Crypto Is Rebuilding Itself! 🧠👀

something. I think that we're just holding on to something. Heat. Heat. I think that we just holding on to something. I think that we're just holding on to something. Heat. Heat. I'm doing it. feel away. Heat. Heat. Welcome to Underground Crypto Deep Dive Research Show. Shout out to everybody who's here. I'm sure people will be rolling in here in just a moment. We're going to kick the stream off tonight with the story that I want to tell you about crypto to set the foundation for the new series that we're going to be doing here. And I'm probably going to say it again a little later in the stream. So bear with me. Shout out to Motivation Hero Melissa Chrisos Helen Trafford. Thank you for being here. All right. So, the first generation of blockchain was built around a simple

idea. Create a decentralized ledger that anyone in the world could verify. Bitcoin demonstrated that this concept worked. I hope everybody liked the thumbnail. I thought it worked well with what we were talking about tonight. A network of independent participants could maintain a shared record of transactions without relying on central authorities. But as more people began using blockchain systems, limitations began to appear. Transaction throughput or speed was very limited. Fees increased during the periods of congestion. applications demanded more complex functionality than earlier blockchains were designed to support and developers began asking a fundamental question. What if the architecture itself needed to change? Instead of building a single blockchain responsible for everything, a new system began to separate responsibilities across multiple layers. Modular blockchain. Some layers handle execution, others provide settlements and security. Still others store the data required for verification.

Rollups, module chains, and data availability layers are examples of this evolving architecture. Rather than scaling one chain endlessly, the industry is experimenting with networks composed of multiple interconnected components. These designs may represent the next stage of evolution of blockchain infrastructure. Understanding this shift, it helps explain many of the innovations appearing across the crypto ecosystem today. Now, how all my people doing tonight? Camston in the house. Melissa, you're hilarious saying everybody was still drunk from uh St. Patrick's Day. Maybe that's why they're not here. I don't know. Or maybe it's cuz it's Monday. Definitely feeling like a Monday to me. Not going to lie, I'm pretty tired. I've been working all day. But the show must go on, right? So, let's take a look at our crypto bubbles. My favorite visual representation of data in the market real time. So,

FET is up 18.5%. Zcash up 22%. Uh, Memecore up 14%. River is actually down 12%. What'd it go down to? 1980. Went as high as 2590. That thing just doesn't stop. Uh, Pepe's up 15%. Near up 11%. That's all the big bubbles here. Let's drop down another 100 here. pipping down 47% from like 35 cents 34 cents and it just fell off a cliff to a low of 1795. So basically 18 cents. All right, Pippen taking it not so well. Everything else looks pretty green across the board when we drop down our list here. Look at that. 300 to 400's up 12%. Everything else is somewhere between you know 3.9 and what this 12% but really between like 3 and 5% everything is pretty much up and that's generalized right there are some outliers there. Pippen got wrecked. Yeah,

Pippen gets wrecked and then it bounces back. It's a very volatile coin. Uh let's see what other big bubbles we have. Grass up eight uh 19.8% to 46 cents from 36 cents. So it's up about 10 cents. Uh, Fartcoin up 25%. Build on in the World Liberty Finance ecosystem is this coin right here is up 24% from 18 cents to 22 cents. Very high 22 cents practically 23 cents. Let's drop down another 100. We only look at usually the top 300. Uh,uge or CFG is up 43.5%. Deriv or derive up 26.8%. It's a newer project we've been looking at. Uh, Zen up 13.7%. Raven, is that that's the regular Raven coin, right? Man, that thing pumped today. It's up 18%. And IC NT, which is Impossible Cloud Network token. I don't think they could have picked a longer name

for this for this token here, but it's up 18.5%. Let's move along to our price rundown of the day. Let's refresh it. Make sure we have the latest numbers for you. BTC's been on a bit of a tear. It's up 9.3% in the last 7 days. We like that. I'll be interested to see what the altcoin index looks like over on Coin Market Cap. Are we trending towards a quote unquote altcoin season? And what is the fear and greed index looking at? That's coming up in a minute. So BTC $74,955 almost 75,000. I'm sure it's has it been over 75,000? The chart the 7-day chart here doesn't look like it. Looks like it's ticking up that way. Ethereum 2350. Love to see that. Uh XRP at $1.54 up 12.9%. I'm seeing some green on the 7day for a lot

of these uh tokens here in the top 100. I love that. We already kind of knew that from the crypto bubbles, right? Uh $680 for BNB. Salana $95 almost back to 100. Dogecoin 10. Cardono 29. Hyperlid $40.35. Chainlink $9.94. Are we seeing a bottom for the crypto market in the move up or are we just kind of bouncing before a further continuation to the bottom? Is the pain over? We just don't know. It's hard to tell. The markets are all as far as the four-year cycles and things like that. It's all over the place. It's very hard to tell. Um Monero $371. It's up almost 10%. Canon network 15 cents. XLM up almost eight or sorry up 17.5% to almost 18 or 176. Avalanche $1048. Let me make sure I can see my chat here. All right. Uh Har

10006. So SU not on sale anymore. It's back up over a dollar. Meme core $168 up 10%. And let's go down and see where Flare is at. How is Flare hanging on here? Number 81, still in the top 100. Good to me. I'm sure the king of Flare will be coming rolling in any moment. And then the overall market cap, 2.6 trillion, up 3.6%. Now, there was some news today. I don't know if it's legitimate, right, that um the president was going to do an executive order that might bring $500 billion into the cryptocurrency market. It's a nice chunk of chain. I mean, it'd be nice if it was like $5 trillion, right? If you really wanted to move the needle and kick off a bull run, that's what we would need. Maybe not 5 trillion, maybe like 1

trillion would be huge, but 500 billion is still notable. It's still uh still definitely a big number rolling in. Now, when would that happen? How quick would that get initiated? Don't know. All right, let's take a look at what's trending today in the market. Soul just made a golden arch on the one minute. What does that mean? It outperformed BTC today. Now it's consolidating a little harder. Um I'm not sure what that means really for Soul. A golden arch. I'll have to look at that. Maybe we'll pull that chart up. So Pudgy Penguins as always is trending and it's like the number one trending today. Zcash, Barkcoin, Salana, BTC, Bit Tensor, Hyperliquid, FET. I'm glad to see FET pumping mostly cuz I have a little bit of that I've been holding for forever. Um, it was really interesting, too,

cuz there were supposed to be three coins that went into this alliance and then what was it? One of them pulled out. I think it was Ocean. I think Ocean pulled out of that. I don't know what's going on with that, but that's a good question. Ethereum, Dogecoin, XPL, SU, Ronin Wallet, Pi Network, and XRP. Nothing really here in the trending that um looks new or really looks worth going over. So, we're going to move on to Crypto Rank here. Shout out to anybody rolling in. Smash the like button and uh throw something in the chat so we know you're here. A link to our free Discord in the chat and of course the description link to Discord and then of course many other links that we have affiliated with the channel. So, altcoin index up to 54. That's

a nice move. Let's see what it was. I didn't stream yesterday. I'm sure you guys know that. So, let's see what it was yesterday. So, it was 51 yesterday. So, it moved up considerably. I think it was at like 42 on Saturday or something like that. So, it moved up considerably and then it moved up just a tiny bit more today. I love to see that. Check the one minute. They're promoting McDonald's or is McDonald's promoting them? I would think that McDonald's is bigger than they are. Let's look at the fear and greed index. Uh it says 28. Yesterday it was 23. So it seems like a lot of things started pumping yesterday and then today is just a continuation of that pump, right? So yeah, fear and greed index at 28. Nice. Down here you'll see like a

bar graph if you will. And it looks like there was a nice nice little pump yesterday to about 72,845 for BTC. Finally back in fear, not extreme fear. Exactly. So, we're trending in the right direction. But anybody who's been around for a little while knows that we just want to see this thing hold. I'd much rather have a slow consistent move up than like big spike, even if it gets everybody excited, and then a hard retracement and and then maybe not even a fib retracement. Maybe it goes lower than it was before. All right. So, I'm going to go take a look at the soul chart real quick. Let me move you guys over to the trading view. And of course, I have it up on BTC. And you can take a look at what BTC is doing on

the 15minute. Let's go take a look at the 4hour. I mean, was this your cup and handle here? cup and then handle. Very ugly drawing, but you get the point. If so, well, you could pull a measured move from the top to the bottom, and that would put you up somewhere like 85,500 for all intent purposes. So, let's pull up soul. Let's take a look at that. I've heard of golden arches. Not something I um I look at a lot. All right, there we go. So, we got the Salana chart up. It's on the one minute. Now, he was saying a golden arch. What do you consider to be a golden arch? Is that like the opposite of a death cross? Basically, set on the one minute. 1 minute's a pretty small time frame here. Oh, he was just

making fun of McDonald's. All right, got you. Oh, it's the McDonald's logo. Yeah, the golden arch is McDonald's logo. They come up with all kinds of crazy things in TA, though. Well, since we're here, let's take a look at it. Looking a lot like BTC on the 1 hour. And let's see. If you kind of consider this the flag that it broke out of from where it broke out, looks like you could get back up to 50. Oh, this is market cap. I'm on a market cap chart. That is not what I wanted. I want a regular chart. All right, there we go. It's going to say 57. That doesn't sound right. That would be a a very sad day. And you could probably make this flag a little more perfect. I'm just going for the rough idea here.

Look like maybe we could get up to $100, which is not far from where it is. It's like less than $5 to the to the measured move there. and good chance that this thing, you know, flags out in some way, shape, or form and then gets you the rest of the way. A lot of times when you break out of a flag, you'll make another flag before you really get the move. All right, onward with the show, shall we? Back to Crypto Rank. Let's take a look at what is trending today on Crypto Rank. Of course, these are the boosted things. People paid to advertise Pudgy Penguins on there. Of course, Pepe. Yep, it's falling now. Well, Ms are supposed to fall, right? So, some interesting things on here. Bondex, don't really know anything about that. Camp Network, can't

say I know a lot about that. Sweet BitTensor, Trusta.ai, AI uh OAL technologies grass let's make this the top 20 and not the top 10 see where were we grass zama puffer finance I believe I've heard of that before but I don't know get so many similar projects here in crypto sentiment IDOS we've talked a lot about those two projects is a fork of Ethereum dimension I've definitely heard of that dent we went over quite a bit they look very similar but they're not um in Logo. Dent we talked about quite a bit like a week ago. Uh Vana, never heard of it. Blue Whale AI, of course, Helium, we all know that. And Lo Graange Labs was something that was trending like a month ago or maybe months ago. So, we have quite a few things to go

over here. I hope that you're glad that you made it to the stream tonight and hit this coffee. My coffee, everybody, uh it's broken. It It's broken. My coffee is definitely broken because I keep drinking it and it's not working. I am not getting the energy from it that I need. All right, let's talk about Bondex. Let's see what the heck this thing is. But I love when we come over to Crypto Rank and it gives us lots of projects to talk about because a lot of them will probably be relevant for the next couple of months. That's how it tends to work. Bondex is a web 3, no, a web 3.0 talent network. talent network. That's an interesting take where users own part of the ecosystem via tokenized rewards. So they they're giving tokenized rewards. This thing has

been around for a while. What chart are we on? The daily. Well, it had a rough day when it came out, I guess, cuz it went pretty high. So the 3rd of June 2025. Let's see what that top was there. Something like 45 cents. Something in that ballpark. and it has been nowhere near 45 cents ever since. It's got 1.9 million in market cap, all-time high 35 million. So, a huge disparity. And I guess let's go take a look at the website. Uh, stop applying, get discovered instead. So, does this have something to do with like getting a job? It's what it seems like. It's like a LinkedIn for crypto or something. Work has evolved. Your profile should too. That's what it seems like. Okay. So, this is like the LinkedIn of crypto. Now, is this for all jobs

or is this just for like tech jobs within the crypto space? Say hello to a new way to find a job. Don't see any like wallet connection. Yeah, you can't really connect a wallet here. So, that's a minus for me. Uh, senior accountant, business developer, senior staff dev op engineer. I'm sure they always need that. sales and affiliate marketing. They all say competitive salary. So, whatever that means, they're going to pay you as little as they can. I guess a strategic finance manager, client support, affiliate developer. Competitive salary just sounds like, well, let's do the interview and and see what you're thinking because if what you're thinking is less than what we're thinking, we're glad to pay you less. All right. So, it looks like like a LinkedIn basically. It looks like they have quite a few jobs on

here. I mean, 490 for engineers. Like, you see there's quite a bit of stuff here. It's quite a few jobs. Um, will it get you a good job? Don't know. Bondex. All right. So, if you're looking for some work, maybe Bondex is the way to go. Let's move along. Blues guy in the building. Welcome in. Welcome in. He says, uh, greetings and gratitude to all everybody. Thank you so much. Appreciation. Glad to be here and grateful to have a community full of joy and happiness. Absolutely. Underground, my man. You awesome, bro. Thank you for all you do. Appreciate it on a hard day like today. It's been a rough day. Uh much appreciation. Let's go. Hype in the chat. Yep. Hype them up, man. Keep that chat running. I appreciate you. Camp Network. Now, I feel like we've talked

about this before. Sounds really familiar, but I can't say I know what it is. The 27th of August, 2025 token generation event. Again, chart looking very similar to Bondex. um just was as high as 32 cents and now it's 0.002. It's been doing a whole lot of nothing. It lost all of its value pretty quickly and then never really regained any value. I mean, look at that thing. 5.8 million in market cap, been as high as 528 million. Huge disparity there. It's hard to have a lot of confidence. I mean, one thing if for some reason your chart looks like this, we don't have to make we don't have to make this all about this coin specifically, but this if you saw this chart and it was something you really were bullish on, right? For whatever reason, you were

really excited about whatever coin had a chart like this. I mean, you're buying bottoms, right? Like this is I just it's hard to believe this thing could go much lower than this, although it could because it can go to zero. Don't think it can't go to zero. People will buy stuff with like, oh, it's at like a 2 million market cap and it's dropped like 90%. How much lower can it go? Zero. It can go to zero. That's how much lower it could go. Camp network is a layer 1 blockchain for digital identity and IP in web 3. We see a lot of projects with this narrative. Are they doing a good job at whatever they set out to do? That becomes the question. And the chart says people don't necessarily think so. When I see a chart like

that, it says to me people might have speculated in the beginning. Maybe they bought during seed rounds, but they all sold off pretty quick and there was no recovery. So that tells me that confidence or spec positive speculation in the market just wasn't there for this project. And there's a lot of factors. It could be, you know, where the team's located in the world, what country they're operating out of, and what kind of crypto um, you know, rules and regulations they have, if any. And then, of course, it could just be branding, it can be market, um, at the time of launch. It can be their u marketing if they ever did any or didn't do any. All kinds of things. I mean, you never know. There could have been something to do with some of the founders or

something. negative press. So, when you're looking at something like this, you really got to dig in deep and find out why this thing is doing so terribly. But, let's just talk about what they're saying, right? Built for the future of AI and IP. A lot of competition in this in this realm, though. You got to got to realize IP definitely some competition, but AI a lot of competition, right? Camp Network is a layer 1 blockchain built to modernize intellectual property infrastructure and empower the next generation of AI agents on verifiable IP. Core beliefs that shape our vision. Own, shape, monetize. Uh, built for a AI agent economy or agentic networks, you could say creating a global IP respiratory. Looks like maybe these are some of their partners. Rewarded TV. That sounds interesting. I don't know what that's about. So,

let's go look at the apps in their community. See if there's anything that we recognize here. Touch, grab, press, or smack that like button would be truly appreciated. It absolutely would be. Thank you, Melissa. Uh, three engine, four club, 95B, all access, eightbound. I don't recognize any of these. Beam. Okay. Is that the beam we all know or is that just another beam? It's hard to know because there will be projects that have uh similar names. Corner boys building cannabis and culture on chain. Sounds like some DGEN memecoin stuff right there. And there's a faucet. So, is this thing in uh test net? Must be in test net, right? All right. People farming an airdrop. Is that why this thing is trending today? Sometimes you really wonder like why is this thing today trending? Is it just because the

whole market's doing well and people are looking for things that are super super low, right? For that high return so much IQ man. I love when my brain hurts so good. Thank you kindly sir for your dedication to your channel and community. You are welcome and uh everybody else is welcome too. Thanks for being here. So, Sweet Bit Tensor, we know those trust trust the trust the AI like trust a AI trust and AI. I don't know. I think that's what they were going for. Let's take a look at that chart. Token generation event the 21st of July 2025. Market cap 7.7 million. Have some highs up here around 38 cents. Right now, it's at about 4 cents, a low 4 cent. and it's been as high as 66.2 million. Still a big disparity for sure, but things have

not been super bullish for crypto right now. So, a lot of things are going to have a big disparity. And again, a lot of competition when it comes to AI. Now, a lot of projects in AI are doing different things, but still a lot of competition. So, redefine trust for the AI era. That's going to be hard to do. Getting people to really trust AI, that's a difficult task. uh building a trusted open identity network for AI in crypto, a lot of identity stuff around um AI agents and stuff because if we just have AI agents that are completely private or you know no ownership that you can see well then they can do a lot of crazy stuff and not be tied back. There needs to be some accountability even if people really don't want to have, you

know, IDs and stuff linked to their AI agents because what if the AI agent does something crazy? Then you didn't know it could do that, steps outside of the box, tries to take over a local government, I don't know, and now you're at fault for it. That could be rather concerning. That sounds like a terrible court case to have to go through because you know the courts and the judges have no idea how to handle that. They just don't, right? And you're going to be at the mercy of whoever they consider to be a specialist, right? Who could know their stuff or they could be full of crap. It's hard. It's a hard ball game there if you get into that situation. the media score which stands for monetary engagement diversity identifi identity age. I want to say four

different words there. They give themselves a 90. You know, you got to love that. They gave themselves a 90. That that's great. And then this seems to be the metrics that they go by here. Uh number of addresses by total interactions. It says you. I don't know what it means by you. I'm not using this thing. Top 1% that's an ad orbiter finance. And then you have Sync Swap, Layer Bank. You have a bunch of things in their ecosystem. Um, Alto, which we've gone over Alto. This was an interesting project. Pancake Swap V3, XY Finance, Horizon DEX, and there is a second page there. I don't think you need me to read everything in their ecosystem. And it's on Lena, right? So, if you want to see what chain this is on, at least right now it's on Lena.

I don't know if you can change it. I think it's pretty native to the Lena ecosystem. And a lot of people are pretty bullish on Lena. So, that could be a positive for this token. Doesn't look like that token has really had its day in the sun right now. All right. Oel Technologies, ticker O. Uh, Obo network is a distributed consensus protocol designed for proof of stake. Ethereum, let's see, chart looks about the same. People are really uh, I guess, searching some things they think are gems right now. The 7th of May 2025, market cap 2.9 million, almost 3 million, been as high as 47 million. Huge disparity there. Looks like some really small projects getting some kind of attention and trending. I'm pretty sure the trending is measured by people searching it on crypto rank. So the the

trending is very specific to crypto rank itself. How many people use crypto rank? I have no idea. So advancing the infinite Ethereum economy. Um Oel is building foundational infrastructure for Ethereum's ecosystem. We are guided by an optimistic vision of the future. Most of the world's value flows into Ethereum's ecosystem. Okay, that's news to me. Thought most of the value in the world was still probably outside of crypto given given the market cap. Um, Opel secures and powers Ethereum economy. So, we know this thing is very much to do with Ethereum. Opal distributed validators currently secure billions of dollars in value and will eventually secure trillions. That's a that's a big claim. The Oel stack will power hundreds of billions of dollars in value. So, they keep hitting on that on that topic across the Ethereum economy starting with the

network's first wave of AI agents. So, they're very much involved in AI agents. Yeah, that's fun to read. Uh the staking ingame Opel distributed validators are the most resilient, highest performing validators on Ethereum, offering a significant upgrade to legacy validator technology. Okay, so they're very much in validation or validators. Most staked ETH will live on distributed validators because Ethereum needs secure stake. This is why they represent the staking ingame. Uh, Ethereum's economy is set to grow to trillions of dollars in value. Obel, I like to call it. Devs are built to secure that value. So, they're building for the future and they're very much hoping that Ethereum captures a lot of that value. The premier Ethereum staking offering for institutions, so like seed rounds and stuff. Uh, the Obl, the Oel stack, I should say. This is kind of

cool. Look at that thing. It looks like watercolors when you mix it with like some soap, like something you would do with your kid when they're little. It's trippy. I like that. Um, a foundation for everything in the Ethereum ecosystem. Ethereum is a limitless hub of disruptive technology. Uh, decentralized technology that is the Oel stack brings that technology to life. The Opel token of course that would be the main token for their ecosystem. So you can get started if you wanted to learn more about staking protocol node operators. Homestakers start staking without the hurdles. All right, that's about as far as I probably want to go with that. These ads on crypto rank absolutely killing me. And I just accidentally closed p uh panzer dogs. That sucks. I'll have to open that later. Puffer Finance. Salamander says plague dogs.

Okay, Salamander. It is Puffer Finance. Ticker Puffer. Yeah, I thought we had been over this before. Looks like the 15th of October 2024. It's a little longer than the last coins that we were just looking at. 14.2 million. Been as high as 108 million just like all the other projects. huge disparity between current market cap and all-time high market cap. Puffer is an Ethereum liquid staking supercharged by the een layer or I think it's supposed to be engine IEN. I like to call it IEN or EIEN, but I'm probably just, you know, overthinking it. I think it's engine layer, right? Let's go to their website. I do remember Puffer because it had this ocean theme. And I was like, this should be on SUI, not Ethereum. Building the future of Ethereum. The branding just looks so good for SUI.

And then here's their uh you know web 2 facing website. They do have a launch app. So there is like a web 3 uh stake ETH, get puff ETH. So you get like a wrapped version. Let's just launch the app. Take a look at the real stuff here. So Puffer is live on B&B chain as well. So it doesn't just live on Ethereum. And we see a lot of financial um projects like this. You got stake, faults, defi, bridges, puffer token itself, your portfolio all together. Then in governance of course you have proposals and gauges and validators for I guess the puffer system specifically. And then of course they have a swap right here on their main page. Let's go to stake. See what uh APY they got going on. Okay. Apparently, we're already there. So, they got Carrot.

I remember when carrot was a big deal. You get 12x for 360 days. 1x. So, wait. You're telling me if I lock up my carrot in 30 days, I'll double my carrot. What does it say for puffer? It doesn't say that for puffer. So, it's using the carrot token a lot in this. I didn't know carrots were in the ocean. I've heard of sea cucumbers, but never see carrots. All right, let's move along. It's a financial product. There's not a lot for me to say about this right now. Bro, Crypto Rank needs to chill out with the popups. It is ridiculous. I'm never signing up for the upgraded, you know, crypto rank just because I'm so annoyed by the popups that I I'll I'll purposely never sign up for it. Uh, Dimension is not a new project. We've heard

of it before. And it looks like, let's scroll down. Uh, the 6th of February, 2024, 18.3 million been as high as 1.2 billion. Talk about a disparity. Oh, that's crazy. Uh, dimension is a modular settlement layer within the Cosmos ecosystem that facilitates the deployment of specialized rollups. Um, very much in in line with what we're going to be talking about today to raise your crypto IQ. That's very much in in line with that rollups, modular blockchains, the innovation within blockchain technology. So, Dent Dent apparently is trending again. I don't know why. Dent wireless digital and global mobile operators. Oh, look at that. Reliable Jay in the house. What's up? What's up? Uh, does it feel like a Monday to you, Reliable Jay? It just It's been a long time. It's been a long time since I had a Monday

that really really just felt like a Monday. I don't work a traditional like Monday through Friday 9 to5, you know? So, man, does it feel like Monday. All right, enough of that. Let's see. Uh, 2019, August 26th, been as high as 2 billion in market cap and right now it's at 21 million. I don't even want to talk about it. It is exactly what it says it is. Global mobile operator. I don't know. Whatever they're doing doesn't seem to be moving the needle very well. Blue Whale. And I know that we've talked about Blue Whale before again with the popups. ridiculous. Um, let's look at this blue whale token generation event. Looks like the 21st of October 2025. And just like a lot of things, it's lost most of its value. At least it had this pump here. Doesn't

look like much, but it's something. 7.5 million. Uh, alltime high 45 million. And blue whale is a web 3 wallet experience using personalized AI and contextual data. I know all you guys are real excited about that contextual data. I I I hear whispers in the community about contextual data. No, I'm just kidding. All right, let's check out their website real quick. See if it's any good. Reliable J said, "We had a blizzard here today. No school. Chilled with the kids. Felt like the weekend." Hey, I'm glad for you. I mean, not that you had a blizzard, but that you got to enjoy your day. I I'm sure it's not your first blizzard by any means, so I doubt it was rocking the boat too much. Stay inside. Right. Um, I don't know what's up with this website, but it

is not loading. I'll try again. Yeah, it's it's not Oh, there we go. I spoke too soon. Now it's working. Start reboot. Scroll down. All right. website kind of flashy, but it hasn't said anything yet. What is this? Okay, we have words. People talk about us and then there's nothing. Um, I I I'm going to go with this website's not loading up properly. This looks super laggy. I'm going to go with this is a bit of a nothing burger and we're going to move on because it's rather not loading or the website's messed up. Vanna now I don't know what VA is. Kind of sounds catchy. Sounds a little catchy. I would say 46.1 million in market cap been as high as 1 billion. Looks like token generation event. All right, I'm messing it all up. Let's go to

the weekly. Make this a little cleaner here. Looks like back in the 16th of December 2024. Vanna VA is an EVM compatible blockchain for users owned private data. Or is it data? I don't know. Own your data. Own your data. The open protocol for portable userowned data. All right. They're really going hard on that. What can you do with VA? Great question. Please tell me. Vanna makes personal data portable and programmable across application. Tools built on the network let you connect your existing accounts, move your context, and control how it's used. Sounds like a very techy developer thing. I don't know why um any retail would be excited about this. The best data is trapped in walled gardens. It's one way to put it. an open protocol for the next era of data. I don't think you guys want

me to read to you guys about data, but maybe it's really great for, you know, developers. And the last here on our list, Saga, which sounds familiar. Saga is a layer 1 protocol for automatic automatically provisioning applications specific to blockchain. Again, sounds very technical. Let's go to the weekly chart. See what happens. It's been around a while. So, April 8th, 2024, market cap 32 million and uh we're alltime high 703 million. Again, huge disparity. Almost everything that we've looked at looks like some kind of tiny old coin old by our standards that is getting some kind of pump. Whoa, that girl's like just bam in your face. Uh where the crazies dare to dream their craziest dream. Is she one of those? Was that lady one of the crazies? Uh, Saga is a hyperscaling platform for AI and crypto

applications. Saga AI. Saga's character AI defines good synthetic relationships. Saga protocol network of layer 1 blockchains. Join Saga ecosystem. I'm not seeing anything amazing here. feels like the same thing I read on on almost every AI website, right? Saga payments, the next generation of payments created for people who needed them. Well, like don't don't overwhelm me with description. We build stuff for the people who need it. Okay. All right. And that's really what we have that's trending here. and let's open chatbt. Let's look at what's going on in the news today. Or I'm always hitting the wrong button here. Please give me all relevant cryptocurrency news and anything that is trending in the cryptocurrency section on Twitter category section. I never know what I'm supposed to say. We're going to go with that. Let's see what it it should

understand the assignment, right? I should probably pull this up in advance, but I didn't. So, of course, Bitcoin pumping, that's always like the number one. Uh, Bitcoin climbs in Asia as other markets remain tepided or tepid. Tepid must be like a Chinese word. No, I'm just kidding. Uh, Bitcoin clears month high. This miners chart outshines its peers. Charles Sch Swab direct crypto offering is coming soon. Okay. Binance sues Wall Street Journal over reporting on Iranian sanctions. I did see that emergency declaration law ends cryptocurrency ATM use in India sidelining about 800 units. Well, that's a big blow to those, you know, whoever runs them. That would suck if you had, you know, a big uh fraction of these units were yours in Indiana. you'd be trying to ship them to another state. I guess I know that I've seen

I've seen a lot of uh a lot of videos about um old people being scammed and being like coerced into sending like their life savings and Bitcoin on the Bitcoin ETM. I I just don't really know how you get that suckered into something like that. Um, I don't know if they pretend to kidnap somebody. I know AI can be pretty convincing and they're like trying to send rants. I don't I don't know. It's crazy. I don't know what would make you even as a I get old people are not technically savvy, but as an old person, what would make you think that you were in a dire situation where you would need to send your life savings in Bitcoin of all things to some random person or wallet address? I really feel like if I feel like if somebody

legitimately had you send you would send it some other way, right? Like they'd be able to take your bank account or something. I don't know. It's very weird. Anybody ever heard of it? I watched a video was really a news uh you know clip where the police stopped some old guy at a Bitcoin ETM as he was being coerced on his cell phone to send like something like 50 to 60 grand. I think he had already sent them like 30 or 40 grand. Um and I have no idea why. My problem, the reason why I'm saying that, it just reminded me from the Bitcoin um you know, ATMs is that they were trying to blame the entire situation on Bitcoin ETMs like it wasn't the hackers like hackers or hackers, I don't want to call them hackers, uh fraudulent

people. It wasn't the fraudulent people probably in some place outside of America's jurisdiction, right? Like India or Pakistan or something like that. It wasn't them, right? It's not their fault. It's Bitcoin ATMs. It's like those people have been coercing old people out of large amounts of money for a really long time. Like they just find a new way to do it. But why would we blame, you know, we didn't blame all the other things that they did, right? They would email you and pretend to be your lost son who's now the king of some country you never knew existed and he needs money from you. something something like that. The prince of something, right? Um why are we suddenly going to attack Bitcoin ATMs just because they found a way to exploit them? And also, you don't need a

Bitcoin ATM to send a large amount of money via the Bitcoin network to somebody, right? Like they could just have you get on Coinbase, link your account, move money there, and then send it to them on there. just maybe it's easier to get them to do it on the Bitcoin ATM. I don't know. Anyways, Bitcoin decoupling from stocks. They say crypto is starting to move independently from equities again. Is that bullish? I don't know. Uh digital assets behaving more like a macro hedge. That's bullish, I guess. Massive institutional Bitcoin buying. I think a lot of people feel like Bitcoin's about to make a big run. Spark Decks is my is my favorite ever. Yeah, I do like Spark Decks a lot. Shout out to the Flare ecosystem. Big traditional finance adoption. Uh Charles Schwabs preparing direct crypto trading. That

should bring some money in. I don't I don't really know how big of a market they have, but I'm sure it's considerable. Binance legal controversy trying to sue Wall Street. Crypto event disrupted by geopolitics. The major token 2049 conference in Dubai was postponed. Hm. I wonder why. I wonder why that would happen. Heat. Heat. All right, you guys should be able to hear me now. Uh, somebody tell me what was the last thing you heard. Yeah, Blue Sky says, "You mentioned had a Monday like day." Yeah, it's just been n non-stop. And when it rains, it pours. Now I'm frozen. Whenever I restart my microphone, it always uh freezes my camera. And again, when it rains, it pours. All right, let's do our talking points of the day. All right. Well, it's a small stream. I don't know why

I had high expectations for today. I I thought the thumbnail was good. I thought I don't know. I started talking about this and then now I feel like it's going to come off like uh I'm unhappy or something about it. It's just uh a little bit slower now. Says you're not frozen. I was frozen. I unfroze it pretty quickly cuz I know it always happens when I do my microphone. Anyways, what I want to say is I appreciate everybody who's here right now. You guys are the real MVPs of this channel and I thank you kindly. It is Monday and I have a feeling that that's why, you know, we're not seeing as much action. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. The reason why I thought it'd be good, it's a good topic, beginning of a series, good thumbnail, and

then there was a lot of um bullishness over the weekend. I thought we'd have a few more people. Uh thank you. Melissa says the thumbnail was good. Yeah, the thumbnail was good, but thumbnails don't always equal a lot of clicks. Sometimes it really just feels like YouTube doesn't show me to anybody. Uh, we had a stream, I think it I want to say it was Friday's stream last week where during the entirety of the stream, they showed or they didn't I don't know how many people they showed it to, but 32 people clicked on it, which is very weird. That's like super low. So, I usually have 32 people within like the first 30 minutes of a stream. Um, and then like 2 days before that, we had like 275 people click through the stream. So, very strange. Um,

some of it, you know, you always want to blame yourself that it's the thumbnail, it's the title, it's whatever, but you're really at the mercy of YouTube. And if somebody else with a huge following decides to like go live during your normal timing, they're going to feed all of the, you know, people to them because they're already a large channel and they know they're going to get a bunch of money probably in ads and click-through rate. Don't worry, shake it off, bro. We love you. Hey, I'm not stressed. It's all right. Um, I was just trying to say like I had uh some hope for a Monday and it just didn't work out. Bro, people will come, my man. They will. Well, it's a tough time. People think we just started the bare market. Can't blame them. Don't blame

yourself, Group. Hey, I appreciate the uh definitely appreciate the sentiment there. I'm all right. It was just a rough day and it has nothing to do with YouTube. All right, so let's do our talking points here. Let's try to raise our crypto IQ, even if it's just for the core foundational people here. So, the first generation of blockchains, do you know your history? Bitcoin and early blockchains proved decentralized decentralized systems could function without central authorities. However, these systems prioritize security and decentralization over performance. I mean, the big narrative was decentralization over all the things. I mean, I think Bitcoin was really born out of what happened in 2008. I've heard that narrative many, many times. I don't know if that's what the devs of Bitcoin were really concerned about at the time, but it could have been because it

would have been very relevant. But they weren't really thinking of major adoption and how that would look on the network. So, fast forwarding us here, scaling challenges. What is it doing? Trying to search decentralization. I don't need it to do that. No, thank you. It's freezing up on me. Like go away, go away. All right. So, scaling challenges. Now, fast forward all the way to today and we still talk about scaling challenges. So, this problem has had some simple innovations like rollups and stuff, layer 2 networks if you will, but it didn't completely solve the problem. Scaling challenges. As adoption increased, networks face challenges including limited transaction throughputs and rising fees during periods of congestion. These issues revealed the limitations of early blockchain design. Architectural evolution. Developers began experimenting with new approaches to scaling and infrastructure. Rather than relying

on a single chain to perform every function, systems began separating responsibilities across multiple layers. Um, how many systems or networks are modular? I don't think it's many as you would think it is. Uh, rollup architecture because rollup really was the first big solution to scaling, but a lot of it was optimistic roll-ups and they're exactly what you think they are. They were batching large batches off, you know, offchain or on a side chain and then putting them through on the main chain as one chain. But securitywise, it was all very optimistic that everything that they were putting through was legitimate. And then you could argue or change things if they were fraudulent or not correct later. Now, anybody who's ever worked in any kind of business or anything would say that sounds like a terrible idea for a network

security-wise, right? For throughput, for just things being finalized on the network, that's probably a great solution. But that's why we we've moved from like optimistic roll-ups to like zero knowledge roll-ups that use a mathematical equation to prove the stuff is legitimate without actually knowing what the details of the transaction are. Now, it's a mathematical sequence. I don't claim to know exactly how it does it. That would probably hurt mine and your brain, but maybe sometime we'll dive into it. So, rollup architecture. Rollups emerged as a major scaling solution. And as I just said, they process transactions offchain while using the base layer for security and settlements. Modular blockchain design. Modular architectures divide blockchain responsibilities into separate components. These components may include execution, settlement, and data availability later layers. Um, data availability is really important because in order to verify

all the data or the state or the memory of a network, every transaction that's ever happened needs to be accessible. Not just stored, but accessible. Imagine you had a lot of stuff stored. Maybe you run a business that you need a lot of equipment, right? And you have it stored. Well, having it stored is is is great, but like you need to be able to get in there and get what you need for specific jobs with that equipment. And that could be a pain if the storage is not set up well. Infrastructure ecosystems. Modern crypto ecosystems now include multiple layers of infrastructure working together. Support working together to support applications. This creates more flexible systems for scaling decentralized networks. So it's what we're moving to. Why this matters? The architecture of crypto system influences scalability, security, and decentralization. Understanding

these changes helps explain the direction of the industry. And then we go back to our talking points. So, it's Monday and we're kicking off a new stream. So, the talking points in the story are very much just gearing us up for what we're going to be getting into. So they were kind of macro, if you will, that we were just kind of trying to set the scene about blockchain history, what the problem was, and the things that are trying to evolve to solve those problems. And we'll be going much deeper in the coming days. Of course, tomorrow, the next day, we're going to talk about rollups. We're going to be talking about all kinds of things. Um, some of the stuff you've already heard. I'm sure there will be information that is new to you in there depending on

what your crypto IQ is and how far advanced you are in cryptocurrency. Let's bounce back to the crypto bubbles 1 through 100. Let's take a look. We'll get the hour. So, Siren getting a bit of a pump. XRP 2%. What is it up to? A$157. So, it just keeps going. Wow. I like that. So, while we've been streaming, XRP's been pumping. I do have a nice bag of XRP, and I'm glad to see it pumping. And from there, that really concludes the show. Was a quick one tonight, even though we had quite a bit of stuff to go over. It is a Monday. Blues Guy says, "Uh, yeah, man, that's the spirit. We love you, bro." Hey, back at you everybody. Thanks for being here. And um I would I will definitely find some way to reward all of

my main people as we grow. There will come a time no matter if I get any better at all at the channel. Um there will come a time when there will be a lot more people because crypto will just be bullish, right? and people will want to learn about crypto. And I think at that point, YouTube will probably favor me a little bit more because there will be a large amount of people. Again, we forget how new and and and and cutting edge we are being people who've been in crypto for a period of time because a lot of people as crypto pumps and they somehow hear about it or get some kind of interest in investing in it. You're going to find out how many people don't know anything about crypto. And that's okay. That's what the channel's

for. That's why we're here. That's why we have our our main people who are here raising their crypto IQ. They're going to be you guys are going to be a lot of help when those people come in. We just got to be patient and continue our due diligence until then. Uh you showing up is the reward. Absolutely. Thank you. Uh much applies. Full appreciation and gratitude. Love the channel. Love the vibes. Love the enormous IQ people. Keep it up, brother. Respect. Thank you very much, Blues Guy. I appreciate you as well. And that goes for everybody. Reliable Jay, Melissa. We're just going to keep on going on. I'm not I'm not going to stop. Sometimes the streams might be a little shorter here and there. I'm going to grab my uh my NFT, if you will. >> You're welcome,

Melissa. Thanks for being here. So, we do this little simple game. We just got to get to 1,000. Very easy to do. I started playing it the other day. I was really tired. It was like late. It was like 5 in the morning and I realized I hadn't done it yet and I just zoned off and the next thing you know I was at like 15,000 points and I was like, whoa, I only needed to get to a,000 points. It was a little overkill there. This is a great game to just kind of zone off and uh not even have to think about what you're doing. I don't know if you're like me. Sometimes I need that to just reset my mind a little bit. Of course, it was late. What I needed to do was go to bed.

With so many things to do, I find I find going to bed quite difficult cuz there's always one more thing that I could be getting done. And that's how it goes when you work for yourself, right? It's why a lot of people don't want to work for themselves, honestly. They want to have their 9 to5. They want to clock out. They want to be like, I'm done for today. When you run your own businesses, it's not how it works. There's always a little bit more you could get done. And if you get a little bit more, you might be ahead a little bit for tomorrow. You might make a little bit more money. You might set yourself up a little better in the future. And so there's always this drive to get a little bit more done. >> And

speaking of that, I have quite a few things to do after the stream, >> but I love it honestly. Don't have a boss sweating me all the time. And that's the boss sweating you has never been the big issue for me. For me, it's always been uh imagine having like kind of a set amount of money that you make and like you kind of know in the foreseeable future, even for some people, quite a ways out. You know what you're going to make. Like you know what you're going to make at the beginning of the year and you get to the end of the year and it's pretty accurate. You didn't suddenly make far more money than you hope for. When you run your own business, you always have that opportunity where like you could potentially make a lot

more money than what you were counting on because things went well, business was good. Of course, it can go the complete opposite. Oh man, don't tell me I lost under a thousand. Dang, I haven't failed one of those in a really long time. I was running way too loose there. Whatever. It's not important. Just didn't get an NFT today. Actually, I don't even know if they're NFTs. I didn't get anything for my farm. That's what I meant. And that fits that fits pretty well for about how the rest of the day has been going. All right. Honestly, one of the things I've been enjoying the most right now is foggo fishing, which borderline feels a little sad. It's tough being a working man. Palm trees. Yep. Uh I can never beat the chainer's dream without a mouse. I wouldn't

even try without a mouse. That's hard. Plague Dog says, "I've been in crypto for seven years, still learning new things because the space stays evolving." Exactly. I mean, there's a few other categories of technology that are always advancing, but um this is definitely one that kind of combines them all, right? I mean, you could you could put quantum computing inside cryptocurrency. You could put AI inside cryptocurrency, cutting edge financial stuff like crossber payments, of course, your XRP and XLM type narratives. Um, it's just a really good point where like everything can kind of come together and I think that's what makes crypto so powerful and why eventually it's going to uh it's going to do something eventually, just a matter of how long. All right, let's grab some coins from the Robin Hood test net faucet and do our

regular onchain GM type stuff. I was I kept going and hoping I'd be on the leaderboard and then I read that test nets are excluded and I was like no wonder why. I was like I know I did it more than 60 times. That is where uh reading really helps. Oh, they combine this together into one thing. I like that. I don't know what they were waiting for. So, we can deploy smart contract. We can do our GM and we could do it all on one thing. All right, everybody. Well, was glad to show up. Was glad to do all the things that we normally do and raise that crypto IQ. I thank you everybody for being here. We will have another show tomorrow. So again, the talking points and things will be a little more in-depth. We were

just setting up the series for the week. I'm going to go ahead and hop off. It's that bare market Monday kind of vibe, even though we're getting a little bit of pump, but it needs to hold it. Um, bogus blog should totally count testnet. Yeah, of course. Um, they want me to spend I don't know what it costs, but you know, it's not free. And I don't get it. Like before I hop off, I just want to say this. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me because on a test net, you're trying to put as many transactions on there, which is beneficial for the devs in the test net because they want to see the whole system run at full capacity and they need people to do it, right? I don't know why they don't just set

up bots to run things. That's a totally different story. And then we're doing it because we're hoping for some kind of financial incentive for doing it, for being a part of it. But why would you want to just GM on Ethereum? Like Ethereum network, the the official mainet or the mainet of any anything? Why would I just want to like GM? What is that? Just just put a good morning text on the on the network. That sounds really silly. And you have to pay fees. So, I I don't really get the point of it, but if you do it, you know, GM onchain GM will give you uh will give you it says your daily web 3 ritual. Like, you're just going to you're just such a hardcore crypto person that you just wake up in the morning and

just fire off a GM or just a random Ethereum transaction just just because you're so bullish. I I mean, this person's done this 994 times. They're going to get 0.1 ETH. seems pretty likely. I mean, the number two there is is coming for them a little bit, but like don't you don't you think they're spending more money than they're dang near going to make? Maybe because there's a lot of chains on here. So, as I say that, I realize like maybe you know they're using one of these other chains where things are really cheap and so maybe it's maybe it's not so bad. But, um still you're spending real money and then what happens when you're in top place and then like last minute you get kicked out of top place? you go from getting 0.1 ETH to 05

ETH. That's a big drop. Are you still profitable at that point? Anyways, I digress. Thank you everybody for being here. Thank you for enjoying the Underground Crypto Deep Dive Show. We'll be back tomorrow full force with a much longer show tomorrow. I just have a lot of things I got to get done. Says, "No problem. Anytime underground." Thank you, Melissa. Agreed. Testers should get rewarded. Absolutely. or they should have had what what would have been cool is if onchain GM had like a separate leaderboard for you know people doing the test net stuff and then maybe they could have gave better incentives right so a quick one tonight but we did our due diligence we showed up we did the stream I'll see you in the next one stay underground stay crypto and uh underground crypto out see you

tomorrow
