing massive ETF inflows, BlackRock’s involvement, and the transformative impact of spot‑ETF structures. He reviews top gainers (StarkNet, Theta, Aptos) and outlines his bullish stance on several projects: Commonwealth’s $2.4 M airdrop and XP‑based allocation system, SatoshiVM’s upcoming alpha mainnet with Bitcoin‑reward staking, and the potential of meme coins built on Hedera (HBAR) as user‑acquisition portals. Mason critiques Coinbase’s repeated outages, speculating about collusion with Wall‑Street players to depress prices. He provides brief price updates on XRP, HBAR, Quant, Algorand, VeChain, and offers long‑term price predictions for ETH ($10 k) and Solana (potential $500). Throughout, he stresses the importance of buying dips, using CoinMarketCap to spot losers, and valuing crypto in other crypto assets rather than fiat. The video ends with a call to action to like, join the Gold Squad Discord, and stay patient.

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, folks, we are experiencing somewhat of a Bitcoin dump. Bitcoin is dumping right now. We're still above $60K. We're going to talk about why Bitcoin is dumping, what's going on with the market, what's going on with meme coins. We're going to talk XRP, HBAR, Coinbase is freaking down again. But drop a like on the video. If we hit 777 likes by the time I drop my next video, we will run a 100 XRP giveaway for you guys. Unfortunately, we didn't smash the like goal on the last video. I mean, even in a bull market, we can't smash the like goals. Y'all are lacking. I'm joking. We don't care about likes. We just make great content every single day. Let's talk about this. $2.34 trillion, man. We're still above $2 trillion. Bitcoin is down 7%, uh, in 24 hours, and we know 7% for Bitcoin is a major, major move. If we take a look at the Bitcoin chart right here, we got that nice weekly close, right? We got the nice weekly close, um, way up there at like $63K. But you know, we've had this indecisive candle, very indecisive. We actually made and put in technically a new all-time high. We wicked above the old all-time high on some exchanges, um, but right away we're faced with massive resistance. That was the easiest money of all time, right? To know that when Bitcoin hit $69K, we were going to come back down, flying back down, right? I think that was easy money. Because we are so far from the halving, it really doesn't make sense, um, for Bitcoin to go rushing past all-time high, the previous all-time high. Just so you all know, the context of this entire crypto situation right now is that nobody knows what the hell is going on. Bitcoin has never been this close to the previous all-time high this far from the halving. Meme coins have never been, been running like this. right? Like this insane. And just across the board, we have so much new stuff. We've got the ETF volumes, right? You see billions of dollars, millions of dollars flowing through these ETFs. Um, it's just absolutely insane. You can see all of the inflows and outflows that are happening. You've got BlackRock literally involved in the crypto industry. It's a whole new ball game. And I think honestly, bro, you can forget all about what people said about how this market functions pre-ETFs. This is new shit, right? And I am very excited for how the market's going to function post-ETFs, right? Post-spot ETFs. It's very, very interesting. Now, top gainers, we have StarkNet. Glad to see them, uh, pulling their price up again after that airdrop. Theta Network, gem. I love Theta Network. Aptos, not too, you know, keen on, but you know, it could still be good. Unes said Leo, one of the craziest crypto names I've ever seen. Um, but not much is up right now, right? We've got all the meme coins retracing 20+%. Look at all these, right? And these could be good dips to get in on if you actually want exposure in your portfolio to meme coins. So one of the dips that I got in on, um, yesterday was WIF, right? And this is why it's crucial to follow me on Twitter and get in the Discord, because, you know, I can't whip out a YouTube, a full YouTube video while I'm, you know, driving or something. I can't do that, right? I can't do it in the grocery store. So Twitter though, I can tweet, I can talk to you guys WIF had a nice dip all the way down to $1.11 here. So if you pick this up at $1.11, you're already in profit. My entry point is like $1.35, like around one— yeah, $1.35. I saw some crazy Solana whales going in on this one. Dog WIF hat. I cannot believe that I am buying a coin called that, but dude, I, I'm ready for meme coins. Um, I am coming in a bit late, I understand that. 20% off using our link in the description. That's easy, right? You type in our code, our Gold Squad code, and boom, $20 off— or sorry, 20% off, or it might be 25%. Um, Arculus, like Descent is good, Tangem is good, Ellipal is good, Trezor is good. Even a Ledger is great, bro. Even a Ledger is great. Now we do have a sponsor for today's video. And this, this is also something that can protect you from a cyber attack. So we'll let that run and then I'm gonna give you more tips on how to protect yourself. It's Qvex. Now Qvex is an offline cold encryption device for your seed phrase. So I actually have one right here. Okay. They sent me one of the Qvexes. You guys can buy these at qvex.io and we're gonna show you what comes in the package and what this actually does. So I'm on their website right now, and basically you guys are writing down your seed phrases with pencils and pens on paper, which could burn, it could get lost. Uh, this is a replacement for that, okay? This actually encrypts your private keys and records them on an NFC card. So here's what you actually get in the box. So this is the Qvex box right here. Make sure it has the seal. So if this is broken don't use it. But if the seal is there, then you're good. So you actually get the Qvex device right here, and then I got 3 NFC cards. You also get the charger or the, the power supply right there, um, a funny meme and a thank you card. So how you set this up is you will plug this in, turn it on, and then basically these are the keys, the NFC cards that you actually tap to the device to encrypt your seed phrase. So this is not— this is like next level security for your seed phrase. Okay. It has multi-signature. You can access the full source code of this. Okay. So you, you know, it's not anything sketchy. You can actually see the full source code. And with Qvex, it's actually the seed becomes an encrypted secret onto the NFC card. So with your seed phrase, stored on a screenshot, which is the worst possible way you can store your seed phrase. Is it with a screenshot of it? Because that's on your device, whereas Qvex doesn't store any of the data, okay? And you have true custody and ownership of your crypto assets, okay? Multi-signature— you can distribute, you can have distributed storage. So they do give you multiple different cards, and the NFC card durability is around 10 years. Okay, so very, very cool product. Make sure you click the see video. You can get free shipping right now. Use the link in the description. Big shout out to Qvex. Go and do your research and grab one of these if you want to take your security to the next level. So that's a very cool device in my opinion. Um, I do use it personally for my seed phrase. Uh, one of the other things you can do is get a Faraday box and actually put your hardware wallets in the Faraday box. um, in case of EMP blackouts and all that stuff. Um, but to prepare, just make sure your passwords are secure, you've got lots of data offline, right? And just, you don't need to panic about this, right? You do not need to panic about this, truly. Um, but you know, if this happens, it could get pretty nasty, right? It could take everything offline. Get your food and water, your military-grade food, water, um, batteries, flashlights. We've got it all stocked up here. Now let's keep it moving into, um, some other stuff today. Uh, Bitcoin, I believe, is going to make Elon Musk very aroused for crypto. Bitcoin— he's going to start tweeting again any day now. Any day Elon Musk is going to start tweeting again, and he may be tweeting about Dogecoin. Okay, now another update for you guys. I now support meme coins building on HBAR. Okay, I am— I'm getting over myself, right? You have to get over yourself in crypto to make money. Um, and these are truly the new portal to mass adoption. So meme coins are the new portal for people to get acquainted with the network. For example, Dog with Hat has made So many people download Solana wallets and learn how to use Solana. That's what we need for HBAR. We need people to see and learn how to use HBAR properly and the network properly right now. They are the wrong mainstream portal, but they are a portal, okay? They're the wrong one. We want natural, good, not, um, people begging to get rich off meme coins. We don't want that to be the portal, but it is. It is now, okay? So more volume and users on Hedera equals bullish. Okay, now moving forward, um, let's talk about one of the dopest things, bro. Like, you guys gotta get in on Commonwealth. So literally, let's see if they're still down for maintenance because they're getting a lot of hype right now. Let's see if it's still down. Um, no, it's not. Perfect. Oh yes, they are. So as you're seeing this, it might be down. Just keep trying to get on our link. Link is in the description. Commonwealth is doing an airdrop, $2.4 million of value in venture capital allocation, um, to 14 projects that are launching. So this is absolutely insane. If there's one project I recommend you do research on, it's Commonwealth. If there's one project I recommend you get heavily involved with and get in early, it's also Commonwealth. Man, this is one of the most ones that I'm most excited about. Also, if you use our link in the description, it's going to take you to the email page. You enter your email, and then you can start completing the tasks to earn XP, which is going to get— which is going to get you a slice of this airdrop, okay? And the more people that use our link, if, if we are the number one most used link, we will be able to give you guys $20,000 worth of allocation. Okay, $20,000 worth. So if a lot of people use the link, they sign up, $20,000 giveaway in, in allocation is coming your way. Now let's also talk about, um, SatoshiVM. So SatoshiVM is, uh, has 10 days until the alpha mainnet launch. Um, NFT holders will receive vested SatoshiVM, um, alpha mainnet March 15th. Okay, I'm still bullish. Um, we are an early investor. Me and Megan are early investors in SatoshiVM, so obviously I want the project to do well. Um, you are going to be able to stake your SatoshiVM and get wrapped Bitcoin rewards. So staking your SAVM— what do you call the ticker? SAVM? Uh, staking your SatoshiVM and actually earning Bitcoin as the rewards. Very, very cool stuff. Okay, now, oh my goodness, bro, Coinbase is down once again. Coinbase is down once again. Absolutely insane. Um, they just put out another investigatory tweet right there. Um, I just tweeted out, you know, I think that BlackRock is working in cahoots with Coinbase. To lower the price, to let late Wall Street entities in, man. Um, I think they're in cahoots with the big players, the ETF players. They're trying to lower the price and allow people to get in, their people to get in. Okay, now let's do a brief update on XRP and HBAR here, and Quant and Algorand and all the utility coins. XRP is massively retracing, so we only got to spend You know, damn, only like 4 days or 3 days above 60 cents. How annoying, right? I wanted to stay above 60 cents, but you know, XRP still does move with the market, uh, like move with the Bitcoin price a little bit. Jeez, 57 cents, man. Come on, come on. So nothing really to say about XRP. They haven't had any crazy news. Same with HBAR. HBAR, on the other hand, is actually holding their 10 cent mark very well here. Um, hopefully that holds. That's all I can say is hopefully that holds. 10% dip in a day. I'm telling you guys, the worst question you can ever ask me in crypto is, is it too late to buy? Dude, I got $10K right now, what should I put it in? That is like— that question hurts my soul. It hurts my soul, and it honestly makes me want to tell your mom to slap you in the face or something, or your brother, okay? Because we've been talking about the coins that you should have bought for the past 3 years. 3 years, dude. So if you're— you know, I have empathy for the people who are coming in late though, right? Because ultimately We need those people to come in late because those late people are the ones buying our bags off of us, right? That's how it works. We need the retail late people to come in and buy our bags when it's way higher. That's what we need. However, that's the worst question, right? And just take advantage of dips, right? Watch these coins closely. Go to the CoinMarketCap and sort by the biggest loser here. And look what is the biggest loser. Okay, VeChain. Okay, 4 cents. VeChain is at 4.2 cents. Think, think to yourself, if I buy this right now and it's 14%, 15% down, could it go back to 5 cents and make me 15%? Absolutely, easily, especially in a bull market. Right? Bull market dips are amazing for swing trading. You can just look at, like, in a true bull market— like, we're not really there yet, this is still like brewing, it's the beginning— in a true bear market, if there's any red that flushes throughout the market, it's bought up instantly, and those people are flipping their bags in the next 2 days, right? So 14% dip, boom, we buy the VeChain, and we wait till it goes up, right? Because it could go to 5.1, it could go to 5.3, because look, in the last 7 days it's been there. So it— get really simple with it, right? Get really, really simple with it. Um, but HBAR— let's, let's move on to, um, Quant real quick. Let's see how Quant is doing. We've got an 11% dip on Quant, bro. I am waiting for the $100 touch. Um, if we do it, look at those charts, absolutely insane. Um, but when you zoom out, it looks like nothing, right? It looks like nothing. Now you can see how parabolic this run actually is when you zoom out. Quant, still loving it. Prediction, $500 plus easy. Um, Algorand also looks good for the dip, 21 cents. I'd be waiting a little bit longer maybe to get in like way lower. Um, but the 20, 20 cents, or 22 cents, excuse me, looks like a good, uh, support level for Algorand. Now let's, um, let's move on and talk about, uh, and answer some of your guys' questions. Okay, so I'm gonna refresh this tweet. New market update. I said, uh, what do you all want to hear my thoughts on? This guy says, would love to hear an ETH prediction. ETH prediction: $10,000. $10,000 per Ethereum one day. I am not putting time limits on the prediction. That is a— like, I will admit it's a cop-out prediction. I don't like predictions that don't have time frames on them, but I don't care, right? $10,000 ETH will be a thing in the future. Um, Solana compared to where ETH is I am bullish on Solana infinitely, okay? Infinitely. What type of dip did we get today? 7%. That's kind of juicy, not really, uh, kind of juicy for Solana. Solana is definitely leading the bull market here in terms of altcoins. $120, this thing can go way higher than $120, right? This thing could go way higher than $120. Um, it's been to $250. I'm thinking easy $500, uh, could happen for Solana. Solana is truly, you know, the new Ethereum, and they're taking that spot. I wish it was HBAR that was doing that, but HBAR's time will come as well. Now moving on to the next one: why do people think cryptocurrency is the next financial system? Um, yeah, I don't know. You know, this is something that I've said before, is that crypto is the next financial system. But it's tied to our financial system, right? The current one. When we go on here, everyone and their mom is, are, is valuing all their crypto in dollars. So it doesn't make sense. Like, this doesn't make sense. You're tying— we're forever tying the market to the dumb fiat currency that's worthless, right? Why do it— why does it matter that one Bitcoin is worth 62 $1,000 if we don't care about the US dollar anymore. Um, and that's why one of the cool things you can do is go on and, and value everything in ETH. Now look at this. What if I did my market updates like this? Oh, oh, let's look at XRP. Okay, today it's worth, uh, 0.0001678 of an ETH, right? Very cool to value your stuff, your crypto, in other cryptos, right? You can change it to XRP. 1 Bitcoin is worth 180,000, 108,000 XRP. Um, but there's a lot of innovative stuff in crypto. Crypto is inherently better than, than the old financial system. It's like just better. You can send money instantly, no fees, no middleman, nothing. Um, so that's kind of why. Peak price prediction for all-time high of Bitcoin: $100K plus. Um, HBAR we already covered. Market manipulation we did cover with Coinbase. I believe they're in cahoots with, um, they're in cahoots with BlackRock and the other Wall Street people. Let's take a look at Casper. Someone said, um, oh, I'm still valuing in XRP here. Let's go back to US dollars. Um, yeah, 4 cents, you know. 7% down today. Good dip, good dip to get in, right? Everything's a good dip right now in my opinion, um, if you're one of those people who can actually have patience. Now let's see what else. HBAR meme coins, we talked about that. Not many other questions, not many other questions, um, so we're gonna wrap up the video right there. I love every single one of you. Drop a like and comment, join the Gold Squad Discord. Join the Patience Discord as well, and goodbye.
