So let's just get right into the markets, uh, for today.There's a lot of cool stuff that I want to talk about. Um, and I want to switch the camera angles so you could see my full screen here. Okay. So what has been going on, uh, on today's market? Boom, like button click initiate. Thank you, Maxwell. Um, okay, so I'm just going to go over, uh, what, what I think is interesting until you guys drop some projects for me to look at and the chat.Um, but we see a theme has been moving sideways a little bit. Uh, these, these are the hourly candles here and for the past, you know, maybe day, day and a half, uh, we've been kind of cooling off usually in the first half of the week. Uh, we, okay. Screen is too small. I can, I can fix that. What if I do one of those joints?Boom, just like that. Okay, cool. Uh, so hopefully you guys can see that a little bit better now. Um, as you can see. So the second half of the week, the later half of the week, crypto usually cools off a little bit and the first half is really when it's ripping. So, you know, going into the weekend, the close, uh, of all of the, uh, you know, the Bitcoin futures, ETF and all these, uh, OTC market traded products.Uh, it's just a little, usually a little bit quieter, but, you know, uh, okay. So we see Bitcoin has, has not been. Anything really interesting. These are the daily candles it's been moving sideways for quite quite a long time. Now, almost a week. It's kind of range-bound between, you know, this, uh, previous all-time high resistance.Uh, and then this support that we have around 59,000 that came from, you know, much, much earlier in the year. Um, so let me know what you guys think is Bitcoin or ether going to take off first? Are we going to see. Uh, you know, it starts to take over and really control the market cycle because we've seen eith at three new all-time highs, whereas Bitcoin has only done one so far.So, you know, is this, is this signaling the beginning of the flipping? Uh, we'll have to see, but let me know what you guys think in the chat below. Uh, so back to. You know, the top 100 overview, uh, some exciting news happened this week. Solana has finally flipped car Dano. Uh, I think this has been a long time coming.If you, if you've been tuning into Mooner bus before you guys know that we, you know, we really prioritize on chain transactions in the ecosystem around these, these competitor blockchains. So we see a ton of stuff going on on Solana and Ethereum, but not too much has been happening in the Cardona ecosystem.Uh, despite that the market cap has been over $60 billion for quite some time now, but Solanas is finally catching up, uh, $71 billion market cap. Now it's really taken a firm lead distance itself from car Dano. Uh, and that's pretty exciting. So if you guys are looking into Solano ecosystem, let me know, and I can talk about some projects that I'm looking at in the ecosystem, uh, and maybe take a look at some of the projects you guys are looking at as well.Uh, Boom. Okay. So we got to chat here from sneaky won. He won one of the giveaways for the swag and he is repping letting us know that it is quality. I can confirm myself as well as I did make the hat. I did design it and create it myself. So, uh, head on over to swag.benzinga.com and you can see the full lineup of our products.We got that. No chat, you centralize everything. We got to get technical shirt. Benzinga news, go Burr. We got tons of dope stuff. And then here is all of your crypto, alright. Back to the markets. So we see ripple, uh, is up 7% on the week. This one's kind of interesting. Uh, it looks like there. The lawsuit with the sec might be coming to a close.And I think ripple is the winner here. You know, the sec might slap them with a fine try to make it look like they won, but they did not rule ripple as a security. So we might see it start trading on U S exchanges again pretty soon. And I think that is the main driver of this price increase over the past week.I also heard some news about a ERC 20 wrapped version of ripple, uh, that, you know, despite whatever legal issues are going on, this wrapped token is kind of a loophole in the current law. So we might see Coinbase, uh, you know, list the wrapped version of ripple ERC 20 based, and that would allow us investors to get, uh, exposure to ripple once again.So pretty bullish, uh, news going on for ripple. Uh, let me know your price target. And if you guys are trading it down below, we also see polka dot ha has finally gotten a little bit of shine. I've been calling this one for a while. Um, it's been, you know, very undervalued compared to the rest of the smart contract blockchains.I mean, if you take a look at Cardinal versus polka dot, so let's just break it down. Both of them were started by theory. Co-founders okay. Cardona was started by Charles Hoskinson the motivational speaker. Uh, that's a joke. And then poke it out was started by Gavin wood. Gavin wood is actually the co-founder of Ethereum that I would prefer to place my bets on as he was the one who created the Ethereum virtual machine.He created solidity himself. Uh, so he was really one of the biggest builders of, uh, you know, Ethereum. And I think that that will make his, his project polka dot much more successful longterm and polka.is more focused on connecting blockchains, becoming an interoperability protocol. Um, and for that reason, I see a more bullish future for polka dot than cardiac.Uh, you know, most definitely, maybe even, maybe even Solano on some of these other projects, it has been pretty slept on though. The technology is kind of advanced. It's more of a fundamental play, which, you know, doesn't really take priority in a bull market. Uh, as you can see, you know, memes, hype speculation take priority in a bull market.And that is why this, uh, beats here dog meme, uh, has a $30 billion market cap. But, uh, yeah. So poke it out up 16%. We're going to keep our eyes on that. Uh, let's see, what do we got here in the chat? Uh, Yoshi wants to take a look at BTC and rich says Eve moves first, and then she, that's very interesting. I'm curious to hear more about that, but we did take a short look at Bitcoin, but we could take another look.Uh, so you can see here, I've had these lines going for a really long time. You may have seen them before, but basically, uh, I drew this triangle here, uh, and it turned out to be pretty decent as soon as we broke above the triangle right here. Uh, you know, I speculated maybe this green line could be our path to the top.And what do you know over the next two weeks? It literally wrote it. Exactly. And I, I basically just got lucky, you know, all indicators are wrong, but some might be helpful. Um, I definitely like to point out the, these lines of resistance and support. I think that those are kind of good tools for saying, okay, if it breaks up here, uh, you know, this is where we might go, or if it breaks down, this is where we might go.We just want to know the levels to look out for, uh, and be ready to react based on what might happen.What's up Hadid. I see you out there in the chat. Welcome back. Appreciate you tuning in once again. And if you're just joining the stream, this is moon or bust your home for all things. Alt coins and DFI drop the coins you're looking at in the chat. And while you're down there, make sure to smash that like button, send it to the moon.All right. Back to the charts. So we might've talked about this on Monday show, uh, but I think it's worth going over one more time. So you guys saw Facebook announced their name, change to Metta. They're trying to pivot to the metaverse and that has sent a couple of these metaverse cryptocurrencies, like literally straight to the moon.So if we go, uh, take a look at decentral and this is one of the biggest and, and currently active, uh, metaverse blockchain applications right now and on the let's see, where can we see the seven. It's ranked number 41. So I'll just scroll down to boom. On the seven day decentral land is up 121%. Uh, it got to like almost $4.Now it's back under three. Um, I think that this is, you know, it could be a good play long-term, but I'm looking at some of the other, uh, metaverse plays that haven't quite blown up yet. And one of them that I want to point out to you guys is a little project on Solana called star Atlas. Uh, Let me know in the chat, if you've heard of star Atlas before.Um, but this is one that I'm insanely bullish on. I have been for a long time, I picked up some tokens earlier this summer, and basically I'm just forgetting about them for the time being, I think start less could be a huge, huge project, uh, you know, 10 years from now and, you know, picking up. Piece while it's the 264th biggest crypto.Uh, I think it might be a good idea. So star Atlas basically is like an open world, blockchain game think like GTA and star wars combined. Okay. So you can form guilds, you can buy planets. All of these are represented by NFTs on the salon of blockchain. And you can also form guilds like interplanetary, guilds, and team up with your friends, battle against other guilds and steal their NFTs.Uh, I think this is just a sweet concept. Um, and SPF himself, uh, sandbank been freed, the owner of FTX. Uh, he says that the team behind star, you continues to impress him. And, you know, I trust SPF. He, uh, has done nothing but write for my portfolio so far. So I'm going to continue, uh, to hold this Atlas token.Let me know what you guys think of Atlas. And if there's any other metaverse plays you are looking at right now, uh, another Solano ecosystem project that I think is interesting is radium. So this is a decentralized exchange on Solana, and it's one of the most popular, if not the most popular. And I have some of these tokens as well.I picked them up around the same time as Atlas earlier this summer. And I'm probably just going to ride it out, you know? Um, I want it to hold some Solano, but I figured I could get more exposure to the salon ecosystem by, you know, diversifying my funds into these smaller tokens. Then once, once more people start using Solano, realize what it is, they'll eventually find their way to these protocols.So that's my thesis there. Mush wants to know if I have any. Man up predictions. So, you know, from a price standpoint, Manoj is really hot right now. Um, and that could mean two things that could mean that it's about to cool off soon. And it could also mean that this is going to be seen as like the blue chip metaverse play for crypto.So the hype could be just starting in my opinion. Uh, but it's also kind of risky to buy in right now, just based off of the recent price action, uh, and the hype surrounding the metaverse. I think that if you're planning to hold, you know, for at least six months, it's probably going to work out for you. Um, but you know, always, always keep that risk reward in mind.We see a fully diluted market cap of $6 billion right now for decentral land. And obviously Facebook or Meadows market cap is much higher than that. And we'll see who ends up, uh, you know, having the better product longterm. All right. Let's see. Max wants to take a look at C R O so we will do that. And then pretty soon here, we will be doing our first interview on today's show.Uh, and you guys don't want to miss it. Okay. So CRO is crypto.com. The exchanges coins kind of like BNB, for example, uh, except crypto.com has a few interesting features that aren't offered by Binance and their token, uh, is used to support those. So one of the things that I think is pretty cool from them, uh, are their visa, cryptocurrency credit card.So you can actually earn a cash back in crypto in CRO, uh, with these credit cards by staking their CRO token. So let's say you want to ball out, you stake 400,000 CRO tokens. This will get you the obsidian card and the obsidian card gets you access to the private jet partnership. So if you're balling out, uh, with that CRO, uh, you could really take advantage of it.If you got in early, especially then, you know, you, you could probably get some nice perks. Pretty cheap. Uh, I personally don't have one of these, but I know some people who do they like them. Uh, and I think that they're only going to get better with time, but yeah, let's take a look at the price of CRO year to date.Oh, wow. I did not realize it was taking off, like that's up 40% today alone. That's pretty crazy. I mean, we're seeing crypto.com uh, you know, launch a bunch of new advertising campaigns, uh, and, you know, get those sponsorships l…
