⚠️ THIS IS INSANE! HUGE CRYPTO CRASH COMING!? XRP, HBAR, ALGO, CSPR! IMPORTANT CRYPTO NEWS TODAY!

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 with another market update. Uh, we have a lot to cover. HBAR just hit a crazy partnership/integration with MetaMask, bringing them 30 million potential users. Pretty crazy. We're gonna talk XRP, XDC, Casper, Algorand, and a bunch of other stuff. But first, we did smash the like goal on the last video, and that means that there is a giveaway live for 100 XRP inside the Gold Squad Discord. So go join for free. Uh, we also have a $51 USDT giveaway. I gave away all my Twitter ad revenue, um, so any money I make on Twitter, I'll just give it back inside of the Gold Squad Discord. For our awesome members in there. Now, if we hit 888 likes on today's video, I will give away another 100 XRP, um, inside that Discord. Let's get into the market today though. We've got Manta. I was going to tell you guys to long Manta, but I did not. Uh, that thing is back up today 29%. Uh, this is one that has a lot of involvement from influencers, a lot of you know, early investors in there. We've got TAO, PulseChain up, uh, Helium is up. Uh, however, let's look at BTC today. We're at— oh, we just ticked back to $40K. Uh, there's a lot of speculation that we're going to talk about, um, with the Mt. Gox situation. Okay, so Mt. Gox is going to— is expected to repay its creditors 142,000 Bitcoin. And 143,000 in Bitcoin Cash. Okay. In addition to 69 billion Japanese yen. Okay. Which is $510 million by October of 2024. We know that the Bitcoin halving is coming in around April of 2024, which is going to be amazing, right? So a lot of people think that this is going to cause one final Bitcoin crash. Okay. One final Bitcoin crash. And the chart, I mean, you know, this support level was broken, right? The support level we were talking about right there, uh, basically at $40K, it was broken. We did, you know, touch $38K, which is pretty dang crazy. We are now at the bottom of our patience indicator bands right here. 12-hour chart, um, you can see, you you know, what usually happens when we touch the bottom of that band is that we do go back up. So hopefully we do, um, get to going up. We can see here we touch the top of the band, what happens? We come down. Here we touch the top of the band, what happened? We came down to about $40K, right? So this is the Patient Indicator Suite. Uh, that's just one of the indicators we have. If you guys want to get access This is me and Megan's indicator company. Um, you can buy your membership, you get a private Discord strictly focused on trading. We've got a new upgrade coming for the Patience indicators on January 29th, so it's a perfect time to join. Uh, however, this is what Bitcoin's doing, right? So I hope that we can see some strength to the upside. Now we're playing around live in this moment with $40,000. Uh, you've got some Ethereum ETF news coming out, which is very interesting, but the Mt. Gox thing is the biggest. So a lot of people like this guy thinks— think that this is a bullish scenario, right? You have the, the Grayscale Bitcoin unwinding. So basically Grayscale has to reprice, uh, their their, uh, their ETF, right? Or whatever they've got going on, their trust, the GBTC. They have to reprice it. Okay, so this is going to be very interesting. We have that happening with like 600,000 Bitcoin or something crazy, uh, and then you have, uh, you know, Mt. Gox unleashing this huge amount of Bitcoin. Now the real question is, how are the Mt. Gox people right? So here it is, hold on. This is in addition to 600,000 GBTC pricing, okay? 2024 April halving will reduce annual supply by 160,000. So there's super interesting dynamics coming, okay? And this is an email that they've actually received from Mt. Gox, uh, and we're gonna see what currency they get paid out in, right? Because a lot of these guys you have the most OG people, right? Like, if you were on Mt. Gox, you are a Bitcoin OG, you are a crypto OG, right? Crazy. Um, so these people might hold their Bitcoin, they might, or they might be like, holy cow, when I was buying Bitcoin on Mt. Gox, you know, it was like $400 per Bitcoin and now it's $40,000, should I just sell it? So we're gonna see how much selling pressure this actually brings. You also have everything, everything with FTX, just so much money to be dumped and unwinded from all of these stupid scams that have went on. So it's going to be pretty crazy. Now let's get into the altcoins. Here we have Hedera landing an integration with MetaMask. Okay, MetaMask snaps and WalletConnect on Hedera. With Tomb Technologies. The Hedera Wallet Snap brings full functionality of Hedera accounts on MetaMask. Full functionality. Now, I don't know how this works yet, okay? I don't know if you can use it right now, but we have the Wallet Snap. They're doing a Spaces right now, I believe. Yeah, they're, they're live in a Spaces right now with that. Um, but this is going to bring 30 million-plus monthly active users. That's what MetaMask has, uh, at the ready. And now HBAR is available on there. So what does this mean for HashPack, right? HashPack, you know, has been the MetaMask of, of the HBAR network. I will continue to use HashPack for all of my HBAR dealings. I'm not switching to MetaMask. Best believe I will not be putting my HBAR and using that with MetaMask, I will be using Hashpack, uh, because it's just way, way cleaner. Way cleaner. Now, HBAR also has just announced Reality Plus Web3, um, as— or sorry, Reality Plus Web3 has selected Hedera as the exclusive network to provide best-in-class digital, digital collectibles solutions for all its global brand clients. And guess who one of those global brand clients is? BBC Studios. Okay. They are an actual brand client. BBC, which is huge, of Reality+ Web3. Very, very interesting. Okay. And if you scroll through this, moving forward, Reality+ will use Hedera exclusively for all its projects. As part of this, Reality+ will mint a staggering 1.4 million digital collectibles on Hedera, already purchased by gamers across its portfolio. Super cool, huge partnership. I wanted to talk about Casper next, um, down 10% in 7 days, down 6% or 2%, sorry, 3% on the month. Uh, this is something, you know, that I am definitely watching. I'm definitely watching this. Hopefully we can come back up, uh, to 5 cents you do, you do just want to try get in as low as possible on these, right? So another one you can try to get low, get, uh, in low on, uh, it is heading back up steadily now. However, this had a little, uh, trough right here at 0.44. So these are about the same price, right? So if you're looking for some altcoins that are under 10 cents that you can feel good about your bag, you have thousands of them right? It's such a psychological game. Like with Quant, you know, most people can't get like 500 Quant, right? Because that's a lot of money, uh, and they can only afford like a couple or 10 or something. Uh, so, you know, it's psychologically disappointing and discouraging to only see that you have 10 of the tokens, uh, whereas some of these lower priced coins you can you can rake up a bag of like 20,000, and then it's more fun to think that you have 20,000 coins. Another one that I am, uh, watching is Algorand, because this thing is now down another 30 freaking percent on the month. Dude, you could buy this very easily and then it could rip back up to 24 cents. Now I personally am not buying yet, right? You could start DCA-ing in, which means like buying like $100 today and then $100 next week and then $100 the next week, or even, you know, $10 every day. You're going in and laddering in, uh, to try and get the best entries. However, I think we could definitely see this thing go back down to 10 cents for sure. Now Gemini has, uh, announced what they were building so much hype for, and it's freaking XRP perpetual contracts. Coming to Gemini. What does this mean for XRP holders and the price? Absolutely nothing. Absolutely nothing. Now you can just long and short, uh, with perps on Gemini. Okay, I don't use Gemini. I hate Gemini because they banned my account. They banned my existence on the platform because I had the wrong birthday by accident and it didn't match my ID. Just let me fix the birthday on the account. They're morons. They're absolute morons. Maybe they've wiped their ban list and maybe I can sign up, but I will not be using Gemini and I do not recommend Gemini in the slightest. Fix your shit and then Crypto Mason will talk good about you. But for right now, Gemini is garbage, uh, and they did a garbage announcement, right? No, no announcement like this. Like, when you see someone building hype like this for a big announcement about a crypto, it's always a disappointment. One of the most recent disappointments we had was with Stellar XLM. They tried to build all this hype and it was some stupid partnership with an actor. What the hell does an actor have to do with cryptocurrency? It's so dumb. They spend— some of these utility coins, bro, are spending their money unwisely, right? They're doing stupid stuff with the money. Uh, instead of doing that, they should be giving back some of this money that they've they've, uh, they've got. Because some of these crypto projects have literally like hundreds of millions or tens of millions that they could give back to the communities and help actually build the ecosystem out. However, um, let's keep it moving. So we're going to talk gaming coins, then we're going to mention, uh, some stuff about Cardano. Um, oh, and I forgot— oh shoot, we're 12 minutes in and I forgot this. Uh, but you know, this is for the real OGs anyways. I am dropping a video, 40-minute long video, um, about— it's a decoding video. So if you guys are, are OGs on the channel, you remember all my decoding videos, okay? And at the start of this video, I'll give an update and tell you why I stopped doing decoding videos. Um, but not anymore. 40 minutes. Decoding how we are entering a crazy era. Okay, we're actually entering, um, you'll see in the video, but make sure you watch this one because it tells you how to protect yourself going into this era of AI and all of this crazy stuff. As you can see over here, we're going from this, right, to this. That's the transition that's happening, and AI is actually bringing us there. Right? Despite popular belief that AI is going to make everything evil and bad, it's actually bringing us here, okay? And that's what I cover in that video. Let's get into the gaming coins, man. Hey, first of all, I like this reply right here. No one talks about Decentraland, MANA anymore. Same with Sandbox, okay? Those two are old, like they're from the previous cycle of metaverse coins. You need to be watching the new coins that haven't got the huge blowup yet. Two of those are Illuvium and Immutable X. We have worked with Illuvium, partnered with them in the past. This, uh, me talking about them right now is not sponsored in any way. I simply love the project. Same with IMX, not sponsored. I love them, uh, as well. And you know, these, these two are going to be good. Those two are going to be good. Also, this one, not sponsored at all, but Fusionist, which I am an early investor in the ACE token, okay? The ACE token, me and Megan both put some money, uh, early into the ACE token. This is the ACE Arena, and honestly, like, this, this looks pretty dope, okay? What they're doing with this ACE Arena, it's kind of like, um, anime style a little bit. It's a web-based pixel-style MOBA, and Ace Arena will only use ACE as its sole token. Okay, excuse me, uh, they— so what Fusionist has built is a game, a blockchain gaming infrastructure. So they actually have their own blockchain called Endurance. Okay. They, uh, they made their own blockchain called Endurance, and Endurance is actually specifically made to run gaming projects. Uh, and we've also got ACE getting listed, um, on KuCoin, which is very nice. Uh, Binance is an investor in this as well, an early investor. That's why, uh, when Fusionist launched, they had a Binance listing already, which is very crazy. Uh, so let's talk about Cardano, um, and then we're gonna give, uh, get into the sponsored section for today. So Cardano, uh, remains number one cryptocurrency in this metric. So what is the metric that Cardano is number one at? Uh, it is still narrowly leading development activity leaderboard, okay? Um, and Optimism and Chainlink and Status are moving up the list. Uh, but Cardano— and look at HBAR at number 6, okay, number 6. And then Cardano is number 1 right now. Very interesting. We need XRP to be number 1. We need more developers on XRP. We need more developers for all of the utility coin projects. We need Algorand up there. We need all of that to succeed. Uh, but Cardano— does anyone still hold Cardano? Like, Cardano is still a top 10 crypto. It's pretty crazy. Um, and I don't know how I feel about the price action, right? Like, could this actually do something? You know, it's down 23% on the month. Uh, it kind of looks like where, uh, Algorand is at right now, where we could actually see it go down to 40 cents here. Um, super interesting stuff happening with Cardano. Now also super interesting stuff happening with USP. I've talked about this project a lot. They just did their listing on, um, LBank. Okay, so if you go and sign up for LBank, I will leave a link in the description, you can actually buy some USP. Okay, and the chart is super choppy right now just because of low volume, but that is completely fine. You can actually get in right now at 1.97, uh, so 1 USP is currently worth 1.97 on here. Um, and you know, this is a fractional real estate, uh, fractionalized real estate project. We've talked about it so much, I don't think I have to give you guys a reminder on what USP is. However, I did want to point out that they are now on LBANK, and me and Megan are advisors for this project. We're helping them out with their social stuff, making sure they're, you know, getting the traction they deserve. And they've been doing some awesome posts here as well, some very educational stuff. Now, CoinLedger, uh, is a sponsor for today's video. If you guys need a place to do your crypto taxes, this works. I have to correct my last one for them.

Um, and CoinLedger, big shout out to them, trusted by over 500,000 crypto investors. This is where I will be loading my wallets into and seeing how much I owe. Now, final project for today, uh, DaVinci Graph. We are partnered with them to help them out, uh, with their launch here. So DaVinci Graph is actually a token management suite on Hedera. So I love partnering up with any projects on Hedera, uh, to support them. They are the ultimate toolkit for Hedera. They also have some NFTs that are going crazy already, uh, $1,000, uh, $150 to 4,500 HBAR floor price. The DaVinci token sale is going to be on very, very soon as well, so keep your, keep your eye out. There's actually 2 days left until the DaVinci token private sale, so it's only for the holders. So if you're an NFT holder for DaVinci Graph, you can get in. Okay, so it's only for the holders. So they have these utility NFTs right here So you've got a $49.99, um, and if you actually click this, uh, you can buy them right on here. Uh, you can— come on, dude, Grelth! You guys enabled payments for Grelth? Oh my goodness, this Grelth thing gets spammed everywhere and they're gonna clip this. I, I know they're gonna clip this and put this somewhere. Dude, why would you buy a coin with such an ugly face on it? I'm just joking. I don't really support meme-type coins on HBAR because it's just dirtying the network, but it's also— it's helping a little bit, come on. Uh, but DaVinci Graph, uh, very cool. They do— they specialize in token vesting, uh, token locking, token burning, on-chain token management, even logo curation, uh, which is very cool. So big shout out to DaVinci Graph. I'm going to be watching and trying to get in on that sale. So that is all we've got for today's video. I love every single one of you.
