Bitcoin is testing the last major resistance level

0:02

at 52,000. And

0:04

if it can break through and stay above

0:06

it, it's possible that we go to previous

0:08

all-time highs of $69,000 and

0:10

beyond before the halving in April.

0:12

And over the past week, altcoins

0:15

have been following Bitcoin's trajectory and

0:17

pumping like crazy. Ethereum finally waking

0:19

up, up 12%, and other top

0:21

tokens by market cap like Vechain

0:23

making big moves up almost 60%,

0:25

stacks up 42%, and just an

0:27

overall green week in the crypto markets. This

0:29

neat altcoin price chart can be viewed for

check out altcoin price action in real time.

0:40

Bullish. Crypto historically follows a rather consistent cycle

0:42

that has been mainly driven by the Bitcoin

0:44

halving, which happens about every 4 years. And

0:46

as we can see here with the Moneyline

0:49

tool, Bitcoin has been in a bullish

0:51

trend since January 2023. In

0:53

a bull market, it's best to be bullish to

0:56

take advantage of opportunities in the market. This

0:58

is the time to be working on increasing

1:00

our income so we have more money to

1:03

invest over time, investing time in learning more

1:05

about all this new exciting technology, spreading awareness

1:07

about it with others, and most

1:09

importantly, paying attention to what's going on

1:11

around the world that is affecting our

1:13

lives and futures. This year is an

1:15

extremely important year for many countries around

1:17

the world with upcoming elections.

1:19

Global elites are actively working to

1:21

limit our free speech, crack down

1:24

on open decentralized inclusive, fair financial

1:26

systems like Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. And

1:28

there is an arms race for

1:30

control over all of our wealth,

1:32

private property, and freedom at large

1:34

via the creation, implementation, and enforcement

1:36

of a central bank digital currency

1:38

with a social credit system. China has

1:41

already achieved this. And in Europe, they are

1:43

testing out means to restrict freedom of speech.

1:46

Check it out. Proposed Irish hate speech

1:48

regulations could have a chilling effect on

1:50

freedom. The problem with the bill is

1:52

that hatred in this instance is not

1:54

defined. Indeed the term hatred is often

1:57

used to describe a range of legitimate

1:59

concerns that in the political class

2:01

would prefer not to talk about, including

2:03

the tender box of immigration that Ireland

2:06

is now coming to terms with. Even

2:08

more worrying is the Bill's criminalizing of

2:10

possessions of ill-defined hateful material with a

2:12

view to the material being communicated to

2:15

the public or a section of the

2:17

public. Despite Ireland's common law tradition of

2:19

innocent until proven guilty, the legislation places

2:21

the onus on the accused to prove

2:24

he or she did not intend to

2:26

distribute the hateful material in public. There

2:28

is a war waging over our thoughts,

2:31

feelings, money, ability to own private

2:33

property, to be in complete control

2:35

and ownership of our assets, over

2:38

all of our freedoms and lives at large.

2:40

And this year will be one of the

2:42

most defining ones for our generation and generations

2:44

to come. So let's explore how we can

2:47

prepare, resist the globalist agenda for complete power

2:49

and control over us, and how

2:51

we can build a new better future together. Hello,

2:53

I'm Crypto Casey, a little congested from a ski

2:55

trip out in Big Sky, Montana. Welcome to another

2:58

episode of Crypto This Week. Let's take

3:00

3:40

wallet like Tandrum wallet. It's the size of

3:42

a credit card, multi currency, multi chain, and

3:44

it's by far the easiest crypto wallet to

3:46

3:48

now and is extremely affordable. So scroll down

3:53

and official sites as well as redeem any

3:55

special offers they have for us. Freedom of

3:57

speech is a defining characteristic of the United

3:59

States. We have freedom of

4:01

conscience, freedom to think, and there is

4:03

no exception to that. There is no

4:05

hate speech element like what Ireland is

4:07

trying to impose. Just because someone may

4:09

hate what you say, or vice versa,

4:11

doesn't negate the fact that we are

4:14

free to do so. Because we are

4:16

citizens of the country, not slaves. However,

4:18

this right to free speech is under

4:20

attack via censorship in the media, masks

4:23

as a war against the spread of

4:25

disinformation. And what's egregious about this reality

4:27

is that someone can state something that

4:29

is factually accurate, but if someone doesn't

4:32

like it, or if it's inconvenient for

4:34

the global elites overall plan, then

4:36

we could lose our right to effectively

4:38

speak or express our thoughts. Elon

4:41

Musk tweeted, Free speech is the

4:43

bedrock of democracy. That's why it's the

4:45

first amendment. Without free speech, all

4:47

is lost. And as we all may know,

4:49

one of the reasons Elon Musk fought Twitter

4:51

was an attempt to protect free speech. And

4:53

the global elites do not like it. Court

4:56

orders Elon Musk to testify in

4:58

the SEC's investigation of his Twitter

5:00

takeover. Yes, those in power have

5:02

their sights set on Musk. In

5:04

addition to X, formerly Twitter, being

5:06

a platform that prioritizes free speech,

5:08

it will also soon be an

5:10

open, inclusive financial system that rivals

5:12

traditional financial systems that the government

5:14

and private central banks control. And

5:16

as we explored together in this video, you can check

5:18

out by clicking on the link above. Money

5:21

is essentially a system of control

5:23

designed to enslave us. And anything

5:25

that undermines that is

5:27

and or will be under attack by

5:29

governments, private central banks, and their bottom

5:31

paid for political puppet. In

5:34

addition to X, this absolutely includes Bitcoin

5:36

and other open decentralized cryptocurrencies, which is

5:38

why as people in crypto, we need

5:41

to pay attention to what's happening around

5:43

the world, what's happening in

5:45

our part of the world, spread awareness

5:47

about it and take action. One

5:50

of the most important actions we need to

5:52

take is to get familiar with and involved

5:54

with the upcoming elections. We need to figure

5:56

out who in our jurisdiction is up for

5:59

reelection, recognized who is an advocate for

6:01

free speech, open free decentralized financial systems

6:03

like Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, who

6:06

is against the creation and enforcement of

6:08

a CBDC or central bank digital currency,

6:11

and we need to support them, spread awareness about

6:13

them, and vote for them. Yes,

6:15

it may seem dumb, hopeless, and like

6:17

a waste of time getting involved with

6:19

politics because it's all corrupt and a

6:21

complete joke. However, in this new digital

6:24

age where we have access to the

6:26

internet and information that has otherwise been

6:28

deliberately hidden from us over the past

6:30

several decades, and with more independent journalism

6:32

gaining popularity, and increasing distrust of the

6:34

mainstream media, the government, banks, etc., we

6:36

may be in the midst of a

6:38

perfect storm that allows us to have

6:40

a serious impact on the future of

6:43

the world. So if you're in the

6:45

US, check out standwithcrypto.org using the correct

6:47

and official link below, and there we

6:49

can join the fight to try and

6:51

help navigate crypto's uncertain future in the

6:53

United States. At the top here, we

6:55

can click the politicians button and see

6:57

which political figures in the Senate and

6:59

the House of Representatives are pro versus

7:01

anti-crypto, and learn more about what statements

7:03

they've made on the matters. The website

7:06

also gives us simple, straightforward actions we

7:08

can take to call or email our

7:10

Congress person along with pre-written statements

7:12

that convey the importance of embracing crypto as

7:14

a country, how it creates jobs, tries innovation,

7:16

and how it needs to become a national

7:19

priority. It only takes about a minute, so

7:21

scroll down, check it out, and share it

7:23

with others so we can do our part

7:25

to try and create a favorable regulatory environment

7:28

for crypto so the US

7:30

isn't sidelined from the future financial

7:32

systems. Because it's not looking good

7:34

for the US, as the dollar continues to be

7:36

dropped by other countries around the world. This

7:38

week, an analyst predicts the US dollar

7:41

crash similar to the Roman Empire's end.

7:43

Leading financial analysts are warning that the

7:45

US supremacy has reached a tipping point,

7:47

and its dominance cannot move further up.

7:50

Bricks, Brazil, Russia, India, China, South

7:52

Africa, and other developing countries are racing

7:55

ahead as their economy becomes robust and

7:57

stronger. The GDP of Bricks Nations is

7:59

growing. tremendously in challenging the US

8:01

dollar at the global level. Financial analyst

8:04

and the author of the best-selling book,

8:06

Rich Dad Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki, compared

8:08

the US dollars into the Roman Empire.

8:10

He explained that the Roman Empire supremacy

8:13

ended after their bankers debased their currency

8:15

to pay soldiers, gladiators, and bills. Brix

8:17

is now looking to uproot the US

8:20

dominance and replace it with a new

8:22

world order. Sound familiar? Yes.

8:24

And also, as we've been discussing on the

8:27

channel, when all of those dollars currently circulating

8:29

around the world outside the US

8:31

start flooding back in, the increase

8:33

in the supply of money will

8:35

cause more inflation, possibly hyperinflation, from

8:37

the massive deterioration of purchasing power.

8:40

Bears for the US and its

8:42

citizens? Bullish for Bitcoin. And

8:44

people are waking up and starting to realize it.

8:46

Bitcoin breaks 52,000 as institutional

8:49

buying continues. It would appear that

8:51

Bitcoin has observed the most positive

8:53

returns during American trading hours over

8:55

the last few months, further

8:57

confirming the presence of exceptional

8:59

buying pressure from US-based entities.

9:01

Nice. Let's also keep

9:04

in mind that potentially, Bitcoin surged

9:06

to 52K, faces threats from two

9:08

major sell-off events. The first

9:10

event concerns the approval granted to

9:12

Genesis, a key player in the

9:14

cryptocurrency market, to sell a substantial

9:16

amount of grayscale Bitcoin trust, GBTC

9:18

shares. The sale involves 35 million

9:21

GBTC shares, valued at approximately

9:23

$1.3 billion. Adding

9:26

to the market's apprehensions, the US government

9:28

has filed a notice to sell a

9:30

portion of its Bitcoin holdings. On January

9:32

25, 2024, it was announced that 2,875 Bitcoin valued

9:37

at $156 million, seized

9:39

from the notorious Silk Road platform, would

9:42

be sold off. With the US government

9:44

holding approximately 208,000 Bitcoin, worth

9:47

around $10.9 billion, it

9:49

remains one of the largest Bitcoin holders globally.

9:51

So as we know with price action and

9:53

crypto, anything can happen. And it's

9:55

especially important to watch out for and take

9:57

advantage of any major dips during the year.

10:00

the bull market, no matter how scary

10:02

it is when the markets are red. And what's

10:04

funny is in the midst of all the pre-having

10:06

Bitcoin hype and price pumps, banks

10:08

are feeling the FOMO or fear

10:10

of missing out. Bad. Check it

10:13

out. US banking groups lobby SEC

10:15

for rule change to enter Bitcoin

10:17

ETF market. The US banking sector

10:19

is pushing to offer custodial services

10:21

for the newly launched Bitcoin ETFs.

10:23

The coalition urged the SEC to

10:26

reassess a regulation that made it

10:28

expensive for traditional banks to offer

10:30

crypto custody services. Current roles require

10:32

these financial institutions to classify cryptocurrencies

10:34

as liabilities on their balance sheets.

10:36

Therefore, the banks must allocate

10:38

assets equivalent to the crypto holdings,

10:41

to mitigate potential losses, and adhere

10:43

to the strict regulatory capital requirements.

10:45

And here's what they had the

10:48

nerve to say, fam. If regulated

10:50

banking organizations are effectively precluded from

10:52

providing digital assets, safeguarding services at

10:55

scale, investors and customers, and ultimately

10:57

the financial system will be worse

10:59

off with the market limited to

11:01

custody providers that do not afford

11:04

their customers the legal and supervisory

11:06

protections provided by federally regulated banking

11:09

organizations. So basically

11:11

the banks don't want to hold assets that

11:13

equal the amount of crypto they will hold

11:15

for people to offset risk. And they are

11:17

arguing that the financial system would be worse

11:19

off if they aren't allowed to hold crypto

11:21

without holding other assets to mitigate potential losses.

11:24

Brilliant. At the end of

11:26

the day, fam, we don't need banks to hold and

11:28

profit off of our crypto because it's easier than ever

11:31

to actually own and completely control it ourselves with a

11:33

cold storage hardware wallet. So right now I'm going to

11:35

show you how fast and easy it is to become

11:37

your own crypto custodian in less than 60 seconds

11:40

using Tangerm wallet. Opening the box here, we

11:42

have the three cards. Next,

11:44

installing the correct and official Tangerm mobile

11:46

app on our phones and opening the

11:48

app, tap scan card and touch one

11:50

of the cards to your phone like

11:53

so. Next, click create wallet and

11:55

tap the card to your phone again. Nice.

11:57

Now we have a wallet. Let's create backup.

12:00

of it. Tap Back Up Now and

12:02

then Add a Backup Card and tap the

12:04

second card to your phone. Cool. Now

12:06

tap Add a Backup Card again and tap the third

12:09

card to your phone. Then

12:11

tap Finalize the Backup Process and

12:13

now we need to create an access code to secure

12:16

the wallet. Tap Continue then

12:18

enter an access code. Re-enter it

12:21

to verify the access code and

12:23

then scan the primary card ending in the

12:25

corresponding numbers on the screen that matches that

12:27

card holding it up to your phone until

12:29

the operation is complete. Then repeat

12:31

this process for the two backup cards. That's it.

12:33

It's configured and ready to use. And if you
