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 have a crazy market update video. We're going to talk about XRP, Flare, Quant, Karate Combat, HBAR, and much, much more. We have some crazy HBAR news. We're also going to show you how to get into this Hashpack airdrop by the end of this video. So stick around, we're gonna get into some crazy stuff. Also, there's a $2.4 million, uh, venture capital airdrop that you guys can get in on. We're going to talk about that. We've got XRP stuff, it's loaded up as usual.

Speaking of the Gold Squad Discord, make sure you join. It's completely free to join. Link is in the description. Now let's first get into the market, and then we're going to talk about some, uh, some more free money opportunities. Okay, now Flare is absolutely ripping. Okay, Flare is up 26% right here. We've got Theta up 20%. Am I bullish on Theta? Yes, I do like Theta, and I've been talking about Theta for like 2 years now. Okay, that's one of the early gems. I never really— like, I always just traded it. I never really held it for the long term. Mantle's also up. Near Protocol's also up. Uh, VeChain. Let's check out our biggest losers for the day. Worldcoin, good. I don't like Worldcoin because they want to scan your eyeballs. Then we've got AGIX. This might be a good dip to get in on AGIX if you're into the AI sector, which has been blowing up recently. Um, and just some brief comments on ERC-404. Be careful with some of these coins, please. Like, be very careful with some of these ERC-404 coins. Um, ERC-404 is like a new standard that came out, and I believe you're allowed to own— or it allows multiple addresses to own one NFT or something like that, like own the same NFT. It's weird. I haven't really looked into it. Let me know in the comments if you're into those ERC-404 coins. Now, quick— 3 quick announcements, and then we're going to get into the charts here and really explain to you what is going on. And then we're going to talk XRP and HBAR. I have a new tutorial for copy trading, a video that will be dropping soon. It's 13 minutes long. It's going to show you how to set up copy trading, and we're going to get started rolling with the copy trading again. Um, of the last 8 trades, I think we've won 6 on there. So we've been printing for the people who are still, uh, active on copy trading. The other announcement, uh, is we do have a trading contest on right now. So make sure, link in the description, go sign up for CoinW. I always recommend you have as many exchange accounts, um, as you can, right? You should be registering on as many exchanges as you can, and that's going to allow you to to get access to different coins that different exchanges list, and you'll always be ready. However, we have a trading contest, um, and the first place person gets $1,000 USDT bonus, uh, and then it's $500, $200, and then places 4 to 10 get $100 each in bonus, and then 11 to 20 get $50 each, and then 21 to 50. So there's room for 50 of you. The The first 50 people to do this will get trading bonuses, guaranteed, right? Guaranteed. Um, so this is based on, uh, trading volume, right? So load up your account on CoinW and get some volume. Start trading on there. Just switch your regular futures trading to CoinW for a while and you'll get some extra money. Now the other, uh, quick announcement we have is Patience, our trading indicator company, is launching its next free indicator. Okay, so, so far we have one free trading indicator out, and then we have our premium VIP trading indicator suite that has the full patient's kit and all of our premium indicators. Okay, and it also has our private trading Discord. However, what you need to do to get access to this when it comes out is enter your email. I'll put the link in the description. All you got to do is enter your email for the free trading indicator list, um, and then also follow us on TradingView at Patience.io— or sorry, Patience.io. Let's get into the news here, okay, and some, and some charts. MicroStrategy has just purchased 3,000 additional Bitcoin for $155 million, okay. So they just dropped $155 mil out of nowhere on some Bitcoin. Their average price is $51,813. Now they hold, they hold 193,000 Bitcoins, plural, acquired for $6 billion, and their average price is $31,544. Now this is the chart I wanted to show you, okay? Look at MicroStrategy's purchases. They do not care at all where they purchase Bitcoin right now. And if this isn't bullish to you, I don't know what is, right? This is a major, major company, um, acquiring Bitcoin constantly. They do not care where it goes. They're not even trying to time anything. You guys can see major purchases at the top, right? They got wrecked, right? $59,000, $59,000, $57,000, $55,000. Huge, huge purchases coming in. And this data only goes up to 2023 on this one. So if we updated this, it would look similar, right? Because they just bought at $51,000 again. So they don't care. So where do you think a company like this thinks Bitcoin is going? They think it's going to $100K, $200K, right? Because otherwise, why would they buy at $60,000? It's not even worth it for them. Now let's talk a little bit about Bitcoin because we are hanging out at $53,000, which— this is just amazing, right? Like, this is actually amazing to see, um, Bitcoin doing so well here. So here's the 12-hour. Look at that beautiful trade right there, um, that you could have got in on, on the Patience Kit. Uh, and honestly, I'm hoping for a bounce off this middle trend line And I actually put that in the Discord, uh, in the Patience Discord. Uh, if we go into here and we look at the Patience Discord, boom, you can see right there I said this morning, actually, I'm hoping for a middle trendline bounce, uh, upwards here. And you can see we did actually get that huge, huge off that middle trendline. Okay, now let's talk about XRP and the altcoins. So first of all, FLAIR. I mean, congratulations to FLAIR holders, right? You're finally in the positive after a year of holding this thing, right? You're finally 31% up, 140%. That means if you bought at the start of this month, right? And I've had tweets go out saying FLAIR is a gem for the last 2 years, right? We've been talking about FLAIR for like 2 years now. Um, and so if you just started off the month of February and you're like, damn, I want to buy a new altcoin for my long-term portfolio, let me buy Flare. If you did that, you are now well past double your money, okay? Well past double your money. Also, just for some motivational purposes here, I did want to show this. I forgot to bring it up. We had someone retire at 29 years old. In the Gold Squad Discord, okay? And here he is thanking, uh, Megan and I for helping him be able to retire at 29 years old. So he escaped his 9-to-5 and he's on that laptop lifestyle, okay? This is insane, and this is the real stuff that happens. And that's why when haters come at us, when haters come at me, it's like you are arguing against 500 screenshots of lives changed. Like, I have 500+ screenshots of stuff like this where they're thanking the community and thanking Megan and I for helping them boss their life up, boss their financials up, right? And obviously there's people who lose money too, but ultimately it is your fault, right? It is your fault if you lose money, and it's your fault if you gain money. It is not because of me that this guy can retire. It's because of his choices that he made, right? He listened to the overall information and then he made the choices, right? So all these morons that are hating, I mean, you're hating against— we've— if you look at the like P&L of some of this stuff, I mean, we've made multi-millionaires on here, right? Right? Like, I know for sure, I have screenshots of genuine people emailing me and telling me that they've made shitloads of money. Now here's something we haven't made shitloads of money on, and that's XRP, okay? This has had a horrible, horrible run here, okay? You can see the stupid little spike we got from the lawsuit win right there, and then it's right back to business, just right back to being a little stablecoin at 50 cents. Now I sound salty, it's all in good fun, okay? I really do not care where XRP goes. I, I, I recommend that everyone here bulletproofs their portfolio to XRP. You guys got to remember, I mean, I bought over here, like my buy-in is right here, okay? Look at where my buy-in is on your screen. I got to experience this giant run-up which was the most insane time ever, and I didn't sell. And then we went into this deathly bear market, and then we got $1.90, and I didn't sell, right? Because I do believe we're going past all-time high. I think XRP can shock a lot of people. However, make sure you're not relying on XRP to be the one that, that blows up, right? That doesn't mean— well, I am done with buying XRP. I'm not buying any new XRP but I'm sitting on a comfortable bag, uh, and my money's going into things like Commonwealth, my money's going into things like Covalent, some AI plays, uh, new projects that are actually exploding on a daily basis. So still bullish though, and still will cover XRP forever on this channel till that— till, like I always say, until zero or the moon. I'm here till zero or the moon. Now let's talk about the HBAR Hash Pack airdrop, folks. Um, the PAC token, uh, has revealed how to get into this airdrop, and they have never used the word airdrop, I don't think. Um, but there's two main ways, okay? Number one is these concierge collectibles, and these will be the main way to obtain PAC upon launch, but they are not the only way. So they're— this means they're launching an NFT, these collectibles, and you have to buy the collectible to actually get access to the token. Now, I don't like this move too much, right? Unless the NFT is like $20, $50, $100, maybe max $250, right? Max cost, uh, because you'll have to buy the actual concierge NFT, and then you have to buy some of the token. So they need to leave room for lower budgets, right? Like, a lot of people can't afford $250 for the NFT and then putting in $500 into the token. So they have to be wary of that. And then also right here, they said, to ensure a wider and more healthy launch of PAC token, we'll also be distributing PAC to our loyal supporters as a show of gratitude. So does that mean that, um, they're doing an airdrop to loyal supporters? So does that mean that the more I've used Hashpack, the more tokens I'm gonna get? Kind of. It kind of makes sense, right? It kind of makes sense. It kind of looks like they're doing that. Um, now people are asking where to buy the collection and what, what to do right now. You can't really do anything here until, uh, March 1st, okay? March 1st, um, March 1st is where you're going to want to pay attention to Hashpack, and they're going to have more info, and I will cover that when it comes. Now, the Digital Euro Association has just partnered with the HBAR Foundation. Okay, so what is the DEA, first of all? So the Digital Euro Association— and this is not the Digital Pound Foundation or anything. This is the Digital Euro Association. They describe themselves as a think tank specializing in central bank digital currencies— excuse me, stablecoins, crypto assets, and other forms of digital money— based in Frankfurt, Germany, in particular focusing on the digital euro. Okay, so this is nothing really special, right? I'm just gonna say that off the bat. Like, this is still a very cool partnership here Uh, however, they're just a think tank. They're just a think tank. Um, and they do have some good people behind them. Um, and I haven't actually checked out this— ooh, look at that, look at that! Their institutional members also include Ripple and AlephZero. Um, and actually, now that I'm doing more research into this— oh, whenever, whenever it says like bronze tier members silver members, gold members. Like, whenever it says that, usually that means they've paid to be part of this, okay? So whenever you see these like tiers, that means usually that they've paid to be a part of this. So we've seen just a ton of stuff coming out of Build Your Securities Economy. Damn, I haven't looked at this website in a while. Um, We've seen a ton of stuff coming out with HBAR announcements and stuff, um, and they're spending that money. The money that they were given, that big grant, they're spending it, right? And it is kind of affecting the price. Like, we are above 10 cents, and that's pretty good, right? Like, anyone who says HBAR doesn't move is a moron. We're up 50% on the month, 50% on the year. We're down 73% on the all chart, and that's why this is still a good purchase in my opinion, because we still haven't went anywhere with this. So 11 cents on HBAR. Um, this is a cool announcement that did come out. I do see some other cryptos. Aleph Zero is a crypto. You have Circle USDC stablecoin, then you got Ripple. Okay, next thing is Pyth Network, um, is an oracle that's actually building on Hedera and providing data for Hedera. They provide real-time market uh, to the Hedera network for over 400 assets. So wanted to point out another use case right there. Here's something bad that happened. Shane Higdon, who's the co-founder— I didn't know that— the co-founder and CEO of the HBAR Foundation, he was hacked on his Twitter. Okay, he was hacked. So another executive from one of these utility coin projects that's being hacked. We had the Algorand, uh, person hacked. We had, uh, I believe Stellar too got hacked, uh, and now we have— and then Brad or, uh, Chris Larsen from, from Ripple got hacked. Now we got this guy. What's going on? Do y'all not know how to make passwords? Like, you are part of ABFT, right? Asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance. The number one, like, most secure blockchain is Hashgraph, right? We need to take the security seriously, seriously. And some HBAR holders probably got scammed by the links he tweeted, right? The hacker tweeted. So be very careful. Don't believe anything. Hedera does not do airdrops themselves, right? You have to look at external projects and vet them yourself. Now this was freaking awesome, bro. You have to admit, you are a salty, miserable moron if you can't admit that this was sick. Okay, BitBoy Crypto, formerly known as BitBoy Crypto, Ben Armstrong, actually went out in the Karate Combat pit along with all the other influencers. Shout out to them. Crypto Crow's fight was dope. Grady Um, yeah, awesome fights, but BitBoy was the star of the show, dude, and he, he wrecked this little guy right here, this meme coin developer. This guy developed one of the craziest, horribly named meme coins I've ever seen in my life. I'm not even gonna mention the name. I'm not even gonna mention it because I don't want to give it any attention. I've hated on it so much, it's horrendous. And I hope that it continues to dump. Uh, you know, have fun with your stupid meme coins, but you know, this guy has been extracting liquidity probably from that for 90 days straight, in my opinion. That's not fact-based, but BitBoy wrecked him. Um, my Karate tokens were on BitBoy, of course. The rage, and like, it was just epic. And if you haven't watched this fight, go and watch it. Um, go and watch it. Absolutely awesome. However, Karate Combat— here's the token, right? So here's the token. We're on a massive high right now. We're up like massively. We're up massively, right? And 24 hours, you're getting a nice pump. Now, I don't want to seem like I'm fudding the project or anything, okay? I love Karate Combat. I'll be holding it forever. I'll be paying attention, going to the events, promoting it forever because I love it. I think it's like can compete with the UFC. It's very entertaining. And I, I hope one day we can do a ticket giveaway, like where we got— we pay one of you guys or a couple friends to go and fly out to one of the events. Hotel paid for, tickets paid for, VIP. You can meet me and Megan, you can chill, watch the fights. I hope we can do that one day. And we should do that one day. However, you have to admit, bro, these token unlocks do not look good. So this is a website called token.unlock, okay? And this is one of the best websites in crypto, and I'm not sponsored, I'm not affiliated. I wish I owned this. Token unlocks, if you're willing to sell your website, I will gladly purchase the whole business off of you because I love this and this is super useful. Um, so here you can see unlocks. Okay, now what a token unlock is— whenever a token starts up, right, like whenever there's a new launch coming, for example, Commonwealth. Okay, so Commonwealth is one of the projects, um, that I'm watching that's like going to launch. Whenever there's a new launch coming, there's tokenomics that get put out. And what that looks like is a, is a pie graph like this. Okay, so you see the pie graph right here? This is showing where all of the tokens got distributed to on the launch. So if you have a million token supply, you have to distribute and show where those tokens are going to get pushed out to when it launches, like when you do the token generation event. So Here's the, here's the allocations for Karate Combat. We can see that 38% went to the founders, 30% went to the pre-launch SAFT, and SAFT means a token agreement. Okay, now 16% went to the community treasury. That's really good, that's really good. Uh, 7% went to league contractors. Okay, what the heck is that? Maybe that's like, um, I don't know, some commission that has to regulate the fights, or regulators, or maybe this pays for their venues and stuff. 4% went to the public round, 2% went to historical investors, 2% went to advisors, 1% went to angel and founders round. So even another founders portion right there, um, and then 0% went to athletes. No, it's not 0%, it's 0.5%, uh, percent. And you can actually see all the breakdowns of how much Karate tokens went, went there. Now here's the thing we need to look at, is called the vesting schedule. So this 40 billion tokens that were given to the Karate Combat founders, the 40 billion Um, this $40 billion or $41.74 billion, they don't just get it all at once, and they don't just— they can't just dump it all at once, or they can't just do whatever they want with it. In fact, they actually have none of it right now, I believe. Um, here's where we are today in the vesting schedule. So only the only allocations that are actively unlocking are the public round and the community treasury. So community treasury, it's not in their interest to really dump that like crazy. The public round, it is in their interest to dump that because the token price has been so good. Um, but clearly we've been able to fight against any sell pressure, right? We've been able to fight it. But when we get to May 13th, or like, yeah, May 13th all of these new allocations start up, and it's actually everything, right? I believe it's actually everything that starts unlocking each month from May 13th. So May 13th, you get a massive unlock, then the next is in June, right? June 13th. Then the next is July 13th. So every month, um, every month until, uh, April of 2026, every single month we have a new unlock for like multiple parties. So I'm just saying, this is just a warning and just showing you the tokenomics, right? Like, this is not FUD, but what I'm saying is consider, consider taking some profits on your Karate tokens. Consider. And I will say personally I did take out a little bit of profit to secure this price point in case that selling pressure is huge. Now, this is not to say, like, this is not to say that in May we're just gonna dump so far down, and then from every month thereon, we're gonna go dumping into huge bearish action. No, right? A lot of these, these guys that are getting the unlocks will hold. Like, a lot of them will hold their bag because they know Karate Token will be even more in the future. So even though their tokens are unlocked and they can do whatever they want, a lot of them are going to hold. Okay, now let's talk about Commonwealth. Okay, Commonwealth is a project that I am an advisor for. They are currently running their first free venture capital fund. They're airdropping $2.4 million in VC allocation to hot, unlaunched Web3 projects for free. Crazy stuff. Okay, now link in the description. If you're still watching, you clearly are here to learn and you deserve this opportunity, um, to be a part of something giant like this. Use the link in the description. That is our referral link for Commonwealth. But all you have to do— it's going to give you this stupid warning. Elon just does these stupid warnings on any links right now. It's really dumb. Um, uh, but go to, go to the link in the description. You're going to be able to sign up your account for the free fund. Okay, the free fund has 14 different projects in it. Okay, so Chirp, DYOR Exchange, Asymmetry, Analog, Cookie3, Nibiru Chain— all of these new projects, um, that are coming out are contained within this fund. And you will actually be able to get slices of this fund. Okay, so right now, um, there's 10 $10,000 slices up for grabs. There's 50 $5,000 slices up for grabs. There's 1,000 $1,000 slices up for grabs. And then tier 4 is the wealth airdrop. Okay, so make sure you get into this early here. I've been farming XP. I've been also farming the wealth token with my Genesis Series NFT. Uh, which has been awesome. Okay, Commonwealth Beta. Now the next project, uh, that actually is a sponsor of today's video— this is DTEK. We talked about this in the last video, but what they're doing is they're actually developing, or have developed, the DTEK Assistant, which is a software component that can be installed on the operating system of any type of vehicle or smart platform. So this is really an IoT niche coin. IoT is Internet of Things, and they're very focused on the vehicle aspect. Okay, so you guys can come on here, watch the promo video that they do have for their, for their, their project here and the DTEK token. The DTEK token is on CoinMarketCap. There's only 900 million tokens there as well. And go make sure you follow them on Twitter as well. Okay, DTEK Crypto Revolution, explore DTEK blockchain. Currently they're doing, uh, or this was actually back in December that they did that, but they can basically tap in this virtual like assistant into your car and it can actually interact with Internet of Things devices. Okay, which means you could control the heat in your office from your car you could turn on lights on and off. You can do crazy stuff, uh, while you're driving. So, you know, for people who commute to their work or stuff, you can do crazy integrations like that. So DTEK Blockchain, shout out to them. Then we also have another sponsor, WorkX. Okay, WorkX also does have a token, um, available on KuCoin even. So good listing there. Um, DTEK— here, hold on, let's just look quick at DTEK where the, um, oh, DTEK token might not be out yet actually, or they might have not got their CoinMarketCap listing yet. Um, WorkX is the internet of jobs, okay? So this is like the decentralized version of Fiverr or like Upwork or something like that. So you can basically come on here and peer-to-peer, you can work together, you can recruit people You can also have— they're pioneering decentralized AI job matching, so the AI will help match you to people you need and vice versa, right? So people who want a job can be matched perfectly with AI to, to the job they want. Okay, empowering both talent and employers without commercial fees. Okay, if we click visit platform, that's gonna take you to workx.io, which is the actual platform where you can log in, you can find talent, you can select the skills that they need, the characteristics. You can see some of the listings right here. Remote jobs. If you guys want remote jobs or looking for anything, you can pop on here, list yourself as a talent. Very cool platform. Shout out to WorkX.
