Lawton's Revenge: Crypto Combat Rekt Or Rich

Previously on Crypto Combat.
>> That is right. We are back.
>> Pro traders throw real money into
real-time crypto chaos.
>> Already in the money about 200 bucks,
folks.
>> I don't want to be accused.
>> I've just got to go hardcore.
>> But get in the trade so he can't get
filled.
>> Oh my god. Market sell your hyper liquid
at home.
>> And just now from the helicopter live
hot from the sky.
>> I do want to give a big shout out to
Weeks, our sponsor. We're going to sneak
up from behind them and grab that
victory.
>> I'll let you come from behind anytime
you want. Uh let's I need this keep
going.
>> PLEASE. GO DOWN.
>> Oh my gosh.
>> The first and last time you're ever
going to see me lose.
>> Thank you guys for all the support out
there. My my winning trophy.
>> Welcome to Crypto Combat, wrecked or
rich. Where pro traders throw real money
into real-time crypto chaos for cash,
glory, and eternal bragging rights. Real
money, real trades, and real
consequences. You're about to learn some
serious trading lessons between the
trash talk. Let's find out who has the
best trading skills or who is getting
wrecked.
>> Everybody to Crypto Combat. We're here
every Friday 1:30 p.m. Eastern Standard
Time. I'm your host Nick Valdez joined
with Tabby. Tabby, how are you doing?
>> Hey, I'm Tabby, verified host. I'm so
excited for this because last week was
so insane. [music] It was insanely funny
and the trades were just crazy. It was
it was so entertaining.
>> That's right. These people are going to
get wrecked or rich. Sometimes we see up
to 200, 250, even 300 x leverage.
[music] And we had some close calls on
liquidations last week. Very, very close
where we're We had one trader trading
Solana. They got within one penny of a
liquidation and then almost grabbed the
victory from the clutches of defeat
there. Uh so I'm really looking forward
to this episode. Now, any kind of
predictions you got for today?
>> Well, I mean the chat is already
predicting so much. We've got like four
people already saying Lawton, Lawton,
Lawton. One's my money's on Lawton
today. So, everyone's voting for Lawton
today. We'll see if he [music] can take
that trophy from Garrett.
>> Now, yeah, you may have seen it in the
clip. Lawton quite upset over what
happened last week cuz Garrett Sollaway
was the champion. Garrett Sollaway's
he's on today's episode as well. He's
going to try to take the belt 2 weeks in
a row. So, I think I think there's going
to be a lot of high stakes today.
>> Yeah, and we can't forget about Drew. We
also have Drew. He might be our our
sleeper hero that might come in and
[music] steal everything.
>> Yeah, Drew's the one who narrowly
escaped liquidation there. And I'm I'm
trying to say liquidation as many times
as possible, folks. Don't you worry. Hit
the like button if you if you hear me
say it more than a dozen times at least.
But, uh folks, we are going to go ahead
and I think just go ahead and introduce
our traders here. First one, I mean, we
might as well just go kick it off with
the champion from last week, Garrett
Sollaway. Garrett, how are you doing
today?
>> I'm doing well. I'm wearing my belt. Uh
it's on tight. I've locked the door
because these other two gentlemen last
week were threatening to come up from
behind. So, I'm just making sure I'm
safe and I can repeat this victory and
just prove again that the king is the
king.
>> The king is the king. Now, Drew, it was
you that said I'm coming up from behind.
Do you have any color for that
commentary?
>> Well, that's always a good strategy.
Sleeper hold. I'm always in the underdog
scenario when I'm going against these
two guys. I like that position because
then all of a sudden when that victory
is mine, everybody is a little
surprised. And also, it makes it that
much sweeter. So, I'm excited for it.
Got a great shot. As you said, I
narrowly escaped liquidation. It was 2
weeks ago, but then I ended up coming
out on top. So, let's kind of let's
repeat [music] all of that. Let's make
it happen today. Going for all the
tokens, baby.
>> Now, Lawton, don't bring up that Drew
likes that position or that he's going
to be on top. But, Lawton, how are you
doing today as well?
>> I just want to say last week was a sham.
They conspired against me
to put me down. They knew I need to be
put at a disadvantage.
And you know what? It was rigged. It was
absolutely rigged. It was bought. It was
bought. I don't believe it. I do not
accept those results. And listen, okay?
I've taken all the pocket money, all the
grocery money that my family has. So, my
kids are not going to eat if I don't win
this week. But, I know I'm going to eat.
So, not only did I double down on
myself, I bet my kids' allowance on this
too. So, I will not lose this week.
>> All right, he said he might not accept
those results. We might have a January
6th situation over here.
>> All of Latin's children, I guess, are
dying
just for him to win. So,
>> let's just hope that doesn't happen
today, folks, at least. Now, let's go
ahead and go over the rules for today's
episode.
>> [music]
>> Let's talk rules and scoring. Each
trader starts with $10,000, which resets
every episode. 45 minutes on the game
clock. All trades must be closed when
the timer hits zero. No limits on
position size or leverage. The trader
with the highest profit, plus bonuses,
wins.
>> Here are the extra bonuses our traders
will be competing for. Degen mode,
roast master,
the YOLO,
Hail Mary,
Braveheart, and they can also be
assessed penalties.
>> Right, I do want to give a quick
shoutout to our sponsor Week Forward
today's episode. The winner is going to
get 500 USDT on that platform. So, uh
say you won, would you be willing to
open a leverage trade?
>> Oh my goodness. I I don't know. I still
need to learn about all the the
leverages, cuz the amount of times you
guys say that, that yeah.
>> I say just start out with a 100X, you
know, just flip a coin and choose a
direction.
>> Whatever you say, Nick, I trust you.
>> All right, well, that'll be her first
mistake. Now, everybody, let's go ahead
and activate that timer. They're going
to have 45 minutes to execute these
trades. Whoever has the most funds at
the end is going to be the winner.
>> [music]
>> All right. I think we're ready to go.
Are we ready to start that timer? Let's
go.
>> All right. Now, Gareth, you kicked
things off last week with a really quick
trade. I know Landon, he always has
itchy palms, too.
Drew, do you have any What What are you
guys looking at? Well, did Landon just
get into trade?
>> I'm [music] trying to, but it's
not
>> Uh-oh, it must be It must be rigged
against him again, guys.
>> on. Hold on. Hold on. I'm putting it in.
1 2 3 1 2 3 Got to count my zeros for a
million dollars. All right, I'm going to
short Ethereum.
You know what? I'm just going to drag my
price down. Make sure I get in here.
All right, I am short Ethereum $1
million
250 [music]
X leverage. Let's go, baby. Right here,
you see on my screen,
>> [music]
>> I have a beautiful
beautiful head and shoulders pattern
that uh
just broke. [music] And anyone else who
copies this trade, you're just copying
me. So, you're not allowed to do it. Not
allowed. Sorry.
>> Now, a fun fact about a head and
shoulders trade, that is a continuation
trade. And when that bar hits that
neckline after the second shoulder,
oftentimes you might see that trade move
from crown of the head to the neckline,
that fall will be equal to that
distance. A little technical analysis
for you there.
>> Thank you.
>> Now, Drew, Gareth, are you thinking
about copy trading? Are you thinking
about counter trading, even?
>> Not at [clears throat] all. Yeah,
looking to
write my own playbook at this stage,
guys. I'm looking to get into XRP. XRP
has had a near-term 1-minute breakout on
the chart, and we are retracing that
breakout as we speak. So, I'm going to
go ahead and just jump in right now with
a market order of half a million dollars
>> [music]
>> with XRP getting filled as we speak. We
can see here where this declining trend
line is coming from. It's from this
pivot point right here connected through
all of those pivots and we can see we
recently broke out. I've since then
retested that breakout area and are
trying to put in a bounce. Let's see if
this bounce can continue pushing up on
the charts. We do have a break-even
price up here at about a buck 004. So, I
need just a slight little push and I'm
going to be already in the money. As I
said, I used half a million dollars on
this and I do have 200X leverage on this
particular trade getting filled as we
speak, guys.
>> All right. Now, Gareth, we have a long
and a short. You combine it, we got a
schlong opened. What are you thinking
about as far as trades go?
>> Yeah, so I just put out a limit order on
AVAX. Uh you had this beautiful surge up
here. If we go to my charts, and on the
charts, you can see we had this break up
and now we're having a retrace. So, if
we can come back into this former zone
right here, if I zoom in, you can see
all of this technical support right
here. And so, if we can get back to
about $6.45,
I'm going to go long on AVAX here. Um
[music] going heavy. We're doing 100 100
plus I think 150X leverage trade here if
we can get this pullback.
>> Now, Gareth, last week you had a chase
the trade. Are you worried about this
one pulling away from your entry point?
>> A little bit. I like the price action in
crypto right now. Um I got to be honest,
like if flushed early in the day, I mean
we were talking about this how um you
know, everything's now shooting back to
the upside. I'm net bullish. I think
Bitcoin broke out of a descending daily
trend line, but I got to remain
disciplined because especially with
leverage, if you're not disciplined,
they will eat you.
>> They'll eat those shorts.
>> They'll eat those shorts. So, we've got
a poll going on right now. If you guys
are voting, it's I've been watching
these levels here, my own levels,
everybody. Um so, now we got Gareth
ahead in the lead, 57% are voting for
Gareth to win.
Lawton and Drew are kind of Lawton's at
25%, Drew's at 17%.
So, Gareth has the really big
>> You know, they say in trading the trend
is your friend and Gareth is the winner
from last week, so maybe they're
expecting a continuation of that
pattern.
>> We'll see. We'll see if that happens.
Keep voting. The vote is still open.
I see it moving. Some more people voted
for Drew.
>> There we go. Is is is it Drew's alt
account, you think?
>> Hard money, baby.
>> [laughter]
>> What I'm going to do here, too, guys,
I'm going to open a position on Bitcoin.
Now, this is a little bit of a dicey
one. We're currently right on a
resistance trend line on Bitcoin. You
can see that in essence pivot high here,
pivot high there. And we're going to cut
through that, right these pivots. And
so, we're on the cusp of a potential
breakout on the 10-minute. We've put in
some This is the 15-minute time frame,
by the way, but you see here, we put in
1 2 3 4 5 15-minute candles all sideways
trying to build momentum. Now, why this
is risky is that we could get rejected
at this area. However, I don't have
enough time to sit back and wait for
price to get rejected. We need to play
what we're anticipating to happen and
this is bullish consolidation. And so,
I'm waiting for
I just a maybe a little bit more of a
downtick, get towards the bottom of this
15-minute candle, and then I will
initiate that buy order for about half a
million bucks
on Bitcoin.
And here we go.
>> go long?
>> There we go. We're just going to go
ahead and put it out there. So, we've
now got two
trades in the hopper,
both Bitcoin
>> your long Bitcoin, Drew?
>> Long Bitcoin, long XRP.
>> All right, I'm looking to short Bitcoin.
>> [music]
>> Um million dollars. Not a million. I I
didn't do it. I'm I'm putting a lot of
Drew fans in the chat. I'm not a copy
trader. I'm actually doing the inverse.
So, I'm looking to short Bitcoin. If
Bitcoin can pop back up slightly, I will
look to short Bitcoin a million dollars
using 250 x leverage.
>> Oh, wow. 250 x leverage. Now, what I
find interesting here is we have a trend
line. Some are saying it's going to
reject. Some are going to say it's going
to break through.
>> [music]
>> Now, Gareth, you're the man in the
middle. Maybe the man in the mirror.
But, what what are you looking at here?
>> I partially filled. I'm short
uh
how much?
I'm only got filled on 600,000
unfortunately here on Bitcoin.
Let's have this come down.
Sorry, go ahead, Gareth.
>> No, I'm I'm I'm keeping an eye on HBAR
here. HBAR has retraced after a pretty
good move up. Um if it can just pull
back a little bit more, I'm going to get
in a long on this using about 170 x
leverage on this one. Um but again, you
can see right here. Look at all of this
these kind of like resistance hits.
Then, it got up here. It came back
tested. So, if we can come down just a
little bit more, I'm going to go long on
this. I I think the play is buy the
pullback right now um versus short the
rip.
>> Now, Gareth, do you think that's a a
head and shoulders fake out situation
going on there?
>> Yeah, this this area over here on the
chart is not a big enough um resistance
point, right? So, if we take a look at
the chart, let's look at the chart here.
Um
this this to me doesn't look like a good
enough shoulder to be considered a head
and shoulders. Maybe a very minor one.
But, I think again with all of these
pivot points along the way, it's worth
it especially for such a short show
where we got to perform real quick here.
And it's starting to downtick a little
getting closer here. One more little
flush, I'll jump on board here.
>> All right, jumping on board. I want to
jump on board some of these trivia
questions. Now, do we have any fun
trivia for the chat?
>> All right, so
>> Guys, I'm now in the money in Ethereum.
Look at this, $1,000 in the money. I
don't know what's what my camera's
pointing down, but I don't know what
just happened to my camera, but if you
look at my chart, my screen,
the point
>> [laughter]
>> the price of Ethereum
>> What You said you're in the money, did
you make any yet?
>> No.
I I did not make money. You saw it come
down there. Good fall so far, but I
don't Again, I I'm not sure with my
camera. I think Drew that's Drew's
specialty from the under.
>> [laughter]
>> Hey, the polls are in, by the way.
>> I always wonder
with the name last name of Ho where he
gets that dirty mouth.
>> Yeah,
>> [laughter]
>> speaking of Ho, our our total poll
answers is 69
with 26% voting for Lawton to win, 19%
for Drew, and of course Gareth is still
in the lead at 55% to win.
>> Drew, you're going to have to take a
victory start pumping those numbers up.
>> But yeah, maybe let's get into some
trivia. So, what we got here coming in
hot live fresh from the jet ski this
time.
Charles Hoskinson founded which altcoin?
We got A, Cardano, B, XRP, C, Solana, or
D, Fartcoin.
>> Well, a lot of people say he's full of
hot air.
I don't know if it's D. What what are
the traders thinking here?
>> I think it's Cardano.
>> Yeah, I'm leaning Cardano.
>> All right, then.
>> XRP.
>> Oh.
Well, you're wrong, Lawton. It's
Cardano.
>> [laughter]
>> Good job, Drew and Gareth.
And the chat, too, the chat was mostly
correct. Most people voted A.
>> You You a lot of people actually don't
know this. He was one of the co-founders
of Ethereum.
>> Oh, really?
>> Now, Vitalik Buterin, he was the founder
of Ethereum, but Charles Hoskinson was
the first CEO of the Ethereum
Foundation, if I'm not mistaken.
>> Wow, how that's so cool.
>> one of the first 10 employees, and then
kind of left on some say bad terms, and
then he went and founded Cardano.
>> That's the way to go.
You can start your own. [music]
>> He might not have been enough of a robot
for Vitalik, and if you ever see that
guy speak, you would know what I'm what
I'm talking about here.
>> You ever tried making your own coin?
currency
>> No, people have made coins in my name,
and then even sent me Now, we're getting
a little bit deeper in the weeds here,
liquidity pool tokens, like giving me
some of the supply, like I'll I'll back
it.
No, I'm not I'm not going to do it.
There's [laughter] not going to be any
Deezy coin anytime soon.
>> How do you make one just have a funny
name?
>> [music]
>> Well, do you have you any ideas?
>> No. Well,
yes, but no.
>> Okay. Okay.
>> There are
>> Is it one of those
you can't say on camera?
>> That that's exactly where I'm going.
Okay.
>> [laughter]
>> I guys, I canceled my AVAX order. Um
it's already kind of floating a little
bit here too much. Um I did throw out a
Solana order. Uh not been filled yet,
but if it comes down a little bit more,
I do like Solana down in this range, uh
just below 7540
here, if it just can down tick a little
bit more.
How's Lawton doing? Does he have his
camera fixed yet, or is he still uh
>> I I did manage to fix I fixed the
camera. Hello, everyone.
And Ethereum
pushed back up a little bit, but it's
all good. We're slightly in the money
there. We were about
a couple hundred bucks in the money over
just over a thousand bucks in the money.
But now Ethereum pushing back up, just
kind of sitting here.
Um not the most volume, but you guys can
see my break even price here after the
fees, right? Cuz I'm using a lot of
leverage. And then you see I'm going to
look for around $1,800 profit. I need
Ethereum. You see this clear shoulder
head shoulder with that measured move
down here to 1876.
Um so let's take a look and see what it
ends up doing.
>> Lot, do you have any theories on why the
camera zoomed in below your waistline?
>> Yeah, Drew took control and he was like,
"You know what? Listen, you know what I
really want to see right now?"
>> Oh, not the hand ringing.
>> I know. I know. It's Yep.
>> [music]
>> Where's the HR department, guys?
>> There's There's no such thing in crypto.
>> They're on vacation. [laughter]
>> Yeah, there there really isn't.
>> They're always on vacation.
>> Yeah, especially on Crypto Combat
Fridays.
>> Yep.
>> They leave early.
>> [laughter]
>> All right, now we are down about 32
minutes left. We haven't closed a trade
yet, so the traders are still sitting at
a zero P&L, but that is going to change
very rapidly, folks. Don't you worry.
>> change. It's going to get exciting down
to the last minute.
>> I would love to get into some trades.
>> to see a Hail Mary and uh folks, we're
going to have some fun memes for you and
all types of cool stuff.
>> Sounds like GE is
on the sideline though.
>> I have a question. I have a question.
I'm not saying this is going to happen,
but I have a question for the referees,
for the hosts.
My question is
if
let's say, you know,
uh by some crazy unlikely scenario I
take a loss
>> [laughter]
>> What's going on here?
>> and by some other crazy crazy way
>> [laughter]
>> that also Drew takes a loss and Garrett
does not actually take a trade,
>> [laughter]
>> is he still allowed to win by not
trading?
>> Discipline is
is the win.
>> I I don't know if I could uh we might
just have to penalize Garrett enough
where he isn't the winner in that case.
>> [laughter]
>> I mean, Drew, dude, you got to stop with
this camera, man. It just keeps Yeah,
the chat's saying it's called the junk
cam. It just keeps
>> filled on I'm filled on Solana. I am in
a position. Here we go.
Ooh. Uh here he goes again.
>> now Gareth, can we share your screen
here? Let's uh look in on this trade.
Can you Can you kind of talk us through
the the setup on
>> Yeah.
>> you know, what what made you identify
this?
>> So, let's jump to my screen here. Let me
uh I think you the back
the development or or our video
department needs to share it. I'm not
able to click on mine.
Uh
Okay, yeah. I'm not sure what's going on
there. We're having all sorts of
technical
>> Watton's camera, Drew leaped and ran out
of the room like he was the Hamburglar.
>> All right, I'm going to unshare my
screen and reshare it. We'll see if that
works here. Let's see.
Can we get it there? Can it pop up?
There we go. All right, so So, let me
walk through the technicals on this. Uh
basically, what we had here is a
descending trend line right through the
that low. So, you have this pullback low
of from the breakout. And then also, you
have all of this technical [music]
support right in this vicinity.
Um so again, the idea here is we should
We're kind of making this bullish
pattern. Uh assuming we don't get a
flush here, which it's trying to flush,
but we're still okay.
>> Keep dumping. Let's go. Let's go. Let's
go. Let's go. Listen, this is my moment.
You will not take this away from me. You
might
Drew [laughter] might be going for the
junk cam. Gareth [music] might have
other worldly forces on his side.
But, I will not
>> A comment just said Gareth is using
distraction theory on Watton.
>> All right, now I'm just going to make
sure I get filled. Get me out.
>> [music]
>> Just get me out.
>> Leslie Herbert, that comment was great.
>> go. Let's go. I just made
a
It closed in lot. So, you have to give
me a second.
>> [music]
[laughter]
>> I have no idea. And I do want to give a
quick shout out to a week while we're
doing this. If you do an a 10x position,
you're probably not going to have to
close in lots like that, but you know,
when you're using 100, 200x, it becomes
a pretty large size order.
>> I have no idea, but I did make money. I
believe I made it just about a I made
Okay, look at Take a look at my screen.
There it is. Thank you. I made 1,635
USDT 40% profit. [music]
>> Jeez.
>> You might be able to put the junk cam
away after this.
>> He is [clears throat] making it easy,
guys. Wow.
>> Good for you.
>> I got about 30 minutes on the clock.
>> And long as these guys says this is
going up, both of them are betting on
the long side, but this
>> Listen, this is what I do, guys. This is
what I do.
Stop playing with me.
>> We will see if you can win, though.
We'll see if we can keep it.
>> Blotter does
>> Hey, hey, hey, what is that graphic?
[laughter]
>> Why do you have so much time?
>> These guys got these These graphic
designers have too much time on their
hands.
>> [music]
>> That's all I'm going to say.
>> [laughter]
>> All right, here we go. Let's go.
>> I did add to my XRP position, guys. So,
now this thing did go against me. We did
play a little breakout retrace play. It
went through this trend line as you see
price action coming down. I did get
filled right up here at a dollar.0015,
and look at that flush right through
that trend line. That's [music] a failed
breakout for the meantime, but we'll see
if these low pivots can hold price much
like the last pierce here. [music] Maybe
we can get a nice uh recovery and push
right back up. You see my break-even
price here at a dollar.0031.
So, we're not that far away. Any sort of
move up to a dollar.005,
I would make $3,500
on this trade. So, we just need a little
bit of a bounce here on XRP, put us
right there in the winner circle.
>> Well, Drew
>> You triggered the brave heart there,
Drew. You're adding to a losing position
and that's going to give you a little
bonus at the end.
>> All right. Come on. Give me the green.
>> What do you mean you want me to win?
What is that? What is [laughter] the
favoritism from the host?
>> You win too much.
>> I'm 0 for 1. What do you mean?
>> Look at that attitude.
>> I know I'm favored.
>> Look at that attitude.
>> Drew never gives me attitude.
>> the best odds to win. I get it, but
still
>> [laughter]
>> You're not allowed to play favorites
here.
>> All right. How about this, Lot? Your
next insult, we maybe will give you the
roast master.
>> Yeah, I don't know. It's coming up fast,
I'm sure.
>> Yeah, he's not going to win.
>> them all the bonuses in the world. They
need their bonuses. You They can have my
bonuses. I don't even care.
Let them have it.
>> Come on. I need a god here to just put
him in his place.
>> a god candle. It's the one.
You know what? Bitcoin's going lower. It
broke the head and shoulders you said
was not a head and shoulders and it
keeps going lower. I'm almost in the
money on Bitcoinieus. Listen, that's
There's a reason they call me Cumula-
Cumula- Cumulus Nimbus Latonius
Bitcoinieus. And this is why. This is
what I do.
>> He cast shade like it's no like it's no
others. He's cast shade, man.
>> Let's go. One more drop in Bitcoin
and we'll be nicely in the money.
Let's go. Come on. Flush.
>> Now, Gareth, we have the prices falling
down. I believe you were opening longs.
Could we Could we check in on your
positions again?
>> Yeah, and it's it's not pretty right
now. I even added a little bit to
the position and I'm getting close to
liquidation. Could I get wiped out?
Could I get wiped out today?
>> go. Look at this fall ON BITCOIN.
>> OH, NO. IT'S right there. No.
Don't Don't liquidate. No.
>> Let me look to
take profits here.
>> I can't look.
>> I can't look.
>> [laughter]
>> Come on, there we go. Bounce, bounce,
bounce.
>> Now Gareth, how much of your portfolio
did you throw in on this?
>> Dude, I am all in. I am How long have we
got? Like 10 minutes left? 15 minutes
left?
>> Bitcoin.
I don't know how much money I ended up
making, but I'm all out.
I am up $1,300 on a 10K portfolio
in just over 20 minutes of trading.
Who else can do that?
Who else can do that? Count them up,
1,300 bucks. 1,300% No, 13% return on my
portfolio in 20 minutes. Who can do
that? There's no one better. There's no
one better.
Listen, I told you. You doubted me. I
saw the polls. I saw the chat.
>> Time Time is still You guys still got a
little time.
>> over? Is the game over? Is the game
over?
>> Yeah, I don't know.
Did you hear the bell, Drew? I mean, uh
>> I didn't hear any bell. Like uh
>> Why don't we go back to the crotch shot?
>> Between Drew and Gareth, 55% Drew and
45%
Gareth.
>> [laughter]
>> He's going back and forth.
>> Oh.
All right, well I'm still
killing.
>> Uh we don't really I'm going to put my
feet up and let Solana do its thing.
>> [laughter]
>> My trades are not going too well. We
need XRP to pop up, but like I said,
it's so close, guys. We're We're talking
about 3/10 of [music] a penny, and I'm
at break even. And if we get 5/10 of a
penny, I'm winning this whole contest.
I'm up 2,500 bucks. So all we need is
just a fraction of a fraction, and then
I'm in the winner's circle. Now you can
see though, I'm down $1,800 on the trade
at the moment. Uh with XRP Bitcoin down
about $870,
too. So mainly riding this XRP, have not
yet added to Bitcoin.
Um so just waiting on XRP to push up.
Now if I flip over to Bitcoin, you can
see I do have that lurking liquidation
number two underneath price action. It's
all the way down there, $62,500.
So, we've got a ways yet, but if I do
try to add anything, which I really
can't. I've already I'm all in. I'm all
in. This is the Braveheart Hail Mary
move, and we're just counting on XRP to
just get a little bit of a pop here.
>> All right, Drew. I voted for you. I want
you to win.
>> Let's go. Let's go.
>> money's better than yours. [laughter]
>> Oh, XRP's coming back up right now.
>> Right now, I'm down 30%. Come on, here
we go. All right, so I want to point
this out, too, folks. And so, number
one, this is a game that we do every
Friday after an intense week of trading,
and we just have fun, right? And so,
we're not abiding by proper money
management and all that other nonsense.
This is just we just 45 minutes, you
either go home with lots of money or you
go home with zero, basically. And so,
obviously, don't trade like this at
home, right? So, uh that's number one.
Number two is my average price on
Solana, check this out, is basically
75 25 27, maybe. My liquidation price is
75 09. So, my margin, I mean, that's how
much leverage I am using in this trade,
where literally, if this thing falls 15
cents, I'm liquidated. So, I want to
point that out is that I would never
trade like this, but in this game, this
is what we do.
>> And folks, if you are a disciplined
trader, please check out Weiks. We're
going to have a link down below, and
we're going to have all types of awesome
sign-up bonuses up to 15K USDT. Uh you
know, but this is a lot of volume,
folks, so you know, don't don't expect
that, for sure, but uh we definitely
have a link down below if you want to
learn more. I say go all in on a 100X
trade for your first one.
>> For me? Oh my gosh.
I I still don't understand the fees. I
think the fees are unfair. If I were
president, I would eliminate all of the
fees.
>> Are you, so you're like a Mom and Pop
grocery store person?
>> Sure. I'm not sure what you're saying.
This sounds like a bunch of funny words.
So,
anyways, are we ready for another
trivia?
>> [laughter]
>> I think so.
>> Okay.
>> Can I just say really quick that listen,
[music]
I learned my lesson from last time.
I'm playing defense this time. If
Bitcoin goes lower, I'm going long a
million dollars.
>> [laughter]
>> If it drops.
What is that? Just I can't go long just
because I went short earlier?
I don't want to hear it.
>> you're hedging and we're long so that
you're good that that way you would
basically make it so we could not win.
>> Listen, you were like one penny from
liquidation and you want to talk to me
about hedging? Maybe if you hedged you
wouldn't have been wouldn't have been
one penny from liquidation.
>> But then why would this be called
Wrecked or Rich if we're going to hedge?
>> I don't know. All I know is you're
getting wrecked.
>> All right, fair enough.
>> for another trivia?
>> let's see where it is.
Come on, people need to buy XRP.
>> we're at about 20 minutes on the clock.
>> All the viewers, go pump it up just half
a penny.
>> [laughter]
>> A penny.
>> Hey.
>> All right, our next trivia.
>> Which of these is a privacy coin?
A, Ethereum, B, Monero, C, Dogecoin, or
D, Houdini?
>> [laughter]
>> B B B B B B. I would go B.
Monero.
>> The chat is also voting
>> [music]
>> for B. I see a couple B's in there.
Anybody else have any other ideas?
>> I'm long Bitcoin again.
>> Ah.
>> I am long Bitcoin one million dollars.
>> And I'm liquidated. I am out.
I am out. Out.
>> Holy crap. Wait, I'm losing a lot.
>> on this candle on this thing.
>> I got to I got to put a I got to put a
stop loss in, guys. Holy moly.
>> This is a you big red candle.
>> Yeah, hey, that that wrong graphic, but
could be true.
>> That could be true.
>> [laughter]
>> We need to have graphics for all of us
except apparently Latin.
>> Yeah, I don't know if they're
foreshadowing with that or not, but
apparently that's what they're trying to
say.
>> I'm long Bitcoin, yes.
>> I'm still hanging on. I may be in the
red, but I'm not liquidated, so count me
at least in second place for now.
>> Now, Drew, did you have an open position
on an XRP waiting to fill or are you
just fully deployed at this point?
>> I'm fully deployed. I got zero uh $0
USDT available. If I could, I would be
throwing some more at this. I think XRP
is due for a decent bounce. Bitcoin just
hit the VWAP of today's current session,
likely is due for a little bit of a
bounce. This rejection here at this
trend line is a little disappointing. I
know somebody did comment, one of the
commenters said, "Drew, you drew a
perfect trend line, then you went
against it and tried to play through
it." And yes, that was because of the
number of times that trend line was hit,
plus that bullish consolidation that was
taking place at that level. With limited
time on the clock, that made me just
decide, "All right, I just got to push
it." And if we get a break through
there, we would have a big score as that
would likely wouldn't be just a small
pierce of that trend line. So, that's
what I was playing for. Um you know,
when you have your back against the wall
and you don't have a lot of time to
maneuver with it, you kind of got to
pick one way or the other. And either
you're going to be right
>> Let's keep
pushing a Bitcoin. I'm almost in the
money on my Bitcoin long. I did go a
million dollars long with how much
leverage? 250X leverage. Guys, this is
too easy. Are you kidding me?
>> Oh, man.
>> Can we just Can we Can we just pan to
Gareth's Can we go to Gareth's charts
really quick? I just want to see
something really quick. I want to see
like take Keep an eye on the upper
right-hand corner. Oh, look at that
available balance.
>> Hey, I could I could 300X that and and
come from behind.
>> [laughter]
>> Yeah, I'm sure Drew would love that. So,
go ahead.
>> No, that's your that's your preference,
Lawton. You are the one that wanted
that.
>> [laughter]
>> You have an opinion in the chat,
everybody? Where do you think Bitcoin
will be a year from now? Higher, lower,
or [music] flattening to zero?
>> Oh, that's a good question. Where is
Bitcoin going to be year one year from
today?
>> today.
>> It's got to be higher is my choice.
>> That's what you're saying. Let's see, we
got 15 votes so far.
>> We're in the money
>> now, guys. In the money. Bitcoin keeps
pushing. In the money now.
I'm not taking it off till Drew takes it
off, buddy. We're holding hands.
>> Oh my gosh. Dude, Drew.
>> All right. Now, Lawton, is your entry
there liquidation? Is that how you plan
to play it out today?
>> was was my entry was slightly above
Gareth's liquidation, basically.
>> There's a really funny comment
>> please lock in. I put my house on this
episode." Me, too. Listen.
>> And it's Lawton, too.
>> Bobby, Brianna,
we're eating tonight, baby.
>> [laughter]
>> I I feel like you can go to Couch and
bet on us on there.
>> [laughter]
>> Lawton's celebrating. Yeah, I'm
celebrating on the eighth hole, except
Gareth already has is like plus 30
strokes
through the first eight.
>> Hey, hey, hey. I already got my victory
last week. At best, you're going to meet
me at one to one.
>> All right, let's All right, let's That's
>> We'll just have to reconvene next week,
maybe, and find out who really is king.
>> Camera, go to the junk cam right now. Go
junk cam right now.
>> The chat was asking for the junk cam
back. They were like, "Where's the junk
cam?"
>> Point down or something. I don't know.
It seems to listen to you.
>> Now, it see It doesn't like you.
>> I I think Lawton single-handedly takes
this from a PG or PG-13 to an R. Yeah.
>> Yeah. [laughter]
That's what they called me in high
school.
>> R.
>> Yep.
>> Short for something special.
>> Short for something
>> another trivia.
>> Call me special as well. That was the
other word.
>> [laughter]
>> Special.
Oh, we have a trivia.
>> I don't think I have the answer to the
last one. The answer was B, Monero.
>> Yeah, Gareth had it.
>> Uh
Yeah, so we got it. So our next one.
>> of crypto, not as much as you Nick, but
I know a little crypto.
>> He knows his stuff.
>> Yeah, you do. All right, what is
Satoshi's last name?
Is it Yakamoto?
>> Nakamoto, number B.
>> Nakamoto, Nagasaki.
>> Salway.
>> [laughter]
>> One of those is a food and one of those
is
>> A city.
>> It's B.
>> Okay, then tell me what the right answer
is.
>> That that tragic bombing.
>> Smith, obviously.
>> Smith, obviously.
>> [laughter]
>> It's Smithson.
>> The chat is answering correctly. It is
B.
It's Nakamoto.
>> I thought it was Smith.
>> You know, that's that was a really
tricky question.
>> [laughter]
>> All right, we're about 15 minutes in.
Lawton is still in the lead.
>> All right, Bitcoin's retracing, but it's
okay.
>> [music]
>> We don't mind.
>> Now Gareth, you had some dust left in
the exchange. How much did you have
left? Are you down like, you know,
[music] 99%, 98%?
>> I think I'm I think a 99. I think I have
133 bucks left. So, I got enough for
dinner tonight at a at a reasonably nice
food restaurant. That's about it. So,
but my kids won't be eating well
tonight. What can I say? I'm just taking
it out and I'll go and drown my tears
maybe in some alcohol.
>> [laughter]
>> Yeah, Emmanuel is saying the only reason
Gareth got liquidated because
institution are watching all his streams
trying to short him.
>> I did, by the way, I did notice that
they took it right to my liquidation
price and now it's pushing back up, and
I'd almost be break even here. So, I
kind of agree. I kind of
>> I mean, I would say that the only reason
I lost last week because of massive
voter fraud.
>> [laughter]
>> The fraud of this.
>> Hey, it is what it is.
>> That all this liquidation talk, can
someone explain for me
and anyone else that doesn't really
know, what is liquidation in this
[music] realm?
>> Who wants to take it?
>> Anybody?
>> Help me.
>> Maybe G. G, since it happened to you, G,
what is liquidation?
>> Explain it like to a kindergartner.
>> Okay, so it's where you take all your
money, money that you probably shouldn't
have all put in one asset, and then the
exchange says, "Oh, man, I see a nice
way to be able to bend them over the
table." And they do it, and they just
take all your money, and they flush it
down, and so you're so leveraged out
that they just
Yeah, I won't even say some of the words
that I want to say, but suffice it to
say, high leverage equals they will exit
they will take all your money very
quickly.
>> Yep.
>> If anyone else wants to add some color
to that, feel free to do
>> Yeah, yeah, yeah, think of it think of
it this way. He's got 10K of buying
power, right?
>> Drew knows
>> He's got a billion dollars, right?
[music]
>> So, he can only go it can only go
against him so much before that 10K
that's actually physically his is gone.
And so that liquidation level is then
triggered right there on the screen,
much like what happened with Gareth. So,
it he's not just playing with 10,000
dollars. Like, I mean, technically he
is, but the exchange is giving him that
much more leverage. If he does start
having his position go in the right
direction, you can make a boatload of
money, but it just gives you a very,
very small safety net, per se, um
if you're wrong and that trade goes
against you.
>> Hey Laton, I got to
As for Laton for saying, "Of course
knows about a liquidation.
>> There you go. And you That's 10% added
to your final earnings now.
>> about liquidation. I was talking about
bending him over, but yeah, I mean that
too.
>> Both
>> Someone in the chat wrote yeah.
I won't even repeat it, but uh
>> [laughter]
>> Yeah.
>> Chat's getting spicy, folks.
>> I'm having a great time.
>> I don't know whose fault this is. I
don't know.
>> think we should be allowed to have a
beer or a drink open while we're doing
this game. It It might It feels like
it's Friday at 5:00.
>> loser has to take a shot.
>> Or a smoke.
>> Take a smoke, too.
>> Boston butt or brisket?
>> Give me a cigar.
Cigarette. Something.
>> I love brisket. Brisket's my favorite
type of barbecue.
>> I would agree. I would agree with that.
Uh where are we at on time? Do we happen
to
>> We're at just under 12 minutes.
Lot is still in the lead.
>> Listen, I want to just point something
out. I I I appreciate that they haven't
put up my loss, but you you really to be
fair it should be up there. And so you
know, if you if you put up the gains,
you got to put up the losses. Total
transparency.
>> Well, no. No. I think it's uh my math
here 98
67 or something like that. Yeah.
I have 133 bucks left. My math I think
it was right [laughter] in my head.
>> All right, with that 100 bucks.
>> not drinking. This is just how we are
sometimes.
>> Yeah, believe it or not. [laughter]
This is just This is the office.
Yeah, we should have a show here like
The Office, but it would definitely be
R-rated.
>> Hey, I'll call the network.
>> [laughter]
>> I'll bring my chili.
>> Well, I'll call Netflix, actually. We'll
call Netflix.
>> How are you doing, Drew? Your position
should be
moving in your favor, no?
>> I'm just hanging out. Just relaxing.
Relaxing down below.
>> b-ball by the school. What was the
What was that? We got to
>> I'm almost on my take profit here on
Bitcoin yes.
>> 16
>> Latoneus, Bitcoinius
Maximus Rex
I'm about $1,500 in the money.
>> I mean the one good part is is if if we
did have more time with this XRP chart
trying to put in there we go
consolidation underneath this trend line
and break higher.
So I imagine if you come back in like an
hour
this XRP position is doing really good.
>> Hey Drew, what was your nickname in high
school?
>> What was that?
>> I was told to ask, what is your what was
your nickname in high school?
>> Double D's
>> Double D, I got had one named Poo
Wadlins.
Uh that was one of them too, but yeah
Double D, DJ Black Magic. I I had a lot.
I had you name it.
Yeah.
>> DJ Black Magic, how did you get that one
Drew?
>> What was Wadlins? What what what were
you what was yours?
>> Well, let's let's hear about DJ Black
Magic first. I just want to
get a full understanding of what I'm
dealing with here before
>> can. I don't if that's going to take an
entire show. That that was a full
lifetime worth of building up that
nickname. Holly P if you're out there
you're hearing and watching this you
know exactly what I'm talking about. So
So yeah, DJ Black Magic.
>> Man.
>> Yeah.
>> The chat's really loving Double D's
though.
>> graphics for some of these things. I'm
just saying.
>> do.
>> We're just under 10 minutes guys.
>> Next next episode can we please have one
of of Drew as DJ Black Magic come up on
the screen?
>> No, I want to see Drew as Double D's. I
want to see Drew as Double D's.
>> Double D,
Dos Equis?
>> Me that NSFW AI chatbot.
>> [laughter]
>> I
love these. I love these.
>> All right, so we're getting down to
about 10 minutes
>> vibe too. Heck yeah.
>> Yep.
>> Just under 10 minutes Wadlins is in the
lead.
>> Yep.
>> Yeah, so good we have
>> more trivia if we're feeling some more
trivia.
>> Chat, behave yourselves. Uh what do we
have for trivia?
>> Oh gosh, yeah.
>> Oh.
>> Oh boy. All right, so
our last trivia question, here we go.
What holds crypto offline?
Is it A, cold storage, B, ice box, C,
Storage Wars, or D, hot wallet?
>> A.
>> I know I know the answer, but we'll see
if who else knows.
>> [music]
>> Yeah, I would say A.
>> Chat says as well.
>> Lawton, you know this, don't you?
>> I already said A. I said A already.
>> I didn't hear you.
>> I did say A.
>> Yep.
>> Yeah, the chat's all One person said the
dark web.
>> [music]
>> One person said the president.
>> The Donald [laughter] Trump.
>> No, the answer is
A, cold storage.
>> Remember when the whole nation watched
Storage Wars?
>> [music]
>> I didn't.
>> I guess you were just the odd person out
there.
>> I love Storage Wars. No, it's actually a
really good show. I have seen it.
>> It was.
Uh can I just jump in real quick?
So, just a reminder guys that Weeks is
actually an awesome broker. I actually
have a separate account that I treat
more [music]
you know,
s- s- responsibly, I guess would be the
term. Um but you make sure you use that
because they do give you some really
good bonuses for signing up with our
link. And again, you don't have to use
200 leverage. In fact, we advise against
it, but you can you can do some good
stuff on there. It's an easy platform to
use as you see. I mean, listen, if we
can use it, anyone can use it. I think
we can agree, or we'll see if Drew and
Lawton can use it, anyone can use it if
you get my drift.
>> All right.
>> Uh so let's do the liquidation. So, so
check it out, sign up, and uh you'll get
the credit from us, and and they'll
treat you well.
>> Awesome.
>> All right. I'm ready for you to open
that 100X trade.
Yeah, yeah.
>> I'm not there yet. I will get there.
>> We should have an honorary beginner on
every episode, too. And watch, they'll
probably be the one that wins.
>> Listen, I've so far I've made 350
right now in one of my trades. But I'm
I'm doing some practice trades.
>> $150?
>> Three three $3.50.
>> Well, you beat me today.
Actually, I Anyone who didn't trade beat
me today.
>> We have a new poll up, everybody. Who
should pull the Hail Mary today?
>> I mean
>> Options are Drew Laughton and Gareth
with his liquidation.
>> There's only one choice. It has to be
Drew.
>> I voted for Drew.
>> Oh, no. Gareth's got What do you mean?
Gareth's got money.
>> It's been there.
I'm there. I'm there.
>> He's got money in the He has a bullet
left in the chamber.
>> Actually, yeah. Gareth still does have
that 100 bucks. What can you do with 100
besides
>> I'll deploy it. I mean, at this point
>> one bullet on the chamber.
>> go without dinner tonight. It's okay. I
mean, I
We got protein bars. It's all good.
>> All right. We're just about 5 minutes,
guys. 5 minutes.
>> And thank you for the support, Tab.
You're the best, Tab.
>> You're welcome.
>> All right. I'm long I'm long Solana
again. Here we go, guys. Making it all
back in the last couple minutes. I got
300 Solanas long. We only need this to
go up
$100. And that would be amazing cuz I
have actually a swing trade on it that
I'd make a lot more money if that would
happen. So, let's go. Here we go. It's
going. All right. I'm coming back.
>> Dude, I like the comment from Will. He's
like, "Who? Drew? Oh, you mean DJ Black
Magic? Yeah."
>> [laughter]
>> Will me out.
>> I love it.
All right. Come on. This This trade I'm
trying to make it fun and entertaining,
guys. But dude, we are literally just
going sideways in XRP. It really hasn't
done anything. It's right in between
99.9 cents and a buck 003. And it really
has stayed there for the last
What is this? The past 20 minutes. So,
man, it's just building consolidation.
Look, here we go again. We're trying to
get to the top of it and if we do, then
it's just up up and away to break even.
So, come on. Come on, let's go.
Man, let's go up.
I'm rooting for you. Let's see, we're
still We're at 4 minutes 30 seconds.
Come on. Come on, Solana. You got this.
>> You know, I picture Drew as DJ Black
Magic playing some Rammstein and some
Marilyn Manson. You know, maybe in a
trenchcoat mafia attire, painted nails.
>> And he had a hood on.
>> It It didn't hit that genre.
>> It didn't hit that genre. It was It was
an awful lot of
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony,
Biggie, um Goodie Mob, Outkast, you name
it. The '90s had a lot of really good
rap and hip-hop and that's what it all
was.
It was some really good times, man.
>> Vanilla Ice, MC Hammer
>> That was That was the late '80s. You
know, I was into that, too. That was
before DJ Magic came around DJ Black
Magic came around. But, yeah, probably
right into the the 1999-2000
time frame.
Yeah, all that gangster rap was I mean,
[music] you couldn't go to high school
and not hear it.
>> That's the truth. All right, that poll
just closed, but we already had the Hail
Mary. Earth went for a Hail Mary.
>> bro. Come on.
>> Make something happen here.
>> I know. I had I had the W 3 weeks ago
when we were doing dry runs, G obviously
last week, and it looks like Lawton is
taking the chair this week, at least for
now. But, how much time do we have left,
folks?
>> We have 3 minutes 10 seconds. I just
want to read this comment saying Lawton
reminds me of Jerome Powell a bit.
I just
I I just want to understand
Who do you think
Do you know who Jerome Powell is or what
he looks like?
>> Can we get a side-by-side picture of the
screen?
>> Between me and Jerome Powell, listen.
>> I think I think what he meant, Lawton,
is that you print money like the Fed and
Jerome Powell.
>> Oh.
>> Of course. Of course.
>> He's stealing Fort Knox.
>> That's a nice compliment.
>> I was just curious. I've gotten a lot of
comparisons, but never to the big JP
before.
>> Hey guys, I just took profits on my
Solana. I made 25 bucks back.
>> Amazing. This guy is just master trader
over here.
>> Now the wait staff gets a tip on the
P&L.
>> Wait, hold on. Are you out of it?
>> Yeah, yeah. I just I mean the game's
basically over here. I'm not going to
>> Two minutes.
>> Two minutes. All right.
>> I'm putting in a stop loss on Solana for
on Bitcoin for a loss. I might end up
losing some money, but it's okay.
>> All right.
>> Good news is on the XRP, we're above the
yellow trend line. Bad news is I'm still
down $947.
>> [laughter]
>> Very nice. Nice trading, guys.
>> Come on. Give me some
more time.
>> Also next week, guys, I'm we're hoping
to have a another crypto trader join us.
So, be ready for that next week. Every
Friday at 1:30, we're going to try to
have people from all over that are
well-known crypto traders come on. They
can potentially win money just like we
can win money here with Weeks. [music]
And uh should be exciting. So, um you
know, we just want to make this fun
show. It's a Friday afternoon. Maybe I
will crack a beer next week. We'll see.
>> Yeah, and if you want to tag your
favorite crypto creator down in the
comments, let us know and we'll start
reaching out to these people.
>> That's a great idea, yeah.
>> Yep.
