I run with I got some real one. You ain't one doesn't forward This isn't fresh. We've been building since oh six in the kitchen with the Pyrex had a great mix, We was yelling yelling popcorn season She on the strap for a fucking reason I've seen the motors. They was already acting extra with the special treatment Past achievements,  they don't mean nothin Now that the fan ain't here, I mean somethin It's on the outside, it's on the outside I'm lookin for the shade, fuck the other side Who you messin nowadays,  we can catch a freight I'm all about the shade, who you messin nowadays  She crazy nowadays  Nowadays most change  Yeah, yeah, we gonna change too Yeah, yeah, we got more change too  And and i'm nothing like I used to Big but with the same heart i'm a young j.

I got the ac blowing got the elly lit I've seen crowns, and they counterfeit looking funny like they money is first Team all ignorant.  It's politics, levels, and some differences.  Everybody witnesses.  Think I'm out for you, I'm out for this. I'm all about the cannabis.  Push, push, push up on the set. Nowadays. 

Give a fuck about respect. Nowadays.  I'm the last one left. Nowadays. Nowadays. Nowadays. Nowadays. Nowadays. Shout out to the kid Lasso, man.  Shout out to the DJ, DJ Duke, where you at?  Talk to us, DJ Duke, where you at? All right, so let me wrap this up really quick.  Short story, obviously I got in during the rise, during the whole spike, you know, early on, lost some money. 

Funny thing is,  while I was losing that money, I was earning money, getting it back,  and If I was to go and look at what's my percentage been so far  On my money since I've been in the crypto space in a year's time drumroll,  please  We're looking at  Like 2 000 percent gain on my money  2 000 percent buddy  And obviously yeah, a lot of people lost like eight percent of their money this year  but  I mean, there's so many different ways, so many different types of investors that are out there and so many different types of people that are in the crypto space that are out there.

So, it all depends on what you do. And me personally, I'm active in this bitch. I'm active, buddy. I'm at this shit 94 feet.  I'm trying to have my hand in everything, everything. I don't, I don't care.  I really don't because what's it done for me in the last year.  Oh, yeah, I'm starting to see it and we're talking a year folks And I haven't put much money into it 

A year, I don't know if y'all hear me like a year's and we're still in the down market, so I've already seen and tasted what it looks like at a healthy market. Oh man Now that I got a little bit more knowledge, I got a little bit more experience. I'm one year experience now. I feel a little bit more comfortable. 

Been through some shit. Adjusted, made adjustments, you know what I'm saying? 

Before I get all, I'm going to get into all that.  So, you know, that wraps it up, man.  Yeah, I got in during the spike. I got in when, you know, they were saying, oh yeah, buy now. And, you know, shit was at like 17, I bought some here and there.  Lost some, you know, got caught in the hype. It's new, new.  I didn't give up though.

I wasn't going to fucking cry about it and bitch about it. And like some of these other folks, I was just going to figure out, all right, what did I do wrong? What I got to do right? And are there other ways to get this?  I discovered that. I said, okay. 

Yeah. 

It's the reason why, you know, I've been so.  Absent man's well  YouTube channel is finally able to monetize. So yeah, that was a full year's work as well Started that bad boy around this time. I believe last year got that email saying hey, you're able to monetize on YouTube. Thank you, Income string boom, extra one.

There it is. Bam. Bam 

The whole plan, my whole plots, all my plots I've been plotting for a minute. Plan. Uh oh. Starting to unravel, buddy.  Because best believe that was part of my plan. Coming into, I believe, yeah, 2019, because I started.  Yeah, that was my plan. That's one of my plans was to  get that YouTube check. What that talking about, man? 

Seen it, heard about it. Never experienced it.  Shit, I checked today. I'm like, I'm already at eight cents on that shit. I'm like, what the f  I didn't even do anything. A lot of people are like, Whoa, that's not even, that's no money.  That's cool.  Everybody has a different perspective on what money is, man. 

Everybody does. So,  some people connect and, you know, look at certain ways, some people don't, and some people can never just, you know, get the idea of it, you know. It's to each his own, and some people just, you know, just, 

I don't know, it's tough, man.  Cause to me, if you're getting any type of money daily, just coming in, it's hard. 

I'm sorry. I'll take that.  I'm sorry. I don't care what it is.  People say, well, you only get a dollar a day.  It's more a dollar than I did have yesterday, bro. Like, what? Overtime, that adds up, man.  Think about that.  Like, think about that, man. Imagine if you're just getting paid a dollar a day just to be here. 

Just to be here.  Trying to tell me over time you're not going to be somewhat rich? Somewhat wealthy? Then you were the day before?  And then you start moving that money and having that money make more money, like, man, come on, bruh.  So yeah, today, YouTube made me 8 cents on some light stuff. I'm like, alright, bet. 

Wait till that thing starts bringing me in 10 a day type of shit or something. Something, just something light.  Don't let it start bringing me in 100 a day. Oof, come on now.  So that's been keeping me busy, man. Finally got that bad boy monetized.  Again, bounties and airdrops, man.  If you still don't know what those are, oh man. 

Easiest way to get it. That's the, that's the funny part. A lot of people think crypto is an investment. It's more just an investment. All it is is an investment.  Okay, if you're going to think like that, well that's fine. But at the same time, you can still get free investments. Yeah, free.  So now you're taking all the risk out of it since so many people are so freaking just so negative on the space, you know, so volatile.

And I was like, okay, yeah, yeah.  Well, there's ways where you can get some for free and then guess where your whole risk is out. Now it's just all gains no matter if it goes up or down, up or down.  And I would say probably like half, if not most of my portfolio, some of these coins and tokens I've gotten for free. 

Yeah, so like people just don't get man. So that's another thing that's been keeping me busy and then obviously all my other real world job stuff that I do Travel agent for those of you that know I got the deals man I got deals for days throwing that out their estate as well Coaching  coaching hoops. 

Shoot.  Yeah, keeping myself busy, man So and then obviously these platforms I discovered pie pie steam it Those two platforms right there, buddy. They're about to bring, bringing me in some money.  Been busy, but I do know that once you start becoming a content creator, you gotta be, man, it's a grind because trying to be consistent, which that's another thing I've been learning in the last year.

You gotta be consistent to really see the growth and the growth is there if you're consistent. So.  Man, I've been doing that on these social platforms. Oh, it's about to be cooks 10 a day. 20 a day is going to be really easy, folks.  Should I do an IG and Snapchat? Imagine getting paid 10 a day just. Just for using it.

Yep.  I'm about to be on that. So, yeah, I've been  tunnel vision. 

Tunnel vision. 

I got to be, man.  This journey, I'm getting to this journey, man. I'm getting to that crypto million, man.  It's going to come a lot sooner, probably.  But the rides could be fun. The ride is off. The ride is fun right now.  Seeing what it does for my money. My money really works, man.  Got a trading robot. Who would have thought I've been trading for a full year now?

Got a trading robot that be bringing me in like 2 percent per trade. Like, man, I think that thing's about to have some real money pretty soon, too. Oh, don't let that thing start bringing me in 100 a day. Come on now.  What job? I don't need no job.  Content creating is my job and just being a freaking enthusiast.

Speaking of jobs, man, that's, that's one thing that I not, I didn't think that I would actually start doing is being like a blogger.  And getting paid off of it. Cause people always tell me, oh, you should do this. You should do that. I'm like, yeah, should, but never actually took the risk of actually doing it.

And that's the one thing about crypto. You got to take a lot of you take risks, but the rewards, man, you know, obviously what's going to happen about the future. That's the thing about the crypto.  I play, I'm playing the short term, the midterm, the long term. I'm playing all of them games, bro. I'm, I'm hodling trading daily.

Like  I said, I'm heavy, I'm heavily involved in this space, man.  But it's doing a lot of different things for me. A lot of different things for me that I didn't think I'd be able to do so quickly. 

So yeah, I gotta, I gotta be, I'm all in, man.  But 

what's been giving me back, the rewards? 

Pretty soon, I'm not, that's, those are going to be my jobs.  Creating content for a living.  Traveling, blogging, yeah, all, all that. All that, boy.  It's coming soon, B. I'm really excited.  Really excited.  Like I said 2019 will be a good year. 

Good year man. 

And it's funny too cuz 

If you're not open-minded man, I  feel like you miss out on things.  And this right here, the technology, like That's another thing too. I'm like, I'm a big nerd major major nerd like so maybe that's why I'm so into it Some people just Anytime you bring that subject up trying to make conversation about that people just be like, oh my god Like it's like the worst thing in fucking the planet right now like crypto off.

Why don't you do that?  It's like fucking hey, man Why do people do fucking heroin shit?  I mean really.  I mean some of the reactions to crypto Dude is ridiculous but again, if you aren't open minded, man, you just, you going to miss a lot of it.  So maybe, maybe, I don't know. Like, I'm over it though, that's for sure.

I'm, I'm over trying to like, if somebody wants to talk about it with me, that's cool, but, other people, man, I'm, I'm just going to keep this to myself.  Like, cause man, people are so negative about it, but.  Okay.  It's cool, they fall into the trap of man and all that other shit.  Tell you man. Man, you can't.  You talk about crypto to somebody, it's like, oh. 

It's like, oh my god, why are you talking about that? Like, crypto, like, oh my god.  That's where people lose all their money. It's like, fucking chill, man. Fucking chill.  Relax. Holy shit. You don't got to be so negative about it, dude. Like, some of y'all don't even understand what the fuck it is.  All that negative energy.

I'm just like, man, I can't even. 

Like, my mom's funny, man. Check this out, though. That's another thing. My parents have no idea, like, what the hell I'm doing.  They have no idea what I'm on and what I'm about to be on. That's the funny. It's just crazy. Cause my mom.  She had the, the other day, she over here telling me, don't put all your money in krep.

It's like, huh?  Like what?  Uh, you don't even, 

you don't even, like, what, what are you, how you going? Tell me about something where you don't even really have knowledge on, and don't even, haven't even done it yourself. 

But don't do it. What?  You haven't seen what I've seen.  What?  Don't put all your money in the crypto.  I'm trying to live off crypto. You much, much more money I can make on crypto than I can with the freaking US dollar.  I don't think that's, and it's not just her. It's that whole generation. I'm not trying to be mean or anything, man. 

With that whole generation, man, that's just, It's just like, they're so negative towards it.  It's crazy.  And her whole thing was, well if the internet goes down, I'm like, if the internet goes down, everybody's screwed. She tried to say that you can go on your ATM machine.  Uh, ATM machines use the internet. How you think it's going to read your card and know to get the money out of your account?

Like, what?  I don't know.  Hmm, like I said that generation I don't know if it's the whole generation. I don't want you know Generalize the whole generation, but I would say majority of it or the Generation or let me say this I'm not going to say majority but That generation I've been around and talked with about I would say a lot more negative on it Which is cool because you know Everybody comes up with different times. 

But, I mean, they still using checks.  Like bro, checks?  Come on man, checks are lost art. Like, it's going to be an artifact pretty soon. Like, nobody uses checks anymore. It's slow.  Like, that's nothing.  A lot of the ways they use money, it's very slow. Takes too long, man. God damn.  Like, checks.  Cash with a cashier orders.

Some shit like some of this. I'm just like, bro, what? 

But you know, like I said, the generational thing, I'm trying to move quickly, man.  I need money. I need money right now. I should be able to get it right now.  I go in my Bitcoin right now.  Use some money, get some money, send some money anywhere.  I don't get to wait.  All right, check on my bank.  There aren't no, oh, you know, is this you?

Negative. It's me.  It's me, man. 

Think about that.  Like, don't I don't get, like, don't y'all think that's weird? You can only get money from the bank Monday through Friday? 

Like, cause, if I'm not mistaken, you know, banks are closed on weekends and shit. And shit stops, cause, you know, Businesses don't, you know, you can't Like, what the fuck?  That's weird. I feel like that's weird.  You can only get money when they say it. You can get the money. But allegedly it's your money.

Allegedly you can do, you know, this with it. Allegedly you can do that. Yeah. Okay.  But if the internet goes down, we're screwed. No. But, you know, physical cash and all that. Man, cash is Cash would be a thing of the past, man. Maybe. 

Come on.  Like I said, it's cool. But it's funny. I have explained this to my grandmother. She she gets it. 

And she's older. She's like the real real older generation. Not real real old, but I don't know what particular name their generation is called. 

Because I know my parents. I think the baby boomers are.  Yeah, trying to think of her generation. I forget but explain to her. She.  She caught on quickly. I'm like, what the? 

And I explained to her, you know what?  What banks are doing and shit and Like bro, like you guys do not understand like the power of what you can do with crypto man, like if I was in if I was podcasting right now from freaking Let's just say like Spain right now or something or Germany  I need cash, I need cash, or I need some type of funds. 

Bank, you know, you got to call them and tell them this. There's so many, so many different procedures that you got to go through. It's a headache, it's a headache.  It's very slow, it's a headache, it's inefficient. Man, You  want to go to Germany? Cause I'm going. I'm going to a lot of different places, man. 2019's going to be crazy. 

I need money. All I got to do is look at my Bitcoin accounts, you know, which is in there or a different crypto that I'm holding.  And I can just use them like debit card or wallet. Cause from what I hear, Europe is huge on crypto.  So, they probably got just digital wallets where you can just scan, send, and just keep it pushing. 

And that's, that's just, ah, it's lovely, man. It's lovely. 

But, like I said, it isn't for everybody. 

But you sit down and have an open mind towards it. Trust me, you'll feel differently after you're done.  Mm hmm.  Yeah, imagine that. 2019, man.  2019 is going to be, ooh, crazy.  I'm definitely going to be, I'm going to definitely try to be a little bit more consistent, though.  Cause I got a lot of, a lot of things to share with y'all. 

Uh, like, I mean, it's, uh, man, it's overwhelming sometimes.  Like, it's really overwhelming and, to see the progression and the progress, to see it happen quickly and, at different, in different places actually, like, man, it's wild. And to see, like, 

It's a crazy. That's another thing before I go ahead and in this for today.  I'm going to go ahead and talk about obviously my portfolio. 

And then I'm going to talk about some different statistics and some numbers. I'm going to throw out there.  Let y'all marinate on that. 

Cause like I said, I got a lot of different things, man.  A lot of different things that  sometimes I be feeling like I'm in the future.  Like no bullshit.  You would think I was a time traveler because some of this stuff it's like bro it's  it's such a no brainer that it's like when it clicks it's like whoa. 

Yeah so, we're going to go ahead and we're going to finish it off with that.  I'm going to throw on some AQ really quick. DJ Duke going to throw on this AQ really quick. I don't know what song he's going to throw on, but he's going to throw on something nice. 

I'm going to go ahead and get reshaded.  Just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit. 

And then we're going to end it with that. 

DJ Duke. Go ahead. 

Champagne, fruit. 

Get the

Keep missing, Scottie got me going like, Straight shots just to get you started. Blank's candy kickin in my brother's body. Make a wish but we don't see what happens.

Mm hmm.  Straight shots this birthday coming up.  Yeah, it's my birthday.  V Day coming up, y'all. 27 on 27.  It's going to be a great fucking year.  So, let's go ahead and wrap this up, man.  Today's episode. I'm going to try this new format, man.  This new format I'm going to do. Some music. 

Break it up to, you know, little, little segments, little segments. I'm wrap it up really quick though, really quick. Um, let's, let's dive on, in on, let's talk about this. Let's talk money, let's talk portfolio.  So earlier y'all heard me say, yeah, 2000% on my money in your year, if you don't have the delta port, uh, the Delta app. 

I highly suggest that you, uh, download that to track your crypto portfolio and all your analytics because you can hook up your API for all your different exchanges and track with precise numbers.  It's pretty nice.  But yeah, man, you look at my balance change from the low of December from the high of December.

I mean, 2000 percent of your money, man.  It's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy, man.  And the coins I'm holding right now, um, Cardano, Wall N Chain, Genesis Vision.  Uh, QuarkChain, Quantum, SiaCoin, Nano, Ontology, Wall N Chain, Ripple.  And BRD, Gasmiota,  Electroneum.  Some verge droppable. I mean, I have a lot of coins, but you know, the top 50 coins, you know, most of those are a huddle and also trade with daily.

But I mean, there's so many different good projects out there where you can make money and some, and I mean, look, this is gold coin market cap right now.  Look at this market cast back at 143 billion right now.  We're all I see is greens boy. I love this greens greens going into speaking of greens greens going into Christmas  early up man.

But if you look at some of these changes the last 24 hours, we got 4 percent 5 17 6 9 6 10. I mean there's so many different coins man that you could just make money daily. Let me kneels up 19 percent last 24 hours. It's just qualms up 23 percent less. I mean, it's just, there's money to be made, man.  It's got no, and do I look at this shit daily?

Hell yeah. Look at this shit daily, man. 

Cause I always try, you know, take mental pictures of where prices are.  So, you know, if you dump your money here, you know, you won't get an easy come up, man. Like KuCoin shares, man. That's another coin that I would just want to huddle long term. Cause you, you get other coins for holding that. Right now, it's at 71 cents.

It was just at 50 cents like a couple weeks ago.  Shit jumps fast, man.  And you can catch all these waves.  And that's what I plan on doing. I'm going to catch these waves.  What's this? Oh, 

and the last thing I'm going to say too, last couple of things I'm going to say before I Before I take off for today, 

you look at Bitcoin.  You look at bitcoins market cap right now.  It's only 73. 7 billion dollars. It's 10 years old.  You go look at some of these other stocks, some of these other companies and you look at their  their market cap and where they've came in like the last couple years. It's like for instance, let's go Apple  Apple 

So, Apple's, let's see, where is there's that. 

Where is Apple's market cap? 

Wow. Apple's market cap is 700, 715 and $27 billion.  Bitcoin is only at $73.7 billion., and this is just one stock. This is one stock. Apple and apple's been around for years. 

Apple's market cap is 115 billion alone.  Bitcoin hasn't even, Bitcoin hasn't even gotten to that yet. Like bro, the potential is just, can you imagine if Bitcoin's market cap was at $715 billion?  Jesus Christ.  Could you?  Cause look, I mean, look at Amazon's market cap. 673. 53 billion dollars. Like bro, what?  Bro. 

Wait till some of these other cryptos hit these crazy  Crazy market, Casbro. Like, Bitcoin is only at the same 3. 7 billion dollars.  That's it! You're running down market. Still, still got opportunities to make money. The last 7 days is up 30%. In the last 7 days, you could make 30 percent of your money. In the last 7 days! 

Let alone the last 24 hours.  Last 24 hours, you could make almost basically 5%.  But in the last 7 days, you're making 30 percent of your money.  But like I said, man, you got to know what you're doing.  But that's it for today, man. I'm going to be more consistent, y'all. I'm going to tell myself; I'm going to be more consistent because there's some stuff, I want to talk to y'all about, especially these new platforms.

If y'all are, if y'all are into social media and y'all want to make money, day one without having a big following, trust me, I got some, ooh, I got some heat for y'all, man, coming up.  All right, y'all. Peace.
