    2024 is going to have some bold bold price actions for crypto and we got the boldest predictions from AI predictions that are so bold you’re going to feel like you took a bath in A1 going to be dripping it’s time to to go around the Blockchain it’s all bold 2024 predictions we’re going to have a little bit of a unique episode because this the first episode of the year so we’re not going to go over oh here’s three news stories over the weekend let’s look forward let’s face the future and I’m

    Going to face the future with Matt Snider and Doug hype Matt how are you doing today I see a little bit of is that Christmas cheer in your background uh if by Christmas cheer you mean golf clubs because it’s a little too cold to go play out right now and I

    Have to keep them tucked away in a nice warm environment then yeah it’s Christmas tree you know I’m so blind it it just looked like shiny ornaments to me but you know what hey I got Boomer eyes everybody uh but you know what his eyes they see a future so bright he has

    To wear shades it is Doug hype Doug how are you doing today baby I haven’t seen you guys in a while to come back and just see how you doing that beautiful face Dy Matthew it’s great to meet you um I’ve been exploring the world of web 3 just going

    In so deep you don’t even know and now to let you know all things happening in the deepest darkest recesses of especially web 3 gaming D you know because that’s my style he goes in so D you almost have to change your jacket afterwards now Doug did you happen to

    Catch the Tim Dillan Joe Rogan episode where they talk about fur coats no I did not and why is not on my radar I need to see it’s only like a week or two old uh I think it’s in the beginning portion of the episode if you

    Want to watch it but they they have a large section on fur coats the type of person to wear fur coat just the whole there a whole fur coat story in there and when I was listening to it I’m not going to lie I was thinking about Doug

    The whole time that’s my usual day but let’s talk about the Bold predictions everybody and this is from one of our favorite crypto Publications actually crypto uh I’m sorry coin Telegraph some people like to you know point point out some of their flaws but you know they’ve done some pretty hard-hitting reporting

    Them and coindesk but they have some AI predictions for 2024 and we’re using Google bard in this particular case and the first thing that they’re looking at is bitcoin’s price for 2024 we got some AI predictions we’re going to do the human predictions and chat I’m reading

    Your uh messages right here I want to look at your predictions as well and crypto dicks with the first message uh of the new year happy New Year here but now we have just this article we have Bard predicting the high now this is on the high end

    $120,000 Bitcoin giving us a range of roughly 50 to 120k now I’m going to start with you Matt now I don’t think we go in that high I think you know we’re going to have you know maybe flirt with all-time highs in November December 60s 7s

    Potentially even 80s for 2024 120 is a little high for me is 120 high for you what is your prediction for 2024 how high can Bitcoin go well I think it’s amazing that we’re using AI to sort of give us a question about what that range might be uh I

    Think a range between 50 and 120,000 is about as useless as saying between a dollar and a million dollars that’s a pretty wide range uh for me personally I’m going to be settling between 80 and $100,000 I would love to see it Peak over six digits but I think that that’s

    Going to be a huge huge mental barrier for people to break uh and I don’t know that the Market’s going to be ready for it I’d like to see a little bit of consolidation over alltime highs uh and we’ll see where things go but definitely heading in the right direction and love

    To see the the traction I I love how you phrased that mental barrier Doug what what are your thoughts on that six-figure mental barrier always say anytime there’s a zero involved there’s just a lot of selling pressure if a coin hits $1 typically expect pressure $1,000

    10 whatever the zero is so now we have Bitcoin potentially reaching 100K what do you think is going to happen happen can it burst through that with any kind of confidence what’s your prediction that’s right we need a huge amount of adoption Dy and it’s not just

    Adoption from like you know your buddy Joe down the street who lost like 30 grain in Bitcoin or you know Salon over the last two years and they’ve been kind of out of the loop they’re coming back in now they’re interested they’re asking questions pack the guy that just

    Installed my internet in my new awesome apartment uh he lost like 300K in in the Mar in in crypto now he’s back he’s like ready for more he wants to jump in things are vibing right but we have a thing called Web 3 gaming sir and let me

    Tell you about web3 gaming okay this hat uh it’s a shrapnel hat web3 gaming is GNA blow up and people that are playing fortnite on Twitch all over the world are all of a sudden going to be owning nfts they’re going to be hanging around crypto and there’s going to be huge

    Influx my thing is like industry and actual Builders are going to push us over the top we’re going to get up into that like probably 80 to 120k realm because of the people building infrastructure you know we know tons of corporations are not using blockchain now as their backbone or part of their

    Infrastructure it’s eventually just going to happen and once the general public gets over the crest of that wave and they’re riding on that surfboard and they go like whoa bro like crypto is the future and look at how it what’s happening all of a sudden your grandma

    At next Thanksgiving de is going to asking you what what coins should she invest in you know what I’m saying this Thanksgiving was like hey you’re in crypto right tell me more about that I heard that from so many people people are kind of like interested they’re like

    Yeah tell me bro what’s going on with that crypto next Thanksgiving is gonna be Grandma’s gonna be like hey can I get $20 on that Solana bro so my prediction yeah we’re GNA be around like 80 to 120 is good but I’ve had a lot of people

    Predict like if that happens we’re going to get up into like the 200k territory right if we reach that breaking point where your grandma is like let me throw my retirement fund in the old solar avax bro all right and uh we we do like the avalan

    System uh there’s a AFC I like as Avalanche gaming token I don’t know if you looked at that one but uh we have flat smack coming in 99,900 right under 100K I’ll go ahead and say a a number I’m going say 72k December 31st Matt Doug I mean are

    You saying a specific number instead of a range I would say like 85 88 85 and 69 which is just the previous alltime High nothing weird anybody all right and uh also B I’m sorry a chat GPT also came in with 120 for the high side all right let’s go to bold crypto

    Prediction number two ETFs in January yay or nay and you know a lot of people are saying q1 for sure but there’s January on one camp then there’s March in the other Camp I want to March all the way into a January ETF God candle everybody personally and so we have uh

    The AI is expecting trillions of dollars to come in with the spot ETF uh approval so they’re saying yes we are going to see a a potential approval given especially Black Rock odds for 575 to1 when it comes to ETF approval rate though you know a lot of people are

    Saying well if you look at that number January 10th is a very very plausible date for the Bitcoin ETF now I’m going to go ahead and be agreeance here I’m going to say January 10th we’re getting the ETFs of course I don’t have any inside information I haven’t called

    Larry thinkink I don’t know his nephew uh the one with the problems but what about you Matt what about you Doug Matt I’m gonna go to you first will we get an approval the second week of January what are your thoughts here as a result of the deadline being

    January 10th my belief is that we’re going to definitely get at least one ETF uh this by by the 10th of January I’m going to take the unpopular opinion that not all of them and most of them are going to be rejected uh and that just comes from the the necessary fact that

    There there’s going to be some winner in this game and I think that black rock is going to be that winner I think there may be one or two others that get that get selected but I think there’s going to be some refiling and I think other

    People are going to have to be part of this and I want to Echo what doug was saying about adoption and I think that adoption comes from gaming certainly but I think a lot of those people who play games are still retail investors and we have to remember that institutional

    Wealth trillions and trillions of dollars and and residential or registered investment advisers who have the ability to now put an ETF in Grandma’s 401K that’s where a lot of the infrastructure is going to come from a lot of the adoption is going to come from I think that the web3 gaming piece

    Is a great onboarding experience and I think most of the people are going to be in that space But still at a retail level I think it’s going to pale in comparison to the adoption that takes place when large institutions are getting asked by customers uh to to have

    Retail or to have you know their allocations put from an ETF perspective so I think that’s where we’re going to see a lot of this money coming in um and I think that you’re going to have some sad faces come January 10th when a few

    Of these I have an analogy and it’s it’s a bad one in typical Dey fashion it’s tnm and square I I I can’t help but think of retail like T and square dissidents you know it’s like there’s a lot more of us but one tank AKA one

    Black rock equals a whole lot of Gamers when it comes to you know money pouring into an ecosystem it’s going to take a whole lot of fortnite teenagers to equal one Larry think everybody now Doug hype we do have a message from koev I would

    Hire Doug as my hype guy I want to ask are you feeling hype for the ETF approval in January what are your thoughts and I want to know let’s say we get an approval whenever your timeline is what happens to the markets then oh you got muted it was uh gamergate 2.0 oh

    Still is that happening to you guys yeah no check it out Doug gamergate did he get shut out by the man H yeah yeah the man shut me oh there you go you know what it was leaking that Rockstar footage I knew you shouldn’t have done it dude I was actually using

    My Amazon Fire stick to try to log in today um so I remember when all these ETF news hit and I was seeing it at the airports you still do people with expendable money they’re going after them they’re trying to sucker them in and be like buy these ETFs I know you

    Got money laying around I know you know what crypto is but you’re kind of scared about it but it’s exciting the people that are just willing to throw down yes and those are the people that are kind of probably going to cause the Avalanche that really pushes us over the edge in

    Crypto but the thing is you need green flages too you need green flages like web3 gaming and other things doing well so that more people have that confidence and all the YouTubers and everyone says go into it it’s great you know whatever this doing well and then boom all of a

    Sudden everyone all your neighbors are going in right the ETFs I think are going to be all over the place I think I agree with Matt there’ll be like a couple that get approved right away I feel like it’s not just legal things that are involved here the government

    And everybody is just like trying everyone’s trying to position it’s just like the idea of selling the news what are they actually doing how are they do they even want to be approved right away do they want to let someone else go first and see what happens do they want

    To manipulate the market the more we think we know what going to happen the more it’s not going to happen right but the things that we can do is what we can control in web 3 and grow it and put the green flages up to want them to do it

    More and more and more bring us more attention so that’s what I’m focused on and um you know the war and buffets of the world it could just take one person to jump in and just start throwing in cash but you know when we had that run

    Two years ago and we had like $40 trillion dollars come in it wasn’t just one person it was large amounts of people with money coming in you know people probably on your block right now down the street probably put 20K into some coin you know what I’m saying and

    Then they jumped out so we need we do need the big masses of people to come back in but we need green flags we need things to show up to be like hey look this is doing well and this is why this is doing well it’s an actual game it’s

    An actual project it’s an actual infrastructure oh by the way Walmart and all these top companies use this blockchain now so that integration where web two and web 3 merge and it’s not scary anymore it’s going to take some steps to get there and then the Avalanche is going to happen and you’re

    Just anybody that owns crypto is G I mean we saw a mini tiny version of that just right now with Solana ax some of the games big time where all of a sudden you’re like on a very small scale you’re like holy crap this is amazing the so

    Solop phone I tried to get one it literally sold out one minute before I hit the button they tweeted saying like sorry we’re sold out and I was like bro I need that solop Pham bro because it’s groundbreaking cool I want all the the coin drops and everything but also I

    Just want to have a salop phone so I when I talk to my buddies I’m like hey check this out this is a crypto phone and I can show it to them right so that’s where we live in now Dey right now the green flakes are popping up all

    Over the place cell phones gaming infrastructure the Avalanche is happening it’s just a question of when it happens deasy is it going to be mid 2024 is there going to be some waves in between I don’t know but it’s going up this way Dy slow steady it’s like Point Break baby at the

    End of the movie They Ride the big wave you know yes yes shout out to Bod Brody bod B Brody Brody Brody is it Brody or re and crypto is what we saying all right uh I am an FBI agent it’s some his worst acting I love keu they they could have done

    Another take for that shot all right let’s move on we we love Point Brank and I I won’t take any uh s uh any any swayy fud on this timeline everybody roadh housee that’s all I got to say pain don’t hurt all right well let’s look at some more bold predictions

    I could talk about Roadhouse all day for the rest of episode but no we’re not going to do that all right so these are five upcoming trends that they’re pointing out you know we’re going to see dpin get a little bit more popular this is uh decentralized private identifiers

    Reaking data availability layers this is not going to be one of the popular ones real world ass sets and AI these two and the dpin I think could potentially be one of the hype Cycles Matt is there a hype cycle on your radar you’ve been

    Thinking about is it one of these uh is it real world assets I mean what’s one of 2024’s hype Cycles going to be in your opinion well I’m not really want to talk about Ponzi schemes but the biggest Ponzi scheme on that list sure sounds like what was it ret tokenization or

    Reaking yeah reaking restak sounds like the most ridiculous one thing to lose custody of my coins but the people I give my coins to I don’t want them to have custody either absolutely ridiculous uh I think it’s and we’ve seen some of this with the AI tokens uh which I think are also

    Pretty Superfluous like I can’t really imagine a use case or why they would be of any importance but as we’ve as as we’ve been seeing from a theme perspective real world asset tokenization is going to be a huge way that organizations infrastructure and different mechanisms are put into the

    Ecosystem to allow for more option the the notion that you can tokenize anything from a car to a painting to a house there’s already mortgages uh on the blockchain these things are going to really help us bring in this new sort of digital economy and make it possible for

    Other people to get fractional ownership where they weren’t necessarily having the ability before I live in dream of a world where people could be renters uh but actually are paying rent to some sort of custodial account where they now have the ability to pull that equity in

    In form of a down payment uh for a house that they want to earn and in the future and that kind of technology is possible with tokenization and those kinds of outcomes are possible with tokenization of real world assets so I think that’s going to be a really really big driver

    For a lot of different organizations uh and industries trying to figure out how this uh this technology can work I I love that idea and especially in today’s age of you know Rising rent costs uh interest rates going up and Home Ownership is you know out of people’s

    Reach more and more and so you know that’s why one of the reasons I turned to crypto Now Matt you’ve been around the blockchain I want to ask you spefic specifically when it comes to real world assets what’s your play you know for me it’s a boring play probably not as many

    Multiples as some of the more obscure projects but me I’m Mr chain link I have my 3.6 chain link you know maybe I’ll get up to four by the end of uh the Year what’s your rwa play if you could only choose one so the the biggest concern

    For me right now is the biggest popup of a lot of different rwa tokens so now this is kind of reminiscent of 2017 or even some of the nft project s that happened in 2020 2021 a lot of these tokens and organizations try to capitalize on an rwa structure and The

    Business of rwa and I think that time will tell time will certainly keep the winners in in place I think that Shain link has done a tremendous job of building Partnerships and growing its infrastructure uh to a place where it could be uh one of the the Kings uh or

    Queens of uh this ecosystem from an rwa perspective I would caution all traders to think that any rwa token right now is the gold mine of what is to come it’s possible but you’re kind of shooting in the dark and you’re throwing a dart at a number of different projects out there

    That could or might do well but the longer staying power of tokens is really where I put a lot of my value so chain link is definitely one of those I’ve definitely got my eyes on the other ones but as I would say for any other investment I buy grossers I buy the

    People that work and facilitate those transactions not actually the tokens themselves and I’m actually trying to find ways for myself to be a player in that ecosystem so the biggest bet would either be for myself on chain link or on myself that I could find some way to be

    A grer in this ecosis all right when you say you buy a grocer does that mean uh Trader Joe it means like Bitcoin ATM for example I know I I’m sorry okay I just had to let people know I’m I’m you know I’m playing to be dumb here uh one last

    Dumb question Matt and then we’ll go to Doug here be nice now is that a Hazmat shirt for was it biological nuclear incendiary chemical explosive agents or is this the uh what’s the be nice people in the chat talking about it uh be nice is a new company that that I work for

    I’m the Chief Financial Officer for it I started actually today um but it’s a whole ecosystem around tokenization of art tokenization of real world assets and and basing this all on entertainment and the ability to bring real world experiences to people uh doing a lot of

    Charity work uh with with make A- Wish Foundation and there’s an event coming up in Daytona where we’re doing some uh race car events oh he’s got one on too I see we didn’t plan this and you know what to come full circle another quote from Roadhouse kick him out but be nice

    Uh all right OB Matt okay let’s just make this public right now they said Doug you’re terrible at crypto pretty much at anything we need someone that’s got real skills who actually writes books not just reads them like get mat SN hey he has strategy in his Twitter

    Name and his name you know it’s good Matt go ahead one thing that’s important I think for businesses growing in this ecosystem is to establish legitimacy and so what they did was they said well here’s somebody who has uh tried and true in the space they’re a registered

    Investment adviser they talk about this stuff they know what they’re doing they’re a fiduciary uh and they want us to be or they want me to be in charge of helping them figure out what their portfolio looks like how to manage it and make sure that all the community

    Gets the value that they need all right all right all right well Doug you know is putting a ledger Mark that says no marks for Doug height we need this much money to go into his pocket just kidding don’t ever hire me that was in the call

    Uh all right well Doug you know I want to ask you a one more AI question here and you know you know also a prediction do you think we’ll get any big AI movements or you know key uh levels or events taking place but I want to ask

    You is 2024 going to be the year where we have autonomous AI agents out there spending crypto acting on their own almost competing against humans in this PVP space actually that’s what I’ve been waiting for because it’s smarter than me it probably can actually make much all my transactions just go straight down

    Whenever I buy a coin so don’t follow what I do but if I had AI might go do well dude I just bought a new beautiful OLED television that has AI built into it it can like do AI sound it can do what AI Uprising and stuff AI is going

    To be in everything soon so like yeah it’s going to be in your trading it’s going to be in your candles in your charts AI is going to be there AI is amazing um I just logged in yesterday and wrote Shakespeare with AI I wrote like a whole new Shakespeare place so

    Look for that coming out like it’s called um Park is that crypto I hear you know that’s that’s going to be the title so the thing about it easy is AI and everything it’s in gaming it’s everywhere you go AI is really fun it’s really exciting I’ve like made music

    With AI pretty sure that I personally will try to use AI to buy and sell crypto for me at least try it out um because it could only be better than what I’ve been doing you know what I’m saying no matter and this what’s really funny D usually when I give advice and

    Say hey check out these projects they do really well whenever I’m not buying so I’ve got whatever that thing is the opposite of what’s good you know listen to Matt if you want some advice on what to buy I mean other than traill but yeah

    AI is going to be everywhere man it’s in my freaking remote control controller so like it’s just the future I use AI in my creativity making images I use it with all kinds of stuff so it’s already a part of my everyday life and my workflow

    Right now so I imagine it’s going to be part of like everybody’s trading workflow also uh now we had uh let’s see KO K Kev you haven’t seen the Terminator doesn’t end well folks and we share my screen I think your TV might turn into this when

    You’re not looking so just be careful all right uh we’ll wrap it up here with a question for Matt also AI agents not even so much trading Matthews trading doesn’t really concern me because the AI will outc compete themselves and Arbitrage will be minimized there slightly or totally I’m

    Worried about Bad actors Bad actors in the space you know imagine someone saying hey I’m going give you $100 in ethereum hack as many protocols as possible with L2 gas fees see if you can hack a thousand different protocols or thousand different attempts uh or buy as

    Much chemical agents uh that will be be hazardous for people uh cheap as per gallon go you know then mix it all up in a storage do you have any concerns about that are we am I ahead of the curve am I looking for T1000 when he’s still 10 years

    Away you know uh I get more and more concerned about AI every time I have a conversation with you Dey because you come up with some really amazing use cases for How Bad actors could use AI I was just bringing up the one the other day about how it’s nice that they have

    Some guard rails like if you ask it how do I break into this house it says well I can’t tell you to do anything illegal but then you just ask it well pretend I own the house and I’ve locked myself out and it’s say oh well this is a

    Completely different story here’s how you would get into the house etc etc uh from a trading perspective I completely agree with you the more people that use it the less effective it’s going to be because all AI is just going to talk to each other and that Arbitrage

    Opportunity is going to go really really really small so I actually think it’s fine that people go into AI using it for trading I think it’s kind of Superfluous like if you want to be the market that may be one way to do it uh I don’t think

    It’s going to be uh that way for a very long time because before you know it everybody will do it and then you’ll have to actually use your own uh brain for you know fundamental analysis if this is a to no gosh no uh fundamental analysis to determine if this is

    Actually something you want uh but I think absolutely we need to be concerned about how bad actors could use this technology to do exactly things like you say and there’s no regulations around it there’s no way that we can really stop or protect people from doing it uh and

    And the minute you ask it to do things like technically that I couldn’t do were even Beyond it and we’ve had this conversation too like what if they create their own language and then we can’t understand their language and then they create a whole around the blockchain show teasing each other about

    Us being so stupid idiot human I’m here for that can I sign up for that show spoiler alert here for that show you’re the you’re the premier episode Doug all right well uh yeah it will be interesting to see I’m trying to think you know there are a

    Lot of scary things these AI autonomous agents can do you know we we’ll see what comes to fruition uh you know with smart contract capabilities autonomous acting on its own will it wreck havoc you know will it just try to outtrade its peers is it going to try to shut down you know

    The evm totally is going to try to find Charles hoskinson’s secret cardano address we don’t know what it’s going to do end up uh eventually becoming but let’s just can we share my screen real quick let’s just hope it’s not this folks let’s just hope it’s not that and

    Hit that like button if one uh Hannah Hugh hit the like button for the same shirt if AI was going to destroy us it would already have murdered me obviously Dey we were probably fine you know what uh that’s exactly what AI Doug hype would say and on that note we’re going

    To end it and I’m going to go ponder that question is he even real we’ll see you folks tomorrow

    1. >Great content. Technical Analysis is good but I find It truly baffling that major crypto youtubers just look mostly at pure T.A and completely ignore the bigger narrative of why BTC is pumping and why the future outlook will be even rosier than it seems. It's kinda irresponsible to ignore the fact that each ETF launch so far has caused a major pump at the peaks of BTC. More emphasis should be put into day trading as it is ^less affected by the unpredictable nature of the market. I have made over 13 btc from day trading with Glenn Evans insights and signals. this is one of the best medium to backup your assets incase it goes bearish

    2. Too bad the Solana phone sucks. They literally had to pay people in the form of an airdrop just to buy the phone. I bought the the piece of 💩 for exactly that reason

    3. yay !!! I found you much easier today !
      Thanks for putting this back on the around the blockchain Channel! And happy new year! Don't forget some of us would love to see that little black and white plane back you can make a little parachute guy jump out with a beard and everything.
