We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
Come on, come on.
We'll be right back.
I want to be the only way I've been practicing my whole life to live my life is to be responsible for what I do.
I don't know how to be responsible for what every black male do.
I don't know.
I guess I am going to say that I'm a judge.
That's because I came from the gutter and I'm still here.
I see no changes.
I see no changes.
All I see is racist faces.
This place, hate makes this face for races.
We under.
I wonder what it takes to make this.
One better place.
Let's see.
Race to waste.
Take the evil out the people.
They'll be acting right.
It's both black and white.
It's my tonight.
And the only time we chill is when we kill each other.
It's a skill to be real.
I'm going to heal each other.
And though it seems even sick, we ain't wrecked to see a black president.
It ain't a secret, don't conceal the fact.
A penitentiary fact and it's filled with blacks.
But some things will never change.
Try to show another way, but it's staying in the dope.
Now tell me what's the mother to do.
Being real, throw the bill to the brother and you.
You got to operate the easy way.
I made a G today.
But you made it in a sleazy way.
Selling back to the kids.
I got to get paid.
Well, hey.
Well, that's the way it is.
Come on.
Come on.
That's just the way it is.
Things will never be the same.
That's just the way it is.
Oh, yeah.
That's just the way it is.
Man, what's going on, man?
Welcome, welcome, welcome from the block to the blockchain.
Sick.
What's happening?
Jonathan, what's going on?
Just chilling.
I think I woke up maybe like 30 minutes ago.
Whoa.
Yeah.
Just chilling.
I normally don't.
I normally don't sleep in.
I normally got insomnia.
And today just been a day.
I've just been kind of chilling.
I should go.
Where everybody at?
Huh?
You know, I don't know.
I thought I was getting more people in there, too.
You know, we always start a little.
A little slow.
Let me see what's going on.
But I'm trying to figure it out.
My Twitter was tripping earlier.
Oh, shit.
I've been saying people talk, talk shit about that in the feed.
Yeah.
I don't know why he'd be doing that on the weekend, man.
Like, well, whatever bullshit that he'd be doing, you could do that like late night on a on a weekday instead of like the weekend.
Because a lot of people be on here on the weekend.
Yeah.
Then I've seen.
I've seen they changing a lot of things on Twitter.
People engage with you and shit, huh?
How many tweets you can make or how many tweets, how many people can see it?
What would anybody know about that?
Yeah, because I saw that it was like if you're like if you're verified, you can get like six thousand.
And if you're like unverified, it's like six hundred.
It's it's kind of weird.
I saw it, but I didn't.
I need to look more into it.
But that's what I was reading.
I need one of Elon's tweets.
I don't know what the fuck you doing.
That's just.
Oh, no, he wants people to pay the money.
I mean, well, what the question is, what the fuck you going to do with it?
Because, I mean, you got the money.
You ain't doing nothing right now.
You letting racist like just thrive in here and amongst other things.
So I don't know what you doing with the money.
You are getting his money back, man.
You need to be doing for the people.
You don't get your money back.
Plus, you're a billionaire, man.
Get the fuck out of here with that one.
But, you know, a lot of we all understand this like.
People don't care, bro.
True.
People don't.
People don't really care.
Like, that's the reality.
We just got to be honest with ourselves.
It sounds good.
Hold on.
Let me send this to the groups.
It just sounds good.
A lot of people just want to speak on doing better and helping.
I just had this conversation with somebody last night.
Like, so many people just want to talk about support, want to talk about helping their communities,
want to talk about doing better, doing especially, bro, because it's a selling point.
That's just what it is.
For a lot of people, it's just a selling point.
It sounds good.
It's going to make them look good.
I want to do so many things for their communities.
Okay.
Why are you not doing it?
Why are you not partnering up or getting together with the people that is actually already doing things in their communities?
What's the difference?
Nah, you're right about that.
So, for example, let's be honest, and this is a recorded space, right?
I know people got a lot of things to do, but...
Come on, buddy.
I'm hungry as hell.
You're good.
But it's like, for example, for me, as much support as I give people, I don't receive that shit back.
And that's okay, though, because I don't do it for that.
But when people get to talking about it, that's why people be like, oh, man.
Because I speak my mind.
I 100% speak my mind.
I feel like a lot of people on Twitter just be full of shit.
You know what I mean?
Everybody wants support, but nobody want to do the support.
You know what I mean?
It's like, it's all about what can I do for you in order to benefit me?
In a lot of situations, that's what it be.
It's like, what can I do for you, but it has to benefit me?
If not, I'm not, you know, I don't really want to do it.
And it happens, you see it over and over and over, and it goes for every race.
That's why all that shit, people always, man, there's a lot of people that play victim roles.
There's a lot of shit.
It's like, I see it.
For example, you know what?
I'm going to speak about it later.
I'm going to speak about it later.
It's because I'm going to piss some people off today.
You know, I'm going to speak.
I'm going to piss some people off today.
What's up?
So you come from war?
Nah, nah, I just can't.
I just come.
You know what I mean?
It's like, I gather things through the week.
Oh, shit.
Bro.
What's happening?
Twitter trying to get me to pay $11.
Man, I ain't doing it.
What's up, bro?
Man, the motherfuckers had me reach my limit earlier, bro.
I couldn't look at nothing.
What's going on?
Twitter.
That's the thing you were talking about, Six.
But what do you mean you couldn't look at nothing?
Bro, like, I couldn't.
If I were to click on your profile, I can't see none of your tweets.
It'd tell me I reached my limit.
Oh, he wants his money.
And he going to get it.
Yeah, so, of course, you're going to have to pay $11.
What is that going to do?
To go from $400 to $800 to $8,000, I guess.
And even if I'm just scrolling down my timeline, bro, you know what I mean?
I can look at 400 tweets in, like, one scroll.
But I'm going to tell you, what that's going to do is going to make people not engage with a lot of people.
Yep.
It's going to make people not engage with a lot of people.
But, Jonathan, just to answer your question, no, I didn't come here for war.
But I just kind of gather things through the week, and I go through the analyze and everything that I go through in Web3 and in real life.
And then, you know, we come over here, you know, from the block to the blockchain.
I just speak my mind.
I just, you know, it's, bro, I'm very controversial, but I'm not.
It's just, it's so simple dealing with me, bro.
Like, a lot of people might think I'm just a hard person to deal with.
Like, in real life, some people are like, you're just hard to deal with.
I'm not.
I like things done a certain way.
Like, I expect to give back.
I don't give to expect nothing back.
But if I'm a good person to you, I expect you to be a good person to me.
You know what I mean?
That's one thing for sure.
Respect a lot of things.
And Twitter is a little different.
And I always speak about it.
And it's just funny to me.
Like, you know, I'm street smart, I'm an educated.
So, like, that's very interesting to me.
It's like, this is like my social experiment, bro.
Like, me on Twitter and bringing my partners.
Like, man, this is my bro from the street.
You know what I mean?
It's like, this is like a social experiment.
From the block to the blockchain.
From the block to the blockchain social experiment.
And the things that I see is just mind-blowing, bro.
And when I speak my mind sometimes, some people just, it's too much.
Because, you know, we're programmed to kind of hear bullshit, lies, and fake shit so much that when somebody actually is so raw and a thousand percent speak, what's in their mind is shocking to a lot of people.
It's not.
It shouldn't be.
It's the truth.
Like, shit, if you're fucking up, I'm going to tell you you're fucking up.
That's about the equivalent of going to somewhere and telling them, being a customer and telling somebody thank you or holding a door for somebody.
I know that the people are shocked by that shit.
And I've been holding doors for people since, you know, since I was a little kid back in North Carolina.
You know, just being cordial with people.
And people find it so shocking.
But when someone has that shocking look on your face when you say, like, thank you, you have a nice day, and you're the customer, they always look like a deer in the headlights.
They don't even know what to say, because usually people are rude as fuck, or they just won't say nothing to you.
They act like you're, like, some kind of peasant or something.
So, no, I totally get what you're saying when you're doing something that's completely, what would you consider, out of the norm, but it ain't supposed to be something that's out of the norm.
It's supposed to be normal.
What's going on now with people reacting to where they are, that's abnormal, actually, to me.
Thanks.
What's up, Leslie?
How are you doing today?
What is up, everybody?
It's one of them days.
It's one of them days?
Yeah.
Why?
What's wrong?
Talk to me.
I talk back.
I was trying to take a nap, and then my phone was blowing up.
Why?
Because I was tired, and then my daughter's trying to pick up dinner, so she's like, pick up your phone, pick up your phone.
And once I'm woken up from a nap, and then I come to Twitter, and I was like, oh, shit.
Six is episode C, so I was meant to be woken up.
Yeah, I was.
If not, I would have been sleeping right now, and you would have been like.
Wake your game up.
I would have been.
I would have been.
You would have been in everybody else's category.
Yeah, you would have been texting me later, like, what the fuck, you know?
No, I wouldn't text nothing.
I wouldn't text nothing.
I would have been like, fudge.
So, it was, it was, I thank my daughter for waking me up and harassing me, asking what's for dinner.
So, I'm not going to ask you.
I'm going to ask at the end.
Hold on, let me write that down.
No, ask.
You said you're direct.
Don't ask Leslie nothing about food until after dark.
He said he's direct, right, boss?
Yes, I'm writing it down right now.
Yeah, right.
I'm writing it down.
It's the recorded space, okay?
Yeah, yeah, that's what I'm writing it down.
Yeah, Leslie.
It's the recorded space, Leslie.
Oh, I thought he was going to ask questions, just like regular questions.
I am.
Yeah, but.
For you, that is a regular question.
He's catching me when I'm half asleep.
All right.
How many people?
So, what's up, Brie?
How are we doing, Brie?
I see only Bitcoin, MJ.
Oh, she left.
Damn.
Solely.
Solely sold.
Man, you know, we got people from Solana in here.
How many people, like, let's say on average from, you know, 100%, you know what I mean?
It's like, how many people do y'all think in the urban communities know what crypto is?
I would say probably about 5% to 10%.
Yeah, I'd say 5%.
Okay.
Yeah, honestly, I have to say that one, too.
Because there's no way it's a lot.
Okay.
Why is that?
It's everywhere.
Well, people have to like this.
I mean, is it really?
I think there might be a little misconception of it's everywhere.
Everybody knows about it.
Because we're in this space, you know, we're submerged in this space daily, whether we come
on it in the morning, in the afternoon, at night.
But if you really, and I have a lot of friends that are in the banking industry, too.
So they're in the banking industry.
So you would also think that they were up to date, you know, as to what's going on with
the crypto.
And they might know of it or a little bit up to a certain extent, but they really don't
know.
And when I talk to some of them, I don't talk to them daily, but when every now and then
they check in on me and, you know, Ms. Crypto Mom, Brenda, and they're like, oh my gosh, what
are you guys doing?
What is that?
Can you tell us a little bit more about it?
And, you know, even when we go to our Facebook or when we, when I get together with them to
go have brunch or whatnot, they really don't know about it.
And these are people that work within the banking industry that you would think that they
would know.
Okay.
I'm going to make some context about that.
Go ahead, Jonathan.
Jonathan.
I will say technically it is everywhere because me coming over here and being on the east side,
they got billboards about Bitcoin.
I mean, they got a Bitcoin machine at Crest around here.
Like, as a matter of fact, the, the, the part, the, the bus stop bench that probably, I don't
know, 20 feet up from my property, literally the, the back of the bench that you sit on says,
this was made by chat GPT.
So it's literally everywhere.
It's just that it's the same equivalent to me as if someone doesn't know the language and
they go somewhere and they don't know the language.
So they don't know what they're looking for.
If you don't know the language, it's the same thing with what we do.
It's a different language to people.
And if people, you know, aren't looking it up, they maybe see it kind of on the news about
something occasionally or something like that.
It doesn't make them want to look into it.
So then when they go out into the real world, it's literally all around them everywhere.
And they're not even going to see it because they don't even know what they looking for.
So, yeah, I don't think people are really looking into it, but I also believe that it is
everywhere around you.
Now, it's just people do not know what they're looking, what to look for at all is, is what
I'm from my own personal experience living around here, you know, in the, on the east
side or the hood or whatever.
I think the media like propaganda, like every time they speak about it, like every time I
see it, it's in a negative light.
So I think it makes people not want to, uh, not want to look into it and find out what's
going on.
But I think that's just like propaganda to keep people asleep.
You know what I mean?
Uh, I was watching Power.
I was catching up on Power the other day.
I know six you're going to be watching TV and shit like this.
So I'm watching the latest episodes of Power and bro, they had, they talked about crypto
and Power, but the way they talked about it was, it was like a rug this dude had.
He was like, Oh, he's trying to get me to invest in his crash coin.
And then the dude, Braden, he ended up taking the coin and using it to, to, as a drug front.
But, and that's my second time seeing it like on an urban TV show and they talking about
it in a bad light.
You know what I mean?
So it's like, okay, I see what's going on right there.
They don't really want people to wake up because I knew what crypto was in 2016.
I was buying Bitcoin.
I knew what, how to buy it and I knew what I was using it for.
I was doing it for, for some online shit, but I didn't know what it was.
And then once I seen it and everywhere, I was seeing it everywhere, but I still wasn't
looking into it.
It took for like six, my homie to sit me down and tell me what it is to make me like, Oh,
okay, this was going on.
So I think that's what it is.
So I think like probably 5% know like what it is, but everybody else see it and just pay
no attention to it.
Cause it don't mean nothing to them right now.
Cause it's not as they don't have to use it in their everyday life right now.
And I feel like that's how they going to do people.
And then the minute you do need it in your everyday life, it's going to be too late.
Yeah, it's going to be unreachable for a lot of people and that is something that
in the urban communities, we don't, uh, most of the urban communities, we're not living
everybody trying to get by day to day.
Nobody's thinking about what they doing.
Not even in the next week.
Like that's how it is, bro.
In the hood, in the urban community, you're living day to day, hour to hour.
You're not even, so you're not even, even if you do see something, you're like, ah, they
saying it's going to, this is what it's going to be in 10 years.
Nobody, they don't give a fuck.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like, so I just think 5% know what it is and the Reds probably see it, but just think
none of it.
So that's why you need more people like six that's going around to the hood, teaching
this in the cities because they taught me some shit.
I was seeing him and honest, I was watching them do it and I wasn't.
This is what?
Three, four years ago, bro.
I'm like, okay, they in the crypto shit, which is cool.
But I wouldn't just, and he'll be telling me like, bro, you need to get on this, but
I'm not thinking it because I'm in the hood and shit.
I'm just straight doing, that's why I need people to understand six on boarded me from
the gutter.
You know what I'm saying?
Like motherfuckers got to understand, bro.
Like these people ain't going, they going to the bottom of what nobody would go to try
to teach this shit.
You know what I mean?
Like, so it just, I understand how it cannot be, how people not catching on and they just
need more people to talk about it.
You know what I mean?
I need three boxes.
They need, they need more leaders in the community.
Like, okay, no, no disrespect, a regular, you can be sharp.
You can be fucking a million.
Now you can be sharp, intelligent.
You can't go to where I'm from and teach them about crypto.
But if you teach me, I got enough fluence to where if I go tell them, they going to
listen to it.
Cause they listen to all the other shit I've said over the years.
You know what I mean?
So I think it's just, we don't have the right people that's in the urban communities with
enough influence to make people want to listen to it.
I agree with that boss.
Everything that you have said.
And I think right now too, it's like, if you really do research about the people, even
ask people, people, I don't think right now are even confident in what crypto is and,
or completely understand it.
And I think that is such a big, huge thing that you said as well.
It's, we need more education on what it is and we need people that are willing to do
that.
And in being in the space a while now, and I've heard it in other spaces where people
even say, you know, it's not my job to educate people and people should do their own research.
People should understand it.
But in reality, it does take education.
That is such a big part of stimulating people's mind and getting them into the space, teaching
them about it.
Otherwise, you know, we're still going to be in that place where it's like in that pendulum
where we're going back and forth and people still really are having difficulties understanding.
But the problem is, it's not a problem because I really don't care.
It's an area of opportunity.
I'm very passionate when it comes down to it because I'm tired of people just talking.
I'm tired of people talking about it.
People don't really want to help.
A lot of people don't.
No, they really don't, Six.
They really don't.
90% of the people that want to help and don't want to fucking help, don't want to do shit
about it.
They just want to run their mouth.
They just want to sound good on the tweet.
They just want to sound good on the space.
People are like, bro, you be coming at, man, I just heard it the other day, like you're coming
at these people too strong.
I'm like, nah, fuck them.
You're trying to, like, anyone that's trying to use the ghetto, the inner cities, anybody
that's trying to use the urban community as a cloud, as a brownie points, and people,
I literally had this comment.
Somebody called me.
We was talking to that.
He's like, man, when you're coming at these people, bro, sometimes you're being too strong.
They're not going to.
I don't give a fuck.
You're either going to accept me for who I am, and I'm strong about it because I'm passionate
about it.
I'm tired of people trying to use this fuck, the ghetto, the inner cities where I come
from, like, that's where my heart is.
I'm tired of people trying to use it in order to get brownie points for the people, for the
social media, for Instagram, for Twitter, for anything to be looking for their white friends.
Oh my God, I want to help the community.
So do it.
Quit talking about it.
Like, quit fucking talking about it.
People just talk about it.
I see it on Twitter all the time.
Like, I'm tired of it.
Like, I'm really, like, out of everybody, this whole time I've been doing this shit, like,
like, Bob just said, man, bro, we come from the gutter.
It's like, bro, didn't know shit about it.
And I've been, bro, you need to, you need to get on this, bro.
Like, you really need to, man, you know, but when you're moving fast, you're moving fast.
You know what I mean?
And that's the thing.
We go into places that people don't go to.
Sometimes the people need a pioneer.
Yes, you say that you're tired, but sometimes it takes that one.
I'm not tired of doing it, though.
I'm not.
Hold on.
I'm tired here to get out there.
Yeah, that's what we call we could.
That's what we call.
I'm not saying you.
I'm just saying you in general.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because you need that pioneer to get out there and show people what they're doing.
Show the world.
Show this.
I've been doing them.
No, just the thing.
Continue to show it and show it and show it.
It's not going to take once.
It's not going to take twice.
It's not going to take three times.
It's going to take multiple times before somebody catches on and be like, oh, crap.
You know, somebody is already spearheading that.
Let's get out there.
It's going to take a lot of times.
Oh, I already know.
People catch on.
All right, listen.
Yeah.
Yes.
It's going to take a lot of time.
Like, I've been doing it for a few years now.
But that's the thing.
It's going to take a lot of time.
I really understand what I'm saying.
I'm tired.
I'm tired of hearing people talk.
You're tired of the imposters, basically.
I'm tired of the motherfucking pretenders, not contenders.
You know what I mean?
It's a whole bunch of just imposters.
That's what I'm tired of.
It's like people just be like, oh, my God.
Like, it's so great what you do.
I'm telling you.
I just went through this.
This is a big influencer in this space.
He happened to run into one of my friends.
He didn't know it was my friend.
Like, my friend does not know nothing about Web3.
He don't want nothing.
But he has a lot of connections in the celebrity world, out of the country.
So this guy approached him and was like, hey, man, can we somebody introduce him?
He was like, hey, oh, I heard, you know, some princes.
I heard, you know, some celebrities.
Can you introduce me to them?
Oh, this is what I'm all you in crypto.
So I got my friend into this.
And he's like, oh, yeah, that's what's up.
So you know how you blow things off.
So they talking one day like, man, I'm trying to do so many things for the urban community.
Like, you just want to sound cool in front of somebody.
Right.
I just want to do so many things for the urban communities.
I just want to.
Do it.
But then it's like and then when the when the opportunity person itself is like, OK, there is people that's really doing it, not talking about it, not nothing.
It's just like, no, we've been we was doing this shit before we was on Twitter.
And before and before we was even into Web3, I've been, you know, in mentorship, motherfuckers in the hood.
Like the kids, when it comes down to different shit, when it comes to the homeless, when it comes to giving back, that's something I've been doing for very, very since I came home.
People don't understand.
I met six giving back.
I met six.
Six pulled up the way I met six.
And I'm going to tell the truth on this space.
I was in the hood, man.
I'm talking about never going.
I'm in the hood.
I met six.
One of my homeboys called me like, hey, I got friends from out of town, such and such need to come meet him.
He put six pulled up in the hood, like right next to the project, like he trying to donate six pull up in a big ass U-Haul truck.
I thought he was moving to the hood.
I'm like, what the fuck he doing?
This big ass fucking yellow, like yellow U-Haul truck.
And then he opened a truck and it's a bunch of shit.
I'm like, God damn, like this dude pulled over probably, man, it's probably at least that shit was a minimum $5,000 worth of shit.
And he took it to Prince Jim.
And that's in our hood.
And that's what they did to give away and donated all this shit to the people who was, I think it was like during the storm or something.
And six just pulled over all this shit.
It was during Hurricane Harvey.
Six pulled over all this shit in the back of the truck.
So my homie called me to pull up, you know, to be there because he in the hood and shit.
I'm like, man, I pull over six.
No shirt on.
I'm a hood in the motherfucker.
I pull up.
Hey, what's up, bro?
We talking.
Boom, we get it done.
Unload the truck.
Get all the shit to the kids.
Nobody knows about that.
Nothing was recorded.
Didn't record shit.
Wasn't no tax write-off.
Been doing shit like that.
During the storm.
In boats.
In the hood.
Giving shit away.
I remember we had some backpacks.
You probably forgot about this one.
He was like, bro, I want to give these backpacks away every year.
And he was like, who you know want backpacks?
I put it on my Instagram.
And everybody was hitting me up.
Oh, I need the backpack.
And I'm going to take five kids and give them like a full whatever they want.
Like for school.
I forgot about those.
I remember getting those backpacks.
Going to my hood.
And I gave it away.
I had some shoes for some kids.
And these women was crying.
Like, thank you.
And I'm like, man, it really came from my homie.
He never said record it.
Put it on Instagram.
We never recorded these people.
People don't know nothing about it.
So when I hear people that be talking and talk, like, oh, yeah, it's a lot of imposters, man.
Like, y'all just doing it for – it's nothing wrong with recording it.
Don't get me wrong.
Because I do believe you can't record a good deed because you record bad deeds.
So why not?
But a lot of people that talk about it, they never went to the hood.
They never took feet.
They never put their feet on the concrete and went to the inner cities and helped nobody.
You got to show me that you do it.
Don't just get on Instagram because you got all these followers and you're a big-ass influencer
and you're talking a talk that a motherfucker want to hear.
Let me see you do it because I know people that's been doing it.
I got a friend of mine that died July 12th, Sean.
Every year, me, him, and four other people used to donate to my cousin.
He had a Christian program, and they were giving away every year back to kids in need.
And he'll come to us in the hood.
Hey, I'm trying to give away to these kids.
All y'all give me $500.
And it'll be 10 of us.
We'll give them $500.
Been doing that for years.
We've been doing that for the last six, seven years.
Like, never told nobody about it.
Like, this type of shit been going on.
So that's the only thing I don't like.
When I hear all these imposters, it'll be like, man, come on, man, you faking.
Like, I've never seen you.
You can't show me what you did today.
So that's just the thing.
We just need to weave out.
I'm here to weave out.
I'm looking for my kind.
I'm here to weave out the people that's bullshitting.
Like, if I know you're bullshitting, I don't care because you got your fancy suit on
and you got money and you got a lot of followers.
That shit don't mean nothing because the people, I saw some people in the hood,
they don't know what that means.
They only know what you're doing.
They got to see it to believe it.
You know what I mean?
Like, they got to actually see it to make them be like, oh, okay, it is really good.
It's really people out here doing good.
That's from the project.
And to be honest, a lot of people that I ran into,
once I was able to expand my mind outside of the ghetto,
a lot of the so-called supposed to be people that's not ghetto or not hood,
them was the most rotten motherfuckers I seen do more dirty shit than motherfuckers in the hood.
And I'm like, goddamn, these motherfuckers rock like everybody for theyself.
So that's just like, that's just the whole thing he's saying.
Like, bro, you just got to separate that shit.
And if I don't feel like you're right, I'm not going to fuck with you.
Like, simple as that.
That's why, and don't nobody like to approach.
Nobody wants to be called out on their bullshit.
You know what I mean?
It's like, soon when you say something, you can be a perfect person.
But if you do something somebody don't like,
they automatically don't like you no more.
Like, they take away all your accomplishments just because you said something they don't like.
You say something they don't like, then none of your accomplishments matter.
Nothing that you do matters because you don't like me.
It's not personal, man.
You know what I mean?
It's just, that's the shit.
Hey, y'all know how dope it is to be in a space, right?
And hear my partner talking.
Hey, this my bro is like, you know what I mean?
And it's like to see how far he done came.
And now, even when we get around each other, he'd be like, hey, bro, explain this to me.
Like, the other day, we riding.
When we went and checked out the park, where we going?
We went to the neighborhood.
He's like, bro, so, like, really asking about Web3 and, okay, with Bitcoin and then with this investment.
So, it's dope that we can have some ratchet conversations and some hood shit.
We can go turn up, but then we can also have some conversations that feed our minds.
So, to see my partner that grew so much and it's like, took a motherfucking long time to get around, but we got him around here now.
I be moving around and I see him jumping in spaces and shit, getting some good information.
That's dope.
How do I feel about the recording thing?
I be in a moment sometimes that I forget.
I feel like I need to have a cameraman around me.
I feel like you do need to record.
I used to feel some type of way about it.
I'd be like, we don't need to record nothing.
I used to, too.
I used to feel a way to record something.
Somebody broke it down to me.
Somebody broke it down to me.
I'm going to tell you when.
One of the turkeys, one of the time I did the turkeys, they were like, bro, the reason why you should record it is because you got people that love you and hate you.
When the people that love you see you do things like that properly, they're going to want to add on to it or do it themselves.
The people that hate you are going to see you do it and going to be like, oh, that motherfucker is doing that shit.
I'm going to do it, too, and probably going to do it bigger.
So who's getting the benefit?
The people anyways.
So it doesn't matter what reason you're doing it.
They're going to get the benefits.
But even for the conferences, bro, people get on my ass about it because it's like all these conferences we did, we only have so many videos and so many pictures because we'd be in a moment.
We'd be in a moment.
Hey, we sit down, man.
People start coming in.
Next thing you know, we're talking to people.
Hey, brother, what you need?
What's your name?
We're not thinking about the camera.
We're not thinking about content.
We need to.
Those are things because those are things where a lot of people be like, hey, what you doing?
That's why when I find certain videos or pictures and I put them in, oh, my God, that's cool.
I'm like, bro, I've been doing this shit for a long time.
We just, it's a big difference.
I'm going to do it.
Before Twitter, a lot of us didn't even have social media.
It took me so long to be on social media.
I wasn't, I used to be on and off social media.
But this is the thing.
I used to, I used to then like when people, I didn't understand it.
Like, why you record you giving this homeless person on?
Why you record this?
But then I had to think about it.
Okay, you record everything else.
You record your new watch, your new train, your new car.
You record your accomplishments.
You know what I mean?
So why not record it?
Because I'm okay.
Even if you're doing it for clout, even if you're recording it to get some likes, it don't take the fact away that you did it.
You know what I mean?
You did it and it's showing.
Because you did it.
And it might make somebody else want to do the same thing that they see you doing.
This next generation is going into social media.
So everything's digital.
So everything's digital.
You know what I mean?
So it's like, because I know some motherfuckers who talking about they're going to do it, who talking about they're going to do it, that never does shit.
So as long as you're doing it, I don't care what reason you did it for this.
As long as you're doing it because you still help those people.
If I'm homeless or if I'm hungry and you give me something to eat, I don't give a fuck why you gave it to me.
I don't care if you, I'm just happy you gave it to me.
You know what I mean?
Something you had said earlier, though.
I see your hand up, Jonathan.
My bad.
Oh, shit.
My bad.
My bad.
My bad.
Hold on.
I'm like, I guess we only didn't do hands in here.
Just keep it.
Man, look at Ant.
Look at Ant on top of things.
You know what I mean?
He paying attention.
Look at Ant on top of shit around here.
That's what I was going to say.
Go ahead.
I'm going to let Jonathan.
Go ahead, Jonathan.
I was like, well, I'm not going to jump in because I know they reminiscing over their accomplishments and things they like.
So I'm going to leave it alone.
No, no.
Y'all are completely right.
I'm going to be honest with you.
When I was working at my last job at Metro Appliances, people always looking at me, looking at charts on my phone and stuff and the brothers in there and they like, man, what are you doing?
So I'm trying to tell them because they ask me about it all the time and I'm not no like top trader.
I'm not even close to where I want to be, but they kept asking me questions.
So I started telling them things to look into and stuff like that.
And out of like 20 dudes, black brothers that was at work that was asking me about it every day, literally only one brother did it, was actually looking into it.
And he actually started investing in crypto, too, which now his life is getting better as well.
So it is crazy that you can put out like that much and talk to that many people.
And then percentage wise could be so small.
But at the end of the day, it only matters if you get one person, you know what I'm saying?
Because one person can lead to somebody else.
It gives it gives hope to know that there are more people that will be latching on.
But I'm going to be honest with you.
When I first got and learned about Forex trading, I had no idea that there were so many people, especially urban people that are actually out there doing it.
Like you may look at this person, see them with a gold grill and all the true like gangster looking stuff that they rock.
But it turns out they ain't in no gang.
They don't do no gang activity.
They don't do no crimes.
What they did was is they learned how to trade.
And that's where they made all their money from.
Now, they weren't squeaky clean before, but they learned how to take that money that they was making, put it into trading.
And then they don't do they don't do the other side no more.
They just straight 100 percent legit.
And I can respect that because I'm sorry you if you thrown, you know, scraps, you got to do something with it.
You can't just sit around and just be like, oh, I think I'm just going to hold these scraps.
You got to turn them scraps into something more.
So I respect y'all for what y'all what y'all doing.
And I do understand how people in this space do use it for clout and they never actually do anything with it.
That's the reason why they were doing all those, you know, coins that were doing charity.
But you never know what charity is being used for.
There's no paper trail to show you what charities is going to.
So it makes it all look a little sketchy for people just to, you know, give their money.
I want to make an announcement.
I'm dropping a coin for the charity.
The charity is called My Pockets.
That's what it be sounding like, bro.
Like they pocket and everything like they.
But I literally just told my brother this earlier.
Like the problem that I have with these people is this.
I've been doing this shit.
I've been doing it, been doing it before social media for many years.
I've been trying to tell my kids is like, I love, I'm a philanthropist.
So it's like, I love giving back.
Boom.
A lot of people that get like, let's say donation.
Boom.
They get, I don't care.
It doesn't matter.
A hundred dollars or a hundred thousand.
Boom.
They'll grab 80% of that and put it in their pocket.
They take 10% out of the 20 left and pay people that did the work.
And then the 10% they donate.
That's fucking sorry, bro.
Like you sorry as fuck.
Like you, and excuse my language.
No, don't fucking excuse my language.
I forgot this was my show.
God damn it.
You know, I'm going to talk however the fuck I want to talk around this motherfucker.
But what it be is, it's like, how do you, you got to look at yourself in a fucking mirror,
man.
Like, like that you're a horrible person.
Like you're a horrible person.
It's okay to make money.
Like don't get it twisted in order to be sustainable.
Like you have to make some money somewhere around the way.
Things got to, they got to make sense.
Shit got to make sense, you know.
But these people just stop using shit for, for cloud or for use or for doing.
Because that's the thing.
They don't even do it.
Like if they was talking about it and doing it for views or for engagement, at least you're
doing it.
But they just talk about it.
I hear, and I call it out every time, bro.
Like I say, I always say, I have the voice that don't hurt, man.
And it never going to stop.
You can't cancel me because I don't care.
What you eat don't make me shit.
I've been, I've been, I've been having, I've been having money.
I've been having connections.
It's like I'm from the streets, but I'm not in the streets.
I'm tapped in.
We still, yeah, we still be talking.
We still be moving around.
But when it comes to the living wise, it's different.
My kids got raised different.
You know, I'm a single father for those that don't know.
I'm still, my kids just graduated.
So it's like, but people is different.
I got different kinds of friends and many avenues because I have an open mind.
People don't have an open mind.
You can't just, and one thing that I will never accept is, I am not radical.
I'm radical when it comes to what I believe in and with good intentions.
Being too radical will handicap yourself.
I'm never going to be like, I only need a certain demographic of people to support me in the journey of doing more for the people.
That's impossible.
You need everybody.
You need a community.
And what I mean, community is not this social media, web three community.
You need, you need everybody.
You need a big community in order to help the communities.
The kids, when they could, can't be the only ones helping the hood, even though we the ones that's doing it.
The white people can.
The black folks can't just, can't be like, oh, we just get all the black people on Twitter and let's get it together.
You can.
You got, it's everybody.
Regardless of how we feel, you need everybody.
Somebody, everybody needs somebody at one point in time.
Can no one, can no one stand nowhere and be like, I did this by myself?
No, you didn't.
No, you didn't.
No one does nothing alone.
Because if you can accomplish your dreams by yourself, you don't drink big enough.
That's 100%.
Because I can pick up this fucking chair and throw it.
I can't go pick up a bike.
I can't go pick up that fridge and throw it by myself.
So the bigger that anything in my mind is, any goal or anybody, you're going to need more people.
And it might not be financially help.
It might not be physical help.
Someone along the way of your successful life gave you some advice.
Someone along the way might have told you, hey, brother, listen, this is what, somewhere, everybody, the problem is people get, you get to doing good for so long that you forget what bad is.
Nah, we can't get comfortable.
And that's the thing.
I'm going to call it out, bro.
That's why a lot of people, I didn't have people that DM people that know me like, man, I don't like six.
Why?
Because, man, he just be just too much.
How?
Go get less.
If I'm too much, go get less.
Go, go, go to tune into it, motherfucker.
Other Twitter.
What the fuck is this?
What are we doing?
Like, this is not even entertainment, bro.
You yelling.
Are you OK?
They, like, blink three times.
Give me some fast emojis if you're not OK.
You know what I mean?
For anybody here, whenever you're not OK, just go in the motherfucker and just do this.
You know what I mean?
And then I'm going to know you're not OK.
This is your SOS.
Fuck.
I don't know how to do it.
I know you don't.
I'm going to teach you later.
I was trying the other day.
I've been trying.
I've been trying.
I was about to say, don't forget to check you down there.
Bro, I just learned.
Yeah, I see.
I was just going to say, I see, Sha, you got your hand up.
I'm going to learn how to do that shit one day.
What's up, Sha?
Yeah, man, my arm tied.
Anyways, man, y'all.
Oh, nah, nah, nah, nah.
You know what I'm saying?
That's a lot of good shit.
I wanted to kind of piggyback off a few things and tie two things together that I feel like
are really important.
First of all, when it comes to community outreach and doing shit in your community, it's a civic
duty of ours as members of our community.
You know what I'm saying?
Just like it's our duty to raise our kids right as parents, right?
Like, that's our civic duty to our community, real shit.
Like, if we see a need in our community, especially young men, we're supposed to go out and feel
that role in some form or fashion, you know?
And too often you see groups of young men that don't have no organization, no strength, no
nothing.
They don't have no plans, no goals, no way to even implement that if they had that.
So, it's really important that we have people like y'all teaching leadership.
I see Coach Turby down there, a real great mentor and leader, and I've actually been
able to learn a lot from him.
But like Jonathan said about a lot of guys who watch you do certain things, and you may
only get one person to be able to, but that one person can go on to do great things.
Like, bruh, y'all just don't know how important that's been in my life.
If it wasn't for one person bringing me into Web3, there are so many other people I know
that wouldn't have even known, nothing about knowing this shit.
So, you know, the impact of one, it goes a long way.
It goes a long way.
But as far as like doing good things in your community and recording all that shit, I get
Sometimes like, it's an image rehabilitation thing for me.
When I do good things, hell yeah, I'm going to post about it.
Well, so my POC that shit, along with all the other bullshit I've done in the past,
like she know about, okay, well, see this.
Look at this, right?
You know, and then it also changes the persona, public perception you may have developed.
So for me, I kind of developed a menacing perception in my local community.
And that's not what I want as a grown adult.
I really don't.
So I've worked really hard to try and show out.
Like when there's a need in my community, I'm going to show up.
I'm going to do something, you know.
So because I feel like it's my duty now, you know.
I owe it to myself.
I owe it to my children and everything.
So, yeah.
And for those that don't know, man, that's a great motherfucker point.
For those that don't know, on the top of the title, when you see the bag, B-A-G, it's
not a coin.
It's build that generation.
You know what I mean?
That's just something that I be saying is build a generation.
You know, man, it's something that we all need to do.
But I'm going to reset the room real quick.
Make sure you retweet.
Send it to your friends.
Send it to your groups, man.
Don't be stingy.
Rest in peace, man.
Rest in peace.
Young Hatch.
This is one of the young brothers, man, that we lost too early, man, with a lot of talent,
man.
And, you know, we just got to make sure he's never forgotten.
I just reached like I ain't losing none of my niggas to it, but it hurt when you be
sitting down going through it.
Nobody ever know the pain and what you overcame.
Ain't had no guidance growing up, so who else should I blame?
My first decision was a pistol or a drug life.
I chose the feeling I got caught up in that thug life.
Never burn none of my bridges over troubled water.
Don't take commands or shake no hands.
I'm only giving orders.
Shook off anything I ever lost to make it back.
Cellgates feel like the trenches never break a rat.
Watch my dog count 20,000, never stole a dollar.
While I live the time, I ain't have shit, I'm loyal to my partners.
Being real don't get you rich and only serve you problem.
Sometimes I look up at the stars for help inside the bottom.
I shit till sleep in the park, cold ice with no blanket.
Had demons fighting off all my angels, left that bar I stankin'.
Can't ride the wave, I'm out the gym without no basket.
Welcome to From the Block to the Blockchain, man.
With just different topics, we just break it down in different ways.
So today we're talking about, well, you know, community outreach.
Talk about a bunch of shit today.
It's a whole lot of things I wanted to talk about trading.
We're just getting started.
Some trading, some investing.
We have some good traders here.
You know what I mean?
So it's just, you know, some good information.
They're going to stay here that we'll be able to send to people.
I got questions.
Dime, I need you to come up.
I got questions for Dime.
I don't even drink beer, bro.
I'm about to drink a beer.
Dime is busy right now.
You about to drink a dose second, bro?
I'm making a little ultra.
I'm drinking a cold.
Six don't even drink beer.
So for him to drink a beer today, he's in one of those.
He got it on his mind.
I'm on my motherfucking bullshit.
I got something in my mind.
There's something in my heart that I got to let it be known.
So I got, you know, I got notes.
You drink the beer, and I'll join you with a pineapple margarita.
Oh, no, no, no.
Listen, do not start that bullshit until like 8 o'clock, okay?
It's 7 o'clock.
We'll start an hour early.
Oh, my goodness.
One margarita.
So, hold on.
I need to Dime.
One margarita so she can finish it.
Two margarita.
Three margarita.
Okay.
Buy her one margarita.
She will spread her legs.
When I heard it, I said, this sounds like a rap song.
Give me a beat, Kev.
This sounds like a rap song.
Here we go.
Ay, ay.
Give me one margarita.
I'm going to open my legs.
Give me two margaritas.
I'm going to give you some eggs.
Give me three margaritas.
I'm going to put it in my puss.
Give me four margaritas.
I'm going to put it in my tush.
Give me five margaritas.
I'm going to have some fun.
Give me five margaritas.
All right.
Whoa.
Whoa.
I knew that was Stackey, wasn't it?
That was Stackey.
She was.
What's up, Stackey?
And Dime.
I appreciate y'all coming through.
Welcome to the block to the blockchain.
I got questions.
I got questions.
I got a bath and I'm tired as fuck.
What's up?
I'm in there my night.
I just came to throw a heart and you pulled me up to the stage.
What's up, man?
Oh, no.
I'm not.
You handle your business.
I had, like, serious questions.
And I know you don't sound like you want to hear serious questions.
Not really, but I'll try to go ahead.
I'm like.
Okay.
When it comes down to trading.
All right.
When it comes down to trading for the traders here, what are certain good things?
Like, what is it called?
Paper trading?
Where people can start?
Like, what is step one?
So, you have three different markets.
You have the traditional stock market.
You have the crypto market.
And you have the Forex market.
Okay.
Traditional stock market opens for nine hours.
Forex is 20.
Crypto is 24-7.
Forex is 24-7.
So, for someone who wants complete.
You can trade stocks on the Forex market as well.
Like, indices and stuff like that.
So, there's platforms that offer paper trading on all three markets.
Okay.
For crypto, I would recommend Bing X.
They have demo trading.
How do you spell that?
B-I-N-G-X.
There's an app.
It doesn't require KYC.
For Forex trading, download MetaTrader 5.
MetaTrader 4 is the older version.
MetaTrader 5 is the newer version with a better system.
And you can just go on the settings in the bottom right corner and just open an account where you use your name, your email, and your number.
And it will open an account and you choose the balance that you want and the leverage that you want.
And that opens a demo account for you.
And for traditional stocks, if you're in America, you can just use Weibo.
W-E-B-E-U-L-L.
And they have demo trading there too.
So, those are demo accounts for all three markets.
Do I recommend trading demo?
100%.
Because you get familiar, you familiarize yourself with the market, obviously.
The leverage, how much you should be risking.
You can plan your risk management really well with it.
But ultimately, to be a long-term profitable trader, because there's so much psychology in play with it, you need to use your real money.
You won't know what it feels like to really win or really lose unless you actually have capital at stake.
And psychology is a huge, huge aspect of trading.
So, you know, anyone can learn technical analysis and fundamentals and develop strategies on a demo account.
Alright, question.
When you say on a traditional, you say it's W-E-what?
W-E-B-U-L-L.
Okay.
They're all apps, so you can just download them straight to your home.
Okay.
So, do you trade from your phone?
I place trades on my phone.
I do my analysis at my desk.
And then the app that I use for my analysis is Trading View.
T-R-A-D.
Trading and then View, but one word.
And then that's linked to my phone as well.
So, anything I do to my charts at my desk pops up on my phone too.
And I move around a lot during the day.
I'm always around.
So, I execute on my phone.
I close my trades on my phone.
When I was trading stocks and options, I was doing it on my computer, everything.
But with crypto and Forex, the easiest way to execute is through the phone, especially if you're a swing trader.
Okay.
How do you...
Wait, let me go.
Let me go back on what one thing Donna says.
Okay.
Let's do it.
She's international too.
So, she named Weeble.
So, what I always suggest is Weeble is good to get started for sure, 100%.
But a lot of people who have like 401ks and accounts already and are familiar with Schwab, TD Ameritrade, and all these other brokerages, TD Ameritrade has Thinkorswim.
And they have a paper trading platform.
Thinkorswim is good.
Thinkorswim is really good.
We can't get it in your house.
Okay.
Now, for y'all, how would you fund...
How do you put money?
Like, let's say somebody brand new.
Let's say a kid, a young adult.
He feels like, okay, I want to learn how to trade.
Okay.
So, he listening to this.
He writing his things down.
Like I say, I told y'all last week, I'm going to ask questions that a normal person asks.
Yeah, of course.
When y'all go through things, like I understand it.
A lot of us understand it, but it be things that like people really don't even pause to be like, hey, what is this?
Okay.
So, now, so boom, let's say a kid got a couple of thousand dollars and be like, I want to start trading.
He listened to this.
He starts saying, okay, so where is like step one?
Like, how do he put...
Let's say he got $2,000 cash.
You're talking about a kid.
Is this somebody under 18?
Under 18 or 16.
No, 18 years old.
Let's say 18.
I was going to say they need a custodial account.
Custodial account for 18.
Okay, so let's say 18-year-old, he got 2,000 cash.
It's cash money in his hand that he wants to do.
He puts it in a bank and does a wire.
He don't have a bank.
What can he do?
If he doesn't have a bank, he can give it cash to someone who has a cash app.
Okay.
And they can buy Bitcoin for him.
And he can send that Bitcoin over to the Bing exchange and trade with it over there.
If he has a bank, then link the bank to the account.
If he has a bank, put the money in the bank and then do a wire transfer.
Okay.
Just log into the app or log into the website.
Can you use a credit card to buy it?
More than with crypto?
Yes.
With Forex?
Yes.
With stocks, traditionally, you can't just add money.
It needs to be a wire transfer.
Okay.
All right.
And if he can't, there's lots of online banks.
I'm not sure if they have them in America.
But in Europe, there's banks that only exist online and you can easily get one with just your ID.
You just sign up for a bank and produce your ID and they'll send your card within five days.
I have lots of these type of banks for different stuff that I do in my life.
So for ease, if I need to send $2,000, $3,000 to this account, I'll just switch between them.
Okay.
All right.
Now for you.
There are some apps that you can use.
They're like market stimulators that I know my daughter used to use.
I don't know exactly which ones before she actually got into trading real money.
I know one of them is called eToro, like E-T-O-R-O.
E-Toro is already also a brokerage.
Yes.
And then Thinkorswim.
Thinkorswim is good.
There's TradeStation.
And then there's NinjaTrader and MarketWatch.
NinjaTrader doesn't have demo.
Neither does MarketWatch.
They don't.
They don't.
Okay.
They're good though because you can trade features in there.
What about the pilot training?
What about pilot trading?
I haven't heard of pilot trading.
A lot of exchanges that do have demos, they don't offer good spreads.
Or they don't replicate real life environment.
So what you're trading is, it'll kind of be a shock to when you're actually trading with
your real money.
So which one would be closest to that?
Like for them to start practicing?
Like the eToro one and the Thinkorswim?
eToro, Thinkorswim.
And Webull and the platforms that I mentioned before.
Okay.
Now.
So, okay.
We got that down.
Boom, boom.
Now they trading.
Robinhood.
What?
And that is the one they put in their face.
It does.
And if you have crypto on Robinhood, it is not your crypto.
You do not have access to it.
You do not have the keys.
Send it out.
Lock your stuff up.
Now they have the option.
Cash it out and send it.
Oh, you can send it out.
Yeah.
Send it out to an actual centralized or decentralized exchange.
So now I have a question.
Boom.
Well, I got a lot of questions, but I'm going to keep on asking.
Now.
So, okay.
So the person, boom, he got the money.
He got the 2,000.
Boom.
He put the 2,000.
Now it's like, okay, I got all these websites.
Then what?
Because there are different ways of trading, right?
Yeah.
So you can buy shares.
So one share of Tesla is whatever the price is.
One share of Google is whatever the price.
And you're predicting that the price is going to go up over a certain amount of time.
You can just buy them, hold them, and sell them.
And you buy shares of something called common stock.
Are you talking, we talking about common stock?
Yeah.
We talking about everything.
Okay.
So you buy, boom.
To keep it simple.
So what do you call that, that, that, that, that way of trade, trading?
That would just be stock trading.
Okay.
Boom.
All right.
Because then what is swim trading?
Okay.
Swing trading.
Swing trading is, is just the style of trading.
It's when you hold, when you open a trade and you hold it anywhere between hours, days, weeks,
months, years.
Okay.
Boom.
There you go.
All right.
Bad.
And then you have, on the opposite side of that, you have scalping.
And that can range between opening a position for just a minute and closing.
You see scalping?
Scalping.
Go through them all, Dom.
Go through scalping, day trading.
So what, like, like, you know what I mean?
Like, we're taking somebody's head off?
Yeah.
Basically.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
So tell me what's going on.
Tell me what's going on.
Scalping, you'll be in a position as very, very short.
What is being in a position?
So opening, opening a position on either side.
A purchase, a purchase.
Okay.
So you pretty much start in a trade when you first start.
Boom.
That's opening.
When you have an open trade.
And before we keep going, I invited PB in here since you mentioned.
And then for those that just got here, hello.
Under AT.
Welcome to the blockchain.
I'm just letting y'all know.
Like, I got questions.
The reason why I got questions is because for us, like, okay, I can understand all of that.
And then, you know, stop losses.
When we all talk, like, Web3, people tend to forget that there is many people that's going to come through here.
They don't understand shit that we're saying, even though it's so simple.
So that's why I put it last week.
I said, okay, I want to talk about a little bit of trade and investment.
I want to talk about a few things.
Last week, we talked about budgeting and things.
But I'm going to ask the questions to try to break it down in every aspect.
I'm thinking, you know, I'm going to make it entertainment, you know.
And, you know, I appreciate that dime.
What happened with you?
I invited PB in here.
So he's somebody who represents kids, not kids, but, you know, under the age of 18, starting custodial.
I mean, yeah, starting account.
So he's in here.
PB, request that for me, please.
Okay.
All right.
So go ahead, dime.
So, okay, once you start to trade, once you open your position, then what?
So you've got an open position.
We spoke about swing trading.
Scalping, you're typically in a position anywhere from a minute to 5, 10, 15 minutes.
An hour.
Why?
An hour, two hours.
Because you're trying to make money off the volatility.
Okay.
If you're predicting that whatever you're trading is going to have a big move up or down within a certain time frame, maybe five minutes, you're quickly in and out.
You've made your money, you're out.
But if, let's say, you're trading something like gold, which is a commodity, and there's going to be news impacting it within the next week, anything about reserves or USD type of news, then that would typically be a swing trade.
You get it at a certain price and you're predicting it to make a slow move up to the price that you want it to be at.
Okay.
I appreciate that.
I appreciate that.
And now, so that's the style of trading.
How many other styles of trading there are?
I mean, there's scalping, intraday trading, swing trading, and then just investing where you just buy, hold, and sell at the end of the couple of months or years.
Okay.
Go ahead, Staki.
I would kind of say, I would, let me see, because I would probably say that maybe even day trading is different than scalping because scalps are like smaller.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, you can scalp intraday and you're just spending your nine hours in the market in and out, in and out, in and out.
Okay.
You can trade three, four positions within that nine hour time frame.
And that would be intraday.
You're looking, probably using the time frame between the one hour and two hour and four hour time frame.
And that gives you two, three candles with lots of price movement in between for you to be in and out of position.
So that would be intraday trading.
Okay.
So then you have, you also have people that, they make money when the market is going down and when the market is going up.
So they long and then they short.
Yeah.
So there's two ways to play the market.
If there's obviously a long position and a short position, you're predicting the price is going down, you get in a short position.
You're predicting the market is going up, you get in a long position.
And you predict those, but based on, based on your analysis, market analysis and the news based on news.
Yep.
Okay.
All right.
So you pretty much gambling.
No, no, it's not, it's not a gamble.
It's not, it's not a gamble, but you bet.
You bet.
It's like a bet.
I bet that we'll go down to go ahead.
Go ahead.
PB, what's going on?
Yo, what's up guys?
Thanks for inviting me though.
I'll just pitch in my knowledge here.
You know, the only thing that differentiates trading from gambling is using calculated risk.
So if you don't have at least a one to two risk reward in every single one of your trades, in my opinion, then it's gambling because it's a coin flip every single time.
But, you know, say if you do a coin flip, you're going to win at least say four to 10 times.
And if you win at least four to 10 times, you can still be profitable if you have a proper risk reward.
So say, you know, you're losing 15% every trade, that means you have to win at least 30% every trade.
And you have to have that by having a stop loss and take profit.
But that's ultimately the only way to calculate your risk and be profitable.
Okay.
PB, I got a couple of questions for you.
So you're 16 years old, right?
Yeah, I just turned 16.
How long have you been trading?
Happy birthday.
How long have you been trading?
Three years.
Okay, so since you was 13, how did you start?
Well, in the beginning of quarantine, I was just, I've always, you know, been looking for ways to make money.
I've always been a hustler as a kid.
And then I started, you know, COVID started.
I was like, man, how can I find ways to make money?
I started doing dropshipping.
I made a little bit of money and then it just wasn't for me.
It stopped.
And one day I was just scrolling on TikTok and then I found a video of this kid making a ton of money trading.
And I was like, yo, that's sick.
Like, when I went on YouTube, I watched videos that whole night.
And that really kind of, ever since then, I fell in love with trading.
I asked my parents about it.
They supported me to, you know, trade.
And they even hooked me up with somebody.
And he told me to download Twitter and follow all these guys.
And then I actually started in the penny stock market, which I don't trade anymore.
But that's kind of how I started.
Okay.
So for a kid, you know, between 13 and 17 years old, if they approach you and they'd be like, hey, I want to start trading.
And how do I get started?
First things first, I think I'll give you a starter pack.
So if you're a kid and you want to start trading, first things first, I'd say is you shouldn't start with real money.
It's a mistake I made.
I lost a lot of my own money in the beginning.
But obviously, it's all about learning from your mistakes and trial and error.
So first, I had to get a mentor.
If you want, you could, you know, I'm opening up a program next week to help kids and everyone learn how to trade.
Something like that.
It can be anyone's program.
You just need a mentor, someone that you can look up to.
Next, I'd say trial and error and learning from your mistakes.
But you can do something called paper trading, which is basically fake money trading.
So you can test out your strategies and back test.
But ultimately, you have to accept the risk that you're going to lose money.
So when you lose money, though, you have to feel as the fact that this is market tuition.
Like you go to college, you pay money to learn a skill.
It takes a doctor years and years and hundreds of thousands of dollars to become a doctor.
In trading, it's going to take the same exact thing.
It's going to take years of hard work, lots of money you're going to spend on courses.
You're going to lose money.
But it's all part of the process because trading can be one of the most valuable skills.
You can make hundreds of thousands of dollars in a matter of days or even – I know people will make that in trade.
So ultimately, I'd say find a mentor, trial and error, screen time, and putting in the work behind the screens when the market's closed, meaning watching videos, educating yourself.
That's dope.
I appreciate that.
I appreciate that.
What's up, Staggy?
Nothing.
It's like I'd be hyped for the simple fact that things like that is we get so caught up in Web 3 and in these rooms that we forget that there's people down there listening or people that are going to listen to the recordings.
They have zero clue of what the fuck we're talking about.
So it has to take, like, people like y'all, like, PB, not Dime, Stag.
And you got to ask the right questions.
Like, sometimes, for me, some people might ask some questions that I might feel like that question was dubbed in a motherfucker.
But to somebody that doesn't know, they would like to know.
You know what I mean?
It's like, okay, how do I start?
Because we can be like, okay, you can do this website, this, then what?
You know what I mean?
I'm going to ask.
It's like, okay, so it's about, like, like Dime just explained.
It's like, okay, somebody has some cash.
This is what they need to do.
This is where they go.
This is what you do.
This is then PB and Dime and Staggy all said the same thing, paper trading.
You can try there, but you're really not going to get the feel of it because you're not winning or losing anything.
And it'd be different.
It's like shooting dice.
It's like gambling with fake money.
You're not really.
You can risk it all.
Like, you're in Monopoly.
You're playing Monopoly and shit.
You got all this money.
Risk it all because it's not no real money.
But let that be some real cash.
You're not going to play your hand the way you played your hand.
You're going to be more conservative.
You're going to be more aggressive when it needs to be.
You're going to pay more attention.
You're going to do due diligence and really do the research you need to do because you're going to lose your fucking money.
So, I say, just like they said, basically, you know, like there's levels, there's layers to it, right?
I think once you get to the real money, it's the psychology part that you're working on.
You know what I'm saying?
But prior to is skill.
So, you know, you paper trading, you're just honing in that skill.
You know, perfect practice makes perfect.
You get in the vibe of things.
And then once you get the real money, then you're testing your psychology right now.
You can tweak your psychology, which is actually the hardest part.
So, yeah, 100% agree.
You can't put your emotions into trading.
Oh, we could talk about emotions all day because, remember, I said this last time and proof is in the pudding.
But I wanted to say something also.
I would definitely love PB to come to our back-to-school drive later this year if we can get him.
And his mom and dad is in the audience, too.
I see him.
But, hey, you guys.
Miss you guys.
I don't appreciate it.
If I cuss a little too much, I'm sorry.
You're done.
Just send me a message.
Send me a message.
I've been trying.
I've been trying to keep it.
I keep it a certain way because it's like this is the thing.
This is why I laugh.
It's like when people see my kids or they talk to my kids.
My kids don't cuss.
My kids talk a certain way.
I talk like this.
I grew up different than they did.
You know what I mean?
So it'd be funny when people are like, oh, shit.
That's your dad?
They're like, yeah.
They'd be scared.
I'd be like, yeah, I made that.
It's all good.
But I just try to keep it a certain way.
It's amazing, PV, to see such a young individual in this space.
And obviously making a lot of noise.
People hearing your name and you're doing your thing.
That's dope.
Having support from your parents is one of the most important things.
It doesn't matter.
He got some haters, too.
We might have to handle.
Man, listen, you got some haters.
You got haters, Ryan?
For real?
You got some haters.
I'm a hater.
I play with my little homie, bro.
Listen, man, you my friend.
I'm going to tell you something.
Listen, listen, Jake D.
You just got adopted to the bad guys club.
We don't want you to be the bad guy.
But listen, around here, yeah, all right.
Play with him if you want to.
All right.
Yeah, that's cool.
I don't understand why anybody would hate, like, especially when you see somebody coming
up so young and want to do different things for these young kids.
It's like he's the type of individual that you put in front of these young kids.
Like, hey, do you see this?
He's young.
You don't have an excuse.
And it's not thrown in their face.
It's just knowing you don't have to worry about you're not 18 and it's a whole bunch
of different.
Nah, listen, it's actually somebody being successful and taking their bumps.
It's a journey.
So just imagine by the time he's 25.
Maybe 10 years from now.
He could be a beast.
I appreciate it, man.
Misery is contagious.
You know, man.
A lot of these people.
Send him my way.
They know they get smacked up around here.
And they take it out on someone who's doing better than them.
They put it.
Take it out on their kid.
And even, like, regardless of age, it should be an inspiration.
But not everyone's life is built the same.
Man, listen.
I'm going to tell you what it is.
Tell them to get their money out.
Every time they tell them, I'm too young, your money too young.
You're better than me, man.
Man, that's what I'm saying.
Yeah, their money too young.
They need to grow up.
That's who needs to grow up.
Their money need to grow up.
They need to just leave it alone.
Oh, we got Mr. D on the stage.
What's going on, man?
How you doing, sir?
What's going on, bro?
How you doing?
What's up?
Salute, bro.
I'm blessed, blessed.
I want to add to, especially for young people, and then I won't take up much time, but one
of the things I would definitely tell young people, the purpose of paper trading and demo
trading, don't think you can't get none out of it because it's not your real money, because
you practice how you intend on playing.
The name of the game is risk management.
Be wrong quick.
Be wrong small.
And so the longer you take to learn the fundamentals and not rush yourself, remove ego, the better
off you're going to be, because you're going to have that skill set, but psychology is an
ever-evolving thing.
Even as professional traders, you're going to evolve.
So never rush it, because there's no end game.
There is no destination.
The name of the game is to outlast.
It's sustainability.
It's consistency.
It's not looking left and right what the next man is doing.
So I just try to teach people around me that I do come in contact with, is to take your
time.
Take your time and learn what you got to learn.
Don't rush that part of it.
Okay, I appreciate that.
I appreciate that.
Now, you know, one of the, you know, I'm advocate for that.
So it's like in the inner cities, one of the main problems is people want to see it.
You see, that's the thing.
One of the most difficult parts is taking like some of these kids away from the chaos in the
streets when they making some money.
Like, if they making some money on the streets, it's so much difficult to put them in the
right path.
But when you actually can replace that and put something else in their face, like, okay,
try this.
And if those things actually work and they take the necessary steps to be kind of learn
how to do like trading.
I know trading is dope.
Like, I don't know how to trade.
I will eventually sit down and kind of go through the process of what I need to go to.
I just know I'm going to put my all into anything that I do.
So I just got to wait.
But I know when I talk to somebody's kid, that is a way out.
Because you actually, you could make money out of the thing there.
You can live however you, if you are a good trader, if you are an okay trader, you actually
can be free.
You can live wherever you want to live in the world and make money, a will.
That's what I'm saying.
What's this?
Can I interject something too with that?
Of course.
I think the success that I've seen with, you know, like you, you know, having that background.
It's funny because I started in penny stocks or pink sheets like PV.
So the thing that I think that has helped me with the people that I've encountered, and
everybody's, you know, a little different.
And every time I encounter them, it's a little different.
But I don't look to necessarily replace, right?
Because sometimes that is difficult.
You know that saying we tell adults that the best time to look for a new career or job is
when you already have one?
So when you teach people more about expanding and adding the streams of revenue, now, that's
when you kind of get into the mindset portion of it.
You can interject a little bit of that.
Like when I talk to people, it's okay, you know what?
You can trade.
You can trade.
You can do this.
You can invest.
You can invest your money.
You can minimize your exposure to certain things or negative things.
But, you know, it also takes a little bit of discernment on the person that's educating.
You know, it takes a little bit of discernment on their part, too.
You know, because I tell people I only teach and help and mentor, and I'm a believer.
It's when I'm called to do it because I feel like that's a gift and it's a calling.
And sometimes, you know, not everybody's in the right headspace to do that.
And not everybody's in the right headspace to learn.
So the only thing you could do is plant the seed with the expectation that if you continue
the exposure in many different ways, that that seed will be watered.
You know, I'll never, you know, I can never promise to replace someone's income because
that takes discipline.
And I can't do it for you.
I can't do that part for you, right?
But I can show you.
I can give you things to ponder on, like things to consider.
So sometimes it's a little easier for some of us who came from the streets to maybe talk
that lingo or give them something that they're familiar with.
So you do have to kind of tap into that.
But it's also, you know, having to understand that if you're dedicating that time to it,
that discipline to it, you don't have to make a ton of mistakes.
You're going to make mistakes.
Just don't try to avoid.
There's no such thing as perfection.
Don't try to avoid mistakes.
You're going to take losses, but we operate in probability, not possibility.
So you just minimize your impact.
Don't worry about taking a loss.
It's just just worry about the size and the type of losses you take and learn from other
people's experience as well.
So it takes, you know, a certain pedigree in a teacher, but also in a student, too.
So it's about timing and timing when you're given that information.
I also think that, you know, not being afraid to ask questions is super, super, super important.
Like, one thing about me is I was really, I was never, never, ever afraid to ask questions.
And that's kind of the whole reason where I am where I am today is because one day I was
joining doll spaces and I asked a question and kids were, people were really, really surprised
that I'm a young kid.
Wait, wait, wait, I'm a doll, by the way.
Some people don't know me as doll anymore.
Oh, Stax.
I used to go by doll.
No, you can call me doll.
They don't know.
Listen.
Yeah, Stax is doll, but, you know, I asked her, I asked a question on their podcast and
a lot of people follow me from there.
And ever since then, it's been like, go, go, go, go, go.
So, you know, not being afraid to ask questions is very, very big.
And I probably DM'd over 100 traders on Twitter and I think maybe 10 of them replied.
But out of those 10, probably five of them were good replies.
And man, even out of those 100, just by me reaching out, I learned so, so much.
And it even helped me to this day to come where I am.
And so I just wanted to say, you know, don't be afraid to ask questions.
And thanks again.
You know, you guys, everyone check out Stax.
It's really, really, really.
If I wasn't for me hopping on that podcast that one day, I would know where I'd be at
today.
Once again, man, the power of one.
And, bro, we hear you clicking away, PB.
We hear you.
You still working, bro.
We hear that shit.
We hear it.
Keep it up, bro.
And to Mr. D's point and to PB's point, kind of going with what Six was saying, man, we
need people of all frees, ages, everything to be out here speaking to people about this
stuff.
If you have the leg up with the knowledge and the education and the know-how,
man, go out there and teach people about it.
It takes somebody, like somebody, somebody going to connect with everybody.
You get what I'm saying?
Like, you're not going to connect with everybody, but you're going to connect with somebody out
of everybody.
And as long as everybody, I don't know, I'm word solid.
English is hard.
No, I wanted to say he has great support, too.
So as parents, if anybody's in here whose kids are interested in anything, like you have
got to step up to the plate and support those people.
His parents are absolutely golden and they're hustlers themselves.
So he ain't get it from nowhere, you know, be that example that you want your children
to be, 100%, because this dude right here.
Are you still doing good in school?
Yeah.
If I don't get a 4.3 or above a 4.0, my parents don't want me trade.
I don't know why school is useless.
Your mom is not playing it.
I don't know why you think she's done.
I love that.
Good on your mama.
Tell us about your mentorship program, because I know you started it.
I know you started it, mentorship program a while back.
Has it grown?
Do you need help?
Like, what's going on there?
Well, we've been closed for a long time.
We've done two openings, and basically it's a two-week course to teach kids.
But we sold out both times, and we haven't done one in a few months.
But the thing with that is I basically put together a team of some sick traders, including
myself, and we teach a two- to three-week course, everything trading A to Z.
Options, whatever, and we had awesome testimonials.
We had probably 30 people who took videos of themselves talking about how great it was,
how much they learned.
But we're actually doing something where it's lower scale.
So that's a mentorship course, which obviously is higher value.
But we're doing a Discord.
So if you want to watch me live trade, I give all my trade alerts.
I do a weekly class.
I'm watching next Sunday at 8 p.m. Eastern.
You know, the time has come.
I've waited until I'm getting close to 100,000, hopefully tonight.
So it's been, you know, a long time in the making, and we're really, really excited
to hopefully grow this to one of the biggest educational and live trading platforms out
there.
Well, if you don't follow him, everybody, go follow him right away ASAP.
Let's get him to 100.
He is so close.
So close.
What are we going through at 100,000?
Are we having a party?
Oh, yeah.
We're partying.
I love it.

Yeah.
Girl, you having a stroke?
That's not how we talk now.
Oh, my God.
Hold on, y'all.
What are we drinking here?
We're not going to do this.
We're not going to do this.
Now, reset it.
Two, three, four, five.
Again.
Come on, y'all.
Two, three, four.
Because y'all is just about to start acting up around here.
One, two, three, four, five.
And in.
Two, three.
All right.
We good.
What was with the block to the blockchain?
What's going on?
Everybody, we have PB in the house.
Remember, he is 16 years old.
We have his parents in the room.
If we want more educational spaces to gain wisdom and knowledge, behave like adults for
once, por favor.
So, he is allowed to come back in our spaces.
Make sure y'all follow him.
Shoot him and follow.
That's dope.
That's dope.
It's like, it's amazing that you're so young.
J.M.J., if you want to come up here, then you can just get on there behind.
Request that real quick.
That's his mom.
Come on.
She's also forever member.
Oh, is mama here?
Yeah.
Yes.
Yes.
Forever member of Sakiya.
So, y'all can't act up.
I don't think he's ever spoken on a stage.
Everybody on your bench.
No, she has with me.
Your mom's on my face with me.
Oh, she has?
I don't even know.
Yeah.
Don't she talk?
Okay, she just requests.
I just need to put somebody around.
I have a movie a lot of random movies.
Your mom comes up with me now.
Hold on.
Why you throw Don down?
Why you throw Don down?
That was an accident.
That was awesome.
How you doing?
That wasn't me.
How you doing?
I'm laughing so hard right now.
You guys are cracking me up.
How's it going?
Great.
How are you guys?
Hi, Swax.
I'm amazing.
Hey, what's up?
Great to hear your voice again.
We launch next month officially.
So, I got announcements to make.
I can't wait to see what's going on.
I'm so excited.
Yes.
She's a member of Sakiya.
It's long term since the beginning.
That's right.
Okay.
Whatever.
You got an amazing kid right here.
Thank you so much.
Yeah.
It's stressful.
But, yep.
You know, when you have a passion and you find it at a young age, there's no stopping,
let me tell you.
You can't.
You can't fight it.
Because when you fight it, that's when they got to find ways around it.
I tried.
And that is.
Ask Sakiya.
I tried.
I still threaten him.
But it's great.
It's great.
So, you be trading this way.
Yeah.
I trade here and there a little bit.
I'm busy.
I have four kids.
So, whenever I can do it, I try to do it.
Super mom.
Oh, my God.
Like, what?
Oh, man, bro.
I'm cheesing.
I'm excited.
No, be nice.
Her husband in the audience.
You better be good.
He's laughing.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm good.
I'm good.
I'm definitely doing my job.
Hold on, Sakiya.
What you think?
You don't know how to huddle.
Hold on.
Fuck on.
No, I was just.
Sakiya, what you think?
The people in here don't know how to act or something?
I was just going to tell her she has raised a wonderful young man, man.
It just makes me feel like, man, I done wasted so much of my time.
I could have been trading at 13, man.
Thank you, guys.
Thank you so much.
And over here, he is protected by everybody in here.
We are some protective people.
We don't play about kids.
We love kids.
You already know how I am.
And these people right here are the same way.
And they're in a back chat right now saying, who messing with him?
Tag him.
Honestly, God bless your heart.
Because God knows how much evil is in that, in Twitter, in social media.
I think we can all agree.
You know, hello.
My name is Six.
And I put names on whatever I say.
So, what's up?
Who?
Who?
Tag him.
Tag him.
We already did in that group chat.
Oh, hold on.
Let me see.
I ain't even been looking.
Let me see who.
We know.
No, we let the haters.
Hey, don't worry about the haters.
Just ignore them.
Who the fuck is that?
I don't even know.
We got some people in here that can handle it in other ways, too.
Oh, man.
You know, I think what is really disgusting and horrendous, especially when it's an adult,
when you're over 20 and you're picking on a young person, it's like, what the hell are
you doing with your life?
And then if you're in your 30s, it's even worse.
If you're in your 40s, okay, there's something really, really mentally wrong with you for you
to come at children.
Like, it's just despicable.
A lot of these dudes, you know.
Yeah, you know how I feel about it.
You know how I feel about it.
I'll use my hands.
Like, I'll fight for kids.
I don't care.
It's disgusting.
It's disgusting.
And it bothers, like, my husband and I more.
And he's like, my son, PV, is always like, who cares?
The haters are going to hate.
When they stop hating, that's when we need to worry.
That's right.
I love it.
But, like, as a mother, I'm like, that's my baby.
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, who the hell are you talking about?
Bad press is good press.
But why are they hating?
They don't believe it's, well, he was 13 when he started, but now he's 16.
So they think it's like a 50-year-old behind a screen.
Yet he's done interviews.
He's live traded.
So they thought it was a 50-so?
No, no, no.
I know for, and, you know, it was one person who came to me.
And I said, I know for a fact that this boy trades on his own.
There's nobody else.
He's made mistakes.
He's made, you know, and all of that.
Like, you know, but people don't want to believe it.
And it has nothing to do with what he's doing.
It has nothing to do with any of that.
It's just that envy.
It's projection, Stax.
It is.
It's projection because they're much older and they're not where they want to be in life.
And seeing someone who's younger, they just, they're losers.
And we've seen the people that have actually sent out multiple threads about him.
They're over 30 living with their parents and they have nothing going for themselves.
And instead of using it as motivation to better yourself, you, like, why, your heart is like evil.
Like, like his mom said, there's a lot of evil people in this world.
And to target children, that's like the worst of evils.
This is strange.
Let me get to the hand real quick.
Robot Nick, what's going on, man?
Welcome to Black to the Blockchain.
Hey, man.
How you doing, man?
How's everybody doing today?
Oh, I got a question from Mr. PB, right?
PB, if I could ask you a question.
Is that cool, bro?
Yeah, yeah.
What's up?
My question is this, right?
I'm not a trader.
It's something that I wish I knew how to do because, you know, it involves money, but it's just an avenue.
I just, I don't, I'm just not a good trader, I guess.
I look at a chart and it kind of looks foreign to me.
So, that being said, in terms of trading, right, how important are charts compared to this?
Is somebody talking?
Yeah.
Yes.
It's robotic.
Oh, okay.
I'm good.
Go ahead, bro.
That just threw me off.
Damn, what I was saying?
Man, she just threw me off of that one.
How important is charting?
Oh, how important is charts, like, as opposed to just a gut feeling or just, like, overall macro situations?
Like, I don't know, like, things on a macro scale that got to do with, like, you know, things that you may read in the news or something new.
Like, what's, like, are charts really that important?
Because I look at a lot of traders in this space that I know, I see on the timeline, and they make a lot of bad calls with the charts.
Like, they might say, oh, it's a bullish divergence of the triple lateral hammer strike.
And then, you know, it doesn't go according to what their charts say.
So, how important are charts?
Because I don't really think I'm important, and I could be wrong because I'm not a trader.
I mean, trading without charts is strictly gambling unless you're a long-term trader.
You can't day trade or swing trade without charts because, first of all, it's like, how are you going to know when you're going to have an entry, a good exit?
And, second of all, I'd say charting on technical analysis works 60% to 70% of the time.
And, obviously, you know, you're not going to get right every single time.
But unless you're a long-term strictly trader, then, you know, charts would be less important but still important.
Macro would be important there.
But for me, like, I don't even look.
Like, some of these companies I trade sometimes, I have no clue what they do.
I'm just making money off them going up for the day or going down for the day.
I don't even care, too.
I just, you know, I learned how to read the charts, and I think that they're very, very, very important.
You need to have charts if you want to be a day trader.
But as far as long-term trading, it's less important but still important.
So, yes, you know, it is important.
Obviously, it's not going to work every single time because we'd all be rich if charts worked every single time.
All right.
Okay, that question, let me specify the question or, you know, compartmentalize it.
In terms of, like, crypto as opposed to stocks, is there a difference in terms of crypto slash, you know, altcoins and then stocks?
You know what I mean?
Like, are charts more solid in stocks as opposed to crypto?
And if so, how do you manage the charts in crypto slash altcoins if you do?
Well, as far as the crypto and altcoins, I don't trade altcoins that much because, I mean, I just don't trade them.
It's just not my thing.
A lot of people tell me about 99% of those are scams.
But I do have, you know, crypto holdings.
I have a lot of XRP.
I have Ethereum.
I have some stuff like that.
And I do look at the charts.
I mean, I look at the dailies.
I look at the weeklies.
But it's more or less this.
So, say for crypto, you're not, unless you're day trading these cryptos on crypto, I'm looking at larger time frame charts.
So, I'm looking at the daily time frames and the weekly time frames because I'm swing trading my crypto.
But if I'm day trading crypto and if you're buying crypto because of information behind the stock or due diligence behind the stock that you think is going to make it go up,
then charts are probably not relevant since you're buying based off of information about the stock.
But if you're day trading stocks based off of patterns or your system or your strategy, then you can't just predict the stock is going to go up based on information.
Like, personally, for me, I never predict.
My strategies, I react based off my technical analysis and based off my strategy.
But, you know, it all depends on how your trading style is.
If you're buying it because you think the due diligence is strong behind the company or behind the coin or you're buying it because you see something that looks good in the chart.
So, it's really, it's all to you.
So, to me, that's like fundamental analysis versus technical analysis.
Like, you can be a fundamental trader.
But, you know, it's, like PB said, you know, smaller position.
Like, if you're day trading something, you know, or if you're swing trading.
If you're investing something, you're doing your due diligence.
You know, really, it doesn't matter if it goes up and down because, you know,
you plan on holding this or DCA-ing into something, right?
Like, that's, you obviously don't have time to look at charts.
But I always do recommend you learn how to read a chart.
Like, you know, you say it's foreign to you.
And the reason that, you know, if somebody puts their, like, analysis out on Twitter, which most of the gloating people that put their, most of them, not all of them, but that put their stuff out on Twitter is just, some people use it as their journal, right?
And with trading, you have to be 51%, right, to be profitable, right?
So, you know, a lot of times you can be wrong.
And the problem is with Twitter is the reactions are, ah, you're stupid, you're this and you're that.
You're getting some negative feedback while you're trading.
But at the same time, it's like holding you accountable to your trades also.
But I wouldn't always take somebody's analysis as face value and buy based off of someone's analysis.
Like, you have, if you don't know how to read a chart, then you can't determine what that person's talking about, too.
Because a lot of times people will post a chart that says it's going up, and it can go up.
Like, how long?
What's the time frame that this person thinks that this is going up?
So a lot of new traders, you don't understand that.
If I post a chart and say Bitcoin is going to this level, or Bitcoin is, you know, I have a position, I have a long position in Bitcoin, and it's going up X amount, and I still win, but it doesn't go to that level.
People will say, oh, you don't know what you're talking about.
No, that person made profit on a trade, and they took profit, right?
And they may have fell short of their target, but they still took it.
So if you don't know how to read a chart, then a lot of times you won't know what the hell they're talking about.
I'm sorry, one last question.
That's very important.
I'm sorry, I forgot it.
Go ahead.
Mr. P, for New York, right, in terms of, like, even crypto trading, it's very stringent, and, like, you know, they shut it down a lot.
What's a good trading platform for crypto in New York?
I would talk to Dime about that one.
Oh, okay.
Dime.
What was it, Robert?
What's a good trading platform in New York for crypto?
Because a lot of it is, like, heavy regulated and probably forbidden.
You just need to use a VPN.
You don't need to KYC.
The only one you need to KYC for is Bybit right now.
Then you can use Bing X.
You can use OKX.
You can use BitGet.
B-I-T-G-E-T.
Do you have BitPay out there?
You can use BitPay as well.
I haven't tried BitPay.
But, VPN?
Yeah, you just need a VPN.
I personally use OKX.
I like it.
And there's demo trading on OKX.
And there's demo trading on Bing X.
P-P-N OKYC.
Thank you, P-P.
No, Robotnik.
I got you, bro.
I'm about to send you a VPN login.
I'm good.
No, I'm not taking nothing from you.
You click.
Don't click that link.
I'm not clicking his link.
I know him.
It's not a link, bro.
It's literally a username and password that I give to my friends for this VPN that I have
like permanent fucking access to.
Don't log in.
What's going on?
People like you.
Oh, wait, wait, wait.
Because people like you that met that people come to me and they're like, oh, if I help
if you have if I ask you to help me with my wallet, are you going to drain my wallet?
Like, bro, ain't nobody got time for that.
I don't want your fucking $20.
You know, I tell them all the time.
Everybody just be so nervous about the $35.95.
They're having three ledgers spread out with one seat, one word of the seat phrase spread
out around 17 different countries.
It's like, bro, it's $35.
Mr. D, what's going on?
Oh, yeah.
I was just going to add maybe in more simpler terms, too, when the person asks how important
is a chart, just like ones and zeros are important to computer and high learning language is important
to computer assembly language, just like music notes is important is the language of music.
The charts is the language of investing.
So if you do not know that, you know not what the charts are speaking of.
So you have to you do.
They are important.
They are important on every sense.
Now, the things that you're asking, you're asking.
It's not relevance to a chart.
It's relevance to a market, to a sector.
Yes, crypto can be highly speculative, be highly manipulative, a little bit more than
your traditional markets.
That's true.
But you have to a chart is important no matter how you slice it.
I mean, because you don't if you don't know what they're saying, how do you deem that they're
wrong?
You know, or did you go back to look to see even if they're right?
So it's hard to say someone's wrong if you don't know what language they're speaking.
And so, you know, learn, definitely learn the charts and learn it as much as you can
and practice as much as you can when it comes to that, because that's important.
I don't think crypto has enough.
And most of these alt points and stuff, they don't have enough information and data like
for you to chart it accurately anyways.
Like you charting off of a couple of weeks or a couple of months and I don't even trade
and I'm very true, you know, versus a stock that's been around for, you know, X amount
of years.
Listen, then you got this crypto that just came out last week.
So how do you feel about that?
Because you can trade value.
How do you dine?
Because I know you trade altcoins too.
Sorry, what was the question?
About trading altcoins with not enough information, basically.
Maybe high liquidity.
Altcoins or shitcoins?
Shitcoins.
That's the same thing.
No, they're not.
No, it's not.
Yeah, they're not.
ETH is an altcoin.
It's not a shitcoin.
No, ETH would be a major.
That's the right person.
That's crazy ass.
ETH would be a major.
ETH and Bitcoin majors.
And then, yeah.
So Solana's an altcoin.
So you can call it a shitcoin based on whether you don't like it, but it doesn't classify
as a shitcoin.
Sorry, I'm high as hell.
What'd you say about volume?
Stacks?
Why are we, no, talking about altcoins, trading altcoins based off of a chart.
I know you've traded altcoins.
How do you feel about it?
I love trading altcoins.
How do you feel?
Sometimes majors.
Do you think that charts are important when you trade altcoins?
Hell yeah.
Okay, so how do you track the charts with, like, limited information versus stocks?
So, like, stocks you can track back, like, a few months.
It would depend, because altcoins, they've been around for years.
You can easily go back and backtest years of worth of price action on altcoins.
Solana's an altcoin.
Ada.
Coins that came out last week, Dian.
I mean, they'd still be in price discovery, so.
Take this person down.
Who's this mug?
Whoever that is, take it down.
Yeah, I mean, if they just came out.
M-U-G-I, whoever that is, take it down.
What's going on?
No, you don't want to hear it.
Bye.
Get out.
I'll talk to you guys later.
Hey, Six.
Hey, Les.
I got questions.
You can't leave.
No, no, you can't.
I got to go first.
Got it.
Hey, look at mine.
Do I finish?
I'm going to bring you back up when I need to ask you some questions.
I got questions.
Do you want me to finish?
Yeah, yeah, go ahead.
Finish.
If they're coins that have been newly listed, they'd still be in price discovery mode.
So, there really isn't much that you can predict.
I mean, you can use FIBS, which will give, you know, good entries and exits
and price predictions.
But if it's an altcoin and it's an actual good coin, then, yeah, you can predict that
there's going to be a good move, especially if the market is holding well.
But if it's a shitcoin, like, let's use Bencoin when it was listed on Mexi Exchange
and they list a lot of shitcoins, all you need is a bit of influence and you pay for it.
But, you know, Mexi is more than likely going to list it for you.
So, that's been on a downtrend ever since it was listed and we know why.
Shitcoins that aren't listed on centralized exchanges, they're not going to keep going up.
Never has, never will.
They're always going to go up and they're going to come right back down.
There's no utility.
For something like Pepe, it's more of a community coin.
It's community-driven.
It had its run-up, it had its run-down and it went back up and down and it's more than
likely going to end up being like Shiba and Doge.
And then we can get a bit more information as the community decides what they want to do
with it, but ultimately it has to reach a certain level for it to continue and seeing if the
community is still strong.
So, for me personally, if they, like Pepe got listed on the exchange that I use, so
yeah, I traded it.
But if it's not listed, I'm more than likely not going to be anywhere near those type of
shitcoins.
I was, the meta for shitcoins this year compared to, like, April 2021 is completely different.
Completely different.
So, I'm not interested in trading them personally.
Me either.
What I was about to say, so with Pepe, for me, you know, it was about supply and demand.
So, you know, I saw that, you know, it wasn't in demand anymore and then it was, it was time
to go down.
And basically, you know, so things like that, I think you can, you can add in common sense.
And once you, once you've seen shitcoins run up or, oh yeah, Pepe, you got to go?
Yeah, yeah.
I have some work to do.
I'm going.
Say bye to everybody.
I definitely appreciate you coming through, man.
Bye, Pepe.
Good night, guys.
Keep doing your time.
Will you coming back?
Come back sometime.
Give me a text.
I'll come through.
All right.
Bye, Pepe.
Bye, family.
Bye, Pepe.
You've inspired me to spend my whole night today on YouTube.
Appreciate it, everybody.
Good night.
All right.
Keep it going.
I got a few questions.
KKB, what's going on?
Yeah.
So, hi.
Before you say anything.
So, I actually have a question on the stop losses.
So, are you a stop?
Okay.
But listen, there's people with their hands up, brother.
You just walk in the space.
You got to, you know, let everybody finish and boom.
He said, I already got my hands up.
They permanent hands up.
What's going on, mom?
So, I'm not the mom.
Are you the mom?
Are you the kid, mom?
Hold on.
Not you yet.
Hold on, KB.
I mean, I've been trading for about four years.
All right.
Look.
Hold on.
Look.
Hold on.
Listen.
Listen.
Listen.
Take, baby.
This is.
I'm going to tell you.
You might not be used to this, but please don't make me go there right now.
I'm trying to.
What's going on?
JMJ.
Hey.
Hey, hey.
How you doing?
I'm blessing Heidi's favor.
I'm good.
I'm sorry.
It was going in and out, so now I can hear you better.
I moved into a different area of the house.
Okay.
Now, we were just saying, man, you got a dope kid right there.
Super dope.
Thank you so much.
Honestly, you guys know him behind a screen, but if you ever meet him, you'll be like,
okay, this is crazy.
He's a very humble, just a beautiful soul, like an old soul.
Let me tell you.
He's an old soul.
And fearless.
That kid is so fair.
He used to ask me some crazy questions about trading and introducing him to people.
I'm like, okay.
You know, you're sure?
You know?
So, yeah.
He's very brave.
And, you know, I know he gets that from his mom.
His mom don't play that.
Yeah.
He's very motivated.
He just, he has a goal and he's going to do whatever it takes to get to that goal, whatever
it takes.
So, what are your plans?
Are you coming out anytime soon?
We got so much planned.
And...
No, I do want to make it out there.
I definitely do.
I'm hoping, you know, you're going to use that next month, right?
We'll have more information.
My, okay, next month is the Financial Literacy Kids Drive over in Houston.
We're going to Houston, right?
We in Houston, right?
Yeah.
Six.
Okay.
Over in Houston.
And if we can shoot, if we can set something up, we're PB talking or something six.
I don't know.
But...
Oh, you should.
We just set up.
There you go.
Yeah.
And then, and then for Stachianas, we have the launch party in December, Doran Art Basel.
And we're in Miami.
Is that in Houston as well?
That's Miami.
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah, I'm down.
We listen.
We, we're about to turn up.
So...
Yeah, it sounds so much fun.
I definitely will want to make it out to that.
Last year was crazy.
So this year is going to be even bigger.
And hopefully, if, if we can house all the Stachianas members, that would be even better.
So, like...
Amazing.
I have some stuff planned.
But you're the first person I'm going to contact, of course.
Stachs, you're the best, honestly.
I, you're just...
You, you are just amazing.
You deserve everything.
Oh, I love you.
Appreciate you.
Let me get, let me get to these people that have been...
All right.
KKB, what's going on, man?
Yeah.
So my question was more about stop losses.
But if you want to take it now or later...
No, no.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
Yes.
Okay, sure.
So, even the stop losses, usually what happens with me is, like, I am too aggressive on my stop losses to cut down the losses and I miss the for-profits.
So, are the stop losses are also based on your charts or the stop losses more of how much you can take loss on?
If you do it on how much you can take loss on, you're more than likely going to get stopped out.
Because if market is still in structure and we, let's say you're in a long position and it hasn't broken any downtrend, it hasn't broken support and it's still trending upwards.
But you can only take a $50 loss, it's more than likely going to take you out because it's not following any actual analysis.
It's just how much you're willing to risk.
Your risk should somehow be aligned with market structure, with support and resistance, mainly.
So, even the stop losses or take profits should be based on the chart trends.
That's what you're trying to say, right?
Sorry, could you repeat that?
If I get it right, you're telling that even the stop loss of the take profits should be based on the charts, not just based on your...
So, I mean, take profit, you can, you know, if you're happy with the profit that you're in before it reaches your target, great, you can take profit.
But stop loss, that's why a lot of people get stopped out and it reverses and it happens on me too.
Let's say I've had two losing trades and I'm giving myself a limit of three losing trades that day.
I'm only willing to risk another $1,000, but support is way below, you know, if it breaks support, I'll probably have to lose $2,000, but I can only risk $1,000.
It might hit my stop loss and hold above support and still continue upwards or down whatever side of the market you're on.
So, you know, if your risk is, I mean, if you're not willing to risk as much, then definitely lower your position size so that you can actually put a stop loss in a calculated place.
Okay, okay, thank you.
Hey, what's up, fam? Sorry, real quick. Stacks, good point.
Six, let's see everybody. Hello.
But your stop loss has to do a lot with the time chart that you're trading as well.
So, like, what time charts do you normally trade?
What are you talking about? Are you talking about time frames?
Time frames.
Like, the chart, like, if he's talking about a stop loss, your stop loss is such, it's pointless if you're trading in five minutes.
No, especially if you're trading a volatile market where there's news, you should at least have a hard stop loss so you don't blow your account.
I wouldn't, like, there's people that trade without stop losses and that's perfectly fine for them if it's within their risk to reward and if the market completely goes against them and they're okay with that.
Scalpers usually don't use stop losses because they're scalping on the one minute, three minute or five minute chart and they're in and out of the position really quickly.
But, he's using text to talk. Sorry about that.
But, yeah, if you're scalping on the one minute, two minute, five minute chart, you're more than likely not going to use a stop loss.
But if it's a very volatile weekend, we've got Red Folder news and you're trading a currency that's, you know, with USD and USD news comes out and it completely takes your position out, you're more than likely going to blow your entire account.
Even though you're only planning to be in the trade for a couple of minutes, a lot of people miss news.
So, I would always advocate for a hard stop loss at least.
And also, Dime, like, when, you know, because I didn't, I was originally like that I didn't use stop losses because I thought I was a G, right?
So, you know, I think when I started using stop losses, it made everything easier, right?
It was less worry, you know, of course, you get stopped out of some things, but I use ATR too now.
So, it's a little more calculated with my stop losses, but this is just for, this is for stocks and not cryptocurrency or Forex.
But, you know, yeah, stop losses are important, but also this is your strategy.
So, you know, create your trading strategy and, you know, what works best for you.
How do y'all think right here, man?
Let me get into some of these things.
KKB, you good?
Yeah, I'm good.
Thanks.
Thanks for the input.
Mr. D and then Dr. Vobotny.
No, I was going to add on to it for KKB and tell him it's both.
Both is important because even if you look at a chart and decide where you're going to put your stop loss at,
it's still based off your account and the risk you want to take.
So, both are important.
You need both.
You can't do one without the other in the spec of certain, a certain result.
And for the timeframe thing, if I'm looking at a chart and it's $10, the price is the price is the price.
The price is $10 on daily.
The price is going to be $10 on five minute.
What Stacks said, it does work.
It works for all the markets.
So, it does depend on the asset that you're trading to.
Certain things need a little bit more breathing room.
So, it really depends on what it is that you're doing.
You know, you can't just arbitrarily place a stop loss somewhere and say that, you know, well, I'm protected now.
Right?
So, there are fundamentals to it.
Right?
So, you do have to look at what you're doing on a chart and understand where and why you're.
And that's not even necessarily about just where.
You got to also know why you're putting it there.
Why you're doing something.
Because if you don't know the why, you can't replicate that.
And that's what wins the race, consistency.
If you can't, if you don't know why you're doing something and you don't stick to that, you can look at a chart.
I'm going to tell you, if I open the chart and it takes me more than five minutes to see a position, I don't look at the chart.
I go to another asset because it doesn't, it shouldn't, for me, the way I trade with my system, it shouldn't take me that long.
If I don't see something, I go, I'm not going to force anything.
I don't have no daily goals.
I don't, I give what the, I take what the market gives me.
Because if I want to say I have a daily goal of 2,500 and the market decides not to give me 2,500, then for a newbie, for a new trader, they're going to be trying to push the issue.
And that's how you get caught up in your egos.
I let the market tell me what it wants to do, and I execute based off my trading plan.
So you have to look at market structure.
But your account is important, too.
You know, what risk size you're able to take.
That's important, too.
So you need both.
You can't negate your account size just because you have good fundamentals on your chart as well.
Because then you'll be over-leveraging, possibly, right?
Yeah, I got it.
I feel like a lot of people come in here.
Yeah, I mean, you have to consider the fact that, like, just exactly what Mr. D said.
Like, what he said was so on point.
Like, are you jumping in at the wrong time?
Or, like, are you just jumping in just because you heard some good news?
Like, you have to really, especially when it comes to charts, you have to fucking really wait and be patient.
Sometimes people jump in at 6.30 in the morning.
Boom.
Right when the market opens, you jump in the fucking trade, and it's like it goes opposite.
And then you close it because you're, like, you're scared.
And then you jump back in, and you're doing all this shit.
So it's like you really do need to watch at what entry point you're getting on.
There has to be an edge.
If there's no edge, you know, one edge that I love to use is my triple divergence.
It has to be triples.
If it's not triples, I really don't even take it.
Like, I'd rather not even jump in the trade.
If I don't see no triple dibs or three rising valleys, like, I'm not in.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, that's just my strategy.
But, you know, it has a lot to do with the – are you jumping in on the second divergence?
Or are you jumping in on the first divergence because you've seen a wick?
Are you catching fucking knives?
Like, where are you trading at?
Like, where are you putting your position at?
And are you going all in on that position?
Do you have multiple positions, or do you go all in on that one?
I appreciate it, everybody.
Take it.
Go ahead, Robotnik.
Yeah, I appreciate – damn, my phone's just on.
I don't know if you can hear me real quick.
Yeah, I appreciate everybody.
Take it.
I'm probably never going to get into trading.
It just seems so slow to me.
Like, me, I'd rather throw darts at the CoinGecko top ten or some shit like that
where you're seeing, like, 2,000%, 1,600%, 7,000%.
So, you're talking about consistent money versus smart money.
You're talking about consistent money versus gambling.
So, you're like, I'd rather go to a casino than get a job, right?
Yeah, yeah, right.
So, that's the logic.
You're gambling right now.
You're getting all the way off the topic right now.
Gambling, gambling, gambling.
I like gambling.
Yeah, right.
Let me break it down now.
Robotnik, but that's the thing.
It's like, all right, for places that we come from, telling people in the inner cities
to get into the type of gambling that you like to do will be cat-ropping, bro.
Like, we fucking people over.
All right, man, you can get 7,000%.
Go ahead and spend.
I know you barely got a little money, but you got a little 500 left after you paid all the bills.
And then you want to be like, okay, I want to try, figure it out.
And they get in there just because the same way they can turn a 500 into 10,000,
they can turn a 500 into nothing.
And they go again, once again, a person, they got a bad taste in their mouth about trading,
about crypto, about everything.
And next time that somebody tell them down the line two years later, hey, man, the crypto,
man, they going to want to punch you in your mouth.
That's what it is.
I ain't going to lie, though.
One, I wasn't even talking about that level.
We just chopping it up amongst each other.
I kind of agree with you.
But also, here's this.
A lot of people where I come from, you can't tell them niggas like, okay,
you put 500 and then three years, you're going to see some profit.
Like, you can't tell them that either.
We're not talking about that.
That's an investment.
That for one, yes, you can because it is an investment.
Because if you put that 500 instead of putting it in the safe or that 10,000 in the safe
losing value, you can put it in an investment.
And whenever you need to get it, you can liquidate your asset.
That's for one.
For two.
You can lose?
Can you lose on it?
It's not a lose.
When you talk about.
Like, oh, the first time I bought some gold, bro, was 950 bucks an ounce.
Then every time I was spending money, I'd be like, I called my dude.
I'd be like, bro, let me get one of the little bars and shit, just 950 bucks.
And I'd buy a couple 950 bucks.
And then they went to like 1100.
I'm like, and I was, you know, people fuck off money.
So I'd be like, eh, you know, I spent some money.
I might go out on the weekend and hit my dude up on Monday.
Like, bro, let me get a bar.
1100, 1200, how much is the gold right now?
So did I lose on my investment?
I mean, it just, I can literally go take any little thing or gold and go sell it and get my money back.
I can liquidate my asset.
But for places that we come from, the problem is a lot of people want to see it in paper.
They want to see, they want to see that safe, packed with cash.
You know what I mean?
They want to bankroll.
Yeah, I got that money.
So can I tell a story real quick, Six?
Because my great grandma started investing in a stock market a long, long time ago.
Just her little pennies, I think it was like 25 cents, and she started, right?
Her assets grew to, we didn't even know.
She got six figures in her account.
You're talking about somebody who's 102 years old, right?
So somebody, this is the problem.
The problem is we look, when you look at something as, okay, I just want the money.
I just want the money versus something that can be passed down generationally.
Something that, you know, if you need it in the future, when you retire, that you can use
or something like that.
When you look at it, like, you know, an investment, right?
Because that's what we're talking about right now is investments.
We're not talking about trading.
Trading is a different monster.
When you talk about investments, you have to have a different mindset behind it.
Like if I'm going to hold something longer than a year, that's a different mind.
That's not the same mind as the person who's going to take a short trade.
Or trading shit coins is really, you need a short trade.
It's not nothing you should be holding on.
Right, because I mean, like, I see the hand up, Emily, and I'm just going to say this last
point real quick.
Like, the people who, like, they invested in, like, CDs or mutual bonds, ain't they down
right now?
Like, because of the...
But that's right now.
So historically, they are up.
Like, everything is up historically in the United States, right?
Period.
Still, you know, from its inception, it's up.
So, say, for example, if I invested 20 years ago, I would be in profit heavily right now.
So, you know, something like that, yeah, sometimes it moves slow.
But say, for example, you are buying ETFs.
You're buying something like tech companies.
Tech companies are up hundreds of percents.
You know, you're buying something like small caps.
Small caps go up hundreds of percents.
If you bought Amazon when it was in the OTC market, they went up thousands of percents.
So, you know, you have, you just have different percentage gains depending on what you're investing
in and also, you know, the amount of money too.
So, if I have millions and millions of dollars and I'm putting it in the market, would you
want to see a high volatile, something that's high volatile and your money is in it, right?
So, if I put $10 million in something that has high volatility, that means it goes up 10,000%
or it goes down 10,000%.
That's a hell of a roller coaster and a hell of a, you're risking a lot.
So, I'd rather put my large amount of money into something that moves up 2%, 2%, 10%, something
small like that because you are risking a lot of your money at the end of the day.
And if you have never risked me personally, I've risked a lot of money before.
So, I know that feeling behind it.
Oh, you will die.
I guarantee you.
I'm talking about six figures.
So, you know, risking that much money in a market, you don't want something high volatility.
So, you know, just a little mindset.
To speak on that is like, yeah, man, we don't want to get to the side, like sidetrack on the
situation that we're speaking on a smaller level.
You know, man, it can be very intimidating for a lot of people, for a normal person to
even try to sit down and have a conversation with somebody and be like, oh, shit, millions.
So, I guess I can't trade until I have hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars.
You know what I mean?
It's just a lot of small things.
It's a place.
It's kind of like everything's needed.
Just like you said, like shit coins, like penny stocks, you know, long-term investment,
short-term, all of that is just fit in the place of, you know, financial literacy and
what people needs to do, you know what I mean?
And finding what's comfortable for them.
You know, it might not be a lot for a lot of people that, okay, I got $1,000 and I can
trade and I can play with that.
And yeah, I might not make a lot of money, but if I get better, I can make a lot of money.
And it's a big difference between a big company coming in and just be like, ah, I'm going
to put $100 million and if it go up a little bit, there you go, I'm going to take it out,
there you go, I just made $1 or $10 million.
You know what I mean?
It's a big difference.
I do want to get to some of these hands.
I know some of these people have been having their hands and some people there.
You got Emily.
Emily and then Robotnik and then Mike Bryan.
Mr. Bryan, my bad.
Hi, I hope everybody can hear me okay.
Yes, we can.
How are you doing today?
Welcome from the Bacchus of Blockchain.
How are you doing?
I am fine, Six.
I've been kind of following Staxon so I know you, so I'm happy to say hello.
Thanks for having me up.
Hello, Leslie.
And I have a question for the trader.
So I am learning to read charts.
Like I'm at the very, very, very basic, like the anatomy of a candle and trying to see, you know, trends and all that jazz.
But I liked what I heard about, you know, kind of playing and practicing on either the penny stocks or the paper trading, whether for paper trading.
You don't want to start.
You don't want to start at penny stocks.
Penny stocks are confusing.
A few of us started at penny stocks, you know, and you can absolutely get robbed because there's a lot of – so the OTC market, the over-the-counter market, which is pink sheets, it's a decentralized stock market.
And, yes, it's decentralized because they don't have – there are certain tiers that don't have regulations as heavy as the traditional stock market.
So they call it the venture market.
So basically in this market, there's a lot of scams, just like in cryptocurrency.
That's why I make – sometimes I make the point of comparing two markets, which one has heavy – one, the SEC is hyper-focusing in on, which is crypto, and the other doesn't have as heavy regulation.
And I understand because it's not a lot of volume there.
But, yeah, so it's – it can be considered a scam market because there are – it's a venture market.
It's just like trading shit coins.
So there's a chance – I made a lot of money, and I made six figures in penny stocks from $2,000.
So, you know, it can be rewarding if you do it the right way.
But it also – you can also absolutely get wiped of your money because of the high amount of, first of all, volatility.
Second of all, you have a heavy dilution because it is the venture market, which is dilution is basically, you know – you can say – how do I explain this in regular?
So, basically, you have someone taking shares, right, taking money, basically.
So, you know, they use it to raise capital.
So, say, for example, the stock is going up and they're – you see dilution.
Basically, they're taking money, they're taking some capital, right?
So, I wanted to say, too, you don't want to start there.
If you do start there, there are, like, resources.
My favorite one is OTC Method.
That's one of my mentors when I got started, Penny Stocks.
I was – I'm still – I still pay attention to him.
But he has been consistent in that market for years, and he has been consistently profitable in that market for years.
So, if that's something that you're interested in, go ahead and go over there.
He has a dope Discord that's – I think it's, like, $25 a month.
But if you tell him you're a member of Stocky Ones, you get a discount.
Okay.
Can I ask you a question, Stack?
Yeah.
Before we get to the rest of the hands.
So, is it better to go for slower, consistent money than chasing a big – you know what I mean?
Like a big hit at once.
Is it more safer for – if I wanted to risk my money to take a more slow, consistent approach?
Well, I might be getting slower profits instead of just trying to risk.
You can be conservative.
You know what I mean?
You know what I mean?
I want to give him an answer based off of what I know.
So, I'm not going to give you a definitive answer because it's up to your personality.
So, I actually created an assessment to kind of assess your personality on what type of trader you are.
A lot of people miss out.
They think they're scalpers.
They think they're day traders.
But they hold too long.
Or people who are swing traders and they try to go to day trading, they can't because they hold too long.
So, people can't scalp because – I mean, people can't hold long because they're impatient.
So, they're more than likely a scalper.
So, depending on the type of trader that you are, what your personality type is what you'll excel in.
So, if you're somebody who wants fast money, you're probably a scalper.
If you're somebody that has patience and can wait a while, you're probably a swing trader.
If you're somebody who don't pay attention at all and you just want your money to grow, that's an investor.
So, depending on what type of person you are, what your personality is.
Scalper may be best if you're impatient.
You know, if you want long gains over time.
That is always – to me, that's the best method, you know, is compound gains.
That's the most consistent method I've seen everybody do.
So, compound gains are like – it's like the best way to go for me.
But if you're somebody like who's a scalper and just, you know, scalp, scalp, scalp, scalp, scalp, then you can do that.
But either way, you know, taking them small – say, for example, something goes up 10% that day.
And you take that, you know, taking those small percentages, 2%, 10%, 5% a day and building it up that way is better because the higher you go, the more risk you have too.
And that'll be safer for like if I'm just getting started, right?
If you're just getting started.
Me and Six was in the car talking about it because I was like, bro, what if I take – so if I were to take $20,000 to do this and he was explaining it to me the other day.
And he was like – he was talking about the – he was talking about the how you can get wrecked betting on the – what you were saying said, like, you can bet, you know, without having your stop loss of like –
he's like, man, you got some people that get wrecked.
Like, they – you not pay attention and you can lose a lot of money.
I was trying to understand what he was saying.
You know what I mean?
All right. So, this is where you start, right?
You got $20,000.
Don't look at that whole $20,000 as a brick.
You don't want to put a brick into the market.
You look at it as like maybe it's a loaf of bread.
You can take pieces of that bread and you go put it on the market.
So, you don't never – you never put the whole loaf in the market.
You just take pieces of the loaf.
So, maybe if there's 10 pieces of bread on your loaf, you take three pieces of bread off and you trade with that because you never want to risk your whole load.
You know what I'm saying?
Okay, okay.
Okay.
That's what I was saying.
It's not like, oh, just put your money in trying to get a brick.
Then that's a gamble for sure.
So, it's like more of a – all right.
Yeah.
So, you take small pieces and you trade with the small pieces.
Now, I mean, you a risky MF-er.
You know, you could take a larger piece.
But let me tell you something from experience.
I mean, I gained a lot of money doing that but also lost a shit ton of money.
So, if you're new –
That's what Six was saying.
Yeah.
You can get fucked up.
Yeah.
If you're new, you can blow – it's called blow up your account.
So, if you're new, I never suggest you do that.
I say, you know, put that money in and have a specific amount of money that you're willing to trade with a day.
Say, you know, you got – say if you got $2,000, you start with $2,000, you got $200, right?
You're like, all right, my goal a day is to trade with this $200.
So, that's it.
You know, any – past that, you're done.
So, you know, what is your – what is your losses a day, too?
How much are you willing to lose out of that $200 a day, too?
So, until you say you're done because you don't never want to lose the whole $200.
So, say, for example, you say, okay, I'm going to trade with this $200.
And if I lose $100 of this dollars, I'm done, or $50 of this dollars, I'm done for the day.
You know, so that's how you – that's kind of how you want to move.
It sounds small, but when I say – there's times where – because now you're talking about taking profit, right?
So, there's times where I put $200 in a trade.
It went up.
I took $100 out.
Boom.
It went up 100%.
You know, a lot of times I won't let it go that far.
But if I take my initial investment out, you know, or take enough profit out, then I'll let it go further, especially if it's pumping past my resistance levels.
So, I'll leave a third in, which is 3% of my initial investment in, and I'll watch it keep going.
Now, in crypto, they call it a moon bag, right?
So, you leave the moon bag in and watch it keep going.
And then you set stop – stop – trail and stop losses or stop losses on the way up.
And then once it breaks a certain level, then you take that profit.
I think the biggest trade that I took in one day was Ford, and that was 5,000% options trade.
So, off of – it was like $100.
So, $200.
So, you know, but I didn't leave the whole thing in.
So, you know, you can make a big trade, but you've got to have a strategy when it comes to entries and exits.
I mean, it sounds difficult, but I promise you it's not.
No, no, I've been listening, trying to seek her, because it's making sense.
Because it's kind of like when you're thinking of – especially if you're thinking of somebody like,
hang on, I was like a super addicted gambler for a long time.
I mean, six notes.
I've been at six notes there plenty of times.
Like, bro, I'm going to need something.
Because I done fucked up bad.
I done lost enough money, bro.
I don't even like talking about it.
So, I know – so, I'm listening, and I'm like, okay.
So, I'll be thinking, like, a lot – you got a lot of people that think – especially, like, people like me probably think –
everybody looking for a – I just want to let it be undercut.
Like, it's not a get-rich-quick scheme.
You know what I'm saying?
That's what everybody's looking for.
You know what I mean?
Like, you trying to just hurry up and come up fast, and it's like, it ain't – you'll get –
bro's telling me, like, bro, you'll get messed up.
You know what I mean?
So, you got to, like – so, I'm like, all right.
So, but it do make sense.
I mean, I was taught that slow money is for show money.
It's not about instant gratification when it comes to that, but I definitely appreciate Stacky breaking it down.
I know I got Robotnik, Lucky, and Emily.
I forgot I was going to say, but I will say this, though, boss.
Bro, I'm with you, bro.
It's been times on that casino floor I had to sell my iPhone 13 or something, bro.
Like, I lost all the bread in my pocket.
I overdrafted, and I still want to shoot dice.
And I'm just like, yo, bro, I'll sell you this iPhone 13 for $300 just because I know I got to get my phone back.
So, I'm going to motherfucking hit these motherfucking numbers.
So, I know.
And I think that that's why I lost what I was talking about earlier and why I just can't – it's too slow.
I don't want to go back.
I want something slow and consistent because everything that I ever did, bro, that was, like, trying to –
You're not going to cheat the grind.
You're not going to cheat the grind.
I know this for sure.
So, I ain't looking to go back into – so, I'm looking for something else that I can do.
You know what I mean?
It's more consistent and slow because I don't want no more that I'm through with that.
Let me get –
Anything I do, if I take a loss, I'm not going to do it no more like this.
Let me get to you a run on cut, the robot name.
I'm going to tell you something, brother.
Stay down to come up, bro.
The instant gratification is only going to get you so far.
Now, I have been outside for a very long time.
You know what I mean?
I haven't been out for a very long, but I have.
I came home, I've been running circles around motherfuckers.
Now, I have seen people make fast money, like 10 times the money that I'm on.
But, hey, you know, a slow drive is better than a fast walk, man, like 100%.
And a lot of the people that was, man, just making so much money so fast, it's like, bro, they sprint runners, man.
I'm a marathon runner, bro.
They sprint right now.
I used to tell them.
I said, bro, I'm going to sprint you.
Then I'm going to let you keep going.
But I got wind, bro.
I got a lot of step.
What it is is I got a lot of stamina, bro.
Stamina, that's what do it.
The people just want to run fast and get there.
They rushing to get nowhere fast.
And then they get there.
Can I say something real quick, though?
Real quick, bro.
I guess maybe it might shed a little bit of more light.
Okay, when I came into this space, a nigga came in to make money and do things, right, to help people, right, boom.
So I think I kind of took a slow grind, even as a developer and getting hired, right?
I was giving away code.
I was grinding.
I was taking it slow.
I wasn't rushing.
You see what I'm saying?
Like, I'm buying NFTs here and there.
I'm trying to look for the right one, catch that alpha.
But I think I was patient enough in this space to the point, like, when Pepe hit, like, my mom said, oh, this must be.
I remember she said it before.
And, you know, it ain't no shot or nothing.
But I remember she was like, this must be a mean coin.
You happy?
I was so fucking happy.
Because after all that grinding, I finally got that motherfucking one that sent my bread up to the roof immediately, every single day.
So it was like, I think I caught that feeling again.
You know that feeling?
How often does that happen?
But what about when somebody – I'm going to speak on that because I come from an addicted gambler.
What about when some people run out trying to catch that?
Some people don't got – some people get rigged and run out of money, and they don't be around to catch the next wave, bro.
So that's like –
Oh, no, no, no.
Yeah, that's true.
I ain't talking about the things that purely meet.
I'm going to just give an insight to my mind where I feel like –
So that's why –
Boom, like, boom, like, I took that slow – I really was patient in this space.
I took a lot of losses, too, trying.
Like, even slowly, like, you know what I mean?
Even, like, I came into ETH when ETH was around $180, right?
I didn't have the knowledge I had now because then I would have just held a lot more.
Like, I used to gamble with my Ethereum on Satoshi Dice.
Like, it was like – you know, I didn't have the knowledge I had now when Bitcoin was at $9,000, you know, when I started buying it heavy, and ETH was like $200, $180, right?
Like, I couldn't foresee the $1,400 play or the $4,200 play.
So, like, I don't know.
You're not a psychic.
Nobody is.
And you're an investor.
I'm just letting you know.
You're not a trader.
The way you're talking, you just – you're an investor.
Like, you know, you're pushing away, you know, the other ideologies when it comes to trading, which to me, you're just an investor.
You know, I don't think – like, people like you, you just invest.
So, Stax, my question real quick to you is, is that, like, a real thing, though?
Like, okay, so my look at trading and charting and shit are just educated guesses.
Oh, most of it is educated – science is educated guesses, you know?
Like, everything – a lot of the stuff we do is – so, you know, you have a hypothesis based off of data, right?
Or information that you're given.
So, the chart is the data, is the information that you're given, right?
And you're reading this chart based off of, you know, based off of numbers, based off of the amount of people buying and selling on this chart.
And then you got history.
So, I think – who said it?
It's like human emotion calculated on a chart in real time.
So, it's like statistics, right?
That's how I look at it.
Statistics blended with a little bit of, you know, psychology.
Y'all got a – y'all got a –
The meeting.
Okay, y'all got Kane.
You got Kelly.
Lucky.
Lucky was first.
Lucky was first.
Lucky was first.
He said Lucky about to kill it.
I'm the same way.
First of all, Robotnik – I want to say, yo, Robotnik has been holding it down for the culture.
I heard you in the spaces holding it down.
And he was just giving it back to, like, you know, a lot of racial tensions in this Web3 space this year – I mean, this week.
So, I followed you after I seen you giving it to him.
And I want to say, yeah, you made me proud at that moment.
But I'm the same way when it comes to investing.
And I'm a long-term investor.
I like fundamentals.
I like looking at companies like, you know, fundamentals and just investing in stuff that I believe in and just sitting and watching the money go up.
So, I came into crypto, like, early 2021.
And I basically didn't lose in 2021.
Like, I got into, like, four cryptocurrencies, like VeChain, VeThor, that one of my friends told me about.
It went up, like, 500%.
And then around, like, April, or was it, like, April, that Bitcoin just took a dump and that just broke even.
And for the whole summer, things were just, like, flat.
And then I found, like, one, basically a shit coin.
And I just put my money in there because it had a little white boy.
Okay, okay.
Let me stop you right there.
But, see, look.
Let me stop you.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Let me stop you right there.
So, you know, what you're saying is, again, that's just the gambler's mentality, right?
There's, like, there's no structure in that.
But at the same – so, you can't deliver that information to somebody, like, somebody new and say, oh, I just trust the white boy because, you know what I'm saying?
Oh, no, no, no.
It was not that I trusted the white boy.
No, I saw this – I invested in it.
Yeah, because – because not – hold on, not to interrupt you, Lucky.
So, we don't get off the topic.
Before, we got to talk about the trade.
And the topic was, if you was to get somebody in an urban city, what you're saying, if I only got $500 and I'm looking to make money, how can you invest when you don't have money?
So, that's why we're saying it's a different topic.
Like, for you to invest, you got to have some money, right, for my knowledge.
So, I'm saying, what would you – they're trying to give advice to somebody.
If they had $1,000, $2,000, $2,000 to their name, that's what they were trying to teach them about trade.
I got a question for you.
This is the thing.
A lot of people – hold on, hold on real quick.
Now, what happened is a lot of people that got into the topic and went on with personal reasons.
Yeah.
We're not talking – like, you know, man, we in the – we talking about –
Yeah, I was going to land.
I was going to land to a spot.
Okay, go ahead, go ahead, man.
The thing is that I got into a coin because I saw, like, the logo looked cute.
It was a little white boy and a dog on a logo.
And I just ate my money into it, you know, like, five figures into it.
And that thing turned into, like, multiple six figures.
And I was like, wow, okay, I just, like, 40X my bag.
And I'm like – and then I cashed out at the very top.
I was, like, super lucky.
These things just happened.
And then I'm like, okay, I'm sitting on nearly a half a million dollars.
I just 40X'd.
I could easily 3X based on the same strategy.
And those strategies, like, made me lose a shit ton of money.
So can I say something, too?
How does that transcend into you saying that to somebody else, right?
So if you explained your strategy to somebody else, do you think that's a strategy that everybody could use to win or to gain profit?
Do you think – because you said it's fundamental, but what are the actual fundamentals that you've seen?
Other than a logo, what a cute animal, or –
Yeah.
See, the thing is, like, the fundamentals change in the bull market because, like, in the bull market, money just starts raining down.
What's a bull market?
Yes.
No, that's the point.
Yeah, money just rains down on food.
Now, what is a bull market?
So a bull market is like when, like, all the coins are going up because there's a lot of –
Why do they go –
Yeah, because there's a lot of money entering the market.
A lot of people are buying into the market, so all of the assets start appreciating.
And when you have these red days, you have green days, and you just have multiple green days.
What is a red day?
A red day is like when the stock goes down.
You don't lost me.
Like, I understand what you're saying, but the whole thing about this room is like I'm breaking it down for people.
Because those are questions that people might not even be –
Can I say this?
They're not confident enough to ask.
They just – they asked that in their head.
Now they lost it.
Now they don't want to hear about it.
He made a good point.
So he made a good point.
And this is where everybody get lost at because, you know, people who've been around, like, multiple cycles, they see – it's a cycle.
So markets are cyclical, so they go up and down, right?
They go up and down, up and down, right?
You have a bull and a bear.
You have the up and the down, right?
So, you know, if you enter in the beginning of a bear – of a bull market, and it's a strong bull market, right?
I think we were in the Super Bowl market.
I'm not sure.
But, you know, if everything is going up, then usually – and it'll sustain value longer, then you'll get random fucking shit coins.
You could throw a dart in a damn board and catch a ton of stuff.
Like, I know plenty of people who had no clue how to trade at all or invest in anything just bought some random stuff and it went up, right?
Like, I can show you my investment account for three months last year.
I took – I screenshot it.
I want to say out of that three months, we may have had, like, a week of red days, right?
So, you know, when you trade like that or when you invest like that, you can pretty much throw anything and it sticks.
Now we are in a bear market, right?
A bear market is determined by 20% from all-time highs.
But, you know, we're in a bear market.
So now you have things – you got lower lows, right?
So you'll see a spike.
This is where – you'll see the spike in the market, but it'll go lower.
So you'll get the lower highs and the lower lows.
That's a bear market.
That's when things are going – are in a downward trend.
So when you have things going in a downward trend and you see a rally, which is going up for a short amount of time,
then you'll see tokens, coins, and everything go up along with that rally of Bitcoin, right?
So that's what you'll see.
So that's why you're not seeing sustainable meme coins or sustainable anything because we're still in a downward trend on Bitcoin.
So the same thing with traditional markets.
We're still in a downward trend.
I think we may have broke from a downward trend on the stock market.
But if we're in a bear market, then you'll usually see downward – you'll see less sustainable tokens, less sustainable stocks, you know, going on the up and up.
So, you know, so it's easy to say in a bull market that you can throw it in the sticks.
But in a bear market, you will lose more than you will win.
So with that method.
So, you know, I would say – I would say, you know, since you have a method of doing things,
maybe even, like, thinking about what you really thought when you got into these tokens.
Because a lot of times, like, even with me when I was shit coin hunting, I wanted to get in before everybody else.
So I was looking for the coins in the Telegram rooms, right, before they got to Twitter.
So my method was I'm going on these Telegram rooms.
I'm seeing who got the pre-sum, who got the jack-sum, you know.
Yeah, who got the alpha information.
Who got the – you know, but that's not any deliverable something that I would give to somebody who has their savings and they want to invest their savings into something, you know.
So congratulations to you, though.
Like, I have nothing against that because I've made money doing some crazy shit, you know.
But congratulations to you, you know.
And if anybody can make money the way you did, more power to them.
I've just seen some crazy stuff in this space.
So, you know, congratulations to you 100%.
Oh, thanks.
The thing is, is that I try to take that strategy into the bear market and I lost a shit ton of money.
So now that I'm looking in other ways, like, is trading better or – but I know that I don't have the attention span for it.
And I'm a creative and I like to build stuff.
But I'm not really sure.
Like, I'm kind of like – maybe I just wait for the bear – for the bull market and then I'll just start trading the same way.
What not financial advice you got for that, right?
What'd they say about the bear market?
Shit, that's why they make billionaires and millionaires in the bear market.
That's why you build for what I know, you know, man.
No, that's exactly what I wanted you to say.
In the bear market, you just focus on getting your knowledge up.
You focus on trying to find different ways to actually get some capital, get some money in,
trying to big up your bag or fiat so you can actually invest the things that are at a lower point.
At the same time, with all these hedge funds, all these companies, all these families and the rich stay rich because they –
hey, man, they go balls to the wall during times like this.
Because no matter what happens, when you know things is going back up, whether it's stocks, whether it's property, whether it's crypto,
you know if I put $1,000 in, right, and I know this – whatever I put this $1,000 in is down 90%,
you know you're going to get some money up.
You know what I mean?
It just – it's a game.
How long is it going to last?
Is it going to last a year?
Is it going to last two years?
And I got a question.
So you – I want to say this, right?
In the bull market, you throw shit in the sticks, right?
All right, cool.
So you know right now that the market is down and there's some good – because usually in the bear market,
you kind of realize, okay, all the shit I was throwing stuff in, it obviously didn't go keep going up.
You know, they weren't – a lot of shit rubbed.
You know, they no longer have things going or whatever, right?
So what right now – I want you to think because I think I did this a while back,
but I want you to think the things that are still going, they still have news,
they still have things that are launching, they're building platforms, people are building on top of it.
What cryptocurrencies right now that are super low are you willing to put that shit coin capital that you made into
so that it can grow on the next cycle, right?
That would be the blue chips.
What do you consider the blue chips?
I would say maybe, like, the top 10 coins.
Okay, okay.
If that's something that you think that's a good idea, then yeah, you know?
For those, yeah.
And then some people who are, like, building stuff that can – reputable developers that are building stuff
that could possibly be in the top 10.
But a lot of times in, like, these cryptocurrencies, they don't have a long shelf life.
So, like, they'll die out even before the next bull season, you know?
No, no, no.
You're on a – there you go.
So, just taking an account.
Like, okay, who's been around?
Who's still working?
You know, a lot of people say Bitcoin.
They just go straight to Bitcoin.
They're like, okay, Bitcoin.
I'm just going to throw my money.
You know, you managed to sell at the top for some of this stuff, right?
So, you're in profit.
You're totally in profit, 100%.
So, you're like, okay, I have this capital now, and I want to throw it back into something, right?
And if you're a believer, of course, it's going to be Bitcoin or Ethereum or something like that, right?
So, you know, not financial advice for anybody, but if you have, like, shitcoin profits
and you wanted something more stable, that's what the thought process is.
And you may well be wondering that, like, okay, how can I still make profit off of this thing?
And the answer is something a little bit more stable or something that you have trust over.
You trust a little bit more.
A little bit more.
You got hands.
You want to go to hand?
I'm picking them.
Oh, yeah, you got a Cali.
Hi, everybody.
Can you guys hear me?
Hey, Cali.
Hey.
So, I just wanted to introduce myself because I've been lurking in here for about two weeks now.
I found you guys, you know, through the racist trauma a couple of weeks ago that we don't need to bring up with.
But, you know, I just wanted to introduce myself and say that I've been in cryptos.
And I'm really nervous, actually.
I just want to say that, too.
I've been in cryptos since October 2020.
I agree with a lot of people were saying, like, at that time, you throw, you know, throw a dart at anything.
But I have to say, like, I put $10,000 in at that time.
And I didn't, you know, not all at once.
And I spread it out and I DCA'd.
And at the time, I was only going for, like, Bitcoin, Ethereum, ADA, and XRP, pretty much.
Didn't even know what I was doing and ended up cycle trading.
Like, I didn't even know I was cycle trading.
But I ended up, like, cycle trading my way up, 8X'd, you know, made, you know, my income that I was, my salary at work, which was awesome.
Got into NFTs, got pretty heavy in the NFTs, made some good, like, accidentally made some good money on a sandbox lot.
Got into some Zed Run horses, like, horse NFTs, where you could, like, breed them and race them.
And I was literally making my rent on just breeding my horses at that, like, you know, in the bear market or whatever.
Like, it was really popping or whatever.
So, I just wanted to say, like, I'm really happy to have found you guys.
And I feel like I have a lot of knowledge to offer, and I would love to offer some knowledge.
And just one more thing.
I just want to, like, break down, like, how I go about things.
I hear a lot of people talking about, like, how, you know, risk management and things like that.
So, at first, I thought I was going to be a hodler.
Like, oh, first, you have to figure out, like, what type of investor you are.
Like, everyone was saying, like, your personality psychology is, like, a huge part of this.
And I'll say, like, I'm mostly interested in crypto.
I do a little bit of forex trading, ignorantly, I'll admit.
I'll admit I'm not a good leverage trader, but I'm a good, like, spot trader.
And I'm good at getting in and out.
Like, so, I don't, I no longer believe in hodling.
I think, I don't want to say, like, you're a fool if you hodl.
But the logic is, like, let's say you got in at, let's just use Bitcoin.
If you got in at Bitcoin at 10K and it tops at 60K.
If you sit there and hodl and sit there and watch it go back to 15, you've done really much of nothing.
If you've sold at 60K or at least tried to get even at 45K, that's where I sold, and get back in at 15 or get back in at 20, you've doubled your Bitcoin.
So, I just don't, I don't believe in hodling, but I don't, I also don't believe in, like, gambling.
And that's where I wanted to just break, sorry if I'm talking too much, but, sorry, that's where I just wanted to break down, like, risk tolerance.
And, like, so, I have a long-term account and I have a percentage broken down to that and, let's say, a 60%.
And, yeah, I'm not touching it for now, but once I feel like we, and you shouldn't use feel, don't use feelings, like, use your charts and everything like that.
But once I feel like it gets to, like, the top, I'm going to sell.
I'm not going to hold, even though, even though that's my long-term bag.
And then maybe I have a 40% bag that's in, like, short-term, like, maybe I will, like, sell and, whatever, sell and hold and, you know, buy different coins and this and that.
And then I have, like, barely, like, 1%, just 1%, because I have the gambling tendency too.
And I learned that because I lost, like, I don't know, 3% of my entire portfolio just trying to leverage trade and gamble, which that might not sound like a lot.
But, you know, do your own portfolio and see what 3% is.
And, you know, you shouldn't just be throwing that.
You shouldn't just be throwing that away.
But also, like, all of this is nothing that I'm willing, you know, not willing to lose.
So, you know, it's not going to kill me.
Nothing's going to kill me.
I'm a victim of Celsius.
It was a big portion, but it didn't kill me because that was money I was willing to lose.
So, yeah, I think that's it for now.
But, yeah.
Thank you, Kelly.
Thank you for listening.
Appreciate you.
I appreciate you.
What's going on, Emily and then Nikki?
Wait, before we go, I wanted to talk about the hodol thing, Emily.
I'm sorry, baby.
But I think a lot of times, too, I wouldn't say you don't believe in hodling.
It's just like a different, like, okay, I'm a compartmentalizing person, right?
I put things into little boxes.
So I have an investment account, which is considered like a hodl account, right?
You do, too.
So, you know, you invest in hodl things that have worth and value.
So, for example, when you invest in something, it's usually longer than one cycle, right?
So if I invest in Tesla a few years ago, right, and the first dip down, I decided to take my money out, then I would not have gained all the gains that Tesla had to offer now, right?
So I think we need to compartmentalize what our investments are.
So if I'm investing, do I believe in the fundamentals of this company?
Has anything fundamentally changed?
And am I willing to hold this thing long term?
And do I have it?
Now, I think investment does require a bit of faith in CEOs.
So, you know, do I believe that this person is leading this company into the right direction?
So I think even in cryptocurrency, you know, or with cryptocurrency, you would say, basically, is this thing sustainable long term, right?
Does it have any value to the people that use it?
And is it being used?
So, you know, I think, you know, with those things, you know, hodling is kind of important.
If you're trading, that's a different mindset.
So now you're in a different box.
Your brain is in a different box when you're trading.
So trading, you want to make sure you're getting profit.
You want to make sure you have your stop losses set, you know, supply and demand zones.
You want to make sure that you are following your rules when it comes to trading.
And it depends.
So if you're swing trading, so, you know, that's shorter than a year and longer than a day.
How long are you planning on holding a swing for?
Or, you know, what's your entry and exit, blah, blah, blah, blah.
So and if you're scalping, you know, you have your strategy and your plan for that.
So it's like putting your brain into different boxes when you're doing different things.
I have an investment account in crypto.
I have an investment account in traditional stocks.
And believe it or not, I still have my penny stock investment account.
But, you know, but I also have my trading accounts.
Right.
So, you know, when I'm hopping into different accounts, I'm hopping into a different brain.
So I agree with all that stuff.
Yeah.
100.
Thank you, ladies, for that six.
I'm sucking as a co-host today.
Maybe you should co-host Staki.
We'll go to Emily and then Nikki.
All right.
Drop down.
I don't know what you're doing.
There might be five other spaces you in.
I was taking a shower six.
What the F?
Nah, I know what she was doing.
Five spaces.
Like, literally, how were you in five?
Because I told y'all I got a lot to say.
I got a lot to say before we end.
Six.
I'm resourceful.
We got hats up.
We'll go after the hats.
I'm going to tell you.
No, no, no, no.
I'm going to tell y'all what it is.
I will explain myself after.
No, no, no, no.
I've been taking notes, right?
And then I was kind of, because I got something to say regarding a lot of these group chats.
As a host, what are you doing in other spaces too, host?
Oh, hold on.
I just told you what I, no, no, no.
You're not going to change.
What I was doing, I'm keeping track of a lot of shit because I'm going to like remove myself
from like a lot of group chats and a lot of, I keep getting added to things that make
zero sense to me.
Because like I say, I have my closing statements once we're done with this.
Six.
I'm an entrepreneur.
I'm scouting talent.
I have to do a lot of things at once and be resourceful, period, dot, exclamation point.
What's going on, Nikki?
And then, I mean, what's the Emily first, right?
Emily and then Nikki.
Then Nikki.
I almost care.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's fine.
It's fine.
My question is because I'm learning.
It's simple, but I think I got a lot from this conversation.
So, I just wanted to confirm my understanding.
So, I'm trying to see how do I stack up my knowledge?
How do I scale it up, right, like in progression?
So, I have a list here and I just want to check if my understanding and logic is sound.
So, here we go.
So, I think that from understanding the anatomy of, like, knowing how to read the charts and
having, like, a candle and knowing where things open and close, then I should move on with
understanding probably resistance and support, right?
Because I have started a class.
Yes.
So, I know a little something, right?
So, do you know trends?
Yeah.
Go ahead.
So, I was asking, do you know trends?
So, you know.
Do I know trends?
Okay.
I know of trends.
I cannot fully, fully spot a trend.
Like, you couldn't tell me, okay, look at the charts and spot me a trend.
But it's something that I'm trying to look at that and know better.
And then, in the end, would I have, like, psychology and philosophies and know, like,
the cycles?
How do you come in and out?
Because I want to know, like, how do I progress in being comfortable with fully trading from
the paper thing?
I'm going to say, start off, keep it simple, stupid.
K-I-S-S, right?
Keep it simple, right?
Right.
You got candles.
You got support and resistance levels.
You got being able to recognize the trend, being able to recognize breakdowns and breakouts.
You know, and I think that's your very basic.
So, you know, all the other stuff is noise.
A lot of times, a lot of other things are noise, right?
You start to pick up different indicators and things like that along the way.
So, I suggest you start at the very basics, which is candles, trends, support and resistance
levels.
Being able to understand, you know, how do I chart a support and resistance level, right?
Three candle bodies.
You know what I'm saying?
Wicks included.
But, you know, being able to spot, you know, support and resistance levels, being able to
chart them on any time frame, you know, being able to recognize candles.
What candles are you using right now?
Oh, what candles?
Oh, my God.
I use Heike Asshai.
And I use, I've used hollow candles.
And I've used traditional candles.
My favorite candles are Heike Asshai.
And my favorite candles to use.
But traditional candles is usually what people use.
And in traditional candles, you can spot a gap up and a gap down in them very well.
But so maybe start at traditional candles.
But keep it simple at first.
You know, if you cloud your mind with all the information that's out there, you'll get
absolutely nowhere, like zero.
So kind of focusing in on the basics and then building your strategy from there.
That's a good tip.
Those are all my tips.
Hey, y'all, I want to, I want to, I want to, hold on real quick.
Where's the dad?
Where's the dad?
There you go.
I know I talk a lot about, a lot about, a lot about, but this is the thing.
This is, this is the thing.
This is the, nah, nah, we're not going, I'm not going that far.
But, uh, I do want to give credit when credit's due.
One thing for sure, you know your shit and it's dope.
You know, it, when it comes down, some people allow their pride.
What it is is people just like to just talk just because they can't.
And shit, I know how to shut the fuck up.
When people is actually dropping out some jams, some information that I'm familiar with,
but I don't know the specifics, I like to listen.
And I'm going to ask questions and I'm going to break it down.
That's why I'm going to, that's why I asked the guy early, I'm like, what is the, what
is the red candle?
You know what I mean?
What is the red day?
What is the green day?
Because some people really don't know.
A lot of us do, but some people don't know.
And those are the questions that popped up in their head.
So it's always good to break it down, especially here.
Appreciate you, Stackey.
You've been, you've been over here battling.
Giving it to me.
Because I did it for years.
And when people come in and step in, you know, I did it for years and years.
I mean, every day for years.
So, you know, I got some shit, right?
Y'all give it up for dogs in the building.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We on you.
We on you.
Yeah, man.
We know you.
You see, we get all up in your business.
Y'all have my OG name.
Yeah, my OG name.
But I want to say that a lot of people speak word salad, right?
I go into these spaces and these rooms and people speak word salad.
And it's word salad because it, you're offering no information.
You're offering no information and you're using big words.
And it's so annoying because people like me who speak very plainly, you know, I remember
I was in Mario Norfolk's space and I told everybody that the market was going down.
I don't know.
I think it was, it was when he first started doing his spaces and everybody was so bullish
on the market, right?
And I'm like, the market is going down.
You know what I'm saying?
And I gave my presentation and all that.
And I got laughed at.
And it was so funny because Wendy was like, no, you know, she's right, blah, blah, blah.
So me and Wendy were, we're kind of the only people who were saying like the market is about
the reverse.
And lo and behold, these people had all these words, salad answers.
They had, you know, um, yeah, you know, support and resistance level of the CPI of the,
you know, of the standard deviation of pie and, and the equal, all of these, all of these
fucking words.
And it just, I'm like, it's still, it doesn't matter what words you put in front of it.
If you don't have a good strategy or if you don't have, um, if you don't have like any
kind of like, you haven't studied shit, you just read something off of, off a trading view
probably and regurgitated.
Yeah, you can have that, but you just regurgitated it.
Then, you know, uh, and added some spicy words to it because you went to a, you went to a nice
private school.
You know, it doesn't mean nothing.
It means zero if it's wrong.
Right.
So, so, uh, you know, if you, if you speak a little bit of word salad, I suggest you,
you know, throw it out there in plain language.
The people who are listening are not the people, not the people on stage.
So, you know, that's what I try to do.
I try to give it to people in plain language.
And, and I think that that is more beneficial than all the word salad, fancy shit that goes
on on these damn stages.
Wait, Nikki's hand fell off waiting.
Nikki, what's up?
Yeah.
Cause we need to retweet the room and like, you know, man, and share since the co-host decided
to say something.
What's up, Nikki?
What's up, man?
I'm sorry.
I put my hand down.
Cause I thought, uh, I couldn't hear what you guys said, but, uh, I thought I already
got skipped on this topic.
I was going to say some coins that I think, uh, you can make money on.
And at this point, like the prices of some like polygon, bro, algo, like I'm not maxis
in these things.
I'm not like, I'm not secretly speaking truth, but no, I'm just saying they're like 60 cents
or some shit, bro.
Or algo is like 12 cents.
And if you get regular paychecks, you know, you're not a big whale right now.
You can stack the fuck up and you can make little profits, you know, take profits, flip
it, flip it, keep taking little profits and become a whale.
You know, like I'm telling you, Polygon and shit was like a dollar 19 dude.
And I'm like, fuck man.
It's going to keep going up.
It's under a dollar, bro.
That's free cash.
Anything under a dollar, man.
Why the fuck not?
And they're not shit coins.
You know, and you go on LinkedIn and shit.
You want to see if things are okay, bro.
Like CoinDesk and all the big fucking VCs are all back in what?
Like Polygon, right?
And shit like that.
So it's not going anywhere and it's under a dollar.
You can't, you can't lose.
There's a lot of things that's getting built on Polygon on the low.
Yeah.
I just hate the word.
Mm hmm.
Where are you from?
Melbourne.
Chicago.
Mm hmm.
Where do you?
Mm hmm.
Shout out, right?
Nah, Chicago.
Excuse me.
Chicago.
Excuse me.
Yeah, hold on.
Sorry, I sneezed.
My bad.
Nah, go ahead, man.
Go ahead, Nikki.
Yeah.
You said I sneezed.
It was funny.
Are you going to answer him?
What?
Wait, what he asked?
Where you from?
Where you from, Stax?
Oh, no, I'm from Philly originally, but I'm in Atlanta right now.
Okay, Philly.
I might be in Texas.
Do I want some water?
Water.
Water?
Oh, okay.
You mocking me right now.
Great looking girls there.
Terrible accent.
Water.
Okay, Nikki.
Nikki came in here.
Not.
So my ex.
Hello.
You don't like my accent, Nikki?
He said you're hot, but not your accent.
He said my accent is trash.
You don't like my accent, Nikki?
No, I was like in the Denny's there one time or some shit, and the waitress said, you
want some water?
I was like, what the fuck is there?
Water.
What's wrong with water?
It sounds dirty.
I don't know.
I want water.
I don't know.
It just sounds like too late without no shit.
Water?
That's what it sounds like too late without no shit.
Water?
It sounds like it's brown water.
I don't know what water is.
Water.
Okay.
I do say water still.
I can't find the tea.
It's definitely water.
It's okay.
You made it out the trenches, girl.
You get water now.
This motherfucker.
I like this motherfucker.
All right.
Cool.
All right.
You can stick around.
Dope.
I just followed you.
Nikki's my homie, y'all.
Nikki's my homie.
Of course.
If you follow Leslie, then yeah.
Okay.
Where's Money Mom?
Nikki is witty.
You got a question?
Money Mom is actually busy right now.
She been hustling, hustling, hustling, hustling.
But I will be in Texas.
Me and Leslie working it out.
Me and the girls, I'm bringing the kids.
So I will be in Texas with Leslie for a few weeks.
And six, man.
I don't know.
I might be over there because we going to work out.
What's up?
Yeah.
Because I was thinking about it.
But the kids, I'm bringing the kids down with Leslie.
And then we're going to ride over there to the, back to school.
Hell yeah.
So I'm going to bring the kids in.
Leslie, I think she's bringing the old heads, her old kids too.
Teach them something.
I'm going to bring them as interns.
And help.
Yeah.
So they can help.
Bust them around.
So of course, you know, I'm going to show up.
I'll be there.
I think everybody else should be there too.
Remy, you coming?
So I do got a question.
Wow.
Since we in this topic.
We are in this topic.
Let me see.
Let me.
Six, you run.
Say what?
Do you run?
Don't answer it, bro.
I'm running.
Only from 12.
Don't answer it.
Don't answer it.
No, because Stackey said she wants to exercise.
And Stackey likes to run.
Don't answer it.
I don't even.
I don't even.
I don't even need to.
I don't even run from the police.
Oh, shit.
I'm in.
What?
Run.
They go with this bullshit.
I got a little shorty bullshit every motherfucking day.
So now for the other topic.
It was a trading man.
It was it was an amazing space, man.
Trading and investing.
I do got a few things about this that I've been talking for the last few days because it's kind of been.
People keep talking about this support shit.
Support, support, support, support, support, support.
All right.
But where is everybody from all these stupid ass group chats that people keep adding me in?
All black chats.
All Latin chats.
All shit.
Every community chat.
Where where where is the people?
Like like like I stack.
Let me ask you something.
Let me ask you something, Stackey, because you in a lot of them groups with me.
What's the point of creating some of these group chats to support people or our people or whatever, however they want to call it now.
When people call it out, you know, I'll be the bad guy today.
I'll be the bad guy.
You're not the bad guy.
I like this, though.
You know.
So where is the people?
For example, I just got added to a group to a week ago.
We've been talking.
It's a whole lot of people.
It's 85 people in the group.
And out of those 85, probably four people out of the group chat is in this in this thing in three of them.
I know.
So what is the point?
So I think I think a lot of these groups start with good intentions, right?
They just started.
We haven't even had time to get bad intentions.
We just.
No, no, no.
That group been around.
Six have been around.
So I just got added.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
That's not.
I just.
Hold on.
Hold on.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I just got back to the group chat.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Okay.
So why did I just get added?
Who do you think added you to the group chat?
So why?
Oh, I'm gone.
Fuck that group chat.
Okay.
So I added.
I added six because they started talking about.
All right.
This is what I know about you.
They started talking about doing shit.
So I was not adding you.
I was not adding you into a group chat where they wasn't doing shit.
Okay.
So that's my thought process behind it.
But, you know, they, this is the first week they started talking about doing some good
stuff.
So I'm like, okay, six, six has something that he has going on.
They talking about money.
So maybe he'll be interested.
So that's my thought process, but I'm not.
Okay.
So no, no, no, no.
Okay.
Okay.
No, no, no.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Okay.
So, okay.
So people, they go again.
And once again, like I always say, people talk about doing good stuff.
Right.
And don't nothing get done.
So what is the point?
Like, that's the thing.
It's like, I just can't stand.
Some people think that like they too big for their own or like they got a big following.
They don't have to.
Like some of the biggest motherfuckers, uh, names in, in, in the space, fuck with me
in real life.
So it's like, that's that, that alone is like, they support me more than some of the people
just coming up.
And it's funny to me because you know, you know, literally, you know, I don't care.
Okay.
Six, I got questions for you.
Okay.
No, wait, wait, let me finish.
Let me finish answering Chris, Chris, six, right?
Who the fuck?
But anyway, let me finish your answer.
So, um, these groups, right?
They have good intentions.
You know, I'm always, I'm always kind of in line with what you'd be thinking.
Right.
Because I'm the, I'm the same person that I get a lot of support from the bigger people
or the, you know, everybody else than I do sometimes.
The people that everybody talk bad about.
Yes.
Yes.
So I get a lot of support from them people too.
So it's just like, you know, I feel the same way.
And for me and you, I know that we, we try to make things happen.
And, uh, you know, without our own pride and without our own egos, um, into these things,
right?
We'll, we'll be willing to work with whoever, just as long as we get this shit done.
Right.
By any means necessary.
Right.
Cause that's my thought process behind shit.
A lot of people, they don't want to work with certain people.
They, they, you know, they have their pride in their egos in a way.
So things don't get done.
You know, people hold resources to themselves.
Like for example, if I have, I have a network of people that, you know, I say I can, I can
give to people and, and I don't, I don't, I don't show, I don't, I don't share my network
with you.
Then what's the point of us having this conversation.
Right.
So there's certain, I've, this is not the first group I belong to that I had, you know,
I've been here, but there's not the first group of people that I belong to, uh, that I
had ended up leaving because a lot of things didn't get done.
So that's why I create my group chats.
And that's why I love your group chat is because genuine people, you know, no matter what genuine
people are always going to want to show up.
Right.
And I try to, I try to pull the genuine people together and the people who are doers and not
just talkers.
And, and then we work from there.
Right.
And I think that's the same thing that you do is that, okay, I want to be surrounded
around, around people that doing shit.
That's actually showing up to shit.
It's actually moving and shaking.
Right.
That's what I want.
But a lot of times we get, we get like jaded, but because, because we're like, okay, well,
these people don't look like me.
So I want to just work with the people that look like me.
Like, you know, but just the thing, miss a step.
Like a hundred percent, I understand that.
So I'm, I think I need to be louder about it because I'm like, that's annoying.
Like people, and I'm not saying some of the people that we talk to, it just, I, I've been
sitting back enough letting people just say, oh man, we need to, I'm trying to do, I didn't
watch people talk about what they want to do in the inner cities.
Right.
From a distance.
Right.
And I'm like, okay, you know, that's what we do.
Right.
So when we get it done, the reason why they don't approach me is because when you approach
me, you got to approach me.
Correct.
You have to be ready to get it done.
It ain't got nothing to do with nothing.
It just, it has to be because I'm already doing it.
So you're not stopping nothing.
You're not really, you add it on.
You can add on to what's already been done, getting done.
But that's one of the things is, so I'm just, you know, calling out people, all these, we
need, this is what we need to do.
Let's do like, it's getting done.
What's the problem?
Um, like, like, okay, what's, what's going on?
You know?
So I just be, I peep shit, you know what I mean?
It's like, and I don't take social media like seriously, you know what I mean?
It's a great marketing tool.
It's a great networking place, but like, see personal, like I got, I got, I got a real life,
you know what I mean?
This is, I just come out here and fuck with y'all.
Uh, so it's like, everybody got a real life.
They just come here to vibe with people, fuck with motherfuckers, build, learn something,
you know, it's a good, good avenue.
It's, it's, it's a good tool to have.
But when it comes down to like real life shit, I can't take it serious.
Cause it'll be a problem because people is here.
So fucking full of shit.
It's just a hell of full of shit.
And it just get tired.
And like, ah, man, my God, like this is, go ahead.
I feel you.
I think a lot of the times, um, people come in here and they form networks and there's some
people who are here to like extract the, uh, financial part out of, um, you know, crypto.
And there's some people who are actually building some people who are actually building, uh, actual
networks where you can actually produce something.
And I think that's where a lot of things get lost is that a lot of times people form groups
just to see what's the next alpha and to see where can they throw money to.
Oh yeah.
This is the thing.
Now we're not talking about that.
Lucky, lucky is like, yeah, there is alpha, like I'm in a lot of alpha groups, bro.
And there's like, I'm in the eight chats.
I'm on every other chat that some shit is like, I done left a lot of chats because I
realized, bro, they add you to shit.
There's like, you know, I'm like, I don't even, I don't even feel right being here.
You know what I mean?
Cause I see what's going on.
I see what y'all doing.
It's a lot of people with a lot of money.
It's like, Hey, this is what we doing.
Oh yeah.
No, this is not what I'm trying to do.
I'm gone.
I'm going to exit left.
I ain't tripping.
You know, that's what people like.
They got alpha chats.
Then they, you have engagement chats.
Then you have chats for certain things.
That's this.
We need all of that.
What's your favorite chat?
Mine.
It's my fucking.
That motherfucker be more, man.
Come on, man.
You know where, you know, man, I'm going to go over there.
You know what the crazy ass.
You know what the crazy ass is.
The problem.
I'm going to tell you what it is.
That dungeon.
You got some crazy motherfuckers in there, bro.
Like, you know, I like to collect the crazy.
Like, I know you like, you put all the little crazies in one place.
And it's like, I'd be like, what the fuck?
At first it was like a networking group.
Then it just became, I like, I like weird ass people.
Like the oddest damn.
Literally.
Like, you literally, that's what you like.
And you collect them all in one place.
And like, call it the dungeon.
And I'm like, yo, what the fuck?
And it just, it'd be funny and shit.
But, and it'd be some alpha.
And motherfuckers be talking.
But it's like, I'd be like, yo, this is people.
It's fucking crazy.
They fucking crazy.
So, it's, it's different chats.
But when people create things just for one vision and nothing gets done, it's like, ah, man.
God, shit.
Can I, can I tell you what a lot of this shit be, bro?
Uh, let's see.
Can you hear me, bro?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, go ahead.
All right, all right.
I can't really hear.
I can't really, uh, hold on.
All right, babe.
You can, everybody hear me?
Yeah.
All right.
Hell with this.
Anyway, this is what I was about to say, bro.
This is what it is, bro.
And it's just the raw.
See, I can get a raw untalked.
I can't be counseled.
I have, I'm just here learning.
Uh, I can't be the villain.
I don't give a fuck.
Uh, so look.
This is where to go, bro.
I'm probably new to this Twitter shit and some of this crypto space.
But I ain't new to life.
I've been killing life for a minute.
So, this is what it be, bro.
And you know what it be.
It's the fucking egos, bro.
Everybody got these egos.
If you got some dope shit going on, they don't want to support it if they can't be the person
getting the credit for it.
That's all I'm seeing, bro.
I'm in these spaces.
I'm listening.
I mean, I've been in group chats.
I'm watching.
I'm in these spaces.
I'm looking.
That's what I like about, like, the people that you built.
You know what I'm saying?
Even the people that's on this stage.
Because if I'm supporting somebody, bro, if I got something going, let's say Stacky got
something going.
If she's doing something, I can come support her.
I don't need her to give me credit.
Oh, boss did this.
He did this.
You know what I'm saying?
And you got people I'm noticing in these spaces.
They won't support you unless you put them.
They want to be.
You can be.
You can be the build.
You can build some shit and been doing some shit.
They can come one day and acting like they support you.
But they want to support you just to get the light.
They want to make it about them, basically.
And I noticed that when a motherfucker can't make it always about them, then they don't
want to do it.
It's just, it's a lot of that going on.
We can be having the conversation that everybody takes the person to want to make it about them
instead of the point of us trying to help people.
It's not about you, bro.
It's not about that, bro.
Like, I don't, I don't.
It's just like I was saying, when Six gave me some backpacks and I took them to my hood
to the ghetto where people don't go.
You know what I'm saying?
And if you don't know too many people, I advise you not to go.
But what I'm saying is, I told, hey, people was crying to you, oh, thank you for this.
I'm like, man, thank my homeboy.
No, he really gave this to me.
You know what I mean?
I'm not making it about me.
I'm not going around saying, oh, yeah, I just did this for y'all, even though I passed
it out.
But, hey, he donated it.
It's not, I don't got no problem with giving that person the ups.
Like, hey, man, they did this.
You know what I'm saying?
And that's what, it's just a lot of egos in it.
And that's why people can't come together and do a lot of shit, because everybody, it's just
like sports, bro.
It's just like, you know what I mean?
It's just like anything in life.
Like, when egos get involved, everything breaks down.
You know what I mean?
Like, everybody got to be a team player.
You don't, you don't, everybody got to play their role.
You know what I'm saying?
Everybody can't be the fucking leader.
Everybody can't be the fucking captain.
You got to know what you can do.
You know what I mean?
So, if I go into something and don't, I don't know, it's just the whole thing, man.
I just think it's egos.
Egos, so motherfuckers want to, we want to fuck with six.
We want to fuck with six, but we want to make it.
If you don't make it about them, oh, then I ain't supporting what he got going.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, it's just bullshit, bro.
That's why I be telling people, I'm not here.
This the first space I listen to that I've been in the last weeks, and we ain't talking
about that bullshit that was going on.
It's the first one, bro.
For the last week, every space I got into, they talking about some bullshit going on.
I'm like, fuck, fuck, put all the energy into that shit.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, come on, bro.
It's not.
What the fuck, bro?
You're like 100% right, though.
I've seen it a million times.
Yeah, right.
Can y'all hear me?
Yeah, I'm kind of right.
Hold on.
Now, now I hear you.
Like, you 100% right, though.
Like, yeah.
Yeah.
Like, you 100% right.
Me and Stackey had this conversation, because I'm like, a lot of people only want to support
as long as they benefit from it, as long as they, or some people just, like, listen,
I come from a different background, so it's like, I pay attention to a lot of small stuff.
So, some people might pop up one time and come and just, hey, what's going on?
I know friends be busy.
I don't expect somebody to be here all the time.
Every time I open a space, I don't expect my people to, but I know who is who.
I know that people, they only come here when it's bigger rooms.
Only come here when, once in a while, just to show face so you don't look like a hater.
But, you know.
GB mom just hit me up.
He reached 100K, y'all.
So, congratulations.
We got this man to 100K.
Hopefully, you know, I know his parents, so if you got anything like financial literacy
that you want to talk about with kids or something like that, you want to show him,
then I'll talk to his mom.
We'll work something out and get him out there.
We can set some up.
Set some stuff up at some schools.
I know we talked about it before.
Mm-hmm.
Show him that his kids are selling it.
Yeah, bro.
Want them to show?
So, what it be, bro?
It's the ego shit.
Motherfuck got the ego, bro.
You know how that shit be, man.
All right, but they're going to learn.
It's the same shit we deal with in real life.
That's what motherfuckers don't understand.
I tell people all the time.
Some people got popping on social media, bro.
We've been, like, motherfuckers have been doing shit.
I've been dealing with grimy motherfuckers, snakes.
In real life.
Backstabbers.
All these sneaky shit.
I ought to deal with it in real life.
Once you get to a certain status, certain level in life,
you get to dealing with a lot of it,
especially when you come from places that we come from.
So, when you come to Twitter, when I come to Twitter,
I'll be like, these people think they slick.
They think they slick it in a con of oil, bro.
And it just be hilarious to me.
You know, hilarious.
But outside of that, man, definitely,
anybody got some closing thoughts?
Leslie, would you like to say one word for this space,
for the people that haven't heard you today?
Inspiration.
I don't know.
All right, wait.
Yeah.
I guess this shit like a first time.
Come to the after, dog.
All right, man.
You know what's going on.
Leslie.
Yeah, you know, man.
She talks.
But I appreciate y'all coming through, you know.
I didn't talk much, and I'm going to tell you why.
Because sometimes as a wise person or as a person that's tuning in,
you don't have to say a lot.
If there's people in the stage that are smarter than you,
that are more knowledgeable than you,
that are wiser than you,
you can learn from them.
That's the time where I've learned how to stay quiet and allow other people to give me that knowledge to the areas that I do not understand.
So, I can gain wisdom.
I will let you slide with that one this week.
All right.
I'll take that one.
Next week, man.
I want to talk about social media marketing.
I want to talk about how to monetize.
How can some of these kids, what can they do to monetize TikTok, Instagram, YouTube?
So, stay tuned.
Stay tuned.
I want to talk about social media marketing.
You can never repay me for the trust you destroyed.
Only God knows the shit I tried to avoid.
And the shit that I supported.
I did it proudly, loudly.

That's the wild me.
Hopping out the bundle.
Be a quarter key.
Glock 23.
Now we having me about metaversions and NFTs.

Shit I didn't achieve.
Sometimes I don't believe.

They still ain't free.
I'd sell a brick and put blues in my pocket.
