What is up? I am Crypto Mason and welcome back to another daily market update. I do this every single day so that you guys can get my daily thoughts on the market. You can get my daily thoughts on some of the news and some tweets that are coming up. So let's have a scroll through the top 100. Before we do that though, if you want to see my updated portfolio, my updated portfolio, I made an exclusive Instagram video right here showing you my updated holdings. There's a couple new coins in there, so if you want to see that, go to Mason Versluis on Instagram. That is my real last name, by the way. Um, link is in the, in the description. But this shows you, I go through all the coins that I currently have, my updated holdings. Um, so let's move into the top 100 here. Look at Bitcoin, it hit $60,000 last night. It hit $60,000 last night and then it just quickly went back below $60,000. And, and I saw a lot of people tweet out, like Anthony Pompliano and all them, they tweeted, oh, $60K, Uh, but then it retreated back to 59k level. Ethereum is holding 2,000. It broke past 2,000. I love to see this. I love to see this. Um, I do hold Ethereum and I really plan to get more. I hope this actually like crashes. I said on my Twitter that if this ever goes to like $400 or something, like bad, bad, I'm buying a lot. Um, Cardano just chilling, doing 1% gains. Um, XRP almost up to 60 cents. What else? Let's check the top. We're gonna check the top gainers, but I want to scroll through here. Crypto.com doing nothing still. EOS has been going crazy. Um, what else do we got? Algorand doing nothing. Hashgraph doing nothing. Elrond, there we go, 10% on the Elrond right there. Um, Enjin. What else we got here? Pundi X is down. Damn, I guess it had a— look at DENT. DENT is still up, still up. I think I'm planning on selling some of my DENT today. I might sell some of my DENT, um, because that's why I'm way up on profit on that. Biggest gainer 24 hours: EOS, Helium. I have an old, old video about Helium, um, and I actually bought a Helium miner. If you go, I highly recommend checking that project out. DENT also. Holo Token, like a 6 out of 10 rating for it in my book. Zilliqa right there. Let's move on to some of the news. RippleNet's dLocal hires former JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs top executive as chief operating officer. This is pretty crazy. RippleNet customer dLocal hires a former JP Morgan managing director Sumita Pandit and secures $150 million, uh, from major series companies— or million series from major companies. This is some good news right here. That's some good news for Ripple. Um, this is the craziest news that came out, I think. Grayscale has added over 5.5 million XLM Stellar as well as some MANA, some Filecoin, LINK, and BAT. You know I hold Stellar, I love Stellar. You know I hold LINK, I love LINK. Um, hold up, I gotta close the Discord. Shout out to everyone who's in the private Discord as well. Um, you can become a channel member and get in there if you want to as well. For Filecoin, I'm like a 6 out of 10 on Filecoin. BAT, 6 out of 10. MANA, like a 6 out of 10. I like Enjin better than MANA. Uh, but they have purchased some XLM. This is pretty crazy. Look at, look at where it is in their holdings. It's above LINK and, and all that. That's pretty crazy. Mark Cuban blows lid off his crypto holdings, reveals he's a whale and early Ethereum investor. I had a bunch of Ethereum from when it first came out, about a year after it came out. And then I bought some more a few months ago. If Ethereum goes back under $1,000, then I'll buy more. Facts. Me too, me too. I might even buy it at $2K, I don't even know. Um, he's a— he's an Ethereum whale, I guess. He's an Ethereum whale. All of these people are, trust me, trust me. You can't be— you can't be a smart person or an investor and not look at cryptocurrency early. Like I always say, if I was born 8 years— if I was born 8 years ago or 8 years earlier, I would have been a Bitcoin millionaire because I would have recognized the potential in it. Because I was— I'm like raised by the internet. Paris Hilton is very, very excited about Bitcoin. Okay, cool. Paris Hilton very excited about Bitcoin. I think Bitcoin is like My thoughts are rapidly changing once again on Bitcoin. As we all know, as humans, our opinions change. And now I'm looking at Bitcoin as something— yes, it will stay. It's not gonna die or anything. I think it will stay as of right now in time. As of right now in time. Um, like, they can coexist with XRP. I think things will be bigger than Bitcoin. Um, but Bitcoin will always be there. Kraken boss expects crypto firms to replace banks within the decade. I've been saying this, I said this like 4 weeks ago. If somebody can find the clip, I said that CRO— I think crypto.com will replace banks in Canada and that will be people's bank in Canada. Same with Coinbase. Um, he's talking about Cash App and PayPal. He thinks you're gonna see more of that. Okay. And Kraken already has a bank, I believe, in Wyoming or something. Now here is a very misleading title right here: Apple Music alum joins Ledger to head its NFT division. So this is a former executive at Apple Music that Ledger hired. So shout out to this, this article right here, right there. That's a good headline right there. Um, just wanted to throw that in there. Now this, this is pretty important right here. Ripple CEO talks about US SEC's lawsuit, says Bitcoin is here to stay. He agrees, or I agree with him. Um, some quotables. He says the SEC is wrong on the facts, they're wrong on the law. I think we will prevail. They've signed over 20 new financial institutions around the world since the lawsuit. Um, insane. I think Bitcoin is clearly here to stay, he says. Bitcoin is solving a real problem, there's no question about that, and that's the store of value. Bill Gates was recently quoted as saying that Bitcoin transactions are the least efficient payment of transaction that has been ever created. It doesn't mean the Bitcoin goes away. In fact, I believe Bitcoin will be very successful. I I agree with him. I agree with him. Bank of Thailand is launching CBDCs in Q2 of 2022. This is big, and I want to reinstate the fact that this does not happen overnight, folks. It does not happen overnight. So don't bank on the fact that you're gonna wake up and some kind of switch is gonna be flipped and you're a billionaire because your XRP is at 10,000, Bitcoin's at zero, blah blah blah. No, this is a slow process. They're going to implement this. Um, it's a slow process, but we're at the— we're at the end of it. We're at the end of the process where it's like, like really gonna come pretty fast but slow at the same time, if you know what I'm saying. JP Morgan adjusts its Bitcoin target to $130K. This probably means they're about to short the hell out of Bitcoin, but because we don't— JP Morgan They've been saying some wild stuff about Bitcoin. Last thing we have, I want to remind you why we are the best crypto channel and the best crypto community on the face of Mars, because it's all about health, wealth, and self. I've never heard this said before, and I just typed it and put it on Twitter. Um, so let me know if you like that— health, wealth, and self.
