0:00Three weeks ago, I started trading on
0:02Robin Hood chain. And I'm not a top
0:03trench trader. I'm not paid to promote
0:05or shill any tokens, and I don't have
0:07copy traders pumping my bags. I actually
0:09have proof of that. I ran a test, and
0:11I'll show you that a little bit later in
0:12this video. But, I'm still up almost
0:14$17,000,
0:16and most of that came my first week
0:18trading. So, in this video, I'm going to
0:19show you exactly how I find these
0:21tokens, what I'm holding right now, and
0:23how to not fall for the single biggest
0:26scam in the trenches right now that
0:28loads of people are promoting, and loads
0:30of people keep falling for. I call it
0:32the rug cabal because they literally
0:34keep doing the same thing over and over
0:35and over again, and extracting millions
0:37from people that are unaware of this
0:39type [snorts] of rug and what to watch
0:41out for. Okay, like I said at the start
0:43of this video, I am nowhere near a top
0:44trader on uh you know, any of these
0:46trenching platforms. Uh there are far
0:48more traders that are
0:50just making ridiculous amounts of money
0:53trading in the trenches. And obviously,
0:54we all know that some of these traders
0:56are malicious or bad actors. There's
0:59weird deals that happen behind the
1:00scenes. Some of these traders are
1:01actually paid money to go and buy
1:03certain tokens to pump them up and
1:05promote them because they have such a
1:06massive audience on these platforms that
1:10it there's just so many weird schemes
1:11that could be had to make a lot of money
1:13that people end up getting into. And
1:15there's also somewhat of a copy trader
1:17effect where some of these top traders
1:18like Unipix um etc. When they buy a
1:22token, a lot of other people copy them
1:24and jump into that token, too, further
1:26pushing up the price. So, not everything
1:28is exactly as it seems. But, on the
1:31other end of the spectrum, not everyone
1:33here is doing that. Or not everyone here
1:35has the benefit of copy traders. And not
1:37everyone here is a bad malicious actor.
1:39There are a lot of people that have
1:41honestly just made a ridiculous amount
1:43of money trading in the trenches because
1:45it's just an absurd place to make a
1:47ridiculous amount of money if you really
1:49know what you're doing. And you can see
1:51here, like I said, I made almost
1:54$17,000. Most of this came from my first
1:56week. If you watched my other video, uh
1:59most tokens that I bought actually were
2:01duds. They went down like 90%.
2:04Some of them went down less than that,
2:06but most of them were losses. All my
2:08gains really came from just two trades.
2:10And I would guess that with a lot of
2:12these traders, it's about the same. Like
2:14they're at the top because they had one
2:15lucky trade or two lucky trades that
2:17ended up doing really, really well for
2:19them. And you know, they made a couple
2:21hundred thousand dollars. Now, obviously
2:23I have 270,000 subscribers on YouTube.
2:26And so a lot of people would just
2:27assume, "Hey, because you have 270,000
2:29subscribers on YouTube, you make these
2:31videos, you get a lot of views on them.
2:33You're just getting copy traded. So you
2:34you buy something, a lot of people buy
2:35in, it pushes up the price. That's how
2:37you're making money. You're actually not
2:38a good trader." And while in the bull
2:40market, I can make a video about a
2:41token, and yeah, that token could
2:43definitely go up. No matter how many
2:44times I tell people not to copy me, they
2:46end up copying, and you know, there's
2:48really no stopping it in a bull market.
2:50In a bear market, and especially in the
2:52trenches where, you know, I haven't
2:54built up a reputation or anything like
2:55that, you don't get the same effect. And
2:58I was actually able to prove this. I
2:59ended up launching a token. Uh please do
3:01not buy this token at all. It was
3:03literally just launched for a test to
3:05see how many copy traders I truly had on
3:09FOMO. And this token, you can see I
3:10bought it at $4,000 in market cap. And
3:13if you know anything about market cap,
3:15you know that 4,000 is an absurdly small
3:18amount in terms of market cap. Bitcoin
3:20is sitting at $1.6 trillion in market
3:24cap. Ethereum is at 30 300 billion in
3:27market cap. GEOD, which I would
3:29consider, you know, somewhat of a
3:30smaller token, is at $116
3:33million in dollars in market cap.
3:35Research Coin, which I would fully
3:37consider a very small token, is sitting
3:39at $58 million
3:41in market cap. Meaning even if like one
3:44person buys in after me, it should push
3:46up the price. One person throwing $100
3:49in would make a mark on the chart as
3:53they push up the price. And here's where
3:54I bought at $4,000 when the token
3:57launched. And you can see I was copy
3:59traded by bots or someone, but not very
4:02much at all. Like
4:04abysmally small amount. You can see it
4:06went from $4,000 in market cap to
4:09$10,000 in market cap, and then it came
4:11back down to $4,000 in market cap. So
4:14when I'm buying tokens at $100,000
4:16market cap or $200,000 market cap, I'm
4:18having literally no effect on it.
4:21At that level of copy trading, no
4:23effect. There's no copy traders coming
4:25in here like
4:26running it up or anything like that. So
4:28I honestly made $17,000 my first week
4:31trading in the trenches, and I did it
4:33because this isn't really my first week
4:35trading in the trenches. When I used to
4:36trade back in 2020 and 2021, we didn't
4:38call it the trenches, but it's the basic
4:40same concept and idea buying really low
4:43cap altcoins. And by the way, if you
4:45want to investigate any of this stuff,
4:46you can just go to my FOMO page and look
4:48at it all yourself. Like it This is all
4:50publicly available if you want to go
4:51check it out. Anyways, okay. So how I
4:52find these tokens. And by the way, a
4:54little bit later in this video, I'm
4:55going to be sharing the tokens that I'm
4:57currently holding. Obviously, you can
4:58see some of the tokens that I'm holding,
5:00but the tokens I'm currently holding in
5:01general for the bull market. So usually
5:03what I do is I come on FOMO, but I
5:05usually go on FOMO desktop when I'm
5:08wanting to do research. And I'll go to
5:09this token list right here. And I'll
5:11look at I don't like to do memes, so
5:13I'll kind of skip the memes, but I'll
5:15look for something that is popular and
5:18seems to have recently gone up quite a
5:20bit. These two are going down.
5:22They could still work, but I'm just
5:23going to kind of keep moving on. Ponds
5:25is an older one. I'm going to look at
5:27this one run up.
5:29It looks like it was a lot higher and it
5:30came down. I'm just kind of curious what
5:32it is. So I'm just going to look at it
5:34and see kind of what it is. It's another
5:37token launchpad. Launchpads are really
5:39popular narrative right now because of
5:42Ponds. So Ponds went from, you know, 10K
5:44to almost 700 million dollars in market
5:46cap. And so obviously people are trying
5:48to, you know, do the same thing.
5:50PAID is also something I've been seeing
5:52around. It was a lot higher. It's down
5:55low. I wouldn't invest into it, but I
5:57kind of want to see what it is. Um just
5:59so I can see if there's a new narrative
6:01spreading around in the trenches. It was
6:02at 17 million, it's now at 8 million.
6:05That's not horrible. So so let's take a
6:06look at kind of what it is right now.
6:09Route token fees through xMoney, okay.
6:12So kind of the same thing you you launch
6:14a token and the token can go to like a
6:16creator. Is it looks like the concept
6:18kind of leaning into the PONZ thing.
6:20Musebook um also is kind of a newer one.
6:23It looks like it peaked somewhere around
6:2550 million in market cap. Um it's
6:28currently sitting down at 26 million. Uh
6:30that makes sense. Let's look at what
6:32this is. Well, the website's down for
6:34this one.
6:35>> [laughter]
6:36>> What uh you know, we'll look at the X. I
6:39don't know, maybe they're upgrading it
6:40or maybe it was a rug or something like
6:41that. So we'll skip that one. GStock at
6:44its height was around 38 million. It's
6:46sitting at 24 million. All right. Uh
6:48GStock a BNB chain community asset
6:50turning on-chain attention to coordinate
6:52shareholder movement. I don't know if
6:54you can tell uh but this website to me
6:57fully looks vibe coded. Usually one of
6:59the biggest giveaways is this actually
7:01this dotted line. Uh Claude loves making
7:04dotted lines. I don't know why, but for
7:05whatever reason loves making dotted
7:07lines. Usually AI is really bad at
7:09spacing and you could tell, you know,
7:11when there's weird spacing issues. And
7:13it kind of just looks cookie cutter
7:14right? Like um these kind of thin lines
7:17and this kind of weird font give it away
7:19to me. I just I've seen so many vibe
7:20coded websites. That doesn't necessarily
7:22mean anything cuz I've seen vibe coded
7:24websites go to like 50 million. So you
7:26still make money on them. It just does
7:27help to know that, you know,
7:30some guy vibe coded this and probably
7:32shouldn't believe in it long term. Stonk
7:34is another massive one uh that's been
7:36really popular lately. It's a launchpad
7:39just like uh
7:40PONZ is, but it's a launchpad for
7:42Solana. And this also was VIP-coded.
7:45There's the dotted line right there. And
7:47see how it flows up and down this? This
7:49is actually a
7:51classic, uh, like something I've seen,
7:54uh, multiple times even when I've built
7:55sites. But anyway, this is, uh, launch
7:57court coins paired with anything. So,
7:59it's kind of leaning into Ponz, leaning
8:00into the idea of like pairing a token
8:03with a stock or whatever. And, uh, this
8:05one's done really well as well, which
8:07kind of just leans into the launchpad
8:09narrative in the trenches. And the way
8:11this works is people will look for an
8:13asset. So, they'll they'll look at Ponz
8:15being so successful. And they'll say,
8:16"Wow, Ponz is so successful. I missed
8:18out. What's going to be the next Ponz?"
8:20And the way that their brain works is
8:22they look for something that's just
8:23similar. Um, for for whatever reason,
8:25this could be kind of abstract and it
8:26can kind of mutate into weird, obscure
8:29things you might not fully expect. But
8:31the most general thing would be like,
8:32look for something that's like another
8:34kind of launchpad. Um, and so uh, Stonk
8:37is a really easy one cuz it's the same
8:39concept paired, um,
8:41that made Lawn popular, that made Ponz
8:43popular, where you're pairing an asset
8:44with a stock, but it's on Solana. So,
8:46it's like, "Oh, this same concept but on
8:48Solana, it should do well." So, people
8:50will send it higher. And that's kind of
8:52the general idea of like a popular
8:54narrative. Artificial Inu is another
8:55great example, where it paired, um, a
8:58meme coin, and I've talked about this
8:59before, a meme coin with a stock,
9:01Nvidia. And so, you had a lot of meme
9:03coins launched like this, where it was
9:04you had Boner, which was, uh,
9:06a meme coin paired with Hims. You had
9:08Moo, which was a cow, uh, meme coin
9:11paired with Micron, MU, which kind of
9:13sounds like Moo. And so, uh, you get the
9:15idea like the leader AI created a trend,
9:18and then everyone looked for the next
9:20thing in that trend, which is just
9:22things that are similar. That is the
9:23full secret
9:24>> [laughter]
9:24>> to the trenches. That's how it works.
9:26You just look for the next thing that's
9:27going to be, uh,
9:28about the same thing, popular, but try
9:31to find it early. And it's got to have
9:32like, you know, a good website, a good
9:34team, not be a rug. You're investigating
9:36all those details, looking for a good
9:38reason for it to go up, and that's the
9:40entire game. This is another one that's
9:42popular called Shroom. They got to Well,
9:46they're at 17 million market cap. They
9:48got to over 60 million at the height.
9:51They say they're building liquidity
9:52network for stock tokens on Robinhood
9:55chain. I don't really know exactly what
9:57they mean by that. The Shroom
9:58experiment. The goal is to pair Shroom
10:00with all major stock token Okay. Okay.
10:02The general idea is I don't even really
10:04care what they do. I'm not buying this
10:06token. So, if I was, I'd, you know,
10:08maybe do more research. But, the general
10:09thing is pair Shroom with major stock
10:12tokens. It's kind of leaning into that
10:14narrative. And that's kind of all people
10:15care about. They don't They really don't
10:17care in the trenches if this is going to
10:18last long or not. They just care if
10:20other people are going to buy it. And
10:22so, they say, "Ooh, is this convincing
10:23enough other people would buy it?" And
10:24so, then, you know, if it is a really
10:26convincing concept, just sounds cool,
10:28people end up buying it. This one kind
10:30of looks interesting. Prior's.
10:33It went up. It looks like it's a 800k
10:35market cap. It went to 1.3. This one's
10:37early. Let's see what we got here.
10:39Reputation rooted in repayment.
10:42Unsecured USD credit for AI agents
10:44sponsored with the capital behind their
10:45conviction. Every repayment grows your
10:47record. You can verify. Okay, just even
10:50this wording, if you use any vibe
10:52coding, you know this was vibe coding.
10:54I don't know why Claude likes to use
10:56record like
10:57I don't know why, but that word
10:58specifically kind of triggered me off.
11:00And in general, like this looks like
11:02something that was vibe coded as well.
11:04It really helps that if you go vibe code
11:05stuff yourself, you'll start to notice
11:07it. It just becomes kind of obvious.
11:09Again, the fonts and different things
11:10like that. But, this does seem like sort
11:13of a cool concept that maybe people
11:15would fall for and buy into. And that's
11:17what you're trying to figure out is
11:18like, "Hey, does it, you know, are
11:20people going to buy it?" Obviously,
11:23whoever built this didn't do
11:25>> [laughter]
11:25>> the best job cuz it's like loading super
11:27super slow
11:29from AWS or wherever. But, let's say I
11:31was interested in this one and I'm like,
11:32"Hey, this kind of looks cool. Maybe
11:34like one I'll buy." Um I would come down
11:37here and I start looking at the thesis.
11:39Uh because uh you know, people might
11:41mention things here that I don't know um
11:44and they they'll kind of try to distill
11:46the most bullish things about it. So, it
11:47says, "If you're lucky enough to find
11:49Okay, not doesn't matter." Um had an old
11:52limit order set Oh, on-chain credit
11:54built specifically for AI agents,
11:55reputation earned by real USG.
11:58Okay, so that's kind of the distilled
11:59narrative. Okay, so a lot of these are
12:01not actually really useful to me at
12:03least in this case. Not really
12:05interested in what they have to say.
12:06Then I'll look through the holders, see
12:08um this is like a bigger holder, a
12:10bigger guy
12:11uh that he he'll pump it and promote it
12:13if he likes it. So, that's worth This
12:16guy I think is got a pretty good
12:18metaphor Yeah, uh pretty good amount of
12:20following. You know, you want to see
12:21some of the bigger guys possibly in
12:23there. Um that can help if it's at a
12:25smaller amount and it hasn't, you know,
12:26fallen down a bit. Then you can say,
12:28"Hey, maybe this is like a pullback or
12:30something like that." This one comes
12:31from Orbio uh this narrative. So, this
12:34is another really popular one that kind
12:36of popped off in the trenches
12:38um that there's a lot of kind of
12:39spin-offs from it. It's You can see it
12:41it got to a height of 88 million in
12:44market cap. That's definitely high
12:45enough to kind of light the bat signal
12:47for other people to copy it. Orbio was a
12:49similar kind of AI agent thing. So, it
12:52was get LLM credits at a discount, one
12:54key every model, no subscriptions. And
12:56you can see um you know, it's it's a
12:59nicer looking website. It doesn't
13:00immediately scream I was vibe coded. It
13:02might have been, I don't know, but it
13:03doesn't really scream that it was vibe
13:05coded. You have an email here that's
13:07kind of a weird thing to have uh on
13:10these sites because
13:11a lot of people don't. So, it looks like
13:13it's a legit legit effort to actually
13:15build something real, which is probably
13:17why it ran up.
13:19First is this one. This one looks
13:21not like that at all. And so, I think
13:24for me I
13:26it could do really well Um and I'm not
13:28saying it won't uh but because it's so
13:31obviously vibe coded,
13:32>> [laughter]
13:33>> I don't know. It doesn't hurt to skip
13:35stuff. I'm I'm missing stuff all day
13:37that does you know, 100x, 1000x. You're
13:39always going to. So, that one's it's on
13:41the fence because even though it's
13:42stupid, it's one that could do well and
13:45that drives me nuts because it's like,
13:47ah, you know, people are sometimes dumb
13:49and they send those things just crazy
13:50high. But I think I'll skip it. I'll
13:52I'll look for something that's a little
13:53bit more I have a little bit more
13:54conviction and like, wow, this is, you
13:56know, at least somewhat of a good idea.
13:57But what else I'll do is I'll actually
13:58go to something like Orbeon and I'll go
14:01to their chart and I'll go all the way
14:03back to the start and I'll start looking
14:05through these theses.
14:07And I just kind of look for somebody who
14:08doesn't write something stupid. Like
14:10that guy says, "My agent said this was a
14:11buy." So, I skip. That's stupid. Like I
14:13don't care about that. Look at these
14:15ones. Dev has worked with pumped.fun
14:17founders and moonshot founder buying
14:19multi-billions. Okay, so right here.
14:21This guy's got some weird insider
14:22information. He looks like he might know
14:25something, so I'm going to click on his
14:26profile. I'm going to click here. I'm
14:28going to see what this guy is holding
14:30and if anything looks interesting.
14:31Specifically, I'm going to go to his
14:32buys right here and I'm going to look at
14:34what he bought recently. So, he bought
14:36this. It's some sort of meme coin. I
14:37just usually skip those. The next thing
14:39he bought is something called machine.
14:41It's really small market cap. I'm going
14:43to click on it. I'm going to look at it
14:45and I'm going to say, "Okay, it was at,
14:47you know, whatever, 1.2 million. Now
14:50it's 250k."
14:52That
14:53makes me a little bit nervous because
14:55these things have a lot a a really short
14:57life cycle.
14:58Let's see what it is. Spin for free when
15:00it credits powered by Okay, this just
15:02sounds stupid to me, so I'm going to
15:03skip it. And you know, not really
15:05anything he bought recently that looks
15:07super interesting to me.
15:10He's following one person. I don't know
15:12who this is. Let's Let's see who they
15:13are.
15:14Um
15:16Oh, it's the guy building Orbeon.
15:18So, I guess I'll follow that guy, too.
15:20That's interesting.
15:21So, he's he's building Orbeon. He's got
15:23a couple things here. I'm going to go
15:24back to the Orbeon chart and I'm just
15:26going to do the same thing again. And
15:28this is kind of what I do. I just go
15:29back
15:30uh look for people that seem smart. I'm
15:33going to expand the chart to 30 minutes
15:34so I can see more of these things um
15:36because, you know, it hides a lot of
15:38them if you're at like the 1-hour. All
15:40right, this guy, Robinhood pushing
15:41agents first coin that has a flywheel
15:43that tokenize AI credits docs dev could
15:45likely build something here. Okay, I
15:46like this guy's analysis so I'm going to
15:48check out what he has. This guy's got
15:50some decent wins in his past. Um he's a
15:52smaller account so he's not, you know,
15:54getting copy traded a bunch. He's bought
15:56an Ocat which I saw that the
15:59the founder of Orbeon also had that
16:01Orbeon cat. Okay.
16:03You know, it looks like it's a meme um
16:05about Orbeon. And so this will happen
16:08sometimes where like somebody will make
16:10a ton of money in one trade. Um this guy
16:12didn't make a ton of money but they'll
16:13be still bullish about it. They'll start
16:14buying weird stuff around that trade
16:16like a meme about it or something based
16:18on it and usually I skip those because I
16:21don't know. I feel like they have some
16:22bad bias there when when they're doing
16:23that. He's got machine as well. 4 days
16:25ago he got up up up but it looks like he
16:28sold that uh since. Unfortunately, this
16:30guy also doesn't have anything
16:32interesting. All right, this person says
16:33bullish on dev. They bought pretty early
16:36as well.
16:37Looking at this.
16:39You can see this person's done really
16:40good. They do have a decent amount of
16:42followers but not too much that they're
16:44like in the top and getting, you know,
16:45copy traded a bunch.
16:47You can see recently they've bought
16:49this. Um I'm not sure what it is. Let's
16:51check it out.
16:53Privacy is a human right. Ooh, this is a
16:55good one. Okay, so privacy human rights
16:56securely move assets through different
16:57chains and addresses privately.
17:00Privacy is also a narrative right now in
17:02the trenches because Zcash going up. You
17:04can see that this one is currently
17:06sitting 840 or 847,000 in market cap.
17:11He's bought in quite a amount uh quite a
17:12good amount. He's not selling any.
17:15Um
17:16this is actually an interesting one. So,
17:17let's actually check this one out
17:18because um, this is our first good find
17:21so far. Uh, you can see it it pumped up
17:23to 1.4, came back down, but it kind of
17:25seems like it's still in an up
17:27trajectory. Looking at the thesis is
17:28here's actually a really good and useful
17:30one.
17:31Docs Dev followed by Mark at A16Z,
17:33Polygon team, StarkNet, Coinbase, Tech
17:36Works, Try it, the dev is shipping,
17:38unclear what the token does, I'm
17:39bridging privately, not a ton of big
17:41traders in here, which it goes either
17:43way. That that could be a good thing and
17:45a bad thing. Um, I would say in this one
17:46right now so far I'd actually like that
17:48cuz that means they could still come in
17:50here and and pump it a ton. Yeah, I you
17:53know, I kind of like this one. Usually
17:54I'll come check their X, make sure they
17:55have what looks like some real posts
17:57versus just like one
17:59video, one announcement video. It looks
18:01like this is the dev behind the project,
18:03so not who not sure who this guy is, but
18:06I'd actually go for me that this is one
18:08that is interesting. I this is actually
18:09one I'd stick some money in. Um, and for
18:11me a $1,000 is a smaller size. Um, you
18:14know, for most people
18:16if you're trading in the trenches, you
18:17probably are looking at like doing 50
18:19bucks or 100 bucks or something you just
18:22don't care about losing because there's
18:23a very big very big reality this could
18:26go to zero and it has happened to me
18:28more times than I can count where I put
18:30in 500, I put in 1,000 and it just
18:33drops by 90%. That happens all the time.
18:35It's not weird that it happens. That's
18:37normal trench behavior. But um, yeah,
18:39I'm going to go ahead and buy this one.
18:41And that's basically it. After that I
18:42will kind of follow up. I'll keep an eye
18:44out when the token doubles, I'll usually
18:46take out my initial whatever initial
18:47investment, so 1,000 bucks I'll take off
18:49the table.
18:50Uh, when it's token like triples or
18:52quadruples, I take a little bit of
18:53profit off the top just because these
18:55tokens typically have a really short
18:57lifespan. Not all of them last very
18:58long. Sometimes they do. Sometimes they
19:00go
19:01to to like ridiculous amounts, but it's
19:02still good to take your initial out and
19:04profit off the table because you don't
19:05want to be left holding a giant amount
19:07anyway. And um, I say that because like
19:10I mentioned earlier, okay, you have you
19:12know, people like Unipix here. He's got
19:15millions and millions of dollars, but he
19:16can't really sell these tokens because
19:18if he were to sell these tokens, um he
19:21would absolutely collapse the price. You
19:23know, like Pons, he could maybe
19:25definitely take some of that off the
19:26table. But some of these other ones like
19:27Useless, Mars, um there's just not
19:30enough liquidity in these tokens for him
19:32to sell. Like Useless has 3.5 million in
19:35um liquidity and he's got $4 million he
19:38wants to sell. There's just literally
19:39not enough half of this is the token,
19:41the Useless token. So, you got like um
19:44let's let's call it 4 million rounded
19:45up. You got $2 million sitting there in
19:48actual liquidity. If he dumps his $4.6
19:51million, he could probably pull out
19:53maybe a million, but he would send this
19:54thing to zero. And with it, he would,
19:57you know, send his reputation to zero.
19:59So, it makes it really hard for a lot of
20:00these people to sell these tokens. Now,
20:01I mentioned I'll talk about what I'm
20:03buying just starting with my FOMO
20:05positions.
20:06Um this is one that I've held for a a
20:07while now. This one actually I was up at
20:09one .60,000.
20:11Uh
20:13And it's since come back down. You can
20:14see it was, you know, almost 60,000. It
20:17went really really high at one point and
20:18it's come back down. The reason that I
20:20like this one so much is it fits into
20:23the the same narrative as um you know, a
20:26lot of these launch pads. Um
20:28but it's it's on and it's on Robinhood,
20:30but it's uh backed with a perp. So, it's
20:32a token backed with a perp. And the
20:35builder behind this token is this guy.
20:38And um he's a real dev. They've been
20:41building this project for a while.
20:42They'll continue to build the project
20:44for a while. They do have some
20:45connections over at Pons. And with just
20:47so many rugs and just short-term
20:49projects that have literally no
20:51intention whatsoever of shipping
20:52anything, um it's really cool to see
20:55somebody who's actually trying to build
20:56something. So, currently sitting at 1.6
20:58million in market cap
20:59with an entire team behind it, like a
21:01real legit team, I can see it going to
21:0420 million to 40 million, and you know,
21:06or higher than that. And so this is one
21:08for me that I'm really happy to hold
21:10longer term because I know there's a a
21:11team building. It's not just one guy
21:14behind the scenes who might give up next
21:15week. And then I've talked about before
21:17in other videos Harness, which is
21:18actually not on Robinhood. That one's on
21:20Base. Um this is a short-term kind of
21:23flip one for me. It's actually on Arc
21:25chain, not on Robinhood. But it is up
21:27almost 81%. And the idea behind this one
21:29is AI agents
21:31on AI agent payments. So Arc is supposed
21:33to be a payments chain. It's launched by
21:36Circle, the company behind USDC. And so
21:39this is agent payments on Arc. So it
21:41could be it could end up being a good
21:42one. It's still really small. So that's
21:44what gets me excited about it. You guys
21:45saw Hades, just talked about that. I
21:47also have Nest. It's a little bit of a
21:48longer term one. And I recently got into
21:50Grass. I'm currently down
21:52down on that one. But that one's pretty
21:53cool, too. The problem is the branding,
21:55which I'll talk about in a second. It's
21:57very similar to another one that was a
21:58rug. This team isn't a rug. They're
22:00actually building. The idea is like sort
22:02of like Pokémon Go. You go to the
22:03location and you get a little bit of
22:04stock. Um and then the location is like
22:07paying for people to go there. So it's
22:09like advertising for that location. It's
22:10it's really cool idea. Outside of that,
22:12my bigger long-term holds, again that
22:14are not specifically on Robinhood chain,
22:15are Tao and AKT. These are like much,
22:18much, much bigger positions for me. I
22:20have really long-term conviction in Tao
22:22and AKT and just in general AI crypto
22:25intersection. In kind of the middle is
22:27RSC,
22:28Research Coin. I'm still a big believer
22:30in Research Coin. I don't think it's
22:31going to do well anytime soon, but I
22:33think as the market eats up, Brian
22:34Armstrong is the co-founder. DeSci is
22:36still a really interesting narrative
22:38that it just hasn't had a rotation in a
22:40while, but when it rotates back in, RSC
22:42is
22:42definitely going to be a frontrunner in
22:44my opinion. I still hold Avo and Infra,
22:46but I put them in a different bucket. I
22:48call it like my VC bucket. They're
22:49longer-term holds, but they're
22:51definitely like max, max risk. I also
22:54have Geode,
22:55which I really I do like Geode. They
22:57make real money. It's it's a good one,
22:58but I I've been thinking about selling
23:00it and putting it into Tao just cuz I'm
23:01such a big believer in
23:03in towel this cycle. It's like my
23:04Bitcoin for this cycle. And then lastly,
23:06I mentioned the rug cabal. And I really
23:09want to go into this cuz this is really
23:10important. If you're trading on
23:11Robinhood, you got to watch out for
23:13these guys because they are rugging left
23:15and right. They keep launching projects
23:17like every day and it's the same thing.
23:19It's so easy once you see it, but most
23:21people don't notice it. It's really
23:22compelling and they lose so much money.
23:24Um this is an example loan. I don't know
23:27for sure this is a rug, but this is the
23:28exact formula that that all the rugs are
23:31using. They launch um a new token. It
23:34sounds like a cool concept. They'll
23:35usually only have one post. It'll have a
23:38ridiculous amount of views and it'll
23:40have a really cool AI video that looks
23:42professionally made. You go to the site
23:45and it's usually going to have a really
23:47nice site, okay? It doesn't look like a
23:48vibe coded site. I would suspect it
23:50probably is made with AI, but it doesn't
23:52look like it. It looks like a really
23:54high quality website that is just
23:56amazing. And you go to it and everything
23:59about it is supposed to kind of trick
24:00you into like, "Wow, this is premium.
24:02This is high quality." It's just really
24:04easy to do these things today with AI
24:06and most people just don't realize it.
24:08Uh but yeah, this this one really sells
24:09it. It feels like the first meme bank.
24:12Um that is a compelling narrative. That
24:14sounds really cool. You're like, "I
24:16don't know what that is, but I want to
24:17own it, right?" And they're always
24:19really good at this. And then they
24:20always have some sort of waitlist.
24:23Sometimes it's email. Sometimes you sign
24:25up um here. Sometimes you click it and
24:28you go follow an X page. It's always a
24:30little bit different, but that's about
24:32the formula. Waitlist, really cool
24:34website. And there have been a ton of uh
24:37projects that have done this exact same
24:38formula. So, the first one, actually got
24:41into this one, Hot Pack. Um this is one
24:43of the first ones. You can see that they
24:44haven't posted anything since. They've
24:45since deleted their post, but it was the
24:47same exact concept. They had a really
24:48cool launch video, really cool website.
24:50Um the website is down now because it
24:52was a rug. You had Deed Estate. Kind of
24:55the same thing. You had a really cool
24:57launch video that looked really
24:58professional. And they first started out
25:00here.
25:01When originally launched, it was just a
25:03waitlist. Now the website's down, so you
25:05can see that that as well was a rug.
25:08And I'm sure they'll delete these posts
25:10soon, but it's basically the same thing.
25:12They build up a lot of hype. They get
25:13you in. It sounds really cool. Rented
25:16apartments held on chain. That sounds
25:18amazing, like something you'd want to
25:19buy. legs.fun.
25:22Same thing. Really cool AI generated
25:24launch video. They have, you know, a
25:27really beautiful website. This website,
25:29as far as I know, is still up. But you
25:31can see legs hasn't posted since
25:33September 4th. They went dark. They just
25:35stopped posting because the whole thing
25:37is getting people to buy the token,
25:39extracting as much as possible, and then
25:41leaving. This is Pink Sheets. This is
25:42the second one I fell for before I
25:44figured things out. Also,
25:47big crazy AI hype video. Same kind I
25:50hope you're really seeing the pattern.
25:52Sounds really cool. First
25:53over-the-counter trading desk on
25:54Robinhood. That sounds amazing, you
25:57know.
25:58Let's see, website's also down. Crumbs.
26:01Same thing. Really cool AI generated
26:03launch video.
26:05They got a website. The website is an
26:07amazing website. It looks beautiful. It
26:10looks like a really professionally made
26:13kind of VC product, right? But kind of
26:15same thing. The last post is September
26:179th. They they hyped it up, they
26:18launched, they extracted, and then
26:20they're out. This is allow.fun. They've
26:22since deleted all their stuff, but it
26:24was the exact same thing. Really cool
26:25launch video. Really cool website. Exact
26:28same formula. This is a new one coming
26:30out that I was highlighting. This is
26:32another scam. Really cool launch video.
26:35Looks professionally made. Really cool
26:38website. Launch Bliss. Browse coins. It
26:41looks like this is, you know, going to
26:42be the next big thing. You got to throw
26:44your money at it as quick as possible.
26:46But this, very likely, is another one of
26:48the scams because it's following the
26:50exact same form It like this just went
26:52live. Official contract is live.
26:54It'll probably go up at first because a
26:57lot of these KOLs are given money to buy
27:00into it, pump it up. And there there's a
27:02whole cabal of KOLs behind it. There is
27:05a whole cabal of these people that just
27:07rinse and repeat these launches. I
27:09highlighted that this one, whatever
27:10Wicker, is probably the same exact
27:12thing. It looks the same. You got the
27:14same kind of AI generated video
27:17promoting it, cool concept and app. I
27:20don't know for sure that this one and
27:21the other one are, but you can see the
27:23similarities and you can see why I would
27:25say, "Hey, this is definitely a
27:26potential rug." And this guy did a
27:28really good investigation into it where
27:29he actually tracked down a lot of these
27:31wallets. And he's identified a lot of
27:34these accounts that continually post
27:36these things. And usually the KOLs post
27:38something like, "Just found a very early
27:39Robinhood project that might be worth
27:41watching. A lot of mutuals on this
27:43thing." They'll amplify it and then, you
27:45know, it'll rug. And a lot of times
27:46they'll delete the post after. I don't
27:48know that everyone promoting it is in on
27:50the in on it. I don't know if some of
27:52them are just falling for it or not. Um
27:54but there there's definitely something
27:56going on. For sure some of these people
27:58are in on it. Like there's just no doubt
27:59in my mind that some of these people are
28:01in on it. I can't verify for myself who
28:03is or isn't, but if if you see people
28:06that are constantly promoting these kind
28:08of projects, I would for sure stay away
28:09from them because this is a rinse and
28:11repeat operation. I've had stupid
28:13projects I've gotten into myself. Uh
28:15usually when I get into it, I'll talk
28:17about it for like years, okay? I'm not
28:19It's not usually like rinse and repeat.
28:21I get the trenches are a little bit
28:22faster, but all these projects are they
28:24post for 2 weeks then they're gone. They
28:26have no intention of building any sort
28:27of product. They have no intention of
28:29doing anything other than extracting as
28:31much money. And then a lot of these
28:33influencers, every time they post about
28:35it, it's about the same thing that they
28:36say. They all sound about similar when
28:39they're posting about it. And this guy
28:40kind of outlines it. They'll post it
28:42here. They'll post it in their Telegram
28:43group. They'll do sort of like an
28:45organized talking about it to pump it up
28:47and then drop it off. And this guy's
28:49really big on X. Again, I don't know for
28:51sure he's in on it, but I have myself,
28:54um seen him promote uh
28:57multiple of these projects. Not just
28:59one, but like almost all of them, it
29:01feels like. And so, that's where I get
29:03really suspicious in saying, "Okay, if
29:04you're promoting all of them, like
29:06you're either really dumb, or you're
29:08definitely in on it." And if you're
29:09curious about seeing my entire
29:10portfolio, or you want to see every time
29:12I buy and sell various tokens, as well
29:13as different weekly video market
29:15updates. The Obsidian Council is
29:17currently closed to new members. And I
29:18know a lot of you guys have been asking,
29:20"When is the next time I'm going to be
29:22opening up the Obsidian Council?"
29:24Currently, the Obsidian Council is
29:25closed. I've not opened it up for the
29:27last year, but I am looking at possibly
29:29opening it up in the next few weeks to
29:32couple of months. So, if you're
29:34interested in joining, make sure to join
29:35the wait list in the description below.
29:37I'll be sending out notifications via
29:39that wait list if you want to get in.
29:41I'm only going to be opening up a
29:42certain amount of slots for the number
29:43of people that can jump into that. As
29:45always, none of this is investment
29:46advice. I'm obviously not your
