NEAR Protocol price prediction: what crypto YouTubers say

“So if it's a bull pennant. It needs to break out. And this. One hourly candle. And then the technical target. Would be around $5.74.”

“I think it's most likely that we'll be able to get stability here, right? So that's $6.”

“near is going to try to blast through $6, $6.50 in my opinion by next week.”

“We could even get to the $7.9 level right here for Nier in the month of October, as we continue to remain very, very bullish on Nier.”

“I do think NEAR is a short. Okay. I do think NEAR is a short as I told because it's now just retesting the previous support as resistance.”

“I still have a ton of confidence that it will 100% bounce back.”

“near protocol seeing that it's broken above the velocity that is well beyond a lot of these different larger altcoins i'm probably probably going to be getting real aggressive at this uh three dollar fifty three dollar sixty cent range and honestly i could probably start this week right yeah i was gonna say i mean this might be i'm not saying it can't go lower but an exploit like this kind of reminds me of when zcash had that little exploit right and people had an opportunity there and then it was no looking back after that you know not real it's just kind of reminds me of that i'm not saying it's the same thing but uh near the more i read into it the more i look into it the more i study the team and you know the actual function and what they're going to be able what this project's going to be able to do the more bullish on it i get like it's i i almost have to like hedge my bullishness because right now like again and i don't know risk reward after this most recent pump i'm not saying like on the micro you know like you said you might get some of those levels you're looking for for entry but it really does look like it's going to be one of the darlings of this bull market and has a lot of upside to it uh like you said the inflation coming down you know potentially uh i want to you know like they could be moving you know it's just moving a very positive direction every time i look at it it looks stronger and stronger to me i'm well allocated to it but uh every time i read i'm like man should i put more in and um so yeah it's one of to me so far there's other things i like but this one you know maybe it's just recency bias but uh and you know the fact that it's performed very well for me but um when i look at the world we're moving into and the way near intents really work you know it could be just a killer product so well and someone uh mentioned don't you know that ai is gone it's no longer ai and super i mean i meant i said that at the top of the show it's just like am i living in the reality right now we white house accord on super intelligence in this release and they didn't even spell united correctly like this is our government here that it's like a shot across the bow on maybe they used ai to write this document i don't know but all i'm asking for is a d in the united states right that's not just want just give you the d that's all you want that's all i want it's just one d so you know super intelligence i guess we're going to have to start calling it here uh but near protocol is you know one of the ones at the top of my mind when it comes to the next one to add to my position and did you did you put out the price prediction one yet or is that has that gone out yes i did yes we've got more we've got a lot more content because again we've been digging into near recently uh so we've got more i think another near one coming out too so yeah i mean some of the projections coming out not even from us like i thought i was you know on the bullish side saying you know that it could 10x you know you get a 20 30 near but there's people out there throwing really high price predictions right i think it was like 100 200 or something like that there was a it was definitely you know triple digits so i can't making me look like very like a bear saying 30 near so which was wild i've never seen i haven't seen many people look make tj look bearish um that's a tough thing to accomplish there look at this raccoon coming after me again all right so near is number 17 uh if you dis include stable coins which i do it's number 15 in terms of the largest crypto project from top 100 on the world so where my price predictions come from is from two different frames of thought and i did do a weekend video because i'm actually starting to lean towards the more bullish case of things right now so my general thought is that you know in a whatever you know business as usual type bull market this market cap instead of a 2.8 trillion which is what is this thing doing we're at a 2.8 trillion dollar market cap right now and in my base case scenario for an average you know kind of fun for sure bull market i think that we're going to be breaching to the 6 to 8 trillion dollar level and that's just with nothing special happening but i'm having to start to lean towards that 10 to 15 trillion dollar market cap target because of how brazen and how fast the sec and the stock indice industry is moving towards tokenization right i'm having to take all of this this new surprising stance that the sec is having towards tokenizing the entire stock market and put that into my game theory play so in a basic uh you know bull market type scenario where near holds its position maybe moves up a point or two in terms of the top 100 this project comes in you know around 20 20 in a base case scenario and 40 45 in the more bullish case scenario if it doesn't even take over stellar if it doesn't even take over cardano if it just holds its position within the top 20 where it's at right now so i am starting to lean towards the more bullish side of things just seeing all this information come out uh we got someone asking for a price prediction on aerodrome this run we've done some looking at the aerodrome price predictions and i will give you just a recap i remember what it was so on the most bullish case the 15 trillion dollar accomplishment for this bull market aerodrome can absolutely drive to eight to eight and a half dollars a token which i think it's at like you know 80 cents or something like that 70 cents right now really good upside for aerodrome i feel like in that story that we just highlighted with visa and lloyds this is integrating with arc and arc base chain and as i said at the beginning when we look at base chain you have to understand that it's made up of two main components which is really the aerodrome infrastructure and the lending side morfo so those are some projects that are going to probably benefit now i was talking to the cardones on a show last night we're talking about robin hood and coinbase competing over the course of the next few years i think the competition that's going to be taking place between these two uh trading locations is going to be very very bullish for our bags if you're connected to that competition this means that mega mega billionaires are going to be fighting for your attention in a five-year time frame that the u.s government and the sec sec are stamping for american crypto innovation right this is a very very bullish window to take advantage of so um there's a lot of crypto projects on my mind that being said i'm still liking near near near and aerodrome are the and i already have reallocated back into aerodrome a couple weeks back but near is next on my my target list here um you know my wife wants to buy i think she said she wants to buy quant i think that's what she said she wants to buy quant so i'm trying to be like hold on just wait for a pullback you know just a little bit there's a good reason why though tj there's a good reason why okay we covered we covered this on the basement years and years ago quant has layers of privacy and secrecy availability for traditional banking infrastructure to take advantage of we always talk about like colonel sanders doesn't want his secret sauce to be known by everyone if he goes on chain and he doesn't want it completely transparent um quant offers that to a degree for the banking infrastructure we got a super chat here what are those what has less tokens than btc and has a use case let's go uh so i mean yeah like if i don't know if you're trying to imply bitcoin doesn't have a use case but uh protecting and storing value is a pretty pretty good use case to me um yeah i mean i i we obviously quant has been a topic of conversation with the recent pump lately and to me the reason and i've you guys if you've watched the show a long time you've heard me say this before but the reason i've traditionally stayed away from the uh the whole iso 222 and payments and you know coins that are trying to be money per se is there's so much politics involved with that uh so my my one caution on anybody that's looking at quant now like it just pumped 500 percent generally not a good time to be getting into a project just very generally um and i've just seen a lot of those i'm ready to yolo into this what are you talking about i want to buy this this is like a perfect place to buy what do you um and so you know like i don't know like it's hard to it's hard to you know hbar is another one of these or they're just hard to predict they have these big moves not saying and again i'm not saying it can't do well i'm not saying you know it may you know from my understanding with the big part this was designated as potential chain to uh for the sterling sterling you know the stable coin the pound stable coin now i don't know if that's true or not that's just what i'm hearing so to me i don't have an edge with those i can't tell you why somebody would choose you know quant versus hbar versus xrp you know they you know they all kind of have you know we'll set xrp aside from it but a lot of them have technical uses but so do a lot of these other chains that exist so i try to that's why i like defy you know because i understand defy i can you know it's very easy to identify hey ave and morfo are winning in the lending game you know uniswap and aero are doing well when it comes to you know decentralized exchanges you know i can understand near i understand ai so i can as a user can create an edge and an understanding of like hey these are products that i use these are products that i like these are products that i've seen grow over time where a lot of these other ones you know if some you know if it's basically you're you're betting on your founder going to the right place or getting in with the right political party and so that's for me why i stay away from them just because i don't it's hard like i would have never you could have never pretty or at least i could have never predicted that 500 percent quant pump out of nowhere you know like how do you how do you profit off of that you would have had to hold it for how long in advance you know that's 1700 days um right and so it's like okay if i couldn't predict that in a way that i could profit now i don't even know like do you sell that do you do you buy that news you know like i don't i don't know you know so at this point yeah i'd at least wait wait for it to come back down towards that blue line or something like maybe at least the top of it but that's that's how i that's how i do it i look for an edge that i think i have i know something that the market doesn't and a lot of those payment coins i don't i can't seem to find that yeah chase the pump phase the dump crypto steve says that's damn yeah and i agree with this started on uh started on a weekend with low volume you know so a lot of times that can be that's kind of my point that those can be artificially created you know if somebody with enough money when volume's low on a weekend they can send that price pump up get everybody's attention get retail to come back and then maybe slow off slowly sell off into it i don't you know it's just too much manipulation i've seen too many you know i got too many scars you know i guess that's what it is for being in crypto for too long that if it you know to me there's very clear trends there's very obvious things that are moving consistently uh and i'm not going to go chasing a one-off for that you know like just because it had a 500 pump so well and just for the sake of my case with my wife wanting to get some of this you know if i'm looking down the barrel of a pump like this um a retracement is absolutely in store to some degree and the data that i have to work with is where the volume has happened and honestly it's a very thin volume sector but maybe being patient enough to see if you can get entry points under 200 bucks at this shelf at 170 makes more sense than just flying in blind here at the top end of this pump that just happened right so we buy low we sell high that's the goal here and yeah i mean god this is so insane tj to even try to map this thing out uh it looks like a meme coin and you know this almost feels like z cash z cash feels to me and don't sue me bro friend of the channel z cash it's more so like a thousand thirteen hundred winklevi associates with an ass load of money that all hammered one project make the price action advertise for itself and then try to keep the party going and it's working so far for z cash it's working so far for z cash so you know that is something that i keep in mind i like making money off of projects this has got some velocity when i see velocity start to pick up you know you perk my ears up for sure so um other things happening now in terms of bitcoin let's talk about just a little bit i am still i think i'm still in this trade here but i'm probably in danger where am i at here barely bouncing off barely bouncing off this level i got to keep an eye on this while i'm yapping but the treasury buybacks being announced today six billion dollars in treasury buybacks are coming down the pipe i was on a macroeconomic space with a lot of well-respected large names that said drew the treasury yield can't go up any higher it simply can't and i had to fight tooth and nail to get on the stage to just kind of correct people and it's insane the amount of people that these these these dudes these bros on the stage represent right these are literally some of them are financial advisors and overseeing tens about hundreds of millions of dollars saying it simply cannot go any higher the treasury yield can't do it so i had to literally walk through the history of the us treasury inflation rates federal reserve interventions the time frame that we're in right now is we've seen this before but we didn't have bitcoin in the early 80s this is a great unknown for crypto and that's kind of the exciting part is that cryptocurrency and the products of these different altcoin companies they can fractionalize liquidity and this is a variable that you you know i've talked about all the potential doom and gloom of you know 18 mortgage rates and all this stuff as a potential but the idea that we can tokenize a stock market tokenize these equities fractionally divide that value and get that value working for these companies so that they can diversify and have a different backstop than we did have available in the 1980s is a very interesting thing to look at and so these treasury buybacks they're going down today and i probably am going to try to consolidate this into a a broader video here sightbringer talking about the 5.3 percent yield on the 10 year is a credibility revolt and the fed cannot end it by hiking so there's a lot of crazy game theory going on in the world i would just say we're not guaranteed to win this in crypto and bitcoin but by god we got a good chance at being a huge piece of the fix of this liquidity crunch that's going on right now and this is you know going through that space and dealing with all these people that i felt like they should just go back to crypto school after hearing that i saw this article after me and tj talked about my my gripes and it was from john nostra today's critical question when answers are abundant does thinking becomes to become scarce right thinking is the new luxury i found this a very fascinating highlight to come across after we were talking tj i i mean it this will i don't even i don't know what it says but absolutely thinking will become scarce for sure when intelligence is commoditized especially critical thinking is going to be a very rare commodity that's my whole thesis for really the next generation how i intend to raise my daughter and any future kids uh critic creativity and critical thinking are going to be some of the most important skills you can have um you know whether you know creativity it can be creative thinking like thinking outside the box but it could also be like actual creativity and artistic and music and that sort of stuff too because you know basic knowledge and information stuff you used to have to read and study for uh are much less relevant not saying like reading is irrelevant but um reading and in retaining information is much less relevant today than it was even 15 years ago so but critical thinking problem solving logic uh all of that stuff will always matter game theory you know that sort of stuff i think is going to be where you need to focus education in the future when you mentioned music i caught my oldest daughter teaching my youngest daughter how to play piano last night and i melted it was the cutest thing that i had ever seen honestly you know family and and time with them and helping your children understand this new world because answers are going to be everywhere you're going to get the answer you're looking for out of ai you just got a prompt for it critical thinking going to be very important and that's what i try to provide to you guys there's a lot of channels out there that'll just regurgitate the title look at where projects have been and not really give you any reason why they could go there why they could fall um i really work hard to deliver that game theory forward looking in you know kind of ideas well and to bring it back to what we were talking about before with that space and the people you know the talking heads and crypto today i mean i feel like this is already playing out in crypto the average intelligence of somebody out there today giving information is far inferior to who was doing it in 2017 2016. um it's it's not even comparable i feel like now people like you say they get they find some narrative they find some tagline and they just say it over and over and over and over and over they find the one that it's like oh it's hard for people to challenge me on this so i'm just going to keep saying this and it's not really helping anybody you know like we have thoughts and opinions we may not get it right 100 of the time but our whole purpose is share our thought process with you and help you think through it for yourself that's the whole focus of school i know everybody would rather just tell them here's everything i'm doing which i do some of that but i'd much rather you learn to think through it for yourself that way you can use this skill for the rest of time and if you learn to analyze the crypto market and think through the logic and the rationale of this you're going to be well versed in other types of investing and decision making and business and all that stuff going forward yeah critical thinking allowed me to call benjamin cowen incorrect months ahead of time and now we're looking at what's largely being acknowledged as the bitcoin bottom months and months after i put this out this is the second video i had put out about it the first one was in like june this year um but you know make sure this is just a side note okay just to make people chill this is what i ate last night my mom's in town thank you incredible cook oh my god um and side note i'm gonna go back into charge i swear to god but i feel like a proud dad because my son had the option to go to the fair with his mom and eat a bunch of cotton candy and ride rides or take advantage of the last few days he's had off school to come hang out with dad at work and he chose dad over the fair so i feel pretty cool right now i'm kind of a big deal that's pretty awesome that's that i'm kind of a big deal kind of a big deal no that's awesome you know when you're kid when you're still your kid's hero that's that's what it's all about right yeah so we have the metabast story we got to cover this metabast says no user funds were hit in the validator security incident uh it says there's no evidence that user wallets or funds were affected in a security incident it's disclosed this week the incident did not leave metamask untouched though it hit the company's ethereum validator infrastructure which sits behind the staking product now here's what happened metamask reported the incident september 30th on october 1st it confirmed it had found no sign that customer accounts or assets were compromised one on-chain researcher found that an attacker diverted approximately 0.36 ethereum a huge amount into a rewards tied to 18 of the 19 effective validators around 17 000 validators are now exiting because of this breach together they hold around 523 000 eth now that is a number i actually care about metamask began exiting a subset of its ethereum validators as well working with these associated partners now right before this i had seen this news where joe lubin co-founder of uh ethereum and the man behind metamask transferred 133 000 ethereum to a brand new wallet right this is news from five from yesterday tj you had a really good and i don't even want to steal your insight on this because i've just seen the two uh things happening in congruence what do you think's going on yeah probably not a coincidence yeah i mean obviously like you said he's you know consensus is behind metamask um you know and there's the very likely that he's an you know a validator of some sort and they got to backstop this thing so um you know this was obvious this is a much larger you know 350 million is no small amount so more news is you know they had i think they had an announcement it might have been more or less what you just covered um you know that basically they're responding to security incident identified no immediate threats to metamask wallets as a precaution they're proactively exiting and affected validators so this is um there this is in my opinion related you know they're if they're exiting validators they're probably spinning up new validators maybe that's what these funds are maybe this is to backstop a hole something like that the one thing i do appreciate is back in the day you know stuff like this would happen and it would just wipe out retail they have absolutely gotten better at um identifying and backstopping these things to where you know it's not affecting retail yeah i mean this is this is something to be actively monitoring metamask one of the biggest you know wallet providers out there now it seems like it hasn't affected it's affected validators and staking and all that sort of stuff but i haven't really dug into it yet but it uh you know it's definitely worth monitoring yeah there's there's been some updates about the situation and i do feel like spending a little bit of time just to give you guys uh the info of what i've seen because i know there's going to be some concerns and i was following this andy fellow who's been pretty tied into this yeah he's great sources are telling him to expect a small restate ethereum unwind unless major negative news hits the wire and to take proactive measures across all restaked ethereum positions with exposure to lido in particular hoping for the best but it seems to be wise to be proactive here just good advice in general right let it sort itself out and protect your funds and thankfully we didn't see much of a negative push on ethereum while this news released which is a good sign as well uh something a little bit more interesting is the ethereum to bitcoin pairing has fallen out of that ascending channel that i've been following for a few months now and so when i'm looking at this is on the four-hour time frame let's look at it on a larger time frame it is taking a little bit of a moment of breath here at the point of control this is the macro point of control for the ethereum valued in bitcoin pairing the money flow side is in kind of that coiling scenario and i highlighted this is the likelihood last week where you get that slight initial first push and you start coiling what we really want to see is a shallow red money flow and the development of that coiling pattern i am watching this pretty closely right we've already had some major major moves in all coins things are going to get bananas nuts silly for the altcoin sector if we see even a lower high push up to this level of about i think that comes in around uh 0.06 right on ethereum valued in bitcoin that's this low this zone right here near to 40 is child's play um in a general upswing for bitcoin in this bull market now i'm watching this pairing very closely because this is why so many people have given up on all coins and many many bitcoin maxis have been born and honestly being a bitcoin maxi doesn't make you poor long term like i don't think i don't try to throw shade on anyone that's trying to outpace inflation with either bitcoin or altcoins because i want everyone uh you know to be able to provide for the family to outpace inflation e uh eth chart looks really really good for real yeah i mean the ethereum chart the ethereum chart coiling up and building this level of kind of pent-up aggression this amount of volume at 2600 it's already done kind of an initial snap crash down to 26 flat this is on the daily time frame i mean this thing been very sleepy since that crazy crazy feeling move um you know where this is i'm not leaving the potential of a retest at the 2500 mark but it's more than likely if we do see that washout it's going to bounce off that poc so that's actually kind of an interesting trade idea i'm i'm just going to go ahead and mark that out right now and i'm always looking at a bunch of different stuff so actually i kind of got it already mapped out in terms of spot but i could feel something like this you know i could feel something like this leave some room and this could be more of a longer term trade of looking towards at around 3300 mark right lower leverage bigger margin longer term hold you know because it could take you a few weeks maybe a week or two to get there but i'm going to leave this one in the back burner just in case we do see that slight pullback now one of the projects in the uh crypto sector that's pulling back a little bit more than most in the larger market cap realm is xrp ripple has unlocked a billion xrp tokens from its escrow at october start and usually this ends up with a dump so ripple performed its scheduled monthly release of 1 billion xrp tokens from that account uh this is actually from whale alert that reported the transaction saw that billion token move and now this is 400 million uh jesus 400 million that's that's a lot of money is this am i reading this the right way am i crazy that's 400 million xrp tokens 600 billion or 600 million dollars holy god okay um xrp is like a 60 70 billion dollar market cap so this actually might cause let's go look at the xrp chart let's go look at the xrp chart right now it's not showing much sign of distress from this so far this on the two-week time frame let's kind of zoom in and see what this is looking a little slopey this is like that secret service concern of the slopey roof right here and this is the 50 sma on the four-hour time frame acting as a glass ceiling here um as you guys know i am unfortunately financially tied to xrp success at this point my proxy of my family's doing be careful of the women in your life and honestly you know i gotta be careful she's probably gonna hurt me when i get home um she's actually probably gonna make some money you know both of them bottom blasted you know dollar xrp so i'm not mad about it this xrp escrow release and if we see a little bit i mean it's very reasonable to be looking for if you're in love with this project it's performed very nicely off of that bounce so i can't deny that i can't deny how well it's performed against bitcoin either so in this general volume node is not a horrible place if you are obsessed if you're gonna get kicked out of your friend group if you sell your xrp that volume node right there look at how big that guy is around a dollar 40 not that bad i think that we could see a bump and run off a dollar 40 on xrp um this is a monthly thing that just continually goes on with the ripple escrow now the crazy thing is that people are so used to this they expect it they kind of like it uh quantifying this is something that you like it sounds like what is the the syndrome that you end up being okay with abuse what is this i can't remember the syndrome where you end up being okay with i have no idea but that's what this feels like to me uh stockholm syndrome is that you're talking about maybe i don't know maybe that check can come up with it but it feels like they just kind of it's a little sadistic a little freaky now yeah i think you're talking about stockholm syndrome is that stockholm syndrome okay yeah it's where you get i mean it's where the captive or the abuser develops an emotional bond trust or sympathy towards their captor you know which is effectively what you're saying okay i'm sorry to go off the rails but that just kind of feels like and in general i got some bullish price targets on xrp if it can hold its position which i don't think it's going to lose the top 10 the the the narrative is strong the cult is strong i've learned in crypto to not fade strong cults and xrp is number three when you take out actually it's number four if you'll because you can only take out tether i could see xrp holding at least within the top 10 but more so it's probably gonna land between number eight and number four at the kind of the pico top for all coins over the next few years in the local blow-off top in the more conservative bull market scenario 350 to four dollars is something xrp can accomplish holding this general position in the top 100 in the more bullish option the 10 to 15 trillion action for the entire crypto market that's where things get actually really fun that's where you're landing six to eight dollars per token on xrp because there's a consolidation of power at the top and the eight dollar potential for this is if it holds that number four crypto proper spot and we end up seeing an aggregate rise of the crypto coin uh crypto market cap to that 15 trillion dollar mark which i think it's a potential i think it is indeed a potential so having said i just had to talk about it a little bit i know that there's a lot of people that feel very strongly one way or the next about xrp i just look at this as a a very very overpowering narrative that use case be damned it takes over what do we got here let's see what it says well sometimes i feel like i got into crypto because i'm a masochist they were talking about you know yeah you like pain yeah point proven point proven you know and honestly there is something exciting and more exhilarating about crypto charts than there is on the traditional market charts right um we've seen a massive amount of money and i want to talk about crypto and the potential here the potential flow because i know bitcoin you know we fell down to 60k and everyone was cheering for 40 and 30 000 bucks it never came bitcoin's bouncing and the s p 500 it's seeming to be running out of steam just a little bit of uh weird noises coming from the engine of the s p 500 over the last few weeks here so the weekly time frame on the s p it's not great not great right we are dropping by about 1.3 yeah this could just turn into another bull flag but you know what i'm looking for and you know kind of expecting is even if the s p rises to 8 000 over the course of the remainder of this year maybe a little bit more people are going to turn and look at the bitcoin price action and realize that there is much more velocity to the upside for bitcoin and the gold gold unwinding right there's a lot of potentials of money to be flowing back into bitcoin as a potential higher return output for large investors as they see the s p kind of doing this stalled out move here near 8 000 8 000 points this is something i'm watching out for and a revisit back down to the 50 sma is not too crazy of a thing to look out for right we see these corrections consistently even if it is a chart that is largely up into the right in perpetuity uh these falls slightly under the 50 sma happen all the time on the weekly time frame let's look at what the two week looks like yeah the two week is a more concise uh broader pullback metric here for that 50 sma so i'm not going to be spright and look at the volume note right there at 6 800 i mean this is absolutely within the cards i'm just going to go ahead and draw this right now because we can watch this happen even with these companies rolling out and i was talking this is actually cardone friend of the show said something very reasonable last night and because there's obviously the guys are like where's the strc yield come from right and this is a conversation i've heard 2 000 times what do you think the dividends and the payments come for the traditional stock market companies right these overvalued stock market companies that provide dividends they're selling common share they're doing stock splits they're raising capital to pay those those dividends out strc is basically just a very similar product to what wall street has already done for a long time but now kind of building that gateway and i will say this cardone said something super super intelligent there is a gap there is a gap that strategy is filling between wall street and bitcoin exposure because there's a lot of people that just absolutely will never buy bitcoin absolutely and i completely agree with that that i don't agree of not buying it but i know that that contingent of people exist strategy is stepping in to fill the gap to grab that arbitrage between the person that will never have bitcoin and the person that wants consistent revenue right they want that yield that holding yield strc is already back to a hundred dollars you know i'm not thinking that it's going to cause the end of the planet and honestly if strategy as a whole goes and those nearly million bitcoin that he holds has to be liquidated if sailor goes we all go at this point so it's kind of like the captain of the bitcoin ship is this guy who might be hopped up on booger sugar but he's doing a good job with a product that the world has never seen and there are going to be people that are looking for options when the s p takes a breath and when gold takes a breath so that's just my broader thoughts on the strategy situation right now um i don't know why i went into that diatribe but i really i found it refreshing to hear something super super insightful out of cardone i did i did absolutely um now tj i know we've been using ai really hard and we've built out a lot of infrastructure for research it's made my life really good when it comes to crypto research um and forward looking the ai boom it's been going on for a little bit of time you know what is your approach to ai or you know just you simply using it as a tool because i'm getting a lot of questions i was at a bed and breakfast last night with like 10 other uh i don't even know if they're boomer they're like the silent generation i was i was hanging out with the silent generation really that's like an 80 90 year old yeah i was gonna say there's been not too many of them left anyone in colorado who knows jake jabs these guys were jake jabs boss at a point so if you know jake jabs american furniture warehouse um these are old money guys and they came to me they're do you think anthropics a good play like i was thinking about bitcoin at 75 bucks and missed opportunity but now i'm thinking about anthropic what do you even say to someone like that because i was like yeah you know ai is going to be rolling out it's disruptive but they felt like the upside is just not there for bitcoin anymore and i was like i didn't want to get into all the ta with them i would back them into it through gold with with that generation i usually start with gold because they understand gold they see the value of gold you know they you know like it's very that generation did really well holding gold uh and then kind of talk to them about the properties of gold of the store of value something outside the government something that can't be inflated something that uh kind of you know your ability to get it out of the ground is the only thing that's increasing the supply and then back into bitcoin that way um and then you know kind of talk about it like that you know just trying to explain to them and you know just trying to explain to them and you know and anthropic and if you wanted another angle i i would talk about open source right because i think that's the biggest threat to anthropic right or or uh open ai is their closed source and open source is gaining on them very very very fast these free models you know are is the gap is getting smaller between frontier and free and i don't see a world where they're going to be able to hold up those valuations unless they can get some sort of governmental assistance whether that be regulatory capture whether that be them being nationalized and if that's the case you'll have an opportunity there too right if the government nationalizes open ai or anthropic you know you'll probably see a pretty steep correction if they go public and then get nationalized the price will likely pull back and then go go up from there so if that's what really what we've seen with stuff like that in the past so to me you say yes ai is the future ai is not going to be stopped but really open source is the future and that's you know what makes open source ai interesting to me that's what makes crypto you know open beats closed in my opinion and now that might get too heady it just depends on your audience and what they're you know like if they're not if they don't understand technology or open source closed source and you have to explain that to them then stick with gold but yeah i would i would talk to them about gold talk you know and just kind of go through the properties and i think they can make it make sense and then show them what how much gold has changed market cap wise in the last 24 months and just say look that's a that's a fraction of what bitcoin is and you haven't missed it it's you're you know like there's it's still tiny on the global scale um just depends on how much time yeah i mean that's a good reminder man i and sometimes you know i was in a food coma because this bed and breakfast was incredible food but when they were asking me this i was just like you know ai i you know crypto these are two massive massive investment opportunities and i think by the time 2030 rolls around we'll be able to look at great upside in nanotechnology stocks as well i don't think the upside for this technological revolution is over another huge upside is my access to chipotle door dash users are going to soon be able to order chipotle through ai and have it delivered by autonomous drones in just minutes can you imagine how fat i'm going to get when this happens dj i mean my god it's going down side note i don't know if you saw my wife has started an instagram account she's been secretly filming me eating my food and my love affair with food and she's been putting it on instagram secretly that's hilarious well yeah i mean she's got she's i was like how many of these videos do you have of me eating she's like well i got this one and this one and this one so she's rolling it out slowly it's uh i think it's like drew and food i'll find when we pay when we pivot to full uh food influencers that's when you know it's time to sell you know that's when the bull market has gotten so good all we're doing is going to better restaurants then uh yeah that's the time to uh take some profits for sure oh my god and quick shout out i we've been meaning to do this for a long time tj but freedom rings yeah freedom rings your mom's going i've been i've been meaning to do this for like a week and a half so this if you guys don't know my mom uh she is always been an ambitious action sports action person she is actually setting a world record right now she's really into one wheeling and you can't really see the board there you can follow her that's her name naomi said you can follow her on facebook i've been seeing it on instagram she posts all the stories on instagram so if you they're probably going on facebook too but i'm just not on facebook but um if you want to follow along her journey she's raising money for uh something called my sister's house which is kind of a uh a shelter for women who need a place to go in a in a tough spot and she's riding her one wheel across the whole country and she's about uh i don't know a week or so in maybe a little bit more than a week she started in san diego she's going to be going all the way to saint august so from san diego to saint augustine all the way on a one wheel um most people can't really ride this i mean she's done multiple states already to practice but most people can't even do yeah most people can't ride it for 30 minutes without getting tired or sore she's she's doing you know 80 some i think she did an 80 and 90 mile an hour day so uh she's going probably i think i mean they don't go super fast maybe 20 30 miles an hour uh so yeah she's taken i think it's somewhere in the six weeks type of range maybe a little bit longer but yeah uh my dad's out there with her they got an rv so he's he's falling behind her but she's filming it all and meeting random people along the way and you know just kind of raising awareness for uh you know women out there so yeah if you guys want to follow along uh check out uh mama shed or naomi shed there on uh on facebook and instagram and she'd appreciate she loves uh interaction from anybody so yeah yeah meant i meant to announce it the day she went uh the day she started which was last monday i think i remembered i remembered thank you i follow her i interact with her all the time on facebook so shout out to you naomi and i would never be able to do that i used to be a sponsored skateboarder when i was a kid and i got on a one wheel i fell off in two seconds like i cannot do it so they're fine we cover crypto we cover the macro markets we cover ta we get in trades all the time and if you want to get trade and sign up with us on tubet i think we might have another uh trading partner coming up here very soon yep we're working on it support us that's right absolutely man uh i don't know about this this trade i may want to clip i think i'm still slightly in profit on it uh let's see here it's like staying very flat we're like so flat right now so i might just want to like protect it here my stop is right under this range i'll watch out for that we'll see if this one plays out but i'm going to be getting to filming a lot of we got a near update video to do we got a lot of bitcoin price target action coming um yeah i just worked on a revenue capture one that we were i have we're going to look at a little bit later today as far as uh or uh protocols that are giving revenue back to the holders so keep an eye out for that and yeah see you guys at the top at the top you you”

“Near is definitely something I'm interested in. I'm just concerned about this four-hour break. This is a very, very, very strong four-hour break, especially after the ETF announcement. I'm not really happy about this. I mean, if you look at this, there is a low, there is a high, clearly at least three consecutive candles. So, it can rally back a little bit, but I'm just not touching. Again, on short term, I'm waiting for the daily retrace, which should happen. So, I'm looking at down here at, like, 350, or between 350 and 390. So, somewhere here is my buying area. If and when we get there, I'm definitely loading up both on spot and on leverage as well. It's about 20% from here, and I do believe that it can get there.”

“I think are going to do very well. AeroDrome Finance for one, we've seen a pretty big move over the last month. Also, Ondo doing very well. And also Near Protocol.”

“So ideally, though, the price would probably push a little bit higher.”

“I think this will come close here. $4.30 to like $3.85 somewhere in that range.”

“if it does hold, if it does hold $3, potentially we might see a new all time high in the project.”

“I think what's near doing? Wow. Near is going back up again.”

“if it does hold dollar 2.8 we might see a new all-time high”

“i know near will go to dollar uh 5 513 i think it'll it'll happen today”

“then at some point of time i do think we're going to pull back but ultimately i think that pullback is going to be more of an opportunity than something to to be looking too short”

“I think Near Protocol is worth the risk-to-reward. You know, 478 is at the top of this horizontal, and then I think the stop loss is 504, right?”

“near looks really bearish right now. And that's okay. It is what it is. Obviously everything else is falling. So it's going to fall as well.”

“So the next target on the upside is $6.22.”

“But I do think that you will eventually see it give a typical pullback, like a near protocol pullback can easily be at the side of like 30, 40%.”

“near protocol it's probably gonna god am i gonna end the day with near protocol being four dollars unbelievable”

“To all the fives, I'm looking at a short for near, near protocol right at this level.”

“with a very high likelihood, we could just see this consolidation for much of September.”

“I think we're going to see near tumble down here towards weekly TBO support at 95 cents, which would be a steal for a chart that has previously done very well.”

“i've been buying it at 182 around here not exactly the bottom but that's okay i'm looking to take it off around 240 to 260 to be locking in around two thousand dollars on the entire portfolio”

“I've already set my TPs at 2.4 and 2.88. Those are the areas of where I'm going to look to TP.”

“The first target for NIR, I think, will be, for example, also around 5.2.”

“You can see on the weekly, you know, near has continued and will probably most likely continue in this uptrend.”

“Now, all time highs for this crypto asset is all the way up at $20, which again is a clean 10 X even from right now.”

“NIR has a target for growth. The main target is here. This is around 4 dollars.”

“That is a huge bullish warning to me, you know, when we get those again, just a swing fail, right? We had a swing fail of support. So it's on the bullish side of things and just a beautiful push”

“it's crucial to break through it and when it does it will go straight towards 3.25 which is nearly a 3x from here.”

“So it's a question of time before it tries to break it. I mean, break this low here at $1 approximately.”

“And where is the 61 level? This is the area of 12 dollars and those very 7 8 9 dollars of which I just spoke”

“First target is the area of 7. And this is really, really, I think, real. So those who hold NIR, hold on. If you want to buy, I don't see any obstacles. Because at the current moment NIR is at such a very good price level. That is, we can hold here. The same 8 dollars can be seen there.”

“by nira it's completely logical to expect such behavior that is exiting to the 5 dollar zone”

“I genuinely think Near Protocol deserves a 10x. I would put it right around where it was previously all-time highs back in 2021.”

“I believe that Nier is very strong. I think that this one has got a potential 10x ahead of it.”

“limited growth, i think, in the near future it should be replaced by something more positive and something more accelerated and marks there 3.5, 3.7 can wait on this background.”

“Near Protocol, I feel like is going to have its day in the sun.”

“I think maybe 5 to 10x in the best case scenario is a great outcome for NIR.”

“Goal we set, judging by the structure, final diagonal a bit above the previous global maximum That is, on the value of approximately 21 dollars.”

“But now I would, say, take more profits at 8.5.”

“If for some reason NIR gives a strong move to 7 bucks, I'll close everything.”

“I would orient myself somewhere around here, yeah, about two dollars. Two dollars, and 1.27, I already have orders at 1.27, 1.3.”

“So exiting via the same Nira in this movement – don't go to the grandma. Just the question, where will this movement be, yeah. It could be after another 2 weeks, we can stand in the movement area around 1.64”

“I think you're going to see it explode through these levels.”
