  1. 0:00oh man the drama drama drama continues
  2. 0:04uh BTC sitting at about 17 000 right now
  3. 0:06very important level if we break this
  4. 0:08level things could get
  5. 0:10ugly and there's the possibility of
  6. 0:12binance canceling on FTX let's talk
  7. 0:15about this I just want to give a very
  8. 0:17clear uh upfront warning that the FTX
  9. 0:21near bankruptcy affects the
  10. 0:23international version of FTX the US
  11. 0:25version is supposedly okay personally I
  12. 0:29don't buy it if I or having any money
  13. 0:34right any money in FTX I don't want to
  14. 0:36contribute to a bank run here but let's
  15. 0:38just say
  16. 0:39I wouldn't keep any money in it okay I'd
  17. 0:42be like not let me take my money out
  18. 0:43they got it all figured out maybe I'll
  19. 0:45come back okay now look I know on the
  20. 0:47channel we've talked about FTX before in
  21. 0:49the past
  22. 0:51I'm giving you a fair heads up now just
  23. 0:53like I did yesterday okay so what's
  24. 0:56going on so yesterday CZ who's not
  25. 1:00exactly uh you know got the best
  26. 1:01reputation for transparency according to
  27. 1:04that video we made yesterday just
  28. 1:05watched the last 13 minutes you'll see a
  29. 1:07complete breakdown uh of why people
  30. 1:09believe that CZ doesn't have the best
  31. 1:11potential reputation for transparency
  32. 1:13yesterday binance and owner and founder
  33. 1:16CZ suggested they have written a letter
  34. 1:18of intent to acquire FTX and now we're
  35. 1:22hearing that FTX actually before going
  36. 1:25to their competitor binance actually
  37. 1:27first went to okx uh and a SAM bankman
  38. 1:31freed reached out to them on Monday uh
  39. 1:34hoping to uh to get uh a deal before
  40. 1:37having to go to binance well okay X
  41. 1:42declined and now FTX wrote a letter of
  42. 1:46intent to take over a letter of intent
  43. 1:48it lets you open up the books at FTX and
  44. 1:50go oh okay let's see what's going on
  45. 1:52here
  46. 1:53in yesterday's video on this topic
  47. 1:56I mentioned that here's what happens
  48. 2:00if binance opens up the books and says
  49. 2:02okay you guys need to provide 500
  50. 2:06million dollars in withdrawals you only
  51. 2:08have 300 million dollars binance has to
  52. 2:12look at that and say okay we'll give you
  53. 2:14that 200 million but we want your book
  54. 2:16of business right we want we want our
  55. 2:17all your clients but then you have to
  56. 2:19evaluate is that 200 million dollars
  57. 2:21worth the clients are getting and if all
  58. 2:23the clients are fleeing then the number
  59. 2:26of clients you might be getting is
  60. 2:27actually shrinking so the deal becomes
  61. 2:29less interesting and if you open up the
  62. 2:31books and the numbers are actually way
  63. 2:33worse and you potentially have to pay
  64. 2:35billions of dollars because we think
  65. 2:37outflows are somewhere between three to
  66. 2:39five billion dollars at this point from
  67. 2:41binance and if binance or if from FTX
  68. 2:43and if FTX maybe only had 500 million in
  69. 2:46the books binance might look and go dude
  70. 2:48we're not giving you guys four and a
  71. 2:49half billion dollars to bail out your
  72. 2:51customers forget that cancel the deal
  73. 2:53well now we have reports from uh
  74. 2:56coindesk that people familiar with the
  75. 2:59matter are suggesting that binance is
  76. 3:02now strongly leaning towards scrapping
  77. 3:04the FTX bailout after first glance at
  78. 3:09the books look nothing gets better after
  79. 3:12the first glance of books this is bad
  80. 3:14this is really bad because that that
  81. 3:16means you know when when the bail the
  82. 3:19one company doing the bailouts is like
  83. 3:21yeah no you're way too toxic that's
  84. 3:24really bad so and again personally not
  85. 3:27trying to create fear I would just even
  86. 3:29though this is the FTX international
  87. 3:31branch I would get my money out of FTX
  88. 3:34us I understand that could potentially
  89. 3:36lead to a run uh uh you know if
  90. 3:39everybody did that it would lead to a
  91. 3:41run on the U.S and a collapse of the U.S
  92. 3:42business as well but this is business
  93. 3:45you have to look out for yourself uh and
  94. 3:48I think that would be prudent but anyway
  95. 3:50cryptocurrency exchange binance is
  96. 3:52highly likely highly unlikely to go
  97. 3:55through with its proposed acquisition of
  98. 3:57struggling rival FTX less than a day of
  99. 3:59reviewing after less than a day of
  100. 4:01reviewing the company
  101. 4:02a person familiar with the matter said
  102. 4:04finance's non-binding letter of intent
  103. 4:06for the Takeover announced Tuesday
  104. 4:07appeared
  105. 4:09um as as ftx's financial position
  106. 4:11appeared to be spiraling out of control
  107. 4:13hinged on binance performing due
  108. 4:15diligence roughly half a day into that
  109. 4:18process after reviewing ftx's internal
  110. 4:21data and Loan commitments has led
  111. 4:22binance to strongly lean against
  112. 4:25completing the transaction binance
  113. 4:28declined to comment on the status so did
  114. 4:30FTX after coindesk released the story
  115. 4:34losses in the crypto Market uh worsened
  116. 4:37BTC visited its 2022 low of around 17
  117. 4:40100 which we saw yesterday ether back to
  118. 4:451160. wow really did we get that low
  119. 4:48hold on a sec let me see here so I know
  120. 4:50BTC is sitting at 17-2 right now let's
  121. 4:52look at eth USD weren't they like 1600
  122. 4:55just like a day ago uh
  123. 4:57um yes they literally were they were at
  124. 5:011600 now they're under 1200. this is
  125. 5:03remarkable
  126. 5:05um that's pretty painful uh all right so
  127. 5:07uh definitely get some pain here now CZ
  128. 5:10did release a letter this morning and
  129. 5:11what I thought was really interesting is
  130. 5:14yesterday in my finance video especially
  131. 5:17sort of my CZ uh expose dare I say uh in
  132. 5:23that video I talked about how binance
  133. 5:26was talking about this seifu fund which
  134. 5:30is their insurance bailout fund uh in
  135. 5:33the event there's any kind of issue with
  136. 5:35their their customers being able to
  137. 5:36withdraw funds uh that bailout fund was
  138. 5:41previously estimated to have a billion
  139. 5:43dollars of uh of assets in it but those
  140. 5:46are all b and a lot of those are B and B
  141. 5:48which is now worth a lot less and so
  142. 5:50yesterday we were estimating that there
  143. 5:52was maybe only about
  144. 5:53460 million dollars actually in that
  145. 5:57account not anywhere close to a billion
  146. 5:59dollars since we could see the wallets
  147. 6:01and so uh just a few hours ago actually
  148. 6:0410 hours ago which is about what maybe
  149. 6:07eight hours after I posted my video uh
  150. 6:10binance's CZ has come out and posted the
  151. 6:13following to adjust for recent price
  152. 6:16fluctuations binance has topped up the
  153. 6:18seafood Insurance Fund to one billion
  154. 6:20dollars again now that's interesting
  155. 6:22because this this uh uh Insurance
  156. 6:26account has been underfunded under a
  157. 6:29billion dollars for like 10 months of
  158. 6:32the year
  159. 6:33and within 10 hours of me bitching about
  160. 6:37it in a video they filled it up again
  161. 6:39now I'm not trying to take credit for
  162. 6:41that I'm sure many people were
  163. 6:42complaining about this I just think it's
  164. 6:44interesting that it's like really you
  165. 6:46kind of let it suffer that long all year
  166. 6:49and and all of a sudden now you top it
  167. 6:51off okay but again it's being topped off
  168. 6:53with with Bitcoin and BNB and if the
  169. 6:56value of these collapses then again the
  170. 6:58value of the insurance goes down uh here
  171. 7:00we've got his letter to uh uh you know
  172. 7:04basically the binance staff he just
  173. 7:06posted this uh to everyone given the
  174. 7:07events that have transpired over the
  175. 7:09last couple days I want to reiterate a
  176. 7:10few points we did not master plan this
  177. 7:12or anything related to this this is
  178. 7:14because there are rumors that basically
  179. 7:16binance purposely tried to bankrupt FTX
  180. 7:18to get rid of their competition
  181. 7:20you've got uh uh uh CZ here saying I had
  182. 7:24very little knowledge about the internal
  183. 7:26state of what was going on at FTX until
  184. 7:28SPF sandbagment freed called him send
  185. 7:30bankman freed by the way has not had a
  186. 7:32had a good day last couple days uh Wall
  187. 7:35Street Journal
  188. 7:36has a piece out uh indicating that his
  189. 7:39net worth collapsed from 16 billion
  190. 7:41dollars to potentially under 1 billion
  191. 7:44dollars uh within a day now marking a 94
  192. 7:49Wipeout the biggest one-day collapse
  193. 7:51ever amongst billionaires tracked by
  194. 7:54Bloomberg Bloomberg index gave a value
  195. 7:57of just one dollar to FTX and Alameda
  196. 8:00research
  197. 8:01and the only reason
  198. 8:03Sam bankman freed might actually have
  199. 8:05still relatively a close to maybe one
  200. 8:09billion dollar uh net worth is because
  201. 8:11of his investment into Robin Hood
  202. 8:14Sam begman freed invested in a Robin
  203. 8:15Hood when it was like seven or eight
  204. 8:17dollars I think the thing's trading for
  205. 8:18like 12 bucks now or something and uh he
  206. 8:21invested quite a a good chunk of change
  207. 8:24uh and uh yeah well actually wow dude
  208. 8:27even Robin Hood just fell look at this
  209. 8:29Robin Hood's down 9.9 today never mind
  210. 8:32there goes the rest of his net worth
  211. 8:34well at least it's preserved some of it
  212. 8:36I think he bought it like 750 or
  213. 8:38something like that but it's at 877 now
  214. 8:40wow uh Sam bankman freed Robin Hood
  215. 8:44investment let me see this was somewhere
  216. 8:46in April
  217. 8:48uh he uh he uh even suggested
  218. 8:51potentially buying the company he has a
  219. 8:547.6 stake in Robin Hood 56 million
  220. 8:58shares May 12. 56 million and if we
  221. 9:03multiply 56 million shares by 878 he has
  222. 9:07about oh that is not even close to what
  223. 9:11the Wall Street Journal is estimating
  224. 9:12anymore if his other businesses are
  225. 9:14bankrupt he's only worth about 491
  226. 9:16million right now and that's all thanks
  227. 9:19to Robinhood who would have thought that
  228. 9:22Sam bankman freed could thank Vlad tenev
  229. 9:26to help him continue to stay rich
  230. 9:29who would have thought anyway
  231. 9:31um wild let's go back to that letter
  232. 9:34though and continue to see what CZ is
  233. 9:37arguing here
  234. 9:39which is right here
  235. 9:41all right so as the due diligence for
  236. 9:43the deal is ongoing I want to remind
  237. 9:45everyone do not trade the FTX tokens if
  238. 9:49you have a bag you have a bag do not buy
  239. 9:52or sell as soon as I finish the call
  240. 9:54with Sam bankman freed yesterday I asked
  241. 9:56our team to stop selling as an
  242. 9:57organization so keep this in mind over
  243. 10:00the weekend CZ said we're gonna dump
  244. 10:03like 500 million coins of the FTX token
  245. 10:06that was before this collapse and now
  246. 10:09with his call after his call with Sam
  247. 10:11bankman freed where who knows maybe Sam
  248. 10:13bankman freed is basically begging CZ
  249. 10:15not to sell Finance tokens or the FTX
  250. 10:18tokens now CZ is recommending that if
  251. 10:21you're losing money on the FTX token
  252. 10:23don't worry just wait I mean that sounds
  253. 10:26like a bunch of BS to me but whatever
  254. 10:28yeah exactly only 490 mil what a peasant
  255. 10:32exactly
  256. 10:35um how safe are funds with binance you
  257. 10:37know I don't trust binance I said this
  258. 10:40yesterday as well and the problem is if
  259. 10:43binance doesn't buy FTX you're going to
  260. 10:46have massive Liquidations in not only is
  261. 10:50the FTX token going to go to zero but
  262. 10:52you're going to see pressure on the
  263. 10:53binance token you're going to see
  264. 10:55pressure on bitcoin and ethereum more
  265. 10:57than you've already seen if we break
  266. 10:59this 17 000 level on BTC you could see
  267. 11:02BTC fall lower in fact in my video
  268. 11:05yesterday I put in a little quote of me
  269. 11:07saying the only thing holding BTC up at
  270. 11:09around nineteen thousand dollars then is
  271. 11:11is s uh is FTX same bank but freed and
  272. 11:15the bailouts like if and I even said if
  273. 11:17he runs out of money
  274. 11:19TBD that's what I said if he runs
  275. 11:21Automotive TBD in other words like it's
  276. 11:23probably gonna get bad and that's
  277. 11:24literally what's happening right now
  278. 11:26which is
  279. 11:27kind of scary so the problem is
  280. 11:30binance says they're good but I don't
  281. 11:33trust them if BTC drops under ten
  282. 11:36thousand dollars I would not be
  283. 11:38surprised
  284. 11:39it's entirely possible you see CZ take a
  285. 11:42few bill disappear binance collapses
  286. 11:45not saying it's gonna happen I'm not
  287. 11:48making any guarantees but let me put it
  288. 11:50this way would I move my money from FTX
  289. 11:52to binance hell no if I had money in
  290. 11:55crypto it would either be cold wallet
  291. 11:57like not your keys not your coin right
  292. 12:00not your crypto I'd have my money out of
  293. 12:02any kind of centralized exchange or I
  294. 12:05just wouldn't be in crypto while these
  295. 12:07uh these collapses are happening around
  296. 12:09because it's going to put downward
  297. 12:11valuation pressure on on the coins uh
  298. 12:14I'm sure many of you remember this but I
  299. 12:18have regularly been asked about hey what
  300. 12:21about
  301. 12:22um you know the uh the potential for uh
  302. 12:26nfts to maintain value right and people
  303. 12:28were always wondering like Kevin when
  304. 12:29are you going to get into holding nfts
  305. 12:31more long-term I'm like I'm not because
  306. 12:32here's what happens when you get in this
  307. 12:34I've always said this even in the bull
  308. 12:36run when nfts were killing it right I'm
  309. 12:38like the problem is if you go into a
  310. 12:41recession the last thing that has
  311. 12:43liquidity is going to be an nft
  312. 12:45and it's going to be the first thing
  313. 12:47that gets dumped the same is going to be
  314. 12:50true for a lot of other assets you have
  315. 12:52to look at when companies have to
  316. 12:54liquidate they have to dump assets and
  317. 12:56when liquidity goes down price plummets
  318. 12:59even faster it's really scary so uh you
  319. 13:02know I'm not trying to like fear Monger
  320. 13:03here but like I just want to be clear
  321. 13:06I would not and I said this yesterday
  322. 13:08too I wouldn't have any money in FTX the
  323. 13:10us or International Version and I
  324. 13:12wouldn't have any money in uh in binance
  325. 13:15uh I also right before Voyager digital
  326. 13:18went bankrupt I made it very clear on
  327. 13:21the channel get your money out of stable
  328. 13:22coins they're not safe right now and
  329. 13:25then all of a sudden we get the Terra
  330. 13:26Luna collapse and everything it's crazy
  331. 13:28uh and I'm not trying to like Pat myself
  332. 13:29on the back for like oh you know
  333. 13:31predicting or whatever I'm just I'm
  334. 13:32trying to provide warnings that's all
  335. 13:33I'm trying to do and I'm trying to be
  336. 13:35even more clear because like when I said
  337. 13:37cell Peloton at 113 I'm dumping it
  338. 13:39because things are changing people then
  339. 13:40later made slander's videos about me
  340. 13:43going haha look Kevin's investment
  341. 13:44Peloton went to twenty dollars or ten
  342. 13:46dollars it's like
  343. 13:47I guess you missed all the warnings so I
  344. 13:49just want to be even more clear but then
  345. 13:50again people are always going to hate
  346. 13:51but they just hate us so okay what else
  347. 13:55do we know let's go back to that letter
  348. 13:56uh so I again I think this is nonsense
  349. 14:00this is just CZ oops this is CZ trying
  350. 14:03to tell his friend that uh hey I'm
  351. 14:06helping you try to make sure there's
  352. 14:08liquidity for uh the finance token by
  353. 14:11encouraging people not to sell uh
  354. 14:14um okay U.S Finance Regulators are now
  355. 14:18investigating whether FTX properly
  356. 14:20handled customer funds yeah this is
  357. 14:22going to lead to a lot of Investigations
  358. 14:25U.S probes FTX over handling of client
  359. 14:28funds uh well yeah no kidding
  360. 14:32so let me see here
  361. 14:38okay yeah so continuing on with the
  362. 14:40letter three obviously do not comment on
  363. 14:43the deal publicly or internally you know
  364. 14:44it's kind of funny that like hours after
  365. 14:46this letter comes out of CZ saying oh
  366. 14:48please don't comment on the deal
  367. 14:49somebody comments on the deal to
  368. 14:51coindesk and and the story leaks right
  369. 14:54away duh FTX is FTX going down is not
  370. 14:58good for the entire industry we don't
  371. 15:00view it as a win for us user confidence
  372. 15:02is severely shaken Regulators will
  373. 15:03scrutinize exchanges even more licenses
  374. 15:06will be harder to get yeah you're going
  375. 15:08to end up having a Federal Reserve that
  376. 15:10has to supervise all this stuff because
  377. 15:11nobody's going to trust it
  378. 15:15not to mention price swings and
  379. 15:17insurances blah blah blah speaking of
  380. 15:19prices ignore the prices let's keep our
  381. 15:21heads down and focus on Building
  382. 15:22Products people use dude nobody uses
  383. 15:25Bitcoin
  384. 15:27just as an example right you don't
  385. 15:29transact with it at least not yet maybe
  386. 15:31in the future you go to lightning and
  387. 15:33stuff but like blockchain technology is
  388. 15:35so good but there's still a fundamental
  389. 15:38disconnect between how much blockchain
  390. 15:41Technologies actually worth
  391. 15:45and how much tokens are trading for
  392. 15:47which obviously have voting ownership in
  393. 15:49the blockchains
  394. 15:50but I I don't know really proud of every
  395. 15:53one of you blah blah blah blah blah yeah
  396. 15:55whatever
  397. 15:57um I don't know man I'm glad you guys CZ
  398. 16:00and binance I'm glad they topped off uh
  399. 16:03their uh their Insurance Fund because
  400. 16:06that was a joke uh yesterday he was
  401. 16:09pitching how great seifu is and I'm like
  402. 16:12dude what are you talking about it's
  403. 16:13worth a whole lot less than what it used
  404. 16:14to be uh they're obviously using this as
  405. 16:16a marketing pitch uh here he is saying
  406. 16:19he likes being bald basically because
  407. 16:21it's kind of like a zero and they have
  408. 16:23zero fees for BTC it's an ad what I put
  409. 16:26money into this right now hell no like
  410. 16:28let the cards fall where they may and
  411. 16:31then if you want to go invest back into
  412. 16:32crypto you can do that uh
  413. 16:36oh yeah yeah what will happen to Voyager
  414. 16:38they were being bought by FTX I don't
  415. 16:40know I thought Voyager was going through
  416. 16:42bankruptcy I didn't know that FTX was a
  417. 16:44potential Suitor uh that's possible
  418. 16:46though because through bankruptcy you
  419. 16:48could see that uh occur customers of
  420. 16:53bankrupt crypto lender Voyager
  421. 16:56uh
  422. 16:57um
  423. 16:58oh yeah Voyager to October oh that's
  424. 17:01very interesting yeah uh FTX was
  425. 17:03considered one of the potential
  426. 17:05purchasers for Voyager
  427. 17:07customers of bankrupt crypto lender
  428. 17:09Voyage or could recover 72 percent of
  429. 17:11their funds if FTX sale is approved too
  430. 17:13bad now FTX is going bankrupt so there
  431. 17:16goes that there goes the potential of
  432. 17:17getting 72 percent of your money back on
  433. 17:19on Voyager oops
  434. 17:25nope
  435. 17:28Bankruptcy Court approved an arrangement
  436. 17:30where Voyager can scrap the FTX deal of
  437. 17:33a better offer materializes yeah right
  438. 17:35fdx's offer would just went away
  439. 17:38oh yeah yeah
  440. 17:41uh yeah I I am hearing a lot of Solana
  441. 17:44drama
  442. 17:46I actually don't know much about this
  443. 17:49uh but um I'm happy to do some research
  444. 17:53into Solana and see what's going on uh
  445. 17:56let's take a look at coindesk over here
  446. 17:58salana
  447. 18:01Solana continues its plunge okay Monday
  448. 18:04war on Solana sunk deeper and deeper uh
  449. 18:07okay why investors speculated about its
  450. 18:10paw about its possible place in the
  451. 18:12ongoing drama around FTX okay
  452. 18:14a copy of the Alameda balance sheet seen
  453. 18:17by coindesk shows that Alameda holds 292
  454. 18:21million of unlocked Solana and 863
  455. 18:24million of locked Solana and 41 million
  456. 18:27of Solana collateral one theory is
  457. 18:30Alameda might try to dump its Soul
  458. 18:31tokens in a bid to raise liquidity of
  459. 18:33course of course if they're going to go
  460. 18:36bankrupt and this is true that Alameda
  461. 18:38holds all the Solana it's all going to
  462. 18:40get dumped that's what I said is is when
  463. 18:42you have these liquidity problems you're
  464. 18:45going to see a dumping of whatever
  465. 18:47assets you could possibly get your hands
  466. 18:49onto
  467. 18:50uh this now oh my gosh this was 21 bucks
  468. 18:54yesterday it's at 16 now
  469. 18:57year-to-date Solana down from 170 bucks
