CRYPTO 101 — Crypto Rundown: Top Altcoins to Own RIGHT NOW!. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
All right, everybody. Welcome back to the crypto rundown happy Friday. And you know that you are in the right place. If you've been listening the last couple of weeks, we've given you so much alpha on this show. It's almost hard to recap. We've been talking about Z cash. We're talking about Robin Hood chain, specifically ponds. It's been an absolute plethora of alpha inside the community and even on the podcast this last six weeks. But again, this is what we do it for. This is why we pound the table again when it's the bore you out phase or the volatility phase and price action isn't going your way. Keep coming back to the show. Keep listening because that is where the alpha is. And if you have been somebody that's been a long-term listener this year consistently coming back, you can point back to many points or many different episodes and talks where alpha was given. We're going to cover some of that on the show. And we're also going to talk about the top alt coins that are going on right now. It's something that I get really proud
about not only for the show that I tried to produce a good show for you guys, but I'm proud of the team. I'm proud of Bryce, Brendan, Joe, Brian Hunter. Like they have been putting in the work. And if you're inside the community, you know, because you get a touch base with them every single day. And it's something that we want to celebrate. So this is an episode of celebration for where we are celebration of the team and celebration of the future because we think that there's a lot of positive stuff to come. And that's what it's all about. Brian, give me a mic check. Hey, Mike, Mike, one, two, I was saying we're back. We're back. We're live. We're doing it live. And we're just doing a little victory lap for the team. I just gave kudos to you and the whole entire team of, you know, this is what it's all about. And I want to tee people up for the show now of, hey, there's a lot of action going on. There's a lot of news going on. We're going to cover that top to bottom. There's a couple of the top alt coins that we see making the most news. We're going to talk about them here. And then again, you never know with the crypto 101 podcast and krypnation as a whole where the alpha is going to come. So stick around. Like if you're new here, bottom right, hit subscribe and turn on the bell notifications
for the show for the live show. If you want to join us live, Brian, welcome back. Glad you got the mic figured out. We have coin market cap up still a positive week, a little bit of volatility today. Some jobs numbers came in on the positive side. You're thinking, oh, good, everybody has jobs, but I think that the market might fear a little bit of a rate hike in the middle of September that people are eyeing. So what are you seeing here from the big board before we top into jumping to the top alt coins that are making the most noise? Well, I'll tell you what, man, I'm smelling like a butcher's dog. It's been some fun times out here. I mean, I was so excited. I started grabbing my mic, something that you always tell me before pretty showed on touch your mic because I get so excited. But the boards, the boards looking pretty good, man, the main board is pretty good. We're going to jump into what's going on in Robin Hood. I think it's the way we teed it up, the way we've mapped it out all summer, kind of when we're in those low periods, when the fear and greed sitting at a nine, we're like, just hang in there with us because the market's going to
start to bring up. It's going to start to turn alive again. And that's exactly what we're showing. We did in you nailed it, kind of with the jobs numbers. Bitcoin, I think was at like 81,000 bucks yesterday, small peelback, but dude, what we're sitting at $79,000 right now. I mean, this feels like it happened pretty quick and it feels strong. I'm absolutely loving where we are with Bitcoin. I think we're going to see some more fireworks coming to the fall. And Bitcoin's not even the showstopper. There's been some major all coins that are run recently as well. Yeah, it's been a fun couple weeks. And no more fun has been had been on Robin Hood chain. We're going to do a big segment here on Robin Hood chain. And just the, I don't even know, just the amount of activity on there is kind of staggering. Robin Hood chain flipping Ethereum and hyper liquid in 24 hour revenue this week. Pretty insane coming for a iron up salon. And next I know it has, I think it had the most activity
this week as well. What are you seeing just from a high level view of the chain as a whole and then bring us into there so much activity that something negative happened just this morning. Yeah, I guess we should talk about Robin Hood chain flipping Ethereum and hyperliquid and app revenue. So for a 24 hour period there, Robin Hood generated, I think it was like 2.6, 2.66 million bucks in revenue hyperliquid was like 1.7 and Ethereum was 1.27. So Robin Hood chain actually beat both of them for the day. Now there's, there's a pretty big caveat there. Almost 90% of the revenue is coming from apps like GMGN, Ponds. We'll talk about later on the show, UD swap. So we're not talking about this giant mature ecosystem. It's a really handful of apps that are driving the activity, but it's still real activity. And that's why that that's why it's so interesting right now because it's, it's, it's just getting started. And that's where the attention is. And I think Robin Hood is this entire chain is one of the
most interesting matters we've seen in a long time. And I think it's a big reason that we're seeing a lot of movement and a lot of different coins. Yeah. And it's getting a ton of good press obviously on crypto Twitter specifically. It's even leaking out into the mainstream media, which is what you guys know. I like to keep tabs on for us all. You know, Vlad's doing his press hits for sure. Apparently, and I'll hand this off to you again, is AMC. They're doing some tokenized stocks on their on their chain. And then I guess there's some pushback here. Yeah. This was, this was Adam Aron, I believe he's a CEO and he was jumping, jumping in this tokenized stock debate. He went off on how Robin Hood over the fact that they're tokenized versions of AMC and reportedly more than 190 other stocks are offered. He kind of maps that out. And he really didn't hold back in this Twitter, Twitter post. I watched this kind of happen live. He called it outrageous, disgusting, inexcusable, vile, any word that you can imagine.
Basically, emptied the entire the, the SARS on any word related behind that is main point is that AMC has nothing to do with these tokens and they aren't actually AMC issued shares. Then good old Vlad, you can see he replies, what's the concern? And of course, that's, that's kind of started trending in a mean itself, which pretty much tells you how far these, these two sides are apart. The CEO of AMC is looking at this as a public company CEO saying you're putting something with my ticket on chain that we didn't authorize. And Robin Hood's looking at it as a tokenized market exposure being offered through a different structure. They're also, there's also some regulatory issues here in legal questions. But from a market perspective, this is really a fight worth watching in my opinion because tokenized stocks are clearly becoming a real product category. And now companies, names are attached to them. And they're starting to notice in I've been waiting for this to be completely honest with you. Good or
bad if the AMC is just one point. And I was in this meme coin that was trading really low called cinema. It was like the ticker was cinema. I think it was AMC. And it was connected to the token I stocked. And it wasn't doing very well. And I was like, man, what's going to happen over the weekend? Do I sell out my position in this, the CEO just had a nowhere starts talking about what's going on in Robin Hood. And that thing shot from like 500,000 market kept a 10 million. And I insta sold. I was like, oh, man, what's going on? And I found this thread. So we're starting to see real CEOs, real companies now look at the as meme coins and tokenized stocks and call them out. And it's like one of those things to any press if it's good or bad isn't necessarily bad overall. It's usually good. And Vlad, you know, commenting on here, sending a ripple effect. This is what we, this is what happens in crypto. There's a disruptive market. And it usually matures and shakes itself out. Again,
there's some regulatory things that need to work itself out. But we're watching this in real time. And there's some really awesome opportunities to get in on. Yeah, there are when the chain is up. So we have to all the positive news coming out of Robin Hood chain. I think we both agree it's not going anywhere, but a little glitch here with it going down. So what do we think of this? Is it something that you put pause to or is this just the growth effect of a chain becoming so popular on that it needs to, you know, like a baby deer get its legs under it. Yeah, good analogy. I think it's the latter. This is so the clarify for anybody who's not super familiar. This was not the Robin Hood app. This is a chain itself that stopped producing blocks for about 14 minutes. And when you're talking about a network targeting a block, like every 10th of a second, that's roughly about like 8,000 mis blocks. The explorer basically just froze. So not a great thing to have happened, but it's back online now. There's no hack.
There's no loss funds. Nothing like that. So far, it just looks like the network hit a wall because it was under so much load. And honestly, the really the more interesting part of the story to me here is Robin Hood chain's been doing between 11 and 14 million transactions a day. And the activity over there's been just absolutely ridiculous. And that's meme coins. That's launch pads. That's tokenized stocks. That's all of it. And it's all over the timeline. So I'm not looking at this is like even really that bad. It's not like Robin Hood chain's dead. It's more like, all right, you officially got people using this thing and now outages matter. We saw plenty of this happen more than once with Solana and early growth. And the important thing is is Robin Hood, how quickly they addressed it and how they're going to make sure it's not going to become a recurring issue. So I think it's exactly what you said there, Tivo. It's there just to get tons of action. That's what the action is. And it's it's growth pains and you don't want to see a chain
go down. I'm never a big fan of that. But I think Solana had it happen like eight, ten times. And I think Robin Hood's going to address this pretty quickly. We're back up. We're running. And the market didn't seem to really care to be honest with you. Yeah. Yeah. And I think we're going to stick on Robin Hood right now before we move on. But there's another token top all coin performer that we're going to talk about that had a down moment, a negative moment recently. And the price was affected. But now it's back up at all time. Hi. So you're going to stick around for what that is. That's coming up later in the show. And yeah, I don't see the Robin Hood chain going anywhere because the boys all they got to do now is whip out their credit card, Brian. Just whip out the visa, the master card, whatever you got in your pocket, whip out the plastic and start buying neem coins. I remember when you did a tutorial and you taught me in our audience about God, I'm blank and moonshot moonshot. And there were so many tokens on moonshot. And you could buy them elsewhere, but this started just rocketing because all you had to do
is little apple pay. And you could go in and start trading neem coins now. It seems like a similar story to Robin Hood. And then you're seeing the success, which we're going to cover next of a lot of the projects on there. Yeah. I mean, people apparently can buy neem coins using credit cards and apple pay and Google pay and they can actually earn credit card points or cash back on purchases. And that's because these transactions are being tagged as digital goods other than crypto purchases. So we've reached the point where someone can potentially buy a meme coin with using their chase points. Chase already did come out and say that these transactions should be classified and visa is looking into it. We got the New York attorney general reporting. He's looking into what's happening it as well. So I don't think this loophole is going to sit here forever, but it does help to explain some of the things that Robin Hood's done really well. They're taking crypto and putting it behind payment rails. People use every day. And you don't need someone to understand
bridging and wallets and five different networks anymore. If they can basically tap apple pay and get in the trade, that's kind of where we're at right now. So the boys can use credit cards as of right now. I don't think it's going to be like that forever, but it is like that right now. Yeah. The trenches. It feels like there's been a lot of action on that. We're going to cover that now, but it feels like this is the first first half. And there's going to be some crazy, crazy things to come in one of the winners that you called out that we're going to cover next was, you know, it told in the community it was told on the podcast. And so if you're somebody that's sitting here, maybe newer that hasn't tuned in all summer and you're like, Oh, man, you know, you're about to see us cover all these winners. And you heard us talk about all the winners that we talked about on the show. And in the community, how can you get it be a part of that? Check the link below. We have the number one coin right now. So again, the stuff that we're going to talk about today, Brian's going to give you a fair take. You know, is there still some juice left in
it? Maybe, maybe not, but you definitely missed the first big push. And so if you don't want to miss the next big coin that we see that could be the next one to take off. Check the link below. We got a special for you today. The number one coin to own today. Go check that out. But man, the former coin to own that you called was ponds. And my God, what a call. We even got a shout out to Crispin Capital here. Ponds now a 5x shout out to the crypto 101 pod for putting it on my radar. God bless. Well, we take your God bless, Crispin Capital. And we appreciate it. And you know, again, join us for weekly crypto alpha. Join the community. Do not miss out in this bull market. Brian ponds unbelievable. Where do you want to take it? I mean, ponds is the number one launch pad on Robin Hood right now. I'm actually looking to see when we called it in our in our group because this July 22nd it had $20 million market cap. Really liked what they were doing. They were they were making
it. They're making a ton of money. They became the number one launch pad. And they are just up and to the right. And they're they're making I think over a million dollars a day right now. I mean, the action is over here on ponds on the launch pad. That's where everyone's kind of default going. And I've always done like a comparison. I remember early on, I was like our hope here, everybody, when we were talking to our community is that ponds could be the baby brother or or to pump dot fun. What pump dot fun did for Solana ponds does for the Robin Hood. And there's always competition in these launch pads. And I always get worried about competition and launch pads. But ponds is absolutely running away with it. The teams continuing to produce easy to use. People are utilizing it. I think 60 or 70% of the coin launches on Robin Hood are going through ponds right now. And the price prices are reacting in not finding true advice. But I still think it's undervalued. If it continues this growth in the money they're making
daily. They're doing a lot of buybacks, a lot of burns, a lot of a lot of interesting mechanics here. They get it. What needs to happen. They're kind of running the pumped off on playbook, but even better. And if attention stays on Robin Hood, ponds is going to continue to be a beneficiary. But yeah, I mean, I think it's sitting at like five six hundred million dollar market cap, right? And five hundred million dollar market cap. It's hard to keep up because it's just going up so quickly. And what would you think? What's pump dot fun at right now? Should we look at a market cap wise? I feel like could it be a pump fun? So, you know, you're saying could it be a pump fun? You know, I guess it's all time. One point three billion. It's at one point five now. So, you know, maybe there's still a one two X left in it. Again, we want to always encourage our audience. You got to do your own research. We're not financial advisors. In these trenches. But just trying to give you a little visibility of, you know, how our team has been on top of these calls, you know, for a long time over the years. And that's why we're still around. So,
our crypto 101. So our coordination. But what are you looking at pros and cons to the future of pond? I mean, not financial advice. This is just some dude on the internet talking about crypto. And I obviously have a bag. I think it goes to a billion. I really do. I think if the action continues to keep going like it is, I mean, there's always going to be corrections. I mean, this is just an insane looking chart. And I always say if something's going up in a straight line, you want to take profits. And I have personally, I have taken my profits. So I'm now free rolling a bag. And it's a nice bag. But I'm going to I think a billion dollars is not unrealistic. If we're on a couple of weeks from now and you're like, man, it's at $1.1 billion or it's just cracked a billion dollars. I'm not going to be shocked by it. It's I mean, the move from 20 million to 100 million or 20 million to 200 million. I mean, they were fighting other launch pads. Now, they've become
kind of the main players out there. Everyone knows them. I don't think it's been listed on Robinhood's app yet. I think cashcats the only one. I mean, I think I think yeah, yeah. I think there's just some catalyst here for it to continue. And then I think that just the action on Robinhood is the main catalyst to keep pumping it up. And then you could get a listing. I think we're going to a billion. And don't lose your shirt over there because don't chert me if it, you know, another launch pad comes out or it is what it is because you know, but well, it's about diversification. And that's what, you know, again, being involved in the community and listening consistently is all about because that's what this game is. It's investing. It's trading. It's research and it's changing opinions and long term thesis for short term thesis. So again, check the links out. Everybody knows there's nothing better than heading into the weekend taking some profits and having a big old bag of a free roll that you can have some fun into the weekend. Nothing like a free roll bag, my friend. But nothing like it. And then we just want to continue on again, one
catalyst here is Uniswap buying ponds launch pad tokens for a long term alignment. Again, that's a huge deal. There's a lot of bullishness around Uniswap as well. I know we've, you know, there's some reports in the community. If you're interested again and getting more involved, check the links below. This is the type of stuff that you want to deep dive in, get the research so you can be ahead of the game. Let's talk about Zcash because again, I think it's a good transition. It's like, oh, Robinhood chains down. Is it dead? No, it's probably going to, you know, a chain going down like that with the team that Robinhood has probably will continue to, you know, hit high water marks. And that kind of reminds me of Zcash because we have the Zcash security breach. And we covered that on the show. I remember specifically you were on and you talked about how you were nibbling at those price ranges and like, what was it? The three, three to 400 range. And now it's, it's an absolute, it's in the top 10. It's hitting all time highs as of this morning, breaking a thousand. So what are your thoughts on the Zcash?
Yeah, I'm glad we're talking about it and shout out to anybody in our community or especially anybody watching the run down because I think I've said it multiple times on the run down how I liked what Zcash was doing. You know, there was the breach in the orchard pole. And there was an issue they addressed it very quickly. Then they migrated everyone over to Ironwood. And I started to see a lot of flows over to Ironwood and the price didn't feel like it was catching up. And so yeah, personally, I made a push into it. I was pretty open about it. And now it's pushed itself in that I think a top 10 and market cap right around like 16, 17 billion up 20, 30% on the week up quite a bit on the day. It's a massive move. And there's a couple of things happening here. Why this happened? Gracedale converted its old Zcash trust into the new Zcash ETF, which gives a traditional brokerage accounts in much easier exposure. At the same time, we got futures open, interest climbed, roughly like 2 billion, 2.3 billion, or something I read. And that's right around 14% of the entire market cap. But we saw I think like 34, 35 million worth of liquidation. So yes,
clearly the privacy narrative is here, but there's also a ton of leverage involved. And that can push something really way higher than people expect. I am a Zcash bull. I think privacy makes a ton of sense. I bought into this after the exploit once the team who's been around for a long time, addressed it correctly. And I was like, this was kind of my both thesis is exactly how it's playing out. I was like, I could see if the adoption in ironwood upgrade gets converted correctly. They get a full audit like they did. And they come out with some positive press. We forget about this stuff. We're just in the crypto community. We got goldfish brains. We're talking about Robin Hood and Vlad. People try to point back to like what happened with all that Reddit stuff years ago. Well, yeah, we don't care. He's, you know, we're pumping now. And this is what happened. So Zcash really pieced it together and privacy is interesting meta. And I think it's here to stay. The ETFs are
interesting. And it's over a thousand bucks or it's dang close. Nine over nine fifty. And again, not to say there's not gonna be some pushbacks, but I again, not finding it to advice, but I bought it kind of early. And I still have my bag. And I'm gonna ride it for a little while. It's a great lesson of just investing doing your research and understanding narratives because it reminds me of something that we covered a lot earlier in the year was this, you know, software is dead trade. How AI is coming and it's gonna replace every software and every business. And it felt like Bitcoin was getting caught up in that software trade. It's like, oh, AI is gonna crack the code. Bitcoin's done. Every software company is gonna be replaced by companies using AI to build their own software. That was a true. It was a real narrative. And these stocks were down 20, 30, 40, 50 percent. Adobe was down like 50, 60 percent. And like, at some point, you got to, you know, you're gonna follow the narrative. And I was I was proud of
myself because I think I stuck my head out. I was like, hey, this is getting completely overdone. Like if you think of a software company like a toast, when you go to a restaurant toast is used as that little handheld thing where everybody pays. It's called toast is like our restaurant bar owners gonna use AI to invent their own POS system. Like I don't, I don't think so. You know, our lawnmower is gonna invent AI to do their own scheduling system majority probably not. And so it just felt like an overdone move. And so Zcash is a perfect example of okay, there's a real issue. There was some new data, some new information that we needed to consume, but going through it and learning about narratives, that's where your opportunities are. And so that's what listening to show being a part of the community sticking to it. Except when I see the numbers, I say this all the time, I see the numbers, y'all are starting to come back. And we love having you here, but stick around, stick around for the alpha. Don't miss out because you're gonna miss rips like Salana. How about Salana coming up, waking up with a 30% 37% move in one month. I haven't heard anybody talking about Salana recently.
There's too much hype around the hyperlick with the Zcash is the PONs, the Robinhood chains, Salana quietly having a 37% month. And then when you drag this chart out to a year, I mean a lot of room to go, you know what I'm saying? So what are you feeling on Salana? There's some some news coming out. Let's see here. Salana's double disinflation proposal. Just trying to get the tokenomics more aligned maybe. Yeah, I mean, well, the double the double disinflation passes. So the vote cleared with like a two-thirds threshold rate and basically the network's accelerometer rate in which sole inflation comes down in the estimate of sole being used over the next six years. And you know, I actually think this is a pretty important piece of the Salana story right now. We spent a lot of time talking about apps, memes, and volumes. This is kind of the boring part, less new supply. When you can buy less issuing of new supply with growing demand from ETFs and institutional products, that becomes really a meaningful part of the tokenomics story
for Salana. So I think that's a big reason why we're starting to see it. And then the ETFs are growing as well. Yeah, the highest volume in history of this past week for the B-Soul ETF, the Bitwise Soul ETF. And then this one had just cracked a billion. 1.7 and flows. So yeah, I mean, there's interest here. You can see, you can totally see that this chart is up into the right, which means it's just continued interest. And there's people buying this for a long term hold. So again, there's certain narratives that become the bell of the ball. And when people aren't talking about them, that's when you really want to dive in and see what's really going on. And then you make your thesis. And that's what we do here. We educate. The question is, there's a couple of things that I'm seeing up to keep my eyes on as we head into September seasonality, September, at least for the stock market is weak. We have our midterm election year. So a lot going on in the next call it two to three months, as there always is in the markets. We have a potential.
The markets are pricing in a rate hike for mid-September. This might be we might be able to cover this one live, Brian. I think me and you hope maybe if we're not busy, we'll be able to do it. And if not, we'll definitely talk about it on the rundowns. But people are eyeing a possible rate hike. Is that going to happen? Is it not? Is it just a clearing event? And then clarity act won't die. People, you know, the clarity act not getting done in August, you know, everybody said that that that means it's dead. There's still some talk about it. So it's an interesting catalyst to talk. I got a clip here from the SEC chair. This isn't, you know, this isn't some low-lying Congressperson trying to make some noise. This is the SEC chair. So it's a 90 second clip here. But let's take a look what he's saying on national TV. I mean, saying, uh, leading with confidence there, Brian, confident it's going to pass the Senate end up on the president's desk. That's interesting words. I don't know if the betting market's quite agree on that. And he certainly isn't a holistic one-of-one power that can get that done. But um, it kind of goes back to the thesis that we've built since
Bryson, I went to the Audi's conference was a lot of high profile people they're talking about. Yeah, we'd like clarity to pass. But if it doesn't, there's people in place, the SEC chair being one, the CFTC chair being another, where they have powers that be to start enacting some of these rules and regulations and inserting them into the system. Even if clarity doesn't pass, it would be nice to pass. It would be better if it passes. But if it doesn't pass, it's not the end of the world. And I think this is kind of a vote of confidence. Maybe this is just my own take again. It took one political science class in college. Gotta be. But this is basically him jaw-boning saying like, hey, you better come to the table and talk and negotiate and get your, you know, recessions or take this, but this, this is your time to build something together. Because if you don't, I'm going to do everything in my power to implement this into the system. So I think this is more of a little bit of a jaw-boning to people that might be holding out and saying, okay, well, we have a SEC chair who's going to do over the next two and a half, three years what he thinks is right. Maybe we
should put some regulation in place. I think this is him saying now is your time to get it done. And if you don't, I'm going to do everything in my power to implement what I think is best. Yeah, I mean, you nailed it. Atkins keeps making that crypto needs actual loss pass by Congress rather than rules changing every time leadership changes and changes at the SEC. And it makes some sense too, because look what's happening right now. We got tokenized stocks. We got crypto ETFs. We got meme coins being bought by credit cards in Apple Pay. We got privacy coins getting like ETF wrappers. All this gets much easier if they just, they just build around it. And there's finally a clear market structure law. The SEC is apparently, you know, still preparing rules in case Congress doesn't get it done. But obviously the market would much rather have legislation other than another cycle of agencies deciding what what the rules are. September could be a pretty big important month. But I'm liking how this is setting up though, Tivo, because when we were like
just staring at each other on these rundowns like man, like the fear is bottom fear. And you and I are just like, Hey, hang in there, everyone. Things are going to be okay. The catalyst was kind of like the big cast will like we hope the clarity act happens. Now the markets starting to wake up. It doesn't feel like we're, we're dependent on if it goes good or bad right now. I think clarity acts going to eventually happen. And when it does, it's going to be really, really big for the market. But even if we don't get the greatest news, I don't think there's any stop in this bus right now. People are waking up, getting some of the bullies asking me about crypto again. We're getting some heaters out there. You're able to find me points with credit cards. But we want, we want the clarity act to happen. It's, it's going to be an important. It's, yeah, crypto is not going anywhere. It is back. And you could make a case. It's back as bigger. It's better than ever. And football is back. And when football and crypto are back, you start to see
some interesting things. Go gators anybody. XRP and the Florida gators are proud to announce a partnership. I mean, I don't, this is real. This is the Florida gators. The Florida gators official thing. I mean, I don't know what else to do. I'm back up here. Give you a little chop. Go gators. The XRP army and the gators are now one unbelievable. I mean, who on the, I always love to do this the same thing with Galaxy. Like who on the board of directors went to Florida? It must be loving this. Getting the swamp going with XRP. What do you think of this? What is it? I don't even know. This is interesting. I didn't, I didn't see this. This is new to me. And my wife played lacrosse at Georgia and hates the Florida gators. Everything about the rivalry. That's a rivalry. Like, like, like, doesn't even wear the color orange and blue together. Our son loves the colors orange and blue. And she tries to like, talk them out of where. I mean, the Florida gators,
I don't have any issues with them. And you know, I love to see this sort of partnership. But it is really interesting because XRP, I love the XRP army. I never bought into it. But it's really interesting to see like these two like really like Florida. It has a lot controversy in my household. You know, there's a lot in probably in the whole SEC too. You know, Florida, you know, and then they team up with probably one of the biggest cryptos out there that has a lot of controversy probably in my personal household as well. Seeing them join forces. But I had, I'm running for them both. I want to see that XRP logo all over the uniform. I want to see it everywhere. I want to see XRP sponsor in a stadium because they are. They made it. They are the logo at the stadium. Yeah, this is it. You got what you wish for right now. Oh my gosh. I didn't, I didn't catch the part that it was the logo at the actual stadium. Look on the field. It's next to the SEC. I mean, this is this is just this is a, this is if you need a sign of a bull market, everyone,
this is probably the biggest sign of a bull market. You know, it's unbelievable for a Friday run down for a Friday run down for both hands. Don't go 28 nothing last night. Did the hands are of 28 nothing last night? It was unbelievable. I'm throwing through this thing. No, go ahead. Go ahead. I meant to text you. I filled a couple of shackles on the hands last night. I did. I meant to text you because I bought a shy off the bob. He, he, he kind of gave me the breakdown and I left that meeting with Bob. I was like, I think I'm going to make a couple bucks on the hands this year because he knew more about that team than I think their coach does. He's one of those guys. I mean, season ticket holder my entire life. I don't, it's hard to think. You could probably count over 30 plus years of, you know, if he's missed some games, you can count him on one hand and there was a good reason behind it. I'm scrolling through this XRP thing here being like, okay, well, what is it? What, what is the agreement? Like I'm scrolling through,
like, oh, they're going to integrate XRP into this or that. And I'm just kind of like, okay, let me, before I give a hot take, open invite anybody on the XRP team. Obviously, you're welcome to come on the pod and talk about the partnership and XRP and everything. But like, I'm reading through this. There's a lot of fluff. It's like, oh, it's like the, you know, it's going to help students and we're going to support the, the, the education and finance and business. I'm like, where's the, what is this? I was like, this is just an advertising thing. I love it. I love it. XRP Florida Gators. Football is back. It is official. We covered the Texas A&M thing, which is great. And this is, this is good. I think this is good. Again, you know, this is the sign of, of healthy crypto companies. Crypto is here. It's not going away. Football is back and it's Friday. So we just want to say thank you guys.
