seemingly the only topic worth discussing right now outside, of course, of legislation,
regulation is Bitcoin and crypto treasury companies.
We're seeing stories that some of the appetite for them might be decreasing,
but that doesn't mean that there are not certain treasury companies that are going to continue
to thrive and thrive massively.
Today's guest, David Namdar, actually running one of those treasury companies and one
that's very unique and definitely worth discussing.
Of course, we're also going to talk about markets,
all of the news and everything that's driving crypto at the moment.
But luckily, we finally have someone to do a deep dive on treasury companies with
who's actually built a treasury company.
Let's go.
Good morning, everybody. Happy Wednesday and welcome to the show and also welcome to the show.
We've got a guest never been here before. David, good morning. How are you?
Good morning. Very good.
We've done spaces, but haven't yet had you on YouTube. So, listen, there's a lot going on in the market.
You know, I remember when we used to have one story to talk about a month and it would drive Bitcoin up and down 30, 40 percent.
Now, every single day we have a new story about some regulation or some legislation.
I think it's fair to say that we're playing in the big leagues now.
And I can't imagine that that was the case when you started it.
For those don't know, I mean, you were one of the co-founders of Galaxy Digital alongside Mike Novagratz.
You have a long, long history of building institutional products in this space.
Yeah, thanks for that intro.
And I believe last night I was at New York Stock Exchange.
for an event. And, you know, it's kind of remarkable when I was with a number of my kind of
earliest friends in the crypto space, a number of other builders, a couple CEOs of other treasury
companies. And to think how far we've come from where we began, Nick Spanos was actually
there and him and another friend of mine, Austin and partner, Austin Alexander, started the Bitcoin
Center back in 2012, 2013 down on Wall Street to try to force Tradify and Wall Street to open their eyes
to Bitcoin and Crypto. And so, you know, it's amazing that now we're
infiltrating the New York stock exchange, the NASDAQ, every stock exchange around the world soon.
Yeah, so listen, let's dive deeper into that. First of all, right now we have a report coming
from U.S. lawmakers seeking the Department of the Treasury to report on feasibility, security
of government held Bitcoin. This is, of course, around a strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
We have alumus who's obviously long been a champion of the space saying, listen, we're getting
market structure, but then we're moving right on to strategic Bitcoin Reserve. And this is one of the
first times we've actually seen meaningful movement, I think, in that direction. It's been a huge
talking point. We had the legislation right when basically Trump came into office, but now we're
actually seeing movement on whether this is feasible or not in trying to figure out how it would
be done. Yeah. So actually, you know, another big headline today, more on the international
side, was Kyrgyzstan announced a strategic Bitcoin Reserve. And so we kind of forget sometimes,
you know, how global the market is. You know, I always.
like to bring up what El Salvador has achieved in a short period of time, really putting themselves
on the map by adopting Bitcoin and attracting capital and innovators there. I've been down there
and meet with the government myself a couple years ago. Actually, I was there with CZ a couple years
back. And then, you know, all of these other countries are copying. Now at this point, like every
government, every central banker has to be thinking about a treaty Bitcoin Reserve. And then you have
some like Germany that have sold off their Bitcoin holdings.
And that could change the fate of their nation when we look back on it decades from now.
Yeah, it's really crazy to see it finally happening.
Even if it's happening in these smaller countries, there are quite a few of them that we just don't talk about because we're so heavily focused on everything that's happening in the United States.
But Bitcoin adoption is happening all around the world.
And you kind of talked about the fact that Bitcoin and crypto are taking over public markets.
I think the next big story here, and I know you're close with these guys, is Gemini, Lyfts, IPO.
price range targets $3 billion valuation amid crypto boom.
This has to be the next kind of, I guess, weather vein, bellwether for how the market
is being received on the stock market, like how much appetite there is for crypto.
We saw I Toro did way better than I would have anticipated, bullish did exponentially better
than I would have anticipated.
And here we are now with Gemini.
Well, you know, so this is where, I mean, these are all like all close.
friends of mine, who I've known for a long time, Yoni at E. Toro's built an incredible business,
was very happy to see the success there. Brendan Blumer and Bullish have kind of surprised people
with, you know, people have forgotten about Bullish and still, you know, very few, it's something
it's kind of known among institutions, but not really among any retail. And whereas Gemini's kind of,
the opposite, whereas Gemini is quite known much more among retail and has taken an institutional
approach. So it's been really fighting on a number of different fronts, but I have so much respect
for the Winklebuss Twins and, you know, what Tyler and Cameron have done over the years is like
they've been fighting it out in New York despite over-regulation, NYDFS, Bit License, all of that.
And now, you know, I'm happy to see, you know, I'm actually participating in the IPO and a big supporter of
theirs.
Weren't you, correct me if I'm wrong? Didn't you participate in their early efforts to get an ETF in
2014? Well, not in their efforts, but with my own efforts. We were actually the first two in the
world, the Waco Basin and myself and my team at Solid X at trying to do a Bitcoin ETF. I think we filed
them in a couple weeks of each other. And, you know, it was a 10-year battle. We helped Van Eck, BlackRock,
you know, you can't imagine how many hours I spent at all these financial institutions and banks and
PE firms, trying to educate them on the space. And then, you know, it's a bit bittersweet when
the ETFs were finally approved last year, like partly for me because I really wish, like,
you know, we'll never know what damage kind of the SEC and kind of regulation did to not allow
U.S. investors to get into Bitcoin in mass at $100 to $300 per Bitcoin instead of $30,000 when the
ETF was finally approved. Okay. So you obviously were on the forefront of the ETF push,
which was the first, I think, iteration of Bitcoin and crypto exposure.
on Wall Street. We obviously saw how that was received when we finally got the BlackRock
ETFs and the rest of them. Now clearly, clearly the big trend is treasury companies, right?
I mean, we saw this announcement yesterday, QMMM, MMM, source over 600 percent after unveiling
a hundred million crypto treasury plan. This is a treasury company that's going to hold a bunch
of different tokens. In and of itself, not a huge story. I think just the fact that it went up
600% still in this market where you have articles that say crypto treasury frenzy is already
running out of steam seem to be conflicting because I think there's a sentiment that it might be
running out of steam but there's still people certainly finding a way to make announcements that
cause massively huge bumps in these stocks and some of those actually sustain well I guess
you know and I've seen this with I've had a lot of reporters reach out to me and I get contacted
by everyone you can imagine from between reporters, retail, institutions, really of like
hedge funds, longer institutional investors, sovereign funds, and then entrepreneurs in the space.
And so I do think the market is reaching a bit of an exhaustion point in conversations around
treasuries. And we're, you know, seeing a lot of people kind of just throw really like bad
ideas against the wall. And so that's the stuff that happens whenever any point in the market's
kind of overheated. But at the same time, what gets me excited is I just use that as a way
to filter out that noise. And the ones that kind of rise to the top, they're still, I'm still
looking at treasury companies every week and looking at making new investments. And so that's
really where, you know, it, it lets me kind of have a bit more clarity on and differentiation
among the good teams, the good projects, and the bad ones. And we were kind of talking
privately before and we've talked about it on spaces, it seems like maybe you actually have to have
a novel plan or a different plan than all of the other ones that are flooding into the market
right now. Obviously, we saw some exhaustion on the Bitcoin treasury side. I know that you were
pitched that idea sort of conceptually. So I want to dive in more to what you've actually built
because it's a different play, right? You have a B&B treasury company, B&B network company.
And there's a lot of reasons that, to me, makes a hell of a lot more sense.
I've been actually pushing the narrative for months since the Bitcoin Treasury
companies launched because I was struggling with it as a existential risk to the market,
maybe, that it's almost impossible to beat Bitcoin using Bitcoin, right?
You just could have to take on some sort of risk to actually increase your value of your share
per Bitcoin because there's no native yield, nothing like that.
alt coins, whether you believe in them as treasury assets or not, they have, you know,
proof of stake and yield and defy and there's ways to justify beating the benchmark on a lot of
these coins. And that's become sort of my base case. And you chose BNB. So maybe we can dive into
why that is. Sure. So actually, one of the very first recorded the kind of talks I ever gave
at a crypto conference in 2013 or 14 was Bitcoin versus all coins. And me and a close friend,
we flipped a coin and who would take which side.
I took all coins and I think since then,
Bitcoin has grown from close to zero to two trillion in market cap
and all coins have grown from zero to two trillion market cap.
So we've both been right.
But for me, looking ahead, it's, look, I'll always,
I've been a crypto and Bitcoin believer from the very beginning.
I'll always be and always proudly carry the Bitcoin flag.
But there are certain things that we're in me.
We don't need 10, 50, 100 treasury companies in every market.
We do need, and we'll see hundreds of companies put crypto on their balance sheet.
I think one of the key things there is, like, especially as you look outside of the U.S.,
a lot of companies in all different markets around the world, both public and private,
have realized the benefit of holding U.S. dollars or euros on their balance sheet instead of their local currency.
Well, thanks to Saylor and a number of other of us who are out there talking about the merits of Bitcoin,
people have realized, well, it's actually maybe better to hold Bitcoin on our balance sheet than
than U.S. dollars or any other fiat currency.
So now, as we look at some of the other crypto assets,
not every crypto asset is the same, right?
There are very, very few that actually have passed and surpassed
and outperformed Bitcoin or even kind of kept,
almost like kept track with Bitcoin over the last couple of years.
And, you know, for me, one of the very special ones
that I've, you know, followed for a long time and been involved with is B&B.
And, you know, there's a number of reasons why.
So B&B was started in 2017.
and it's ICO back then, and, you know, it was tied to Binance Exchange, which, as you know,
many people have by far the largest exchange in the entire crypto market.
And yet, to me, it's a story that's still not very well known in the U.S.
And so I like to find things, you know, I just, this is how I pursue things as an investor
and kind of buyside mentality myself.
I like to find things that are, you know, underappreciated, underknown, underexposed,
and, you know, also massive and things that I would want to hold on to for a long time.
So for me, having exposure to the largest exchange, the entire space that is under, kind of
unknown, and at the same time, is growing massively.
So B&B is one of the few coins that actually outperformed Bitcoin.
And then even since we started this company, we're starting the Treasury strategy at BNC,
BNB, I think, is outperformed by about 10 to 15%.
So I've had a couple of friends that have pointed that out to me.
Yeah, it's outperformed.
and kind of, as you hinted at, it's been one of those persona non-grata assets in the United States.
Like, you know, you couldn't even, I could be wrong, but I feel like you couldn't even get B&B on Binance U.S.
Back then, I don't think so.
And then if you could only, I mean, you probably see this more than anyone.
If you could imagine just how every time I see a chart or when people are talking about crypto assets or comparing it, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Salon.
Bitcoin, XRP, Salana, right?
And people just completely overlook it.
And they also often mention, you know, a lot of things, Alco Rans, Sue, all these ones that
are much, much smaller and much less kind of important to the crypto ecosystem.
And so, you know, a key thing I came up with and right.
And like now, you know, gold was breaking out to new highs this week.
Bitcoin, I think, is 10, 12% off the highs.
And, you know, I have as much conviction as ever that Bitcoin has won this gold narrative,
digital gold and we'll pass gold at some point. So that means passing a 15, 20 trillion market cap.
Ethereum's caught a lot of momentum in the market in the last couple of months where it's this
digital oil, right? And it's looked at it as, you know, not quite like gold, not a store of value,
more of a commodity. And now people have gotten very excited about the stable coin theme with the
circle IPO. But it's, I think people don't understand what B&B is. And BNB has a similar stable coin
theme to Ethereum, but it also has and touches every part of the crypto market, right, trading and
defy and decentralized exchanges and NFTs and every part of it. And it's sort of this digital
infrastructure equity. And so to me, you know, it's one of the few things that when I look at the
crypto market that I want to have exposure to for the long term. And a lot of us just can't get
exposure to it directly. Right. Yeah. And that it's not listed on Coinbase. There's no other way to
get exposure to it in the U.S. markets. And so I like, you know, when things are going back to when
I started my career in the crypto space, the first thing I tried to do was start the ATF and also
create total return swaps. And what that is, that's a kind of derivative instrument to give
exposure to difficult to access investments. So I was trading at UBS and Millennium. I was investing
into the Korean market and Indonesia and India and all these difficult to access markets. But I would do
total return swap with a bank in Hong Kong or London. So they would make it the biggest banks,
Goldman UBS, would enable me to get that exposure. So what I tried to do at Solid X was do that
for Bitcoin and Ethereum. And now what I'm trying to do is, you know, utilize this, this trend
and opportunity within the public markets to give people exposure to this really unique and
special asset in BNB. So outside of the fact that you're giving exposure to an asset that
generally people can't get exposure to, the Treasury company model, there's an expectation that
you're going to somehow beat that asset, right?
So at least certainly with all of the other ones.
But Bitcoin, Ethereum, you can just buy Bitcoin Ethereum.
So they really have to beat it, right?
Because this isn't just exposure.
But in this case, structurally, how does this work?
How do you, you know, I'm sure you get the questions on how much BNB per share
are we going to own and all of that?
Like, how does that actually work?
How do you make sure that that, that, you know, you don't trade a discount?
things like that. Absolutely. So I think it's really two components to that. Now we we haven't
kind of put out all of the details and plans on on that, but it's something that we will be providing
more and more disclosure and kind of going forward. I was just on the phone prior to this with Simon
from Metaplanet. And I think they've really, they're one of the best at putting out metrics
on, you know, the Bitcoin per share and everything that they're doing and kind of also putting
out a cadence of their buying plan and telling people what they're going to buy and then going
out and buying it. So I think we're looking at, you know, we know we're very well connected
in the space. We know a lot of the CEOs and teams behind many of the other treasury companies.
So we're, you know, in conversations and looking at the right way to kind of reveal some of
those plans to the market. And then similarly, like, or separately, you know, the other thing
is just that compared to these other assets, there's a lot more opportunity within the B&B,
ecosystem towards, you know, and just as an asset, it has this utility and scarcity value
where there is a deflationary aspect to it. And that makes it very different than really
any of the other large crypto assets. Makes a lot of sense. So what are those specific things
that you can do maybe for people who don't know in the B&B ecosystem? I mean, people have seen
the Ethereum treasury company pitches where they're like, yeah, we could just stake it three and a half
percent. We can go into Avey. We can go into DFI. We can do all these things to earn a relatively
safe yield outside of maybe, you know, smart contract risk or the asset dropping 50%.
Well, that's one of the key things here.
With a lot of these, you know, you have kind of very big differentiation in the teams that
are running these, right, where you have some that are doing a very good job of being on TV
and promoting the stories and getting a lot of hype, right?
And then you have others that really are the founders of these different projects and
crypto ecosystems and, you know, really understand all the nuances of them.
At the same time, there's a lot of people that, you know, don't understand the regulatory side of it
and how to actually deal with the markets and financial markets infrastructure.
So I think, you know, one of the Ethereum Treasury companies, you know,
was kind of surprised to see with the liquid staking that actually that's different than holding
the assets directly.
And for accounting rules, they had to mark a significant loss because they had to mark down
the value of those assets, right?
Now, again, it's just an accounting loss, but it still is an on-paper loss that they had to recognize.
You know, and so I think that's where, you know, when I look at it as a treasury company and really as an investor in treasure companies, you know, the teams are being paid, right, and you're kind of empowering the management teams to execute on their plans to accumulate more of the underlying asset.
You're not paying them to take risks on losing the asset.
So even something is, you know, as I was talking to some other teams before, and they were talking about doing something, a strategy where they sell calls, right?
Now, as a derivative or option on it, well, you're not paid to take that risk in selling a call because if the market price of that asset shoots up, if Bitcoin shoots up to 200,000 or B&B shoots to 2,000 and you had sold calls and you're taken out of the position, right, you can't have your treasury assets go down, right?
And so I think it's a tricky thing that not, what I'd say is, you know, as I meet and a lot of other management teams of different treasury companies, you know, I really try to think about who are the teams that I would bet on to execute on the strategy over a multi-year view, not just play into this like couple-month hype cycle.
I mean, which is interesting because then you're really looking at a team with talented investors.
And it kind of, and I've called a lot of these, they're basically just hedge funds, right?
A lot of them are just, it's a hedge fund and you've got to choose the right to, nothing wrong with that if they say it.
But you're looking at people who you think are more talented and can beat the market better than others.
I actually see them.
It's a funny thing.
We'll come up with what I love about the crypto market and we kind of force, we create a lot of chaos.
And I do personally, I know.
But we kind of force a lot of new terms and innovation on regulators, investors, VCs, lawyers, everybody.
And I kind of see these, they're a little bit more closer to mutual funds, like actively
managed mutual funds than hedge funds.
Now, personally, what of the things I love about this is like, really, in order to make money,
everyone has to make money.
It's a very beautiful strategy.
And like, I look at it like, you know, I'm hoping to play my part and, you know, with BNC,
but also, you know, with being involved with some of these other treasury companies and
investing in them at helping the space grow.
I've always, the kind of approach I've taken is, you know, I love the crypto market.
I'm a crypto geek and futurist first and, you know, it will always be.
And I look at it like it's the most beautiful non-zero-sum game the world's ever seen, right?
So everybody who's trying to do stuff in this space, I mean, I look at what you're doing and building your media empire, right?
And you've been playing, look, all of these things are coming at the crypto angle from multiple ways and helping, you know, caution people and helping people kind of step into the crypto space in whatever ways comfortable for them, for investors.
in it through direct access, through public market vehicles, you know, protecting them,
understanding the Treasury is not just buying into the hype, but trying to buy into and understand
kind of the potential of them. And then also getting jobs in the space, starting new companies.
You know, I think I'm super collaborative across, like, one of my friends who runs FG Nexus.
She posted a picture of us of the New York Stock Exchange yesterday and, you know, like Ethereum and B&B
communities coming together. So I played to support all of these. And I actually know
that, you know, what played out recently with some of the Ethereum treasury companies and now
there's a couple of Solano ones that have launched, there's actually, and I fully expect
there's going to be quite a few more companies that launched focused entirely on B&B as a
treasury asset. Yeah. So I guess from the perspective of myself, the viewers, your average person,
how do you differentiate between these? How do you evaluate what treasury company you might
want to buy. How do you evaluate whether you should buy Treasury company stock or the underlying
asset directly if you have actually that option? Sure. So, you know, we're starting to see
there's number of dashboards or like look for, there's people putting out information. Blockworks
has put out a Treasury dashboard and they're, you know, things are moving so quickly. So it's hard
to have all the information be perfectly accurate. But, you know, I would really caution people from
buying into anything after the hype and announced or into the initial hype and announcement right we were
talking about this on your show the other day of like and there was just another one this week the
world coin one and i followed the world coin story very well i think you know tom lee investing in it
and being becoming a part of it like i'm i'm a bit surprised um and my partner's actually at 10x
we're almost we were talking to the world coin teams and involved and i know a lot of world coin investors
and everything. I actually had been telling people that in order for it to do well,
they really needed Sam Altman to get involved and put fresh cash in. And ultimately, they found
Tom Lee. So they went a different direction, but they got the result they wanted for now.
But even now, the first thing I'm doing is trying to caution everybody from, you know,
just buying into something because of the names involved and not looking at, you know,
I think the underlying price was around $1.50. And it was trading up to $40, $60. Right.
So in my mind, you know, again, people don't understand that you would need a world coin price.
They didn't even buy the world coin yet, but you need a world coin price of, you know, $30, $40 to kind of justify that price level that you're buying into it, right?
So I'd say wait until after the hype, you know, really get to know the teams, look into, you know, buying at some reasonable multiple to Mnev and not chasing it.
So clearly there's the hype cycle at the very beginning.
a lot of these will wash out. I think everybody agrees with that. So let's talk about what these
look like long term. Let me even ask you more specifically, BNC, like what's the plan for this long term?
What's it look like in two, three, five, ten years as opposed to everyone's just looking at two, three,
five weeks on these things right now. Sure. So, you know, I think this is where it's a little tricky
what I can say and can't say, but I'll paint a little bit of a vision here. We put out this
kind of ambitious target just to accumulate 1% of the total of BNB supply.
That's a starting point.
And I think, you know, other treasury companies who have put out similar goals as they've
executed on it, they've managed to kind of exceed and raise their ambitions.
So, you know, I'll tell you, I'm very ambitious and my team is.
And then, you know, over time, as you get to and you accumulate kind of larger positions
in these ecosystems, then you really get to.
kind of get involved with more things and help drive the direction of the of the ecosystems.
Like, you know, I was at the New York Stock Exchange a couple weeks ago for a demo day of teams
building on B&B. And then I think they had, it just had its five-year anniversary as B&B chain.
And, you know, they've done events in markets all over the world, back-to-back five days
in a row. And, you know, I think there's a lot of activity. So what you'll start to see with
some of the Treasury companies, actually, as we were talking about, like with a micro strategy,
When you get to a certain level of scale, all of a sudden, these treasury companies start to become systematically important in their own ecosystems and more broadly.
And so you start to see them as kind of like something in between endowments and Berkshire-like holding companies that really can actually play an important part in the next wave of growth in each of those ecosystems.
You'll be interested to know that as we're speaking, BNB made a new all-time high.
there we go you know i i think it hit 904 9402 depends on the exchange you're looking at but right around
904 so clearly uh the market gods agree with all the things that you're generally saying here
uh and think that it's the right asset for for this plan and maybe then what do you see the entire
treasury land i know we're kind of against time but the entire treasury landscape as moving forward
Do you think that it does consolidate into a few big players inside each one?
Like, should BNC have a whole bunch of extra capital aside for the other five B&B ones that
completely fail so that you can just buy up their treasuries when they're at a discount?
You know, I mean, listen, there was, I'm, like I said, I've been in the space a long time.
I'm super collaborative.
I want everyone to succeed, you know, everyone who is out there.
And every time, like I saw Faraday Future announced that they're putting some money into B&B.
And everyone that's out there doing it, I want to collaborate with them and support.
help, you know, I'm out here telling the story and there's, there's a lot of people out there.
I'm following in CZ's footsteps who's been telling the story and carrying the BNB flag, you know,
and the Bitcoin flag as well, better than almost anyone in the space.
And so, you know, for me, I think when I've seen some recently some treasuries trading below their MNF
or kind of investor in me, the first thing I'm thinking is, all right, at what point are they
going to buy it back or at a certain point do I need to go raise capital to come in and buy it?
because I'm kind of, I'm compelled.
If I ever see something, you know, that's worth a dollar selling for below a dollar,
I want to go and, you know, do what I can to buy that and accumulate it.
Now, some will be trickier than others, but absolutely.
Actually, I think even strive with Vivek Ramoswamy, he put out something interesting.
They were one of the first ones to make a comment that they would buy up companies
that were trading at negative net cash.
So even just one sitting in the stock market, if you have a company that has 50,
million of cash, but enterprise value of 25, 30 million, why not go in buy that and then put the
balance into crypto? Yeah, it makes a ton of sense. So listen, we kind of ran out of time fast,
but anything else I might have missed? No, I mean, listen, I can tell this is such a great
conversation. I'm so happy to be here with you, that the fact that my eyes have been glued to,
you know, screens and markets and been working 24-7. And so the fact that I was with you during
an all-time high is a nice moment and, you know, to many more all-time highs ahead.
Yeah, it's interesting.
The market is kind of pushing so hard.
Bitcoin's at like $13,000,5, which is the highest.
It's actually been kind of throughout this little correction for the past few weeks.
And maybe it's PPI.
I don't know.
You know, I got one question for you.
I put you on the spot.
So I know we're talking a lot about interest rates.
I liked your take about how, look, sometimes with interest rates getting cut,
it's not always a positive thing.
Now, again, we like to be hopeful.
I'm very optimistic.
What's your prediction for the interest rate?
cuts or not. Maybe down than up. I really don't know, but I think that if you look historically,
if jobs are really this bad, you are making the argument that the Fed rate cuts are coming to
fix something from breaking. That's not usually the best environment. You know, I think that people
were looking for the Fed to cut before there was bad news and maybe not happening now. I thought
we just found out that the jobs numbers are just a picture that's painted and then gets
painted over and they're not really easy. So if everybody accepts that the job numbers are fake,
it's irrelevant. But when you revise down 911,000 more jobs on last year, you know that the
entire job market is strong narrative was Fugazi for another year, even though they did the same
thing a year before. And now if you have inflation coming down, I think it gives him a lot more
cover to cut. Actually, so yesterday, I would have said, I would have said bad for markets yesterday.
and now if inflation is actually coming down,
I say maybe a little bit better for market.
So every day's data changes the opinion.
That's a complicated game we're playing.
Actually, one thing I want to put out there
just because I've been struggling with this
and I need some help to find it.
And maybe your readers or watchers can help with this.
So one of the most fascinating things,
if I go back to when I was at Millennium,
so it's over 10 years ago,
that I saw it was actually historically,
whenever the Fed cuts rates or rates go back
to this historical medium between like,
three and five percent is super bullish. So when interest rates are above and they go back towards
three percent, it's very bullish. When they go below three percent, it's bad. Or when they're very
low and the market's so hot that they start kind of raising rates back to that three, four percent
level is bullish, but when they go above, it gets bearish. But I haven't been able to find that
anywhere. That makes a lot of sense, actually. I didn't really consider that, but that there could be
basically a Goldie Rocks range that you're trying to reset to where markets do particularly well.
and it can't be considered a panic
or that something's broken
unless you're outside that range.
Right.
I like that.
It gave me something to definitely think about here.
David, man, everybody can give David a follow, obviously, on X
and highly encourage you to check out everything that BNC is doing.
It's a really compelling case
because some of these I just yawn, you know, when I see them.
But there was actually a lot of time
where I personally wanted to trade B&B and couldn't.
You know, so it's really compelling, especially from that perspective and obviously having someone like you who's been in the market for so long building these things behind it when we talk about the team should give a lot of confidence.
So I hope everybody gives you a follow and checks it out.
Thank you so much for coming on, man.
I really appreciate it.
Of course.
Thanks for having me, Scott.
And keep rocking on your end, too.
All right, man.
Great.
I'm sure we're going to have David back a lot of times, hopefully, in the future is really great conversation and has so much insight on the topics that we just.
discuss. Another person who has a whole lot of insight is Christopher Inks, and we know that his
mic's going to work because it just works now. That's right. It just works, right?
It's just working now. How are you doing, man? I'm good. And you showed up at the right time.
If we're going to have a chart day, we finally get to have one where appears a bunch of things
are breaking out. David and I obviously just talking about the fact that B&B made an all-time high. We
couldn't, we didn't plan that. You know, I didn't say, hey, David, we're going to have you on an all-time
high moment. So that was very cool. And Bitcoin, you know, looking strong through this kind of
obvious 112 area that it's been struggling with. Yeah, exactly. I mean, as far as B&B goes,
that's the one, you know, you were with us back then, TWC when it was launched. And I completely
missed the launch on that. But, you know, yeah, well, you know, and after that first, I've been really
a big fan of it. I was the guy, you know, when it was pulling back there toward that 180 level and
was like going to free fall through if it fell through and everybody was like oh my god it's the end
b and you know binance is having all these issues with the u.s and and you know cz going to jail prison
and all this you know and everybody's like oh it's dead i was like no wouldn't it be a shame i post
that on twitter i said wouldn't it be a shame if it just held here and took off and it did and
you know i've been a big proponent of it um as it continues to go higher so you know i like them
i like link i like saul those have been the three that i've been pretty consistent on but um
You know, Bitcoin, man.
This is kind of the area I'm looking to get through.
I need a daily candle.
I need a daily candle to break out and close impulsively above this 113-229.
That's that monthly pivot.
If we can get that, it suggests the bottom is probably in.
We want further breakout above 117, 440 and a half to kind of add confidence to this correction being over.
And, you know, locally here, I've got this potentially as a,
one and a two is a flat here.
And that gives us a minimal of five waves up around 118, 841.
So that'll get us above that area there.
So I could see basically a move kind of like this.
As long as we can get this continuation through today,
get maybe like a move up to that R1 pivot,
back down here to the pivot,
and then a takeoff there up through into a new all-time high.
So, you know, we'll see if we get it.
I'm cautiously optimistic this morning.
I do like the setup here.
I like the follow-throughs so far after PPI was released.
And so, yeah, you know, it's just can we do this?
You know, we get that, you know, multiple hits there.
So we are breaking out above it.
Technically, coming off the swing high here,
we've got this bearish market structure.
And we did break out now above that last lower high there.
So again, a lot of things happening,
a lot of different ways you can look at this.
technically, I mean, it looks like the setup's good.
It looks like we may potentially get that breakout.
We'll just have to see how this day ends.
And, you know, when Bitcoin's good, everybody's happy.
Everything else seems to do pretty all right as well.
Funny how that works.
Amazing, isn't it?
Let me see here.
Yeah, what else you're looking at in contact?
I mean, if we get a nice Bitcoin breakout here,
and by the way, even on this little breakout, I mean, it's not a big move,
but Bitcoin dominance is still kind of flat.
So Alts are keeping up at least.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, total three was up to last night, up to like 1.08 trillion.
So it continues to, you know, to push higher.
Here we've got Ethereum.
We've had this like this range here sitting on top of the monthly pivot for a while now.
And, you know, it looks like we've got a one and a two here.
And we're starting to get a breakout through this kind of descending resistance area.
I'm really looking for a daily candle to break out and close above this 4498,
basically 4,500 area.
And I think if we can get that, that'll probably signal that that low is in.
We can look higher.
So based off this here being a 1 and a 2, I've got minimum expected wave 3 target at 58, 18, basically,
and wave 5 up there at 6275.
That isn't the top or anything, but for this particular set of waves coming off here.
that would give us minimally five-off.
Now, it could also go higher than that, of course.
But I'm really kind of looking at that as this kind of next move up here through it.
So, you know, like you said, you know, Bitcoin do this thing.
Bitcoin dominant is still kind of flat.
Alts are still moving.
So as we see it, we'll see it right here with Ethereum.
I've got XRP here for your XRP Army.
I know you've got such a huge, big, you know, a group of fans from XRP that watch.
Wow.
Yeah, so we've got this great-looking range right here.
This looks like a spring down here on a potential re-accumulation.
Again, we're trying to break through that monthly pivot.
We do have this descending resistance we're coming up above.
So it's looking pretty good at this point.
Breaking out above $3.38.
And a quarter of a cent there, 3.3825 is going to add confidence to this overall
correction being completed here
and that'll give us a pattern target
next step up here probably around $4.42.5 cents or so
so XRP really kind of
setting up for some potential move but again
we do want to see some follow through here
and then we got Link
and Link
looking a bit like Ethereum there with the pullback
to that monthly pivot
to getting that break out there
above that descending resistance
looks like it's ready it wants to go
I would want to see, to add some confidence to this, like the other ones there.
I would want to see a breakout above, let me see here.
You know what?
Yeah, let's do this one right here.
Let's say we are breaking out right here.
So we'll say this one right here, this $26 area.
If we can get that, that should indicate the low is in.
And we're heading up here.
Pattern target is $32.46.
sense. So that would be the next kind of move up I would look for on that one. And so you're seeing a
similar thing across a lot of halts. They're looking, you know, similarly either breaking up
through these pivots, these monthly pivots, and a lot of them with some real kind of impulsiveness,
large candles, large spikes of volume, really kind of getting through there. Or they're finding,
you know, like these where they're finding support on those pivots. And, you know, I like to see that.
When we're looking at alts, when I'm seeing a lot of the alts kind of looking that way where they're finding support around there and or head drop below it and they're really kind of busting their way up through it, it usually sets up a good run to come up.
So, you know, as I'm looking there and with Bitcoin continuing to do its thing, you know, I'm feeling, feeling pretty good at the moment.
So, but we still need.
We still need the follow through, right?
I mean, I can feel good all I want, but unless price actually gives us a bit of follow through, you know, we're just going to be sitting there going, dang it.
It can't do it.
It hasn't broken through yet.
Yeah, so that's a nice candle today, almost a 14,000 now.
So, but yeah, you know, we were up at, where were we yesterday.
We got up to 13, 3 and all the way back down to close, you know, almost 11.
So yeah, yeah, really got to see this confirmation, as you said.
Yeah, and it's still going right here.
It's up since we just talked about a minute ago, it's still pushing up higher there.
So, you know, definitely what we want to see.
You know, I've been talking about this structure for a bit, this reaccumulation here
on top of re-accumulation.
So you've got your initial re-accumulation here.
You know, according to Wyckoff, you know,
you get this back up the edge of the creek here,
which is this whole thing.
And that just becomes a secondary re-accumulation
sitting on top of your other re-accumulation.
And so looking like maybe a spring down here,
we're getting some movement back up.
You know, it's looking, it's looking constructive.
So just need the follow through.
Yeah.
Anything else on your radar as you're looking
at all this um no just kind of look the same so we got to just see what bitcoin does now it's over
one 14 now looking pretty good it's definitely the highest it's been since it dropped uh in like
the 25th of august so we're you know a couple weeks into that little kind of correction below
112 and we're you know getting there now yeah exactly i think people be scared to get in though
i think a lot of people unfortunately you know it is it's the tail of what it always is you know
in the markets uh people get scared down at the bottoms
when they should be paying attention and potentially building positions, you know,
and they get all excited at the top.
They want to buy that breakout, you know, and of course, as you know, that's some I teach
we don't do, right?
You build your positions down that you get in lower.
And then when it gets up to that breakout, you let everybody else kind of, you know,
FOMO in and carry you higher.
And you've got a lot of cushion in there because you did get that position down lower.
So, you know, that's the way you should be looking if you're trading.
If you're buying breakout, you're probably a lot of.
a lot less effective than you want to be.
And so, you know, if you can learn to understand these structures and get in down in the lower
ends of it, it gives you a lot of room for whatever happens at the breakout, whether a breakout goes,
whether it breaks out, pulls back and goes, whether it just breaks out, fake, comes back in.
You've got a lot of time to think you don't have to worry about stressing out and being,
you know, worry about foam on all the other crazy stuff that goes in on it.
You got it.
All right.
Well, we're going to see how the day ends.
I'm going to hope that it just continues to at least stay here, go higher.
It will look a lot different if we do.
Oh, I think closing above this area.
So guys give Texas West Capital, TX, West Capital next, a follow.
Check out everything he's got going on.
And otherwise, we'll see you guys next week.
Thanks, Chris.
Thanks, man.
Let's go.
