Speaker 1 (00:46):
All right, guys.
Thank you so much and welcome.
This is Stephan Toscano withthe Stephan Toscano Podcast,
aptly named.
Merry Christmas y'all.
I just wanted to hop on realquick here and I'm in an Airbnb
right now but wanted to just hopon for a couple of minutes and
thank everybody for joining usand for all your support in 2024
(01:07):
and being part of our network.
It's really been an incredibleyear.
It's all so much because of youpeople in my network partners
that have supported this showand all of our efforts on the
real estate and the investmentside.
It really has been a lot of fun, so I'm very grateful for you.
If you're a listener and youhave not yet subscribed on Apple
(01:28):
Podcasts or Spotify, we'dreally appreciate your support
there.
Everybody on Player FM you guysare all rock stars, I don't
need to tell you because that'swhere we, for whatever reason,
we're kind of blowing up inPlayer FM there, which is the
number one podcast app I guessyou'd call it for Androids,
which is cool, and then for allyou guys and gals on Player FM.
(01:50):
If you'd like to engage with usin a more direct way, please
check out our YouTube channel aswell.
You can go to the company page,which is at Vacation Wealth
Partners, or my personal YouTube, which is just at Stephan
Piscano.
You'll see a lot of the stuffwe do from an investment
standpoint there some fun gameswe play with some of the
(02:10):
vacation rentals we own, and Iget to see my silly self and the
cool people that we interviewon camera as well, if you're
into that kind of thing.
But more importantly, guys,again, it's a special time of
year for me, and not only toChristmas here, but going into
the close of any year and thestart of the next year.
(02:30):
It's really a time of gratitude, a time of planning, a time to
really connect with yourself,look back at all of our
accomplishments and things thatwent well in 2024, that we want
to hopefully be blessed tocontinue in 2025 and beyond, and
look back at the things that wecould have done better and try
(02:51):
to improve upon that.
And so for me, this will bekind of the last full work day
of the year, and I just wantedto share it with you before I go
off into my little cocoon andstart prepping for the new.
I wanted to update you on, ifyou listen to either, our
(03:14):
election special episode that wedid on November 5th election
night, or if you listen to ourupdate check-in, which I believe
went live oh gosh, probablyDecember 2nd somewhere around
there.
We're pretty hot with ourpredictions here, guys.
We're pretty hot with ourpredictions here, guys.
We're hitting the target bothon precious metals and Bitcoin
(03:39):
and the stock market as well.
We're seeing Bitcoin.
We told you back on November 5ththat we expected a huge boom in
Bitcoin coin.
We saw that literally the dayafter the election go from in
the high 60,000 range 67, 68,000per coin, all the way up to as
(04:04):
high as 106,000.
And then, when we updated youon our predictions back on
December 2nd so now about 25, 26days ago, as I record this we
told you then that we thought,if it was me, I'd probably sell,
take some of those profits, andeven though I do believe in
cryptocurrency long term and Ido think it's going to continue
to go higher as years go on,that seemed like a little bit of
(04:26):
an exaggeration and there wasgoing to be an opportunity to
take those profits.
And then, if you wanted to buyback in, buy back in on the dip
in that 80 to 90,000 range, oreven potentially lower than that
, because it's just the mostvolatile thing still that I've
ever seen, and then, right afterwe recorded that, it popped up
for another week or so, wentfrom 100,000 at the time we
(04:47):
recorded that up to about 106,like I said and it dipped all
the way back down to 91,000 justa week or so after that and now
we're hovering at the time Irecord this $94,000 per Bitcoin
range.
So I still think there's moreroom to go on the dip.
That's my two cents as somebodythat's been burned by buying at
(05:14):
the wrong time incryptocurrency in pretty much
every boom cycle that we've had.
Me personally, while again Isupport it, I wouldn't be
surprised if it was $200,000 bythe end of the year.
Next year, the number it wouldhave to get to for me to buy
would be in the $60,000 range,which is possible.
(05:34):
I don't think it's likely, butit is possible that it'll have
another correction, like itoften does after a huge boom and
then shoot back up, and itseems like when it does shoot
back up, then it gets into thattwo to 400% or even higher range
from there.
So that's my Bitcoin update foryou.
(05:55):
Another fun thing I wanted totell you, just as a thank you to
all of you guys that havelistened and supported this
podcast.
You can see on the screen here,if you're on YouTube, the link
to StephanPascanoPropertiescom.
These are properties thateither I myself personally own
or manage or the partnershipgroup owns or manages.
We've got luxury vacationrentals all around the country
(06:20):
and hopefully in 2025, we'rehopefully going to be expanding
into some international stuff aswell.
That's been on the radar for alittle bit, but if you go to the
website this is my specialpresent for any of you travelers
out there if you're a partnerwith us, you already get this
benefit for free as part of yourpartnership.
(06:40):
But anybody that goes to thiswebsite
stephenpiscotopropertiescom ifyou're not on youtube and you
can't see it, go here, click.
I'm going to show you, clickthe book, your stay today.
Little button there.
The website's not very prettybut it gets the job done.
That'll take you to our airbnbpage.
You can see uh reese listed asthe host, who's our office
(07:04):
manager, and if you pick anyproperty that's on the airbnb,
select the dates that you'd liketo book and then message the
host.
With the promo podcast, we'regoing to give you a 30% discount
on anything that you want tobook anytime, even peak season.
(07:26):
So that's my present to you, mythank you to you guys.
It's also a cool way to getsome exposure for the properties
and get some benefits there.
A cool way to get some exposurefor the properties and get some
benefits there.
So just wanted to do somethingsmall and special from my group
to yours to thank you for allyou do and try to encourage
travel in 2025.
I really hope, pray and believethat 2025 is going to be a
(07:48):
blessed and prosperous year forus.
I think the markets are in anexciting place that we really
haven't seen in a little bithere, to where we've got all
these cool factors of rapidinflation that still need to
take place.
But we've got an optimism aboutthe economy and about the
markets that we haven't seen ina while and I believe it's going
to mesh together in a specialway that's really going to
(08:09):
create some fun opportunitiesfor us as investors.
So I want to encourage you overthe next week to really be
mindful of what your goals arefor 2025, not only financially,
but just personally as well, anda lot of times and you've heard
me talk about this and peopleon the show talk about this that
(08:30):
I respect as well when I askedthem successful entrepreneurs,
what does it take to besuccessful?
And the common theme that I'vealways believed and that I'm
hearing more and more frompeople that have been successful
, is do everything for a greaterpurpose.
And it's funny to me how a lotof people have asked me well,
how do you do this?
How do you be successful?
How do I get this?
You know X, Y, z, and I alwayssay the same thing.
(08:53):
First you got to be passionateabout whatever you're doing, and
then you have to have a purposethat's greater than you to
worry about, to focus on, justlike Matthew Lesko said those
exact words when he was on thepodcast about a month and a half
ago here, if you are focused onthe end result, then all of the
(09:13):
processes to get to that endresult will be so much more
enjoyable.
So the reason I bring that up isis we're talking about what we
want to focus on in 2025.
A lot of times it starts in themost simplistic ways about what
do you enjoy the most, what areyou neglecting within yourself,
what are you nurturing withinyourself, and what do you want
(09:34):
to spend more effort on foryourself personally?
And then everything elsebecomes a mechanism to help get
there.
So, anyway, guys, I would loveto ramble at you more but, like
I said, I'm doing this one aboutas old school as I possibly can
and I genuinely just wanted tohop on for 11, 12 minutes from
my family to yours.
(09:55):
Say Merry Christmas.
May 2025 be a blessed,prosperous, healthy year for all
of us and anyone that wouldlike to reach out to me or
connect with us and learn moreabout some of the exciting
things we're going to be doingwith the podcast and with
Vacation Wealth Partners in thecoming months and years.
Feel free to email me, stephan,at StephanToscanocom.
(10:17):
But again, guys, sincerelythank you very, very much for
the thousands of you thatsomehow have taken the time to
listen to my weird accent andall of my alms and support this
show.
It really does mean a lot.
So thanks so much and we'll seeyou in 2025.
