I think the whole XRP thing is pretty ironic,

to be honest. And it's designed for banking, like the whole point

When you hear billionaires talk about investing in industries, they talk about investing

into the market leader. If you're getting into crypto, Bitcoin is actually.

Can you give us an insight today? What are some of the top

meme coins that people should look and consider to

buy? Only ones that I hold long term. I'm Matthew Fraser and

this is Crypto Collective. After making millions with Amazon

and e-commerce, I realized that if I was starting again

today, crypto would be my first choice. I'm

here to help you take your first steps and build real

wealth. Ready to set yourself up for life? Let's go.

Today, we have Crypto Vic, a Canadian digital strategist, content

creator with over a decade of experience simplifying crypto

and highlighting 200X meme coins on

his channel. This is one you do not want to miss. Let's dive in.

Well, Crypto Vic, welcome to Crypto Collective. Really

appreciate you being here all the way from Canada. How are

Yeah, you do so much in the content space. I want to say it's just

incredible what you do. You're blowing up all over social media

and I think because of the quality of your content. But

you come from a digital marketing background before

this. So what was it like coming from that space and then transitioning into

Great question. Wow, you did your research. I feel like I'm talking to Nardwuar. Do

No, no, Nardwuar is like this music interviewer. He

interviews artists and he always pulls some random thing out

from their childhood, like some album that they listened to when they were seven. And they're like,

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, so I come

from digital marketing and I think it's given me

a big edge, to be honest. In 2017, I

started a digital marketing agency. It was kind of part of

the whole marketing agency online

business model trend. I mean, it was

more of like an Instagram agency at first, and that

was my transition away from like producing music. So before

that, I was actually producing music full time. And I learned

a lot about marketing when you're like trying to market yourself as

a music artist. You learn a lot about marketing, right? Because you're

forced to have to gather attention. Anyway,

I stopped producing music essentially to focus on

my business that became because I learned so much marketing

producing music and worked with clients for

years, worked with some really interesting clients. I

would say like the most interesting client that I had was a supercar dealership.

So they had like McLarens and Rolls Royce and Lamborghinis

and Aston Martins and we would go there

and like film content of us just like turning on the cars and like revving

their engines and stuff for social media. It was pretty cool. But

COVID came and just completely nuked my

business because it was all like local shops and

like the supercar dealership, for example, was in

the States, just over the border from me, but an

hour drive from me. And of course, with COVID, they shut

the borders down. So we lost 80% of

our retainers in the first week of COVID. Just took a

gut punch to the stomach, essentially. And

I just had signed a lease on this big office.

I had four employees, full-time employees in-house, not

overseas type thing. And yeah, we were trying to

like really scale and grow, and then COVID just nuked

us. So we pivoted to like Facebook ads, and then I learned

more about like digital stuff, got into kind of coaching programs and

stuff like that, because that's really what we could do at that time.

And then I was in a coaching program and I

Yeah. And the guy was actually he was really smart.

He was a really smart guy. And he basically really

drove home the fact that we needed to be posting personal brand

content every day. So I started posting personal brand

content, like the most random stuff that you could think of

about me. And in that whole kind of COVID isolation,

I thought it'd be fun to build an Ethereum miner because I

had some Ethereum, I had some Bitcoin and XRP very

like, you know, not too deep into the space, but just kind

of dabbling, maybe like three or $4,000 worth. And

I built this Ethereum miner and I made a TikTok out of

it. And it just blew up. It was like 300,000 views. Wow. And then I

was like, wow, OK, well, I'm going to do more of

that, because if I've learned anything, it's that if something works,

Wow, that's amazing because, so much to take out

of that, Vic, because I guess on the content side of things, of

course, I'm gonna put up all your handles so that people watching this who are

not already following you can find out what you're doing, not

just in the crypto space, but I think more so from your content creation

space, like you just, your videos are amazing, which

is clearly, I've seen some videos there, they're millions of views, like

millions of views, which is, it's just incredible. Isn't

it interesting though, just when you talk about COVID, how many people talk about that

as a pivotal moment when they went from something to something

else, they transitioned from what they were doing to something else. And I

think from another level too, Vic, it was actually an eye

opener into peeling back maybe, hey, we're in

this matrix and this is kind of not what we want to,

what we're being told is perhaps not true. And did

that have any impact then in your lead

into crypto more so? Because I know that you had big issues

with truckers having, you know, truckers and those

Yeah. Yeah, funny you say that. So the original

reason why I bought crypto was at the start of the

pandemic, when I formally bought it. I bought some in

2017 during that bull run when it was all over the news. I bought Litecoin. But

it was on QuadrigaCX, which is an exchange that went under and

it was a huge thing. There's a Netflix documentary about it, actually. And

so I lost that. But in 2020, I bought Bitcoin,

Ethereum, XRP because I went on this like psychotic deep

dive into the banking system. And I learned that like

fractional reserve banking existed and that our bank account deposits

were just IOUs and how money is printed out

of thin air and how even the insurance Like

the federal insurance companies for bank accounts like they don't have

enough capital to support the amount of bank accounts that there are so

it's like like I just like freaked out and Had

like a week of deep dive like mad scientist level type

shit. I guess where is that? Okay, like I was

like totally a mad scientist for a week and I I

came to the conclusion, I'm like, okay, well, I need to own gold, real

estate and Bitcoin. And that's just what I've focused

Yeah, wow. You touched on XRP. So

Okay. And why is it that then XRP holders

I don't know if you saw one of my videos where

I called XRP a CBDC. It's a very big video. It

I saw a different video where it had a lot of views, and it was basically saying that XRP is

Yeah, so I've made fun of XRP quite a bit. I'm

kind of trolling, like in a way. To me it's really

funny, the comments. Because in my

video I'm very serious about it, right? I'm just stating facts about XRP.

The ripple has been dumping XRP for years. It's a huge red

flag to me. And it's designed for banking. The

whole point of crypto is to get away from banking. What are we doing? So

I think the whole XRP thing is

pretty ironic, to be honest. I know I might offend people,

but that's just how I view it. It's my personal opinion. I owned

XRP. I made a lot of money on XRP. Well, in context

of back then, what a lot of money was to me then. I

made good money on XRP. I bought it at like $0.11 Canadian.

I sold it at like $2.30 Canadian or something like that. Yeah,

So before, we loved XRP. It was amazing. And then,

of course, you understood more of the, I guess, the token and the fundamentals.

yeah i didn't really like know what it was all i knew were like

youtubers were just shilling it so hard and acting like it was

going to go to a hundred dollars and i didn't know any better and i just was

like whoa and i think a lot of people fall into that trap so

i think with that video that we're kind of talking about i was really just

trying to be an anti-voice in just a sea

of Euphoric voices because at the time I dropped

that video that was when XRP had its really big pump like

four months ago or whatever whenever it was I forget what it

went to but it's went nuts in the course of a week and

everyone was like XRP and I was like,

no one would do really well right now if

I just like laid into XRP, because I have a lot of things I

could say about it. So I did. And that's

probably one of my funniest comment sections to read. I feel like a

lot of people wouldn't be able to handle that. Like people calling

I just think I just was there for the walls, bro. It was hilarious.

Yeah, I put some question marks around XRP and then of course, I

got attacked and I thought, this is interesting, just like you, I was like, I'm

just gonna put out another video about that and it is just like

a trolling the XRP army, right? They cannot resist

commenting and there's always this, they make this sort of

comparison between XRP and Bitcoin even though it's

like comparing apples to oranges. Yeah, for sure. So

tell people out there, Vic, because you've got 20 years of

experience, you've been around for a long time. Why should

people not buy XRP? And if you even

want to relate to, why should they not buy XRP and put their

Bitcoin is the market leader, right? That's how

I look at it. When you think of like, when you hear billionaires talk about

investing in industries, they talk about investing into the market leader. If

you wanna invest into an e-commerce company, who do you invest into?

You invest into Amazon. They're the market leader. They're gonna push the

needle. If you're getting into crypto, Bitcoin is actually the least

risky crypto to get into because whatever it does, everything

else follows, right? so and we've seen that actually

where bitcoin hit all-time high today and where

is ethereum it's even solana where like we're not near solana's

all-time high it's like 173 or something like that so that

that's how i think of it and with xrp it goes back to just banking

like banking fundamentally is broken

that's why banks get bailed out And

why create a system to make banks' transactions faster

when we can reinforce the system where we remove banks out

of the equation? To me, it's just a bad use of our

effort as an industry. And not only that, but XRP and

Ripple have a history of attacking Bitcoin.

They've launched marketing campaigns around Bitcoin to turn

it into proof of stake. And making Bitcoin proof-of-stake

would destroy it. It would make it not as

decentralized as it should be because if

something is proof-of-stake, it can be regulated. Like,

Ethereum is proof-of-stake now and it can be regulated

just the way that staking pools

operate within centralized exchanges. So, I

think it's very problematic to be saying that

Bitcoin should be proof of stake. You would literally destroy the most, like

Yeah, right. Because I guess the proof

of work for Bitcoin is one of the fundamental attributes of Bitcoin.

Yeah, because like I could just get an ASIC miner and set it

up in the Australian desert if I had power and

no one would even know I'm there and I could be contributing and keeping the

Bitcoin network alive, right? Like it could

just be like a handful of nodes all over the world in

the middle of nowhere and Bitcoin will be alive. There's nodes

in space on satellites. and we

could have EMPs going off and nukes going off on Earth and

the ledger would still be functioning and it would still be solid

because that's true decentralization. And

you might argue, okay, yeah, there's mining companies,

and BlackRock owns a lot of mining companies, and BlackRock owns

a million Bitcoin, and Sailor

owns whatever Bitcoin, so it's less decentralized because of

that. But it's still, at its core, the way that it functions is, if

I have a node, and I'm in the middle of nowhere, and I'm running it, like, it's

Yeah. Now, this might be controversial to you because I know you're huge

in the meme coin space. You talk a lot about meme coins. Now,

when someone comes to me and they say, Matthew, should

I put money into meme coins? I'm like, absolutely not.

Now, mainly though, I come from this on the sense of because I

don't know what I'm doing with meme coins. The average punter who's

brand new into the crypto space has no idea what they're doing with meme

coins and I always direct them into Bitcoin. But what is the argument

then, Vic, of meme coins and why perhaps should

Yeah, absolutely. So meme coins shouldn't be your whole portfolio.

I think that's very unwise. And like I said, like the

safest bit, the safest crypto to buy is Bitcoin because it's

the market mover where the least safe cryptos

to buy. If I open the trenches right

now and i buy the first new pairs that pops up on solana that's the

dumbest thing i could do in crypto right however like

there is so many people there are millions of people right now who

are wanting to get into meme coins because they've

heard other people or seen other people post these

crazy pnls of them making a lot of money which exists that does happen

okay it's hap i've made a large chunk

of money off of A two

Vic, Vic, you can tell. What is

the number? We want to know. You'll be talking to a small Australian

I don't disclose my wallets. I don't disclose how much money I have. I

just like, it's security, bro. People

ask me for my public wallet addresses. I have so many wallets, but

people ask me for that. And I just, I'm not comfortable giving that stuff away

because the right person, you give that shit to Zach XBT and he's

going to map everything out. And there's how many people like

Okay. What is probably one of the best stories you've

heard of someone making money, not yourself, but someone else making

It's just you see it sometimes in the chat. You see these P&L statements

of people bringing in like 10, 15 Solana, doing like a

10x, a 20x. In my chat alone, like

I've called literal 200x plays like in

my group chat. Yeah, just like in the last couple

months. Wow. About two months ago, we hit like

Yeah. It's insane. People are going to listen to

this, Vic, and be like, oh my god. This is now what's,

So tell us then, Vic, for the people, because I know everyone's going to be

watching this thinking, I want to get meme coins now, too. And

I'm going to jump in. What is the first thing they must consider when

Yeah, if you go in and you think you're going to make money, you're going to get literally

scammed in 15 different ways. The biggest thing that

I try to do is to educate people

to protect them against falling into pitfalls of scammers. There's

more scammers out there now than I've ever

seen ever, and they're scamming in every way. They're rug

pulling, they're sending fake trading bots that drain your wallet, they're

impersonating me on telegram and messaging people. Hey,

I'm Vic. Now they're like voice. They're actually calling them on

telegram with these fake accounts. That's a

whole thing. I've been dealing with that for years, but whatever. They're bundling,

they're sniping, they are sending

fake tokens to your wallet, and when you swap them, it drains your wallet. There's

so many ways that you can

get scammed with meme coins. So I actually have a

video, how to identify scams. I

think it's called how to identify scams with 100% accuracy. And

that to me is like my that to me is like my most important

video I've ever made. It has like 110 something thousand

Honestly, I agree, dude. And I send that that video and

my mods send that video to thousands. We've sent it to

thousands of people in our chat because that's the biggest thing

to me, man. It's like, OK, they're gonna go and they're gonna trade in

anyway because they've already been convinced that they're the ones that

are gonna hit that hundred acts player thousand

next player whatever it is I

am taking it on myself to figure out how are, how are the

way, what are the ways that you can actually be successful? But the biggest

thing is like, what are the ways that you can avoid all these pitfalls? What

are some strategies you can use that like I've used to actually make

some money in like a realistic fashion? Cause I'm not posting

like, this is how you hit 1000 X

every single day. Like, no, it's more, this is how you

can actually make like a couple hundred dollars a day. if you

if you use some of these strategies and the crazy thing is

though that It's such a fast-paced space that a lot

of the things that I've talked to in the past are like kind of outdated And

they're like two months ago like it's crazy how fast things move

and how much we're evolving as a culture in

the trenches and I Yeah,

How did you, Vic, how did you first discover meme coins? Because you said

you had, we had XRP, but

you obviously were committed to Bitcoin. You had some Ethereum, but then

what was the switch then? What made you think, ah, meme coins, that's the way to go. Did you

Yeah, that's pretty much what happened. I found Rizmus at

about 550,000 a

$550,000 market cap, and it ran, I think, to $90 million. And

then I was like, if I could do that 100 times. Yes.

And then I think the next week, I found one called Universal

Basic Compute. And I did about the same thing. I

found it at about 100k and I think it ran to like 50 million

It was pretty crazy. And so what do you do? Because I ask everybody this because just

for my own interest too, because I'm always trying to, I'm obviously navigating

the crypto space and trying to figure out how can I attain more Bitcoin? What

do I do once I have the Bitcoin? You know, should I be And

I'm currently actually selling some of my commercial properties. I've got physical

properties. I'm dumping those Bitcoin. I

have a car collection. I've started selling off cars. Just

Were you buying over the last couple of years? Or you

No, no. I'm buying. Ever since 22 is when I

got in after the last cycle, so after the peak of 21. Yeah, 22 is

the best time to start. I was buying like at about, I think

my very first trade was at about $66,000-$60,000 US,

so it was after the peak and then I just bought all the

way down, all through the bottom. didn't stop just

like buy buy buy buy buy buy buy and then

all the way sort of back up again and through that period was this

like self-discovery of one of course coming out

of covid and understanding money a bit more and everything's being

deep currency being debased and inflation everything then

it was I've been basically told a lot, all these properties I'm

holding come with huge risk. We have issues here, of

course, with land taxes and government controls and things like that.

And of course, the yields are shit. And I've got maintenance issues and

tenants and all this kind of thing, right? But the Australian dream is

actually to buy property. That's what we've been led

to believe for decades. I'm sure it's probably similar in Canada.

this peer, I tell you this interesting story. One of the things that I did in

the very beginning was I had a friend who was into crypto and I was asking him about it. And

I've had success with Amazon. Funny enough, we talked about Amazon before. I've made lots

of money with Amazon. And the thing I did though was

I went and got educated. I got educated by like what you said

with your content or your coach, your coach

coach. I went and got coached on

Amazon. Yeah, and then I had

success from that. I would have spent in

the vicinity of $30,000, $40,000 in coaching on Amazon. Was it

FBA? Yeah, FBA. What did you sell? I

ended up, well, I started off with some products that obviously turned out to be shit. And

then I moved into, I discovered a medical device, which

I then signed an exclusive contract on, because it wasn't on Amazon, and

have since done between 60 and $70 million in

sales on that in the last few years. So, hence why

I then started buying up all this commercial property. That

was where I was putting the money. Yeah, thank you. And

then it was the, okay, I need to know more about this

crypto thing. I'm going to go and get coached on it,

rather than just like throwing all my money in, right? And you know what resonated

with me, what you said before, the first thing they taught me was how

to protect the crypto. You know,

cold wallet storage, look out for scams, et cetera, et cetera. That's the first

thing they teach you. The friend of mine who didn't get

educated in the space, who just knew what he knew, right, lost

all of his money in the Celsius collapse. Brutal

had all of his life savings was in the tune of 60 grand

There were a lot of warning signs, though There were a lot of warning signs that that was gonna happen

depends if you're this is the thing that to Vic is

you've got different levels of people who are involved in crypto, like some people just

have it there and they're just off doing their day job and they come back in a month and look

at their account, right? And in comparison, you've

got people like you and me who like every spare second of the day is like, how

can I buy more Bitcoin or how can I learn about, in your case, more meme coins or

something. And so, this transition, so this

is this whole transition for me, then I moved into Um self-managed

super funds, right? So we have superannuation in australia You

You have to allocate to it You have to allocate to

that the government regulates that your pay. Okay.

Like yeah, but yeah, we have we have a pension you it's like a government

This is putting money aside so you don't have to rely on a pension That

is the essence of the superannuation scheme And

they like literally make you do it Yeah, so the employer siphons

off part of your salary At the moment, it's 12.5% and puts that into

the unions who controlled the Labor

Party in Australia, which would be the equivalent

Yeah, the liberals. You guys have the same elitist cult

We've got to play on words here, though, because the Labor Party sits on the left of

politics, which is your liberals. And we have a liberal party, which

is actually the conservative party. You

It's weird, because it feels like the Labor Party should be conservative.

Well, they used to be. They used to be a bit like the Democrats were

for the working men. And now it's switched, where the Labor Party

is more for the elites. and more control. And

so the scam of the superannuation system is

that you're mandated to put this money into a fund that

you cannot touch until you get to basically 67 years old.

So that fund is then allocated into anything

but crypto, not Bitcoin, just in your stocks, Australian

You can allocate it as to riskier and non-risky. That's

pretty much it. You can't say put it into Tesla, put it into Meta or whatever.

You can't do that. And what if you're self-employed? If you're self-employed, you

can allocate to that, so that's called an industry super fund, right, where

they basically just control it for you and you can just get on with your day. Separate

to that is what's called a self-managed super fund, where

you, as an individual, whether you're an employee or a self-employed

worker, yeah, you own your own business, you can allocate what you

want. So what you can now do, and this is what I've done, is

I've moved all of my industry fund super into

a self-managed super fund, which I take control over and I've allocated

all of that essentially future pension money

I thought you said you couldn't do that. Or

You can't do it under an industry super fund, but if you take

control under a self-managed super fund, so

I can't make this up, because you're going to just be like, what the fuck?

So what's happening right now, this is happening today, this is the discussion

all over the news, is the current federal labor government

has now wants to bring in a new unrealized capital

So they're going to force you to invest, and then they're going to take,

It's not just even a tax on profits. It's a tax on

They're trying to do the same thing in Canada, unrealized gains as

But Australia and Canada, we're at the same level of corrupt, ridiculous

bullshit. Didn't you just have an election and they shouldn't have won too?

I saw a video that

you did and you said we cannot we cannot reelect

the current Liberal yeah party we

I don't believe we did I think that there was other things that happened, but

I've decided I'm done posting about politics. It's just too It's too

I'll do this Yeah, well, this is this becomes the problem. Sorry. I'm sorry. No,

no, but you're totally right though Vic. I And I get so worked up

about this because we're literally debating this issue right now. Everyone

in Australia is trying to work as hard as they can to build up a retirement in

a superannuation account, whether it's self-managed or other, so

they're not a burden on the taxpayer by drawing a pension in the future. Then

the goalposts shift and they say, it's literally, you're

earning too much. You've got too much wealth now. We

want to now take some of that. And guess what the threshold is, Vic? It's

literally $3 million. That is now considered rich.

Okay, the average house in Sydney, Australia is two million dollars

Okay, so we're not talking we're not talking 300 million

It's insanity It's because they want to shrink the

middle class so it doesn't exist anymore. And then they want two classes

They want the elite class and then they want everyone else and they they want

to make it so that You need the government for

everything Because then they control you and they're gonna

implement digital ID. They'll implement credit

system They'll implement a CBDC and then

Yeah, that's it. Yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna throw

Well, I'm gonna throw one more spanner in it because this is gonna blow you away on

top of this because he talked about the elites, right and the

people who are exempt from the unrealized capital gains tax,

the politicians, the judges, and the bureaucrats. Yeah,

I can't make this up. That's

fucked, bro. I'm surprised there's not marches in the street with pitchforks.

They won't do it, because everyone's scared, bro. Everyone is just so

scared of them. Trudeau made an example, and the whole

I want to bring it back to Vic. This is the problem. It's

because people like me and other people even in my

community, because I help bring people from the industry super fund

into self-managed super fund to allocate to Bitcoin, the number

one asset. And now the Bitcoiners like

me feel like we're under attack. from our government trying to

steal our Bitcoin. Let's get back to, let's get

back to, you said before, which I love, I'm just gonna get as rich

as fuck and make so much money that I don't have to worry about all this political shit.

Tell us, what is your strategy? How can

That's what you're doing. Content. Content,

100%. Okay, so, do you know

Okay, he's my GOAT. I'm just gonna say that. Alex

Ramosi's my goat. There's no other goat above Alex Ramosi. Maybe

Cristiano Ronaldo, but Alex Ramosi's my goat, okay? And

he says that there's six different types of leverage. And

leverage is the most important thing. Because if we had this conversation one-on-one,

only we would value from it. But you have leverage of this being media.

So now, I don't know how many people will see it, but we've multiplied it by that many

people. That many people can get value from this conversation, right? Leverage

is the most important thing in business. It's the most important thing really in

the world, right? How many outputs

you can get for every input that you put in. So if

I have one conversation with someone like this, and

I make a really good point, only they learn. But

if I make a video of it and I post it on the internet, maybe

millions of people will see it, maybe millions of people will learn. That

is the best form of leverage. The greatest forms of leverage from the

Hormozi says is media and software. So

media, like I just described, software

does a very similar thing. I can make software once and

like Facebook, billions of people use that. They

make Facebook once. They don't make it billions of times and it

scales to a billion people and their infrastructure can support it.

So the difference though is that software has a

very high barrier to entry. It's very expensive to create it. It's

very technical to create it. You gotta be an expert. You gotta know what you're doing. You have to have

a really good idea. You have to pay for cloud space. You have to pay

for staff, all that stuff. With

media I could literally make TikToks on my phone

that I already have and TikTok is free and

just like thousands if not millions of

other creators online develop a following and monetize

it and the only thing that I

need to do is take action on the media. So therefore, creating

content, creating media content is the highest

leverage thing that you could do from a leverage standpoint.

Now, when you think about where

the money comes from, from media, you

need to isolate it. The money comes from, in

media, primarily from advertising. The advertising

industry runs the world. People don't realize that banking

and advertising run our existence. They

say that you see like 10,000 ads a day or something like that. If

you go to Times Square, why is Times Square so famous? Because there's ads all

over. What, how does Facebook make

money? How does your favorite sports team make money? How do

magazines operate, radio stations, television stations? It's

all advertising. Without advertising, they would not make money because

business owners need to get in front of consumers or other businesses,

depending if you're B2C or B2B. You couldn't operate your

Amazon business without the eyes that Amazon brings to you. And

then if you had to do it on your own through Shopify,

you would have to buy Facebook ads. In

advertising, there's a very, very important metric called CPM, cost

per 1,000 views, cost per mille. Mille,

I think, is Latin for 1,000. Depending

on the industry that you're in, the thousand views

that you buy varies drastically. So if

I were to purchase ads for kids

toys, the ad costs would

be very low because the kids are not the decision

makers. So if I'm targeting ads towards kids, which is very hard

to do, by the way, like you have lots of regulations around

this example, but let's just say there isn't. I

could pay $1, $2 per thousand views

for my ad with that CPM for that

audience. However, what is

the most lucrative CPM? And

that's someone who has spending power and is

going to purchase something that has an insanely high

ROI and do it over and over and over again. Traders,

right? Crypto. I would say crypto

probably has the highest CPM out of any other industry. I

don't know exactly, but I can't think of a higher one. Because

some of the deals that I see are crazy. Some of the deals

Tell me, what sort of deals? Tell me. Give me some numbers. I

can't give you numbers. What are the crazy numbers? Don't give me

brands, but what are some of the crazy deals you've seen to

I charge tens of thousands of dollars if you want my

Yeah. And you should be doing this too, bro. Like

Well, I do have sponsors reaching out all the time because

I mean, you just hit the nail on the head. There's obviously there's a big appetite within

the crypto space to get in front of eyeballs through creators like yourself

Now there is a very strong nuance that I need to

focus on quickly before someone takes this the wrong way, is

that you have to disclaim your partnership. Which I

think is a massive issue with a lot of influencers in

crypto, is that they don't disclaim, they don't tell, I

have a material obligation here to

create this content because I made a deal with a brand or a

project. Any project or brand that I work with, I'm

telling my audience, I'm in front, this is a partnered video. I did one

yesterday actually. There's a project that I did a video

for and it's a trading platform and

also they're making their own blockchain and they have

their own token. So it's called Zignali. So

I did a video for them. I charged what I charge, posted

on my stuff. In the video, bro, I literally have

a legal paragraph that I put on the screen

that says, disclaimer, Signalee is a partner of this video. They paid me to make this

video. In my teller, I might say, this is a partner video. That's how

you have to do it. If you don't do that, you're shady, bro. Like,

what are you doing? Like, that's just, and it's also illegal, by

the way, if you're an influencer to do a brand

Yeah, we always say partnerships, which

obviously makes it very clear. But also, I think

the shady part more so is, I'm going to

relate it back to XRP again. You've got a lot of people who I understand get

I don't know. I've never talked to

anyone that could confirm that. I mean, probably. I've

heard of other big projects. I know of other big projects for a fact. I

did a campaign with Polkadot. I obviously told

everyone in the video that they're the partner of that video, but I did a campaign with

Like I said, advertising runs the world. And crypto

projects, crypto brands, if you promote something and it's a

complete like scam, then you're an idiot and you didn't do your

due diligence and you led your followers down the wrong path. And you

should reevaluate the way that you take on deals.

So let me let me bring this back then. So there's the strategy for

yourself then, let's say, to become extremely

rich. I can't remember the term you use. Really fucking

rich. Rich is fine. Thank you. Yeah. Is

basically monetize the channel, make money through

meme coins. And does that mean the next step is you rotate that

Hmm, I like real estate a lot. I own two properties. I know that you're kind

of getting out of it. But the way that I see it, the

price of real estate will only continue to go up because the

dollar is so trash that the value of the dollar will only

continue to go down. And real estate is valued

in terms of how many dollars there are. So

like a house that you bought for $300,000 10 years ago, it went to a million dollars, not because the house

got three times bigger, but because the dollar got three times

shittier because of COVID, right? Because of money

printing, because of the 2008 crisis

or whatever, there's lots of reasons. They do quantitative easing. They

So Vicky, you're thinking about, okay, you've allocated into, let's

say property, you're stacking more Bitcoin, I'm guessing, than

with some of the profits that you're making from Bitcoin, Solana, ETH,

Okay. And so what then happened, because this has happened to a friend of mine, he's

extremely Well off, doing very

well, holds a lot of Bitcoin, sold all of his commercial

properties including his house and he said, you know what, I'm not

doing this anymore and shipped off to Cyprus. Mainly

because of the way he was being treated in Australia with the government trying

to come down on him at every turn, trying to take their peace.

He also just likes the idea of being in a central

part of, around Europe where he's accessible to

UK, France, Germany, et cetera. And

the tax regime in Cyprus is

quite low. My understanding is it's 12 and a half percent on company

earnings, zero tax on dividends, zero

capital gains tax. And you only have to live in

Cyprus for two months of the year to be a tax resident. Oh,

damn. Yeah. So I'm going to say when

you're thinking about, you know, also being free, does that come into play? Like

if you buy property, it's like, oh, actually, now I want to leave the

country. I can't just pack up my Bitcoin and go.

I don't have the intention on ever selling any of my properties. I'm

just going to keep loading them up. That's really my goal. I'm

just going to keep buying them. The way I look at

it with real estate, I get what you're saying about real estate. There's a lot of baggage that

comes with it. The way I look at it, though, is that the

most amount of millionaires in the United States became

millionaires from real estate by a long shot. And

I assume most of those people are not super intelligent. They're

just kind of normal people who follow the system of

get a house, increase the equity, go

back to the bank. get a line of credit, buy

a second house, increase the equity, repeat, burr,

repeat. And that's what I'm doing. And I'm

learning a lot too. Like I'm learning a lot about how

the banking stuff works, but also like how to actually fix things

and build things and renovate on my own without having

Oh, you're crypto, not just crypto Vic,

And this

is guys is how you this is how you hammer a nail oh my gosh today

I did a photo shoot for my from for YouTube thumbnails today and

I got one photo back from the guy and I like

it's just a very like I have this like very like boyish like look on my

face and I love it I thought it was a great photo And I posted it on

X and I wrote boyband Vic and

then like seven meme coins came out that were boyband Vic

and one of them ran up to $50,000 market cap. I thought it

was the funniest shit. That's like one of my dreams, bro.

I'll tell you, you know you're in the big time when anything you tweet becomes a meme coin.

Not yet, but that was like the first time and I was like, I was so happy. I

didn't, I don't, I just let everyone know I had nothing to do with that. I didn't even know.

One of my mods sent it in the chat and was like, look at this. And I was like, oh

That's brilliant. That's brilliant. And well, that being said, then I guess the next question

is, is CryptoVik going to be releasing his own meme

Um, I did do a believe coin. So do

you know about believe? So there's a thing called launch

coin on believe. Basically, you can tweet at

launch coin and then just the name and it will create a meme coin just

from your tweet and The day it came

out it came out like last week the day it came out like I literally could

not resist myself like I tried to resist myself to not

do it because I don't want to launch any meme coins like I don't

want to launch I I do actually want to but I

Yeah. The calls that launch coins all the time,

they have a really bad reputation because if they rug

or if they don't do well, there's lots of PVP and it just goes

So I've said for a long time, I'm not going

to launch anything. At one

point, I was getting asked multiple times a day. I've

decided no, but I did a launch coin on believe and

That was a day it came out and these coins were going nuts Like everything

everything that was getting minted was running up to like 1 2 million dollars and under

a minute. It was nutty yeah, and

I so I did one and The

technology was very new Do you know like

the bonding curve moving to migration and how pump

fund tokens work? So with pump fund tokens, there's something called

the bonding curve, which is the first kind of stage of a meme coin. It's

usually from, depending on the price of Solana, from $4,000 market

cap all the way to like $70,000 market cap. Once it reaches $70,000 market

cap or whatever the bond price is, all the liquidity in

that bonding curve gets bundled up and moved over

to pump swap now it used to be radium but pump swap and

that's an actual liquidity pool so it gets it turns into like a

real coin and he gets a ton of attention so launch

a coin on believe does the same thing it has a bonding curve but the bonding curve

is kind of shaped differently so it kind of it can get fat like get more

traction faster it starts at $24,000 market cap instead of $4,000 market

cap but it runs up to the same $70,000 level And

so I make it, and I tweet it, I make it, I go

over to LaunchCoin to try and buy it, and

it was already bonding. Like in under 5 seconds, snipers

put over $100,000 worth of liquidity into it. They

sniped up $100,000 worth of it. And

I was like, what just happened? I kind

of made it known I was going to launch it, but I did not think that

was going to happen. $100,000 liquidity in the first five seconds is stupid.

And the tech was really new.

Usually bonding, that migration process takes a few

So I was telling everyone, I'm like, do not buy this. The moment this

thing bonds, those snipers are going to dump it. It's going to go to zero. Don't buy it. And

Let me ask this then. You said, do not buy this. But can you give

us an insight today? What are some of the top meme coins

that people should look and consider to

Yeah. I think one of the only ones that I hold long term is Fartcoin

because, It

has utility bro, the utility is people are just like shut

up. Yeah, like when it's on the

news and People like fart coin just hit

two billion dollars of market cap

It's a flywheel, dude, it's a flywheel of like what

the fuck you know, I mean that's That's

There you go guys, you've heard it first from Crypto Vic, the man, the

meme coin guy who is all over this stuff. He

Yeah, but don't buy it. Just like, you know, be safe with your money.

Go buy bonds. Don't buy meme coins, bro.

Just go buy Bitcoin and bonds. and a

Yeah, that's awesome. Vic, I've got to wrap up this call. You've been

absolutely incredible. Tell me, for people who

do want to find out more about meme coins, perhaps you

Yeah, so go check me out on YouTube, Crypto Vic. In

my YouTube videos, my biggest YouTube videos about meme coins, you'll have

a call to action for my Telegram group. Definitely join the

group and the community. There's a group chat in there. Currently, we're at

around 9,000 people in the chat. Huge chat. 24-7

people are trading, asking questions, new beginners, people that

are very experienced. We have whales in there.

We have developers who launch tokens in there, too I don't really let

them launch in there anymore, but they have And yeah It's

just we're just trying to do something positive man and put god at the at the

center of everything here because I think that This this industry can

get so evil bro. And like you really gotta uh,

you gotta look at what it is It's a fast track to get somewhere if

you do it, right and if you're in it now even if you lose money this cycle just

stay here, bro, like don't leave don't

go and forget about it keep learning keep getting your

hands dirty stay in the big tokens that Solana Bitcoin

and and the future you will literally thank

you because the the future is going to be crazy and

it's gonna need crypto in order to survive as we talked about with Australia and

Canada Bitcoin is is going to be just

a pathway to freedom for a lot of people like privacy

tokens like Monero are definitely worth looking into as well when you're dealing

with elite governments like this. Definitely

good things to look into. So yeah, that's what I have to say. My finishing thoughts here.

Awesome. Thank you so much, Crypto Vic. I think on those final words is we
