A lot of people think podcasts about work are boring, and sure, they definitely can be. But understanding a professional's routine shows us how they achieve their success little by little, day after day. It's like banking with PNC Bank. It might seem boring to save, plan, and make calculated decisions with your bank, but keeping your money boring is what helps you live a more happily fulfilled life. PNC Bank, brilliantly boring since 1865.

3:05Brilliantly boring since 1865 is a service mark of the PNC Financial Service Group, Inc. PNC Bank, National Association member, FDIC. Bitcoin. So, interesting. $92 ,000 right now. and it's been dropping steadily um so just passed the death cross uh two days ago i think so bitcoin is interesting if you really think about it because it's the only investment that we actually know what's going to happen tell me more oh because it has like if you follow history of the bitcoin it has four-year cycles right so you can like as an exercise anybody at home you can Next chat, GBT, the four-year cycles of Bitcoin, when the next bear market will come, previous bear market.

3:56So it works in cycles. Now, anything can happen in the future, but it's always repeated the same cycle. No other investment has ever done that. You can't say, okay, we know that NVIDIA is going to do good for four years and it's going to be flat for two years and it's going to spike. We know that Bitcoin works in a four-year cycle. it drops very drastically almost 70 to 80 percent previously that's what it that's what it has done um follows the halving so like even if you follow it like the bear the bear market is supposed to start next year but some some say the bear market has already started which would be an early early start but it was it was going to start there's there's a almost 100 chance that bitcoin is going drop drastically next year if you follow what historically has happened so everybody knows well if you study everybody knows that that bitcoin is going to drop like that's that's kind of like a cheat code almost if you really think about it because we know we know what's going to happen now the the variables is exactly when it will drop exactly how much it will drop I can tell you that, but we're a team.

5:07Come on. Maybe next week. So now the question is like, okay, is this the start of the – or are we already in the bear market, or is this a short-term reset, and then we're going to push higher at the end of the year, and then next year it's going to fall. But it's going to fall. And even I asked Chief ChadGBT just to kind of get ChadGBT's perspective on it. and like it how it's supposed to fall following traditional bitcoins is it's supposed to go to 30 or 40 000 because that's 70 is 75 drop that's what it has done historically but most people don't think that it'll fall that far because the institutional backing now that it didn't have before so the institutional backing up will have it around 50 60 000 um what it'll drop to but no matter what how you look at it is gonna drop but it's already been dropping so now everybody it's it's a it's a panic because um it's down pretty pretty heavily and then all the bitcoin related stocks we'll talk about that microstrategy and and a few others those are down and then of course since bitcoin is down the etfs is down and then whenever bitcoin goes down then the altcoin market goes down also so the altcoins are down xrp and solana and all and all of that so now the the The main question is now, we know that Bitcoin is going to have a bear market.

6:35Is this the bear market? Because if this is the bear market, then the intelligent thing to do would just be to wait. Because if this is the bear market,$90 ,000 is not a good price to buy because it's going to go lower than$90 ,000. So the only question now is, are we in a bear market? And if we are in a bear market... What if mind control is real? If you could control the behavior of anybody around you, what kind of life would you have? Can you hypnotically persuade someone to buy a car? When you look at your car, you're going to become overwhelmed with such good feelings. Can you hypnotize someone into sleeping with you?

7:13I gave her some suggestions to be sexually aroused. Can you get someone to join your cult? NLP was used on me to access my subconscious. NLP, aka Neuro Linguistic Programming, is a blend of hypnosis, linguistics, and psychology. Fans say it's like finally getting a user manual for your brain. It's about engineering consciousness. Mind Games is the story of NLP. It's crazy cast of disciples and the fake doctor who invented it at a New Age commune and sold it to guys in suits. He stood trial for murder and got acquitted. The biggest mind game of all? NLP might actually work. This is wild. Listen to Mind Games on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey there, this is Dr. Jesse Mills, director of the men's clinic at UCLA Health and host of the Mailroom Podcast. Each January, guys everywhere make the same resolutions. Get stronger, work harder, fix what's broken.

9:11But what if the real work isn't physical at all? To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Poulter, a psychologist with over 30 years experience, helping men unpack shame, anxiety, and emotional pain they were never taught to name. In a powerful two-part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain sight, and how real strength comes from listening to yourself and to others. Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved. Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy and some compassion.

9:58This season on Dear Chelsea with me, Chelsea Handler, we've got some incredible guests like Kumail Nanjiani. Let's start with your cat. How is she? She is not with us anymore.

If you feel something like that, you have that fire in you for this experience. It's not for a guy. It's for the experience of being in love and like it's bigger than a guy. Elizabeth Olsen. I love swimming naked so much. And I know you love taking pictures of yourself naked.

10:34Yes, I love to be naked. I just want to be in my brown underwear all the time. Ross Matthews. You know what kids always say to me? Are you a boy or a girl? Oh my God. All the time. That's so funny. I know. So I'm always like, hi. I try to butch it up for kids, you know, so they're not confused. Yeah, but you're butching it up. It's basically like Doris Day. No, I turn into Bea Arthur. Listen to these episodes of Dear Chelsea on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And bear markets for crypto usually last. That's another thing. We know how long the bear market lasts, 12 to 18 months.

11:08so it's not a short run once the bear market hits we're looking at like 2027 end of 2027 for a full recover to all time but another thing that we do know about Bitcoin is that it always goes up so history has shown us that that's what I'm saying so we know that in 2028 2029 is going to be higher than what it is now but all of these things lead to a pessimistic outlook for Bitcoin for the next foreseeable future unless we get an end of year pump and that could potentially change it for the short term so are we going to get an end of year pump or are we just got to just ride this out for the 2027 I'll answer both Meek Mill, Rick Ross one of my favorite songs, don't panic don't panic now's not the time to panic the notion of value or like true value of what we could get back to the April lows of like 77 ,453.

12:12Last month, I did tell you we was going to slide into these 90s. Now is not the time to panic. I understand there's a lot of people who are saying the 30 and 40 ,000 price range for Bitcoin. Remember last year or early this year, I said Michael Saylor needs to be very careful because the only thing that i think would drive that price that low is if they want to get him out of that seat that he's in i think that he has a plan to to work that regardless but i don't think we'll get to 30s and 40s should you pick up some at 77 and some change yes pricer and stock club uh worst case scenario i have this going to uh say 50.

12:59nah i'll say my number and then you agree 50 i'll see you with the hope 53s i had it i had it at 60 63 to 67. yeah 53 524 worst case you're going lower than that but and here's the thing as an investor i'm not saying absolutely we'll go to for those you know but please write this down you want to assume the worst cases basis first not the best case a lot of you are panicking because you bought it last week or two weeks ago you should have bought the majority in april and in addition with the habit cycles some want to be the preeminent force in crypto because they've seen his plan work i kept saying i hope that he doesn't become the new kathy wood but when the institution going back to the program conversation when they want the strategy and the ip to use it for their own devices they're going to find a way to to do so um also too if we're going to have a cyclical downturn and every now we're back to risk on maybe there will be some flushing out but i want to be very clear it's a mistake if you are a believer in it to get rid of it now um too many people ask should i sell what i have now and wait to get in continue to buy now the mistake that i think sailor made is that he kept buying at any price the price where you buy an asset matters a hell of a lot but worst case scenarios 53 but if you believe in it we can have a a nice bump and i think at the right price definitely at 50s and at 65 the institutional the saudi fund it's too many big players that will absorb um the coins at that price yeah that's what i said i was looking at the charts yesterday i had it around 67 um yeah i mean if you i'll use the phrase that history shows us rather than than kind of what you were saying that we know because somebody was like oh they no history has shown us that um in these cycles specifically what shawty was saying it was like there's four phases right now based on everything we've seen that we're in phase three and so here's some things some key indicators that you should find in in phase three which is like six to 18 months after having like we saw having happened last april so we're right mid uh mid cycle uh sharp corrections and i don't know if we've had a sharp one yet it just feels like a pullback but consolidation is that next piece and so that means you'll start to see it move sideways right so if it's at 80.

15:37definitely sharp 30 drop well we've seen steep i'm saying for crypto we've seen that go down to 70 correction correction is not 70 that's a that's a fall if it's in the definition of correction it's even still consolidate it's collapsed though yeah that's not but that's what i'm saying we we can't even use collapse in in terms of bitcoin because we but that's what it does because the correction it's in it's in correction mode right now i'm when i'm saying correction i don't want to confuse it when we're talking stocks right because bitcoin the way that it moves its volatility is is very different earners what's up you ever walk into a small business and everything just works like the checkout is fast the receipts are digital tipping is a breeze and you're out the door before the line even builds odds are they're using square we love supporting businesses that run on square because it just feels seamless whether it's a local coffee shop a vendor at a pop-up market or even one of our merch partners square makes it easy for them to take payments manage inventory and run their business with confidence all from one simple system one of the things we love most is seeing neighborhood businesses level up there's this west indian spot right in our community that started with a small takeout counter now with square they've been able to expand into a full sit-down restaurant and even started catering events across the city that's the kind of growth that inspires us and it's powered by square square is built for all types of businesses from the corner bagel shop that turned into a local chain, to the specialty market with thousands of unique items, to the stylist who's been holding you down for years.
