06:20 Given the state of everything has your thesis on taking profits in the next bull run going to change? Would you start at 2X, 3X or 4X+ and what sort of % would you take profit and would this be in fiat or move it into something else?

Solid video! Been a subscriber for about 2 years now and I know your stance on coinbase has been bearish for good reason, BUT what are your thoughts on Coinbases ability to rally when the bull market does inevitably come? Any price targets for COIN that are associated alongside Bitcoins ability to rally?
Yo dawg, I haerd you like backups so we put backups inside your backups so you can backup your backups while you backups your other backups.
Don’t forget Shibaswap it is very secure and easy to use
I believe in capital punishment for scammers. People trying to take other peoples savings should be removed.
Why did you make your “How to retire on Solana by 2026 in top 12 Global Retirement Destinations” video private?
Definitely the world is better with Elon in it 💥💥💥💥💥💥
What do you use to encrypt seed phrase?
Thank God for Elon musk -Twitter doesn't suck anymore
Sorry – a little late to this party, James. I personally LOVE Elon Musk – he is a visionary who works his arse off. I wish he were emperor of the universe. It would be a far, far better place. 💙
Got to admit James I took a hiatus from most crypto channels after the Celsius collapse. I was slightly annoyed at your interactions with The ceo of Celcius especially as it was collapsing.
You are still without doubt one of the best channels on YouTube for education and knowledge. I do have my concerns about you bringing on the Solana ceo considering it's future is really unknown but I'm a massive solana bull.
Think I just needed to block out the noise for abit. But thankfully I have so much to catch up on.
Always be careful of people who are telling you they are trying to save the planet.
Better with him. People always want to tell others what to do with their money. If you don't like who you are working for you have a choice.
Love this one. Great points on Elon. I agree.
Excellent as always thanks from the UK 🤜
Another observation, is that regulation is definitely needed for the crypto industry, but not necessarily for BTC. BTC does not need any government intervention or controls whatsoever. Only the greedy finance companies and criminal players need to be regulated.
We must all loose in crypto
it's okay, the market has been very tough recently and you did your best. i'm starting to think about selling all of my coins for tether ans ATM22Xnow too
The Count Dracula of SOL
in an interview with Michael Saylor they tried to bait him into bashing Elon but Saylor said something like "he is a bigger Bitcoin champion than most people I know, sure he sold alot of his Bitcoin but he still Holds alot too"
I´m more of a Saylor fan myself but Elon is a very inspiring individual too. Wish him all the best
Thanks ❤
Thank you James
No question this World is better with Elon. Humanity's progress is determined by innovators, inventors, artists, engineers, designers, really anyone who creates stuff: Creators determine humanity's fate, NOT government policy or centralized organizations that waste everyone's taxes and resources.
How could you possibly say Elon Musk "came from nothing" …. come on James let's get real
Fantastic!
Overall Elon certainly is a positive for humanity but he has made some very dumb decisions. However that’s far outstripped by numerous great decisions. No one should be above scrutiny though and everyone makes mistake from time to time. There’s nothing wrong with a meritocracy! The cream rises and we all ultimately benefit.
Boots on the ground perspective here, I use Solana every single day, I have a Web 3 business and I dabble in NFTs as well. Just grabbed about 60k USD of SOL NFTs today (ABC/Abracadabra, Okay Bears, Lunar, Claytopia, y00ts). This Ecosystem is strong as ever, the best devs are building, and the TPS has been a godsend. All in all, Solana is stronger than ever, and clearly the go-to chain atm in terms of speed, adoption, user activity, etc. SOL to the Moon!!!
