bf hey everyone me kevin here in this
video i want to talk to you about a
relationship that i'm noticing between
the pricing of cryptocurrency assets and
something that you want to know
especially if you are trading
cryptocurrency assets now keep in mind i
specifically am saying
trading here because you are either a
hodler or you're a trader
generally or or you lucked into lots of
money when it comes to cryptocurrency
assets and the reason i want to make
that clear is
if you're a hodler you probably don't
care about this
you're just going to keep buying as it
dips and that's fine
i have a portion of my portfolio that's
cryptocurrency hotel
it's all bitcoin i'm considering getting
into a dip here on ethereum as a hotel
position
but i did have a trader position in
bitcoin and i want to show you something
that i said on january
6th and then i'm going to show you
something about
why i said this and a trend that i
noticed on the bloomberg terminal okay
but first let me show you this so this
video that i'm pulling up right here
this is a video from january 6. you can
see it right here
what's crazy is this was the day of the
capital riots except this was our course
member live stream
before i started streaming the capital
riots i wore this suit
in the 10 hour live stream that you
could still see by going to youtube
which is crazy
if you type in meet kevin capital riots
you will see this 10 hour live stream it
has a million views
of me basically covering the entire
capital rights is a crazy day
even though the thumbnail is a blue suit
you could see that it's it's the same
green suit here
the reason i'm saying this is because
this was filmed on january 6th
and it's really really eerie looking
back to this
but just listen to this for a brief
moment here
i'm going to hide my my current self
here for a moment
give this a listen for like 20 30
seconds here watch this
this is when i want to sell bitcoin
april
april 13th to 15th tax time okay
so i'm gonna put that on my calendar
okay pause there so in this video
i explain why i was considering
selling bitcoin on april 13th and i'm
going to explain that to you right now
at least in terms of my trader position
not my hotel position
keep in mind that is the course member
live stream now what's really really
crazy
about this timing is take a look at this
folks
april 13th is right there literally
right between
the 12th to the 14th the peak here
now i mentioned in the video tax time
and that was sort of an
extra little note sometimes people sell
cryptocurrency assets to pay their taxes
but taxes got delayed
that wasn't the big crux of the video in
fact the big crux of our course member
live stream here
was actually what's on screen right here
which if you look closely it's the us
bureau of labor statistics
that darn consumer price index
thing that everybody hates look
everybody watching this video is
probably rolling their eyes like oh my
gosh
nobody believes the cpi the cpi is
garbage look i agree with you
i totally think the cpi misses a ton of
stuff
stocks going to the moon housing going
to the moon lumber
hvac material copper wiring all this
stuff's up like 50
and they mean to tell us there's no
inflation right it's a bunch of fugazi
the cpi thing
a lot of people don't believe in the cpi
thing but why did i
pick and i explained this in an over one
hour live stream here
which we cover other things obviously in
the course member live streams as well
but i'm going to give you an update
somewhere here
and i'm going to show you what i just
noticed in the bloom door excuse me in
the bloomberg terminal which is
absolutely crazy
but one of the reasons i picked april
13th
was because that's the morning of cpi
data that
came out on april 13th for march and i
thought back in january
if we get the stimulus package passed by
march
we start getting that inflation data
showing up in march
it's entirely possible that using that
cpi
if that cpi data comes in not as high as
expected
bitcoin could begin to trend down
even though many of us don't believe in
the cpi data
if we start seeing cpi coming in softer
even if it's manipulated
if it's coming in softer than we expect
as a trader
it could affect bitcoin and
cryptocurrency prices
now we had obviously the coinbase pump
which happened the very next day
april 14th as well and then when
coinbase missed
things softened but i wanted to try to
see
if there was a longer-term relationship
between the cpi
uh and what can be affected by the cpi
which i think the best measure for
inflation or people's inflation
expectations is actually the 10-year
treasury
and so i want to see the relationship
between the 10-year treasury
and the trends in bitcoin
and this i found was very interesting
so what i did was i took a chart on the
bloomberg terminal
which i'm going to show you in a moment
and i charted the 10-year treasury this
year
so year today and we know it's gone up
and at one point
starting in february it started going up
very sharply
and lately it's kind of been trending
down a little bit
well interestingly so have kryptos
kryptos have performed extremely well at
the first part of the year
now they're trending down a little bit
again i want to be extremely clear
before i show you this chart
i'm not doing this for hodlers i'm not
trying to like fear monger people out of
bitcoin
i want to buy more bitcoin and i want to
buy more ethereum i want to make that
very very clear
but if you're a trader i think this
really or somebody looking at short term
signals while i can't give you
guarantees that this works
this is just an interesting pattern that
i've noticed
when our cpi data comes in
short of high expectations everybody's
prepping for oh my gosh cpi is going to
come in crazy
and then when it didn't come in that
crazy in march we started seeing
treasury yields
go down and now we're starting to see
inflation expectations in the bond
market
go down and what's happening with crypto
crypto prices are going down even today
they fall in a chunk today
take a look at this chart let the chart
do the talking here okay
so i'm gonna just shut up look at the
chart
this shaded line just to explain it here
the white line this white uh
line and everything below the white line
this is the u.s tenure right here the
blue line
is bitcoin and this is all normalized to
a factor of a hundred so they both start
out at 100
and then we can kind of see their change
over time here right look at this
near perfect tracking in january
almost perfect tracking in january scary
then we start getting inflation
expectations
increase here you actually see bitcoins
a little bit more reactive
and bitcoin reacts quicker than the
inflation
uh or i should say the 10-year treasury
prices in
uh inflation but both of them basically
go uh from from being totally matched
around
january 28th right around here to
totally matched again
march 23rd on the same trajectory
now we had our april 13th peak
right here and the coinbase hype
happened
right here at this sort of peak point
here so in my opinion it's possible this
sort of extra
bump here was because of the sort of
coinbase momentum and hype and euphoria
and all that
but take a look what's happening again
they're on the
same collision course of aligning again
which is really interesting how these
two are trending together
now so far this relationship has really
only been
very well connected year to date
if i zoom out it gets a little bit more
unclear that we haven't
also really seen the mega run in
cryptocurrency
until kind of like december and the
start of this year
so really it seems like from december to
now we have this really bizarre
relationship
between the 10-year and bitcoin
but also the relationship with cpi
data and the 10-year and so
this is why when i did that course
member live stream which remember if you
want to join any of my programs there's
a link down below i plan on having that
expire
uh towards the end of this month maybe
like the first week of may i'm still
deciding depends on when the marketing
is ready
and uh take a look at that any of the
programs you join link down below
whether you get the bundles or whatever
you get access to all of not only my
live stream archives so you could go
back to that video on january 6th if you
wanted to
go back to any of my archives or my
fundamental analyses like my palantirs
or whatever
all the videos that aren't released
publicly the really
nitty-gritty stuff but you also get
access to all the lectures and you get
lifetime access to all those lectures
and the new ones that i add
so consider checking that out via the
link down below and use that coupon code
you could also bundle up
now the other thing that's worth
mentioning here is a lot of folks are
discussing the possibility
of this september crash in
cryptocurrencies
possibly because of something known as
the start of a crypto winter
that oftentimes happens a certain amount
of months after the
bitcoin having and this is where there
could potentially be this
crypto winter which some people say last
winter it could last six months some
people say it could last two or three
years
where basically cryptocurrency prices
could sell down
70 to 90 percent who knows if it'll be
that severe
but that there could be some kind of
crash coming that it could last
and and then essentially it'll come back
and when it comes back
it could go to 100 300 400 500 000
who knows there's a lot of talk about
this crypto winter
because there's so much talk about the
script of winter either coming in
september so in the fall or in the
winter
in my opinion wouldn't be shocking for
because of people's expectations of this
coming
us to start seeing some potential
selling pressure
before that kind of like in the spring
or summer which potentially compounds
what we're seeing now in this
relationship
with the ten year now i am i'm not
a hundred percent confident in these
things i personally have to say
i have missed my own advice by
a week which i'm really disappointed
about because
on my calendar i will show you my
calendar for
april 13th take a look at this on april
13th
this is what was on my calendar i had
the kevin o'leary interview at 8
and cpi data coming out at 5 30 a.m
which i woke up for and i covered live
and i wrote on there sell bitcoin except
i didn't do it
i was a baby i didn't do it but i didn't
sell my trader position
that day i didn't listen to my own
advice and i regret that
instead i ended up selling uh about 500
000
worth of bitcoin on april 20th 4 20
which was also when i did my big options
purchase
in case you're not familiar with that
options purchase that's when i
basically sold about nine million
dollars worth of stocks
bought about four million dollars worth
of options that have
the control of about 12 million dollars
in
equivalent share value so as long as i'm
right with my options
bet i actually have more exposure to the
market
than not and i also plan on buying into
these crypto
dips but i did wait until bitcoin was
somewhere around 54 000
to sell which uh does put me pretty
profitable
on uh my bitcoin since i had been buying
it since about 32 to 35 000
on average but this was this was a trade
i went into this as a trade
i left it very profitably if i had
followed my written strategy which is
what i teach in my programs
i would have done even better i don't
know why i didn't
but i waited a week oh well should have
listened to myself
that happens sometimes sometimes we we
let in patience or i should say uh
oh well it could keep running get to the
best of us right
so anyway following the strategy very
very important but i do think
that uh going forward there is a
continued opportunity to potentially see
on the cpi release dates additional
downward pressure and 10-year treasury
yields
which if bitcoin tracks down with it
maybe
uh cryptocurrencies could continue to
sell down and create more of a buying
opportunity
for me my written strategy is to
continue to buy cryptos
at least bitcoin somewhere between 35 to
44
000 that's not my ideal obviously if i
can get it cheaper than this range
i'll be more interested in loading the
boat i am also interested in
diversifying into ethereum
so if we start hitting those prices in
btc i'll probably also be buying
ethereum and of course if i do i'll be
sending out alerts for exactly what i
buy and when
uh in the programs if you want the buy
sell alerts i do mention those in the
stocks and psychology of money program
linked down below and teach you how to
build long-term
wealth with some fundamental strategies
okay so this right here is the schedule
for consumer price releases i personally
recommend
putting these dates on your calendar
again even if you think
these these uh cpi releases are fugazi
bullcrap whatever
i agree with you but at least put these
dates on your calendar
my my expectation was slightly off over
here i
put down two point four percent ended up
being about two point it was either 2.5
or 2.6 percent it was pretty dang close
but it was nowhere near that three
percent some folks were concerned might
come in
uh in the month over month inflation
increase was point six percent
nowhere near that one percent a lot of
folks were concerned might happen
this was one of the reasons we started
seeing the treasury market kind of uh
the yields start selling down or lower
in the treasury market we do expect
bigger numbers coming in april may
but if these don't come in as high as
expected on month to month bases
we continue to see that treasury yield
decline and if it's true that bitcoin's
tracking the treasury yield then it's
possible that bitcoin could also follow
that treasury yield down a little bit
or even precede it sort of predict it a
little bit not sure
it's an interesting connection that i
found and it's it's totally based in
exactly what i was talking about
back on january 6th when i first made my
written strategy
again i was off by a week on my
execution but my strategy
was accurate so anyway we'll see
how things go i will continue to track
10-year treasuries
and uh i'm looking forward to buying a
lot more of a hotel position
in cryptos especially now that i have
absolutely zero margin
which if you want to learn more about
that where i explain
what i bought and sort of or why i sold
and why i bought what i did
i typed this into youtube but type in
meet kevin
the truth about my margin so if you type
in meet kevin the truth about margin
you'll see this video that's called
revealing the truth
about my stock debt what just happened
this is a very very important video to
watch right here
from four days ago and that'll sort of
explain some of the things that i just
did
anyway thank you so much for watching
this video and my thoughts here my
connections interested to hear
what your thoughts are and folks we'll
see in the next one
