Speaker 1 (00:00):
Today we'll be diving into a panic by list, give
you a full rundown of what you should be looking
for in the markets.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
My name is Paul Barre. Welcome back into the show.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
I do want to thank our sponsor, and that is Tangent.
In fact, you'll be able to use your own self
custody wallet in some of the tokens that we're going
to reveal today. Go over and check out tangum dot com.
You guys, of course, can start your self custody journey.
This is something everybody in crypto, even if you're brand
new to crypto, try this. It gives you the capacity
of holding your own projects and your own assets right

(00:29):
there on your self custody wallet. Check it out use
our link down below. It's going to give you, guys
some additional discount to get going, and we always appreciate that.
All right, let's get into something we showed you guys
a little bit of time ago, and that was this
video right here. This was our emergency Dijon alt coin portfolio,
and I'm going to show you the performance of that.

(00:49):
We're going to actually show it to you later in
the show. Give you a full rundown of what you
could have done with that. And again, this is not
financial advice. What I'm about to show you don't go
out and do. This is something you should go out
and research and make your own decisions. So just remember
that when you're doing these things. One of the things
that we're going to be looking at is the fact
that we have got gaming and prediction markets leading the

(01:10):
way in this next round and possibly this all coin
run that we're going to see happen Ethereum holding it.
And this is basically what price will Ethereum hit in August.
Everybody pushing right now. If you look at the forty
eight percent on five thousand and everything above that, this
is a significant amount of people that believe we're going
to be going up from here on Ethereum in the

(01:32):
month of August. Here we are midway through August as
we're recording this video. With all that being said, you've
got to start looking at this right here, and this
is the amount of fud that we continue to see
going after Ethereum. This will play out like the games
dot AMC meme cycles. Ethereum just not happening. I'd give
it a month until the end of summer. Tech lead
don't follow his channel, by the way, and then go

(01:53):
over and take a look at what's happening on polymarket,
because this is something new and that is that polymarke.
It now has breaking news. This could be a news source, guys,
and it will start to give us some indicators. As
you guys know, the performance of poly market has been
pretty much spot on. Chane and his team have done
an amazing job at building a system that now everybody

(02:15):
is starting to use, including obviously that was revealed during
the elections last year. And I think that prediction markets
and gaming are actually the same thing. If you look
at the trends right now, prediction market and crypto gaming,
this is all the same thing because it's all gaming,
and that's what we're talking about, guys, Sports, gaming, collectibles,

(02:36):
all of that is now converging. And if you kind
of look at the interest over time starting to spike
right here in tandem both prediction markets and crypto gaming
at the same time.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Now, I want to go to a clip.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
This will show you a little bit more around poly
Market's effect on how things are happening in culture but
also in really everyday sports.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Take a look latest craze of the WNBA is to
go to the game and throw a green dildo on
the court, and America's loving it.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
And oh look out, something just came in till the floor.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
We got your kids in Chebby Cunningham loves it. Now.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
Polymarkets started doing dildo dailies. It got to a point
where the WNBA betting volume on dildo's actually surpassed bets on.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Who would win the games.

Speaker 5 (03:27):
You're a national hero.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
I am willing to put together the greatest legal defense
team since the OJ Simpson trial.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
They love crypto. They're currently around six hundred members. This
might actually help the WNBA. Some people are like, oh
my god, children are going to see the dildos. I'm like,
children are seeing the WNBA game.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
I for one, am all about this. I'm actually going
to start going to a lot of WNBA games.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Actually, I had no idea what the WNBA was either.

Speaker 6 (03:54):
WNBA, by the way, is a woman national basketball league
in the United States.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeah, fun fact for the day.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
So from that clip you can kind of get to
the point, and that is Polymarket has started to do something,
and that is shift culture. And when you look at
the sports industry, especially something like the WNBA WNBA, which
has had a struggle again, starts to showcase just the
strength of prediction markets in general. Let me go to
this point right here, and this is around treasury companies,

(04:20):
and you know about bitcoin and eve treasury companies, what
we've seen and the impact on this is another one,
a public con traded company called game Score Holdings that
is starting to go into strategic acquisitions on things like
a zookie, anime coin, et cetera. Point being is they're
going to do and I think many others will start
to go in this direction, which will drive because remember
it doesn't take much to move a token in the

(04:42):
gaming sector. And guess who that is. That's Tyler Blevins.
That's also the guy known as Ninja, one of the
biggest gamers out there. He is now on the board
over there as CIO. So this just goes back into
the point of how and what is going to be
happening around the crypto and gaming companies in general if
you look at what their whole holding. This is interesting
because it gets into everything from Ethereum, NFT Holdings. This

(05:06):
starts to change the analysis of how treasuries can affect markets.
This will move much more dramatically because of the assets
that it's starting to hold.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
That is a factor you have to consider. Now.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
The other thing I want you to pay attention to
are two blockchains and two projects that are highly underserved
right now. Both of them we talked about before, Flow
Blockchain and of course Polygon. There's many reasons why this
is happening. If you look at some of the defied
data right here on Polygon, you can see the active
addresses and also the stable coin market cap continues to explode.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
And there's a reason.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
This is of course Katana. This is on Polygon and
it is a vault. So I'll just go over to
the vault real quick. This is the kind of assets
that you can drop in there, so USDC steading in
there holding it right now, apy fifty percent on these payables.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
So this is an opportunity.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
I think when you look at how vaults are going
to play out in this market, and I think we're
going to see much more activity on these.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
This will be a big one to watch for sure.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
So let's look at flow scan new transactions right now
continuing to move up on Flow and there's a reason
for that as well.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Guess who that is guys.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
That is ESPN, and ESPN is launching something pretty big
and it's their direct to consumer service. All of this
is happening on August twenty first, and everybody probably knows
all this has been going on for quite some time,
but now the flip has occurred. And with that, you've
got to look at this NFL All Day and remember

(06:35):
NFL All Day running on Topper Labs, Papper Labs on Flow.
NFL Day is back and bigger than ever. So we've
got NFL season coming up and one of the things
they're talking about is launching an insanely interesting strategy which
is around social as a platform inside of NFL Day
all Day, So be on the lookout for that.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
I want to go to a clip real quick.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
This will get into where the NFL is going around
social network and take a look.

Speaker 6 (07:02):
To me the thing that I did not see coming,
which is that all Day is aiming to be the
quote unquote NFL's social network. You will be able to
get real time news from top NFL reporters directly in
your feed. You will never miss a great deal with
alerts on key marketplace transactions, and you will get game
updates and chase the moments as they happen. Never miss

(07:23):
a great deal with alerts on key marketplace transactions. Can
I put a price alert, give me you know, send
me a notification side.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Go by it.

Speaker 7 (07:32):
If somebody buys a moment, they're gonna like kind of
like blast that out, like, Hey, Sandy just bought a
legendary Josh Allen.

Speaker 6 (07:38):
Chasing the moments as they happen. That could be interesting.
That could be interesting. I mean, are we looking at
real time mints? Like are we looking at a real
time mint of moments or something?

Speaker 3 (07:48):
Here?

Speaker 7 (07:48):
When people are watching during game day, it's like they
want you to be on NFL all day and like Instay.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Now, okay, think about crypto Twitter. If you guys are
watching our channel, you know how big crypto Twitter is
if you apply social into another rabid fan base like
the NFL and like sports in general. NFL All Day
is a good example. Here's the example of the app itself.
Game changing ways to compete. You've got playbook in there.

(08:16):
Look at this though. We get into some very interesting
elements within this. But what's missing here is what we'll
see coming soon and I think that is going to
be prediction markets. That is going to lead to some
other areas that will play within this that we'll start
to see fantasy vaults, and I'll explain that in a
second because it gets into some interesting points.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Watch this clip.

Speaker 5 (08:36):
If you've ever played fantasy sports before, you know that
collecting and paying out dues can be a real pain.
You have to trust the lead commissioner, which could be
up to eight months. We store all the money in
smart contract. In the future, we'll be able to generate
interest via yield sharing vaults. Basically, we'll have public vaults
that people can join if they choose to. But if

(08:57):
you want to have a private league, that's fine to
only be able to see and join links that you
send via a link to your friends.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
All right, So think about that. You connect a wallet,
you're able to participate in a fantasy league. You're able
to drop the money in there earn yield within that
because your money is in the vault before it goes
out into the payout. This will change how fantasy sports
has been done. I think this is something to pay
attention to as well. And again we'll get into all that.
But another thing I want you to take a look

(09:25):
at is courtyard. This is where we get into collectibles.
Look at the amount of daily transactions continuing to skyrocket
here and if you guys don't know, Courtyard riding on Polygon,
this is the home of real world assets. And if
you look at poly trade in general, this starts to
get into the whole ecosystem of how what could be
the next generation of collectibles and this is something that

(09:46):
again Polygon is a big part of this. Now, this
is a very interesting scenario that's playing out right now.
This of course is chargeard capital. This isn't a good
example of how collectibles are being built as strategic reserves.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Now think about this for a secon.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Let me jump over to a collectible group right here.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
This of course is busy.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
What they're going out and doing is buying real world assets.
These are collectible and tradable Pokemon cars that are worth
millions in some cases. But the point is they're putting
those into this strategic reserve and then they're putting a
token behind it, and that is when you get into
this token called Zart. We're, of course on deck screener,
not telling you to go out and buy this, but
I want you to pay attention here because the way

(10:25):
that this is going to work.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Is these assets.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
How they're gaining reserve assets, is they're building this off
of the profits they're made within this. So this is
all going to build back into the strategic reserve. Watch
the token Zard as we go forward. Now, if you
want to get zard, you can get it out there
on Solana, or you can go over and actually get
it on flow. With flow, it's going to unlock a
lot of these keys, these daily keys. This is another
thing because it does drive token price. We've watched this

(10:50):
happen on some charts out there, So just pay, you know,
and if you're you know, if you're lazy and you
kind of want to say a bad way, But if
you just want something easier, get it on Slana. If
you want to and some additional juice, then of course
get into the Flow ecosystem.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Let's jump over to Salana.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
This is another thing that's happening, and that is we
are going to see a lot of DAPs starting to
develop even faster. Remember, the seeker is starting to land.
Hopefully it's going to land here quicker. But because there's
a lot of people complaining about that. But the point
is is we are seeing a lot of DAPs being
built right now, and one of the things is going
to be DAPs that will open up the opportunity for vaults.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
Now, this is interesting because this is a step wallet.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
The point is is notice that that you can get
that on the DAP store. And the cool thing about
this is you to be able to go in and
deal with these potential vaults. Vaults are a little bit
tricky right now. This will give you the potential of
doing a one click entry and that I think is
and might be the thing that starts to really energize
a lot of the volume in these vaults. Remember we

(11:51):
saw that earlier on Katana. High yields on these even
with things like USDC, if you want to get a
little bit further into it, you can pair it up
with other tokens. A lot of opportunity there for sure.
Let's go to another one right here, and of course
this is pengu You've got Matt Gates out there starting
to draw more attention to pengu and this is the
kind of the attention economy Luca nets We're gonna try
to get him on the show soon. This is another

(12:13):
one to keep an eye on. We've talked about it
many times. And with pengu there's a couple of points
behind this, and this is all about how well they
are doing in terms of marketing front of lobe attention.
And I think that's a big deal that is going
to drive pengu continuously up the charts. Don't forget, guys,
They're getting ready to launch a game as well, and this,

(12:34):
of course is going to be the Pudgy Party. The
Pudgy Penguin's Army is absolutely going to make sure that
Pudgie Party is the number one game out there on
the apps. And I think this is the thing that
will continue to draw attention.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
To all of this.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Now remember now remember Pudge Party on Mythos, so Mythos
of course alive on base. You guys can get liquidity
over on Aerodrome. We've talked about Aerodrome as well. You know,
let's go over to Wall Street for a second and
we'll take a look at our co invests because typically
what you see with you know, Wall Street is you know,
you know, it's the typical suspects there, neurallink, lambed Labs,

(13:07):
open AI, replet These are early stage funds, by the way,
and then look here at the bottom, well, well, well
a private company called Mythical, and this, of course is
Kathy would pay attention, guys. People are watching how all
this is coming together, and I think people are paying
attention now finally because we're in the right place, I
think at the right time. Ubisoft is now alive on

(13:28):
Immutable not necessarily the one I'm telling you to go after,
this is Polygon. This is a Polygon play. Move up
the chain and get Polygon. That will be the one
to watch, even though the price isn't necessarily representing it.
Right now, this panic by is the time to take
a look. Other things that could be happening is coming
soon and that is sweet. Play of course is getting revealed,

(13:50):
I should say, not revealed, but going to be doing
some things over at games Con.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Now notice the date here.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
This is August twentieth to twenty fourth, remember ESPN August
twenty first. So there's probably going to be something that
is tied into this because you've got all these apps.
You've got, of course what we'll see in the fantasy
side of the business, and you've got sports betting, predicting, March.
All this stuff is coming together right now, guys. It
is a big one. If you look at Trump. Guess

(14:18):
what token he's holding. Guys, that's right, Maddick is one
of his top holdings. He knows what's up because he's
got his trading cards on it. He understands this is
going to continue to be.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
A big push forward.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Last couple of things I want you to pay attention
to is Robin Hood's stable coin USDG. Now many people
are still speculating as to where this is going to launch.
We think it's going to happen right here. We believe
it's going to happen on Polygon. And this is why
you're going to see Polygon listed on robin Hood. You'll
see the next leg up. Watch for this one, guys,

(14:50):
it's a big one. Let's go over to the portfolio
and show you what that video that we showed earlier
in the very beginning of the show. This video right here,
that emergency Dijon all coin portfolio. Let's go find out
how we did. And there we are. So Polygon was
the one. July eleventh was our date of purchasing. We
had Jupiter, Helium, anime game token, bluefin Atlas, then we

(15:13):
had byte Ai and Hit Hit Decks, all of which
these are the max gains. These were the number of
days you had to reach. The one loser we had
was game token and overall heavy performance. Of course hit
Decks was the big one. Took three days, twelve hundred percent.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
It was a nice move.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
Other ones that we had that were member bonuses, meaning
if you're in our Diamond circlere in some of our
member programs, we gave you these, which was flow, Hydration,
doodles over the reality, and also fix. So all those
continued in the same period of time eleven thirteen, ten days.
Those are the kind of gains that we were able
to gain there. Now, what are we going to say,

(15:50):
let's go out and do today, Well, these are the
ones that we're looking at. Of course Solana could be
because of the retracement polygon we believe is a no brainer.
It's going to happen. Penga we still hold very strongly.
Flow we think is there, and then of course Mythos
and then tzard is the token to watch there. Because
of these token is or should say, these securities that
are going to start to hold real world assets out there,

(16:12):
We're going to have some secret bonus picks available for
you guys.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
That's coming.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
That's this black area right here, but we're not going
to tell you what that is just yet. But we're
going to bring another video to you and get those
into you so you'll get a chance to see how
we're playing the market and what kind of research we're doing.
Make sure if you're not in the diamond circle right now,
that shows you you should be. It's the number one
place to get additional content from us, and follow me
out there on X at Paul Baron. We'll catch you

(16:37):
next time right here on The Paul Baron Show.
