They're all horrible!
It's a one!
- It's a one or-- - I mean, like, seriously, like they're all hor--
like, I'm looking here trying to find something interesting about Dogelon Mars.
Yeah.
"They first write "news" about potential rumors,
then they write "news" about the rumors being false.
People choose to lose credibility over some clicks."
And that's--
this is the instant news gratification new cycle that we live in.
People want to be first.
They don't want to be correct.
That's why when I tweeted it,
I made sure I put, like,
"This is not proven yet."
"This is a rumor."
If you say this is a rumor, there's no problem.
But if you write it like it's happening,
you know, and there were a lot of other people on Twitter
that were posting stuff that made you think one way or the other.
All we know is it's been almost 24 hours later now,
you know, 20 and a half hours, and he's not locked up.
If you had stuck with crypto and believed in it the first time you heard about it,
or the first time you bought it and you didn't sell it,
you may have sold the tops, but you didn't sell it overall,
how much money, like, I want to know, in your brain,
what's the number that you think you should have?
Because, like, everybody kind of has that, right?
Like, mine was like $10 million in like 2017.
I should have $10 million, at least.
Just off my first Bitcoin purchase ever,
it would have been worth, if it was $3 million in the last peak and went--
it would have been worth almost a million dollars,
just my first $450 purchase.
So.
Alright. So we're going to rate this niche.
We're going to tell you what we overall think about this niche.
This one's probably not going to be shocking to people.
- Our favorite one-- - But if you're going to try to, like,
- on a scale of like one to ten-- - They're all horrible! It's a one!
- It's a one or-- - I mean, like, seriously, like they're all hor--
like, I'm looking here trying to find something interesting about Dogelon Mars.
Yeah.
- Yeah, like, it's hard, TJ. - No, I know.
It's hard to sit up here and come up with a reason why.
- Yeah. - I can rate.
That's like saying,
"You know what?
Can you give me on a scale of one to 10, what do you give that murder?
How was that murder?
Was that a 10 the way that guy did that?"
- That's-- - Okay. Let's try this.
There are some positives, right?
Like, it does. It brings people into crypto.
- It's got the top two performing coins in the last bull run. - Right.
- It gets-- it helps people, you know, like, - Yeah.
it was just frustrating as it is for us to talk about and answer questions
about, "Should I buy SHIB or should I buy DOGE?"
- which is why it drives us both probably pretty insane - Yeah.
because that's probably one of the most obviously asked questions
or commonly asked questions.
Like, at least, it bring--
it makes people aware of crypto.
And it has made some people money from.
- You know? - Yeah.
You can get rich buying little moon bags.
But I would be similar.
If I'm going to rate it on a scale of one to 10, I'd probably give it a two out of 10
- when it comes to a niche that's helpful and relevant when it comes to crypto. - Yeah.
It's hard because, like, it's hard for me to give it over one.
But in reality, I know that some of these coins are going to perform okay.
- But-- - In bringing people into the ecosystem,
- it gets it above a one, in my opinion. - Yeah.
You know, like, if you're thinking about other niches,
- you got layer 2s, you got DEXs, - Yeah, but then think about
- all the damage we have to repair. - you got-- oh, good point.
- Yeah, it could be-- - We have to repair that damage.
Yeah, it could be negative. It could turn a lot of people off.
- Like, they buy it at the top, - Yeah.
and they get wrecked,
- and they never come back to crypto. - Yep.
So, overall, guys, I stay away from memecoins.
I don't--
we might throw a couple--
I was looking on this list here.
There might be one that I was--
you know what? The TSUKA guys are going to clip that and say it's them.
- I guarantee. I guarantee they're going to do it. - Yeah.
Look.
I don't hate the people behind TSUKA.
But, guys, we just don't do memecoins.
But the point is this,
is that some of these coins are going to do really well,
but I don't think there's outside of Dogecoin,
I don't think there's another coin on this list that we can predict
- based off of what it did last time. - No. Yeah, I agree.
- So, to me, - Even Dogecoin I think.
if you are wanting to get--
Dogecoin has been around since 2014.
Like, yeah, Dogecoin has got some credibility.
It's been around.
It's got a big community.
It's not just a brand new community.
There's old school, you know, Dogecoin people.
The founders don't have a single coin.
I love that because one of them is a big douche, at least.
I don't know. The other one may be a nice guy.
What's the guy-- Jackson Palmer?
That's the guy. That's the douche.
Nobody likes him.
He got out of crypto because he says it's too Republican.
Okay.
So, anyways, I think some of these will do well, but you want to wait until you see what's coming.
Now, if you want to take a flyer on a couple and be early,
sure, go for it.
I think we're probably going to throw a couple of these in a part of our portfolio
that we're going to call
"What if we invested in these?"
But we're going to outsmart it because we're actually going to invest in them.
Like, just to watch and see what happens, you know?
I mean, do you want it, like,
how do you feel about,
like, you and me are a little bit different because we've got money
and, like, we're not dying and desperate to get the next coin pump.
Sure.
But, like, if you were a person that was, you know, wanting to really make a big come up,
no coins move like the memecoins when they move.
It's just-- it's pure hype.
100%.
So, from a logical perspective, like, it's hard for me to defend memecoins,
but it's hard to me take them seriously,
but I also know part--
I mean, best two performers of the last bull run were DOGE and SHIB.
But I don't think we're going to get a repeat of that with memecoins.
- I can be wrong. - Yeah.
And isn't that having a little bit of skin in the game?
Like, isn't that worth something?
If you're,
I don't know, trying to get a bit come up,
like, having some skin in the game in the best performing niche of the last bull run.
Sure.
You get the-- I mean, if you take a moon bag, you know, $100, throw $100 at something,
or a couple-- like, depending on what you're investing,
- couple $100, whatever, but, yeah. - 'The "Casino Portfolio"'
Oh, I like the name of that.
Let's get serious here.
XRP, this coin has not made all-time highs since January of 2018.
- It's been memed. - Yup.
It's been made fun of.
Community's been made fun of.
We're all stupid for believing.
Are we stupid for believing in XRP?
What price prediction can you give the XRP Army
to make them feel like they don't want to jump off a bridge?
Thank you.
Yeah, for sure.
First of all, if you're in the XRP Army, put the X's up.
Put the X's in the chat.
X Y and Z.
And don't jump off a bridge.
That's step No. 1.
- If you want to see XRP get to its all-time high, - Why mention Y and Z?
you have to stay alive.
That's the first part of this whole thing.
Secondly, so I did some extensive research.
I went on several, several, 10, you know, probably more like 20 different websites
looking at projected XRP price predictions for the top of the bull market
which is projected to be, you know, November or December 2025.
Fair?
And to my surprise,
- the average price prediction was only $1.71 - Can I guess? Oh,
- across about 20 other websites, - I was going to--
which is far too conservative.
Far too conservative.
I mean, the highest price for 2025 I found was $3.02 on Coinpedia.
- I mean-- - I think this is great.
I think this great, AJ. Why?
Because you and I talked about this
- when we decided - Yes.
that it was time to charter the price prediction department.
- We went through all the right protocols. - Yup.
We, of course, have a board.
We have all the proper onboarding documents.
- We got all the disclaimers. - Yup.
- All the paperwork. - You are a financial adviser now, right?
Just don't answer that.
Just leave the people in wondering.
Just leave them in wondering.
And I told you, I said it's amazing.
It's so common sense.
But for some reason,
it's common sense,
but for some reason,
none of these places factor in the 4-year cycle.
Not at all.
- It's crazy. - Not even a little bit.
And I kind of feel like their prediction is based off the idea that XRP is going to lose this case.
- If you think XRP is going to lose this case, - Oh, man.
why are you-- what?
- No, no. - That doesn't make any sense.
There's so many more factors that are going to happen here.
First of all, XRP has one of, if not, the most bullish community.
All of the bulls are in the XRP Army.
- There's no debating that whatsoever. - Are you all bullish?
- Are you all bullish on XRP? Put it on the chat. - This coin--
This coin literally bounced in like a matter of days like 55%.
55% pump in like a week!
Like, not even--
like, XRP has that, as Ivan on Tech would say, the pumpamentals.
Okay?
And what I'm seeing here, XRP is going to win the case.
XRP is going to IPO.
And when this happens, XRP is going to explode.
Completely explode.
My price prediction for XRP for the top of the bull run
for me is probably $9 to $11.
But, Ben, you left yesterday in our conversation,
- you think it's going to be higher. - Yeah.
Can you explain that?
Well, yeah, I can actually.
So, look.
I'm not fully ready to commit to a price.
I think the way we should really be looking at these is in ranges.
- And I think AJ's range is good there - Yeah?
for what we can expect.
I think most of us would expect in between a $9 and $11 XRP.
That's only less than 4X from its all-time high.
It didn't get the all-time high last time because of the suppression.
So I think it's set up really nicely.
The chart's looking really bullish.
And this will make new all-time highs,
which means it's got to go at least probably to $4.
And it's not going to stop there, I don't think, if this case is over.
So, in my opinion, you have two outcomes here.
One is they win the case that it's a settlement.
They get some kind of bad stuff on them from that.
Maybe they're not able to IPO right away.
Maybe the company itself has to, you know, do some steps to pay some penance.
But maybe not.
Maybe they win outright.
If Ripple wins outright and there is no appeal,
by the way, there's no appeal, they just win outright,
and then Ripple announces after Coinbase relist it, of course,
that they're going to IPO in the next one to two years,
they should wait till the bull run,
- if they wait till the bull run, - Oh, yeah.
the IPO as well they do it next year,
maybe right after the halving, it might be great,
- but look. - Yeah.
I mean, I stick with what I said last year.
I mean, or for the last bull run, excuse me.
I think it's--
I think $25 is not out of the question.
I know it's high.
But, TJ, it's not as high as you think it is.
What I'm generally looking at,
I'm looking at--
AJ pretty much nailed.
I mean, $12 is probably where I think this thing ends up.
I think it ends up probably at $12.
But that's not a guarantee.
I'm not telling you it's going to.
They could lose the lawsuit.
Ha! I finally broke the mic after all this time.
After all this time, I finally broke the mic.
- Uh-oh. - Yeah.
I'll have to fix it.
Now, it's hanging.
- Oh, wow, you really did break it. - I did break it.
So.
But I want to talk about the market cap.
This would be the last thing I want to say on the show.
The market cap where he said it had to be a trillion dollars,
that's true.
But keep in mind, if the overall market cap is, say, let's say 7, 8, $9 trillion,
all the coins don't peak at the same time.
So, it's not like you say,
"Well, if Bitcoin could get to a $5 trillion market cap and Ethereum could get to three,
and how in the world, let's say it gets to nine,
then how in the world can XRP get to one?"
Well, I'm not saying it's going to happen.
I'm saying that's very unlikely.
More likely in the $8 to $12 range, I believe.
But they're going to move at different times.
So Bitcoin peaks,
Ethereum peaks,
and then XRP peaks.
That's what we saw in the previous bull run.
We did not see it in the last one because it got cut off short
by someone that never cuts off short.
SBF
He never cuts his hair at all.
Thank you.
