Welcome to BitBoy Crypto!
My name is Ben.
Today, we're going to be going over our portfolio.
As you guys can see,
we took some profits out of the portfolio,
so right now it's showing down overall.
But, you know, some of these were gains that we had pulled out.
But now with the amount that we have left were unrealized gains
because the market has been down obviously.
Today, I don't want to take up too much time.
I want to talk about a couple of things.
I want to talk about HEX,
talk about the market in general,
and talk about investment opportunities.
Not financial advice.
Okay. So let's start out right now by talking about our portfolio.
So, like I said, right now, we are down about $14,555.
You can see DOGE, SHIB.
We're down on those in the crypto casino portfolio.
TSUKA, we're down on that one, not too bad.
Cardano, down not too bad.
HEX, crushed.
So, obviously-- and did we put our PulseChain in here?
I don't know if we put our PulseChain in here.
Now, we do have some PulseChain
that I was going to move over to that crypto casino portfolio,
but it's not in there right now.
We're going to be doing a PulseChain video next week.
How much PulseChain do we think it'll take you to become a millionaire?
So there you go.
We're not trying to be haters on the PulseChain or HEX community right now at this point.
PulseChain did launch.
It was a question for a lot of people.
We bought it at apparently definitely the wrong time.
Oh, there's our PulseChain right there.
Hey, look at that. We're up 55% on our PulseChain.
So there you go.
You kind of look here,
and you look at HEX and that's gotten crushed.
So there's a lot of different ideas about why, you know, HEX has been crashing.
A lot of people are, you know, kind of turning bearish on HEX.
Richard Heart was kind of, you know, smarting off to the community a little bit
over some criticism and stuff like that.
But overall, if you come back and you look at the history,
here's what's interesting.
When you look at the history,
frequently, there's all kinds of stories about HEX crashing,
and usually, it bounces back really, really, really strongly.
The only thing now is,
with the focus on PulseChain,
is it going to be able to make its way back?
I would say this.
When you see a lot of people being so negative about something,
that's a good sign that maybe things are going to turn around.
Everybody's negative on HEX right now.
Now, if you think Richard is an idiot and he's got over his head
and it's a Ponzi scheme,
then maybe this is the pop.
But he's consistently shown that he's been able to pull it out of those types of situations.
If you look at the HEX all-time chart,
I mean, look, back here, major crash.
This was a major crash.
Major crash.
I mean, this was, you know,
at the bottom, it was a 50%, or probably a 35% crash.
Another one.
And notice, every time it has a major crash, almost right after, it bounces up.
Question is, where's the bottom?
Well, 72%.
Here, it was at 48¢.
It dropped all the way down to 13¢.
So that was in the maybe the 70% range, somewhere around there.
So we've seen it before,
but it had an epic bounce up.
And that was as the market was going down.
So, right now, this is kind of one of the worst runs we've seen for HEX,
going all the way from 11¢ all the way down to a penny and a half.
So, is this the end of HEX?
Or is it going to bounce back?
You guys let me know down below in the comments.
And, guys, we've always been kind of neutral on HEX.
I don't know why I have this on day mode.
That's-- really sorry about that.
That might have been kind of bearish.
But like I said, if you look through the news, you'll see a lot of different places where it happened.
So just overall kind of what are my thoughts on our portfolio right now.
I mean, look at this.
Our WallStreetBets token, we're down 83%.
So far, the crypto casino and holding on to these coins has not been good,
proving the fact that even though we had them in the portfolio,
we should have been selling them and getting returns
and leaving them alone,
even though even if we believe long term in some of these community vibes
and stuff like that.
It's just not something you want to get stuck with memecoins when they're down 80%.
But with HEX,
it's got a big community.
It's been around a while.
With memecoins, a lot of these are newer coins.
So I think HEX has a better chance probably of coming back
than some of those other ones.
But HEX fell like a memecoin.
Hence why we have it in the crypto casino portfolio.
It's very, very volatile.
The general sense of this market right now is kind of unknown.
I think, right now, the next several weeks are going to be some key accumulation points.
I think, in June, we are going to start to move potentially back up.
We didn't make any moves in the portfolio this week
as the market has been drastically down.
We will let you know when we resume doing that.
I'm back now for several weeks in a row.
So I'm going to be able to concentrate a little bit more on this.
But one thing you guys can do--
I'm a big believer in the ICP community, as you guys know.
I don't like what SBF did to them.
I don't like what, you know, that--
their launch was basically ruined by Sam Bankman-Fried.
And so I've definitely been a fan of ICP.
It's one of our biggest holdings,
you guys know, one of our most profitable coins of this run.
And this came across my eyes.
Plug sent it to me.
Plug sent me this.
I use the Plug wallet for ICP.
I've been using it, I guess, ever since I got into ICP,
around probably November of last year, October of last year.
So the thing is, is that ICP is going to be a community I believe in this next bull run
that's really going to flourish.
So, why am I bringing all this up?
They have a fund right now where they're trying to raise
basically what would be the MetaMask of ICP.
In my opinion, swapping ICP has been--
it is not the easiest thing in the world compared to like Ethereum.
Like, Ethereum is just more mainstream.
It's easier to do in more places.
More people will swap for it.
ICP is a little more niche right now.
I think it will get more popular.
But the fact is, is that
in these kinds of markets when you're in accumulation phases,
you should also be looking maybe if you've got some extra liquidity
at other types of investments.
Not financial advice.
Investing in companies, crowdfunding is a good way
to get a piece of kind of some stake in something that isn't necessarily coin specific.
And these--
like, if you think about it, like exchanges, for instance,
exchanges or MetaMask,
they're going to be used whether the market's going up or down.
So this could be a way you could kind of hedge.
It's not very much to invest in this.
It's 25 as the silver level.
The tier price is 45 ICP.
I'm going to be actually doing, you know, putting on Twitter.
I'm going to be putting 45 ICP in this a little bit later.
This is going to be out of--
this isn't necessarily going to go in our--
maybe it'll go in our company portfolio.
That's probably what we should do, put it in our company portfolio.
And maybe watch this investment.
But here's the thing.
If they don't reach in 14 days their goal that they're looking for,
which is 23,375 ICP,
then you get your money refunded.
So, really, if you get in at a time like this,
what you're looking at is an opportunity
where if you get in when the momentum is not strong and it finishes and completes,
and people are able to actually see that this project has some belief in it,
then that can kick it off with some good momentum,
and you got in at a time where you really don't have anything to lose.
Because if this doesn't go through
and there's not enough excitement to push it through,
you get your money back.
So if it doesn't hit this blue check,
it's kind of like a hedge a bull investment almost, in a sense,
to where only people are excited about it enough to push it forward,
or you're going to actually have to put the money in
or leave the money there and not get it refunded.
So I'm going to be, like, sharing some stuff about this on Twitter.
I just--
guys, I like to support projects that I feel like got totally screwed,
especially those that got screwed by Sam.
And ICP is definitely the foremost one that got screwed by Sam, in my opinion,
along with Reef Finance.
And because of that,
I'm a little more, you know,
I'm a little more apt to want to get involved in their ecosystem
and want to invest in what's going on over there.
And I think what Plug is doing is pretty cool.
It's a cool app.
You guys should check it out.
I definitely think everybody should try out the ICP community.
So this is not the only kind of investment you can be making during this time.
Also, if you get any access to any kind of like pre-sales,
be careful of launchpads,
especially if the influencers are talking about them.
But if you can get access to whitelist and things like that during this time,
Quarter 2 and Quarter 3 of this year are going to be looked back at
as the prime time to get those investments.
Not everybody has an access to them.
If you know people that do, maybe you can get in on some of that.
That might be kind of cool.
But this one's really easy because it's a crowd fund.
And this is actually a product. It's not a coin.
They did tell me that down the road, they may eventually do a coin.
They haven't decided on that or not.
I did tell them that, like, if there was a coin with it right now,
it'd be harder for me to talk about doing an investment
if it's something that has a coin, but it's a product.
So if you check it out,
you guys go, we'll put the link here down in the description
so you guys can check it out.
If you want to.
If you're in the ICP community, I think it's kind of a no-brainer.
But we're going to be supporting this project.
You know, this product for ICP.
Hopefully, it gets funded.
We'll see what happens.
Let me know what your thoughts are down below.
That's all I got.
Be blessed.
BitBoy out.
