FULL TRANSCRIPT

0:00

so i just got back from a run and was

0:01

wondering could the entire crypto

0:04

ecosystem and economy collapse like

0:07

literally all of it tokens nfts the

0:10

entire nearly 900 billion dollar market

0:13

cap

0:14

everything collapsed it would literally

0:17

be the size of tesla just going bankrupt

0:20

in this recession and while that sounds

0:22

like a lot of fun there are three very

0:24

important things that you need to pay

0:26

attention to so that way you could

0:27

identify red flags of that kind of

0:29

potential for collapse happening

0:32

we're going to talk about them right now

0:34

but let me tell you here folks you're

0:36

going to want to sign up for life

0:37

insurance after you hear this one which

0:39

you can do in as little as five minutes

0:40

by going to medkkevin.com life i have it

0:43

my wife has it so easy to get it's kind

0:46

of inexpensive too when you're younger

0:47

but go check it out mykevin.comlife

0:50

but when you hear these three things

0:52

here you're also going to want as much

0:54

cash as possible to protect yourself or

0:56

by the dip which if you go to

0:57

medkevin.com tasty you can get two

0:59

hundred dollars for free if you deposit

1:00

two thousand dollars that's a ten

1:02

percent return on your money in just

1:03

three months if you deposit your money

1:05

over there for three months try it it's

1:06

an amazing brokerage mechanic.com tasty

1:09

all right so let's now get into the

1:11

first of a three potential catalyst for

1:14

the doomsday the first is ethereum 2.0

1:17

now i know what you're thinking oh my

1:19

gosh here we go another uneducated

1:21

potential ethereum 2.0 withdrawal fund

1:24

story well actually what we're going to

1:26

do is we're going to refer to an article

1:28

from data always who

1:30

is a superior ethereum bull and has some

1:32

incredible analysis and we're going to

1:34

talk about

1:36

some of the arguments that he makes and

1:38

then we're going to connect these with

1:40

potential conclusions in terms of

1:43

what it could mean for ethereum okay so

1:45

let's talk about this in case you're not

1:47

familiar which you should be at this

1:49

point but that's okay in case you're not

1:50

familiar at this point ethereum

1:53

merge is possibly going to come at the

1:56

absolute worst time for the crypto

1:57

economy ethereum 2.0 is designed to

1:59

coordinate the network into the beacon

2:01

chain by slowly making it impossible to

2:02

mine or validate crypto through proof of

2:04

work and instead we'll be going to proof

2:07

of stake so no more dirty mining will be

2:10

going to staking starting likely at the

2:12

end of 2022 with sharding following in

2:15

2023 and no i didn't say sharting your

2:18

pants uh but uh you know if you're

2:20

worried about your pants you can always

2:22

go long by checking out the amazing

2:24

programs on building your wealth with a

2:26

coupon code expiring tomorrow as we

2:28

raise the price again dang how is that

2:30

for three pitches in three minutes but

2:32

folks

2:33

today

2:34

we have over nine million ethereum

2:37

tokens locked away

2:40

waiting to be

2:41

unlocked

2:42

hence locked away waiting for the beacon

2:45

chain and this sets up for a massive

2:47

potential danger to the crypto economy

2:50

which would of course coincide with what

2:53

could possibly be the first great

2:55

recession since the last great recession

2:57

in 2008 and given that crypto has never

3:00

lived through a recession and instead

3:01

was born out of a recession ignoring

3:04

obviously like the six-week pandemic

3:05

recession we had

3:07

this is interesting the ethereum merged

3:09

ain't coming at a great time now the

3:11

developers of ethereum are acutely aware

3:14

that by having nine million ethereum

3:17

tokens locked away and then allowing

3:20

them to unlock upon the staking

3:23

or the move to proof of stake may flood

3:25

the market with ethereum at quite

3:27

literally the worst possible time as

3:29

such ethereum developers are considering

3:32

limiting withdrawals to two types of

3:34

withdrawals first partial withdrawals

3:36

where validators will be able to draw

3:38

down to 32 ethereum the minimum that you

3:40

need to be a staking validator and

3:42

basically draw down any of the excess

3:45

and with current estimates of the amount

3:47

of excess ethereum stakes per validator

3:49

which isn't actually that much over 32

3:52

ethereum validators who want to

3:54

partially withdraw from the network

3:56

could probably do so in about 12 to 15

3:58

days now of course there will likely be

4:00

some form of limit on the system in

4:02

terms of how many withdrawals we could

4:04

see each day and a certain number of

4:06

withdrawals per epoch and there are 225

4:09

epochs each day

4:11

and the current estimate according to

4:13

data always is that we could see

4:15

somewhere around 800 000 ethereum dumped

4:17

on the market each week for two and a

4:20

half weeks but our trading volume right

4:22

now sits around 4.9 million ethereum

4:25

traded per week so really

4:28

adding 800 000 ethereum for a couple

4:31

weeks would probably only represent an

4:34

additional pricing pressure of about 16

4:37

of supply for about two weeks now that

4:40

could lead if you compound that to about

4:43

a 35

4:44

a drop in ethereum prices because of

4:46

this excess supply

4:48

but

4:49

the argument that's made in the crypto

4:51

community is don't worry we'll be able

4:53

to absorb all of that excess ethereum

4:56

okay fine but that's partial withdrawals

4:59

and so now and this is the part that's

5:01

totally up to speculation we have to

5:03

determine how many validators who

5:05

currently have staked ethereum or

5:07

stakers who are part of validating

5:09

networks how many of them are going to

5:11

fully withdraw from the ethereum network

5:14

versus partially withdraw or just

5:16

straight up huddle obviously if everyone

5:19

fully withdrawals will have problems but

5:22

that's also where ethereum developers

5:23

will likely have some form of limits

5:26

currently the limit is five validators

5:28

can withdraw completely from the network

5:31

per epoch remember there are 225 epochs

5:33

per day now this limit could change we

5:35

might see 10 per epoc at lockup and the

5:39

estimate here from data data data

5:41

analysts excuse me is the potential of

5:44

about a supply of 65 000 to 80 000

5:48

ethereum in addition to the partial

5:51

lock-ups per day that in my opinion

5:53

would represent an approximately 10

5:57

additional supply hit or an additional

6:01

availability of 10

6:02

on the daily traded volume for ethereum

6:05

that would represent an about an

6:07

additional 10

6:08

supply every day for probably the first

6:12

few weeks of the ethereum merge which

6:14

could compound on top of that 32 to 35

6:18

percent from

6:19

partial withdrawals now that doesn't

6:21

again necessarily mean that prices will

6:23

come down this much because again people

6:25

could be buying the dip and we could see

6:27

a lot of stability here and after all

6:29

these estimates are being brought to you

6:31

by a blog post by

6:32

someone who's really a staunch

6:34

enthusiast of ethereum and they're

6:35

clearly very well educated in ethereum

6:38

well the writer of these estimates

6:40

themselves calls themselves bullish in

6:42

fact they say i remain as bullish as

6:45

ever they do also say that quote a

6:48

contentious and panicked unlock event

6:51

with large profit taking

6:53

could however be market destabilizing

6:57

and a relatively long lasting event

7:00

they're in effect warning you of the

7:01

danger to come now even though they are

7:04

bullish because they see ethereum as a

7:06

once in a generation investment

7:08

opportunity

7:09

the excess supply that we could see

7:12

through both partial withdrawals and

7:14

full withdrawals

7:15

could substantially destabilize the

7:18

ethereum network if we don't have a

7:21

clean bridge and a limitation on how

7:24

much people can withdraw from the

7:26

network

7:27

but the market should be able to absorb

7:29

it right

7:30

maybe this is where we get to part two

7:32

of this video which is the unofficial

7:34

federal reserve

7:36

binance nftx see binance whom today

7:40

bloomberg described as the shitcoin

7:43

casino with empty offices in dubai and

7:46

an unregulated gambling coordinator boy

7:49

7:50

media outlet would say but first i want

9:11

today but anyway the ceo of binance just

9:14

saw his net worth tumble from over 90

9:18

billion dollars to just 11 billion

9:20

dollars and i did say

9:21

just 11 billion dollars it's still

9:23

pretty incredible but it represents an

9:25

88 decline but anyway

9:28

these two firms fdx and binance are

9:30

arguably the biggest in the crypto space

9:33

and you know what they're doing

9:35

they are swooping into the rescue when

9:37

we have problems in the crypto space

9:39

it's literally exactly what they've been

9:41

doing as one of the largest crypto hedge

9:44

funds three ac with up to about 1.18

9:46

billion dollars of assets under

9:48

management because that hedge fund

9:50

completely disappeared because they

9:53

probably lost all their money and all

9:55

that 18 bill went up in smoke especially

9:58

when in may they told us they only had

10:00

about three billion dollars left and now

10:01

they're not even answering their voyage

10:03

or digital margin call which that's a

10:05

whole nother story

10:07

who comes into the rescue again the

10:10

unofficial fed which i call the

10:12

unofficial fed ftx and binance

10:15

there's a problem with ftx and finance

10:17

though i'm going to talk about that

10:18

problem in a moment but i just want to

10:19

hit on that tangent with voyager digital

10:22

voyager digital the canadian crypto

10:24

exchange had about 2 billion dollars

10:26

canadian dollars in lent crypto

10:29

but of that

10:31

666 million so basically a third was

10:34

being lent to one

10:36

hedge fund three ac

10:38

that means they took customer deposits

10:40

and literally 33 cents approximately out

10:43

of every dollar they received they lent

10:45

to one hedge fund

10:47

that seems grossly irresponsible like

10:51

how could you not diversify more that's

10:53

insane that's way too much risk

10:56

anyway that led over the weekend voyager

11:00

digital likely to fall under a level to

11:02

the point where if all their customers

11:04

wanted to withdraw their money voyager

11:06

digital wouldn't have it they were

11:08

upside down likely based on what i saw

11:10

in the financial statements

11:11

now

11:12

ftx and uh the owner of ftx embankment

11:16

freed came in to bail out voyager with

11:18

the substantial loan of somewhere

11:19

between 300 to 500 million dollars the

11:23

owner of ftx has about a 12 stake in

11:25

voyager digital with a cost basis of

11:27

about two dollars and 34 cents for a

11:30

stock that's now trading for roughly 50

11:32

cents ouch this is important to know

11:35

though because what does it show you it

11:37

shows you that companies like ftx and

11:39

binance even though they're trying to be

11:40

the unofficial fed there's a chance

11:42

they're throwing really good money after

11:45

bad

11:46

even binance

11:47

got burned by for an amount of 1.6

11:52

billion dollars on the tara luna

11:54

explosion or implosion i should say

11:57

and these companies right now are going

11:59

around trying to prop up as many

12:02

different companies as possible even ftx

12:05

now providing financing to block fi

12:08

and rumors circulating including this

12:12

email that happened to come out of

12:14

nowhere that uh oh even blockfi might be

12:17

running into some trouble after getting

12:20

a bailout from ftx yikes but anyway

12:24

when companies act as a de facto jerome

12:27

powell what they do in the short term is

12:29

they prop up coins they pop prop up

12:32

tokens and they prevent bankruptcies

12:34

from happening that should happen

12:37

the problem with ftx and binance though

12:39

is they don't have a money printer and

12:42

while blockfy coinbase robinhood and

12:43

many firms are laying off individuals

12:46

finance is pretending they're hiring

12:49

people

12:50

not actually hiring people because

12:52

apparently bloomberg questioned the

12:54

authenticity of this and that the staff

12:57

at binance said oh well uh

13:00

the photo of the ceo of binance uh

13:03

photoshopped on a model with him uh

13:05

hiring that was just a joke

13:08

folks

13:09

i don't know about you but i feel like

13:11

we've got two goliaths binance and ftx

13:14

both of which have a lot of power in the

13:17

crypto ecosystem and if they run out of

13:20

money because they keep making

13:22

investments that aren't that smart like

13:24

throwing money into voyager digital at

13:25

two dollars and 34 cents

13:27

well then at some point they're going to

13:29

run out of money and if the ceos run out

13:32

of money because they spent all their

13:34

money on bailouts for the rest of the

13:35

crypto economy

13:37

the crypto economy could face some

13:38

massive pain

13:40

the next time we see liquidations of the

13:42

magnitude that we saw over the last few

13:44

weeks with billions being eradicated in

13:46

24-hour periods

13:48

so buckle up especially if

13:51

that same sort of liquidation event

13:54

happens around the same time that we see

13:56

the ethereum 2.0 merge

13:59

but that brings us to fudd case number

14:01

three

14:02

stable coins now i've warned about

14:04

stable coins since the end of 2020 and

14:07

the fact is they absolutely mask the

14:10

true amount of leverage that is in the

14:12

crypto ecosystem most advocates of

14:14

stable coins like to say that well i

14:16

have usdc i could redeem it for a dollar

14:18

at any time and while it's true that one

14:21

dollar of usdc is technically equal to

14:23

one dollar it is not true in the event

14:26

of a panic that's because when you

14:28

deposit one dollar into an exchange for

14:30

a stable coin yes you have the right to

14:31

that one dollar but most people who have

14:34

money in usdc enable yields

14:37

yields are only possible when you

14:38

actually agree to lend out your money

14:40

you're lending your stablecoin don't kid

14:42

yourself it is not redeemable for a

14:45

dollar if it's lent out in a panic your

14:48

stable coins are not a savings account

14:50

they are an iou and as long as markets

14:53

are going up and things are stable your

14:55

iou can be cashed for a dollar but if

14:58

you're just the 20th iou in a chain of

15:01

ious called rehypothecation

15:04

and the last person in the chain is an

15:06

18 billion dollar hedge fund like 3ac

15:09

your stablecoin

15:11

uh iou may end up being worthless

15:14

in the event of a crypto collapse and

15:18

this is where i believe we face a

15:21

massive triple threat in the entire

15:23

crypto ecosystem the ethereum 2.0 merge

15:26

coming in a recession is absolutely the

15:28

worst time possible it should be delayed

15:31

number two

15:33

the binance ceo and the ceo of ftx are

15:37

going to run out of money at some point

15:39

if they have to keep bailing out

15:40

companies

15:42

there won't be any money left because

15:43

there is no money printer

15:46

and then liquidations will cut deep

15:48

because nobody's bailing it out and

15:50

number three

15:52

when true panic comes stable coin

15:54

leverage will finally get exposed

15:57

and folks this is why i urge you to be

16:00

cautious i'm not here to fud i am here

16:03

to provide perspective and if you

16:06

haven't thought about this triple threat

16:08

consider sharing this video

16:10

and helping somebody else be aware of it

16:11

as well and if you have comments to add

16:13

leave them down below check out those
