[Music] all right what is that banjo and welcome in today's today's edition of in the game i am your host hustle and as always we'll be diving into the crypto gaming landscape and markets today as there is a pivotal event across crypto this week obviously unless you're living under a rock or if you're new to the industry the eth merge is right around the corner this week the eth merge will take place and that that is a massive catalyst in the market i'm going to show you proof in the pudding of the last couple of events that have triggered massive massive by the rumors sell the news events and why i think if the eth merge is no different and one of the only catalysts propping up this market at this time and why i think patience will pay off in this time period where if you wait after the merge let the market play out my thesis is you will see much better prices for long-term accumulation we'll discuss all that and more in this edition without further ado let's get in the game t-minus 15 seconds guidance is internal 12 11 10 9 ignition sequence starts [Music] is [Music] hustle wise [Music] all right and let's dive right into it be sure to like the video if you enjoy the

companies in the world unix gaming one of the leading web3 gaming infrastructures as well as mexi the official exchange of the in the game show so let's go ahead and dive right into it over the weekend we actually saw brian armstrong from coinbase and coinbase themselves come out with a partnership with enthusiast gaming and anyone who's in really touched with the gaming space at the moment knows that ev it's a first person shooter has been really coming up in the scene as far as an easy on-boarding game and the guys are from addicting games you would have played in the computer lab as a kid that was what i was coming up on and that website fueled so many uh different games and many game experiences for me to be able to participate in so whenever uh they brought this game to the web three space eevee.io which is a first person shooter that really was something that a lot of people have caught hold to and you can play on any device and as you see here they'll provide enthusiast gaming who is behind ev.i o with wallet capability blockchain nodes fiat to crypto ramps and i think that the reason i wanted to highlight this is because coinbase really flopped on their nft marketplace anyone who remembers the the memes that were coming out the comment section in the nft marketplace it was just so weird you know it was very differently played than i thought that they should have played it and nobody uses coinbase for nfts so maybe coinbase can aim their infrastructure towards gaming and find a little bit of more traction there i think that might be a better avenue for them and they definitely have the resources and the capital to be able to fund and you know fuel provide these games with a lot of different tools uh in their belt so i hope to see them pivot that direction obviously enthusiast gaming partnered with adidas hbo max universal so that was big news in my opinion in the gaming space and i hope to see coinbase leaning towards gaming a little more as brian armstrong was pointing out and i want to talk about the markets in this edition so you know we're looking at the markets relatively green you know playing out before the eth merge this is my bear market gaming watch list that we have been putting together all bear market you know this whole entire time while the market has been dipping we have been you know researching diving into these projects and most of them you know you get down here some of them are down for the 24 hours but a lot of them are up for the week and we're still seeing a lot of green in the markets leading up to the e merge obviously eth merge about midweek this week that is a major catalyst that has been delayed a couple times and people are really looking ahead to and i want to point you to on the show i have been talking about why i think this is a massive buy the rumor sell the news event i'm going to show you the proof and the pudding over the last year of at least these are two major major ones that occurred and there's a couple others that i will describe after this we see avalanche year to date and if you look here avax was about 66 dollars it runs all the way up to 102 between march and april bear in mind this was not a bullish time period the market was not in a bullish trend at this moment in time avalanche was on its own accord so it goes from march 14th to 67 all the way from april 2nd to 102 well if you go look at what those key dates were the barcelona avalanche summit ironically falls on the 22nd to the 27th what was the top of avalanche the top of avalanche here in this last little run uh in the bear market was a hundred and two dollars on april 2nd you know why that was the catalyst it's because after all the news comes out avalanche subnets hit you know defy kingdoms crabata they were coming out on the subnet there was a lot of hype around the chain they were allowed to announcing a lot of new games that were going to build infrastructure on avalanche subnets but the thing about these catalyst guys is after these occur there's nothing else to look forward to so what happens they move on they go to the next narrative people will try to swim to that next narrative and obviously once that narrative was gone it just plays back into the market cycle which was extremely bearish sentiment and now we're seeing 21 on avalanche but that's not the only example you know obviously the the prime example we could take a look at was last fall right before the bull run you know the bull market was in the prime last october and november i would say but leading up to the bull market cardano was announcing their smart contracts obviously this is the infamous one up to three dollars on september 2nd we're looking at three dollars in this time period what was happening in this time period well september 13th they launched the smart contracts after the successful hard fork so when there's all these hype driven events into the market but it's all priced in everything is priced in you know remember the polka dot narrative with the polka dot parachains i think polka dot was 40 plus dollars at that point uh and it is substantially down i think 80 down at this point not that other altcoins aren't but that was definitely another event that it was priced in it was by the rumor and it was sell the news so i don't want people to play into that same narrative so what is my strategy leading up to the merge i think you know if you're out there and you have any active deployed positions that are in profit it might be advisable to potentially take a look across the board before the eve merger and do a risk reward scenario in your head just to evaluate you know should i take a little bit off the table because this is a massive catalyst in the market and given the economic climate i truly don't think that the bottom has been shown in this bear market cycle i think that after this little run that we're seeing here with the eth merger we're going to be in for some more pain and that means better prices so if you took some positions here at these recent bottoms and you are swing trading up towards the eighth merger i would potentially try to take some profits off the table on some positions i know obviously i'm not a financial advisor this is not financial advice i'm just guiding you through exactly what i am doing inside of the markets and i've taken a couple profits you know and in this bear market time you know leading up to the eth merger so whenever i'm assessing my positions and i got in on some positions very low and now they're up 40 to 50 percent those are things i've definitely taken off the table potentially in security leading up to the eth merger so i think if you want to avoid volatility that would be the smartest thing to do as a savvy investor is definitely use that narrative of buy the rumor sell the news so far in crypto over the last four to five catalyst i would say even beyond what i listed with avalanche cardano at the phantom conference last fall was infamous after that it completely completely tanked after the phantom conference uh there's so many different instances of these kind i think near is potentially being shorted as we're talking right now the near con is happening at this very moment guys so these conferences these events they cause narrative driven dumps because it's a buy the rumor sell the news event and you could look back as far as time the savvy investors inside of both stocks traditional markets and crypto markets utilize that to their full advantage why because retail is going to come in and retail is going to say wow i saw the news headline it must be about to blow up let's go but the thing is it's already priced in the savvy people have already taken profits you want to be on that savvy side you don't want to be on the retail side that sees a news headline and then you hop in that's what it pays it pays to pay attention in the space so if you've been you know watching the shows me ran sheldon kyle miles you know you've gotten all this information and wealth of knowledge now in this market climate you know to play into this merge if our thesis plays out and i know like i know i think kyle is pretty bearish i'm pretty bearish as far as after the eth merge i think we're gonna see lower there's gonna be so many opportunities if you're here soaking up building up your watch list trimming the fat off of your watch list so i think that is a massive key to be looking at in this market and i want to take a look at a couple of projects and kind of just go over the watch list on some key coins that i am looking at we're seeing green again today on polygon everyone knows i think polygon is probably my top like if there's a top 25 top 20 coin that i'm looking to accumulate the heaviest it's probably polygon right now with their future of gaming behind them and everything that ryan wyatt's brought to the table uh with the gaming side and today we see starbucks bringing their rewards program over to polygon hallelujah because i have said since the beginning and on these shows with people from the web 2 side that i think loyalty programs are one of the best fits for nft utility and traditional businesses and we see starbucks taking the leap here an experience that enables you to earn and buy digital collectible stamps to unlock new coveted coffee experiences they're bringing their loyalty program to the best proof of verification method in the world proof of ownership has never been more efficient and never been more proof than the blockchain so i think this is fantastic integration applause to both starbucks and polygon and this just only drives me even more bullish on polygon and as far as the rest of my watch list guys obviously i'm eyeing up those coins that i'm looking to take a dip after the eve merger like sandbox like gala you know even wax wax has so many users on their platform major partnerships you know with marvel and a couple other i think mattel marvel bratz uh i think you know a lot of trading cards go under wax i know one of the biggest some of the biggest games as far as i think and player base splinterlands and alien worlds they're both on wax so wax has a lot of potential ultra vulcan forged cedafy super farm these are ones that you want to be studying up and looking for their valuations after this eighth merger and there could be massive value across the entire watch list and i always say start from the top guys you never want a dca from the bottom of your watch list up and i'm talking about valuations right start from the top money goes the same money goes the same way from top to bottom the money will flow from the top of the market to the bottom of the market which means the high caps to the mid caps to the low caps so you can play that safe accumulate those top coins when you're comfortable after the eve merge obviously i'll be here with you every single step of the way to walk you through my strategy as the eth merge plays out but if you got value out of this video if you got a little uh knowledge on the trends behind buy the rumors sell the news be
