Hello, and welcome back to the craft box. My name is Brent and today we're on episode 232 of the Wizard101 Death Walkthrough The last episode if you haven't checked it out already, we made our way into Mirage We did all of the prelude stuff, and we're actually here today So yeah, if you haven't checked that out go do that. Please traveler if you be a good Kameraton here I'll plea we would beg your assistance Um, we're already getting in trouble. Hello. How are you? We are trying to reach Kerevan after the sandstorm We felt the winds of change and we heard the pale genies whispered warnings These dreadful gulches block our way however they appeared and began dive bombing our group now My Pac-Man is too terrified to proceed terrified. I call it smart. I'm bright yellow the perfect target for those birds Today vacate those trees. I'll be staying right here This chronomancer traveling with us knows a way to dispel these foul creatures But we need assistance to carry out his plan. He speaks truly the gulches are undead death It's a function of time and time is my specialty Bring me gulcher bones, and I can dispel them Okay, then um, so I will be back once I have collected four Gulcher bones Okay, I am back that took six battles or to fight six of them for three battles You had to fight six, but you understand. Okay most excellent now Perhaps we can get back onto the road. Who knows though? You can bring a pac-man to pellet, but you can't make him eat Stand back Now oh that isn't going to work Whatever enchantment was used to manipulate time and reanimate the gulches. It is too strong for me to dispel I am sorry my friends. I appreciate you making the effort It is all right when digging for water in the desert. You don't always find it on the first try I have another idea if we can draw the gulches out of the trees I believe my pac-man will be willing to make a break for it up there on the bluff I noticed a nest the mother gulcher is there tending to what she believes to be her eggs Traveller if you will go and challenge her. I suspect these gulches will fly to her aid giving us a clear path Okay, then sure um So yeah, if I sound a bit weird in this it's because I'm kind of sick at the moment. I have like a really sore throat Yeah, but I mean you gotta record so let's hit on him this boss is a cheating boss first boss that cheats well Cheat significantly um because we had what Who else is cheated? Oh the um Yeah, the first two bosses the two bosses that we faced last time They also climb the path to the gulcher's nest Those look like rocks rather than eggs, but the mother gulcher is fiercely protective nonetheless Okay, so she's both life and death um So all what we're going to do is we are going to put in a A lot of prisms And we also need to Yeah, okay, we're just gonna go on um, hopefully that should be good and I will read out the cheats So she At the beginning of every round she'll cast a summoning spell that is shadow. So you can't dispel it uh that summons Uh death gulcher or a myth gulcher When the um means to summon all of them she'll cast a guardian spirit on them Uh And if you are late she'll cast a luminous weaver on you. So yeah, that's cool, um How much 5 000 she has like no health so we don't even really need feints. We're gonna discard both of these Um, we're just gonna belay it. I think Okay, so she summons three minions, which is fine I mean it's whatever We if we get it while we're definitely gonna have to put We can't even I don't know That's really weird because we can't really prison the boss because They've got resist both to life and death that I've only just Remembered that they do is that a 40 that better not be a 40. It's a 40. I'm gonna be Slightly angry. There's a death one. Hello Um, so I may not even present to be honest that is a minus 45. Oh, okay Wow, just chill there my dude chill. We're not even gonna present. I don't think I mean it's only Oh, maybe we should Oh, I don't know unless we got a cleanse, which is good. Um, the boss only has 15% resist And I mean as soon as the bosses aren't everything's easy Technically so Yeah, that should be fine.  Dear night. Hello. Hello This is not gonna do much is it correct? Not much at all. Okay, that's fine She's got 15% pierce and 60% damage, which is ridiculous That's crazy Crazy It's just death. I don't know. They all look the same I mean, none of these guys have too much health. We don't actually boost on them if people Because they only boost a storm which is really weird. We're going back to a what like celestia days I might pop up a prism just for the culture The death one maybe because I I assume he has a lot more Resist let's check. Oh, let's check that He has oh, he only has 30% resist. I can't remember what my pierce is. I always forget what my pierce is um What is my pierce, please tell me what my pierce is someone Um here four seven That's correct. Yeah seven um Maybe I should have used the melis de star Uh Seven eight nine 10 11 12 13 13 13 pierce That's nearly all of Yeah, I'm gonna have to put up a I'm gonna have to put up a prism just for the death culture. I think I mean, we are also not finding or I could just faint him Hmm that makes sense. I could do that Because I'm also not finding any Any hits whatsoever. It's ridiculous. No hits. Okay That makes sense Okay, 113 and it did nothing. I don't know why they're using myth bat or blood bat.  I haven't seen that spell in forever since probably What like unicorn way? Geez The myth ones can stun as well. They can do myth banshee which is a bit ridiculous A bit crazy Okay, can we get some hits please that would be great D and I it would be fantastic. Anything really Okay, we're just gonna spam blood bat. Okay, whatever Whatever nearly did though From just like blood bats. Okay Um Seriously, this is not funny. Can we get a hit please that would be great.  I've got what three blades now So I mean I'm came Yeah, take a lot of damage. You deserve it. Yeah, you deserve it. You deserve it I forget that they can do that which is really annoying Really really annoying But I mean it Gives him damage. So I'm just gonna leave it. I don't really care I don't care enough to put on another one. He'll probably just take it off anyway. They're getting too good Um, let's see. Thank you for a lulu. We also do not need the reshuffle reshuffle If we can crit that'll be fantastic We also need to hit again to kill off these guys wings of fate.  It doesn't even like Healed you for the first time. So it can't actually bring anybody back alive, which is really weird Well, it actually does a lot though it can he's got a lot of outgoing as well.  He's gotta be close to I think there might be a hundred percent, which is crazy Crazy Oh, hello. Okay, then that's fine. Let's hit can't fuzzle, which is great because we've got good stuff now Let's see how much we can do with three blades It'll only have a bit of resist for me, but I think it actually boosts Oh, yeah Um, okay. That did a lot of damage. That's good. I killed all of them Possibly Cool, and we just need to kill the minions again. They don't have much health. So that is good Um We can probably just dare not Why is he mad at me? Oh He still doesn't have roads Um, that's that's bummer. He's been trying to get them forever. It's orange. I don't think he has open chat Um Rob's hate people sometimes Okay, um, my pet's been healing a lot Like it's ridiculous how much it's been healing in the last like wee bit It's crazy crazy heels Luckily, I don't think this I mean that fight wasn't actually too hard the most harder No, no drop save me Um, I think the hardest bit was probably not finding a hit for so long because I could have hit ages ago with lulu um See they're dead with just that. I don't know if this guy will be but he'll be dead over time um Yeah, here they cured for like 800 and something so What can you do? It's fine We're killing them decently fast anyway. Um, we will simply go for a pause And he's dead. Bye. Bye Feel well my friend Let's not fight you again. Oh wait, we probably will have to won't we? Yep, that's how it works. Haha pit healing again. Good job. Good job healing a lot I think the pits kind of like You know how some pits a lot to land the sun The other gulfers flock to protect the nest. Hopefully you managed to draw the ones out of the trees Let's go find out Um, I think that's what's wrong. She just well, yeah, she hate it I don't know abby is a girl's name, but it's also sir. So I'm confused Um, but it's it's in the sun now mirage. So it's like, yeah, I should heal. It's really warm I can actually do stuff now So we're just gonna heal all the time and I appreciate it I've been farming olympus on my storm for about a day now and only gotten boot rip That's that's unlucky It worked like a charm my friend my pack man seems to have recovered his courage So we will soon be on our way A word first if I may wizard It's clear you are well versed in the mysteries of magic, but you are new to mirage. Yes I shall explain We chronomancers are recruited from all over mirage to perform a sacred duty at the chronoverge Maintaining the sands of time Each grain of sand is a moment in the spirals history mirage was once a lush world But the sands of time have turned it into a desert The history lesson is fascinating, of course and all of us in mirage appreciate your service chronomancer But perhaps another time The way is clear now and we should seize this moment to go to caravan come see me when you get there traveler Yes, of course, I must go west to search for a fellow chronomancer who's missing I only wish to suggest you be careful farewell to you both Oh like hello, okay, cool. Um, nice. We like frame drop there. Nice. Um, so yeah, let us return to the central hub And we will hopefully lift it up another tent and that's one less tent that we have to figure out Already you can see change has come to caravan Several nomads have arrived and pitched their tents. Guillermo is among them See look at that list hints. We have to worry about there's also one here. Oh my gosh Hello, that's crazy Oh birdie's down here as well. That's fun Not only am I relieved to have reached caravan But I am pleased as well to see the world door is restored This will be good for business And this incumbent designer birdie is genius He wants to speak with you by the way. Meantime my shop is open and you get a discount I think these are the cool shops. So he sells reagents, which are tumeric Um, you can buy that for any level. It's like voice crack. They're sorry equipment shop I think you can get the mounts. Yeah, but you have to be A treasure you need the archaeologist badge and the treasure hunter badge. I believe Um, so you have to get the specific badges to get those sort of things And there's a whole bunch of them around mirage, which is really cool Oh, isn't it beautiful? Oh the tents the colors It's far from finished but to even glimpse my design in reality is a feast to my hungry eyes But of course it is you who deserves the credit the saviour who stepped onto these desolate sands in my darkest hour You are my hero, but we mustn't celebrate too soon. Genius is never easy Even now more nomads are in distress out there. I suggest the south road this time Okie dokie nearly level 115 Um currently 114 wonder if we'll get that today because we're basically finishing off this whole first area today Um, like I said, and I think the last couple of episodes of I followed you across the sands for many moons husband, but I begin to question your judgment We simply must ask for help I can resolve this myself asula But if you insist upon this course, I will indulge your fancy perhaps this wizard can assist us Um, they're gonna be slightly longer and mirage just because I want to kind of power throw it a lot Please wizard if I might impose upon your generosity. We are but humble drummel merchants be set by woeful misfortune We heard the pale genie's warning So we packed up all our wares and journeyed for weeks only to be waylaid so close to our destination As we came around the bend these scaly tringles rolled up on us stole a great number of our valuables Seems they like shiny things Of course, some might have cut the losses, but my husband is stubborn even for a dromel seems the shinies are worth more than our lives My dear asula, you misunderstand my motivation But perhaps we need to argue wizard if you will recover our wares all will be well I need to collect shiny things four of them. Um, so are we back? Um, and just a bit once I've collected shiny things I am back just finished off that only two battles this time so easy I cannot adequately express my gratitude for your assistance wizard. You seem to have a knack for knocking the tringles around Now we can proceed to caravan with the supplies we need to start our business and a great piece of mind as well Indeed, I would like to apologize on my husband's behalf. It must seem petty that we play such importance on these trinkets Wait, hold on this can't be It's not here our most treasured possession the jeweled box They must have taken it into their hidey hole. You must be jesting mon job How could you possibly impose on this wizard further? I don't understand. When did you become so greedy? Please wizard. I promise I will ask nothing more But I cannot proceed unless you go into the hidey hole and recover the box. Thank you That expido Okay, where are we going? Not this one. Okay. Well, that's a shame Um, it's over here the other one. Okay, that makes complete Saints ha ha ha ha There's also a chest here. So we're gonna get the chest first because chests are good 17 that's amazing Okay, um a boss. Hello Um, does he have minions? He has a minion. That's a shame Um, but he doesn't have much health. So that's also good. He's a he can cheat a bit Which is not cool The hidey hole is not exactly pleasant But you see a pile of shinies across the cave. You'll just have to defeat the hoarder to get to them Okay, um down this way please Um, so yeah, he is cheater he cheats We're gonna put in one of these And I think that should be sufficient for now Um, yeah So what he does is if you join late, he will cast a version of steel pips that steals one pip from the wizard Um a moon version that is so also can't be dispelled Uh, okay. Hello Um At the end of every round, he will cast a shadow spell that steals one blade and one shield from the wizard They have more than five blades. He will steal them all Um So maybe I shouldn't have done that but whatever Um steel charm can bypass this because you can just steal it right back Um, if the hoarder cast blade storm will legion shield He will steal the blade or shield from his minions. So that's really handy really really handy Um, he has no health We're gonna do this because I don't think it's the death one they get stolen from memory. Oh stunned. Okay. That's fine Um, yeah, he has a mastery in both ice and balance. I don't know if it shows there. I think it does yet does So that's cool You can do nested fuel ray And a couple of others we're gonna discard you because it's just gonna steal it because he's cheeky He's cheeky like that Um, what else can he do? He can do raft of aquila which gives a a shield Oh, no, it does 250 Um elemental damage or spirit damage and balanced damage So it's kind of good It's nine pips though. So I don't think he would use that too much. You can also use ice bird um He can stun a lot Um, and that's about it. So, yeah Yes, cool. You would do that, wouldn't you? Can we get a share that would be great Can we faint you we probably can Okay, just steal his blade. That's cute I don't even understand that like why would you Add that as a spell that he can use if he's just gonna steal it anyway. I don't understand I don't understand. He didn't steal anything. That's weird Um, but we can hit so I mean, we got a potent on him. So we should be fine Lego, I mean why not we can do that. Did they both pass?  We can probably do this with a faint in a blade. So Should be fine eight thousand. Can we do that? Nope, we did four thousand. That is embarrassing Usually does a lot more than that, but whatever I mean, it wasn't really a good blade At least the minions did which is good. We could probably Nope, we probably can't do that um I mean, I'm kind of keen just to slap him with her agony just for fun Just for fun because why not, you know why not Kind of want to hit him with a wing if we get another shad that'd be great Um, because I don't use that much. So it would be kind of cool. We're stunned. Actually, no, we're not because we've already been stunned So that stun block comes in handy, which is nice Hopefully we don't get stunned again, which Very high possibility we can Because freezes zero pips, which is another spell he can use obviously weapon cast Nope. Okay. That's fine I am fine with that. I suppose. Yes, we got winged. Yay Let's just wait until we can get a shad and then we'll hit with wind because we can I spurred.  That's fun I don't know if we can crit weapon casts I don't know if we can that'd be cool if we could because we have like a lot of death Stuff so that'll be fun. We can't okay. That's fine I don't think we can crit weapon cast, but I don't know who knows Um, it's good getting him down a lot, but he can be beguiled What No way He can be beguiled And stunned what the crew Oh my He won't steal it off me will he? I don't think he will because we're in the same team you see So you see that it's cheeky. It's cheeky. I think he's beguiled for what two round one more round Uh, yeah, I don't think we can no we can't target him yet But we will do it next round when we can I don't think we can faint. No, I can't Okay, that's cool.  I think He's just passing. Okay whatever Hello, I didn't know he could be beguiled. That's crazy You could put up a couple blades in that time because he won't take them because you're in this team. There we go. Bye. Bye That's a cheeky wee wee the hoarder rolls away and out of the cave Now you can search the pile of shinies for the saliv's jeweled box Okay, let's get this jeweled box. I believe it's just this thing here Yep, there beneath the other shinies. You find the saliv's jeweled box. It doesn't look terribly fancy But at least now they can leave Okay, let's go and talk to mon job And we will see what we got to do next because we're continuing on don't care how long this is going to be um Gonna be kind of a long episode, but you know what?  We're doing long episodes just for those people So, yes, have fun um Let us talk to mon job again. Hello Hello, hi This was really all that ever mattered Co-starring now I can say for certain that we are prepared to complete our journey to caravan I fear that old age is making you soft in the head husband Why would you possibly make such a fuss about that box? It's beyond me. It's not the box my dear It's what's inside our betrothal scarves from when we married those I could not leave behind You mean oh My silly sweet husband I I am sorry for doubting you and you wizard. We are forever in your debt Indeed come by our tent in caravan. You will find no one sells goods of higher quality than the salves I hope to see you there Level up one fifth day and yay Fantastic. That's nice um Yeah halfway through what should be That which is great You return to discover caravan is even busier than before it's starting to look like a proper encampment the salves are already set up Okay, let's talk to the salves Shall law Look at this will you a thriving nomad camp if I have ever seen one Azula and I will be very happy here The encampment designer birdie is inspired truly. Oh, yes. He asked to speak with you. Tell him We are all squared away Okay, let's go and find birdie. What do you sell Azula? What you don't sell any mounts. Okay, but you sell ethames and emulates. Do you have any good emulates? That's a question I'm gonna take that as no, you don't. Yeah, probably not. Okay. That's a shame rings question mark Probably not. No. Okay. That's a shame. Goodbye Uh, let's go and talk to birdie once more higher Can you believe it? Ah the way the teal brings out the contrast in the other colors Just as I hoped and look at how the place is filling in It it brings a tear to my eye.  There are still nomads out there stranded holding out hope Oh, and what's this? I'm hearing about warnings from some pale genie. The balance of colors is delicate No paleness without my approval. Of course, I shouldn't bother you with concerns about the palette You should hurry on to the north road. There are more nomads in need Okay, let's go up the north road this time And we will see what we have to do there probably another defeat and then our boss Would not surprise me at all um, okay Sandstone nice Sunstone as well. That's cool prickly bears. Hello Um, where are we going? Can we like not get pulled into bed a while? We're trying to do this. That'd be great That'd be great Oh praise the sand someone came along might you help us out here My brother has gotten himself into a bit of a prickle Thank you traveler out here. No one can hear you shout for help. I was starting to think we should have gone to agrabah instead You see curiosity drew my brother nasim Into the prickly bears cactus corral and the spine the little beasts locked him in for the thousandth time I'm sorry my brother. I tried to be focused, but there was that spot of light dancing on the rock I couldn't resist as you might be able to tell nasim was adopted into my family He tends to get distracted from time to time. He can't help it I wonder you appear to be a wizard. Yes If you'll use your magic to force the prickly bears to hand over the cactus key We can open the gates. Okay. I'll be back once I've defeated these prickly bear Cactuses Okay, I am back just finished off that only two battles for one thing makes sense. Correct. Yes. Okay There you see nasim not everyone is so cold and cruel hearted the gate is open and now we can complete our journey You must come by our tent at caravan traveler. I promise you we have the most diverse selection of any merchant in all mirage Look jebari the spot of light is back there on the canyon wall. No wait There quickly brother. We must catch it before it gets away Adopted he may be but he is my brother and I would know sooner part with him than with my hump Besides he keeps things interesting. Come see me in caravan and we will do business. Yes Okay Nice like cool. Uh, let's head over to caravan once more. Well, we're still in caravan, but back over to The main part of caravan The central hubbers they like to call it And look. Oh, everything's back. That's fun Where is he? He's up this letter. Nope this letter. Hello correct No, oh over here Could have gone up the other letter. Good job quistero. Great job Ha ha and look at this never has caravan been such a thriving hub of activity I'm glad we didn't go to agribus. Nothing but thieves there I tell you my friend this place will be good for business Thanks to you and that designer birdie. He would speak with you by the way What does he sell? He sells wands is actually really cool. They're like There's different ones. Oh my gosh Whoa Okay, there's only two types. I believe. Yeah, only two types. They're not even good anyway.  I know some of them do interesting That looks cool. Do they all give pips? No, this one doesn't give pip. That's strange Unfortunately, they're only max copy four, which is really weird Strange. Anyway, let us what do you sell? Jewel shop Nothing good I don't think probably not. Nope. And these ones No, anything. Yeah, okay. No, you're not good. What are your recipes though recipe shop jewels? Yeah, just jewels. Okay Okay, let's go down and talk to birdie birdie birdie. Where are you? You are over here here here But Hello, they say good things come to those who wait and I believe it the dream of caravan is finally realized Aesthetically all is well, but I worry your work has just begun. Some new trouble is afoot speak with sundiago Whatever happens. I believe in you wizard Stay golden Birdie is a strange character very strange. Anyway, sundiago. Hello The wanderer from another world I need not listen to the wind here of your success the murmur and the camp tells me all I need to know The nomads who recently arrived bear other tidings as well It seems the warning on the winds of change came from the pale Genie with all the nomads finally safe in caravan We must now assess the danger that drove us here I would ask you to seek the genie out. His true name is demusid But he goes by many names. Here's a recluse among the gin living alone in a tent east of here Demusid is a bit Obsessive, but he has been a friend to the nomads in the past I expect he will explain his reasoning if you seek him out Okay, let's head on over And this would probably be one of the last things we do for this episode because I think we then go into the next area, which is cool Um, so let's go find him He is over here Oh, hello Nice wee tent. Hi Let's head on in And we will find out what we gotta do what we gotta do So two one Load please load no dialogue. Okay Hold it right there. What are you doing? Were you raised in a cave?  I can't believe this. First these mud swirlers come to torment me and now you come trumping in leaving Tracks on the floor Fine. I give up. I'm retreating to the back room You and the swirlers can battle it out in here, but don't you dare come any farther Okay, um, I'll be back once I've defeated the swirlers. Okay. I am Back we are just killing now. Goodbye. They're well Um, super easy So, yeah, not too difficult Pip conserved. I'm getting so much pip con Conversion can serve and I don't know how to say it, but I've got like five percent, but it's happening a lot. I don't know why it's weird. Um A couple of things. Okay. What now you would contaminate my private chambers by all that is clean Why do you hate sparkling clean? I just don't understand Actually, it doesn't matter. I don't care about your reasons You have violated my personal space and you will now suffer my immaculate wrath Okay, then. Um, yes, sure thing. Yep. Okay. Um, what is he? Oh my gosh, I swear these guys just get easier and easier Except he can do a lot of those so we're gonna put on a lot of those Um Oh, he's so dead.  He's got By himself, this is just trouble for him Can't believe he has 6,000 health. What is this like? Dragon spire Jay's He doesn't even cheat. So he's like super easy super bad Super duper bad Um, I mean I really want to save this to get uh Yeah, we're just gonna discard you because you're useless Oh, not that useless, but we're not going to use you. I want to use a wind. That'd be really cool Wind would be alert Um, so the things that are really annoying that you can use is icy freight and water e-freak, which is the storm and ice versions Um, they both give either a minus 90 or minus 75 to the next, um A spell so That's kind of silly Or kind of good. We're gonna save that epic. Um, we're gonna discard one because of the deonite that we discarded And we're hopefully gonna get a Wind and boom boom bam with he's dead Oh look, there we go. We've got another shed as well two blades and what he's got a oh, we might actually put three Just three for fun. Yes. I think so. I think so You see that could have been a Uh, e-freak. He's got both masters and both spell storm and ice so yeah boost fire and uh, the other thing which is myth.  Nope good. Okay. He's definitely dead. If he did a nice e-freak Oh, that would have been annoying Would have been nearly dead. I would have cried probably Hello How much can this do with three blades? Okay. Yep. There. Well, that's enough to kill him. That's pretty good Pretty good with three blades and a couple bits of Um brace so yeah Are you happy and now it's filthy in here. Oh, you don't see any dirt How can you say that there's dirt literally everywhere? It's going to take me weeks to decontaminate this place Look, if you want to talk you'll have to meet me in my cleaning supply cave Um, that does not sound sketchy at all, but whatever whatever No, I think he's the same voice actor that does both, um, bootchbeard and horcules and pyro 101 Well, if you wanted to get my attention, you've certainly got it between you and those mud swirlers. You've rendered my tent Uninhabitable Oh, you're here about the warning. You mean you don't know it's ir kala the dark genie the dismal Dowager, she has returned ir kala once ruled all the gin She made us do terrible things But centuries ago she was trapped in a bottle and buried beneath the sands Somehow during the sandstorm ir kala was set free and she's put all gin on notice She sent the mud swirlers, but she won't stop there Ir kala's return means dark times for all mirage That's why I sent the warning if the nomads don't know tell them they must prepare Go now Okay, I'll let us head on over to sun diago. Nice to be placed there sand be gone. Okay Okay, then um And I think that's probably where we're going to end off the episode Load please that would be nice of you. Thank you sun diago Let's get get get go At last you returned from the pale ones abode What danger looks in the desert? Tell me it's not just a shortage of cleaning supplies. Ha ha I apologize. I must have misunderstood. I know you did not speak of ir kala the dark genie the dismal dowager. She's What she's returned This but I don't understand She was imprisoned centuries ago in an enchanted bottle and entombed with her master the dark Overlord zerxes You don't think no it cannot be quickly wizard. You helped us before but our need is now even greater You must go west and investigate Overlord zerxes is entombed in the alcali barrels Go and ensure the barrels are undisturbed the sands have settled and the way is clear go Okay, so next time we will be heading into the alcali barrels, which is the next area I mean usually the hub isn't a main area that I would say but in this case It is because there's a bunch of quests that Result in defeating like a whole bunch of bosses. So yeah Next time we'll be heading into the barrels, which is out here vast deserty thing um So, yeah, thank you for watching room to live a like and subscribe and if you're for a subscribe press the Weird Little Bells to know exactly when I post another video and remember craft outside the box


There will be a major dip around the Bitcoin halving. I think a lot of people would welcome a crash. I think the institutions are trying as hard as they can not to let that happen. For the first time in history, Bitcoin broke through its previous all-time high before the anticipated halving. Now, what does this tell us about the nature of this bull run? Is it too late to get involved at this point? And what are the tools you should learn to make the most out of this cycle? To find out, I talked to two very special guests who need no introduction. Aaron and Austin Arnold, the founders of YouTube channel Artcoin Daily. I couldn't think of anyone else with a better understanding of the current sentiment, the hottest trends and where this market is going. You don't want to go through this whole cycle without taking out your initial investment. Be prepared for the Solana ETF. Be prepared for the Chainlink ETF. Before we dive in, I'm thrilled to announce the upcoming return of BlockShow, the leading event in the crypto and blockchain industry. This time, it's teaming up with BlockDown, a pioneer in the Web3 conference scene. Get ready to join us in Hong Kong for this crypto celebration from May 8th to 9th. Don't miss out. Click the link in the description to learn more about this event. And remember, early bird tickets are limited. And now let's get into it. What do you think about the current bull cycle if we compare it to previous bull cycles that we saw in the past? I would say, number one, the demand shock and the supply shock have never been more clear. Crypto enthusiasts know about the supply shock that happens at the halving where the supply faucet gets cut in half, which usually means if demand just stays the same, price goes up. That's always been clear. The demand shock this cycle pre-having is so obvious just because we're seeing the amount of Bitcoin being mined into existence every day. We always have known that and the amount of accumulation that BlackRock Fidelity, all these institutional players are doing is explosive in a sense. And that's why price is going up. And that is a major difference between this cycle and I would say every other past cycle we've seen in crypto that largely it has been retail driven in the past cycles. Retail was in before the institutions. This cycle, it's the institutions that are buying like crazy and retail largely isn't here yet based on the social engagement, based on Google trends. So we're pre-retail. And if I could jump in, I just want to say that this time is different. People always ask, is this time different? And it's such a meme because participants in the market mistakenly take that to mean, oh, we're never going to correct again because this time is different. The market's always going to go in ebbs and flow. There's always going to be bull markets and bear markets. And every single asset that has a fluctuating price that always happens. I would say, however, that this time is very different. And maybe you can put up on the screen the technology adoption life cycle chart. And this is a chart where there is a big chasm in between early adopters and early majority. And I want to say this time is different because in my belief, Bitcoin has crossed that major chasm. It's no longer early adopters. Now we're in the early majority.   These are the most successful ETFs in history. Like my brother said, Wall Street is in. For real this time, that is a big differentiator. And although Bitcoin has crossed that chasm as the early majority, crypto at large has not. So there's tons of opportunity in crypto. There's tons of opportunity in Bitcoin. I wanted to just dive a bit deeper into this sentiment question. So Alco in the alias, we know is one of the biggest YouTube channels in crypto. And of course you have the pulse of the market in the sense that you get the response from the audience. People are watching you and they show their emotions, their interest. So looking at your audience, at the behavior of your audience lately, what is it telling you about the current crypto bull market? I think that there's maybe a sentiment in the broader market of crypto that everybody's bullish. Everybody thinks Bitcoin's getting over $100,000 tomorrow. I would say that a lot of crypto Twitter or at least the audience that I'm seeing, the OGs that subscribe to Altcoin Daily, they're ready. They've dollar cost average in. They're smarter. They've been learning. There is a lot of newer people that came in the last six months, 12 months that are underweighted. They're hoping for a crash. They're not ultra bullish. They would love a 20% dip. So I think that there's a lot of confusion in the markets, that people weren't ready for this run-up so fast. Everybody's of course a long-term bullish. But I think a lot of people would welcome a crash. I think the institutions are trying as hard as they can not to let that happen. I personally wonder whether we are going to see a big crash when the halving is going to happen. So the halving may be a classic buy-the-rumor-sell-the-news sort of event. What do you think? Giovanni, essentially what you're asking is, should we expect volatility in crypto for a major event? I personally am. Now we were very vocal on the channel that the Bitcoin ETF approvals, at least I was that it would be at least a mini buy-the-rumor-sell-the-news. I always expect that. Look for the best. Prepare for the worst. But I think something we're seeing this cycle is any dip has been bought up quickly. For example, we touched all-time highs. We dipped back to $64,000, $63,000. That's a multi-thousand dollar dip and it got bought up quickly, at least for now. Anything could happen. But I personally am expecting that buy-the-rumor-sell-the-news, but I'm prepared if it doesn't happen. Blackrock and Fidelity and all these Bitcoin ETF issuers seem to not be letting it happen. They don't want to get fall behind. They want to accumulate Bitcoin for their ETF, so prepare for everything. And I just echo what Austin said. There will be a major dip around the Bitcoin having, a major dip, and it's going to scare a lot of people away. But dips in a Bitcoin bull market are meant for buy. There is a lot of hype around the possibility of an Ethereum ETF coming in May. Eric Balchunas, the senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, even said that there is a 70% possibility that he's going to be approved, but a lot of analysts don't really agree with that. So I'm not really sure about that one, guys. What do you think? The Ethereum ETF approval, the spot Ethereum ETF, 100% will happen. Now, why will it happen? The same reason the Bitcoin one had to get approved. The grayscale verdict, if there's futures products, there's got to be spot products. The fact that there's Ethereum and Bitcoin ETFs, spot ETFs in Canada, in Europe already, it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. Now, will it get delayed? That's very possible. We're not seeing at this point the reshuffling and refiling between the SEC and the applicants, like we saw in the months or so leading up to the approval of the Bitcoin one. Not that we can't see that. Now, it's important to note that BlackRock is a big player. BlackRock wants an Ethereum ETF, BlackRock's into the tokenization of real-world assets, and they have like a 99.9 win rate with the Ethereum ETF or with ETFs in general. So with the Ethereum ETF, if BlackRock stays in and doesn't pull out their application, it's going to get approved. It might get delayed, but it will get approved. We could see them pull out, so they don't lose on their win rate, but eventually it's going to get approved. Then more than that, that's incredibly bullish for crypto at large and Ethereum because people are finally starting to understand Bitcoin's token dynamics in that the supply flow gets cut in half every four years, insanely bullish, but Ethereum's supply decreases at a fairly consistent rate. Just the merge happened in, whenever that was 2020, 2021, Ethereum's supply has been shrinking. Bitcoin's supply flow shrinks, Ethereum's supply shrinks, it's deflationary, and people really haven't wrapped their heads around that yet. So if and when the spot Ethereum ETF gets approved, the same way we're seeing Bitcoin just melt up, we could see the same thing with Ethereum. In my opinion. Austin, what do you- I think, I love that answer, plain and simple, and a Bitcoin futures ETF was the reason we got a Bitcoin spot ETF. We already have an ETH futures ETF, so that was the same logic. My bias says it happens this year. And then be prepared for the Solana ETF, be prepared for the Chainlink ETF. I don't think that stuff happens anytime soon. I think Bitcoin and Ethereum have a lot better chance in the near term, but eventually Wall Street's going to want to have ETFs for all their products. They're not ideological. They're in it to put out products so they can make a regulated fee on them. What's Bitcoin and Ethereum? What are the crypto sectors that you feel more excited about at the moment, guys? I'm going to give you two, because maybe you'd consider this first answer a cop out. One of the biggest trends I'm excited for in this crypto bull market is transaction and store value. So that would be Bitcoin. And I've been bullish on that for years, but I think it's never been more obvious with the inflation, with the macro uncertainties in terms of governments, fiat money, in terms of the use case that Bitcoin was built for, we're seeing that now. So as a store value, Bitcoin this cycle, never been more clear. If I had to pick one other trend, I'm bullish on options are deep end, AI, gaming, etc. I'm bullish on all of them in different ways. But to me, what has the best product market fit has always been gaming. Just because gamers are spending hundreds of millions of dollars in in-game assets they don't own. Those were narratives from last cycle. The games and the integration have only got better. So to me, it's a no brainer crypto gaming. You know, a lot of these games have been building for years and it does take years to build a good triple A game and we're finally starting to see them come out in the market. And you know, gaming, it doesn't matter what the Fed does. It doesn't matter if Bitcoin's price is up. One good game will bring in millions of people. We know that one of the most important things besides picking the right trends is actually knowing how to exit the market at the right moment. We don't want our audience to go all the way up and then back down without actually gaining anything from this cycle. So what do you think is a good strategy for people that are watching us? Any suggestions, any recommendations in terms of taking profits? Okay, what's the best profit taking strategy? You don't want to go through this whole cycle without taking out your initial investment without locking in some profit. That's, you know, don't get burnt. Guys, there's so many people who get burnt. That's the one way you can't get burnt. If you get a 2x, 3x, whatever it is, take out your initial investment. You might be thinking, oh, but like if I keep it and I have that much more if it gets that high, pressing the sell button is the hardest thing to do. It's, you'll have a much better time. If you like have a plan in the beginning, I'm going to sell some when it gets to 20% up or 120% up, have a plan and stick to it and do not deviate. I would say that there's some Bitcoin, Ethereum and a few more quality alts that we talk about on our channel that I have a hodl position I'm not going to sell for a long time. You know, I'm going to sell maybe some, but there's some I'm just taking for this decade. And also the number, finally, this is my final thing. One of the number one mistakes that I see people make in every bull market is new people thinking that they can time the market and, oh, Bitcoin pumped up to 50,000 went from 30,000 to 50,000. Well, it's going to, you know, have a correction soon. I'll just move over to stablecoins. Then the market pumps up to 60,000. Now you're stuck in stablecoins thinking you can time the market that way. It's always bad news unless you're a professional experienced trader or at least have been in cryptocurrency for one full cycle, if not two. What would be your price target for Bitcoin or on a price range you're looking at for this Bitcoin bull cycle? I think just looking at history of Bitcoin cycles, we see the having effects price. You cut the supply faucet in half and demand just stays the same. Price is going to go up. Now everything we're seeing in the market from institutions, demand isn't staying the same. It's going to go up as well, which is even more bullish for price. But just basing off history, we see that the Bitcoin price has gone up at least 200% about 12-ish months after the having. Now, sometimes it was 400%. Sometimes it was a lot more. Obviously, the larger and as it gets, they'll be diminishing returns, but it's at least hit 200% if not more every time. Now, maybe because of diminishing returns this cycle, Bitcoin only increases 100%. 12-ish months after the having. Right now, Bitcoin is a little over, but let's just say when the having happens, maybe it will be around $60,000. My bull case for Bitcoin, $60,000, 100% gain would be $120,000. I wouldn't be surprised if we see something bigger than most people expect. There's a lot of bearish mentality nowadays because people got burned from their price predictions last cycle because everybody thought it was going to $100K. These ETFs, spot ETFs, a major difference, and I would just point to the chart of the gold ETFs from 2004 gets shared a lot on Twitter. As soon as the spot ETFs launched for gold, gold's price just melted up for the next years. It's possible we haven't even started the bull run yet. I tend to think we are, and it'll probably end around the same time it usually does, but I keep the possibility open that the bull run hasn't started yet because you can just look at the chart, hugely bullish, but at that time when there was way more demand because of the ETFs for gold, they started mining more gold. They do that with every single commodity, corn, if there's demand for corn, they produce more corn. With Bitcoin, they physically cannot do that, and in fact, the supply flow gets cut in half very soon, so if things go crazy, it would not surprise me. What can go wrong? What can disrupt this bullish narrative that we are all hoping for? A black swan event obviously could crash Bitcoin hard. A black swan event to me would be, these are very probability wise, very, very, very low probability, but a double spend problem, Bitcoin's code, a Bitcoin's code is public. It's been looked over by the smartest minds globally, but a double spend problem, maybe if Satoshi came out of the woodwork, and I'm not talking about emails, I'm talking about Satoshi's alive, here he is, I think that would be bad for Bitcoin in the short run. A little Bitcoin in the long run. And then other than that, if the Fed continues to raise rates, that's obviously bad for risk assets, so I don't think, I think Bitcoin, maybe a bull run would be dampened for Bitcoin. I think that would affect altcoins more, because the risk assets, maybe this bull run would be a Bitcoin, more Bitcoin driven bull run, if the Fed just stays higher for longer, but again, it looks like they're going to have to cut, markets are predicting they do cut later this year. Other than that, to me, there's nothing stopping Bitcoin. Supply and demand, open public code, it's never been more obvious, but obviously anything could happen. The market has not figured out how valuable this asset is, like crypto people have figured it out. And I'll jump in, I loved the answer my brother just gave. I would say that, I mean, obviously you and I are bullish and the people who do this every day for a living, but based on our comments, based on what I see when I watch TV, the consensus is bearish. I mean, still when they go on CNBC, although there's allies like Joe Kernan who understand things, Andrew Sorkin and the other hosts, I see all the time they're constantly just talking Bitcoin bulls down, which is kind of par for the core. So I'd say right now, the consensus is still bearish. I would say for the next nine months generally, I think there's a very low chance that Black Swan happens because this is an election year for the US. I would say we could see something in 2025 or 2026, but it's my personal opinion that a lot of people in the real world are bearish now and for the next nine, 11 months, I think we're going to see a bullish price action or bullish consolidation. You talk to the smartest people in crypto, people that have a lot of knowledge, a lot of experience. Can you give me three personalities that you think that our audience should follow in order to get great insights for these crypto markets? If I want to learn about gaming, I go to Elio Trades on YouTube, he is deep. He's given out the alpha. He's just in these telegrams, talking to these founders. So I love that. I think Mark Yusko, great for macro insights. He has some of our best performing videos in terms of interviews. Great for macro. And then other than that, I really like quant analysis, data-driven sort of more fundamental analysis from Benjamin Cowan into the cryptosverse. Those are three of my top three. Mark Cuban, his business savvy and tech savviness is unmatched. And he gets in there and he plays with the protocols.  Got to go Michael Saylor. I mean, there's nobody who can talk about where the demand and the value prop of Bitcoin is going to come from than Michael Saylor. Maybe just Kathy Wood. We haven't had her on the channel yet. And then this third guy, if you want, like AltcoinPix, and he's going to love it if he sees this in the interview, Kyle Chasse. Actually gives, he's a VC investor and founder and he actually gives a lot of great good alpha on Altcoins. Guys, thanks a lot. And let's keep in touch. Let's see how this bull market develops. Thank you for having us on. I will read Cointelegraph every single day as an aggregate to get the daily news. So honor being here. Thank you so much. And I guess my final thoughts of somebody from Altcoin Daily audience. Subscribe to Cointelegraph. Cointelegraph, hope to see you in our audience. And I just say, and I'm speaking certainly to the people of Ben and crypto for at least a cycle, there's a lot of opportunity in the next couple of years. Nobody knows the future, but I think there's a lot of opportunity. And don't rest on your laurels. Don't get lazy. The difference between making a hundred thousand dollars versus a million dollars is if you don't rest on your laurels, study the market every day and really, you know, stay in tune with that. Thanks guys.


Hey guys, Ken Ross here, and I'm a business consultant that specializes in reducing costs for businesses by looking at their essential expenses and today Boy, do I have a good one today? I went out and I was doing some research on the chip shortage and I found this article I landed on this article from the chief Officer of Intel talking about the chip shortage and how there were lots of predictions about how Long this was going to take how much it's affecting our economy as you can see there are various industries that have had to have shortage of certain supplies or certain Things that have dramatically affected how businesses work, you know, and I think honestly, it's hard to quantify There are people out there that are speculating on how big the effect is on the chip How big the chip shortage is affecting different industries the automotive industry being one of the bigger ones, right? But there are over a hundred and sixty different industries I have another link to another article I was I found when I was doing some research on how the chip shortage is affecting certain industries everything from Air conditioning units to things that you just wouldn't think of are on this list So you really need to understand and and have a good grasp of what it is. That's going on because I think a lot of businesses have Already decided what they were going to do about this shortage well in advance But the longer this goes on right the more effect it will have on Businesses and that's something you really need to understand and really need to invest some time into Researching and that's why I wanted to bring it to you today I really do feel like as the chip shortage wanes on businesses need to be in a place where they can Pivot their business the best they know how but the chip shortage is affected even Apple, right? They have the most capital in the world they can leverage whatever Deals or relationships they have to make these iPhones. We're not seeing shortages of iPhones But we are seeing a slowdown in the way in which their products are being released They have slowed down their M1 production, right? They're roll out of the M1 chips As far as what computers are getting the new processors at what times it's all kind of been slowed down in this in this Very different economy right the economy that no one expected Because of the pandemic and then this chip shortage and then the supply chain issues, right? This is stuff you really need to understand because something as simple as the Automotive issues right because of the chip shortage affect something like transportation The new f-150 right the electric f-150 that's coming out a lot of people are really anticipating having these vehicles And if the chip shortage is slowing down the production of those vehicles, then they're unable to invest Use their investment wisely towards Saving the most money to do Transportation related issues and so that could ultimately raise prices and that's that's something that most people know where it's simple economics, but How how long is this going to go? That's the question and will we continue to see bad news like this? I don't know what the answer is all I know is that as a business consultant and as someone who really wants to look at cost This is something that really interests me and why I wanted to bring it up to you Once again check all the links in the descriptions to the various articles that I research I just I have a couple of them in there and You know do your own research. These are ones that I'm really You know really wants you to check out so go ahead and take a look at that Let me know your thoughts down below in the comment section below How is the chip shortage really affecting your business or how long do you think it's going to take? And that's something I really want to have a good discussion about something I would love to hear your comments and feedback on and it's something I pride myself with letting Letting people know about making raising awareness right to what it is.
