Hey there Crypto Takeover fam! We've got some interesting news updates today with the continuation of the Tornado Cash crackdown and a new company now helping DeFi projects stay abreast of new regulations. We'll touch on some NFTs and a newly discovered IP rights issue with some of the top projects. If you think you own the IP rights to your NFT, you might want to think again. We've also got a little bit of an update with XRP (and another one of Mike's crazy thoughts...). Brad's got a great market update for us after the tank from the weekend along with some great thought processes of how to stay afloat and on top of your emotions through the bear market. Let's not let our emotions get the best of us when we're checking our portfolios during these tougher market times. Brad has some tips for staying ahead of the game and we chat about a strategy that can help both your short-term cash reserves and long term hodl plays.  Join in the conversation and let's talk crypto!

If you don't want the surprise spoiled... don't read any further. If you don't like surprises, well, you're just weird. Totally kidding... kind of. Read on if you hate surprise parties... We left you with a cliffhanger on the last episode, so here's the continuation. Don't worry, we won't leave you hanging any more. So, while mowing his lawn Mike had this epiphany... What if the U.S. government created bitcoin? Did the government create crypto? Did the government create Ethereum? Not too far-fetched once you start thinking about it. And apparently, he's not the only one who's thought about this. I mean, why do we still not know who the heck created Bitcoin? How is it possible this is still a mystery? There can only be one reason... the government created Bitcoin. It's easy, right? Nah, not so simple. Mike and Brad have an awesome discussion about this crazy theory in today's episode. If you're just as crazy as they are and have your own thoughts about the government's involvement in crypto, we'd love to hear your thoughts in our public Telegram! Find the link below and come share what you have to say.  But without further ado, join in the conversation and let's talk crypto!

Oh boy... do we have an episode for you today?! While mowing his lawn, Mike came up with this crazy theory about crypto, Bitcoin and Ethereum. Yes... while mowing his lawn, he still does that... no one else does. Just him, and his thoughts, and his mower, and sometimes a beer. Anyways... you'll definitely want to hear this one. He thinks it's a stroke of genius; verdict is still out. We've also got a brand-new market update as Bitcoin and Ethereum are back on the rise and they're bringing some friends. Inflation has seen a slight leveling off and the DXY has been ticking down. This usually bodes well for the crypto markets, so you definitely want to be paying attention. Is this the end of the bear market? Is this just a bear market rally? How do we tell? What are the signs? We'll talk about all this and more in today's Crypto Takeover Podcast!

We've got a plethora of tools to utilize for deeper analysis, uncovering that hidden crypto gem, staying on top of all the best news, and staying in touch with decentralized finance as a whole. These are tools every crypto investor should have in their tool belt. Oh, and can't forget about some really interesting news that a lot of crypto enthusiasts have been waiting for. A very large deal has happened between Blackrock (the largest institutional investment management firm in the world) and Coinbase (one of the largest centralized exchanges in the world); you'll definitely want to read up on this one. Solana got hacked, or did it? And a really cool bill proposing for transactions of under $50 to not be taxed in the U.S.  All this jam packed into 30 minutes. And did I mention you can catch a glimpse of two of Brad's cute kiddos? That's worth the price of admission alone. Oh wait, it's FREE! Join in the conversation and let's talk crypto!

Today we're talking trading plans and why they are so darn important! You can lose money very fast in crypto due to its volatility, but with the right trading plan and proper execution you can be the exception. Today Brad will be teaching how to create a trading plan and stick to it. Brad has been trading crypto, stocks, commodities, and forex for a very long time, and he's learned lessons the hard way as well as made plenty of money by making a plan and seeing it through. In these markets, emotions can very easily get the best of us. It's extremely important to check those emotions at the door, know when you want to get in, and even more importantly, when you want to get out. You could be riding high on a project you think is going to the moon, and when you hit your target you think "Ah, this got here so fast, I think it go even higher." That's when the project takes a wrong turn, and POOF, you've just blown your trade and missed your opportunity to get out when you said you would. We've got some tips and tricks to stay true to yourself, keep your emotions out of the game, and have fun while doing it. This might be one of the most important tools in your toolbelt when it comes to trading. It might seem simple, but without proper execution, your account can go up in smoke along with your pride. We're here to help mitigate that and hopefully help you avoid making the same mistakes so many newer traders do. Join in the conversation and let's talk crypto!

Security! This is often yelled in jest with friends and family when someone stole a food item off your plate or took something from you in hopes you'd laugh about it.

What utility does it provide? What's the white paper tell about the project? This is all valuable information you'll want to research about a project before you determine whether it's a wise investment for what you're looking to accomplish.

The crypto bear market is settling in and making its home this year, but now is more important than ever to study, plug in and learn how to take advantage of the incredible opportunity being given to you on a silver platter. While financial markets are down is one of the best times to learn, because great opportunity is just around the corner. Many believe gone are the days of astronomical returns in crypto as regulation is on the horizon and larger institutional investors get off the sidelines.  In this episode we'll talk about the current bear market and what we think it will take to get out of it. Even though a bear market can be boring on the charts, crypto adoption isn't slowing down and companies are forging ahead. It does look like gloom and doom for some, but those that are positioned well will rise above and we'll be talking about them for years to come.  Crypto has never been more interesting and there is no better time than the present to learn how to take advantage of this technology and the larger financial markets. Over the coming weeks we're putting together a bootcamp about how we look at new projects, how to read the charts, how to get into trading and how to capitalize and make money during a bear market. You won't want to miss the next few weeks as we drop some extremely valuable information! Join in the conversation and let's talk crypto!

What do investments look like during a shifting economy? Should I still be investing as the market changes, or should I wait? How big of a hit is crypto going to take? What does the future of crypto look like? We'll be touching on all these questions during today's episode. Some are saying we're approaching the bottom, while others are calling for more carnage. No one has a crystal ball, but there are methods to survive and still make money during these times. We'll walkthrough a few of those options in today's episode, as well. The global economy is going through changes, and crypto is not immune. Even though it's built to hedge inflation, there's still so much to accomplish from this technology's standpoint. Are projects giving up? No. Are investors throwing in the towel on crypto? Definitely not. Is Bitcoin a scam? Nope, it's most certainly here to stay. The goal of blockchain and cryptocurrency has not changed, only it's price. And that's largely due to the current economic conditions. Stay the course, take this time to learn, find yourself some mentors and all will be OK. Join in the conversation and let's talk crypto!

In today's episode we talk about how to survive a recession, why your money shouldn't be left on an exchange, and what about JPMorgan wanting to bring trillions of dollars to DeFi? We've got a jam-packed episode for you. We're diving into the current markets, but we'll also be giving some valuable tools to recognize how long a recession can last and some valuable tips on preparing for and surviving through a recession. The elites are trying to figure out what they want or need to do to "save the dollar" and we're simply trying to survive and prep for the next turnaround. What do things look like from a macro perspective and what do we do in the short term? So many great questions these days and a lot of them are currently unanswered. We're playing the waiting game while the markets decide what they're going to do, but these are the times when vast amounts of wealth can be created. We're seeing levels of inflation we haven't seen in 40 years. Gas prices are at ATHs for our generation. Grocery prices are rising drastically. We're wondering when Real Estate is going to turn around to the downside. This all sounds grim, but what if you were properly prepared for this and what if you could even take advantage of this type of market? You'd be able to create generational wealth, that's what!

U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis is introducing a bill that will attempt to "fully integrate digital assets into [the] financial system". Regulation is a necessary evil in the crypto space. While it seemingly goes against what crypto stands for, the space cannot grow where we need it to without it. In this episode we talk about what this could mean for cryptocurrency and Web3. Crypto Winter, as they call it, seems to be settling in with now 9 weeks of bearish candles. What is crypto winter, how do we prepare for it and how can we still profit while we're in it? We'll answer these questions and more. While we're not big followers of pop culture, Johnny Depp and his court has seemingly been the talk of the town. But did you know he also has an NFT project? Many celebrities who are supportive of cryptocurrency and Web3 are starting to release NFT projects to either gain awareness for a specific cause or aid in launching a new product. NFTs are becoming the new way to raise capital and support causes by giving the general public an opportunity to invest in and grab a piece of history while they're at it. Let's see what Johnny Depp is up to. Grab your favorite note taking device (or open up that Evernote) and let's talk crypto! Join in the conversation and let's talk crypto!

Bitcoin is going to ZERO!! What do I do?? Totally kidding... Stay calm, collect yourself, and remember why you're here. Crypto is not going to zero and don't let anyone fool you. Today we've got our crypto market update and crypto news for the week. We cover Bitcoin prices, alt coin prices, market sentiment and crypto news amidst the current market conditions. Crypto critics LOVE this time in the market cycle because they get to tell you why they believe crypto isn't changing the world. Don't let them fool you! They simply don't holistic knowledge of the space, or (more likely) they have a lot to lose when crypto does takeover and completely revolutionize our financial sector. Crypto continues to be adopted at an incredible rate; we've got the charts to prove it. More and more countries are creating regulation around it (Google crypto meeting in El Salvador), and more and more mainstream companies and investors are seeing its worth and making sure they're properly positioned for the future. When we're in a bear market (and it's not just crypto), you have to remember to zoom out and recall what the projects you're invested in are doing for our world. Whether it's global payment system revamping, transaction fee reduction, network speed, store of value, gaming, the metaverse, data encryption, and so much more, you have to remember why blockchain technology is revolutionizing our world as we know it today. We're still so very early! Markets go up, and they go down. It's natural; it's certainly not the end. Join in the conversation and let's talk crypto!

In this episode of the Crypto Takeover Podcast we go deeper into the Psychology of a Market Cycle, also known as the Emotional Market Cycle. Knowing where a market is at in a market cycle is incredibly important when deciding when would be a good time to invest in a project, company or coin.

Understanding the rise and falls of a market is an extremely valuable tool to have in your toolbelt! So, grab your favorite note taking device, put your listening ears on, and let's talk crypto!

It's very easy to let our emotions get the best of us in any market, and crypto is no different. That's why it's so important to try to understand what part of the Emotional Market Cycle we're in, and not make emotional decisions when investing. In this episode we talk about the psychology of a market cycle and show you the Wall Street Cheat Sheet also known as the Emotional Market Cycle. We give you the rundown on the fall of Terra LUNA and what people are saying happened with the depegging of UST stablecoin. We dive into bitcoin halving, the four year cycle and how that affects the crypto market as a whole. We also give you some tips that experienced investors use to help keep their emotions in check and tools they use to make educating and rational decisions when making moves in the market, including a brief intro of Fibonacci levels. Lots of gold nuggets in this episode! So, grab a notepad or your favorite note-taking app, put on your listening ears, and let's talk crypto!

What is crypto? What is the blockchain? What's a smart contract? What's an NFT? Why does any of this matter to me? These are all questions we address in this episode of the Crypto Takeover Podcast. These days technology is adopted at a breakneck speed and blockchain is taking the stage by storm. Ever wished you could pull up the entire history of an item or something you're purchasing prior to paying for it? Blockchain solves this. Ever wished you could cut out the "middle man" in a transaction you're completing without the worry of "am I getting scammed?" Blockchain solves this. Blockchain technology creates a trustless environment where multiple parties can transact, data and content can be verified, and the transaction can be stored chronogically without the ability of ever being altered, and the transaction is 100% open source public information. Sounds like something every industry could benefit from, right? This is why blockchain, smart contracts and NFTs are so important. And this is why we're going to break them down for you and give you some real life use cases any of us can apply. Put on your listening ears, and let's talk crypto!

Why on Earth would you invest in crypto? What is the blockchain? What is a smart contract? How does crypto affect me? Why are people talking about crypto? Why are there Super Bowl commercials about crypto? We asked ourselves these very questions before we knew what we know now (except for that last one, that's new, lol).  In this episode we break down some of the basics about the actual technology behind crypto. For the first time in history, the common man/woman can invest during the creation stages of a technology not after the IPO, or the product launch, but before and as it's being built. And you don't have to be a billionaire or sit in the cushy seats on Shark Tank! Listen in as we give you a little bit more detail about blockchain, smart contracts and how we believe this new technology will affect every single industry in the world.  Please leave us a rating and review so we can reach more who are looking for this crypto education!
