hey welcome back everybody to a rare saturday video yeah i uh got finished doing a bunch of stuff it was really hot here today it's starting to cool down now um we're that time of year where you know it gets chilly at night but we've got the next few days they're still gonna be nice and then we're dropping down in terms of temps. So I'm sure you guys are depending on where you are at. I wanted to say a few things. I want to talk about how much, you know, if you, a lot of people are in a retirement crunch, like a lot of people do not have much money at all save for retirement and it's gonna cause a lot of problems for them trying to live off social security which is not very much given the fact that we have massive inflation with food energy costs fuel all that kind of stuff this country i i think you know in 20 40 years man we could be in a pretty tough spot we really could but i just want to talk about you know what your roth ira could do because this is a tax-free example uh and just extrapolate to attack taxable account to like you know, what your money could do invested in Grayscale if you leave it to ride. Now with a Roth, like you have to leave it to ride until you're age 59 and a half, right?
In a taxable brokerage account, you don't have to, but if you leave a portion of it to ride and just grow over time, you know, it can do amazing wonders. You know, I just want to give an example of what this could do in a very, very short period of time. Okay, so let's say you have $1,000 in your Roth IRA in Grayscale right now. now or in your son or daughter's custodial Roth IRA because I've talked about that before. If you can get them set up with the one, the prices on the trust are still good.
You know, we don't have much time before launch, but they're still good right now. So if you've got money in a custodial Roth IRA or you can get one open pronto for your kids and fund it with a grand or two grand or whatever, you might want to do it. So just check this out.
Okay, so let's say we've got $1,000 in a Roth IRA account, right? Yours or your kids. kids.
And in this cycle, you're able to do a 20 X, which I think is very conservative. Let's just say 20, right? So that your $1,000 goes up to 20 grand. Well, then you roll it into something like high yield dividend ETFs for the next year and a half or so after you cash out and increase it to about 30 grand, right? You dump it back into grayscale in the bottom of the bear market where the prices are the best.
I mean, you know, like BCHG was less than a buck in the the depths of the bear market so you dump it in there you got 30 grand that you dump in you should be able to do probably next cycle if if they don't convert to an etf bchg is probably the least likely to convert to an etf i think ltcn might you know because i i think we could see a liquid etf but i think a bitcoin cash etf is still a ways away but bchg let's say you know you got 30 grand in there you should be able to do i think a 20x like if you're buying at the bottom of the bear market be able to do 20x well you got 30 grand in there that's six hundred thousand dollars right that's at the end of next cycle so it's like a little over four years from now when you're cashing you got 600 grand and then for the next year and a half or so you put it into um you know high yield dividend etfs or other assets that grow you know and and you get like a 50 growth over the course of about a year and a half um if you can do that well you're closing in on a million getting nine hundred thousand you know that's like right there it's like i mean it only from from from here where we sit to that point is only about a six-year time frame to go from a one thousand dollar investment to a nine hundred thousand dollar investment that can do wonders in your personal roth in your kids roth it's just a total game changer most people like i said do not have much money i there are a bunch of different numbers out there you have you You've probably seen them, probably heard about them. I've even talked about them in the past a little bit. They're really low, alarmingly low.
And there are a lot of reasons for it. You know, people don't have a lot of disposable income because they're not making enough or they're spending money on stupid shit or they don't know about investment or whatever. And that's just the way it is.
It's like, I've got a friend who's got a Roth. It's got like three grand in it. Well, she put two grand in it like 12 years ago or more. And it's...
grown from two grand to three grand. It's not, no, you're not going to get anywhere doing that. Whatever the, whatever was invested in, it's not, not good. But anyway, so that's, that's an example of basically going from a thousand dollar investment to basically a million or close to it inside of six years. Not bad.
And it's like, if you're doing this on behalf of your kid, like with the custodial Roth, man, they're, they're going to be set. And the nice thing about a custodial Roth is that your kids can't spend it. They can't do stupid shit with their money when they're young because they can't touch it until they're 59 and a half.
If they touch it before, they have massive penalties. They're pretty substantial. So it's like, you know, you've got a pretty good guarantee that they're going to be wiser with how they spend the money.
Now, I've also talked about UTMA accounts. for kids which are also great they're taxable accounts you can set them up right away when your kid is born and you can contribute up to i think it's seventeen thousand dollars as a gift tax limit per year this year this calendar year you can contribute up to that uh you know to get around the gift tax stuff but i think you can contribute more than that too just the gift tax stuff applies to that so check with the cpa if you want to donate more or contribute more but anyway Still, it can do great things, but UTMA accounts are taxable. So Uncle Sam is going to get their cut, and it's probably just going to keep getting bigger over time because we just keep printing money. We just keep getting in debt. It's just like that's just the way our economy, our government, our politicians, that's how they play.
That's how things are going, and it's just going to get tougher. But money is very important, and I think a lot of people are going to be screwed. Listen, this is the conspiracy side of me.
All this climate change bullshit, I think is bullshit. Like, they want EVs for everything, they want to get rid of internal combustion vehicles and all that kind of stuff, and change a bunch of things in the name of making the air cleaner, making it easier to breathe, all that stuff. And what it's going to do, it's going to increase the price of everything, of food, of fuel, of vehicles, of everything. Life is going to get much more difficult for people who have limited means, who do not have a lot of money. And that's like, that's our kids when they're getting started.
I think our kids, if you've got kids, depending on their age, man, by the time they get out, things could be, the cost could be astronomical for things. Astronomical. So it's like, you know, we think today that a million dollars is a lot of money. We think, most people think that. I look at it and I go, well, yeah, it's a lot of money, but you know, it's, you factor in inflation, like true inflation, a lot of different things of education, food, energy, all that kind of stuff.
A million dollars doesn't go that, that far. If someone doesn't know how to invest that money, if they just end up with a million dollars in a savings account, they're going to blow through that. inside of a decade, probably, pretty easily, you know, and that, you know, it doesn't last that long. People don't realize that, because when they have that money, they're like, oh, I'm going to go get a new car, oh, I'm going to buy a new house, and then they're like, they don't have any cash.
So they don't understand how to invest. But the more money that you have for yourself, for your kids, the better. And this is such a great way to set your kids up.
Like I said, the custodial Roth is great because it ensures that they've got a solid squared away retirement. They can't touch it, like I said, until they're 59 and a half. You're probably going to be dead and gone a long time before that.
I know I will be. Because I'm not making it to 100 plus. not doing that no um but the utma accounts are also useful too because you can use uh even though they're taxable your kids get them uh when they're an adult the age at which they get them varies a little bit by state in my state uh my son will get his utma bylaws required that he gets a transfer to him by the age of 21 so he's not going to get it before then but but before i give it to him or transfer it to him not really give it to him transfer it to him I can still withdraw money from there on his behalf to pay for school or other expenses and stuff like that and teach him about money skills and all that kind of stuff. So something to think about. But in the example I gave, it just shows you how easy it is to grow your money to massive levels very easily.
And I gave Grayscale as an example because just the returns you get are crazy. But you can even get really good returns. Like I think, like even get like this.
cycle even got a bunch of gnats out here um this cycle even if you had gotten into microstrategy for example at the bottom of the bear market and based on where cesar and others think it's going to go you could probably get a 20x out of a microstrategy investment which is pretty cool which is really cool i mean that's like up off a normal stock crypto related but it's not really crypto very good i think coinbase is going to do really well um those two those two are going to do well obviously the bitcoin miners a lot of them did very well last cycle i expect they'll do well this cycle so you can go into a variety of things you don't need to just go into grayscale to get some really good returns so so keep your options open um think about that for the future i want you guys to have as much money as you could possibly have because you're gonna need it i think in this world i think especially as things change because what happens And this is kind of folding into like a political rant a little bit. But these psychopaths in power, they talk a good game. They make it sound like they want to save the environment. They want cleaner air.
They want justice for all. They want to help the homeless. They want all these things. And all these things sound good.
But then the way they go about actually implementing their ideas are absolutely horrible. Most of them. them and uh most of them just result in higher taxes and inflation and a bunch of other things that hurt us in a negative manner well all negative things hurt us but uh yeah so this is like in money i i really do think that is part of this nefarious plan this is the conspiracy side of me where it's like the plan is to like have all these big companies like blackrock with tons of money come in and buy not Not only the homes, but by like the ranchers and the farmers out. And we're going to be, if that happens, we're going to be in a really tough spot. Food is going to skyrocket.
You know, people will be forced to basically move to bigger towns or cities, which is what they want, I think. Because we're more easily controlled when we're not in the country. People in the country and rural areas generally are less prone to being controlled by the government.
There's a lot more people in the country. more freedom out in the country anybody who's lived in a rural area knows that but uh i would say like at some point in your investing journey whether it's after this grayscale run or the next or whatever is that you acquire a place out in the country land a cabin a farm something someplace like as a backup strategy this is like a place you might want to go to if things get rough with civil unrest because we might not have civil unrest now. We might have it bad in four years or eight years.
And you do not want to wait until the last minute to actually try to pack your bags because you can't do it. It's better to have an option where you're like, you know what, honey, it looks like the cities are starting to burn. Let's go to the cabin. Let's go to the farm.
Let's go to wherever. So maybe have a place to get to that's out and about. All right, I've talked about it.
about a couple things i'm gonna end it here hope you guys are doing well i don't know when we're gonna launch exactly nobody does but it should be i would think october you know and uh you know maybe we should have a contest on discord or youtube comments like what week of october do you guys think uh the launch is gonna happen for the trust ltc on a bche so we'll see i don't know i'm kind of i'm really paying attention now to what's happening obviously as i've said the big drivers of the kickoff for these things are the broader economy and what's happening with bitcoin so we're gonna see over the coming days and weeks how that plays out but it should be pretty soon i would think where the show gets on the road and uh then crypto season begins for all of us so it's super exciting it feels like forever man it feels actually it feels surreal if i'm honest that we're here that we're here at the doorstep because i've waited so fucking long i mean many of you have uh like i was in the last grayscale run i didn't sell all my shares so i held them which i shouldn't have i should have sold them because it kept sinking till the bottom the bear market lesson learned do not leave shares unsold like that's my lesson that i learned and uh but it's like four years man it's been a long time and so it feels surreal to be here right at the cusp of the beginning of the altcoin season you know we're right we're right at the doorstep of this thing man we're very close i don't know exactly when nobody does but uh we're really close uh so it's it's exciting and then once we get going we got several months of good times ahead of us that will benefit all of us and you guys are gonna kind of weigh ahead of so many other investors because as i've said nothing nothing that i know performs better, gives you a better return than Grayscale. It just, I don't know of anything out there that does this. I mean, I don't.
I wish there were something that was non-correlated or uncorrelated to the crypto cycle. because then I could get into it during the bear market. But I don't know of anything. You know, occasionally, occasionally, you get a stock like Nvidia that does really well, but you don't know what that cycle looks like. You don't know how long it's going to last, when it's going to come along.
You're just kind of, you know, you're taking a bet like what stocks are going to pop off. And that's what, you know, growth investors do generally. They're making an educated guess is what they're going to do. But we.
We, as crypto investors, essentially, with Grayscale, we know that that super cycle comes every four years or so. And that it can be relied upon. And so we're really lucky.
I don't know why more people haven't picked up on this. I would think that Grayscale products would be extremely popular. Like, extremely popular. I don't know why they're not. I don't know if people just don't know about them.
Or what. Right. it's like this little secret that very few people know about but it just it seems weird now we have a lot more people this cycle talking about grayscale we got me we got cesar investing for freedom senior scientists a couple other people um a couple other channels but last cycle man nobody was talking about it i didn't see i think maybe there was one video that came out where somebody had a video they're like i can't believe the premium premiums on LTCN.
This is crazy. This is going to end in tears. You know, that was the, that was it.
I didn't see anything else out there. There was no discord community. Uh, I didn't, I just happened to stumble upon the Grayscale Trust, got into them hoping that they would have a good return.
And they did. Um, but I didn't know what to expect. You know, there was nothing out there and it was the first run for the Grayscale Trust.
So LTCN and BCHG. but now we've got some history so we're gonna we're gonna find out what it does this cycle the predictions that caesar has given in the past man some of these predictions are crazy awesome so let's hope we hit them who knows what we're actually gonna do but uh i'm hoping for the best i know you guys are too so all right that's it 17 minutes of cutting it off i hope you guys are having a nice saturday you guys take care bye
