What up bitches? I'm coming at you raw
unfiltered
ready for action
super excited because
The more that this space progresses that crypto progresses the more it grows the more I fall in love with it and
Because it's very real very raw very
very visceral it speaks to the human condition in the most
Incredible of ways it's extremely dynamic and I am blessed
I'm so blessed to be part of the crypto vigilante, and that's really what I want to talk to you guys about today
Because there is so much insanity in the market right now
So many mixed voices so many so many mixed messages so many mixed signals that you don't even know who the heck to follow
what to do and
I'd be honest guys like if I was just rolling on my own if I didn't have the team that I had I'd be I'd be I would be
looking for a community of solid
An analyst that I can rely on and
Thank God, that's what we offer and I'm just like very thrilled to
To be part of this and I kind of feel bad for those who don't have what I have or what we have
for those who were not part of a of a network that they can trust because
Because it can get really nutty out there, you know, I I honestly don't know how that a lot of you manage without having
Crypto Bitcoin oh geez that you can trust to watch your back
I really don't know how you guys do it more power to you if you're doing that for example, man
Like without how much craziness is happening right now?
We're in a bull market, but then again the conditions of crypto are such that
You know we it's a bit we're very affected by the macro events in the economy
Just today at Boogles
Dropped an incredible piece on Monero and Bitcoin
That that alone if you read that if you read that write up that alone will like
Give you so much clarity. I honestly don't know how you guys do it people that don't
And I don't know another place like the crypto vigilante and and yes, it is a shameless plug
It is it because it is reality
If you want to get in with us get to know us subscribe to our free newsletter at crypto vigilante.io
But let's get into it guys. Happy birthday Monero
Monero our darling our baby the hope
Of the world
Congratulations on I think it's called ax swap the new thing that's happening with Bitcoin cash very cool move
I love it. Congratulations on that. I also want to congratulate you the Monero community
That's very pretty much the same tari community. I hear you guys are launching main it finally finally on May 6
So congrats on that. I just saw a beautiful big owl fly over me very adequate for the Monero meme
so congratulations Monero on
Your awesome 11th anniversary
Everyone in crypto is trying to figure things out as to like how to cause
Disruption in the world and and Monero has been that community that has really
You know stayed true to that which matters most so
Congratulations guys to congratulations for that for being the badasses that you are and
Setting the standard also
Congratulations to
all the other privacy coins that we love like Zeno you guys are
Kicking ass you guys are doing great
Congratulations to pirate chain which is still the most private cryptocurrency in
the world right now with shielded addresses by default with an anonymity set of
over
14 million
Per transaction, so it's just very interesting because
the crypto space is beholden to
Happenings and circumstances that are extrinsic to itself and a lot of the capital infusion that is coming into the space through
BTC is one which focuses mainly on that which
fits in alignment with
Traditional finance big-tech Wall Street. There's nothing wrong with that
however
This is a space that
thrives on
building upon itself and causing
Disruption in the market
that's just the nature of this beast and
so
while
the Wall Street Banksters
Buy BTC or get into crypto through crypto back
holding companies
They
May not be saying this but they're constantly on
The lookout for that in crypto which could completely make their investments obsolete
now everyone in the space is
For the most part
Philosophically and economically aligned with these Wall Street initiatives because why not? That's where the money is
That's where the money is flowing. So if I align my incentives with theirs, I can profit great
Many are thinking like that actually most are and you see a lot of investing going around this ethos this mindset
however
There are innovators out there
That are relentless in desiring to break the mold to take things to the next level
People that are not satisfied with just appeasing to the status quo
these people are very dangerous to the establishment and these people work in silence and
Hold a the sort of domiciles over the entire space at all times
We're in which at any moment at any moment just one application that goes viral
Can destabilize the entire space by giving people more peace prosperity and freedom in a way that is truly person-to-person?
I want to give a big shout out to
The Solana team from Zeus which recently gave us
Turn Solana into a Bitcoin full node. We're now Solana itself
competes directly with all centralized exchanges
That alone is an example of a threshold that has been already crossed
where everyone in the space now
Understands that a blockchain has the potential of being much more than what people have always traditionally thought a blockchain to be
That a blockchain itself can do the work of an exchange in a peer-to-peer way guys. This is huge
This is unlike anything
That I well, I understand this but I am realizing that people are just now starting to realize these
realities that are proper to crypto and
It's in my opinion magnificent to see the realizations happening
across the board where people are
Realizing that they have incredible power in their hands. We live in a place right now or even code
is
Going to just become ever more accessible to the masses if you are not preparing for
Disruption and if you think that Bitcoin and crypto is nothing else than just another boring arm of traditional
finance or
traditional big tech
If you think that Bitcoin and crypto have been tamed and became boomer and boring
I hate to break it to you the reality is that
We are in the position of
Constant disruption it seems obvious and almost like reasonable to approach the crypto space
From all perspectives and to be open to all worldviews because indeed
We live in uncertain times
and when you live in uncertain times
you
need objectivity and
I mean
Again, I do not know how the heck you guys do it on your own
We're here to serve my love my passion is to make sure that you guys grow in
Awareness that you guys grow in knowledge
because
The most important aspect of these technologies are the human beings that are using these technologies
you the human person that
Enjoys and embraces crypto even if it's just as a pass-through to make more money
You are the most important person you are the most important aspect of this entire space
It's what happens between your both of your ears that matters most it is not the technology
It is your knowledge and awareness of what these technologies are capable of offering you your loved ones and
The world the more educated you are the better off. I am you are the node in the network
You are the important link in the chain
The technology just brings us together and the technology
Augments who we are as human beings to one another and allowing for us to participate in
voluntary exchange
P2P person-to-person
However, if the audience that receives this message if the users of these technologies are not educated
About these technologies as much as they should then these networks hurt and so
That's what drives me what drives me my passion is to educate you guys
My passion is to create an environment where the research
Happens in a way that is awesome
We're not an echo chamber my ideas in my perspective on crypto history at times
Is are not the most popular and that's cool because I am a I'm a renegade
I am okay being a contrarian, but thank God that for my inner circle
I have dudes that have
Opposite perspectives that watch my back as I look after theirs and there's always this tension, right?
Which is another word word for attraction
where
It's easy
For someone like me to see what is possible what can be it can happen with these technologies
And that needs to be tempered by analysts that are objective that are actually pointing to the world as it is right now
And so it's this balancing act where I find myself within my with my analyst teams
Having a back and forth discussion and conversation between
The world as is and what it can become so in a sense
It's like there's the preservation of wealth that happens naturally by having
The best technical analysts that focus and that are actually the most experienced in the entire crypto space
That focus on on the on the space as it is
That's where the preservation of wealth is is you know found you know in in having that conservative approach
That's objective that honors the ta
And then you have the person and us every one of us has that in our own way
Where we can look around the corner and we know what's going to happen next and we can be first to market in many aspects of crypto
You will notice that in crypto
You will never find a person that is an expert in everything
Because it's impossible. You really have to be
a super
Polymath because again, this is interdisciplinary
You know like you can't be an all-star
full-stack developer
Incredible marketer that understands mimetics and at the same time the best ta
Who also understands fundamental analysis who's also a cryptographer or mathematician like
that's an alien
and so
Something that I've been personally encountering is I keep asking myself
Whenever I see someone new on the internet, I ask myself. Is that even is that even real? Is that an ai?
And it seems as if there was a moment in time
where those of us who came before the age of ai and became
People that you can verify are real on the internet. We we have a responsibility
to
Take care of that reputation
And that trust that humanity has conveyed on us by giving the most objective
uh research and education possible
Because moving forward like I don't know if it happens to you but for me all the time is like
Is that person talking to me on the internet even a real person?
You know, is it a bot?
so people who are now
Trying to figure out how to establish a reputation or having to climb an uphill battle. So I am honored
that you guys lend me your ear your time
because it is with purest and most
Beautiful intention that we bring our research to you
There is so much bullshit and crypto guys
That you I honestly again, I do not know how people do it
Without having a badass team like the one I have like I get to venture into crazy shit
And that people see me and you talking in the wild and they're like, whoa, he really goes out there
Well, he must be crazy. He must be nuts guys
The reason why I get to explore things that are very new and controversial
Is because I have a badass fucking team
My investment in my personal life is fully guided by a rock star team that watches my back
And it is that rock star team that is multidisciplinary interdisciplinary that sees crypto from many different perspectives
We have big blockers small blockers. We have privacy enthusiasts. We have people that are just strictly ta
Like specialties. We have og
Gold bugs we have ed boogles jeff berwick
That right there man, that's a solid freaking team that allows me to say, okay
I get I got my basis covered from every aspect and now I can venture into things that are
That are that are cutting edge bleeding edge and it and it so happens that many times I find myself
Encountering people who are very good at one aspect of crypto
Who are completely ignorant about everything else and I realize right away because I don't talk about it out loud
But like holy smokes like you really are stupid about this other stuff that for me
I get through osmosis by being surrounded by these giants. You understand what i'm saying like I can put on
um
The hats of one approach to crypto and thinking that mindset and then I can put on another hat from another approach to crypto
and thinking that mindset and I can satiate different needs in the market and approach different investment opportunities
Because I am not at war within myself. I understand that there simply is
different ways of seeing things
and
And I'm just enamored by the opportunity to be able to share the wealth that I have
In intellectual capital with you guys
So again, it's crypto vigilante.io sign up for a free newsletter. It's uh, it really is a work of love because
um, I'd be doing this either way
Uh, me and my dudes will be doing this no matter what um, we love crypto
But the fact that we're able to unite within
A platform that holds us accountable where we are like we have you know, we have that human element and accountability
Where we're not just anonymous where like even if there is one of us that is anonymous within our group of analysts
the the the social
Validation is lent over by someone who's public like me or jeff berwick. So it's uh, the more we move
into the future
The more valuable and the more important it is
To have real human connection and we make an effort to do that to offer that
To our community as well through anarcho polko and liber polko now in in europe
That that's extremely important guys. I'm just delighted. I'm just delighted to be able to share this with you guys
um, I'm really happy for everything that is happening in crypto
and
I'm the first one to say
and to share that
indeed crypto is
a place that
That is is riddled with uncertainties and things that are unknown and things that are yet to be discovered
but it is such because it is such a rich environment that
We need to look out for each other
Like we all need to look out for each other and anyone out there that's sending you confusing messages
seriously fuck them like
because
From moving forward, you know, like what matters is integrity in and um
integrity honesty
And and and that real human connection that real human accountability
and that's something that
I am blessed to
To be able to give to you guys to offer to you guys and it's it's cool to know that like I have this responsibility now
Because now there's this ai thing
Which would lead any crypto newsletter initiative in the future that would compete with us
It would lead them to have a real hard time
in trying to establish
trustworthy reputation so more power to you again if you do it all on your own
I personally know from my experience that I I couldn't do it on my own like being me
I I know that you know the the space is just that rigorous and demanding
And and the real you know crazy thing about this is that like someone like me
I wish I could just like talk about one topic of conversation and be done
But the reality is is that
There's so much to talk about in crypto
You know, you think that crypto is a place that would be very intuitive
And that's that was always my supposition because
Indeed by its nature. It is
It speaks to who we are as human beings in the most relatable way, which is you know
person to person in the way that we are relate
with each other in real life, but
augmented through technology now always consider that to be very easy and accessible
and and indeed it is
and so we are very much in the in a very
still in crypto's history in a very
elementary manifestation of of what crypto and bitcoins capable of
And now that we're moving into more
maturity and people are beginning through gamify experiences within crypto
That allow them different ways of interacting with one another
It seems as if through the complexity the complexity itself created by marketing not complexity created by
By by people who are just
dealing with one another in the market
The complexity in the in the understanding of these technologies will only ramped up and how is that well
There's this whole thing called the financial establishment and big tech. We're talking about the most revolutionary of technologies
that
Constantly hold
The entire
establishment in technology and finance
up against the wall
Like I said earlier wearing which at any moment in time
Some dude some woman can drop an application that could completely destabilize an entire
approach to market that is dominated by centralized giant
Like an amazon or a google or a meta
And and and when it takes off it could catch it could literally put these giants out of business
So you have to be aware that you live in a world surrounded by disinformation now
these tech giants and wall street
As much as it seems as if they're embracing crypto you have to be on your P's and Q's knowing that
They're also looking out for themselves
that they themselves
Are embracing these technologies while they themselves make sure that they stay
With their seats on the table and there is a whole world behind them of their
Limited partners and their and their portfolios that also look out for their investments. So
The revolution will not be televised
That which will disrupt crypto and bitcoin and big tech
Is something that you will find from independent researchers like myself
like my team
Who have an incentive to give you the most objective down-to-earth assessment of the space as possible at all times
so
Just keep that in mind keep in mind that
like
The entire world of finance is pressured from now into eternity to
Make sure that crypto doesn't get out of line and it seems as if they don't realize
The peril in which they find themselves
Because these technologies are only growing exponentially
And the idea that they're giving people in crypto is is that it's just business as usual
That bitcoin is just an investment vehicle that fits right in with big tech and
and
Big tech and finance
Traditional finance and it just fits in and it's just another investment vehicle another quote-unquote tech stock, right?
And and they sell this illusion because in reality it is
And it's an illusion that they they have to mask with dollars that they throw at it like crazy
um
I personally see michael sailor as a fall guy to be completely honest like I see him as a dude
position
And put in the place of someone who has to play that role
In order to create a like a federal reserve like structure to pump fiat into a bitcoin that has been tamed
That is docile and that fits into the mold of the existing infrastructure and that is not threatening anyone
so
For how long will that hold up because out of nowhere
any dev any person
with a little wit
Can put out
An application that just completely changes everything
Not completely destabilizes everything it can happen overnight
I'm not saying it's going to happen tonight, but it can happen. It can be in 10 years 20 years
But we're in a point in time where what can happen and be
Realized in 20 years 10 years can be can happen in 10 hours guys as i'm talking to you some dude can be like
Creating a stupid app that just changes the paradigm of everything and the outlook of everything
I gave you the example of zeus and solana and that's just barely scratching the surface
because sooner or later
people are going to realize that the blockchain infrastructure
That
Is mature and robust isn't itself a supercomputer that allows you to program whatever you want on top of it
And that is where the real
Competition for the future lies
It's not in the illusion that the space that is highly marketed with all of these
Giant backers behind it. It's giving you no. No. I mean, it's not like
You know you fit into the mold of of of everyday finance and no
It's uh the reality is that we are moving into an age of I call it bitcoin or crypto athleticism
Where the best networks the most efficient networks will be able to yield more create more by saving people money or by generating wealth
And this is something that you cannot keep like it's like a kink hose the longer they give you this illusion
That it's just business as usual and that okx needs to go buy a building and look boomer like chase like
The longer you play that game
The more. Yeah, you will confuse some
and maybe demoralize or like
Lead some to to to think it's game over but dude. We're far from game over
There is no game to be over
This is an evolution
That the smart will only
Gain more ground
So if you're sitting on your laurels thinking that
Bitcoin and crypto are nothing more than just another tech stock that
Does nothing and it's just an investment vehicle for wall street then
Bro, um
Yeah
Like i'm i'm okay either way this world can go either way and i'm ready for it
Why because i have the team that i have i have the research
um
And the certainty right because there's nothing a hundred percent certain
But i have a higher higher degree of certainty than most actors in the market
Because i have the badass team that i have because they they are even
willing and able with the criteria and the arguments to even
Contradict what i say and my personal outlook i wouldn't be surprised if even uh
My analysts watching this were to say like
Raph, you know, i agree with you on this but maybe you're exaggerating on that because that's what i love
I love that about them
And having like such a badass group of dudes
as og bitcoiners
Watching my back which i'm offering to you to watch your back
Fuck man. It's just um
It's beyond a blessing and um
It's beyond the blessing. It's nothing but love. It really is nothing but love because this space only matures
And only grows in accordance to how intelligent you are
My goal is to make you as wise and intelligent as possible and
And and and it's and it's uh
Because if i do that for you
Then you will be a smarter
Actor in the market and that would that will help me. Why will it help me?
Because i see this as almost like a natural law logical conclusion
where
These technologies have a telos an endpoint
They all lead us towards a convergence of humanity where we find ourselves
Embracing technologies that are ever more efficient faster cheaper
And i want to be part of that and so if you become smarter
Then that means that
You are going to make decisions in the market that are going to drive up the value of those things which are best and most
Beneficial for me and for everyone else
So it's a gift that keeps on giving
And this is why it's so important to understand the construct that bitcoin and crypto are like a brain waking up
And you and i are nodes of this brain
waking up and that
We are the most important aspects of these technologies
And that and that we are in a highlander competition. We really are we really are in a highlander competition
Where all of these networks
Are going to be fighting for
Your investment for your attention
And there is no way to
Close pandora's box now
There there could be sigh ups that can lead you to think that may be
That that things are just now set in stone and that they're going to continue to be the way that they are now like
You you know you you kind of want to live in that comfort zone
And i understand that that's what you guys have been accustomed to humanity has been conditioned to follow a leader to
You know be conditioned to um
Accept things as they are you know listen to authority all of that stuff that you've been indoctrinated with like
I completely get it
I get it i understand that that's something that
That we've all been conditioned to i understand also that the rate of change that we're accustomed to
Is a lot slower than what i'm talking to you guys about i understand that too
But like george gilder says
Innovation in information science is called surprise
And you will be surprised
You will be surprised i will be surprised
And the best way to prepare for these surprises in the market is to be um
Well taught well learned and to have an open mind to be knowledgeable and ready for any movement in the economy
Um whether it be a macro event that maybe we in our generation are not used to like the contraction of the monetary supply
Where the Fed is not printing things as we're accustomed to you know
We're ready for that. We've we've already we've been covering that
um, or maybe it's because um
There are actors that have a lot at stake and can lose a lot based on the disruption that crypto
Offers the world. Well, they will make sure that they
Give conflicting messages to you
And it's at those moments in time where you need the blessing that i have and then i'll offer you guys
You have no idea how many smart people i know that are brilliant
That make big mistakes in the market because they're very smart about one thing
But they don't have like because like like i said, this is multidisciplinary interdisciplinary. They don't have
The wide scope that a whole team effort
Um has in their life and i've seen people get hurt because of that
Yeah, anyone that tells you they have it all figured out and crypto is nuts like run away
um
Look for integrity and seek out independent thinkers and think seek out spaces that are not equa chambers places that allow for um
dissenting opinions
Not stupid opinions because nobody wants to waste time but real dissenting opinions right and good argumentation
And and and for the longest time and it still is the one place in crypto that actually does that
We're still the only place that gives you that so and you know, it's it's incredible because like when you put something out in intention
In life you put something an intention out
Um, you attract that energy with that intention and a lot of people have told me raff, you know, like
I love everything you guys offer with your conferences anarcho polko lever polko
But in reality guys when you provide a space with uh an intention that is awesome
What you end up what's end up happening is is that
The people echo that intention and when they come into a list our space
um like subscribers
They create an ambiance that like magnifies that intention and
And um the community that that comes together is just fantastic
It's outstanding and that alone is worth
It's invaluable. You know the friendships we make
With with with one another for example, I was recently at a hackathon and a subscriber came up to me and was like, you know what raff
what you guys told me
I
Month two months ago to prepare for in the market
Some dude a friend of mine literally just finally realized
And he's late to that move in the market
That you guys told us to get ready for as time goes by the psyops are only going to become more intense
As time goes by there's going to be more and more
um confusion
And as time goes by
Um, I think our network is going to
um
Just become more and more in demand
so
You know the time is now
to
To get acquainted with us
Uh on a as intimate level as possible and for that I would say the vic
um is that place
so that
When the masses show up because they are showing up already
um
You are ahead of the curb um
It's uh day zero
It's day zero
In crypto history still
Bitcoin is in crypto
These networks are just now waking up
To what they're truly capable of offering the world
And I know some people think raffa you know the space is 16 years old. Yeah, man, but
There's so much to this that like
We are
Truly just getting started
What if I told you that bitcoin is a supercomputer waking up for example?
What if I told you a Solana is
Is a network with similar capabilities
What if what if I told you that we can compete whatever we want on the best of blockchains?
What if I told you that privacy is only going to become a more and more valuable as time goes on?
What if I told you that
No matter who you are you're going to become more and more vulnerable to
to all types of
Vulnerabilities on the internet
What if I told you that
Operational security offset is not just something cool to know but now it's a necessity to have in your skill set
By the way, we're about to pull out an amazing course
On phone security stay tuned for that. That's going to be incredible. We love you guys
And
Wherever you are in your crypto journey
Um know that making mistakes is part of the process
And and know that
This space will never stop innovating
And know that there will always be incredible opportunities in the market
And these opportunities are positioning themselves to only grow exponentially as time goes on
and if you know how to
Position yourself adequately
And you know and you learn what to look for and you know how to preserve your wealth first and foremost
You will have the clarity of mind
to
Find the next greatest exponent alongside us
Peace love anarchy
Now we are dealing with a possible world war
Some will say we are already in a world war my condolences and prayers go out to everyone suffering under tyranny
It really sucks. I'm really sorry
But it seems as if people are starting to wake up regarding crypto more and more each day
And so it's in the description right here to read where we give our secret sauce and what we teach our subscribers
Because things are just that bad, you know, everyone needs this information people need to know about sound cryptocurrencies
That are actually private by default and to know how to properly use crypto
