Ivan On Tech Donates $10K Live + Reveals His Whole Trading Stack | 20 Hours to $200K
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
The video features Ivan On Tech joining a live stream to discuss two major topics: his recent weight loss journey and the launch of his new trading platform, Bullmania. A significant portion of the conversation revolves around Ivan's decision to donate $10,000 to Amigos Del Rio, an animal shelter in Puerto Rico that he supports under the Act 60 tax law. The charity is currently facing a crisis as its founder is retiring due to age, and they urgently need new land and funding to build kennels, install solar power, and support the six full-time employees who rely on the facility for their livelihoods. Ivan explains that while he receives many small donations via crypto, this specific large contribution helps secure the necessary infrastructure to save the shelter from closing.
In addition to the charity work, Ivan shares his personal transformation over the last five months, having lost approximately 17 kilograms to reach a healthier body fat percentage. He attributes his success to a strict carnivore diet focused on a single ingredient per meal, such as only lamb or chicken, combined with progressive overload in the gym. Crucially, he highlights how he utilized AI tools to track his caloric intake and metabolic rate, overcoming previous barriers like app fatigue and the difficulty of measuring complex meals. He emphasizes that while weight loss is simple in concept—maintaining a calorie deficit below one's basal metabolic rate—it requires discipline and precise tracking, which his new AI-driven system provides effortlessly.
The core technical discussion centers on Bullmania, an infrastructure designed to help traders navigate bull and bear markets using mechanical rules rather than emotional decisions. The platform automatically identifies assets that have flipped into bullish or bearish trends across stocks, crypto, and precious metals, allowing users to react quickly to market shifts. Ivan demonstrates how the integrated AI feature can instantly generate comprehensive reports on any asset, summarizing recent news, sentiment from social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), and community discussions to filter out pump-and-dump schemes. This system aims to solve the problem of information overload by providing traders with real-time data on what is driving momentum, ensuring they only enter positions in assets with genuine conviction and clear rules for entry, exit, and stop-loss placement.
The video concludes with a strong emphasis on the synergy between education, entertainment, and practical application, illustrated by Ivan's "AI slop" videos that use humor to teach risk management concepts. The host notes that these entertaining skits effectively convey serious lessons about market cycles and discipline, which now directly support his charitable efforts through donations. Viewers are encouraged to subscribe to the Bullmania newsletter to access the platform as new spots become available and to utilize the AI tools for their own trading strategies. Ultimately, the stream reinforces the message that success in trading, much like fitness, comes from adhering to simple but difficult rules, a philosophy that Ivan's new system is built to enforce automatically.

Check. Check. All right, everybody.
Well, that's a good good lesson for me.
Don't Don't put a high mic and start
cussing like crazy. [laughter]
>> Exactly.
No, it felt like we should be live. So
So we didn't say anything too crazy,
right? [laughter]
>> Nah, not too crazy. Like, hey, hey,
Ivan, come on here so we can dump on
everybody. [laughter]
>> Oh, yeah. Good. Good being here again.
It's now like fourth time or something
like that.
>> Yeah. Like uh Well, first of all, what's
it what time is it over there where
you're at?
Let's see. It's 1 Currently. It's 1 PM
10:05.
>> And you you're super early.
>> Yeah, super early. Then so we're we're
two hours into the 20our stream. And
this is
>> How you going to do 20 hours? How are
you How are you going to do it?
>> I'm going to do it with a bunch of
coffee and then fasting and then uh I'm
going to let uh my excellent guests take
control and give people a bunch of
alpha. That's it.
>> Got it. Got it. Got it. Got it. Yeah. Uh
fantastic. fantastic to be here. We can
discuss the market. We can discuss
anything. Yeah.
>> So, so here's the thing. So, the
question was, is everybody heard? Uh,
and you said like, hey, what's the
what's the whole deal with this shelter?
So, the shelter itself is when you're in
Puerto Rico, we have this great thing
called Act 60. You know, there's other
different laws around the world as far
as capital gains. It it reduces your
capital gains to zero. It's also
corporate tax is down to 4% and the
their homestead property goes to 1957
levels so it doesn't keep going up and
up and up. So that's why I picked Puerto
Rico for that part. Then of course
weather's great, people are great,
food's great, so on and so forth. But
when I came here, you have to donate
$10,000 to charitable causes. The one
that I picked, one of the ones was uh
amigos and it's a good it was it's been
around for three decades and it was by
Audrey and Audrey gave up her house
three like 30 years ago to run this
animal shelter and it's a great place.
Unfortunately, as time goes on, she's
like, "Hey, I'm in my she's of advanced
age. I can't do this anymore. I I I I
need you guys to to find another place."
So, we did that. We found a place. And
what we're doing is here's the new land.
It's going to cost us and I and I broke
this down. This is in Louisa in Puerto
Rico. We're close to the beach. Not as
much as we'd like to, but it is what it
is. We need to clear away the land. We
need to buy a bunch of these containers
because that'll be the dog runs. We need
to fabricate them. We need to install
water lines, solar panels, generators.
We need to get in the actual kennels,
the food, and then also the bigger the
bigger thing is that this is that it's
not just we lose the shelter, it's we
lose people's jobs and livelihood
because we have six people that work
full-time. So, it's important to me and
uh
yeah, I'm glad you're here. So, that's
that's it in a nutshell.
>> Fantastic. Fantastic. Yeah, it's it's
amazing. How many dogs you have? Like 20
30? I saw just saw on the website like a
few dozen dogs. It's No, no, it's it's
it's it's actually it fluctuates.
Usually it's around 40 to 50. We've had
up to 70 and because people know where
it is and they just dump dogs. So like
just this week we [clears throat] got it
was a mother dog and six of her puppies
which we told them like we don't have
any space and they just dumped them. So
what are we going to do? You know, you
got to take them in. And uh that's where
we're at right now. So like I was
telling everybody if you we don't need
massive donations. We get around 10 to
20k, you know, views every video. If
people just donate again there's a
there's a link which takes them to the
website
where they can donate crypto if you give
20 40 bucks. Hey
>> but this donation it goes to this uh
amigos Dell to to this charity. So
basically if uh uh someone needs like
tax deductible receipt it's like a
proper charity right?
>> Yeah. Yeah. So, for something like that,
it's going to be difficult with with the
cryptos the crypto space. So, you'd have
to like run this through and just say
like for when I do donations, I tag
those in my I have a I use cryptotax
trader and I just tag it and said like,
"Hey, this $1,000 went to this this went
to this 5,000 went to that."
>> And that's pretty much it. If people
need like like like receipts and such
and they reach out to me, I can get you
I can get you some.
>> Yeah. Yeah, I mean these things normally
are tax deductible. So it's uh very very
nice. And how are you guys um
progressing this far? So you you got the
land, you you just need the financing.
Everything is ready to just get get the
funds and uh build it.
>> Yeah. So we have we have funds in there.
We have backups, but we don't have
enough for the land totally and then we
don't have enough for the upgrades. So,
we have to buy the land by September 7th
and then we have another five months or
so to transfer everything. But but
basically what's going to come down and
do is this is it's going to be me, Russ,
and Russ who's the treasurer, the people
that actually work there, and we're
going to get a a construction crew, and
we're going to do all the fabrication,
moving things in, transferring, water
lines, generator, all that stuff. So,
that just keeps me busy.
>> Good, good, good, good.
>> Yeah.
>> Awesome, Rob.
>> So, that's what we got for for that
piece. I'm I'm glad you asked the
question. Let's get to Ivan and what is
he doing? And first of all, Ivan, what
is what are these fantastic videos
[laughter] that keep you?
Yeah, it's a AI slop uh Hollywood. No,
it's fun. I mean, our our community,
they they love doing this AI slops and
uh yeah, some of them have a message
about risk management, like this one,
for example. Some are just fun. I mean
with it with this Bit Boys there's no
even like any complex message just Bit
Boy releasing Bit Boy out of prison to
restart the super cycle. This one with
SBF [laughter] this is also just for fun
Bitcoin the phantom menace you know like
in Star Wars Phantom Menace because SBF
is sneaky sneaky hiding there. So these
ones are just for fun. But then some of
them like for example that one where I'm
a freaking knight there is a bit of uh
message with risk management bulbania
mechanical rules and so on so forth. So
yeah I mean we're just having fun but
this AI stuff there is something uh
there is something there because you can
have fun and education and you can um
explain to uh people what you do. I mean
for us for example to explain risk
management bull mania why it's important
it's so nice to do via this skits like
for example this one where where I'm a
knight you know it's if you guys watch
with the sound later on so yeah it's
I underestimated before
this game taught us guys when the offer
sounds magical you are the loot here one
spell creates more gold bitcoin 21
million no spell can create another
entering the market without rules that
is crossing into PV completely
unprepared markets are PvP. Bull mania
clear strategies, clear rules, protect
your staff.
>> Yeah, I mean sometimes AI is it should
say PVP PVP but it's AI. But it's the
nature of AI slop. That's also what I
love about this format. We call it AI
slop. So meaning don't expect perfect.
Don't it's fun anyway even if it's not
perfect. [laughter]
So yeah, we've been having a bit of fun.
But you know before when I saw Sailor,
I'm like man, what is this? What is he
doing? I underestimated the power of
these a slops
>> because they are I mean they are fun.
They're engaging. You can have them in
like five minutes. It's uh fantastic.
Now this better ones with like big boy
SBF. I know that the guy uh small peep
who is making them his name is small
peep there. Small pee. He spends a lot
of money.
>> Small pee pe. [laughter]
Small pee pe. That's good.
This is you know what I never because
when I when I was looking through them I
never thought to myself about oh this is
just a a training mechanism which you're
using to get the point across about risk
management.
>> No it's a yeah like I I you know what
I'm going to use this moving forward as
far as like for like donations uh into
the shelter. That's great. I I never
What a what a genius move Ivan.
>> Yeah I mean that's kind of what I
understood also that uh it's fun. is
easy to make and people like them and we
can you can communicate a message and
that's what Sailor has been doing all
along. It's just that we were too dumb
to get it. We thought it's just you know
for fun but it is for fun but it's also
a message.
>> Yeah. And I got to tell you uh there's
another thing that I I got to as far as
like a message goes take a look at this.
Who's this? There's a pleasantly plump
gentleman on the left and a thin guy on
the right. Look at this. So [laughter]
what?
>> Exactly. Exactly. It's my weight loss.
Yeah. So, so, so two things. First of
all, I see you got a beautiful goldie
there. So, you are a animal person. How
long you had that one?
>> Yes. So, we have two. This the bigger
one that is in the picture, his name is
Dimma. And we've had him now for six
years soon. And then Charlie, it's a
it's a smaller one, white one,
>> also golden retriever. We've had him for
five years. So, they're six and five
now.
>> Ah, that's a great You know what? And we
were talking about this and and people
say, "Why do you like why do you like
dogs, Rob?" I like dogs because they've
never rugpulled me. They've never gone
back on on a business deal. And you know
what? They're always excited to see me
as as opposed to, you know, some people
on on X in my comment [laughter]
section.
>> Exactly. People on X are the best. They
tell me, Ivan, it's just water weight.
You're going to get it right. But
[laughter] another guy tells me, Ivan,
it's OMI. You stop with OMIC. [laughter]
You're going to come back. Then he tell
me, Ivan, it's a fake private jet. It's
AI. [laughter]
No, it's 1% is 99% positivity. But that
1% it never goes away. [laughter]
>> Hey, before we know speaking of like
like risk and risk levels and and before
we get to into bull mania, tell us about
like first of all the time difference
between those bit those pictures and
what you did to lose weight.
>> Yeah. So, uh the time difference here on
the left it's March and on the right
it's uh this weekend. So, it's uh how
many months? Uh it's September now minus
March. Yeah, like five months or
something. Uh
>> and uh I mean the as you know weight
loss there's nothing complex but it's
not easy. You just it's simple but it's
not it's easy. How do I say it's simple
but it's not easy. Exactly.
>> Right.
>> So there are two big components. One is
of course calorie deficit and for the
first time ever I started to use AI to
track it because before I didn't I never
tracked it because you know you have to
download app it's small button I have to
click in everything it's it's too much
work so I never got into tracking
everything that goes into the mouth it
needs to be registered it needs to be
registered
>> h and before I could I was never like I
never got into doing because you know
app it's I have app subscription
Now claude just uh uh take a picture and
also now I have kitchen uh scales
everywhere so I can actually measure
because for me I'm I'm very mathematical
person so if I cannot measure it I
become like uninterested because I know
that it's not exact and then you know
it's not exact and I lose motivation
because I don't do it properly but now
in all kitchens like across all the
places I am there is a kitchen scale
>> so everything I eat I also try to wait
of course I'm not Sometimes when I eat
out, I just take a picture. It's okay
also. It's fine. But I try to weigh as
much as possible. Eat only uh one
ingredient. Like for example, only lamb.
Dinner only lamb and only one. I eat
only one time per day. Let's say only
lamb. Very good. Next only only chicken.
So it's simple. It's simple. It's not
like you know a another thing when you
eat food is many ingredients. How you
going to track that? It's impossible.
>> But I keep it simple. Carnivore that's
it. Track it should be caloric deficit.
And then uh that's the first step. And
then second step is um gym that you push
progressive overload push higher weights
all the time so you don't lose muscle.
So and then I use AI for all of that. I
have AI connects to notion. It tracks
everything there. I mean I have like a
whole system end to end how how this
works. I have like everything I've done
each and every day it's in the it's in
the notion database. So, uh, yeah, it's
been a I finally found something that
works for me because, uh, you know,
everyone has to find something that
works for me. This has worked very
nicely for me.
>> That's, you know what, that's the key
right there because I was talking to a
couple friends. They're just been big
their whole life and they're like,
"Well, Rob, what do you do to to stay in
shape?" I'm like, "Well, it's I've been
like this since I was like, you know,
12. I mean, I've looked I mean, I've
actually grown a little bit, but like my
metabolism is different and I work for
something different. You have to find
out what it else it is." the basics like
we talk about a calorie deficit. So your
calorie deficit you're looking at like
1500 minus or you looking at like even
less than that or 2,000?
>> No. So I calculated based on my weight
and uh like estimated body fat from the
beginning I estimated that my base
metabolic rate just what I uh burn
without moving is around 2.2. So I
started uh uh just uh uh being below
that because if I'm at or below my base
metabolic rate I'm in a good enough
deficit because then if I move then
everything is uh deficit that is above
that. So I just kept to that. Now I
decreased it to two because also I lost
like uh 15 kilo 17 kilos since I
started. Yeah that picture. So I now
moved it to two. So uh I just yeah I
keep it very simple. uh I I try to
figure out what my like base uh
metabolic rate was what the the body
burns just uh not doing anything and I
try not to go above that because then
everything everything I move is deficit.
Yeah.
>> Well, I got to tell you I think there's
a there's a post on X coming out. I
would assume that Ivan would actually do
that and uh to let people know how he
can people can lose a little bit of
weight. Sounds pretty good. I don't know
if you want to do that Ivan. That sounds
like something that I think everybody
could be interested in
>> just for a little little quick thing
even like using AI like, "Hey, stop
being so big. Do this."
>> Yeah. Yeah. And you know, I I just got
into this uh uh go I I got so motivated
to just get down to 15% body fat. Uh to
you know, you can fix it depending on
how big you are obviously, but most
people who are let's say 30% body fat uh
35 I mean many are 35. Maybe in the US
it's even like being fit is 30 35
[laughter]
is high like 30 is high. But if you
spend like half a year, eight months,
you you can get down to having a
six-pack literally and then you know
it's physique-wise very few people have
it like above 35 30 very few people. So
it's quite an easy thing in comparison
to other things I've done in in life to
do. You know it's it's easier to lose
weight than to uh than to you know
trade. It's easier like weight is so
easy man. You just need to freaking stop
putting stuff in your mouth and very
quickly body gets used. You just need to
also track the the freaking calories
because you you don't understand how
much some small thing can be. It can be
very much. So that's why with AI it's
easier than ever to track it just you
know take picture ideally get a kitchen
scale. So you understand how much there
is in in some things and and some other
things it's uh not a lot. Uh chicken I
mean for me chicken has been very good.
Lamb has been very good. Anyway, it's
like a whole system. We don't have to
spend too much time here, but it's
>> But it's important.
>> It's important. It's it's it's easier to
uh stay in shape than get in shape. And
that's pretty much been universally
true. So, that would be a nice segue
because you talked about the rules and
the different things that you do as far
as like putting things in to make sure
that you're on track. And it's the same
thing with Bull Mania. I got to tell you
when when I signed up or you know got
access to to Bulmania I was I was seeing
like there's a lot of rules here to do
but it becomes easier over time just
like working out just like taking
pictures of your of your of your food.
So Ivan walk us through this real quick
because as far as like bull man and we
were just talking about this before you
came on. I was taking a look at AI
infrastructure plays and stocks and we
took a look at the weekly to see which
ones are doing well and I talked about
Caterpillar how it's it's a it's a great
company but kind of going as far as
bearish but tell us give us like an
overview of how this all works and
unfortunately I hate to we've only got
like uh 10 minutes and then I got Rob uh
coming on after you.
>> Yeah. Okay. So I mean we can I can know
I can speak for hours. We have like a
full eight hour course about all of
this. [laughter] But uh if you guys are
curious, go to bullmania.com/subscribe
and join the newsletter. So each and
every week I will keeping you up to date
with what's happening.
bulmania.com/subscribe.
[gasps] Uh and uh all in all we in
Bulmania we work with trends. So when
something is in a bull trend, confirmed
bull trend, we're bullish. When
something is in a confirmed bare trend,
we're bearish. And this is a simple
idea. It's like you know losing weight.
It's simple but for people it's not
easy. Bitcoin went bare in October last
year. It was time to be bare. People
still were bull. They lost everything.
Suie the same. All the coins. It's
easy man. It was bare. No, you got to
hold super cycle bananas or what
[laughter] people say. So it's a kind of
similar there. So it's a simple idea but
to to get used to it you need practice
obviously. Then in Bulman of course we
teach you okay let's say something flips
bullish. How do you enter? How do you
set a stop loss? How do you exit? Let's
say 50 things flip bullish at the same
time. How you select the correct assets
to go into and what you showed on the
screen just before it was the money
scanner and money scanner shows you all
assets in the world. We have all the
stock markets. We have everything
everything all the ETFs and uh you can
see in real time what flips bullish or
bearish in real time. So you can react
fast. So Caterpillar here for example
it's now bearish. Uh it's weekly time
frame you look at or which time frame?
But it's bearish since weekly.
>> Yeah,
>> weekly daily.
>> So here is bearish also a month ago on
the daily. Yeah. Uh and it's down what
is it like 10%. So you can see here in
real time stocks, crypto precious metals
was flipping bullish was flipping
bearish and recently we also added bull
mania AI so that let's say something
flips bullish and you don't know what it
is. Uh then you have that AI button on
the right in each uh on each row you
have. Have you tried this one? Exactly.
So don't don't click Bitcoin, okay? Go
to some stock so it's interesting for
our audience. Go to some other like
random ass stock and and you can click
it uh so we can uh demonstrate how it
works. Uh just go back to stocks.
Everyone knows Bitcoin. But the use case
here, what I what I want to demonstrate
is let's say uh let's say something goes
bull here. Let's say you don't if you
scroll down, let's let's say pick some
stock that uh let's say Broadcom.
>> You want to go weekly or daily?
>> Go to weekly. Go to weekly. Uhhuh.
>> And uh go to something that recently
flipped uh and let's say SpaceX. Okay,
let's say SpaceX. Go to SpaceX
uh is below there is the yellow one. And
then you can you if you click the AI
button on the right on the right it's
going to open up Bulmania AI and it's
going to ask Bulman AI you know what's
the latest on um uh on SpaceX? What are
people saying on X? And it's a good nice
way to connect what recently happened in
the chart with what people are saying
about it online because you can see what
has real momentum, where is real
community. This way you can you can
ensure that you're only in bullish
assets, but then you also know what they
are. You have conviction, you know,
there's not a pump and dump. Sometimes
it happens that things feel bullish and
it's like a pump and dump. You know,
some shitcoin people come together to
pump. Uh so you want to avoid that. But
with Bulmania AI, you now can see it. So
now your Bitcoin one has finished. If
you go to the left there, uh this one is
still uh uh doing the the response.
>> Uh yeah. So here, yeah, you see well if
you scroll up,
>> so you see here the whole report on
SpaceX is fully connected to Twitter. So
you see all everyone who is speaking
about it. So now you know SpaceX, but
imagine you know some random company
just leave bullish. You don't know
anything about them. You click AI button
and now you get full report on it. Um,
and you and also you see everyone who's
speaking about you see all of these
influencers. So you can follow them.
Let's say you you found a new coin and
you want to get up to speed with the
community who is speaking. You bubble up
follow very quickly see what they're
saying. And uh if you want to share
this, let's say you do you research a
coin Eurob and you want to share it with
your Discord or your community, you can
scroll down, scroll all the way down.
You see there's a publish button on the
bottom here. If you click publish, it
creates this. This is now a public link.
It's a sharable link. So this one you
can share. You can uh and also Rob when
you do a show, let's say you you do a
stream. You can um uh just ask Bulman AI
what what what's the latest uh you know
24 hours what has happened to Bitcoin
stocks AI, you know, just just ask it.
It's going to give you a very nice
report kind of like this and uh you have
all the tweets, you have the content
done for you. It's fantastic.
>> You know what? This is this is a good
segue. I'm gonna talk to Wes about this
on Smart Money Tracking. He talks about
you. He's a swing trader and he talks
about how he has to be kept up to date
with what's going on because he's like,
you know, the TA is great, but if Trump
sends out a trims out something on True
Social, it kind of goes to pot. Or if
something big in the macroverse has some
issues, he goes, it just kind of goes
down down the tubes. He's like, I am
constantly taking a look at the news,
constantly seeing what's going on,
constantly following macro trends. And
this, I think, is pretty good if he can
just make it easier, faster, and smarter
for us. Ivan, that's a great one.
>> Yeah. I mean, tell him to just test, you
know, what's the latest, I don't know,
like swing trades in crypto that people
are speaking about. You're going to be
surprised how good it is. I mean, just
test it. Test it. whatever you try to
research because otherwise Twitter going
to waste your time with politics with uh
all kinds of rage bait other kind kind
of bait to get the same understanding
about the stock or asset on yourself by
scrolling Twitter it's going to take
five times more time you're going to get
lost you're going to get distracted here
you ask about anything you get the exact
people who speak about it they are
ordered by credibility you I mean it's
insane basically
>> yeah test that that's a good one and
before we take stuff and everybody
there's there'll be a link in the
description uh to check that out. But as
a reminder,
>> the link Rob put
bullmania.com/subscribe.
You guys sign up for the newsletter and
in the newsletter you're also going to
know we're going to send out in the
newsletter when new spots for Bulmania
are available and uh you join from
there.cribe.
>> Exactly. So the newsletter is the
gateway to to everything. And then in
the newsletter, we we're going to send
send out when new spots are available,
you join, everything's great. You get
boom, boom, AI, mechanical rules,
everything, the full thing.
>> Gotcha. I'll put that in there. All
right. Well, Ivan, I wish we had more
time. As usual,
>> likewise,
>> you always got interesting stuff, but I
appreciate it. And everybody,
>> thanks so much for stopping by and Ivan
to stop by. If you'd like to donate a
little bit to the uh charity, there's a
link in the description. Obviously, you
can do any kind of crypto that you want
to. And that is it for this one. So, I
haven't we will catch up with you.
>> Rob, I I'll I'll donate 10K to your uh
to your charity, but I will need the
receipt so we get it from the tax. Uh
let's do it. Let's coordinate in uh in
in Twitter afterwards. So, uh yeah,
guys, donate. Smash the donate button.
Send the monies. Let's go.
>> Let's see. I appreciate it. I'll see
you. Bye.
>> All right. Gotta love that. That was a
good one. I And then there's another
secret that I wanted to I I want to
share with you before we get Rob Art in
here, which was the system that Ivan
created with Bulman is really good. It's
really comprehensive. And what I did was
I fed the information into Claude and I
would have Claude be my like secondary
um person that would look at it. So,
like when I went through it, I was I was
doing a little bit more trading on the
stock side and I would tell Claud like,
"Hey, take a look at this." And I would
do a a screen share and it would look
through it and said, "Rob, [music]
that's not what Ivan was talking about.
You need to stop chasing and you need to
do this, this, and this." And because I
was able to do that, it made things a
hell of a lot easier. Anyhow, let's uh
give you a break here for two or three
minutes. I'm going to go grab Rob Art
and we'll be back in roughly three to
five. [music] And I'm gonna turn my mic
off this time. All right, everybody.
