Binance

 Binance is leading the charge now. They're the main crypto titan left in the industry. They're publically releasing their proof of reserves, which takes all of the wallets that they have and, shows us how much they owe. This is a proof of reserve system. And it can't be faked. If you have missing funds, it's going to be tracked. It's all on there and recorded.

Binance is also creating a customer support fund, or a rescue fund, for the entire industry. They've put in $2 billion total now and they say APTOS and JUMP have also joined in now to save crypto. A lot of people are speculating this could go into the Genesis liquidity issue. And, remember, Genesis is not necessarily a lost funds issue. Maybe they lost some funds in FTX, but when they need to give funds back, they lent funds. What is important to note is that they have collateral, there are “stuck” crypto assets there. Maybe the collateral is staked in Ethereum. Maybe it's locked into a pool in DeFi. There are things in there that they just can't get. Maybe it's a lockup for a project. But they're not going to be using that as collateral to borrow a ton of other stuff. So it's not as bad as it was in FTX. But if it's just liquidity, then Binance could easily step in and save them. And then obviously, crypto would bounce back up because it's pricing in the bankruptcy. Crypto is coming back this week.

First of all is the Fed.

 Every week we talk about inflation calming down. This week there is a hint that maybe December’s interest hike might only be a 50 basis point move as opposed to the expected 75 basis point move.  This is why you’ll hear markets “cheer, everything is still going up. They're seeing an end in sight to these interest hikes. This is important because if one can reasonably assume the interest rate peak is going to be in February, then they can start deploying their funds accordingly.

NFT

  And this segues into our NFT section where Coinbase is adding support for PYR (the primary utility token of the platform). It's called Vulcan Forged. Remember, anytime you see an exchange listing, you should sell. Because the coin will pump, and nine times out of 10, probably 99 times out of a hundred, actually, the thing's going to fade back to the pre-listing price. For that reason, I do think this is going to fall back to $3. It did bounce to $3.30, which is about 10%. But that's always a great time to sell. You can always buy back in for 10% less in theory. But you have no idea if the market is going to keep it going but statistically, that's just what happens almost all of the time. We also have OpenSea launching on BNB Chain. Now the funny thing is I never thought of BNB Chain as a very NFT centric chain. Solano is the other bigger player, and Polygon is catching up. Also, a lot of these other chains like Avalanche are trying to get onto it, but it's not rea...

Now, we did have a big hiccup here.

 One of them is China. China has huge protests going on right now with the lockdowns. Honestly, there are two bad options for China. One, they double down on Zero COVID policy. This could get really bad where they're arresting citizens, they're using force, and they’re locking everybody up. Or China can do the opposite, just let everything go and end the “Zero COVID policy” and allow people to just freely roam around. The reason why this is a big deal is, number one, it brings uncertainty, and every time you have uncertainty, you see dips in the market. The second thing is the outcomes are bad. Let's say they just open up and end the “Zero tolerance” policy. Probably China’s hospital systems would get overrun. China has been doing media control saying, "People are getting vaccinated. It's getting better," but overall they're not prepared for this. They're not like all the other countries that opened up allowing everyone to get infected with a milder ve...
