NOTE: This was a piece that I wrote during my wattpad days. I had a massive crush on Benicio Del Toro and I still do, it’s just lowkey lol. I decided to upload this specifically for @anbanananna​. She keeps the flame going. PS: I wrote this a very long time ago so it is a bit cringe lmao, please spare me.

The birds chirped lovingly outside of her windows as she woke up that beautiful Saturday morning. The sun was high up in the sky and clear of any type of clouds. It instantly put her in high spirits as YN got ready for her day. She moved swiftly around her spacious bedroom as she moved from her bathroom to her closet to her vanity table. There was no reason whatsoever for YN to get so dressed up but she just felt like doing so. After putting her hair into a high ponytail, she grabbed her phone and left her room. Her spaghetti flower print summer dress flowed behind her as she walked down the stairs and headed towards the kitchen.

She could hear commotion from one wing of the house but she didn't want to bother herself with that. When she entered the kitchen she saw Ramon and his staff working on cooking breakfast but Jade did not feel like waiting. She sat at the kitchen islet and waited.

"Good morning Miss YN." Ramon greeted her.

"Good morning Ramon. What are you serving for breakfast?"

"Today it is going to be very simple, between pancakes and waffles."

"Easy choice. Can I have some waffles please?"

"With all of the toppings?"

"Extra maple syrup please." YN smiled at him before he left her. As she sat at the islet, she scrolled through her phone, replying to her friend's messages and her social media catching up on the latest gossip. As she did so, she didn't notice her father enter the room.

"Good morning mija." He greeted as he placed a kiss onto her forehead.

"Morning papa." She replied to him as he sat beside her.

"How are you feeling?" He asked her.

"I'm good. Just waiting on Ramon to make my breakfast. Theresa is coming by later to pick me up so we go hangout with our friends." YN told her father about her day.

"I need to talk to you before you leave."

"Okay papa."

After that, her father left her alone. She was a bit worried about what he wanted to talk about because most of the time, he would just tell her out front. Rafael Estes was her father.

Rafael Estes, the most feared and most powerful drug lord in Mexico was her father. Her mother was his favourite mistress. He never hid their relationship but when she got pregnant with YN, she left Mexico and moved to Brazil. They stayed there until nine years and her mother became ill. Rafael came to their rescue. He moved them back to Mexico and took care of her and her mother until she passed away five years later. YN wasn't his only child but she was the only one who still lived with him. She was twenty-two and she could have left already but she was too close to her father to just leave. She didn't want to take over his empire, that was up to her older brothers to deal with.

YN tried to live her life as normal as possible and that's why she kept her mother's surname. The two didn't even look alike but when they were standing next to each other,  you could see the relation. She did all the things girls her age do. She was enrolled into a private university and she had a group of friends and they all knew who her father was. To be honest it was kind of hard to hide because wherever she was, there were some guards around. They never shadowed her but they were always in the background of where she was except when she was at university.

When she finished her breakfast, she went to get her bag and when she entered the hallway leading to her father's office, it was littered with some of his workers. They all respectfully greeted as she passed by. Her father's office door was wide open so she just stepped in. She noticed a man standing in front of her father's desk. From the back she could tell that he was decked out in high tech gear. Instantly, her mind began to race.

"Papa." She spoke, causing both of the men's heads to face her. The first thing she noticed were his hazel eyes. Followed by his rugged, rough beard that was thicker around his pink lips than on his cheek bones. His black hair was pushed back in a messy kind of way that looked like he continuously ran his hand through it. She blushed when he smirked slightly.

She had been staring at him for a bit too long. "Mija sit down."

YN did as she was instructed. Her body was still nerved by the man standing behind her.

"You know I would have never called you in here if I didn't think the issue was serious." She nodded her head. "I never want to stress you with my business but I've been put in a position where I need to let you know some things."

"Is everything okay Papa?"

"Things will be baby. Right now I'm in the midst of a drug war with the Medellin cartel. It's getting a bit too dangerous so I'm going to have to make sure that you aren't caught in the crossfire." He said. "The man behind you is Guillermo Sollima and I've hired him to protect you as he takes somewhere safe."

"What about you?"

"I'll be okay."

"I can't lose you too."  YN felt like crying as the realisation began to sink in.

"And you won't mija. But I cannot in good conscience let you stay here knowing people are coming to look for me. I'd rather you bury me and I bury you if the time comes."

"Why can't you come with me?"

"Because these boys think they can run me away and take over my territory. As a good leader, I stick with my men no matter what it is." Rafael said. "The maids have already packed some of your clothes. You need to leave today ...."

Everything was so sudden and YN sat in the chair as she tried to come to terms with what she was being told. It was like everything was in slow motion. She didn't even know when she got out of the seat and found herself walking back to her room. She got dressed in something more comfortable and she kept her hair in her ponytail. She packed some reading books to keep herself entertained. She messaged her friends that they wouldn't be able to talk to her for a while and none of them questioned her and after she turned off her phone.

After an emotional goodbye with her father, she got into the car and they drove away. As she was sitting in the back as tears silently fell, Guillermo watched her through the rear view mirror.

"Everything will be alright." He spoke to her for the first time. She looked at him to find his striking hazel eyes already on her.

"How can you be so sure?"

"Because you've got me."

.

And he was right. As they traveled through the length of Mexico towards its south border, there was no trouble. Well there was no trouble that ever came close to YN. Guillermo kept her well away from it. There were times that he would come back to where they were staying with cuts and bruises and she tended to them. Those were their bonding times. He wasn't much of a talker but when he did, she enjoyed hearing his voice. He told her stories of his endeavours across the globe as a service man for the CIA. He didn't hide the fact that he was a contracted assassin for them. He wasn't on any side of the law. He was on the side that paid him the most money. And her father had paid him in the millions to make sure that she got to his private island off the coast of South Argentina.

They were now in Brazil. YN spent most of her days with the locals in the market or in the little apartment they were renting out. They were only supposed to stay for a few days but it had been more than a week now. Guillermo told her that he was having a little bit of trouble with looking for transport but he was working on it. Even though he didn't tell her. but she had noticed that whenever she left the apartment, she had noticed that there were eyes that would watch over her.

Today, she didn't feel like leaving so when she woke up, she took a shower and cooked some breakfast. She looked towards Guillermo's room and she didn't hear anything. She didn't want to disturb him just in case he was in there sleeping. She placed his plate into the microwave and went to sit by the television. She was so engrossed in her show that she didn't hear the front door open and Guillermo stepped into the room.

"Morning YN." He spoke. Jade placed her plate onto the table and turned around.

"Morning G." She greeted him with a smile. But it quickly faltered when she saw him clutching onto his side. "What's wrong?"

"I got into a little fight. It's okay."

"You look hurt." YN rose to her feet and went towards him. He knew not to protest against her because she would just keep on persisting that she help until he let her. He sat down on the couch and as he gingerly took off his shirt, YN grabbed the first aid kit and came back to him.

"You've been in too many fights since we got here. That's not good Guillermo." She scolded him as she began to clean up his wound. It wasn't deep but it still drew a lot of blood.

"I'm sorry mama." He playfully replied. She looked at him through her lashes and those piercing hazel eyes were staring down at her. "Someone said something I didn't like and I just had to set them straight."

"What did they say?"

"You wouldn't want to know. It was disrespectful to you." After that they didn't speak any further until she fully cleaned and covered his wound.

"Well thank you for defending my honour." She told him as she lightly traced the now bandaged wound. Her fingers aimlessly began to trace his tattoo that was on the side of his torso.

"No problem." He mumbled softly. Her touch was affecting him in ways he couldn't explain. He didn't want to openly admit that he was attracted to her but in his mind he kept repeating that she was too young for him. YN didn't seem to care because there were times where they would mindlessly flirt and she seemed to always give in. He stopped the hand that was tracing his tattoo and her eyes averted back to his.

"I'm sorry." She whispered softly.

"It's okay." He told her. He didn't want to let go of her hand. It was so soft in his. She bit onto her lip when she noticed their closeness. Every part of her was telling her to close that gap and kiss him but she didn't want to make the first move.

They didn't need to speak as their bodies did the speaking for them. Guillermo placed his hand on her cheek and caressed her skin with the pad of his thumb. YN found herself shifting her position and sitting on the back of her legs to be closer to his face. She held onto his hand as she waited for him. But it looked like he was waiting for her to consent verbally.

"Please." She whispered softly. Guillermo finally closed the gap between the two and laid his lips onto hers. She didn't expect them to be so soft but they were. Like marshmallows. His mouth tasted like menthol with the slightest hint of nicotine. He held the back of her neck as his tongue invaded her mouth and it caused her to moan softly. Guillermo dominated over her and she found herself getting weak. Their breathing became heavier as their kiss intensified. She was still mindful of his wound but he didn't seem to care as he pulled her onto his lap causing her to gasp.

Without giving her room to breath, Guillermo deepened the kiss. He would nibble on her bottom lip, suck on her tongue and squeeze on her body. She felt like risking it all. Her thighs clenched as he slowed down the kisses. His  grip on her neck was still there as he kept her in place.

When he finally pulled away, her chest was heaving up and down as she tried to calm down. Her inner thigh was pressing against his length and she could feel it harden underneath her.

"Your breakfast." She was still struggling for breath as she laid her forehead against his. "Your breakfast is in the microwave." She mumbled as she blushed softly.

"Thank you." He replied, licking his lips, savouring her taste. She didn't want to move so she just stayed on his lap causing him to chuckle. YN squealed as he stood up and wrapped her legs around his waist. "Since you didn't want to move."

YN giggled as she placed her head in his neck. Their relationship had now reached other heights and she didn't want to change a thing.

Her bodyguard was now more than that .....

YN couldn't believe how beautiful Uruguay was. They were at the border of the country with Argentina. Being that Uruguay was a safer country, YN didn't need to hide her face or be cooped up in the apartment. For the two days, she had spent most of her time, getting supplies upon supplies, from canned foods to toiletries. Once they entered Argentina, they wouldn't stop travelling, only to get some sleep, a shower and hot food until they got to the south. The journey was going to be long but YN couldn't wait until she reached her father's island. She was now wearing her natural hair and had no false nails anymore. She also stopped wearing makeup and she felt so good.

Guillermo was sitting on the floor as he cleaned his weapons and packed his ammunition. Luckily enough, YN  had not been exposed to any type of gun fire but she knew that he had definitely killed some people for her protection because he often came back with bruised knuckles and a black eye a few times. Her growing attraction to him did not stop, it only intensified. He was leaning against the wall, dressed in a white vest top and his trousers. He was sharpening his knife when he finally looked up and smiled when he saw her looking at him. She was laid on her side on the couch in a soft flowing summer dress.

“Come here.” He said softly as he placed his weapons down and pushed them away at a good distance. YN got up from her seat and to where he was on the floor. She clutched on the sides of her dress as she lowered down onto his lap. Once she was situated, she wrapped her arms around his neck as his arms came to her neck.

"What's wrong mi amor?" He asked her as his thumbs caressed her back.

"I just wanted your touch." She replied as she pulled him up closer to her face which caused him to chuckle.

"All you had to do was ask baby." He mumbled as his lips tickled hers. YN bit onto her lip. No guy had ever made her feel the way Guillermo made her feel. So many times she had chucked it to the fact that they were in isolation together but the feelings she was getting for the man seemed far deeper. This man was risking his life for her protection. But it wasn't just a job anymore. He was doing this because he cared for her and he wanted to see her safe from danger. He knew that they were far from it but he could never be too sure with her father's enemies. The private island was heavily guarded and he knew getting her there she would be out of harm's way.

She dropped her head shyly onto his shoulder. Guillermo placed soft kisses on her skin. He hooked his finger onto the strap of her dress and brought it down. His beard tickled her skin but she enjoyed the feeling. His other hand began to inch her dress further up until his hand was underneath her dress and playing on the hemline of her underwear. YN bit onto her lip as she ran her hand through his hair.

"Please Guillermo." She asked him as she thrusted her hips forward softly onto his fingers. He placed his forehead onto hers as he pushed her underwear to the side and began to rub on her clit. She moaned as her eyes fluttered close.

“Tell me what you want love.” He whispered into her ear as he inched one finger into her.

“I want to feel all of you.” She whispered to him which caused him to groan softly. He pulled down the rest of her dress so that it pooled onto her waist. He leaned forward as he captured her lips. He nibbled onto her bottom lip as he entered his tongue into her mouth. She whimpered as he began to finger her at a steady pace. His fingers were skilled and she could quickly feel her orgasm rising. Guillermo tore his lips away from hers and popped her nipple into her mouth. He yearned for the moment that she would be like this in his arms. He focused on all of the love faces that she made. The tremble of her lips and the scrunch at the corner of her eyes. He loved seeing the way her lips would shape to make those sweet moans that he enjoyed hearing.

"I'm going to cum." She moaned as she grabbed onto the fabric of his shirt and rode his fingers faster. His fingers curled and pressed onto her spot and the other squeezed her ass. "Fuck!" YN cussed as her walls squeezed his fingers, trapping them inside of her. She cried out his name as she exploded all around his fingers. He pulled them out and she took his hand and began licking his fingers clean as she stared deeply into his eyes. It was then when she felt his hardened length underneath the softness of her thigh. Guillermo took his fingers out of her mouth and replaced them with his tongue. He moaned against her lips as the taste of her invaded his taste buds. He stood up with her in his arms and walked to the bedroom with their lips still in contact. When he laid her down, stripping her clothes, his lips and hands were never far from the sweet spots. Guillermo stopped for a while to strip his clothing. YN took in all of his scaring and thought that he was beautiful anyway. He got onto the bed and in between her legs. Facing her beautiful pink pussy budding like a rose, he leaned down and ran his tongue up from her slit to her clit and he did it over and over.

"Oh my god." YN moaned as her eyes closed and she fell onto the bed. Guillermo ate her out like he had not eaten in days. He would pay close attention to her clit, sucking into his mouth and slobbering onto it. He thrusted his tongue into her core and wiggled it. It was all too much for her but she didn't dare pull away from him. In fact, she kept his head in between her legs.

"Oh fuck!" She squealed as her legs shook from her impending orgasm. Her eyes were beginning to cross as her whole body convulsed. Without any warning, she came into his mouth. But he didn't stop. It deepened his hunger. He gripped her thighs and continued licking her. Her clit was extremely sensitive and he used that to his advantage.

She struggled for air as she tugged on his hair and the sheets.

"Baby." She breathlessly let out as her third orgasm was triggered.

"Let it all out sweetheart.” He groaned, biting onto her inner thigh as he replaced his tongue with his fingers. Even though her mouth was wide apart, no noise came out but her cream coated her fingers. Determined to draw another orgasm out of her, he got onto his knees and held one of her legs apart as he thrusted his fingers into her faster and faster.

"Oh shit!" She exclaimed. "Fuckkkk! Papi wait!" She gasped as the strong urge to pee gripped her.

"I'm gonna squirt." She told him and tried to push his hand away but he wrapped his arm around her throat and looked into her eyes.

"Cum." He demanded. YN's eyes rolled to the back of her head as she splashed onto his fingers.

"Yeah, that's it. Make a mess." He told her as her thighs shook in the aftermath. He slapped her pussy which caused her to whimper. He hovered above her and she placed her hands onto his neck and brought him down to capture his lips. She moaned as the scent of her essence filled her nostrils. He held onto the calves of her legs as he dropped his bottom half so that his length was rubbing against her opening before he slowly entered into her and began to thrust at a steady pace.

He swallowed all of her moans. She felt so good. She was extremely wet and gushy. Every time he thrusted into her and pulled out, her cream coated his length. He groaned as she squeezed him tightly.

“So fucking wet. You’re taking me so well Princess.” He groaned as he pecked her lips. His words were turning her on. Hearing him being so vocal about made her smile because he was usually so quiet to the outside world.

"Fuck me harder Daddy." YN told him as she looked up into his eyes. She smirked as she saw his eyes darken. He laid down so that their chests were pressed together. He wrapped his hands around neck from the front and the back as he pounded into her harder and harder. He completely took her breath away. She had no words but she panted and held onto his arms, digging her nails into his skin.

"Is this what you want?" He huskily mumbled into her ear and then nibbled on her earlobe. "Me fucking you deep and hard like this."

"Yes Daddy! It feels so fucking good." She exclaimed. YN couldn't take it anymore but she wasn't going to give up now. "You're so fucking deep, I love it."

Guillermo sucked and nibbled on her skin, leaving marks where his lips touched. Her hands reached out gripping onto the pillows as his hands ran into her hair gripped on it as he fucked her harder and harder.

His thrusts were becoming sloppier and sloppier.

"You're going to cum baby? I feel you throbbing inside of me." She moaned seductively which caused him to grunt. She ran her hands down his back and squeezed his ass as she kissed all over his face as she rolled her hips. "Please cum." She whispered into his ear. "Please cum for me."

That was all it took for him to pull out and let his seed paint her thighs. As he came down, she wiped away the evidence and collapsed back onto the bed, completely sedated. Guillermo laid down beside her and placed a kiss onto her cheek. She turned around and kissed him.

"We leave in the morning." He told her which caused her to nod her head and then slowly but surely fell asleep …

—

Six men were circulating the apartment. They were all ready to enter the building. No words were spoken and as they nodded to each other and then began to walk closer to the entrance.

Three soft knocks came to the door and then a note was slid through the bottom of the door. Guillermo picked up the note and read it. Even though he should be panicked, he didn't need to worry. He had already packed the car, all he needed to do was wake up YN and leave. He put the silencer on the gun and enters the bedroom.

"Princess, wake up. We need to go now." He whispered urgently. YN was a light sleeper so when she heard his voice she got and put on her shoes. They walked hand in hand out of the apartment. Guillermo kept her behind his body as they slowly descended down the stairs. Just as they turned a corner, they were faced with a man in a mask. Guillermo placed the nose of the gun to his temple and pulled the trigger. Effortlessly, he took out two other men.

They ran out of the car and he pushed her into the car.

"Hide." He told her. She nodded her head and laid on the floor of the cab of the truck.

Guillermo turned round and went back to the building. When he got back into the building. He found the rest of the men all standing there. He shot one of them through the back of his head which grabbed the other two's attention. One of them punched Guillermo's hand which caused him to drop his gun however he quickly recovered as he poked the man's throat with four fingers, breaking his larynx and crushing his windpipe. As the man struggled to breath, Guillermo bent down and grabbed his gun, shooting the man in the knee and as he fell, a bullet went through his forehead. From the corner of his eye, he saw the last man standing reach for his gun. Guillermo, being quicker, grabbed his knife and threw it. It hit him right into the chest and he collapsed. Guillermo walked up to the man and shot him in between the eyes and then pulled out his knife, wiping the blood on the dead body's clothes.

He walked back out into the car and knocked three times. "YN, it's me."

YN sat up and unlocked the door. Guillermo got in and sat in the driver's seat as YN made her way onto the passenger's seat. "Did you see anybody else?" He asked her.

"No." She replied. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." YN leaned forward and pecked his lips. "Let's get out of here."

Without anything further, Guillermo put the keys into the ignition and turned on the engine. As they drove away Jada interlinked her fingers Guillermo's as they drove away ….

A Year Later ...

YN had woken up that morning and felt like she needed a swim. But not in the pool in the backyard of the house, she wanted to be in the water of the ocean. She put on a simple black swimsuit and made her way out to the beach. It was still the dawn of day and the birds were chirping. She was finally at peace. After months of trying to escape the clutches of her father's rivals, she had finally arrived at the private island. There were a few locals who stayed on it to maintain the place and they had quickly become their friends.

She had become accustomed to the island life and preferred it more than anything. The only thing she didn't like was the fact that as soon she got there, her father demanded for Guillermo. He wanted him back in Mexico for another job. YN didn't want him to leave but she had no control over him because his contract was with her father and not her. They made love all day and all night before he left.

That was about seven months ago and YN missed him terribly. He would sneak phone calls to her quite frequently but it wasn't the same. She wanted to be in his presence. To feel him underneath her fingertips and to hear his voice first hand and not through a phone. Because she missed him, she started causing trouble for the personal security guards she's had since his departure. YN was on her fifth one and she didn't care for him. She would often run away from the home and disappear somewhere off the island for hours. This would cause her father to panic and she'd edge him on to fire them. None of them could match up to Guillermo so she saw no reason for them to stick around.

After her swim, the sun was now in the sky and she walked back to the house. The only people that lived there were her father, the staff and a few of the body guards. She knew that by this time, the house would be alive and buzzing with activity.

"YN!" Her father yelled from the living room as she entered through the kitchen door.

"Yes Dad?" She replied.

"Come here for a second darling."

She walked to the living room and before she could greet her father, she saw Guillermo sitting on the couch. He was leaning forward onto his knees with his fingers intertwined between them. She had to stop herself from running forward and jumping onto him.

"What's this?" She asked.

Her father sighed as he got up from his seat and approached her. "I know that on your journey here, you grew used to having Guillermo around and that it wasn't in my best interest to take him away from you when you had grown to trust him. I know you kept rebelling because you didn't like the other guards that I brought in for you. So I've asked for Guillermo to come back."

YN smiled softly. "Thank you." He kissed the side of her head.

"I'll leave you too to rekindle then. Breakfast will be in thirty minutes."

"Okay."

Once her father was out of sight and far away, Yn was quick on her feet to go to him. He embraced her into his arms and held her close. One hand was on the back of her head whilst the other secured around her waist.

"I missed you so much." She sobbed softly. His cologne engulfed her senses and it felt so good to be in his arms again. He pulled away, just enough to look into her eyes.

"I missed you too." He smiled softly which caused her to smile. "I wish I could kiss you right now." He mumbled. YN bit onto her lip as she felt the same.

"I feel the same way. We should go somewhere. I know a place."

"What time do you want to go?"

"After breakfast. I spend most of my time out of the house. Papa will know I'm with you so he won't question it much."

"That's fine with me."

YN stood on her tip toes and placed a kiss dangerously close onto the corner of his lips. Afterwards she ran away up to her room which caused him to chuckle. Guillermo truly missed her.

It was later on in the day after breakfast did YN and Guillermo leave the compound. They drove to an isolated spot far south from the house. YN directed Guillermo through the woods on a dirt road and eventually came off the road. The further they drove in, the clearer the sound of water became. Soon enough a small waterfall came into view.

"Wow." Guillermo mumbled.

"Beautiful right?" YN smiled as she looked at his awestruck face. She took off her seatbelt and opened the door. "Come on then."

Guillermo followed her action, getting out of the car and locking it behind him. He watched as she stripped down to her bikini and dived in. Her body surfaced and she pushed her hair away from her face.

"You're not going to join me?" She asked smiling whilst biting onto her bottom lip. He took off his shoes and rolled up the bottom part of his trousers. He sat on a rock on the edge of the natural pool and dipped his feet in.

"Come on. I want you in here with me." She said as she swam towards him and got in between his legs. He looked down at her. The water dripped down her chest, following the curve of her breast. He licked his lips as he smiled down at her. She placed her hands on his thighs, pushing herself up so that she was closer to his face. She pecked his lips once and then again, until it became a full blown make-out session. She placed her hands on his cheeks, loving the feel of his beard underneath her fingers.

"Come in with me." She mumbled against his lips. YN moved away from him as got up and began discarding his clothes. Once he had stripped down to his bare body, YN untied her bikini and threw it beside him. He entered the pool and pulled her close. YN wrapped her hands around his neck as he held onto her thighs and wrapped her legs around his waist. She placed her forehead on his as her hands played with his hair.

“I missed you.”

“I missed you too.”

"I don't want you to ever leave me." She mumbled as she looked into his light green eyes.

"I won't." His hand came to her upper torso as he steadied her for him to enter into her. YN gasped as she tightened her hold onto him. Her head fell onto his shoulder as she adjusted to his size and began to slowly move on him.

"I love you so much." He whispered. YN took his face into her hands and kissed him lovingly. Their lips moved against each other, moulding together perfectly. Nothing compared to how she made him feel .....

On their way back onto the compound, they could see commotion. People were frantically running around

"What's going on?" YN questioned, her voice coming out softly.

Before anything else could be said, someone came running towards them. Guillermo slowed down the car and rolled his window down.

“Sir! We've been ambushed!”

“By who?”

“I don't know but they've taken the house!”

A fun shot rang out and blood splashed onto Guillermo's face causing YN to scream at the unexpected event. The man fell onto the ground as blood came oozing out of his mouth. Without further thought, Guillermo put the Jeep into reverse.

"Baby." YN voiced worriedly as he drove off the main road that led to the compound.

"Everything is going to be okay. I got-." Halfway through his sentence, the side of the Jeep was struck on his side. The vehicle spun off the road and came to a crashing stop in the bushes. Guillermo has taken most of the impact. His head was slumped over the steering wheel as blood trickled down his face. YN sobbed as she took off her seatbelt and moved to check on him.

"Guillermo can you hear me?" She asked as she felt for his pulse. He groaned in response which meant that he was still coherent.

"I'm going to try and get you out okay?" She announced. As she reached over to unplug his seatbelt, her passenger door opened. She turned to face who the person was that had opened the door. For a second, she had thought someone had come to help. But that all changed when they harshly grabbed her and began to roughly pull her out of the car.

"NO! LET GO!" She screamed as she held onto the handle above the door and tried to kick the stranger. But he was too strong and because of the crash, she was quite weak. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" She screamed and continued to scream.

"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS? PLEASE!"

"GUILLERMO!" She cried for him as they dragged her out of the car.

Guillermo could hear her pleading screams and agonising cries. He tried to move but he couldn't. His eyes opened but things were blurred. He tried to call out to her but his speech came out slurred.

"YYY-NN. YN." His eyes stayed open long enough to see the mystery man throw her into the back of a van and drive away. That was all that he remembered before he gave into the pain and blacked out ....

Guillermo was loading his shot gun as he sat in his car. It was hidden in the bushes about half a mile away from the compound where they were keeping YN. After he woke up after passing out, he found out that the remaining Estes cartel had saved him from the wreckage and they had gotten a doctor to patch him up. Even though he was told to rest, he wasn't going to lay down until YN was back by his side.

So he went looking for answers. The streets weren't speaking to him as he was being nice. But he was running out of time and patience. After catching one of the members of the rival gang running his mouth about the ambush, Guillermo was able to torture the information of where they were keeping her.

Normally he would be at ease but he was being fuelled by rage. All sorts of images of them touching and hurting YN were blocking his vision. He placed the shotgun on the passenger seat and checked his assault rifle and his pistol. His knife was strapped safely onto his leg. Once he was ready, he opened the door and made sure that all of his weapons were on him before he left his car.

Two guards were patrolling the main gate of the compound. They were sitting in front of the black iron gate on some deck chairs sharing a blunt. Their guns were on their sides.

"Look at this bitch though. Her pussy is so good. All them fat lips be hugging my dick nice." One of the guards said as he was holding his phone showing his partner a picture of one of his many companions. The partner laughed as he let out a cloud of smoke.

"Can I get with her? I'm tryna see if your words hold weight."

"Ahaha! Of course you can man." He took the blunt from his partner and as he was putting his phone away, he caught sight of a figure walking towards them.

The first guard frowned. "Who the fuck is that?" He asked as he sat up straight with his eyes focused on the walking figure. The second guard followed the sight of his friend and saw the man.

"I don't know. We weren't expecting any visitors today." He said as he stood up and picked up his gun ready to shoot. It was pointed towards the figure.

"Hey!" Then the second guard shouted as he kept his gun up. "Hey! You're not allowed here!"

When they saw that the man wasn't slowing down, the first guard scrambled to his feet, grabbing his gun. But it was too late for any type of action from the men. A rocket was now flying towards them. Before they felt the impact of the rocket head, they screamed loudly. It was inevitable. The rocketed came into contact with the iron gate and exploded.

As the rocket exploded after making contact with the gate, he threw the rocket launcher onto the floor and he took his HK416 into his hands and began to survey the area through the eyepiece as he jumped over the burning bodies. Once he saw that the coast was clear, he walked through the courtyard and bust open through the front door.

YN could hear the commotion in the house. After the explosion echoed through the house she knew something was going down. She hoped that it was Guillermo coming for her but they were in the midst of the drug wars, it could be anyone from the rival gangs attacking the compound.

Her hands were tied behind her back and her mouth was duct taped so that she couldn't make any noise and bring attention to herself. As gunshots rang through the air, YN thought about how she could escape the predicament that she was in.

For the past three days, she had been weak because of the accident prior to being held captive. Now that her energy had been restored, she was able to see and think clearly. Her eyes darted around the room to look anything sharp that she could use to cut the ropes. And to her luck she found shards of broken glass on the floor just below the boarded up window.

"Bingo." She mumbled to herself as she sat up on the mattress. She got up and walked to the window. She then got down onto her knees and picked up the biggest and thickest piece that she could find. Using it as a knife, using the technique that Guillermo had taught her, she cut herself out of the ropes.

.

In the foyer of the mansion, Guillermo was going through the gang members like a warm knife cutting through butter. Whilst he had one man in a chokehold, he was fighting another who was trying to fight him with a knife. As the man swiped for his face, Guillermo ducked down and punched the man in the stomach. As he doubled down, Guillermo took his pistol from his side and shot him in the head. He then shot the man that was in his arms twice in the chest and let him fall to the ground.

As he was about to walk up the stairs, he felt a bullet hit his chest. His body fell to the floor and he groaned as he felt the pain of the bullet through his bulletproof vest. He turned his body so that he could see the feet of his shooter. He shot at his knees. The man screamed as he fell to the floor. Guillermo shot him through the forehead. He rolled around the corner as he took the bullet off from the vest. He took some deep calming breaths as he loaded his gun and took an assault rifle from a deceased body on the floor. He checked the magazine and saw that it was still quite full.

He could hear the shouting of the men as they looked for him. He heard them going up the stairs which was perfect for him. He quickly got up to his feet and ran behind them and began shooting. The bodies all fell to the floor but Guillermo was still on high alert so as he began to yell for YN, his gun was still high up in position as he looked around making sure that no one was coming for him.

"YN!" She heard her name being yelled. It took her a moment to register his voice. She sat up from her mattress and ran to the door and began to bang on it.

"Guillermo! Baby I'm in here." She screamed as she made as much noise as she could to draw attention to herself. She could hear his footsteps getting faster and louder.

"YN?" She heard his voice on the other side of the door.

"I'm in here. I can't get out." She said.

"There's a padlock on the door. Step back a bit, I'm going to shoot at it."

"Okay." She took a few steps back and she covered her ears as she heard the fast rounds of bullets hit the door. Soon after she heard him kick the door open. Without waiting, she ran and jumped into his arms and captured his lips. He groaned softly as he wrapped his hands around her torso and held her close. He pulled away and laid his forehead on hers looking down into her eyes.

"Are you okay? Did they hurt you?" He asked as he placed his hands onto her face and looked for any type of bruising.

"I'm okay. They didn't do anything to me either than tie me up and put me in this room." She replied. "What about you?" YN asked as she noticed a black eye forming and that he was wincing a little bit.

"Don't worry about me." He gave her a small smile. "Let's get out of here." With that, he handed her his pistol and then took her hand into his.

As they made their way out, they scouted the rooms making sure that there was no one left. Guillermo walked into the kitchen and turned the gas stove on. Once they were outside and at a safe distance, Guillermo looked through the eyepiece to see his target of the stove through the window. He pulled the trigger and moments later, the house exploded.

They walked to the hidden spot where his truck was.

"How long did it take you to find me?" She asked him as they stood outside.

"Not long. It was just the journey that took long." He replied. He tucked her hair behind her ear. She truly wasn't harmed and that gave him so much relief. Just looking at her face he knew how much he loved this young woman. He didn't want to tell her but he had to. "I need to tell you something."

"What?" YN frowned slightly as her back straightened up in alertness.

"They got to your father." He said. There was no mincing of his words. From the beginning they had wanted her father. Even if they didn't get to him, they were going to get to him through her.

"What?" YN stumbled as tears began to cloud her vision.

"I'm so sorry." He whispered as he held her close.

"How?"

"Don't ask me to tell you.” He mumbled. YN buried her head into his chest as she cried for her father. He held her tight as her sobs vibrated through his chest. He wanted to take her pain away but this was something that she had to feel for her to heal. There was no way that he was going to tell her the gruesome details of what the gang did to her father. The details would scar her for life and he was not about to give her that trauma.

As she calmed down, he placed a kiss on the top of her head. She turned her head to the side whilst she was laying on his chest.

YN knew about the life that she was in but it didn't make it hurt any less. Her father had taken her in and loved her unconditionally. He loved all of his children equally and she never felt like he was neglectful. Even though he was ruthless in his business when it came to his family Rafael kept that personality in a box. The pain she felt of losing her father turned into anger.

"I'm going to kill them." She mumbled as she sniffed. "I'm going to kill them all."

Guillermo took her words in. He could hear the conviction in her voice. She meant what she said.

"And we will." he replied. He pulled away from their embrace and looked into her eyes. "I promise we will."

Okay here's some of the tea:

Politics in Latin America are complicated because there are too many foreign interests in our countries and it has been like this since forever.

Maduro is a piece of shit so gringos don't try to be woke and defend him because Trump sided against him, that Trump dislikes him isn't a guarantee of anything have a little bit of critical thinking please.

He did a shit administration of a country and didn't manage to uplift the people from a crisis that is leaving everyone without food and medicine and living in a dangerous country in what used to be one of the richest countries of our continent, seriously, everyone used to move to Venezuela during the dictatorships and the 2000s crisis.... Also during his administration repression grew and it's practically impossible to speak against the government (plus some elections were faked and so on). Basically the Constitution was violated again and again, and people are of course tired of this and want a change. The opposition isn't full of saints either, and their hands are dirty too.

But also!!!! Grupo de Lima was founded in 2017 by the right winger presidents of Latin America: Macri of Argentina, Temer of Brazil, Chile, Peru, Costa Rica and Colombia too have right wingers/neoliberals, Guatemala and Honduras who are under dubious democratically elected leaders (there were loads of protests in Honduras when this guy who everyone hated suddenly won.....fishy how they're speaking in the defense democracy.....), Mexico who's president Peña Nieto was hated on a Maduro level too for similar reasons, Panama the forever allies of USA, Guyana and Santa Lucía who NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT SERIOUSLY, plus Canada our well known wolf in sheep's clothing.

So besides being right wingers, these governments are/were extremely hated by the people for similar reasons such as Macri's vertiginous rising of prices and taxes, their disastrous administrations, how they shit on the people and more. Besides, they also had in similar how many of them rised to power in dubious ways such as Temer after Dilma was impeached with no proof of partaking in corruption in an investigation of the party (PT) that she began (lava jato). Now in Brazil Bolsonaro is in charge which doesn't need more explanations.

Colombia's current president Ivan Duque also follows a Trump discourse, so do many more of them (but I'm not up to date with all of them so I can't expand on that there are after all over 20 countries to keep up with).

All these countries are also the main receivers of Venezuelan refugees and....they are not too happy about it, putting harsher immigration laws than before and restricting their passports and speaking ill about the Venezuelan immigration....

The fact that this new president is supported by Grupo Lima and Canada and USA isn't a good thing either.

So what I want to say is that as with everything in Latin America things aren't so black and white, they are more like grey then white then black and then grey again.

We can't find a clear solution because there isn't a good one, and we can't find a single culprit because there isn't only one! Just as it happened during the dictatorships, things didn't happens just because El Goyo or Videla or Castelo suddenly woke up one day and decided to become emperors, there is a base that sustains these figures according to their interests.

Unfortunately, the only victims are as always the people.

The main reason I’m writing this post is to tell you that things do get better and even though we make mistakes or life/people do us wrong, things do fall into place. A few things to note: 1) I’m from Argentina and some of the best universities with the most demanding programs are free. 2) There will be mentions of struggles with mental illness in this post, but I won’t get into detail. 3) This post is so sugarcoated it’s ridiculous.

In 2011, I was in my last year of highschool, and I decided I wanted to be an English translator. I knew it was a very challenging major but I was young and I thought “eh, what could go wrong?”. Fast forward to February 2012, I’m moved into my dorm, and classes are starting. I’m doing my best but I’m going to be honest here: I didn’t know what I was doing.

One month later, I’m hit in the face with a brick by repressed childhood trauma. I become severely depressed. I don’t sleep, I don’t eat, I skip classes because I’m too weak to go outside, I don’t have any real friends who know what I’m going through, my family is far away in another city and I lie to my mom and tell her I’m fine. I barely survive the entire year and when December comes, my mom comes to the city to visit. “Mom, please get me out of here. I can’t do this anymore.”

This was all out of the blue for my mom but she listened and I moved back in with her. I somehow managed to tell her about my trauma and I spent all of 2013 going to therapy and not talking about it.

2014 comes around and I decide that I’m not going to let what happened to me stop me from doing what I want to do so I go back to give my major another chance. Big mistake. Looking back, I clearly wasn’t ready. But I am stubborn that way. So I try again, not so depressed this time but constantly haunted by crippling anxiety. I start therapy again (with a different therapist because I’m in a different city), and we decide that I might need medication. Even with a good therapist and psychiatrist, I decide that living alone is too hard for me and I need to be close to my family to feel better.

So I move in with my grandparents (different town than my mom’s), and sign up for graphic design. I really liked the major but I was really unhappy with the dynamic my group of classmates had. I was lonely and I wasn’t enjoying class at all. So… I dropped out.

A while after that, my mom moves to my town, and we get a place of our own. I was determined to get a job and just, never have a diploma. But I wasn’t being honest with myself. I was giving up on my dreams and passions. My mom and grandma encouraged me to sign up for a new major: English education. I’m graduating in three years.

And here we are. I’m healthy and happy, I have a positive mindset and big plans for the future. Honestly, I would be happy studying for the rest of my life and that’s what I plan on doing as of right now. But who knows what could happen. I made all the changes and mistakes that got me where I am today and I wouldn’t change a thing. I couldn’t tell you how many times I felt hopeless and lost. How many times I gave up on my dreams, but here you have me, still chasing after bigger ones.

So please, ask for help. Talk to the people who are close to you and care about you. Give yourself time. Things happen when your heart is ready for them. Make all the changes you need to make in your life to make yourself happy. Don’t be afraid to do what you need to do to be true to yourself. And trust yourself. Because no one knows what’s good for you better than yourself. And the universe will do the rest.

I Used to Love Steak — Then I Met a Cow

Food

How, at age 50, I finally brought my love of animals in line with my behavior.

Photograph by Justin James Muir

When I was in my 20s, I started working at an alternative weekly, which I should explain to younger readers was a free tabloid-format newspaper that told people where to go, what to do, and which people were being crapped upon by politicians. Most of the other staffers were in their 20s and 30s, but we had a couple of “older” writers, too. One of them — let’s call her “Anna” — had an effortless cool that a young colleague and I admired. We’d whisper about Anna like high-schoolers crushing on the quarterback, and one day we decided to confess. So we went up to Anna, giggling, and said, “We want to be just like you when we grow up.”

Oh boy. We might as well have gifted her a subscription to AARP.

At the time, we didn’t get it. To us, Anna seemed like an adult, and we assumed that when we reached the ripe old age of 46 or so, we’d feel adult, too, and be pleased to have the young folk look up to us.

But as I’d learn in the years to come, even when you’re an adult, you don’t necessarily feel like one. It’s not as though there’s some Harry Potter moment when you go to King’s Cross and walk through the wall and suddenly it’s fine for people to call you “ma’am” or offer you a senior discount. There is no momentous click: “Finally! I am that competent, knowledgeable grown-up who understands IRS deductions and home refinancing! What a nice suit I’m wearing!”

Even when I reached my mid-40s, which is undeniably middle age, there was no sense of arrival, only an ongoing dislocation as my face changed in the mirror and 20-something colleagues youngsplained Twitter. I spent much of my 40s feeling shocked by how people saw me, and I thought a lot about something my grandmother used to say, even into her 90s: “Inside,” she’d tell me, “I still feel 19.”

•

Research has shown that people age at vastly different rates. In 2015, a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences demonstrated that biological age — which is determined by physiological markers such as blood pressure, organ function and metabolism — can vary significantly for people born in the same year. That means that some people, physically, are younger than their age — like that 82-year-old weight lifter on YouTube — and some people are older. This discrepancy has led to dozens of online quizzes that allow you to test your biological age and learn how to game the system, usually by being less sedentary and eating less junk.

The last one of those tests I took showed I was 20 years younger than my chronological age, which was nice. But it doesn’t actually explain the persistent disconnect between biological age and self-perception. I have a vision of myself hurtling through time — perhaps in an Elon Musk child-rescue capsule, just for fun — with my visceral sense of self trailing like a scarf caught in the door.

I’ve been thinking about all this because I turned 50 this summer, and I’m trying to embrace it. After all, after so many years of illness and suicidal ideation, it’s quite a miracle that I’m here at all. And I’m attempting to sync the number 50 with myself by asking: Who should Liz Spikol be as a credible 50-year-old?

In all my considerations, which were mostly done at night, on my couch, while playing Candy Crush on my phone, I kept coming back to one thing: It’s time to meet a cow.

•

Anyone who’s read my writing over the years knows I’m an animal freak. I’d rather talk about dogs or birds or hamsters or even guinea hens than any other topic, which makes me fun at parties. When social media feed me videos they think I’ll be interested in, they’re inevitably things like a husky on its back on the grass, yowling “no,” refusing to leave the park.

And yet there’s something else, too, that I haven’t mentioned a lot: For my whole life, I’ve been a meat eater. I don’t just mean a person who has a burger every now and then or gets chicken on the Caesar salad. I’ve been a devourer of animal flesh. I grew up on hoagies and cheesesteaks, in a Jewish home where bacon was king, and every year for my birthday I go out for the most expensive steak possible — as though I haven’t been eating steak and sausage and chicken and lamb and roast pork and all the rest for the entire year prior. I’ve had an almost spiritual relationship with steak. I don’t drink or smoke weed, but I do get high on steak.

In April, I went to Argentina with my boyfriend, and it was savage. With each bite we took of what is arguably the best beef in the Southern Hemisphere, we’d gaze at each other across the table, our expressions rhapsodic, like we were posing for a remake of Caravaggio’s Mary Magdalene in Ecstasy.

Yet even then, alight in a carnivorous glow, I knew it had to end. It was time, at 50, to bring my abiding love of animals into accord with my behavior, and if I would balk at eating a dog, why eat a cow? Some people argue they’re different, and that works for them. I’m not judging. But I have never really believed any animal is more worthy or sentient than any other. It breaks my heart to see a dead mouse on the sidewalk — I lament all the scurrying and nibbling it’s missing out on. That’s just not consistent with someone who gnaws on chicken wings.

As with the discrepancy between age and sense of self, there’s a disconnect between animal and “meat” for the casual eater. If the meat had a face, it would be harder to eat, but by the time a cow becomes a cheesesteak with Whiz, it’s just a local tradition, rather than a once-living creature. That’s why I’ve been wanting to meet a cow — to make it real.

So a few weekends ago, I went to Chenoa Manor, a nonprofit farm and animal sanctuary in Chester County, to participate in a farmhand workshop. Chenoa was founded by veterinarian Rob Teti, who’d dreamed of a haven for farm and work animals ever since he was a kid. Now, the 25-acre parcel is home to horses, pigs, donkeys, cows, llamas, alpacas, emus, geese, ducks, tortoises, rabbits, parrots, chickens and others — most of them refugees from labs, factory farms, slaughterhouses and the like. The farm holds public events but doesn’t seem exceedingly interested in courting public attention. Rather, the workers are focused on the work, and when you’re out on that beautiful land, away from honking cars and harried city pedestrians, you can see why they might not want it overrun with tourists.

The animals obviously have great lives there, doing what they want with no expectations except to be the most emu an emu can be. Two horses galloped across a field to inspect our group. The male sniffed each of us in turn, while his mother stood back and watched. Then he galloped away, and his mother followed. Seeing a horse run so freely, without a human or hardware attached, is a rare sight for a city dweller. It was glorious.

We spent a lot of time with goats, which was delightful. I had never seen goats stand on their hind legs to reach tall tree leaves, and I was happy to learn they pedal their hooves in the air as though they’re bicycling to keep balance.

We heard all about plant life and nature-based art projects, and then, at the end of the day, I asked to meet a cow. It was time for the reckoning.

We walked past a llama and an alpaca and a couple ponies to a rectangle of shade on one of Chenoa’s pastures. Though I’ve obviously seen cows from my car window, standing next to them is altogether different. They’re huge, especially cows that have been allowed to grow naturally rather than sent to slaughter. The five cows were all sitting down except one — and that one was the largest. Bentley is a dappled brown and white, with long, sharp horns. The words “lumbering beast” came to mind, but Heather Leach, who’d taught us a horticultural lesson earlier in the day, told us that Bentley was very friendly and liked people. Unfortunately, this resulted in his moving his mini-fridge-size head toward the person next to him, which was fine until he had to shake the summer flies off his face, swiveling those sharp horns.

Once I figured out how to stand next to him without being accidently impaled, I enjoyed petting his soft fur and looking into his black cow eye fringed with white eyelashes. I also scratched behind his ear, and he tilted his head accordingly. He liked the attention, though my fingers go much farther on my Chihuahua.

I met Lorraine, too, and Jamar, and was able, even in the short time we were there, to get a sense of these cows as individuals. If you’d asked me before if I’d be able to remember and name individual cows, I would have thought you were crazy.

On the other side of the fence there was Remus, an enormous pig who stood up when he saw me and stretched his nose in my direction. I put my hand against the fence so he could smell me, and Remus pushed his right ear against my hand and made a rubbing motion, like a cat doing a friendly head butt. When a cat bangs into your hand, though, it feels like a tap. When a large pig does it, it can knock you off balance, which is what happened to me. Since he threw his entire weight against the fence, I fell to one knee and dropped my bag. I was a little embarrassed to be felled by a pig, but when I righted myself and turned around, my view was entirely obscured by cowhide.

Bentley and Jamar had positioned themselves in a semicircle around me, like I was a calf they were blocking from predators.

“They’re protecting you!” Heather shouted from the other side of the cow wall.

Indeed, that’s exactly what it seemed like. They were completely still, standing in this formation, and I was hidden from view. I wasn’t sure what to do, so I just stood there, respecting their effort. Even though they weren’t looking at me, they were absolutely engaged with me. It was so different from having my dog paw at me, making desperate eye contact. Before I met these cows, I would have said that was the most authentic human-animal connection there was. But this was a rich communion as well, maybe even more profound for its silence.

My eyes filled with tears. “I’m sorry,” I whispered to them. “I won’t do it anymore.”

I meant eat them, of course. And I haven’t.

•

As an adult, I haven’t hit any of the traditional milestones: I’m not married, I don’t have children, and I don’t own a home. My car is a 21-year-old hand-me-down missing half its front bumper. The length of time I go between laundry loads is scandalous. I love all those memes people post about the challenges of “adulting,” even though I know they’re made for millennials. So much of the struggle seems to be having enough discipline to get tasks done. Self-discipline is hard.

I’ve never been disciplined in the slightest (ADD doesn’t help), so I thought giving up meat was going to be brutal. In preparation, I went to Whole Foods and spent $230 on non-meat products I’d never heard of. I bought vegan moisturizer and cruelty-free hemp body wash. I had lunch at Hip City Veg and Mama’s Vegetarian. When I told a meat-eating colleague I was going to dinner at Vedge, he said facetiously, “Enjoy your $15 carrot.” When we got there, that was the first thing I saw on the menu: a $15 carrot. It was delicious.

All this prep work wasn’t necessary, as it turned out. Unlike the number 50, which still strikes me as foreign, not eating animals feels right. I feel lighter and truer. I make more sense to myself. Sure, I could get all boring on the subject of factory farming and environmental impact, but that’s not how I got here. It was just time.

Maybe that’s what being an adult is all about. It gets to be time for certain things, and then making the change or having the discipline is easy. This year, I became a vegetarian and started exercising, and they both fit. Maybe next year it’ll be the laundry. Fingers crossed.

Published as “Don’t Have a Cow” in the September 2018 issue of Philadelphia magazine.

2017 Book List

BACK AT IT AGAIN. JUMP IN THE CAR!!! I’M STILL READING A SHIT TON OF BOOKS!!!!

1. How It Works: The Cat. 2.5/5 stars. I read this at a book store in Bergen because my brother laughed while he read it. I picked it up and it was ok?? I don’t understand why people who write about cats always, ALWAYS talk about how much of an asshole they are and how they don’t truly love you. And I just sit there like, have you ever owned a fucking cat??? Some parts of the book was super cute but I hate the trope that cats are “assholes.” yeah they’re dicks sometimes. But they’re not assholes 24/7 unless you’re an asshole to your cat.

2. The Greenest Island. 3.5/5 stars. This is another small book that I’ve been meaning to read for a couple of months now. It was pretty interesting and like Mrs. Dalloway I read last year, I’m not sure if I want to sell it or keep it. It’s beautifully written, the story is strong, but some of the characterization is just sort of annoying. Like I get that it’s a very real sensation and issue a young couple who get pregnant WAY TOO SOON without knowing each other. But only a man would think of something so drastic as the end in reference to raising a child. 

3. Letters for Lucardo: 5/5 stars. I saw this comic advertised early in 2016 and I’ve been watching the project closely. I help funding the gofundme and I bought a download and a signed copy of the physical book. The story about a 60 year old man falling in love with a Vampire stuck at the age of 36 was SO INTRIGUING plus the artist had a webcomic which I absolutely adored so I knew not only would the art be excellent but the storyline would be solid. This is one of four volumes and I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. The story line was so cute, the art was beautiful, the smut was *mwah* beautiful. But the best part was that it left me wanting for me and I can’t WAIT until the next three volumes are here. Support your local tumblr artist and enjoy some gay vampire storylines with well drawn wrinkly aging men. 10/10, 100/100 please read and enjoy.

4. A Special Study Set of Fine Art Reproductions. 4/5 stars. A little black spiral bound book of black and white copies of famous art works. It’s cute, it’s a good bite sized art book to get the gist of Western Art history. I knocked it down because the art pieces are in black and grey when I know for a FACT some art pieces are in color. So that was a bummer. But overall a nice rendition of some of the classics.

5. Alphonse Mucha: Masterworks. 5/5 stars. I bought this book probably 2 years ago? I’m in a reading funk right now and flipping through art books seems pretty doable. This book is chalked full of history of Mucha while I will read later. But the art quality is excellent, the sizes are big enough to view with pleasure. This is a excellent excellent book full of his art work. I love it. It makes me feel better for the fact I’ve only been drawing girls for the last year because I love drawing delicate features and strong women. If Mucha can just draws women for most of his career, I don’t have to feel guilty in only drawing women for a year.

6. Assassin’s Creed: A Visual History. 5/5 stars. Ok I’m going to repeat this over and over again. But I’m such a fan of the AC series, even if the latest editions have been a u t t e r let down. But I have to admit flipping through this book I got emotional. AC was such a fun series for me when I started and it helped me through a manic depression I had after a very serious illness almost 3 years ago. I don’t pretend the history is accurate or the plot lines are all there, but they means so much to me. As a history lover to the point I’m getting a Minor in college in history. I’ll always enjoy my AC games, no matter how cringe worthy and disappointing some of them end up becoming. Shout out to my boys (and girls) of the assassin creed order. <3 

7. The Art of Howl’s Moving Castle: 5/5 stars. I’ve had this book for a long time, when my childhood best friend and I would hang out nearly every day and sleep overs every weekend. She gave me this book a few months after I watched Howl’s Moving Castle because I was so enchanted by the movie. Howl’s Moving Castle is a favorite movie, book, and soundtrack. This art concept book is beautiful, it’s like a novelization of the movie without any dialogue. The back is the FULL script, there’s concept art, and fully fledged art story boards. If you’re a big fan of Howl’s Moving Castle, this is a great book to have in your library.

8. Tango! The Dance, The Song, The Story. 5/5 stars. My father lived in Argentina for awhile so he would make dishes growing up of delicious food. I love the tango, it’s so beautiful and down right seductive. So of course finding this book for 4 dollars I had to have it. It has photography, drawings, posters, female tango singers, the history of the tango. It’s chalked full of excellent information and it’s really enjoyable to flip through. 

9. Why Cats Paint: A Theory of Feline Aesthetics. 5/5 stars. I bought this book for my birthday last year because it was absolutely silly. It features “Cat Artists” and their aesthetics and their art pieces. Warning there are mummified cats in the beginning of the book which can be upsetting. This book is really goofy and the people who write it are serious but in a fun way? It’s a great book to read like today when I’m stuck in the house because of bad weather and having my own two cats it makes me curious to see if I could make my kiddos paint like those kitties in the book.

10. Life: The Classic Collection. 5/5 stars. A decent sized photography book of the most recognizable Life photographs. Not to forget there are 25 extra prints available for you in the book you can take out and frame. I love editorial photography and seeing the most iconic photos throughout the century. Idk man if you like photography and Life Magazine this is a great book to have.

11. Fashion: A History from the 18th to the 20th century. 5/5 stars. Beautiful book. Beautiful clothes. 

12. The Pharos Gate. 4.5/5 stars. I saw this book at Barnes and Noble early in 2016 and the intrigue had me thinking about it for awhile. I bought it for christmas, waiting to read it in right time. Early on this week I went to my favorite second hand book store and found out it had 3 books before this one. The Pharos Gate is the final book in a series but it can be read by itself. To be honest I think if I had to read the three books before this I would have become bored. That’s three books worth of people trying to find each other but keep missing connections, that’s infuriating. But this book was lovely and the letter writing kind of reminds me of the letters my best friend and I send to one another. She just went back to school and I think she would really enjoy this book so I’m going to send it to her with my own letter attached. I think she’ll like that. 

13. Pirateology. 4/5 stars. These series were my SHIT as a kid. Dragonolgy, Greek Myths, Pirateology. While Hastings went under and into ruins, I found this book for super super cheap. I have certain niches I love to learn/read/aesthetic. Regency, 1950s murder mystery (Looking at you 007), Westerns, weird vintage novels, and pirates. I love the history the book gives you, but as an adult the information is sort of lacking. This is a book definitely for kids, the plot line throughout the guide book is meh it’s ok but it doesn’t capture you, and the interactive bits are the best. I just wish there was more about specific pirates but other than those complaints this is a great book.

14. Viking Poetry: Of Love and War. 5/5 stars. I went to Norway for New Years and I didn’t buy a lot of souvenirs. I mostly bought key chains. I think I only bought two books, maybe even just the one. I bought this viking poetry at THE famous viking ship in Oslo. It was very very cool. I read this book today because I don’t feel well, I want to go to bed but I know I shouldn’t. I have too much homework to do but I’m not motivated to read. The viking poems are unique as they are pretty. I was sometimes disappointed they didn’t have great rhyming schemes but you have to remember these were written in various old languages and then translated into modern day English. If you want to read what the vikings considered poetry, this is a great introduction without reading the giant lores.

15. The Elements of Style: 5/5 stars. Oh my god it’s been so long I completely forgot what my book tag was. February has been crazy for me. I got a internship, I dropped a class because of stress, I’ve been stressed out like crazy, I’ve been doing a lot of school work. I felt like I’ve had no time to read for pleasure. I actually didn’t read this book for please (half pleasure) but for work. It was actually a lot of fun. We studied this book in AP Literature when I was a senior in highschool and I wanted to have it for myself as a writer, but also it’s excellent for my ambitions to become an editor. The writing is a little hard, sometimes I’d read a whole page without really absorbing what was on it. But it was interesting and you can read White’s frustration with writers with certain rules they ignored. I actually loved the add on V chapter by Strunk which said that English rules are extremely important but take in mind the language of your time and how you write. Your voice is important. Which I found very important and also felt like an eye opener with Editing for my job. I’ve been wary of making sure not to change anyone’s voice but also trying to keep with proper English rules. It’s been a lot of fun.

16. The Last Wish: Introducing the Witcher: 5/5 stars. This book took me me almost 2 full months to read. I’ve been so busy. I first started reading this book before my trip to Norway, took it all the way across Europe, back and I finally finally finished it today. I don’t know why it took me so long? I absolutely loved it. I played Witcher 3 last semester and really really loved the story line and characters. My sister-in-law loves the books so I gave it a try! I would definitely recommend this book if you like spins on fairytales and medieval magical worlds. I had a lot of fun but I’m glad I can finally pick a new book.

17. Shackleton: Antartic Odyssey: 4/5 stars. Today has been a recovery day and I’m, emotionally dead/it comes in waves. So I spent like 5 hours in a bath today and read this comic. The art is really good, the story is super intriguing! I was in Norway this last December and we went to a arctic ship museum because Norway was the first to reach the South Pole. But the author even said himself the comic needs to be at least 300 pages but his hand would fall off. And I wish he did do 300 pages. The story was short and choppy. I know it’s selfish, but as a reader I wish he did do his main goal because he had the perfect art style for this comic. Either way, I did enjoy.

18. Creole Folktales: 5/5 stars. If you love mythology, this book is pretty great. If you love Louisiana, black folklore, this book is pretty great. It doesn’t have 5 stars on amazon or goodreads because I think people take issue with the writing or they’ve heard these stories before. This was my first introduction to Creole folktales and I have to say i loved it. The nostalgia of reading different myths is pretty great plus the storylines can be hilarious to kind of terrifying. The author says to read this story by night and I have to agree. I read it all in one sitting this evening and I wouldn’t change that experience. 

19. I Shall Not Be Moved: 5/5 Stars. It’s been awhile since I’ve read a poetry book. Since February I think. Sundays are usually my comic or poetry days and I was in the mood for some poetry. I was going to read this book for Black History Month for my book club (if you wanna join hit me UPP) but February was so crazy and stressful that I couldn’t read anything. So this time I did read a Black Poetress but just for National Poetry month. I loved this book, super powerful and moving. I’ll probably be thinking about this poetry book for a long long time. 

20. Artists and their cats: 3/5 stars. Being stressed out in my finals week means I want to do a lot of book things just so I can procrastinate. I bought this book as a Christmas present for myself. I'm slightly disappointed in it because the book is called Artists and their Cats, but it's really more like, A mini biography of artists and oh, some cat photos. I was expecting heart warming stories about their cats. But no. I loved the photos though which make this book conflicting for me.

21. The Monkees comic book: 5/5 stars. Super cute. I feel bad because Mickey was drawn pretty horrible. But I loved the art. The choppy scenes were kind of hard to get into and that 1960s humor can be kind of cringey but I really really enjoyed it.

22. The Art of Drowning: 5/5 stars. So I was thinking this would have completed my Billy Collin’s reading, but apparently I read this book in 2014! How crazy! Well I read it and enjoyed it. That’s all. 

23. A Queen’s Journey: 4/5 stars. I’ve been having a lot of heart ache for my birth state as of late. I visited Hawaii this time last year since moving when I was 2 and not remembering a single thing about it. Everything fit and I felt like I was home (when I was in the ocean) and it was such a strange feeling. I’ve been missing it hardcore this last month and so I decided if I can’t go to the Island I’d read a book about Hawaii or a Hawaiian. I’m also a book traveler, I bring books on trips and my favorite souvenirs are books. I’m a person who can remember times and feelings by looking at books. This is one of the books I bought while on the big island and haven’t read until now. For the story itself, I definitely give it a solid 4 stars like most people have. The book is unfinished as the author died while writing it. But I actually love how the book ended, the last chapter is perfect for a finale. But everything leading up is meh. Don’t get me wrong, I flew through this book and found it so much fun but it’s written from the perspective of a white entitled reporter who doesn’t really understand Hawaiians but “loves” them because of the Queen. I would have preferred to have a story told from Queen Lili’uokalani’s perspective but it was a nice read.  

24. Lights Out and Away We Go by @naum-e : 5/5 stars. I’ve been following Naume-e for at least a year now and they draw the absolutely cutest/breathtaking spirk doodles on tumblr. When I saw they put up their formula one au book up for sale, I had to get it. They even sent me a sheet of adorable spirk stickers. I love it. The art is so professional, the cover is beautiful! The storyline is short and I wish there was more background and developlement but that’s just me being greedy. Only criticism I would have is that one page would be crisp and saturated black and the next would have a grey tone to it so it wasn’t as sharp. I don’t know if that was due to printing costs or stylistic choice but sometimes it worked, other times it was kind of distracting. Either way I really enjoyed it and loved the art!

(I’ve actually read 44 books but 20 of those are yaoi mangas/I don’t have the energy to type up individual reviews) 

25. And Three Makes Tango. 5/5 stars. I’m doing a summer class and this is a book I picked for a 5-7 page project about censored books. And Three Makes Tango is the true story of two male penguins who fell in love at the New York Zoo. They made headlines when the zoo keepers gave them a fertilized egg which made them the first male couple to raise a baby penguin. It’s super cute and the art is adorable and I can’t wait to write this 5-7 page essay on it.

26. Goldfinger. 4.5/5 stars. I really enjoyed this book! Dr. No was kind of a hot mess with a huge octopus, guano, and the girl not being entirely likable. This book was definitely a treat! It may be kind of boring because the first 150 pages is a slow burn of James finding a guy cheating at cards and like 3 chapters dedicated to just him playing golf. But I really really loved this? The only reason why I don’t give this book 5 stars is because of Bond’s very sexist and homophobic views he suddenly stated out of no where. There were a TON of lesbians in this book, Pussy Galore, Tally, and he seemed ok with them except he was disappointed he couldn’t fuck them. And then said lesbians and gays were all sissies who he had no time for (even though Bond is like super, mega gay for James Bond. SUPER MEGA GAY.) and the ending they made the strictly lesbian badass gangster woman say, “Well I’ve never met a real man before.” and UGH. WHY. I would have given it 5 stars if they had just left Pussy Galore’s lesbian nature alone and not justify it with a “She just needs a strong man.” Also I apparently bought this book for me for Christmas 2015 ahah. 

27. The Mad Kings & Queens, History’s Most Famous Raving Royals: 4/5 stars. I enjoyed this book. It’s marketed as a reference book and it discussed the insane breeding of The Kings and Queens of Europe. This book should really be called, “Inbreeding fucked me up.” because most of the insane issues came from inbreeding lines and madness from parents and grandparents being passed down to their kiddos. But there were several monarchs where I didn’t believe they fit underneath the “mad” title. Like King Henry VIII was just a pissbaby. And there a handful of monarchs included who just had severe depression and anxiety which affected the way they ruled, it doesn’t mean they’re mad. Other than that, it’s a great little book for a quick overview of Europe’s fucked up royalty. 

28. Strike Through The Mask! 2/5 stars. It’s not my favorite poetry book, it had some poems I enjoyed! I bought this from the annual library book sale because it was signed by the author and was super cheap. Though after learning about Peter Viereck, I’m not really sure what I think about him? He’s super conservative and is VERY loud about people being extremist but is sort of seen as an extremist himself. Nothing wrong with that inherently but I’m still not super sure about these poems. A lot of them were about trees talking to humans or other trees. Debating on giving them poetry book to donations because it’s really not my favorite. 

29. For the King: 2/5 stars. The premise of the book is quite interesting! It follows the assassin attack on Napoleon in 1800 on Christmas at Midnight. It cause da wave of destruction, death, horror, and a huge police investigation which resulted in more death and conspiracy. The book did not live up the potential. It kept my interest and it had some great writing, but the characters were flat, the main character was whinny, and the plot was a little jumbled. It was also strange because it’s a historical fiction but also murder mystery but you know who did it by chapter 1 and you follow the policeman’s thoughts and instincts to capture the assassins. It’s weird, there were a lot of strangely written sentences, and it was over all a just ok read.

30. The Old Man and the Sea: 2.5/5 stars. There is a lot to enjoy about The Old Man and The Sea. The story is compelling, the relationship between the old man and the boy is pleasant, and Hemingway has a way of using metaphors and descriptions which are breathtakingly beautiful. But there is also a lot to be disappointed in. It’s a lot of rambling, several sentences could have been edited, and the old man was pretty much senile in the way that he fishes. I read it in one day and still processing it. I’m pretty sure there are a few pages that I didn’t really read, I fell asleep the first 60 pages, and the story doesn’t truly touch me in the way classics usually do. But there is also something oddly charming which makes rating this book more difficult than I thought.

31. The Lost Estate: 5/5 stars. This book has been on my shelf for awhile. I bought it because you can design your own cover once you finish the book, so I bought it not expecting the story to be great but at least I can art a book. This is one of the best reads I’ve read in several months! I loved the story! I loved the characters! It felt like a fantastical children’s story with romance, magic, and French school boys. The chapters were short and the main character has such a charm. The only downside is that the story has a weird time lapse where you’re not really sure how old the kids are or how many years have passed. All in all, I’m really thrilled with this book and it’s easily going on my favorite shelf after I draw the cover!

32. Lunch Poems: 4/5 stars. Frank O’Hara’s poetry isn’t like your classical poetry. He’s irreverant which makes reading his stanzas refreshing and different. There were some poems where they were too strange and convoluted for my taste, ones I wished I could be heard out loud, and there wasn’t anything that punched me in the chest with wowing words, but it did inspire me to write my own poem. And for me, that’s the highest compliment of a poetry book, to make you write poems. I really enjoyed 14 of the poems which is a pretty decent amount to like for me. Billy Collins has the highest likes of poetry for me, and Lang Leav having the least amount of poetry I liked in her book Love & Misadventure. Frank O’Hara was a decent medium for me and a nice introduction for anyone who doesn’t particularly care for “flowery” poetry. My favorites were: Cambridge, Poem (1959), How To Get There, Pistachio Tree At Chateau Noir, and Yesterday Down At The Canal. 

33. Howl And Other Poems: 6/5 stars. Very rarely do I hold a book to my chest after I finish reading it. The books I remember doing this were The Secret Garden, Shadow of the Wind, Pride and Prejudice, and Howl’s Moving Castle. I can add Howl to my list. I first heard of this revolutionary poetry book in one of my university classes about censorship and banned films and literature. We watched the James Franco movie about the whole trial over Howl, and I thought it was pretty, but I didn’t feel a great pull to the way he read the poems. I decided to pick it up for myself and I read it today all the way through. And reading it for myself was something magical and far more touching than the movie could ever produce. All of the poems were a punch to the gut, made me feel something, made me want to create art, and that’s what poetry is supposed to do for you. I may have found my second favorite poet in Allen Ginsberg. This is definitely on my favorite 2017 reads and also in my top 10 favorite books of all time. 

34. Monstress Vol 2: 4.5/5 stars. I agree with the main consensus that the second volume is way better than the first. I actually contemplated getting rid of and stop reading the series because the first volume was very bizarre. But now I’m super invested in it. The story line unfolded in an interesting and made more sense way. The art was gorgeous and dark. THERE WERE SO MANY BADASS WOMEN CHARACTERS. Plus I finally caught on that the cats are called Nekomancer and I’m in love. If you like dark, blood, gore, and creepy storylines, Monstress is a great comic to read. 

35. Furious Love: Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, and the Marriage of the Century. 5/5 stars. I picked this book up back in 2011. I was browsing Barnes and Noble, looking at their new arrival table. I was in 10th grade, newly in high school, and I had watched the movie Cleopatra in my western civilization class. I loved the writing, bought the book, I remember my mom saying “If I had known who the book was about, I wouldn’t have let you bought it.” and I was enjoying myself. Things happened shortly after that had me pausing from reading the book for 6 years. I decided to try to read it over the summer, had summer school, then my beginning of the semester was too crazy to read this book, and after I dropped from one of my classes, I found I had time to read it. I really loved this book. It’s heart wrenching, you feel the love they had for each other, but you also saw the abuse and tragedy that became their relationship. There are only two notes of importance I would say that is this book’s downfall: 1. The book has minor editorial flaws (commas outside of quotes, periods in parenthesis, Earth wasn’t capitalized). 2. The writers are very much infatuated with Richard and Elizabeth, coming to their defense about the scathing reviews. They did a great job, but it also brings into question just how accurate they can be when they’re so emotionally charged about Richard and Elizabeth. If you want to know more about Richard and Elizabeth, how they came to be, their marriage, and how the marriage fell, this is a great book. 

36 + 37: Maus I & II. 5/5 stars. I’ve been wanting to read this collection for years. It has everything I love, history, contrasting colors, and comics. But whenever I found the books, they were full priced and too much for my wallet. Well, a few weeks ago I found the boxset at my local second hand store for 22 bucks. I snatched it. I read the first book on the 29th and the second on the 30th. This, is a heavy story. It’s gut wrenching, it hurts, I nearly cried in book 2, and it’s a poignant story about surviving, the effects of surviving horrible situations, and how it affects your children. The art is beautiful, very symbolic, and doesn't hold back from showing the ugly of WWII. If you want a heavy read to make you think about history and humanity, 100% recommend this comic series.

38. Uncle Remus and Brer Rabbit: 4/5 stars. A classic fairy tale book that I read because one of my friends had it on her shelf and I wanted to read it. It’s very cute, very Peter Rabbit esq. but with more danger and violence to it. It’s not my favorite collection, I didn’t get the warm fuzzies from it, but I did fly through the stories. Though my book is so old that it doesn’t have a publication date and I’m slightly terrified that if it’s from the victorian era that it’s laced with arsenic to make the blue color ahah! But it was cute. A very short fairytale that is chalked full of mythologies of forest creatures and how their distinctive features came to be. 

39. Sword of Destiny (Witcher 1, but technically 2) 5/5 stars.  I’ve been reading this book since the end of October. I don’t know why, but short story compilation books always take me months to read while James Bond takes me 3 days. I think it’s to do with the pacing and the fact the stories tend to be more condensed and I need to think about a book for at least a day before starting a new one. I really enjoyed this book! Having played the games and adored them, I love the character building and foundations in this book! Baby Ciri warms my heart and I fucking called who her parents were in the prologue which I just realized I actually read this year. Much better than “The Last Wish,” and the angsty Yennefer romance just makes the book with its angst and Geralt just hating everything about his life except for Ciri and Yen. 

40. Bing Love: 3/5 stars. I saw a GoFundMe post for this comic book earlier this year and the art is adorable, the plot line got me, and I was so excited to get my copy of this book! I’m torn because on one hand, I love representation and the love story between Hazel and Mari, and the fact the writer took an approach that people had to settle for a fake happiness and how families can be torn apart when you realize they were built on a facade. But there’s a huge pacing problem with this story. It jumps, it skips details, I know this story would have been so much more vibrant with even 20 more pages added to it. Limiting it to 97 pages really killed the vibe of the story. The character development was lackluster, their reactions became unbelievable, and the ending felt so rushed. I would honestly probably give this story 2 stars if it weren’t for the art work making up for where the story lacks. 

41. Call Me By Your Name: 5/5 stars. @haremshame for those who don’t know, was my very first, serious love. They’ve been loving Call Me By Your Name and essentially has become the spokesperson on tumblr for the book. They told me to give this book a listen to (which is something I do not do on the regular), gave me a link, and but I was in the middle of the semester. I think maybe more than a week ago I finally started listening to it, how could I not when your first love tells you the story reminds them of us??? And I have to whole heartedly agree. Call Me By Your Name reminds me very much of the excitement of a first love and the everlasting long heart ache that comes when that first love inevitably ends. I loved this story. I wish I picked up the book and read along with Armie Hammer so I could mark all the passages I loved because there were quotations that made me shiver and hum and felt a literal twist in the gut. I’m not entirely sure how this book will go as an experience for other people since I went in to this reading with heavy expectations and knowing it would remind me of Percy and the specialness of our fumbly, young and naive teenage relationship, makes me heavily biased. But the writing is breathtaking, Armie Hammer does a fantastic job, and the story will have you aching in some form or another.

EU BANKS COLLAPSING!!! Bitcoin, Defi, ETH Undervalued (Still)

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

And we’re alive. Yes. Welcome to another episode of Good Morning Crypt, the here on an Ivan Ontake. We are, of course, broadcasting live straight out of Stockholm, Sweden. And we do this show each and every day at 8 a.m. Central European Time as I come to like an atomic location every day. Look, we have so much to discuss. We have EU banking space really crumbling, really, really crumbling. And it does a lot to do, a lot to fix. And look, at the end of the day, we might see a bank run and we might see the whole system really, really collapsing. That is the Worst-Case scenario. And we’re going to look at some very important data that is new data that we have. This article basically saying that eight European banks prepared for a crisis, but not this one. And this is from New York Times. So, look, we have been preparing in the EU, but of the magnitude of what’s going on right now is simply not comparable to anything that we have drilled for. Because this is not the drill, guys. This is absolutely not a drill. But to be honest with you, you know, what’s funny is that this current situation is not even the biggest issue. It’s not even the biggest threat to banking worldwide. It is crypto. And it’s not only Bitcoin. We will have a flip inning soon in the world of finance where stable coins will be used more than normal dollars. You know why? Because you can get interest. You can free to transact however you want is frictionless. And we’ll read important reports about this situation as well, that many people aren’t even cashing out their stable coins anymore. They’re being fui. They’re being fully integrated into crypto and they’re being fully stocked encrypt and stuck by their own wish. They’re stuck because crypto is so good. So I don’t want to pull out their stable coins, as we’ll see today in the research and in the numbers. So, guys, there’s going to be the first stoppage. The second topic is actually going to be about undervaluation, because I want to show to some unchained statistics on chained data to today. But we’ll be looking at Glass A.. And we will be checking a specific metric, gold M V or V. So I will teach you about this metric that basically shows undervaluation or overvaluation in coins. I will explain to you how this metric works and why it’s important to know and to use together with other. Together with other indicators, of course. But this one is big. So if you don’t know M V are V and how to use it in EIF, how to use it in bitcoin. Stay tuned because it’s own chain. It’s very important data that you and I need to know and that you will understand why even today, even today eith is undervalued. According to this metric and why you always should follow it. Because when it turns overvalued, that’s when you also can use it as a signal in your strategies. So definitely keep that in mind. So that’s going to be the second topic. And then finally, I guess I want to discuss freedoms. I want to discuss freedoms because freedoms are being taken away from us in so many different ways and on so many different levels right now. And the reason is because people are scared. Whenever people are scared, they give away all freedoms. And today, I will be showing to example from our country, from Sweden, where the government basically wants to have this insane law that will give them all all kinds of power. For example, they can shut down whatever business they want or they can probably also tell a business exactly what they should do. Obviously, they’re mostly talking about like private hospitals and private health companies. And within that area to try to combat the virus. But look, this is so dangerous. And that is why I feel that this meme you saw amazing that, hey, you have these founding fathers basically creating the basis of the United States of America, creating the fundamental the fundamental core values. But then, you know, just to be clear, none of this matters. None of this applies if there is a virus that is still fighting. And that is exactly true. I mean, all of our freedoms basically don’t apply and if there is a virus. So imagine if that was the case. If these guys get guys by just, you know, everything that we’ve written, none of this matters. If there is a virus. So keep it in mind. So that’s a lot of questions. And especially in countries like Argentina that are close to default, they’re literally defaulting right now. We will see even more power power grab from the government. It always happens and it always will happen when people are scared. So please keep that in mind. Please be aware and be on your top performance in terms of monitoring this and also the end that you might have to do some action. You might, for example, have to protect your assets because they might be confiscated. Imagine situation, for example, in Argentina, but hell, even in Sweden. Imagine you run a health care company. And now the government has probably if this law passes, which it probably will pass, they have the power to basically tell you exactly what you should do and even shut you down and take your assets. Look, it’s terrible. It’s terrible. So it’s a big. And we have to discuss. But guess that being said, welcome, everyone who is watching this live. Welcome, welcome, guys. We’re streaming live on. I’m a little dot com slash alive if you’re watching this show. Used to be I’ve already missed the whole show. I don’t know why you’re doing that, because you should go to the concession fleshlight. Subscribe. There you see read subscribe button. You should have alerts. And they both you should have notifications in telegram and they bolt, if you like, dark mold. You can even get dark mold. We do have super chats right now in our own chat where we don’t share with anyone. Look, why should we share with YouTube or someone when we have our own supercharged built in? And as you can see, it wasn’t that difficult. And so when YouTube they provide the super chat feature, in reality, they’re doing a simple feature. But charging so much, man, charging so much. And then, you know, after that, you have to pay tax. So you as a creator, basically get less than half. Less than half. So, yeah. That’s insane. That’s why more and more creators should think like we do take back control, take back their super Rennet, see and move to their own platforms. Now, guests welcome everyone who is always watching. I see group to huddle. I see shil. But I see all this. I see it, man. I see Krypto Michaelmas Day. Guys, welcome. Gabbar. A rave. The Mass. Welcome, welcome. Welcome. Jewel Vining. Michael Gulp by Ron natha Leavelle. Yeah, I see you writing something about the scroll thing. Email us E.M.S. instead of Superchunk from Bitter Group. This man is our own superjet and you know that this is the first day we have super chat and to morrow we’ll even add more feature. So when people do a superjet through will be like fireworks. I don’t know. There should be something cool. Maybe the whole screen does a backflip. There should be something amazing because we can control everything that happens on this screen, on this website where we have the Lifestream. So we will really, really do that when you do a superjet. Man, your brain will basically just while you will see all of these things happening. We’ll see. We’ll see. Guys, I’m pumped. As you can see, I’m pumped. So I’m looking at the news. We do have some sad news embittered by the very seriousness where seeing of seriousness. We do have Johnson, the prime minister of Great Britain, right now in intensive care unit for the illness. You know, the global virus. And it look it serious. It’s not a joke. And he was one of the people who really underplayed the whole situation. And many people. I mean, even before I got the information from my mom, who works in the hospital here in Sweden about how severe it is, it was difficult to understand, like the severe illness of this issue, because just a month ago, most of us didn’t have anyone who had Corona in their in their family or in their kind of close proximity. But now you see it everywhere. Now you see it everywhere. So it’s definitely not a drill, to be honest, is definitely not a drill. So, unfortunately, Johnson, you remember he went even to hospitals where he said, hey, I shook hands with everyone. It was amazing. We had the great time. I’m not really worried about this whole virus, but unfortunately, look, nobody is too strong for this. Nobody is saved. So let’s go up to thank you for superjet spending my helicopter money. Exactly. And the previous super shot was from Peter Grewal is saying watching videos already in that Kasman. Thanks, Matt. Thanks, Matt. Appreciate it. Now, this is serious. Guess this is something that right now you cannot even underplay it like we do have this conspiracy theories sometimes claiming that it’s like for some reason five G is involved in this virus. But please, guys, come to your senses. Look at Iran. They have five G there. Absolutely not. So I just saw a lot of talk about this five g to me. Nonsense to me, nonsense. And you know, in the chat, if you agree with that or I’m not looking at bitcoin web, amazing day, you know, that we’ve pumped quite significantly yesterday. We have 3.7 percent in bitcoin. We have thirteen point four percent in for thirteen point four. So one of the most performing points today is actually eath. We have X RPI 6.9. All in all, very bullish guys. Very, very, very bullish. Looking out the top gainers. Where did you buy it for coin? In-shore bitcoin and the biggest losers today are not even a month like five losers. What is this? I see some people in the chat saying that Iran, in fact, does have 5G G. Well, there you go. There you go. Don’t underestimate 5G. And look, London real will sensor. Did you see that interview? There was this guy talking about this whole situation. He got censored. But to me, it’s still nonsense. Still nonsense. Maybe you guys can convince me. Let me know. Let me know. Now, looking in the in the markets, I’m looking at the exchanges. You know that we do have collaboration with binded and themit’s. You can trade bitcoin. If you do use X-ART, be on the by bit. You can do that plus a link, Tasos Light on and gold. You can even trade the real gold on on Femm X. And if you use the link below, you go to best crypto deals. If you are in YouTube you see like crypto deals link. You get there, you get some good starting package. So definitely do that. Go there right now. And yeah, you can long, you can short, you can use leverage up to 100x if you’re careful. Look, why does this only make sense on small time frames? And if you have good risk management and if you know what you’re doing. Otherwise, look, it’s dangerous. Of course it’s dangerous. It’s like having a camera always tell you you can have a hammer and you can hammer a nail or you can hammer your finger nail. So obviously, a hammer can be used for both things, just like this whole situation with biblethump Fenwick’s. And we do have another installment of our free webinar where we will be discussing how to stack massive amounts of SAS in this coming bull market. And who gets bull markets is here. It is already here, but it just difficult to see. And there’s going to be in a few weeks on April the twenty ninth. Go and find the link below. Just look below. You’ll see, you’ll see this webinar link. So definitely go and join straightaway. Straightaway. Now looking at the Europe guys, this is kind of the main topic. You know that Europe hasn’t really been performing well in terms of banking. And there are many issues. There are many, many issues. I think the biggest issue is the fact that we still haven’t truly recovered from 2000 and the eighth collapse. We’re still kind of trying to patch. We’re trying to patch everything that broke at that time. And look, the reason why we struggled is because the whole system is very fragile. And it’s just insane how fragile this whole system of money is. It’s the most important technology in the world. munya, by the way, money is a technology, but you understand that any minute your biggest banks in your country can fail at any minute. They can do that. You even have the government trying to come in, step in, trying to insure all of these banks who are private corporations. They’re private corporations, yet they’re too big to fail. So the government basically needs to give them free money if they fail and if they are going to fail, you know all about bailouts by now. So is this weird system that can not be here in the future? The fact that all of these companies, because they are companies, they’re handling everyone’s money and at moments notice they can mess up and then can fail and take everyone’s funds with them. Of course, the government may step in and give a bit back in the insurance, of course. But look, if you have a company that insurance is nothing. If you have a company, that insurance is absolutely nothing. So in reality, if you really look at the most important parts of society, like small business, like corporations, like not of this too big to fail corporations, but successful, successful businesses, they are most important parts in the society and their well-being is basically tied up into the banking space. So that’s very important. That’s what’s important to understand now. And we’re seeing something that we’ve never really seen before, this kind of slow down in the economy. And it’s very unprecedented. You know, in the US, we have 10 million and the unemployed, the claims it’s ever done, it’s been in decades, decades, decades and decades, the biggest ever. And obviously we’re seeing a similar thing in the EU in regards to spending. People are not really spending a lot. A lot of restaurants are closing, businesses closing, people getting fired left and right. We just hired we just hired a smart guy in our company and he was fired because he just was switching jobs and he just got fired by the new employer because they basically couldn’t hire new people. So he was going to start his. He has good skills. He has a good brain. But he also got basically fired even even before he could start. So we’re seeing it left and right. People with education, people without education fired or they’re just let go. And the government base a bit of their salary. So it’s happening left and right now. We haven’t yet seen any any import done that debt default. We haven’t even seen the bad debt yet. And yet this the system is already crumbling. But the bad debt is gonna come in a few months when, for example, the government stops paying people salaries like they do right now, at least in in Europe, it’s very common. In the US, you have more like an airdrop to all citizens. You get a few free court coins, freshly mined coins. You’re getting an airdrop in that you have a bit different system because you don’t lose your job because you’re still employed. But it just that you don’t work and the company doesn’t pay you all salary. They just pay 50 percent of your salary. You still work 40 percent and then the government comes in and base another forty two percent of your salary. So all in all, the employer. Fifty percent base you the government pays two. So you have 92 percent of your salary, but you only work 40 percent. Obviously, that’s not sustainable. That’s not going to go far, guys. It’s a few months and then that’s it. And then that’s it. What will happen when that happens? What will happen when the government stops giving people free money, free airdrop for this kind of behavior of just being home? And there look, no doubt that the. Lazy. That is nothing to do. There’s no consumption. So what are they gonna do? The companies don’t even have work for them. There is no business. So when the government removes this 42 percent of the salary that they’re right now paying in in Sweden at least, and in other EU countries, it’s very it’s very similar. It’s a very similar system in the US is different. Just airdrop in the EU is more that you’re not getting even fired, but you get the big portion of your salary paid by government. You don’t have to work. So look, when that when that stops, obviously, people will first and foremost stop consumption. They will stop consumption even more because they don’t want to lose their house. They don’t want to lose their apartment. So that is the second step in the first step. They will stop consuming. They will really, really cut down on everything. That is when the businesses will start to default on their debts. That is when the banking sector will really struggle as well, because now they just have bad debt. They don’t have good assets. You know, debt is an asset is an asset for the banks, but bad debt is just the bad debts. You don’t get anything for it. If the if the if your if the people you’re lending to, they just default. So it’s very dangerous for the banking system as a whole. The situation we’re seeing unfold now, that is the first step. The second step would be the real estate market. And you know how deep the banks are into real estate as well. So they’re going to be hit twice, two fold. Number one, people so consuming. Number two, when you cut all consumption, you’re you’re still not getting enough money from your income. Income streams. Now, you might have to sell your your real estate. You might have to sell your residency. You might have to go and the rent. You might have to go and move back to your parents. So that’s why a real estate decline is also very probable. But that’s going to come after the limit that spending. And that is when businesses again. Again, really real struggle. And that’s when banks are also going to struggle even more, because now they have bad debt. So, look, banks are under pressure anywhere on the planet that the virus has spread to, which is virtually everywhere. So banks around the globe, if you think that this is only about the EU, think twice, think twice, especially in the US. We’ve also been covering it. In the U.S., you have small banks failing already. The problem is particularly acute in Europe because most banks never really recovered from 2008 from the last financial crisis. So look at Deutsche Bank, for example, is the only who is the only one that is still top 10 global banks, but they’re plagued with meager profitability, inefficient operations and continuing costs of cleaning up all the messes. I mean, there are a lot of scandals, a lot of issues, a lot of bad debt. And most importantly, most importantly, you know, my favorite old point, my favorite pump and dump all go in. It is it is this it is Deutschebank stock that went from one hundred and fourteen all the way now to five point eight guys. This is like ninety five percent. Can somebody quickly run the calculation of how much five is out of one hundred and fourteen. Just divide five by by one hundred fourteen and you’ll see the percentage like we’ve dropped ninety five plus percent in this client in this Deutschebank coin. All right. And this is the Loescher bank stock. Of course I’m just joking jokingly comparing it 4 percent now we’re just a 4 percent left from previous value. So 96 percent decline. It’s absolutely insane. Absolutely insane. So this is just gonna continue. Deutsche Bank is the strongest player in the EU and this is kind of how the strongest player looks like because they’re still ranked the top 10 within top down globally. And the EU doesn’t have any other real successful banks. I mean, you did have some U.K. banks, but now they’re no longer in the EU. You did have as well the Credit Suisse, but that is in Switzerland, but it’s in Europe. So it’s a difference between Europe and the EU. And look, Deutschebank is the largest eurozone lender among the top 10 investment banks globally and is based on revenue. And there you also have Barclays in UK and Credit Suisse. But that is in Switzerland. So Europe as a whole has more big global banks, but in the U.S. Just have one which is concerning, which is concerning. But in one way, I hope that it will it will be continue more towards that path moving forward before we completely move out of the banking space, before we completely move to to crypto. I mean, obviously, it’s going to take time, but I don’t like that. Globally, we have this huge, huge, massive banks. And they’re too big to fail. They’re too big to fail. And nobody should be too big to fail. When you have all of these giants, it’s not good because they’re basically taking the whole economy hostage. It’s like either will fail and all of your businesses basically lose their deposits and your clients. And your citizens, but citizens are a bit more okay because the government can step in and do insurance, but business as the government doesn’t insured deposits. If you have a business and you you normally if you have a business that has some kind of revenue, you will normally have deposits over one hundred thousand euro. That is the insurance limit in the EU. In the US you have $250k but also. I mean if you have some kind of success, you survive more than one two years your business will get up to 250k in cash. I mean it’s it’s just natural. You have houses costing more than this in all kinds of countries. So yeah, it’s it’s more than likely that most businesses have more to lose than just 250. So look, this is big and we don’t want the banking space taking us all hostage because it’s basically, hey, you give us free money, you BellSouth. Otherwise, all of these guys failed. We will take them with us. And that’s why we need crypto guys. We need crypto so much. And in this episode, I also want to share with you this perspective. The reason why we’re seeing stable coins grow a lot is because more and more people are discovering that SABL guns are actually better dollars than dollars in your bank account. It’s simply look at how much you they see grew in the past 30 days by 50 percent. You see also used to see and used it to use tea waiting on the changes doubling over the last 30 days. And when we saw the sell off in the march, Yongsan that people didn’t really take out money from crypto. They just had it in stable coins. Why is it so? Well, obviously, because it’s easier to get back into crypto to trade. But most importantly, guess, this is what the boardrooms in the banks don’t talk about. This is what all of these bosses in the banks and the financial space are missing. And this is literally going to come out of nowhere and be their biggest problem very soon. Look, bad debt will not be their problem very soon is going to be this. The fact that you get higher interest rates if you have your dollars in a stable coin compared to normal dollar. So for example, Coinbase, you get one point twenty five percent on you as D.C. stable coin. And you of course have less than a tenth of a percent. If you have your dollars in Wells Fargo and look, it’s the same dollar basically is the same dollar. I mean, yes, with you as DC, you have a counterparty risk with Coinbase. But man here you have a huge counterparty risk with Wells Fargo. I mean, as I told you, they can also take the whole economy hostage if they are failing. So you have a huge counterparty risk here and you get a lot more reward in Coinbase. Now you have different lending options. You can lend and earn eight point six percent or on your UCSC with block fi in traditional finance. Nothing is comparable. It’s native to crypto. Obviously you can send money wherever you want. However you want to do whatever you want. You buy and sell crypto. You trade, you invest it. It’s way easier and way more smooth easily to convert it quickly to convert. You can hold UCSC on the sidelines and convert back to crypto money at any time. Is this are the big fundamentals on the why? On why? Ryan in this article speculates that Coinbase will flip to Wells Fargo. You know, we talk about the flippity that, for example, people sometimes speak about a theorem flipping that if it’s going to flip Bitcoin and be number one crypto or we’ll talk about that bitcoin S.V. might flip bitcoin cash and be more thwart more than bitcoin cash. Look, this is the most important flipping thing that all of this crypto banks, crypto exchanges such as Coinbase, because they have this newest infrastructure, they’re fully built on U.S. infrastructure, which is crypto, which is blockchain, where they have lensink, they have high interest rates, they have all this money markets. Where does this high interest rate conwell from? Money markets in DEFI in most cases. And normal banks don’t have that far away from that far, far away from that. So that’s the biggest thing. If Coinbase gets acquired by some day, my only question is, will it be Amazon or JP Morgan is either big take or big banking does gun that try to come into crypto and then he is talking about that is gonna flip bitcoin. But yeah, I don’t really I’m not really interested when Ryan starts talking about this. You know ethe better than bitcoin topic. I don’t really care about that. This I care about this I care a lot about not. What’s important to note is that we do have other right now going wild. Speaking of stable currency. Speaking of debt deathers going absolutely wild. You know that we covered the fact that recently we saw an increase in tother market cap by $1.5 billion, which means that they printed 1.5 billion new coins, which hopefully are back. Hopefully they have, of course, people depositing into Teather and that that’s why we see new tokens being printed. So that’s hopefully why that is. But you see that many people are basically seeing that this is like the Fed her money print. Gold, but nothing like this. And at the end of the day, you should have it. This is mine. You should, of course, have this in mind that there is no audit. It’s not transparent. But it’s been like that now for years. It’s been like that for years. And I feel that if they really had big issues, structural issues, we would already see them struggling a lot. And bitfinex, they are the masters of survival. They had so many big global global failures. They got hacked in 2016, could not pay back their depositors. What did they do? Issue a token, issued a token and then paid back everyone later. Wrong. And let me know if you actually was part of that. But just it’s an example of where someone in normal company, so to speak, with failed long, long ago, but they actually saved themselves from the catastrophe. And it feels that, look, we don’t have any insight. It’s not transparent. That is why I wouldn’t have too much in other guys. The other is amazing because, look, it’s liquid is the biggest cryptocurrency on the market in terms of liquidity. You can not even argue against that. It’s biggest in volume. It’s way bigger than bitcoin is the first to two billion in Teather thirty three and bitcoin. So in many cases this is most popular and most used, most popular and most use crypto on the market right now. Whether it’s going to be like that. I think so. I think is going to be like that in the future as well, especially because they are increasing market cap a lot as well. So now is a 6.3, even when you look at market cap. Look, I think that they are going to go past REPL very soon. They’re going to be number three here very, very soon. And then probably in a year or so, they’re going to also surpass, if it’s a question of time, because obviously they can print new tethers way quicker than the price of Ethe or X or peak and go up and you know that X or people do dumping and they’re even dumping. But these guys, they can really print a lot. Now, hopefully it’s backed. When I say print, I really mean that the people are depositing. That is what I hope happens. But we don’t know. Look, maybe they’re just printing. Do an audit and just do an audit. Open up your books. Let us see. Let us see. But that is still not happening, guys. That and they had attempts at audits. Was it erson Young? Or was it BWC that tried to audit them? But then they kind of stopped working. Di, what about dice? What about Di? Di is performing quite well in terms of the system’s stability. It is performing quite well and they have recovered fully since some scenes since their Black Thursday event. You can generate DI through defo. Exactly. I mean when people deposit eith into into setpiece new DI is getting generated. Now let’s move on to the freedomto topic and I have a lot to discuss because look, you can not really look back this and say discuss in the introduction. And so can you guess remind me, is this a constitution or independence? Declaration of Independence. Let me know in the chat. Let’s do some history lessons. But this is basically founding fathers of of the US. So just like I told you, you understand that when you have both is both us or like. So it’s both Declaration of Independence and cost. OK. C is both in one. So they assembled. They really risked their lives to establish this new nation, which, by the way, has been the most successful in the past few few hundreds of years. But now it feels unfortunately like all empires, you know, are a lot of success and less like we discussed a few days ago, that you have this decline as well, because people relax, people get more expensive. They don’t work as hard. They have more and more debt. So unfortunately, that is what’s happening. But you cannot deny the success over the past 200 years. And, you know, when they did this, obviously, they meant they meant that this should hold even in bad times, even when you have a virus, nobody came in and said, hey, just to be clear, none of this matters if there is a virus. So that’s what scares me. When you look at this, for example, it’s in Swedish SABL, not spend a lot of time, but they will just show you the main things. This is happening worldwide now. They’re going to basically now try to push a law, a temporary law for three months where it’s a power grab 100 percent. The government alone without the parliament will be able to shut down meetings and the closed down infrastructure. However they want. They can shut down specific businesses however they want. They can them re read what is called you redistribute. You redistribute private health resources. So basically, if you have a private company, you work in the health industry, you might be wrecked by the government, basically. They will take your stuff and redistribute. And yes, I mean, this is an article that is very critical against this whole thing, basic saying that, look, it’s not even proportional. What’s going on? I mean, for them to do this, man, it’s not like it’s not proportional to the crisis we have. They haven’t analyzed the consequences. And they’re saying it’s gonna be for three months. But the article says that tape, three months, probably nothing’s going to change in terms of the virus. So probably it’s going to be prolonged. Look, it’s always like that they do something temporary and then they don’t remove it or they remove it. 20 years later, it’s like the tax in Sweden. You know, the highest income tax, highest income bracket. It was actually established in the 90s. And it was also just to handle the crisis, the economic crisis during the 90s. This highest brackets tax, but it just got removed. This year, it took them 30 years until they removed it 25, 30 years. So you understand that whenever something is temperament, it can be temporary for twenty five years because people get used. People get relaxed. They always gave away powers. Nobody’s even discussing that. Soon they’re gonna be there’s gonna be new. They’re gonna be new news, new big headlines. Nobody’s even going to talk about the fact that we have a power grab that happened during the crisis, because now people care about other stuff. Each and every year, there’s always new stuff to care about on the news. And so right now, it’s a big topic. But, hey, they sneak this in, who’s going to remove it? Who’s going to create the news? Who’s going to create the news? A flurry around this thing to remove it later. Nobody’s. Nobody. We’re going to care about some other stuff. Maybe it’s like a Tokyo Olympics. We’re going to care about or we’re going to care about some other crisis. It’s election. Obviously, everyone’s going to talk about the U.S. election even here, man. People care more about the tramp here in Sweden than you care about in the US. I can assure you that we follow elections step by step by step here. It’s very popular. So you understand that, hey, people are not going to talk about it in a few weeks. So if this gets passed, it’s very dangerous. You will not get it back. You think you will not get it back? Maybe in 25 years, like with the highest income tax bracket, it took 25 years for them to remove it, which was also temporary for the nineties crisis. Yemen. That is how it is. If you pay tax on land, are you really the owners say, says Zoid Salt and not really. Not really. And that is why Sweden in some cases is also a tax paradise. I mean, believe it or not, I know it sounds insane. It’s definitely not a tax practice if you are just earning your money. If you have salary, man, you are being absolutely taken advantage of with taxes. You pay all of Delek tax if you already have capital. Sweden is very good. I mean, believe it or not, it’s very good because no one basically zero capital gains, basically zero capital gains. Number two, no real estate tax, no property tax, no wealth tax, no inheritance tax. I mean, there you see the branding. And the reality is different because obviously we want rich people here. We want them to come to take their money. And then we tell the working class that we’re socialists so they don’t a revolt with we tell them, guys, we’re socialists, we’re working for you. But you pay all the taxes, by the way, by the way. So it’s not good when you’re just earning your money and you’re building capital if you already have capital. We’re open. Open arms, guys. Open arms. Come, come here. But if you’re building your capital yet, that’s where you get the most you get taken advantage of. So, yes, if you have capital gains, you know where to go. Not Panama, not Switzerland. No, Cayman Island. It’s Sweden. I mean, believe it or not, it is it is like that. Now, hopefully, they will not mess this environment up because I feel that they might like pull back, take back the property tax or something. They might destroy it because, look, it’s it might seem popular in the moment. And it’s always like that. Look, when you have crisis, people are scared. You see a lot of populism. Look at Argentina right now, basically defaulting for the ninth time. There is a saying three things in life. Are certain, number one, death that certain taxes. That’s that certain. And another one is Argentina. Default is going to happen again. And now to my understanding, this hasn’t really happened, but is basically de facto happened. But not that officially they didn’t declare bankruptcy and default officially, but they basically stop stop paying their debts. So really, what is the definition of default? So look what will happen when you see this in your country. Because when people are scared, when you see like countries defaulting and stuff, that’s when you see a lot of short term bad political decisions which might even lead to authoritarian regimes. I know it sounds a bit far fetched. Maybe it sounds a bit crazy, but they look at the Great Depression. It’s literally caused the the Germany to become what Germany became in the thirties. You all know that. And look at that documentary is how how that the power, authoritarian power grew in Germany during the thirties. They literally was eradicated almost almost before the Great Depression hit. And then you saw economic collapse in Germany as well. So, look, it’s it’s a pretty. Be ready for this. And that’s why I hope, man, if you are anywhere in. The world and you have a private hospital or a private clinic or something. I hope you have a bit of Bitcoin because like I showed you this power grab article in Sweden, the Oregon account for your assets there, they’re going to do that because now they need to seem strong. Your government interest is strong because the population demands it. And to take, you know, health resources from this greedy capitalistic Cosby, greedy capitalistic hospitals who just want profit. You want profit. Now give us all your assets. That’s what they’re gonna tell you. And you have worked 20 years. Maybe you spent nights, days. You took risks. You took a lot of investment put into your health company, a health clinic. But you’re going to be painted as greedy capitalist. If if you don’t like, give them stuff. So, look, beware. Have some bitcoin like. Just to be sure. Because the bitcoin is biscoe. You have your private key. And that’s how it is. That’s how it is. Healthcare should not be for profit, says Andrews. Well, maybe not. Look, it’s not a political channel, but if you have somebody who has already built up their company, their clinic, then you should offer him a good price too. To sell that you should. Basically, if you really want to abolish private health in your county, in your country, which might be a political decision, you should be a lot like you should really play or pay overprice to all of these guys who have private health cleanings because, look, they worked that they took risks and stuff and they built that business. So I know. Look, it’s not a political channel, but you get it. I’m just giving you a bit of insight into the fact that if you have some Bitcoin, you have your private key, you have them, you have them. There is no way to really, really, really do anything about that. So, yeah, think about that solid crypto man superjet. Amazing. The land owners will flee. They will dump their overpriced assets on the market. And the nation will stay with all the poor people and they will take their assets to survive. Yeah, I think that is a big, big possibility. Thank you, by the way, for superjet. And let me talk a bit about that, because I’ve also been thinking about it and the fact that we see Singapore, we see Switzerland. I mean, there are many of these countries that are amazing. If you have capital like Sweden is also good. Sweden is also good. But sometimes we have all kinds of this, you know, power grabs. But what you’re saying is that, look. Yes. If you are successful, you have an easier way of moving. You can move anywhere. But it also depends on which business you have. Like it might be difficult to move your business assets because you have to employ employees and you might have real estate and the factories and stuff. So at the end of the day, it might not be as easy, but it is easier than ever. Of course. Go to Singapore. Go to hell. Maybe not Hong Kong, because you know what’s going to happen during a few years. But you go Switzerland. Singapore is somewhere where you’re more welcome. So that’s that’s of course, true. Okay, guys, moving on. Moving on, moving on to next. The next situation will have A M M V are V values for eath. I just want to cover it quickly. This is basically showing you whether EIF is undervalued or overvalued and this is in any crypto you can do this analysis. So I just want to show you that right now we are at zero point eighty three. So it basically means that we are undervalued. The price of ethe is eighty three percent of kind of the fair price according to this metric. So what does this metric show? Well, basically it shows the difference between the normal market cap. You know, how we normally calculate market cap would take a number of coins times the price you get market cap. So you take that and you compare it to the so-called realized market cap because realized market cap, it doesn’t treat all coins the same way. So if you have a coin that has been lost, depravities is lost or is just a very strong hodler that’s not going to move his or her coins. That coin is not priced in the same way as a coin that recently moved because that’s recently moved coin probably will be dumped very soon. So you see a lot of trading with like this recently moved coins and not a lot of trading and not a lot of selling in particular is selling with these coins that are being not touched at all. So realize the market cap is really taking into consideration that all coins are not similar. So when we divide real normal market cap, I mean, just taking price times, number of coins and we divide divided by realize market cap where price of each coin is not the price of today that you see on the coin geko or coin pre-K. It’s not the spot price, but price of each coin is the price. When that coin last moved, when that coin last moved, you get this metric. That is M.V. r.V. And why is it useful? I mean, why would we do it? Well, you can think about it in this way. In this perspective that basically this. Is the value this real market cap. It removes all of the short term hysteria or all of the short term emotions and gives more weight to hurdlers, it gives more weight to people who are really here seriously who are really here seriously. So this is the biggest thing because we basically remove all of the, you know, folie fear of losing everything when people are just dumping or when price moves up a lot like crazy. We remove all of the formal from the calculation and we kind of are left with the reasonable fair price of bitcoin. If you just don’t look at the past craziness in the market. So this is what this metric shows. M.V. Ηarvey metric in glass NOAD and this is on Chane indicator. It basically shows that right now the real the real market cap, like the normal common market cap is just 84 percent of the fare of the fair balanced market cap, like if you remove all of the short term hysteria with sell offs. The balanced market cap, if you have a balanced view, it should be 20 percent higher in eith. So by the way, you can get all of these indicators and so many more. I mean they have hundreds of these indicators on glasnost and you can get most of them for free if you go to I went to the com slash deals and you click here, you click click your glass note on chain indicators. So I would overcome such deals. You can get that. And what else is important is this you can do the same analysis with bitcoin. So we have a bitcoin M.V. Ηarvey ratio and you see seven day moving average here. We’re already a bit above it. Here we are already a bit above it. So right now, bitcoin market cap is 1.2 compared to kind of the balance market cap. But look, when we go into the 2s and especially when I go into the forest and 3s, that is when you truly see overvaluation. So keep in mind you should use it together with other indicators. And there are different ways to look at this. I mean, you have mvr V, you have short term and long term mvr V. So if you look at, for example, at the short term mvr V. It only shows the last one hundred and fifty five days here were still undervalued. So you can experiment with it. If you look at only the past one, there’s 55 days and you see that you only you only take into consideration how and how coins moved during that time. And that is your balance market cap. You see that we’re still undervalued. So there are many different ways to look at this. So experiment try to find your own way of viewing the market. And if you look at long term, you only look at coins that are older than 1055 days, then we are already a bit overvalued because look, I find this so interesting, all of this on Chane indicators. And finally, before we go into the Q&A, I just want to show you this, how it feels exploring seemingly endless world of opportunities on the theorem. And that’s exactly how it feels like, man. Whenever I read about a new protocol or a new system or a new way of doing things with stable coins, it’s it’s so mindblowing and there’s so much to learn. I mean, I don’t even know everything. Nobody knows everything. It’s so much to learn, so much to see how derivative synthetics, stable coins, lending, interest rates, capital markets, money markets like it’s all decentralized, all in the blockchain. And literally, this is as you guys were flying over it. And then this glider is good morning, crypto, because we’re together using this show as a vehicle to fly and see this whole crypto landscape. And this is crypto like all of the mountains. It’s insane saying it’s how much we’re seeing. I’ve never seen anything like this in any industry. And we’re building it as we’re going. Now, finally before Q&A, guys, I want to talk about this, that the economy is dependent on at least half of the citizens not understanding how mining works. If ever understood the game of money, the system would break. This is so true. Why? Because then more and more people would understand the Cantillon effect. Once again, it’s all about the concealer and the fact if you don’t know what it is. Google it. I will explain to shortly. Concealer and effect is that if you have good credit score, you have good connection with the banks. You get freshly printed fiat. You get freshly printed theearth. You can push up the asset prices because you were the first to use that freshly printed fiat because it enters the circulation. You can buy up all of the assets. That is why real estate is so expensive in all countries. And look, it’s just a few people holding all of it because they are the ones with connections. If you’re a young person today, you cannot even move out of your parents house. In most cases in the Western world, not possible because of concealing an effect, because it cannot go and get freshly printed fiat. You’re not allowed. And whenever you hear that there are low interest rates removing too negative interest rates. Well, they’re not for you guys. They’re not for me, either. They’re not for us. They’re for a very exclusive club of people who can get this free money, who can get this basically chip free money and buy up assets and then invest it. Course, they invest it into assets that give them monthly cash flow and get monthly income so they can go and they can get even more of this free shipping. So it’s like a never ending circle. Please keep attention. Pay attention. Look, if more people understood it, obviously the system would not work. Then everyone would understand that it is actually rigged against you. It’s rigged against you if you do not participate in in credit like you have to have credit to participate in this and to gain advantage over this. Most people are instead taught that you should save, you know, save up your money for a rainy day. This and that. But you’re actually the loser if you do it in the current in the current fiat system, because you’re basically getting getting taken advantage of through the Cantillon effect. They dilute your value and give it to a guy who just took that chip and a chip close to zero percent loan. That basically what happens to your savings. You give it away. Guess if you save and it shouldn’t be like that. I mean, look, if you have money, you should be able to save it. I think it should be. I like saving as well, but I understand that it’s stupid in the current environment of off of you just hoarding fiat. You should save instead in ass’s. That is that is how you save in the current fiat system. You have real estate income producing you to have the stocks dividend producing. You each have some kind of thing that gives you monthly income because fiat is worthless is because worthless by the second. So that is why saving is good. Even in fiat system. But not you not saving fiat. You get to save assets. Now another of the nation from solid crypto man, our own superjet. My heart literally warms up when I see you guys using Superjet because it’s ours. We fricking built it. It still has a few bugs. Like I think some of you may be tried, didn’t work, but is gonna work better day by day. You’re gonna see how much better it will be in just a few days because we’re working on it every day. Like OK. Solid grip too. Have you read the road to Financial Freedom? Unfortunately, I haven’t. Is it good? If yes, I will write it down the road to financial freedom. Can anyone send me the link to 10-X? Guys, go and return extra-large. It’s even free on youtube. You can find it. It’s the best book I’ve ever I’ve ever like. It’s the best book. Go and read it. Right. It’s an audible. Yes, an audible. I use all the ball I use I books like Atrians thing about you can also get it for free on YouTube so you can find it to learn about money. Human 6 features of money is a must to watch this for. Yes, you are correct. Yes. Yes indeed. I cannot be sorry about the evil. A product will ave is a defi is. It’s a defi protocol. The most important feature that really distinguishes them from many others is their flash loan capability. So you know, we talk about flash long eve supports flash long. So that’s the most important. It’s all about money markets. It’s all about you having liquidity markets. So it is is doing that. Let’s see if I can find it. Is it all a. Yeah. So open source defi product. But for me, the most important thing with them is, is the flashfloods like they have a can spend 1 to 1 with underlying assets. They have res switching flash loans, of course. I think they’re gonna be big. I think they’re gonna be absolutely big. But what I don’t know. Do they have the or they don’t have their own coin or they do or is just like a union swap, like a protocol man were pumping? Or are we. Yemen? We are. I think yeah. We started this at seven point two I think. But not to get distracted. I dont think they have their own coin. I’ll document. Got it. Got it. I like. Thanks. Thanks. Eh. A way. A way. How did you do that? Eve or anyway. I think the most important feature of them is the and what really distinguishes them. It is that flash loan thing, you know that we are creating our defi to a one course and we’re gonna do practical defi in our academy aswell practical up to a practical flashfloods. We have already a lot of practical defi with defi one, the one where we teach you how to use them all defi products that are important and the old different products like you swaption tactics rad. That really a lot. A lot, a lot. A lot. We teach you how to use and how they work in our different on the one course. Go check kazimir. What I’m saying. Gabrielle, why don’t you make an episode with Amadeu Brands? Nice would be a cool Yemen. It sounds amazing. I might see. Would love that. I think he would love that. I would also love that. I think he’s even listening. Amadeu. Let me know in the chat if you’re listening. But yeah, that will be very interesting. And people love that course. People loved that course a lot that we did together with Manziel. And the next one is gonna be more about that. Maybe show you practically how to create flash loans, how to get millions of dollars in a transaction. But you have to repaid back within the same transaction if but you can use it in arbitration, so and so forth. Even if if you want to help local business with DEFI, what would you should suggest some sort of crypto along? Well, for now you don’t really. I mean you can get. You can not. Get the money out of thin air. You need to have collateral. So, yeah, that’s that that’s not really applique applicable if your business is struggling. So does the only thing we need. Andrew collateralized loans and they are coming. But for now we only have over collateralized loans. I guess I want to remind you if you haven’t. Go to our webinar. You’ll find the link below. So go and check it. Right now we’re talking about how to stack massive amounts of SATs. Absolutely massive during the bull market. And it’s a free webinar. So you don’t you don’t need to pay anything. And join us if you haven’t been in the webinar before. And if you’re not in that chasm yet, go and join this to date. And we’re going to do it on April the twenty ninth. So go enjoy to today is if the company just accepts crypto, it can help them. Well, yes, you can get the the interest rates from Defi. That’s true. That’s true. But they still gonna be life changing like overnight. It’s not gonna be this emergency loan that many businesses need right now. They need emergency loans. Ivan, I heard many top public companies are doing are going private. And all that will be left is penny stock companies. How will this affect stock and crypto markets? To be honest with you, I haven’t really seen that. Why? Why would they? Let’s see it. Let’s see it. Corporations going private. I haven’t really seen anything about that. Why are you saying that? Maybe you can link. Because I haven’t I haven’t really seen that. I don’t really think it’s in their interest, to be honest. Why would it be? Why would it be? It would be difficult for them to issue new. I mean, maybe for fi. I don’t know. Let me know. I need to think more about it. Heard it from Max Kaiser show. Oh, wow. Yeah. Okay. I will check. I like Max Keiser. He talks about continue in effect a lot. Shill, both shill. But bannings. I agree. But when we reach the peak of bull market, you can use that money to invest in something else. Oh, you mean the Alexander is talking about the bull and be embarass cycles? Lots of companies are doing pride because of over. Oh, yeah. That makes sense. That makes sense. They will do a token maybe. I don’t know. Look at Bynum’s BMB. Don’t even have to follow regulation. I don’t know what’s going to happen, guys to be on B. I have B and B because I think violence is doing a great job. But it’s just like men. They’re burning tokens based on revenue. How is that not a security? But I like that it’s not a security. Maybe it will be a security. It’s not class like. They’re not getting in trouble for it. I don’t know really how how how that works. I mean, why. A lot of other companies and alot of other players like it block when they are in trouble. But Bynum’s isn’t it? I mean that’s fascinating. And look, it’s good like the fact that you have all the securities regulation is actually quite restricting. Like how else would you get that piece of balance. Success. Impossible, impossible with their coin. Anyone can do it as long. But of course there is a trust element. You need to trust that they will keep bringing the supply based on them, based on their profits, and also that you can use the coin to get lower fees and all of that. Okay. Yes, I think that’s it for today. Thank you so much for being here yet again. I really, really appreciate that you. Thank you. Especially all of you who tried the superjet. It truly warms my heart that we can do this better testing. And it’s amazing. And look, you’re gonna be amazed how how much better it will be, because now we just have like a basic thing. We have to input fields like for the text and for the number. But there’s gotta be way prettier. He’s gonna be like fireworks. I told you. But we have a few more bugs to fix. So maybe like in a week we’ll see if we’re working each and every day. So it’s gonna work out even smoother, even smoother. So, guys, thank you so much. So thank you so much for being here. If you are on YouTube, go to the dot com slash live N8 being sheltered to N8 for doing timestamps. Thanks so much for sending in big shout to Gabbar for working like crazy to make super chat’s happen without Gabbar looking super just would not work. So thank you so much and I’ll see you all very, very soon. Goodbye. Goodbye. Kiss goodbye. Goodbye.

EU BANKS COLLAPSING!!! Bitcoin, Defi, ETH Undervalued (Still)

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

And we’re alive. Yes. Welcome to another episode of Good Morning Crypt, the here on an Ivan Ontake. We are, of course, broadcasting live straight out of Stockholm, Sweden. And we do this show each and every day at 8 a.m. Central European Time as I come to like an atomic location every day. Look, we have so much to discuss. We have EU banking space really crumbling, really, really crumbling. And it does a lot to do, a lot to fix. And look, at the end of the day, we might see a bank run and we might see the whole system really, really collapsing. That is the Worst-Case scenario. And we’re going to look at some very important data that is new data that we have. This article basically saying that eight European banks prepared for a crisis, but not this one. And this is from New York Times. So, look, we have been preparing in the EU, but of the magnitude of what’s going on right now is simply not comparable to anything that we have drilled for. Because this is not the drill, guys. This is absolutely not a drill. But to be honest with you, you know, what’s funny is that this current situation is not even the biggest issue. It’s not even the biggest threat to banking worldwide. It is crypto. And it’s not only Bitcoin. We will have a flip inning soon in the world of finance where stable coins will be used more than normal dollars. You know why? Because you can get interest. You can free to transact however you want is frictionless. And we’ll read important reports about this situation as well, that many people aren’t even cashing out their stable coins anymore. They’re being fui. They’re being fully integrated into crypto and they’re being fully stocked encrypt and stuck by their own wish. They’re stuck because crypto is so good. So I don’t want to pull out their stable coins, as we’ll see today in the research and in the numbers. So, guys, there’s going to be the first stoppage. The second topic is actually going to be about undervaluation, because I want to show to some unchained statistics on chained data to today. But we’ll be looking at Glass A.. And we will be checking a specific metric, gold M V or V. So I will teach you about this metric that basically shows undervaluation or overvaluation in coins. I will explain to you how this metric works and why it’s important to know and to use together with other. Together with other indicators, of course. But this one is big. So if you don’t know M V are V and how to use it in EIF, how to use it in bitcoin. Stay tuned because it’s own chain. It’s very important data that you and I need to know and that you will understand why even today, even today eith is undervalued. According to this metric and why you always should follow it. Because when it turns overvalued, that’s when you also can use it as a signal in your strategies. So definitely keep that in mind. So that’s going to be the second topic. And then finally, I guess I want to discuss freedoms. I want to discuss freedoms because freedoms are being taken away from us in so many different ways and on so many different levels right now. And the reason is because people are scared. Whenever people are scared, they give away all freedoms. And today, I will be showing to example from our country, from Sweden, where the government basically wants to have this insane law that will give them all all kinds of power. For example, they can shut down whatever business they want or they can probably also tell a business exactly what they should do. Obviously, they’re mostly talking about like private hospitals and private health companies. And within that area to try to combat the virus. But look, this is so dangerous. And that is why I feel that this meme you saw amazing that, hey, you have these founding fathers basically creating the basis of the United States of America, creating the fundamental the fundamental core values. But then, you know, just to be clear, none of this matters. None of this applies if there is a virus that is still fighting. And that is exactly true. I mean, all of our freedoms basically don’t apply and if there is a virus. So imagine if that was the case. If these guys get guys by just, you know, everything that we’ve written, none of this matters. If there is a virus. So keep it in mind. So that’s a lot of questions. And especially in countries like Argentina that are close to default, they’re literally defaulting right now. We will see even more power power grab from the government. It always happens and it always will happen when people are scared. So please keep that in mind. Please be aware and be on your top performance in terms of monitoring this and also the end that you might have to do some action. You might, for example, have to protect your assets because they might be confiscated. Imagine situation, for example, in Argentina, but hell, even in Sweden. Imagine you run a health care company. And now the government has probably if this law passes, which it probably will pass, they have the power to basically tell you exactly what you should do and even shut you down and take your assets. Look, it’s terrible. It’s terrible. So it’s a big. And we have to discuss. But guess that being said, welcome, everyone who is watching this live. Welcome, welcome, guys. We’re streaming live on. I’m a little dot com slash alive if you’re watching this show. Used to be I’ve already missed the whole show. I don’t know why you’re doing that, because you should go to the concession fleshlight. Subscribe. There you see read subscribe button. You should have alerts. And they both you should have notifications in telegram and they bolt, if you like, dark mold. You can even get dark mold. We do have super chats right now in our own chat where we don’t share with anyone. Look, why should we share with YouTube or someone when we have our own supercharged built in? And as you can see, it wasn’t that difficult. And so when YouTube they provide the super chat feature, in reality, they’re doing a simple feature. But charging so much, man, charging so much. And then, you know, after that, you have to pay tax. So you as a creator, basically get less than half. Less than half. So, yeah. That’s insane. That’s why more and more creators should think like we do take back control, take back their super Rennet, see and move to their own platforms. Now, guests welcome everyone who is always watching. I see group to huddle. I see shil. But I see all this. I see it, man. I see Krypto Michaelmas Day. Guys, welcome. Gabbar. A rave. The Mass. Welcome, welcome. Welcome. Jewel Vining. Michael Gulp by Ron natha Leavelle. Yeah, I see you writing something about the scroll thing. Email us E.M.S. instead of Superchunk from Bitter Group. This man is our own superjet and you know that this is the first day we have super chat and to morrow we’ll even add more feature. So when people do a superjet through will be like fireworks. I don’t know. There should be something cool. Maybe the whole screen does a backflip. There should be something amazing because we can control everything that happens on this screen, on this website where we have the Lifestream. So we will really, really do that when you do a superjet. Man, your brain will basically just while you will see all of these things happening. We’ll see. We’ll see. Guys, I’m pumped. As you can see, I’m pumped. So I’m looking at the news. We do have some sad news embittered by the very seriousness where seeing of seriousness. We do have Johnson, the prime minister of Great Britain, right now in intensive care unit for the illness. You know, the global virus. And it look it serious. It’s not a joke. And he was one of the people who really underplayed the whole situation. And many people. I mean, even before I got the information from my mom, who works in the hospital here in Sweden about how severe it is, it was difficult to understand, like the severe illness of this issue, because just a month ago, most of us didn’t have anyone who had Corona in their in their family or in their kind of close proximity. But now you see it everywhere. Now you see it everywhere. So it’s definitely not a drill, to be honest, is definitely not a drill. So, unfortunately, Johnson, you remember he went even to hospitals where he said, hey, I shook hands with everyone. It was amazing. We had the great time. I’m not really worried about this whole virus, but unfortunately, look, nobody is too strong for this. Nobody is saved. So let’s go up to thank you for superjet spending my helicopter money. Exactly. And the previous super shot was from Peter Grewal is saying watching videos already in that Kasman. Thanks, Matt. Thanks, Matt. Appreciate it. Now, this is serious. Guess this is something that right now you cannot even underplay it like we do have this conspiracy theories sometimes claiming that it’s like for some reason five G is involved in this virus. But please, guys, come to your senses. Look at Iran. They have five G there. Absolutely not. So I just saw a lot of talk about this five g to me. Nonsense to me, nonsense. And you know, in the chat, if you agree with that or I’m not looking at bitcoin web, amazing day, you know, that we’ve pumped quite significantly yesterday. We have 3.7 percent in bitcoin. We have thirteen point four percent in for thirteen point four. So one of the most performing points today is actually eath. We have X RPI 6.9. All in all, very bullish guys. Very, very, very bullish. Looking out the top gainers. Where did you buy it for coin? In-shore bitcoin and the biggest losers today are not even a month like five losers. What is this? I see some people in the chat saying that Iran, in fact, does have 5G G. Well, there you go. There you go. Don’t underestimate 5G. And look, London real will sensor. Did you see that interview? There was this guy talking about this whole situation. He got censored. But to me, it’s still nonsense. Still nonsense. Maybe you guys can convince me. Let me know. Let me know. Now, looking in the in the markets, I’m looking at the exchanges. You know that we do have collaboration with binded and themit’s. You can trade bitcoin. If you do use X-ART, be on the by bit. You can do that plus a link, Tasos Light on and gold. You can even trade the real gold on on Femm X. And if you use the link below, you go to best crypto deals. If you are in YouTube you see like crypto deals link. You get there, you get some good starting package. So definitely do that. Go there right now. And yeah, you can long, you can short, you can use leverage up to 100x if you’re careful. Look, why does this only make sense on small time frames? And if you have good risk management and if you know what you’re doing. Otherwise, look, it’s dangerous. Of course it’s dangerous. It’s like having a camera always tell you you can have a hammer and you can hammer a nail or you can hammer your finger nail. So obviously, a hammer can be used for both things, just like this whole situation with biblethump Fenwick’s. And we do have another installment of our free webinar where we will be discussing how to stack massive amounts of SAS in this coming bull market. And who gets bull markets is here. It is already here, but it just difficult to see. And there’s going to be in a few weeks on April the twenty ninth. Go and find the link below. Just look below. You’ll see, you’ll see this webinar link. So definitely go and join straightaway. Straightaway. Now looking at the Europe guys, this is kind of the main topic. You know that Europe hasn’t really been performing well in terms of banking. And there are many issues. There are many, many issues. I think the biggest issue is the fact that we still haven’t truly recovered from 2000 and the eighth collapse. We’re still kind of trying to patch. We’re trying to patch everything that broke at that time. And look, the reason why we struggled is because the whole system is very fragile. And it’s just insane how fragile this whole system of money is. It’s the most important technology in the world. munya, by the way, money is a technology, but you understand that any minute your biggest banks in your country can fail at any minute. They can do that. You even have the government trying to come in, step in, trying to insure all of these banks who are private corporations. They’re private corporations, yet they’re too big to fail. So the government basically needs to give them free money if they fail and if they are going to fail, you know all about bailouts by now. So is this weird system that can not be here in the future? The fact that all of these companies, because they are companies, they’re handling everyone’s money and at moments notice they can mess up and then can fail and take everyone’s funds with them. Of course, the government may step in and give a bit back in the insurance, of course. But look, if you have a company that insurance is nothing. If you have a company, that insurance is absolutely nothing. So in reality, if you really look at the most important parts of society, like small business, like corporations, like not of this too big to fail corporations, but successful, successful businesses, they are most important parts in the society and their well-being is basically tied up into the banking space. So that’s very important. That’s what’s important to understand now. And we’re seeing something that we’ve never really seen before, this kind of slow down in the economy. And it’s very unprecedented. You know, in the US, we have 10 million and the unemployed, the claims it’s ever done, it’s been in decades, decades, decades and decades, the biggest ever. And obviously we’re seeing a similar thing in the EU in regards to spending. People are not really spending a lot. A lot of restaurants are closing, businesses closing, people getting fired left and right. We just hired we just hired a smart guy in our company and he was fired because he just was switching jobs and he just got fired by the new employer because they basically couldn’t hire new people. So he was going to start his. He has good skills. He has a good brain. But he also got basically fired even even before he could start. So we’re seeing it left and right. People with education, people without education fired or they’re just let go. And the government base a bit of their salary. So it’s happening left and right now. We haven’t yet seen any any import done that debt default. We haven’t even seen the bad debt yet. And yet this the system is already crumbling. But the bad debt is gonna come in a few months when, for example, the government stops paying people salaries like they do right now, at least in in Europe, it’s very common. In the US, you have more like an airdrop to all citizens. You get a few free court coins, freshly mined coins. You’re getting an airdrop in that you have a bit different system because you don’t lose your job because you’re still employed. But it just that you don’t work and the company doesn’t pay you all salary. They just pay 50 percent of your salary. You still work 40 percent and then the government comes in and base another forty two percent of your salary. So all in all, the employer. Fifty percent base you the government pays two. So you have 92 percent of your salary, but you only work 40 percent. Obviously, that’s not sustainable. That’s not going to go far, guys. It’s a few months and then that’s it. And then that’s it. What will happen when that happens? What will happen when the government stops giving people free money, free airdrop for this kind of behavior of just being home? And there look, no doubt that the. Lazy. That is nothing to do. There’s no consumption. So what are they gonna do? The companies don’t even have work for them. There is no business. So when the government removes this 42 percent of the salary that they’re right now paying in in Sweden at least, and in other EU countries, it’s very it’s very similar. It’s a very similar system in the US is different. Just airdrop in the EU is more that you’re not getting even fired, but you get the big portion of your salary paid by government. You don’t have to work. So look, when that when that stops, obviously, people will first and foremost stop consumption. They will stop consumption even more because they don’t want to lose their house. They don’t want to lose their apartment. So that is the second step in the first step. They will stop consuming. They will really, really cut down on everything. That is when the businesses will start to default on their debts. That is when the banking sector will really struggle as well, because now they just have bad debt. They don’t have good assets. You know, debt is an asset is an asset for the banks, but bad debt is just the bad debts. You don’t get anything for it. If the if the if your if the people you’re lending to, they just default. So it’s very dangerous for the banking system as a whole. The situation we’re seeing unfold now, that is the first step. The second step would be the real estate market. And you know how deep the banks are into real estate as well. So they’re going to be hit twice, two fold. Number one, people so consuming. Number two, when you cut all consumption, you’re you’re still not getting enough money from your income. Income streams. Now, you might have to sell your your real estate. You might have to sell your residency. You might have to go and the rent. You might have to go and move back to your parents. So that’s why a real estate decline is also very probable. But that’s going to come after the limit that spending. And that is when businesses again. Again, really real struggle. And that’s when banks are also going to struggle even more, because now they have bad debt. So, look, banks are under pressure anywhere on the planet that the virus has spread to, which is virtually everywhere. So banks around the globe, if you think that this is only about the EU, think twice, think twice, especially in the US. We’ve also been covering it. In the U.S., you have small banks failing already. The problem is particularly acute in Europe because most banks never really recovered from 2008 from the last financial crisis. So look at Deutsche Bank, for example, is the only who is the only one that is still top 10 global banks, but they’re plagued with meager profitability, inefficient operations and continuing costs of cleaning up all the messes. I mean, there are a lot of scandals, a lot of issues, a lot of bad debt. And most importantly, most importantly, you know, my favorite old point, my favorite pump and dump all go in. It is it is this it is Deutschebank stock that went from one hundred and fourteen all the way now to five point eight guys. This is like ninety five percent. Can somebody quickly run the calculation of how much five is out of one hundred and fourteen. Just divide five by by one hundred fourteen and you’ll see the percentage like we’ve dropped ninety five plus percent in this client in this Deutschebank coin. All right. And this is the Loescher bank stock. Of course I’m just joking jokingly comparing it 4 percent now we’re just a 4 percent left from previous value. So 96 percent decline. It’s absolutely insane. Absolutely insane. So this is just gonna continue. Deutsche Bank is the strongest player in the EU and this is kind of how the strongest player looks like because they’re still ranked the top 10 within top down globally. And the EU doesn’t have any other real successful banks. I mean, you did have some U.K. banks, but now they’re no longer in the EU. You did have as well the Credit Suisse, but that is in Switzerland, but it’s in Europe. So it’s a difference between Europe and the EU. And look, Deutschebank is the largest eurozone lender among the top 10 investment banks globally and is based on revenue. And there you also have Barclays in UK and Credit Suisse. But that is in Switzerland. So Europe as a whole has more big global banks, but in the U.S. Just have one which is concerning, which is concerning. But in one way, I hope that it will it will be continue more towards that path moving forward before we completely move out of the banking space, before we completely move to to crypto. I mean, obviously, it’s going to take time, but I don’t like that. Globally, we have this huge, huge, massive banks. And they’re too big to fail. They’re too big to fail. And nobody should be too big to fail. When you have all of these giants, it’s not good because they’re basically taking the whole economy hostage. It’s like either will fail and all of your businesses basically lose their deposits and your clients. And your citizens, but citizens are a bit more okay because the government can step in and do insurance, but business as the government doesn’t insured deposits. If you have a business and you you normally if you have a business that has some kind of revenue, you will normally have deposits over one hundred thousand euro. That is the insurance limit in the EU. In the US you have $250k but also. I mean if you have some kind of success, you survive more than one two years your business will get up to 250k in cash. I mean it’s it’s just natural. You have houses costing more than this in all kinds of countries. So yeah, it’s it’s more than likely that most businesses have more to lose than just 250. So look, this is big and we don’t want the banking space taking us all hostage because it’s basically, hey, you give us free money, you BellSouth. Otherwise, all of these guys failed. We will take them with us. And that’s why we need crypto guys. We need crypto so much. And in this episode, I also want to share with you this perspective. The reason why we’re seeing stable coins grow a lot is because more and more people are discovering that SABL guns are actually better dollars than dollars in your bank account. It’s simply look at how much you they see grew in the past 30 days by 50 percent. You see also used to see and used it to use tea waiting on the changes doubling over the last 30 days. And when we saw the sell off in the march, Yongsan that people didn’t really take out money from crypto. They just had it in stable coins. Why is it so? Well, obviously, because it’s easier to get back into crypto to trade. But most importantly, guess, this is what the boardrooms in the banks don’t talk about. This is what all of these bosses in the banks and the financial space are missing. And this is literally going to come out of nowhere and be their biggest problem very soon. Look, bad debt will not be their problem very soon is going to be this. The fact that you get higher interest rates if you have your dollars in a stable coin compared to normal dollar. So for example, Coinbase, you get one point twenty five percent on you as D.C. stable coin. And you of course have less than a tenth of a percent. If you have your dollars in Wells Fargo and look, it’s the same dollar basically is the same dollar. I mean, yes, with you as DC, you have a counterparty risk with Coinbase. But man here you have a huge counterparty risk with Wells Fargo. I mean, as I told you, they can also take the whole economy hostage if they are failing. So you have a huge counterparty risk here and you get a lot more reward in Coinbase. Now you have different lending options. You can lend and earn eight point six percent or on your UCSC with block fi in traditional finance. Nothing is comparable. It’s native to crypto. Obviously you can send money wherever you want. However you want to do whatever you want. You buy and sell crypto. You trade, you invest it. It’s way easier and way more smooth easily to convert it quickly to convert. You can hold UCSC on the sidelines and convert back to crypto money at any time. Is this are the big fundamentals on the why? On why? Ryan in this article speculates that Coinbase will flip to Wells Fargo. You know, we talk about the flippity that, for example, people sometimes speak about a theorem flipping that if it’s going to flip Bitcoin and be number one crypto or we’ll talk about that bitcoin S.V. might flip bitcoin cash and be more thwart more than bitcoin cash. Look, this is the most important flipping thing that all of this crypto banks, crypto exchanges such as Coinbase, because they have this newest infrastructure, they’re fully built on U.S. infrastructure, which is crypto, which is blockchain, where they have lensink, they have high interest rates, they have all this money markets. Where does this high interest rate conwell from? Money markets in DEFI in most cases. And normal banks don’t have that far away from that far, far away from that. So that’s the biggest thing. If Coinbase gets acquired by some day, my only question is, will it be Amazon or JP Morgan is either big take or big banking does gun that try to come into crypto and then he is talking about that is gonna flip bitcoin. But yeah, I don’t really I’m not really interested when Ryan starts talking about this. You know ethe better than bitcoin topic. I don’t really care about that. This I care about this I care a lot about not. What’s important to note is that we do have other right now going wild. Speaking of stable currency. Speaking of debt deathers going absolutely wild. You know that we covered the fact that recently we saw an increase in tother market cap by $1.5 billion, which means that they printed 1.5 billion new coins, which hopefully are back. Hopefully they have, of course, people depositing into Teather and that that’s why we see new tokens being printed. So that’s hopefully why that is. But you see that many people are basically seeing that this is like the Fed her money print. Gold, but nothing like this. And at the end of the day, you should have it. This is mine. You should, of course, have this in mind that there is no audit. It’s not transparent. But it’s been like that now for years. It’s been like that for years. And I feel that if they really had big issues, structural issues, we would already see them struggling a lot. And bitfinex, they are the masters of survival. They had so many big global global failures. They got hacked in 2016, could not pay back their depositors. What did they do? Issue a token, issued a token and then paid back everyone later. Wrong. And let me know if you actually was part of that. But just it’s an example of where someone in normal company, so to speak, with failed long, long ago, but they actually saved themselves from the catastrophe. And it feels that, look, we don’t have any insight. It’s not transparent. That is why I wouldn’t have too much in other guys. The other is amazing because, look, it’s liquid is the biggest cryptocurrency on the market in terms of liquidity. You can not even argue against that. It’s biggest in volume. It’s way bigger than bitcoin is the first to two billion in Teather thirty three and bitcoin. So in many cases this is most popular and most used, most popular and most use crypto on the market right now. Whether it’s going to be like that. I think so. I think is going to be like that in the future as well, especially because they are increasing market cap a lot as well. So now is a 6.3, even when you look at market cap. Look, I think that they are going to go past REPL very soon. They’re going to be number three here very, very soon. And then probably in a year or so, they’re going to also surpass, if it’s a question of time, because obviously they can print new tethers way quicker than the price of Ethe or X or peak and go up and you know that X or people do dumping and they’re even dumping. But these guys, they can really print a lot. Now, hopefully it’s backed. When I say print, I really mean that the people are depositing. That is what I hope happens. But we don’t know. Look, maybe they’re just printing. Do an audit and just do an audit. Open up your books. Let us see. Let us see. But that is still not happening, guys. That and they had attempts at audits. Was it erson Young? Or was it BWC that tried to audit them? But then they kind of stopped working. Di, what about dice? What about Di? Di is performing quite well in terms of the system’s stability. It is performing quite well and they have recovered fully since some scenes since their Black Thursday event. You can generate DI through defo. Exactly. I mean when people deposit eith into into setpiece new DI is getting generated. Now let’s move on to the freedomto topic and I have a lot to discuss because look, you can not really look back this and say discuss in the introduction. And so can you guess remind me, is this a constitution or independence? Declaration of Independence. Let me know in the chat. Let’s do some history lessons. But this is basically founding fathers of of the US. So just like I told you, you understand that when you have both is both us or like. So it’s both Declaration of Independence and cost. OK. C is both in one. So they assembled. They really risked their lives to establish this new nation, which, by the way, has been the most successful in the past few few hundreds of years. But now it feels unfortunately like all empires, you know, are a lot of success and less like we discussed a few days ago, that you have this decline as well, because people relax, people get more expensive. They don’t work as hard. They have more and more debt. So unfortunately, that is what’s happening. But you cannot deny the success over the past 200 years. And, you know, when they did this, obviously, they meant they meant that this should hold even in bad times, even when you have a virus, nobody came in and said, hey, just to be clear, none of this matters if there is a virus. So that’s what scares me. When you look at this, for example, it’s in Swedish SABL, not spend a lot of time, but they will just show you the main things. This is happening worldwide now. They’re going to basically now try to push a law, a temporary law for three months where it’s a power grab 100 percent. The government alone without the parliament will be able to shut down meetings and the closed down infrastructure. However they want. They can shut down specific businesses however they want. They can them re read what is called you redistribute. You redistribute private health resources. So basically, if you have a private company, you work in the health industry, you might be wrecked by the government, basically. They will take your stuff and redistribute. And yes, I mean, this is an article that is very critical against this whole thing, basic saying that, look, it’s not even proportional. What’s going on? I mean, for them to do this, man, it’s not like it’s not proportional to the crisis we have. They haven’t analyzed the consequences. And they’re saying it’s gonna be for three months. But the article says that tape, three months, probably nothing’s going to change in terms of the virus. So probably it’s going to be prolonged. Look, it’s always like that they do something temporary and then they don’t remove it or they remove it. 20 years later, it’s like the tax in Sweden. You know, the highest income tax, highest income bracket. It was actually established in the 90s. And it was also just to handle the crisis, the economic crisis during the 90s. This highest brackets tax, but it just got removed. This year, it took them 30 years until they removed it 25, 30 years. So you understand that whenever something is temperament, it can be temporary for twenty five years because people get used. People get relaxed. They always gave away powers. Nobody’s even discussing that. Soon they’re gonna be there’s gonna be new. They’re gonna be new news, new big headlines. Nobody’s even going to talk about the fact that we have a power grab that happened during the crisis, because now people care about other stuff. Each and every year, there’s always new stuff to care about on the news. And so right now, it’s a big topic. But, hey, they sneak this in, who’s going to remove it? Who’s going to create the news? Who’s going to create the news? A flurry around this thing to remove it later. Nobody’s. Nobody. We’re going to care about some other stuff. Maybe it’s like a Tokyo Olympics. We’re going to care about or we’re going to care about some other crisis. It’s election. Obviously, everyone’s going to talk about the U.S. election even here, man. People care more about the tramp here in Sweden than you care about in the US. I can assure you that we follow elections step by step by step here. It’s very popular. So you understand that, hey, people are not going to talk about it in a few weeks. So if this gets passed, it’s very dangerous. You will not get it back. You think you will not get it back? Maybe in 25 years, like with the highest income tax bracket, it took 25 years for them to remove it, which was also temporary for the nineties crisis. Yemen. That is how it is. If you pay tax on land, are you really the owners say, says Zoid Salt and not really. Not really. And that is why Sweden in some cases is also a tax paradise. I mean, believe it or not, I know it sounds insane. It’s definitely not a tax practice if you are just earning your money. If you have salary, man, you are being absolutely taken advantage of with taxes. You pay all of Delek tax if you already have capital. Sweden is very good. I mean, believe it or not, it’s very good because no one basically zero capital gains, basically zero capital gains. Number two, no real estate tax, no property tax, no wealth tax, no inheritance tax. I mean, there you see the branding. And the reality is different because obviously we want rich people here. We want them to come to take their money. And then we tell the working class that we’re socialists so they don’t a revolt with we tell them, guys, we’re socialists, we’re working for you. But you pay all the taxes, by the way, by the way. So it’s not good when you’re just earning your money and you’re building capital if you already have capital. We’re open. Open arms, guys. Open arms. Come, come here. But if you’re building your capital yet, that’s where you get the most you get taken advantage of. So, yes, if you have capital gains, you know where to go. Not Panama, not Switzerland. No, Cayman Island. It’s Sweden. I mean, believe it or not, it is it is like that. Now, hopefully, they will not mess this environment up because I feel that they might like pull back, take back the property tax or something. They might destroy it because, look, it’s it might seem popular in the moment. And it’s always like that. Look, when you have crisis, people are scared. You see a lot of populism. Look at Argentina right now, basically defaulting for the ninth time. There is a saying three things in life. Are certain, number one, death that certain taxes. That’s that certain. And another one is Argentina. Default is going to happen again. And now to my understanding, this hasn’t really happened, but is basically de facto happened. But not that officially they didn’t declare bankruptcy and default officially, but they basically stop stop paying their debts. So really, what is the definition of default? So look what will happen when you see this in your country. Because when people are scared, when you see like countries defaulting and stuff, that’s when you see a lot of short term bad political decisions which might even lead to authoritarian regimes. I know it sounds a bit far fetched. Maybe it sounds a bit crazy, but they look at the Great Depression. It’s literally caused the the Germany to become what Germany became in the thirties. You all know that. And look at that documentary is how how that the power, authoritarian power grew in Germany during the thirties. They literally was eradicated almost almost before the Great Depression hit. And then you saw economic collapse in Germany as well. So, look, it’s it’s a pretty. Be ready for this. And that’s why I hope, man, if you are anywhere in. The world and you have a private hospital or a private clinic or something. I hope you have a bit of Bitcoin because like I showed you this power grab article in Sweden, the Oregon account for your assets there, they’re going to do that because now they need to seem strong. Your government interest is strong because the population demands it. And to take, you know, health resources from this greedy capitalistic Cosby, greedy capitalistic hospitals who just want profit. You want profit. Now give us all your assets. That’s what they’re gonna tell you. And you have worked 20 years. Maybe you spent nights, days. You took risks. You took a lot of investment put into your health company, a health clinic. But you’re going to be painted as greedy capitalist. If if you don’t like, give them stuff. So, look, beware. Have some bitcoin like. Just to be sure. Because the bitcoin is biscoe. You have your private key. And that’s how it is. That’s how it is. Healthcare should not be for profit, says Andrews. Well, maybe not. Look, it’s not a political channel, but if you have somebody who has already built up their company, their clinic, then you should offer him a good price too. To sell that you should. Basically, if you really want to abolish private health in your county, in your country, which might be a political decision, you should be a lot like you should really play or pay overprice to all of these guys who have private health cleanings because, look, they worked that they took risks and stuff and they built that business. So I know. Look, it’s not a political channel, but you get it. I’m just giving you a bit of insight into the fact that if you have some Bitcoin, you have your private key, you have them, you have them. There is no way to really, really, really do anything about that. So, yeah, think about that solid crypto man superjet. Amazing. The land owners will flee. They will dump their overpriced assets on the market. And the nation will stay with all the poor people and they will take their assets to survive. Yeah, I think that is a big, big possibility. Thank you, by the way, for superjet. And let me talk a bit about that, because I’ve also been thinking about it and the fact that we see Singapore, we see Switzerland. I mean, there are many of these countries that are amazing. If you have capital like Sweden is also good. Sweden is also good. But sometimes we have all kinds of this, you know, power grabs. But what you’re saying is that, look. Yes. If you are successful, you have an easier way of moving. You can move anywhere. But it also depends on which business you have. Like it might be difficult to move your business assets because you have to employ employees and you might have real estate and the factories and stuff. So at the end of the day, it might not be as easy, but it is easier than ever. Of course. Go to Singapore. Go to hell. Maybe not Hong Kong, because you know what’s going to happen during a few years. But you go Switzerland. Singapore is somewhere where you’re more welcome. So that’s that’s of course, true. Okay, guys, moving on. Moving on, moving on to next. The next situation will have A M M V are V values for eath. I just want to cover it quickly. This is basically showing you whether EIF is undervalued or overvalued and this is in any crypto you can do this analysis. So I just want to show you that right now we are at zero point eighty three. So it basically means that we are undervalued. The price of ethe is eighty three percent of kind of the fair price according to this metric. So what does this metric show? Well, basically it shows the difference between the normal market cap. You know, how we normally calculate market cap would take a number of coins times the price you get market cap. So you take that and you compare it to the so-called realized market cap because realized market cap, it doesn’t treat all coins the same way. So if you have a coin that has been lost, depravities is lost or is just a very strong hodler that’s not going to move his or her coins. That coin is not priced in the same way as a coin that recently moved because that’s recently moved coin probably will be dumped very soon. So you see a lot of trading with like this recently moved coins and not a lot of trading and not a lot of selling in particular is selling with these coins that are being not touched at all. So realize the market cap is really taking into consideration that all coins are not similar. So when we divide real normal market cap, I mean, just taking price times, number of coins and we divide divided by realize market cap where price of each coin is not the price of today that you see on the coin geko or coin pre-K. It’s not the spot price, but price of each coin is the price. When that coin last moved, when that coin last moved, you get this metric. That is M.V. r.V. And why is it useful? I mean, why would we do it? Well, you can think about it in this way. In this perspective that basically this. Is the value this real market cap. It removes all of the short term hysteria or all of the short term emotions and gives more weight to hurdlers, it gives more weight to people who are really here seriously who are really here seriously. So this is the biggest thing because we basically remove all of the, you know, folie fear of losing everything when people are just dumping or when price moves up a lot like crazy. We remove all of the formal from the calculation and we kind of are left with the reasonable fair price of bitcoin. If you just don’t look at the past craziness in the market. So this is what this metric shows. M.V. Ηarvey metric in glass NOAD and this is on Chane indicator. It basically shows that right now the real the real market cap, like the normal common market cap is just 84 percent of the fare of the fair balanced market cap, like if you remove all of the short term hysteria with sell offs. The balanced market cap, if you have a balanced view, it should be 20 percent higher in eith. So by the way, you can get all of these indicators and so many more. I mean they have hundreds of these indicators on glasnost and you can get most of them for free if you go to I went to the com slash deals and you click here, you click click your glass note on chain indicators. So I would overcome such deals. You can get that. And what else is important is this you can do the same analysis with bitcoin. So we have a bitcoin M.V. Ηarvey ratio and you see seven day moving average here. We’re already a bit above it. Here we are already a bit above it. So right now, bitcoin market cap is 1.2 compared to kind of the balance market cap. But look, when we go into the 2s and especially when I go into the forest and 3s, that is when you truly see overvaluation. So keep in mind you should use it together with other indicators. And there are different ways to look at this. I mean, you have mvr V, you have short term and long term mvr V. So if you look at, for example, at the short term mvr V. It only shows the last one hundred and fifty five days here were still undervalued. So you can experiment with it. If you look at only the past one, there’s 55 days and you see that you only you only take into consideration how and how coins moved during that time. And that is your balance market cap. You see that we’re still undervalued. So there are many different ways to look at this. So experiment try to find your own way of viewing the market. And if you look at long term, you only look at coins that are older than 1055 days, then we are already a bit overvalued because look, I find this so interesting, all of this on Chane indicators. And finally, before we go into the Q&A, I just want to show you this, how it feels exploring seemingly endless world of opportunities on the theorem. And that’s exactly how it feels like, man. Whenever I read about a new protocol or a new system or a new way of doing things with stable coins, it’s it’s so mindblowing and there’s so much to learn. I mean, I don’t even know everything. Nobody knows everything. It’s so much to learn, so much to see how derivative synthetics, stable coins, lending, interest rates, capital markets, money markets like it’s all decentralized, all in the blockchain. And literally, this is as you guys were flying over it. And then this glider is good morning, crypto, because we’re together using this show as a vehicle to fly and see this whole crypto landscape. And this is crypto like all of the mountains. It’s insane saying it’s how much we’re seeing. I’ve never seen anything like this in any industry. And we’re building it as we’re going. Now, finally before Q&A, guys, I want to talk about this, that the economy is dependent on at least half of the citizens not understanding how mining works. If ever understood the game of money, the system would break. This is so true. Why? Because then more and more people would understand the Cantillon effect. Once again, it’s all about the concealer and the fact if you don’t know what it is. Google it. I will explain to shortly. Concealer and effect is that if you have good credit score, you have good connection with the banks. You get freshly printed fiat. You get freshly printed theearth. You can push up the asset prices because you were the first to use that freshly printed fiat because it enters the circulation. You can buy up all of the assets. That is why real estate is so expensive in all countries. And look, it’s just a few people holding all of it because they are the ones with connections. If you’re a young person today, you cannot even move out of your parents house. In most cases in the Western world, not possible because of concealing an effect, because it cannot go and get freshly printed fiat. You’re not allowed. And whenever you hear that there are low interest rates removing too negative interest rates. Well, they’re not for you guys. They’re not for me, either. They’re not for us. They’re for a very exclusive club of people who can get this free money, who can get this basically chip free money and buy up assets and then invest it. Course, they invest it into assets that give them monthly cash flow and get monthly income so they can go and they can get even more of this free shipping. So it’s like a never ending circle. Please keep attention. Pay attention. Look, if more people understood it, obviously the system would not work. Then everyone would understand that it is actually rigged against you. It’s rigged against you if you do not participate in in credit like you have to have credit to participate in this and to gain advantage over this. Most people are instead taught that you should save, you know, save up your money for a rainy day. This and that. But you’re actually the loser if you do it in the current in the current fiat system, because you’re basically getting getting taken advantage of through the Cantillon effect. They dilute your value and give it to a guy who just took that chip and a chip close to zero percent loan. That basically what happens to your savings. You give it away. Guess if you save and it shouldn’t be like that. I mean, look, if you have money, you should be able to save it. I think it should be. I like saving as well, but I understand that it’s stupid in the current environment of off of you just hoarding fiat. You should save instead in ass’s. That is that is how you save in the current fiat system. You have real estate income producing you to have the stocks dividend producing. You each have some kind of thing that gives you monthly income because fiat is worthless is because worthless by the second. So that is why saving is good. Even in fiat system. But not you not saving fiat. You get to save assets. Now another of the nation from solid crypto man, our own superjet. My heart literally warms up when I see you guys using Superjet because it’s ours. We fricking built it. It still has a few bugs. Like I think some of you may be tried, didn’t work, but is gonna work better day by day. You’re gonna see how much better it will be in just a few days because we’re working on it every day. Like OK. Solid grip too. Have you read the road to Financial Freedom? Unfortunately, I haven’t. Is it good? If yes, I will write it down the road to financial freedom. Can anyone send me the link to 10-X? Guys, go and return extra-large. It’s even free on youtube. You can find it. It’s the best book I’ve ever I’ve ever like. It’s the best book. Go and read it. Right. It’s an audible. Yes, an audible. I use all the ball I use I books like Atrians thing about you can also get it for free on YouTube so you can find it to learn about money. Human 6 features of money is a must to watch this for. Yes, you are correct. Yes. Yes indeed. I cannot be sorry about the evil. A product will ave is a defi is. It’s a defi protocol. The most important feature that really distinguishes them from many others is their flash loan capability. So you know, we talk about flash long eve supports flash long. So that’s the most important. It’s all about money markets. It’s all about you having liquidity markets. So it is is doing that. Let’s see if I can find it. Is it all a. Yeah. So open source defi product. But for me, the most important thing with them is, is the flashfloods like they have a can spend 1 to 1 with underlying assets. They have res switching flash loans, of course. I think they’re gonna be big. I think they’re gonna be absolutely big. But what I don’t know. Do they have the or they don’t have their own coin or they do or is just like a union swap, like a protocol man were pumping? Or are we. Yemen? We are. I think yeah. We started this at seven point two I think. But not to get distracted. I dont think they have their own coin. I’ll document. Got it. Got it. I like. Thanks. Thanks. Eh. A way. A way. How did you do that? Eve or anyway. I think the most important feature of them is the and what really distinguishes them. It is that flash loan thing, you know that we are creating our defi to a one course and we’re gonna do practical defi in our academy aswell practical up to a practical flashfloods. We have already a lot of practical defi with defi one, the one where we teach you how to use them all defi products that are important and the old different products like you swaption tactics rad. That really a lot. A lot, a lot. A lot. We teach you how to use and how they work in our different on the one course. Go check kazimir. What I’m saying. Gabrielle, why don’t you make an episode with Amadeu Brands? Nice would be a cool Yemen. It sounds amazing. I might see. Would love that. I think he would love that. I would also love that. I think he’s even listening. Amadeu. Let me know in the chat if you’re listening. But yeah, that will be very interesting. And people love that course. People loved that course a lot that we did together with Manziel. And the next one is gonna be more about that. Maybe show you practically how to create flash loans, how to get millions of dollars in a transaction. But you have to repaid back within the same transaction if but you can use it in arbitration, so and so forth. Even if if you want to help local business with DEFI, what would you should suggest some sort of crypto along? Well, for now you don’t really. I mean you can get. You can not. Get the money out of thin air. You need to have collateral. So, yeah, that’s that that’s not really applique applicable if your business is struggling. So does the only thing we need. Andrew collateralized loans and they are coming. But for now we only have over collateralized loans. I guess I want to remind you if you haven’t. Go to our webinar. You’ll find the link below. So go and check it. Right now we’re talking about how to stack massive amounts of SATs. Absolutely massive during the bull market. And it’s a free webinar. So you don’t you don’t need to pay anything. And join us if you haven’t been in the webinar before. And if you’re not in that chasm yet, go and join this to date. And we’re going to do it on April the twenty ninth. So go enjoy to today is if the company just accepts crypto, it can help them. Well, yes, you can get the the interest rates from Defi. That’s true. That’s true. But they still gonna be life changing like overnight. It’s not gonna be this emergency loan that many businesses need right now. They need emergency loans. Ivan, I heard many top public companies are doing are going private. And all that will be left is penny stock companies. How will this affect stock and crypto markets? To be honest with you, I haven’t really seen that. Why? Why would they? Let’s see it. Let’s see it. Corporations going private. I haven’t really seen anything about that. Why are you saying that? Maybe you can link. Because I haven’t I haven’t really seen that. I don’t really think it’s in their interest, to be honest. Why would it be? Why would it be? It would be difficult for them to issue new. I mean, maybe for fi. I don’t know. Let me know. I need to think more about it. Heard it from Max Kaiser show. Oh, wow. Yeah. Okay. I will check. I like Max Keiser. He talks about continue in effect a lot. Shill, both shill. But bannings. I agree. But when we reach the peak of bull market, you can use that money to invest in something else. Oh, you mean the Alexander is talking about the bull and be embarass cycles? Lots of companies are doing pride because of over. Oh, yeah. That makes sense. That makes sense. They will do a token maybe. I don’t know. Look at Bynum’s BMB. Don’t even have to follow regulation. I don’t know what’s going to happen, guys to be on B. I have B and B because I think violence is doing a great job. But it’s just like men. They’re burning tokens based on revenue. How is that not a security? But I like that it’s not a security. Maybe it will be a security. It’s not class like. They’re not getting in trouble for it. I don’t know really how how how that works. I mean, why. A lot of other companies and alot of other players like it block when they are in trouble. But Bynum’s isn’t it? I mean that’s fascinating. And look, it’s good like the fact that you have all the securities regulation is actually quite restricting. Like how else would you get that piece of balance. Success. Impossible, impossible with their coin. Anyone can do it as long. But of course there is a trust element. You need to trust that they will keep bringing the supply based on them, based on their profits, and also that you can use the coin to get lower fees and all of that. Okay. Yes, I think that’s it for today. Thank you so much for being here yet again. I really, really appreciate that you. Thank you. Especially all of you who tried the superjet. It truly warms my heart that we can do this better testing. And it’s amazing. And look, you’re gonna be amazed how how much better it will be, because now we just have like a basic thing. We have to input fields like for the text and for the number. But there’s gotta be way prettier. He’s gonna be like fireworks. I told you. But we have a few more bugs to fix. So maybe like in a week we’ll see if we’re working each and every day. So it’s gonna work out even smoother, even smoother. So, guys, thank you so much. So thank you so much for being here. If you are on YouTube, go to the dot com slash live N8 being sheltered to N8 for doing timestamps. Thanks so much for sending in big shout to Gabbar for working like crazy to make super chat’s happen without Gabbar looking super just would not work. So thank you so much and I’ll see you all very, very soon. Goodbye. Goodbye. Kiss goodbye. Goodbye.

EU BANKS COLLAPSING!!! Bitcoin Defi ETH Undervalued (Still)

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

And we’re alive. Yes. Welcome to another episode of Good Morning Crypt, the here on an Ivan Ontake. We are, of course, broadcasting live straight out of Stockholm, Sweden. And we do this show each and every day at 8 a.m. Central European Time as I come to like an atomic location every day. Look, we have so much to discuss. We have EU banking space really crumbling, really, really crumbling. And it does a lot to do, a lot to fix. And look, at the end of the day, we might see a bank run and we might see the whole system really, really collapsing. That is the Worst-Case scenario. And we’re going to look at some very important data that is new data that we have. This article basically saying that eight European banks prepared for a crisis, but not this one. And this is from New York Times. So, look, we have been preparing in the EU, but of the magnitude of what’s going on right now is simply not comparable to anything that we have drilled for. Because this is not the drill, guys. This is absolutely not a drill. But to be honest with you, you know, what’s funny is that this current situation is not even the biggest issue. It’s not even the biggest threat to banking worldwide. It is crypto. And it’s not only Bitcoin. We will have a flip inning soon in the world of finance where stable coins will be used more than normal dollars. You know why? Because you can get interest. You can free to transact however you want is frictionless. And we’ll read important reports about this situation as well, that many people aren’t even cashing out their stable coins anymore. They’re being fui. They’re being fully integrated into crypto and they’re being fully stocked encrypt and stuck by their own wish. They’re stuck because crypto is so good. So I don’t want to pull out their stable coins, as we’ll see today in the research and in the numbers. So, guys, there’s going to be the first stoppage. The second topic is actually going to be about undervaluation, because I want to show to some unchained statistics on chained data to today. But we’ll be looking at Glass A.. And we will be checking a specific metric, gold M V or V. So I will teach you about this metric that basically shows undervaluation or overvaluation in coins. I will explain to you how this metric works and why it’s important to know and to use together with other. Together with other indicators, of course. But this one is big. So if you don’t know M V are V and how to use it in EIF, how to use it in bitcoin. Stay tuned because it’s own chain. It’s very important data that you and I need to know and that you will understand why even today, even today eith is undervalued. According to this metric and why you always should follow it. Because when it turns overvalued, that’s when you also can use it as a signal in your strategies. So definitely keep that in mind. So that’s going to be the second topic. And then finally, I guess I want to discuss freedoms. I want to discuss freedoms because freedoms are being taken away from us in so many different ways and on so many different levels right now. And the reason is because people are scared. Whenever people are scared, they give away all freedoms. And today, I will be showing to example from our country, from Sweden, where the government basically wants to have this insane law that will give them all all kinds of power. For example, they can shut down whatever business they want or they can probably also tell a business exactly what they should do. Obviously, they’re mostly talking about like private hospitals and private health companies. And within that area to try to combat the virus. But look, this is so dangerous. And that is why I feel that this meme you saw amazing that, hey, you have these founding fathers basically creating the basis of the United States of America, creating the fundamental the fundamental core values. But then, you know, just to be clear, none of this matters. None of this applies if there is a virus that is still fighting. And that is exactly true. I mean, all of our freedoms basically don’t apply and if there is a virus. So imagine if that was the case. If these guys get guys by just, you know, everything that we’ve written, none of this matters. If there is a virus. So keep it in mind. So that’s a lot of questions. And especially in countries like Argentina that are close to default, they’re literally defaulting right now. We will see even more power power grab from the government. It always happens and it always will happen when people are scared. So please keep that in mind. Please be aware and be on your top performance in terms of monitoring this and also the end that you might have to do some action. You might, for example, have to protect your assets because they might be confiscated. Imagine situation, for example, in Argentina, but hell, even in Sweden. Imagine you run a health care company. And now the government has probably if this law passes, which it probably will pass, they have the power to basically tell you exactly what you should do and even shut you down and take your assets. Look, it’s terrible. It’s terrible. So it’s a big. And we have to discuss. But guess that being said, welcome, everyone who is watching this live. Welcome, welcome, guys. We’re streaming live on. I’m a little dot com slash alive if you’re watching this show. Used to be I’ve already missed the whole show. I don’t know why you’re doing that, because you should go to the concession fleshlight. Subscribe. There you see read subscribe button. You should have alerts. And they both you should have notifications in telegram and they bolt, if you like, dark mold. You can even get dark mold. We do have super chats right now in our own chat where we don’t share with anyone. Look, why should we share with YouTube or someone when we have our own supercharged built in? And as you can see, it wasn’t that difficult. And so when YouTube they provide the super chat feature, in reality, they’re doing a simple feature. But charging so much, man, charging so much. And then, you know, after that, you have to pay tax. So you as a creator, basically get less than half. Less than half. So, yeah. That’s insane. That’s why more and more creators should think like we do take back control, take back their super Rennet, see and move to their own platforms. Now, guests welcome everyone who is always watching. I see group to huddle. I see shil. But I see all this. I see it, man. I see Krypto Michaelmas Day. Guys, welcome. Gabbar. A rave. The Mass. Welcome, welcome. Welcome. Jewel Vining. Michael Gulp by Ron natha Leavelle. Yeah, I see you writing something about the scroll thing. Email us E.M.S. instead of Superchunk from Bitter Group. This man is our own superjet and you know that this is the first day we have super chat and to morrow we’ll even add more feature. So when people do a superjet through will be like fireworks. I don’t know. There should be something cool. Maybe the whole screen does a backflip. There should be something amazing because we can control everything that happens on this screen, on this website where we have the Lifestream. So we will really, really do that when you do a superjet. Man, your brain will basically just while you will see all of these things happening. We’ll see. We’ll see. Guys, I’m pumped. As you can see, I’m pumped. So I’m looking at the news. We do have some sad news embittered by the very seriousness where seeing of seriousness. We do have Johnson, the prime minister of Great Britain, right now in intensive care unit for the illness. You know, the global virus. And it look it serious. It’s not a joke. And he was one of the people who really underplayed the whole situation. And many people. I mean, even before I got the information from my mom, who works in the hospital here in Sweden about how severe it is, it was difficult to understand, like the severe illness of this issue, because just a month ago, most of us didn’t have anyone who had Corona in their in their family or in their kind of close proximity. But now you see it everywhere. Now you see it everywhere. So it’s definitely not a drill, to be honest, is definitely not a drill. So, unfortunately, Johnson, you remember he went even to hospitals where he said, hey, I shook hands with everyone. It was amazing. We had the great time. I’m not really worried about this whole virus, but unfortunately, look, nobody is too strong for this. Nobody is saved. So let’s go up to thank you for superjet spending my helicopter money. Exactly. And the previous super shot was from Peter Grewal is saying watching videos already in that Kasman. Thanks, Matt. Thanks, Matt. Appreciate it. Now, this is serious. Guess this is something that right now you cannot even underplay it like we do have this conspiracy theories sometimes claiming that it’s like for some reason five G is involved in this virus. But please, guys, come to your senses. Look at Iran. They have five G there. Absolutely not. So I just saw a lot of talk about this five g to me. Nonsense to me, nonsense. And you know, in the chat, if you agree with that or I’m not looking at bitcoin web, amazing day, you know, that we’ve pumped quite significantly yesterday. We have 3.7 percent in bitcoin. We have thirteen point four percent in for thirteen point four. So one of the most performing points today is actually eath. We have X RPI 6.9. All in all, very bullish guys. Very, very, very bullish. Looking out the top gainers. Where did you buy it for coin? In-shore bitcoin and the biggest losers today are not even a month like five losers. What is this? I see some people in the chat saying that Iran, in fact, does have 5G G. Well, there you go. There you go. Don’t underestimate 5G. And look, London real will sensor. Did you see that interview? There was this guy talking about this whole situation. He got censored. But to me, it’s still nonsense. Still nonsense. Maybe you guys can convince me. Let me know. Let me know. Now, looking in the in the markets, I’m looking at the exchanges. You know that we do have collaboration with binded and themit’s. You can trade bitcoin. If you do use X-ART, be on the by bit. You can do that plus a link, Tasos Light on and gold. You can even trade the real gold on on Femm X. And if you use the link below, you go to best crypto deals. If you are in YouTube you see like crypto deals link. You get there, you get some good starting package. So definitely do that. Go there right now. And yeah, you can long, you can short, you can use leverage up to 100x if you’re careful. Look, why does this only make sense on small time frames? And if you have good risk management and if you know what you’re doing. Otherwise, look, it’s dangerous. Of course it’s dangerous. It’s like having a camera always tell you you can have a hammer and you can hammer a nail or you can hammer your finger nail. So obviously, a hammer can be used for both things, just like this whole situation with biblethump Fenwick’s. And we do have another installment of our free webinar where we will be discussing how to stack massive amounts of SAS in this coming bull market. And who gets bull markets is here. It is already here, but it just difficult to see. And there’s going to be in a few weeks on April the twenty ninth. Go and find the link below. Just look below. You’ll see, you’ll see this webinar link. So definitely go and join straightaway. Straightaway. Now looking at the Europe guys, this is kind of the main topic. You know that Europe hasn’t really been performing well in terms of banking. And there are many issues. There are many, many issues. I think the biggest issue is the fact that we still haven’t truly recovered from 2000 and the eighth collapse. We’re still kind of trying to patch. We’re trying to patch everything that broke at that time. And look, the reason why we struggled is because the whole system is very fragile. And it’s just insane how fragile this whole system of money is. It’s the most important technology in the world. munya, by the way, money is a technology, but you understand that any minute your biggest banks in your country can fail at any minute. They can do that. You even have the government trying to come in, step in, trying to insure all of these banks who are private corporations. They’re private corporations, yet they’re too big to fail. So the government basically needs to give them free money if they fail and if they are going to fail, you know all about bailouts by now. So is this weird system that can not be here in the future? The fact that all of these companies, because they are companies, they’re handling everyone’s money and at moments notice they can mess up and then can fail and take everyone’s funds with them. Of course, the government may step in and give a bit back in the insurance, of course. But look, if you have a company that insurance is nothing. If you have a company, that insurance is absolutely nothing. So in reality, if you really look at the most important parts of society, like small business, like corporations, like not of this too big to fail corporations, but successful, successful businesses, they are most important parts in the society and their well-being is basically tied up into the banking space. So that’s very important. That’s what’s important to understand now. And we’re seeing something that we’ve never really seen before, this kind of slow down in the economy. And it’s very unprecedented. You know, in the US, we have 10 million and the unemployed, the claims it’s ever done, it’s been in decades, decades, decades and decades, the biggest ever. And obviously we’re seeing a similar thing in the EU in regards to spending. People are not really spending a lot. A lot of restaurants are closing, businesses closing, people getting fired left and right. We just hired we just hired a smart guy in our company and he was fired because he just was switching jobs and he just got fired by the new employer because they basically couldn’t hire new people. So he was going to start his. He has good skills. He has a good brain. But he also got basically fired even even before he could start. So we’re seeing it left and right. People with education, people without education fired or they’re just let go. And the government base a bit of their salary. So it’s happening left and right now. We haven’t yet seen any any import done that debt default. We haven’t even seen the bad debt yet. And yet this the system is already crumbling. But the bad debt is gonna come in a few months when, for example, the government stops paying people salaries like they do right now, at least in in Europe, it’s very common. In the US, you have more like an airdrop to all citizens. You get a few free court coins, freshly mined coins. You’re getting an airdrop in that you have a bit different system because you don’t lose your job because you’re still employed. But it just that you don’t work and the company doesn’t pay you all salary. They just pay 50 percent of your salary. You still work 40 percent and then the government comes in and base another forty two percent of your salary. So all in all, the employer. Fifty percent base you the government pays two. So you have 92 percent of your salary, but you only work 40 percent. Obviously, that’s not sustainable. That’s not going to go far, guys. It’s a few months and then that’s it. And then that’s it. What will happen when that happens? What will happen when the government stops giving people free money, free airdrop for this kind of behavior of just being home? And there look, no doubt that the. Lazy. That is nothing to do. There’s no consumption. So what are they gonna do? The companies don’t even have work for them. There is no business. So when the government removes this 42 percent of the salary that they’re right now paying in in Sweden at least, and in other EU countries, it’s very it’s very similar. It’s a very similar system in the US is different. Just airdrop in the EU is more that you’re not getting even fired, but you get the big portion of your salary paid by government. You don’t have to work. So look, when that when that stops, obviously, people will first and foremost stop consumption. They will stop consumption even more because they don’t want to lose their house. They don’t want to lose their apartment. So that is the second step in the first step. They will stop consuming. They will really, really cut down on everything. That is when the businesses will start to default on their debts. That is when the banking sector will really struggle as well, because now they just have bad debt. They don’t have good assets. You know, debt is an asset is an asset for the banks, but bad debt is just the bad debts. You don’t get anything for it. If the if the if your if the people you’re lending to, they just default. So it’s very dangerous for the banking system as a whole. The situation we’re seeing unfold now, that is the first step. The second step would be the real estate market. And you know how deep the banks are into real estate as well. So they’re going to be hit twice, two fold. Number one, people so consuming. Number two, when you cut all consumption, you’re you’re still not getting enough money from your income. Income streams. Now, you might have to sell your your real estate. You might have to sell your residency. You might have to go and the rent. You might have to go and move back to your parents. So that’s why a real estate decline is also very probable. But that’s going to come after the limit that spending. And that is when businesses again. Again, really real struggle. And that’s when banks are also going to struggle even more, because now they have bad debt. So, look, banks are under pressure anywhere on the planet that the virus has spread to, which is virtually everywhere. So banks around the globe, if you think that this is only about the EU, think twice, think twice, especially in the US. We’ve also been covering it. In the U.S., you have small banks failing already. The problem is particularly acute in Europe because most banks never really recovered from 2008 from the last financial crisis. So look at Deutsche Bank, for example, is the only who is the only one that is still top 10 global banks, but they’re plagued with meager profitability, inefficient operations and continuing costs of cleaning up all the messes. I mean, there are a lot of scandals, a lot of issues, a lot of bad debt. And most importantly, most importantly, you know, my favorite old point, my favorite pump and dump all go in. It is it is this it is Deutschebank stock that went from one hundred and fourteen all the way now to five point eight guys. This is like ninety five percent. Can somebody quickly run the calculation of how much five is out of one hundred and fourteen. Just divide five by by one hundred fourteen and you’ll see the percentage like we’ve dropped ninety five plus percent in this client in this Deutschebank coin. All right. And this is the Loescher bank stock. Of course I’m just joking jokingly comparing it 4 percent now we’re just a 4 percent left from previous value. So 96 percent decline. It’s absolutely insane. Absolutely insane. So this is just gonna continue. Deutsche Bank is the strongest player in the EU and this is kind of how the strongest player looks like because they’re still ranked the top 10 within top down globally. And the EU doesn’t have any other real successful banks. I mean, you did have some U.K. banks, but now they’re no longer in the EU. You did have as well the Credit Suisse, but that is in Switzerland, but it’s in Europe. So it’s a difference between Europe and the EU. And look, Deutschebank is the largest eurozone lender among the top 10 investment banks globally and is based on revenue. And there you also have Barclays in UK and Credit Suisse. But that is in Switzerland. So Europe as a whole has more big global banks, but in the U.S. Just have one which is concerning, which is concerning. But in one way, I hope that it will it will be continue more towards that path moving forward before we completely move out of the banking space, before we completely move to to crypto. I mean, obviously, it’s going to take time, but I don’t like that. Globally, we have this huge, huge, massive banks. And they’re too big to fail. They’re too big to fail. And nobody should be too big to fail. When you have all of these giants, it’s not good because they’re basically taking the whole economy hostage. It’s like either will fail and all of your businesses basically lose their deposits and your clients. And your citizens, but citizens are a bit more okay because the government can step in and do insurance, but business as the government doesn’t insured deposits. If you have a business and you you normally if you have a business that has some kind of revenue, you will normally have deposits over one hundred thousand euro. That is the insurance limit in the EU. In the US you have $250k but also. I mean if you have some kind of success, you survive more than one two years your business will get up to 250k in cash. I mean it’s it’s just natural. You have houses costing more than this in all kinds of countries. So yeah, it’s it’s more than likely that most businesses have more to lose than just 250. So look, this is big and we don’t want the banking space taking us all hostage because it’s basically, hey, you give us free money, you BellSouth. Otherwise, all of these guys failed. We will take them with us. And that’s why we need crypto guys. We need crypto so much. And in this episode, I also want to share with you this perspective. The reason why we’re seeing stable coins grow a lot is because more and more people are discovering that SABL guns are actually better dollars than dollars in your bank account. It’s simply look at how much you they see grew in the past 30 days by 50 percent. You see also used to see and used it to use tea waiting on the changes doubling over the last 30 days. And when we saw the sell off in the march, Yongsan that people didn’t really take out money from crypto. They just had it in stable coins. Why is it so? Well, obviously, because it’s easier to get back into crypto to trade. But most importantly, guess, this is what the boardrooms in the banks don’t talk about. This is what all of these bosses in the banks and the financial space are missing. And this is literally going to come out of nowhere and be their biggest problem very soon. Look, bad debt will not be their problem very soon is going to be this. The fact that you get higher interest rates if you have your dollars in a stable coin compared to normal dollar. So for example, Coinbase, you get one point twenty five percent on you as D.C. stable coin. And you of course have less than a tenth of a percent. If you have your dollars in Wells Fargo and look, it’s the same dollar basically is the same dollar. I mean, yes, with you as DC, you have a counterparty risk with Coinbase. But man here you have a huge counterparty risk with Wells Fargo. I mean, as I told you, they can also take the whole economy hostage if they are failing. So you have a huge counterparty risk here and you get a lot more reward in Coinbase. Now you have different lending options. You can lend and earn eight point six percent or on your UCSC with block fi in traditional finance. Nothing is comparable. It’s native to crypto. Obviously you can send money wherever you want. However you want to do whatever you want. You buy and sell crypto. You trade, you invest it. It’s way easier and way more smooth easily to convert it quickly to convert. You can hold UCSC on the sidelines and convert back to crypto money at any time. Is this are the big fundamentals on the why? On why? Ryan in this article speculates that Coinbase will flip to Wells Fargo. You know, we talk about the flippity that, for example, people sometimes speak about a theorem flipping that if it’s going to flip Bitcoin and be number one crypto or we’ll talk about that bitcoin S.V. might flip bitcoin cash and be more thwart more than bitcoin cash. Look, this is the most important flipping thing that all of this crypto banks, crypto exchanges such as Coinbase, because they have this newest infrastructure, they’re fully built on U.S. infrastructure, which is crypto, which is blockchain, where they have lensink, they have high interest rates, they have all this money markets. Where does this high interest rate conwell from? Money markets in DEFI in most cases. And normal banks don’t have that far away from that far, far away from that. So that’s the biggest thing. If Coinbase gets acquired by some day, my only question is, will it be Amazon or JP Morgan is either big take or big banking does gun that try to come into crypto and then he is talking about that is gonna flip bitcoin. But yeah, I don’t really I’m not really interested when Ryan starts talking about this. You know ethe better than bitcoin topic. I don’t really care about that. This I care about this I care a lot about not. What’s important to note is that we do have other right now going wild. Speaking of stable currency. Speaking of debt deathers going absolutely wild. You know that we covered the fact that recently we saw an increase in tother market cap by $1.5 billion, which means that they printed 1.5 billion new coins, which hopefully are back. Hopefully they have, of course, people depositing into Teather and that that’s why we see new tokens being printed. So that’s hopefully why that is. But you see that many people are basically seeing that this is like the Fed her money print. Gold, but nothing like this. And at the end of the day, you should have it. This is mine. You should, of course, have this in mind that there is no audit. It’s not transparent. But it’s been like that now for years. It’s been like that for years. And I feel that if they really had big issues, structural issues, we would already see them struggling a lot. And bitfinex, they are the masters of survival. They had so many big global global failures. They got hacked in 2016, could not pay back their depositors. What did they do? Issue a token, issued a token and then paid back everyone later. Wrong. And let me know if you actually was part of that. But just it’s an example of where someone in normal company, so to speak, with failed long, long ago, but they actually saved themselves from the catastrophe. And it feels that, look, we don’t have any insight. It’s not transparent. That is why I wouldn’t have too much in other guys. The other is amazing because, look, it’s liquid is the biggest cryptocurrency on the market in terms of liquidity. You can not even argue against that. It’s biggest in volume. It’s way bigger than bitcoin is the first to two billion in Teather thirty three and bitcoin. So in many cases this is most popular and most used, most popular and most use crypto on the market right now. Whether it’s going to be like that. I think so. I think is going to be like that in the future as well, especially because they are increasing market cap a lot as well. So now is a 6.3, even when you look at market cap. Look, I think that they are going to go past REPL very soon. They’re going to be number three here very, very soon. And then probably in a year or so, they’re going to also surpass, if it’s a question of time, because obviously they can print new tethers way quicker than the price of Ethe or X or peak and go up and you know that X or people do dumping and they’re even dumping. But these guys, they can really print a lot. Now, hopefully it’s backed. When I say print, I really mean that the people are depositing. That is what I hope happens. But we don’t know. Look, maybe they’re just printing. Do an audit and just do an audit. Open up your books. Let us see. Let us see. But that is still not happening, guys. That and they had attempts at audits. Was it erson Young? Or was it BWC that tried to audit them? But then they kind of stopped working. Di, what about dice? What about Di? Di is performing quite well in terms of the system’s stability. It is performing quite well and they have recovered fully since some scenes since their Black Thursday event. You can generate DI through defo. Exactly. I mean when people deposit eith into into setpiece new DI is getting generated. Now let’s move on to the freedomto topic and I have a lot to discuss because look, you can not really look back this and say discuss in the introduction. And so can you guess remind me, is this a constitution or independence? Declaration of Independence. Let me know in the chat. Let’s do some history lessons. But this is basically founding fathers of of the US. So just like I told you, you understand that when you have both is both us or like. So it’s both Declaration of Independence and cost. OK. C is both in one. So they assembled. They really risked their lives to establish this new nation, which, by the way, has been the most successful in the past few few hundreds of years. But now it feels unfortunately like all empires, you know, are a lot of success and less like we discussed a few days ago, that you have this decline as well, because people relax, people get more expensive. They don’t work as hard. They have more and more debt. So unfortunately, that is what’s happening. But you cannot deny the success over the past 200 years. And, you know, when they did this, obviously, they meant they meant that this should hold even in bad times, even when you have a virus, nobody came in and said, hey, just to be clear, none of this matters if there is a virus. So that’s what scares me. When you look at this, for example, it’s in Swedish SABL, not spend a lot of time, but they will just show you the main things. This is happening worldwide now. They’re going to basically now try to push a law, a temporary law for three months where it’s a power grab 100 percent. The government alone without the parliament will be able to shut down meetings and the closed down infrastructure. However they want. They can shut down specific businesses however they want. They can them re read what is called you redistribute. You redistribute private health resources. So basically, if you have a private company, you work in the health industry, you might be wrecked by the government, basically. They will take your stuff and redistribute. And yes, I mean, this is an article that is very critical against this whole thing, basic saying that, look, it’s not even proportional. What’s going on? I mean, for them to do this, man, it’s not like it’s not proportional to the crisis we have. They haven’t analyzed the consequences. And they’re saying it’s gonna be for three months. But the article says that tape, three months, probably nothing’s going to change in terms of the virus. So probably it’s going to be prolonged. Look, it’s always like that they do something temporary and then they don’t remove it or they remove it. 20 years later, it’s like the tax in Sweden. You know, the highest income tax, highest income bracket. It was actually established in the 90s. And it was also just to handle the crisis, the economic crisis during the 90s. This highest brackets tax, but it just got removed. This year, it took them 30 years until they removed it 25, 30 years. So you understand that whenever something is temperament, it can be temporary for twenty five years because people get used. People get relaxed. They always gave away powers. Nobody’s even discussing that. Soon they’re gonna be there’s gonna be new. They’re gonna be new news, new big headlines. Nobody’s even going to talk about the fact that we have a power grab that happened during the crisis, because now people care about other stuff. Each and every year, there’s always new stuff to care about on the news. And so right now, it’s a big topic. But, hey, they sneak this in, who’s going to remove it? Who’s going to create the news? Who’s going to create the news? A flurry around this thing to remove it later. Nobody’s. Nobody. We’re going to care about some other stuff. Maybe it’s like a Tokyo Olympics. We’re going to care about or we’re going to care about some other crisis. It’s election. Obviously, everyone’s going to talk about the U.S. election even here, man. People care more about the tramp here in Sweden than you care about in the US. I can assure you that we follow elections step by step by step here. It’s very popular. So you understand that, hey, people are not going to talk about it in a few weeks. So if this gets passed, it’s very dangerous. You will not get it back. You think you will not get it back? Maybe in 25 years, like with the highest income tax bracket, it took 25 years for them to remove it, which was also temporary for the nineties crisis. Yemen. That is how it is. If you pay tax on land, are you really the owners say, says Zoid Salt and not really. Not really. And that is why Sweden in some cases is also a tax paradise. I mean, believe it or not, I know it sounds insane. It’s definitely not a tax practice if you are just earning your money. If you have salary, man, you are being absolutely taken advantage of with taxes. You pay all of Delek tax if you already have capital. Sweden is very good. I mean, believe it or not, it’s very good because no one basically zero capital gains, basically zero capital gains. Number two, no real estate tax, no property tax, no wealth tax, no inheritance tax. I mean, there you see the branding. And the reality is different because obviously we want rich people here. We want them to come to take their money. And then we tell the working class that we’re socialists so they don’t a revolt with we tell them, guys, we’re socialists, we’re working for you. But you pay all the taxes, by the way, by the way. So it’s not good when you’re just earning your money and you’re building capital if you already have capital. We’re open. Open arms, guys. Open arms. Come, come here. But if you’re building your capital yet, that’s where you get the most you get taken advantage of. So, yes, if you have capital gains, you know where to go. Not Panama, not Switzerland. No, Cayman Island. It’s Sweden. I mean, believe it or not, it is it is like that. Now, hopefully, they will not mess this environment up because I feel that they might like pull back, take back the property tax or something. They might destroy it because, look, it’s it might seem popular in the moment. And it’s always like that. Look, when you have crisis, people are scared. You see a lot of populism. Look at Argentina right now, basically defaulting for the ninth time. There is a saying three things in life. Are certain, number one, death that certain taxes. That’s that certain. And another one is Argentina. Default is going to happen again. And now to my understanding, this hasn’t really happened, but is basically de facto happened. But not that officially they didn’t declare bankruptcy and default officially, but they basically stop stop paying their debts. So really, what is the definition of default? So look what will happen when you see this in your country. Because when people are scared, when you see like countries defaulting and stuff, that’s when you see a lot of short term bad political decisions which might even lead to authoritarian regimes. I know it sounds a bit far fetched. Maybe it sounds a bit crazy, but they look at the Great Depression. It’s literally caused the the Germany to become what Germany became in the thirties. You all know that. And look at that documentary is how how that the power, authoritarian power grew in Germany during the thirties. They literally was eradicated almost almost before the Great Depression hit. And then you saw economic collapse in Germany as well. So, look, it’s it’s a pretty. Be ready for this. And that’s why I hope, man, if you are anywhere in. The world and you have a private hospital or a private clinic or something. I hope you have a bit of Bitcoin because like I showed you this power grab article in Sweden, the Oregon account for your assets there, they’re going to do that because now they need to seem strong. Your government interest is strong because the population demands it. And to take, you know, health resources from this greedy capitalistic Cosby, greedy capitalistic hospitals who just want profit. You want profit. Now give us all your assets. That’s what they’re gonna tell you. And you have worked 20 years. Maybe you spent nights, days. You took risks. You took a lot of investment put into your health company, a health clinic. But you’re going to be painted as greedy capitalist. If if you don’t like, give them stuff. So, look, beware. Have some bitcoin like. Just to be sure. Because the bitcoin is biscoe. You have your private key. And that’s how it is. That’s how it is. Healthcare should not be for profit, says Andrews. Well, maybe not. Look, it’s not a political channel, but if you have somebody who has already built up their company, their clinic, then you should offer him a good price too. To sell that you should. Basically, if you really want to abolish private health in your county, in your country, which might be a political decision, you should be a lot like you should really play or pay overprice to all of these guys who have private health cleanings because, look, they worked that they took risks and stuff and they built that business. So I know. Look, it’s not a political channel, but you get it. I’m just giving you a bit of insight into the fact that if you have some Bitcoin, you have your private key, you have them, you have them. There is no way to really, really, really do anything about that. So, yeah, think about that solid crypto man superjet. Amazing. The land owners will flee. They will dump their overpriced assets on the market. And the nation will stay with all the poor people and they will take their assets to survive. Yeah, I think that is a big, big possibility. Thank you, by the way, for superjet. And let me talk a bit about that, because I’ve also been thinking about it and the fact that we see Singapore, we see Switzerland. I mean, there are many of these countries that are amazing. If you have capital like Sweden is also good. Sweden is also good. But sometimes we have all kinds of this, you know, power grabs. But what you’re saying is that, look. Yes. If you are successful, you have an easier way of moving. You can move anywhere. But it also depends on which business you have. Like it might be difficult to move your business assets because you have to employ employees and you might have real estate and the factories and stuff. So at the end of the day, it might not be as easy, but it is easier than ever. Of course. Go to Singapore. Go to hell. Maybe not Hong Kong, because you know what’s going to happen during a few years. But you go Switzerland. Singapore is somewhere where you’re more welcome. So that’s that’s of course, true. Okay, guys, moving on. Moving on, moving on to next. The next situation will have A M M V are V values for eath. I just want to cover it quickly. This is basically showing you whether EIF is undervalued or overvalued and this is in any crypto you can do this analysis. So I just want to show you that right now we are at zero point eighty three. So it basically means that we are undervalued. The price of ethe is eighty three percent of kind of the fair price according to this metric. So what does this metric show? Well, basically it shows the difference between the normal market cap. You know, how we normally calculate market cap would take a number of coins times the price you get market cap. So you take that and you compare it to the so-called realized market cap because realized market cap, it doesn’t treat all coins the same way. So if you have a coin that has been lost, depravities is lost or is just a very strong hodler that’s not going to move his or her coins. That coin is not priced in the same way as a coin that recently moved because that’s recently moved coin probably will be dumped very soon. So you see a lot of trading with like this recently moved coins and not a lot of trading and not a lot of selling in particular is selling with these coins that are being not touched at all. So realize the market cap is really taking into consideration that all coins are not similar. So when we divide real normal market cap, I mean, just taking price times, number of coins and we divide divided by realize market cap where price of each coin is not the price of today that you see on the coin geko or coin pre-K. It’s not the spot price, but price of each coin is the price. When that coin last moved, when that coin last moved, you get this metric. That is M.V. r.V. And why is it useful? I mean, why would we do it? Well, you can think about it in this way. In this perspective that basically this. Is the value this real market cap. It removes all of the short term hysteria or all of the short term emotions and gives more weight to hurdlers, it gives more weight to people who are really here seriously who are really here seriously. So this is the biggest thing because we basically remove all of the, you know, folie fear of losing everything when people are just dumping or when price moves up a lot like crazy. We remove all of the formal from the calculation and we kind of are left with the reasonable fair price of bitcoin. If you just don’t look at the past craziness in the market. So this is what this metric shows. M.V. Ηarvey metric in glass NOAD and this is on Chane indicator. It basically shows that right now the real the real market cap, like the normal common market cap is just 84 percent of the fare of the fair balanced market cap, like if you remove all of the short term hysteria with sell offs. The balanced market cap, if you have a balanced view, it should be 20 percent higher in eith. So by the way, you can get all of these indicators and so many more. I mean they have hundreds of these indicators on glasnost and you can get most of them for free if you go to I went to the com slash deals and you click here, you click click your glass note on chain indicators. So I would overcome such deals. You can get that. And what else is important is this you can do the same analysis with bitcoin. So we have a bitcoin M.V. Ηarvey ratio and you see seven day moving average here. We’re already a bit above it. Here we are already a bit above it. So right now, bitcoin market cap is 1.2 compared to kind of the balance market cap. But look, when we go into the 2s and especially when I go into the forest and 3s, that is when you truly see overvaluation. So keep in mind you should use it together with other indicators. And there are different ways to look at this. I mean, you have mvr V, you have short term and long term mvr V. So if you look at, for example, at the short term mvr V. It only shows the last one hundred and fifty five days here were still undervalued. So you can experiment with it. If you look at only the past one, there’s 55 days and you see that you only you only take into consideration how and how coins moved during that time. And that is your balance market cap. You see that we’re still undervalued. So there are many different ways to look at this. So experiment try to find your own way of viewing the market. And if you look at long term, you only look at coins that are older than 1055 days, then we are already a bit overvalued because look, I find this so interesting, all of this on Chane indicators. And finally, before we go into the Q&A, I just want to show you this, how it feels exploring seemingly endless world of opportunities on the theorem. And that’s exactly how it feels like, man. Whenever I read about a new protocol or a new system or a new way of doing things with stable coins, it’s it’s so mindblowing and there’s so much to learn. I mean, I don’t even know everything. Nobody knows everything. It’s so much to learn, so much to see how derivative synthetics, stable coins, lending, interest rates, capital markets, money markets like it’s all decentralized, all in the blockchain. And literally, this is as you guys were flying over it. And then this glider is good morning, crypto, because we’re together using this show as a vehicle to fly and see this whole crypto landscape. And this is crypto like all of the mountains. It’s insane saying it’s how much we’re seeing. I’ve never seen anything like this in any industry. And we’re building it as we’re going. Now, finally before Q&A, guys, I want to talk about this, that the economy is dependent on at least half of the citizens not understanding how mining works. If ever understood the game of money, the system would break. This is so true. Why? Because then more and more people would understand the Cantillon effect. Once again, it’s all about the concealer and the fact if you don’t know what it is. Google it. I will explain to shortly. Concealer and effect is that if you have good credit score, you have good connection with the banks. You get freshly printed fiat. You get freshly printed theearth. You can push up the asset prices because you were the first to use that freshly printed fiat because it enters the circulation. You can buy up all of the assets. That is why real estate is so expensive in all countries. And look, it’s just a few people holding all of it because they are the ones with connections. If you’re a young person today, you cannot even move out of your parents house. In most cases in the Western world, not possible because of concealing an effect, because it cannot go and get freshly printed fiat. You’re not allowed. And whenever you hear that there are low interest rates removing too negative interest rates. Well, they’re not for you guys. They’re not for me, either. They’re not for us. They’re for a very exclusive club of people who can get this free money, who can get this basically chip free money and buy up assets and then invest it. Course, they invest it into assets that give them monthly cash flow and get monthly income so they can go and they can get even more of this free shipping. So it’s like a never ending circle. Please keep attention. Pay attention. Look, if more people understood it, obviously the system would not work. Then everyone would understand that it is actually rigged against you. It’s rigged against you if you do not participate in in credit like you have to have credit to participate in this and to gain advantage over this. Most people are instead taught that you should save, you know, save up your money for a rainy day. This and that. But you’re actually the loser if you do it in the current in the current fiat system, because you’re basically getting getting taken advantage of through the Cantillon effect. They dilute your value and give it to a guy who just took that chip and a chip close to zero percent loan. That basically what happens to your savings. You give it away. Guess if you save and it shouldn’t be like that. I mean, look, if you have money, you should be able to save it. I think it should be. I like saving as well, but I understand that it’s stupid in the current environment of off of you just hoarding fiat. You should save instead in ass’s. That is that is how you save in the current fiat system. You have real estate income producing you to have the stocks dividend producing. You each have some kind of thing that gives you monthly income because fiat is worthless is because worthless by the second. So that is why saving is good. Even in fiat system. But not you not saving fiat. You get to save assets. Now another of the nation from solid crypto man, our own superjet. My heart literally warms up when I see you guys using Superjet because it’s ours. We fricking built it. It still has a few bugs. Like I think some of you may be tried, didn’t work, but is gonna work better day by day. You’re gonna see how much better it will be in just a few days because we’re working on it every day. Like OK. Solid grip too. Have you read the road to Financial Freedom? Unfortunately, I haven’t. Is it good? If yes, I will write it down the road to financial freedom. Can anyone send me the link to 10-X? Guys, go and return extra-large. It’s even free on youtube. You can find it. It’s the best book I’ve ever I’ve ever like. It’s the best book. Go and read it. Right. It’s an audible. Yes, an audible. I use all the ball I use I books like Atrians thing about you can also get it for free on YouTube so you can find it to learn about money. Human 6 features of money is a must to watch this for. Yes, you are correct. Yes. Yes indeed. I cannot be sorry about the evil. A product will ave is a defi is. It’s a defi protocol. The most important feature that really distinguishes them from many others is their flash loan capability. So you know, we talk about flash long eve supports flash long. So that’s the most important. It’s all about money markets. It’s all about you having liquidity markets. So it is is doing that. Let’s see if I can find it. Is it all a. Yeah. So open source defi product. But for me, the most important thing with them is, is the flashfloods like they have a can spend 1 to 1 with underlying assets. They have res switching flash loans, of course. I think they’re gonna be big. I think they’re gonna be absolutely big. But what I don’t know. Do they have the or they don’t have their own coin or they do or is just like a union swap, like a protocol man were pumping? Or are we. Yemen? We are. I think yeah. We started this at seven point two I think. But not to get distracted. I dont think they have their own coin. I’ll document. Got it. Got it. I like. Thanks. Thanks. Eh. A way. A way. How did you do that? Eve or anyway. I think the most important feature of them is the and what really distinguishes them. It is that flash loan thing, you know that we are creating our defi to a one course and we’re gonna do practical defi in our academy aswell practical up to a practical flashfloods. We have already a lot of practical defi with defi one, the one where we teach you how to use them all defi products that are important and the old different products like you swaption tactics rad. That really a lot. A lot, a lot. A lot. We teach you how to use and how they work in our different on the one course. Go check kazimir. What I’m saying. Gabrielle, why don’t you make an episode with Amadeu Brands? Nice would be a cool Yemen. It sounds amazing. I might see. Would love that. I think he would love that. I would also love that. I think he’s even listening. Amadeu. Let me know in the chat if you’re listening. But yeah, that will be very interesting. And people love that course. People loved that course a lot that we did together with Manziel. And the next one is gonna be more about that. Maybe show you practically how to create flash loans, how to get millions of dollars in a transaction. But you have to repaid back within the same transaction if but you can use it in arbitration, so and so forth. Even if if you want to help local business with DEFI, what would you should suggest some sort of crypto along? Well, for now you don’t really. I mean you can get. You can not. Get the money out of thin air. You need to have collateral. So, yeah, that’s that that’s not really applique applicable if your business is struggling. So does the only thing we need. Andrew collateralized loans and they are coming. But for now we only have over collateralized loans. I guess I want to remind you if you haven’t. Go to our webinar. You’ll find the link below. So go and check it. Right now we’re talking about how to stack massive amounts of SATs. Absolutely massive during the bull market. And it’s a free webinar. So you don’t you don’t need to pay anything. And join us if you haven’t been in the webinar before. And if you’re not in that chasm yet, go and join this to date. And we’re going to do it on April the twenty ninth. So go enjoy to today is if the company just accepts crypto, it can help them. Well, yes, you can get the the interest rates from Defi. That’s true. That’s true. But they still gonna be life changing like overnight. It’s not gonna be this emergency loan that many businesses need right now. They need emergency loans. Ivan, I heard many top public companies are doing are going private. And all that will be left is penny stock companies. How will this affect stock and crypto markets? To be honest with you, I haven’t really seen that. Why? Why would they? Let’s see it. Let’s see it. Corporations going private. I haven’t really seen anything about that. Why are you saying that? Maybe you can link. Because I haven’t I haven’t really seen that. I don’t really think it’s in their interest, to be honest. Why would it be? Why would it be? It would be difficult for them to issue new. I mean, maybe for fi. I don’t know. Let me know. I need to think more about it. Heard it from Max Kaiser show. Oh, wow. Yeah. Okay. I will check. I like Max Keiser. He talks about continue in effect a lot. Shill, both shill. But bannings. I agree. But when we reach the peak of bull market, you can use that money to invest in something else. Oh, you mean the Alexander is talking about the bull and be embarass cycles? Lots of companies are doing pride because of over. Oh, yeah. That makes sense. That makes sense. They will do a token maybe. I don’t know. Look at Bynum’s BMB. Don’t even have to follow regulation. I don’t know what’s going to happen, guys to be on B. I have B and B because I think violence is doing a great job. But it’s just like men. They’re burning tokens based on revenue. How is that not a security? But I like that it’s not a security. Maybe it will be a security. It’s not class like. They’re not getting in trouble for it. I don’t know really how how how that works. I mean, why. A lot of other companies and alot of other players like it block when they are in trouble. But Bynum’s isn’t it? I mean that’s fascinating. And look, it’s good like the fact that you have all the securities regulation is actually quite restricting. Like how else would you get that piece of balance. Success. Impossible, impossible with their coin. Anyone can do it as long. But of course there is a trust element. You need to trust that they will keep bringing the supply based on them, based on their profits, and also that you can use the coin to get lower fees and all of that. Okay. Yes, I think that’s it for today. Thank you so much for being here yet again. I really, really appreciate that you. Thank you. Especially all of you who tried the superjet. It truly warms my heart that we can do this better testing. And it’s amazing. And look, you’re gonna be amazed how how much better it will be, because now we just have like a basic thing. We have to input fields like for the text and for the number. But there’s gotta be way prettier. He’s gonna be like fireworks. I told you. But we have a few more bugs to fix. So maybe like in a week we’ll see if we’re working each and every day. So it’s gonna work out even smoother, even smoother. So, guys, thank you so much. So thank you so much for being here. If you are on YouTube, go to the dot com slash live N8 being sheltered to N8 for doing timestamps. Thanks so much for sending in big shout to Gabbar for working like crazy to make super chat’s happen without Gabbar looking super just would not work. So thank you so much and I’ll see you all very, very soon. Goodbye. Goodbye. Kiss goodbye. Goodbye.

EU BANKS COLLAPSING!!! Bitcoin, Defi, ETH Undervalued (Still)

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

And we’re alive. Yes. Welcome to another episode of Good Morning Crypt, the here on an Ivan Ontake. We are, of course, broadcasting live straight out of Stockholm, Sweden. And we do this show each and every day at 8 a.m. Central European Time as I come to like an atomic location every day. Look, we have so much to discuss. We have EU banking space really crumbling, really, really crumbling. And it does a lot to do, a lot to fix. And look, at the end of the day, we might see a bank run and we might see the whole system really, really collapsing. That is the Worst-Case scenario. And we’re going to look at some very important data that is new data that we have. This article basically saying that eight European banks prepared for a crisis, but not this one. And this is from New York Times. So, look, we have been preparing in the EU, but of the magnitude of what’s going on right now is simply not comparable to anything that we have drilled for. Because this is not the drill, guys. This is absolutely not a drill. But to be honest with you, you know, what’s funny is that this current situation is not even the biggest issue. It’s not even the biggest threat to banking worldwide. It is crypto. And it’s not only Bitcoin. We will have a flip inning soon in the world of finance where stable coins will be used more than normal dollars. You know why? Because you can get interest. You can free to transact however you want is frictionless. And we’ll read important reports about this situation as well, that many people aren’t even cashing out their stable coins anymore. They’re being fui. They’re being fully integrated into crypto and they’re being fully stocked encrypt and stuck by their own wish. They’re stuck because crypto is so good. So I don’t want to pull out their stable coins, as we’ll see today in the research and in the numbers. So, guys, there’s going to be the first stoppage. The second topic is actually going to be about undervaluation, because I want to show to some unchained statistics on chained data to today. But we’ll be looking at Glass A.. And we will be checking a specific metric, gold M V or V. So I will teach you about this metric that basically shows undervaluation or overvaluation in coins. I will explain to you how this metric works and why it’s important to know and to use together with other. Together with other indicators, of course. But this one is big. So if you don’t know M V are V and how to use it in EIF, how to use it in bitcoin. Stay tuned because it’s own chain. It’s very important data that you and I need to know and that you will understand why even today, even today eith is undervalued. According to this metric and why you always should follow it. Because when it turns overvalued, that’s when you also can use it as a signal in your strategies. So definitely keep that in mind. So that’s going to be the second topic. And then finally, I guess I want to discuss freedoms. I want to discuss freedoms because freedoms are being taken away from us in so many different ways and on so many different levels right now. And the reason is because people are scared. Whenever people are scared, they give away all freedoms. And today, I will be showing to example from our country, from Sweden, where the government basically wants to have this insane law that will give them all all kinds of power. For example, they can shut down whatever business they want or they can probably also tell a business exactly what they should do. Obviously, they’re mostly talking about like private hospitals and private health companies. And within that area to try to combat the virus. But look, this is so dangerous. And that is why I feel that this meme you saw amazing that, hey, you have these founding fathers basically creating the basis of the United States of America, creating the fundamental the fundamental core values. But then, you know, just to be clear, none of this matters. None of this applies if there is a virus that is still fighting. And that is exactly true. I mean, all of our freedoms basically don’t apply and if there is a virus. So imagine if that was the case. If these guys get guys by just, you know, everything that we’ve written, none of this matters. If there is a virus. So keep it in mind. So that’s a lot of questions. And especially in countries like Argentina that are close to default, they’re literally defaulting right now. We will see even more power power grab from the government. It always happens and it always will happen when people are scared. So please keep that in mind. Please be aware and be on your top performance in terms of monitoring this and also the end that you might have to do some action. You might, for example, have to protect your assets because they might be confiscated. Imagine situation, for example, in Argentina, but hell, even in Sweden. Imagine you run a health care company. And now the government has probably if this law passes, which it probably will pass, they have the power to basically tell you exactly what you should do and even shut you down and take your assets. Look, it’s terrible. It’s terrible. So it’s a big. And we have to discuss. But guess that being said, welcome, everyone who is watching this live. Welcome, welcome, guys. We’re streaming live on. I’m a little dot com slash alive if you’re watching this show. Used to be I’ve already missed the whole show. I don’t know why you’re doing that, because you should go to the concession fleshlight. Subscribe. There you see read subscribe button. You should have alerts. And they both you should have notifications in telegram and they bolt, if you like, dark mold. You can even get dark mold. We do have super chats right now in our own chat where we don’t share with anyone. Look, why should we share with YouTube or someone when we have our own supercharged built in? And as you can see, it wasn’t that difficult. And so when YouTube they provide the super chat feature, in reality, they’re doing a simple feature. But charging so much, man, charging so much. And then, you know, after that, you have to pay tax. So you as a creator, basically get less than half. Less than half. So, yeah. That’s insane. That’s why more and more creators should think like we do take back control, take back their super Rennet, see and move to their own platforms. Now, guests welcome everyone who is always watching. I see group to huddle. I see shil. But I see all this. I see it, man. I see Krypto Michaelmas Day. Guys, welcome. Gabbar. A rave. The Mass. Welcome, welcome. Welcome. Jewel Vining. Michael Gulp by Ron natha Leavelle. Yeah, I see you writing something about the scroll thing. Email us E.M.S. instead of Superchunk from Bitter Group. This man is our own superjet and you know that this is the first day we have super chat and to morrow we’ll even add more feature. So when people do a superjet through will be like fireworks. I don’t know. There should be something cool. Maybe the whole screen does a backflip. There should be something amazing because we can control everything that happens on this screen, on this website where we have the Lifestream. So we will really, really do that when you do a superjet. Man, your brain will basically just while you will see all of these things happening. We’ll see. We’ll see. Guys, I’m pumped. As you can see, I’m pumped. So I’m looking at the news. We do have some sad news embittered by the very seriousness where seeing of seriousness. We do have Johnson, the prime minister of Great Britain, right now in intensive care unit for the illness. You know, the global virus. And it look it serious. It’s not a joke. And he was one of the people who really underplayed the whole situation. And many people. I mean, even before I got the information from my mom, who works in the hospital here in Sweden about how severe it is, it was difficult to understand, like the severe illness of this issue, because just a month ago, most of us didn’t have anyone who had Corona in their in their family or in their kind of close proximity. But now you see it everywhere. Now you see it everywhere. So it’s definitely not a drill, to be honest, is definitely not a drill. So, unfortunately, Johnson, you remember he went even to hospitals where he said, hey, I shook hands with everyone. It was amazing. We had the great time. I’m not really worried about this whole virus, but unfortunately, look, nobody is too strong for this. Nobody is saved. So let’s go up to thank you for superjet spending my helicopter money. Exactly. And the previous super shot was from Peter Grewal is saying watching videos already in that Kasman. Thanks, Matt. Thanks, Matt. Appreciate it. Now, this is serious. Guess this is something that right now you cannot even underplay it like we do have this conspiracy theories sometimes claiming that it’s like for some reason five G is involved in this virus. But please, guys, come to your senses. Look at Iran. They have five G there. Absolutely not. So I just saw a lot of talk about this five g to me. Nonsense to me, nonsense. And you know, in the chat, if you agree with that or I’m not looking at bitcoin web, amazing day, you know, that we’ve pumped quite significantly yesterday. We have 3.7 percent in bitcoin. We have thirteen point four percent in for thirteen point four. So one of the most performing points today is actually eath. We have X RPI 6.9. All in all, very bullish guys. Very, very, very bullish. Looking out the top gainers. Where did you buy it for coin? In-shore bitcoin and the biggest losers today are not even a month like five losers. What is this? I see some people in the chat saying that Iran, in fact, does have 5G G. Well, there you go. There you go. Don’t underestimate 5G. And look, London real will sensor. Did you see that interview? There was this guy talking about this whole situation. He got censored. But to me, it’s still nonsense. Still nonsense. Maybe you guys can convince me. Let me know. Let me know. Now, looking in the in the markets, I’m looking at the exchanges. You know that we do have collaboration with binded and themit’s. You can trade bitcoin. If you do use X-ART, be on the by bit. You can do that plus a link, Tasos Light on and gold. You can even trade the real gold on on Femm X. And if you use the link below, you go to best crypto deals. If you are in YouTube you see like crypto deals link. You get there, you get some good starting package. So definitely do that. Go there right now. And yeah, you can long, you can short, you can use leverage up to 100x if you’re careful. Look, why does this only make sense on small time frames? And if you have good risk management and if you know what you’re doing. Otherwise, look, it’s dangerous. Of course it’s dangerous. It’s like having a camera always tell you you can have a hammer and you can hammer a nail or you can hammer your finger nail. So obviously, a hammer can be used for both things, just like this whole situation with biblethump Fenwick’s. And we do have another installment of our free webinar where we will be discussing how to stack massive amounts of SAS in this coming bull market. And who gets bull markets is here. It is already here, but it just difficult to see. And there’s going to be in a few weeks on April the twenty ninth. Go and find the link below. Just look below. You’ll see, you’ll see this webinar link. So definitely go and join straightaway. Straightaway. Now looking at the Europe guys, this is kind of the main topic. You know that Europe hasn’t really been performing well in terms of banking. And there are many issues. There are many, many issues. I think the biggest issue is the fact that we still haven’t truly recovered from 2000 and the eighth collapse. We’re still kind of trying to patch. We’re trying to patch everything that broke at that time. And look, the reason why we struggled is because the whole system is very fragile. And it’s just insane how fragile this whole system of money is. It’s the most important technology in the world. munya, by the way, money is a technology, but you understand that any minute your biggest banks in your country can fail at any minute. They can do that. You even have the government trying to come in, step in, trying to insure all of these banks who are private corporations. They’re private corporations, yet they’re too big to fail. So the government basically needs to give them free money if they fail and if they are going to fail, you know all about bailouts by now. So is this weird system that can not be here in the future? The fact that all of these companies, because they are companies, they’re handling everyone’s money and at moments notice they can mess up and then can fail and take everyone’s funds with them. Of course, the government may step in and give a bit back in the insurance, of course. But look, if you have a company that insurance is nothing. If you have a company, that insurance is absolutely nothing. So in reality, if you really look at the most important parts of society, like small business, like corporations, like not of this too big to fail corporations, but successful, successful businesses, they are most important parts in the society and their well-being is basically tied up into the banking space. So that’s very important. That’s what’s important to understand now. And we’re seeing something that we’ve never really seen before, this kind of slow down in the economy. And it’s very unprecedented. You know, in the US, we have 10 million and the unemployed, the claims it’s ever done, it’s been in decades, decades, decades and decades, the biggest ever. And obviously we’re seeing a similar thing in the EU in regards to spending. People are not really spending a lot. A lot of restaurants are closing, businesses closing, people getting fired left and right. We just hired we just hired a smart guy in our company and he was fired because he just was switching jobs and he just got fired by the new employer because they basically couldn’t hire new people. So he was going to start his. He has good skills. He has a good brain. But he also got basically fired even even before he could start. So we’re seeing it left and right. People with education, people without education fired or they’re just let go. And the government base a bit of their salary. So it’s happening left and right now. We haven’t yet seen any any import done that debt default. We haven’t even seen the bad debt yet. And yet this the system is already crumbling. But the bad debt is gonna come in a few months when, for example, the government stops paying people salaries like they do right now, at least in in Europe, it’s very common. In the US, you have more like an airdrop to all citizens. You get a few free court coins, freshly mined coins. You’re getting an airdrop in that you have a bit different system because you don’t lose your job because you’re still employed. But it just that you don’t work and the company doesn’t pay you all salary. They just pay 50 percent of your salary. You still work 40 percent and then the government comes in and base another forty two percent of your salary. So all in all, the employer. Fifty percent base you the government pays two. So you have 92 percent of your salary, but you only work 40 percent. Obviously, that’s not sustainable. That’s not going to go far, guys. It’s a few months and then that’s it. And then that’s it. What will happen when that happens? What will happen when the government stops giving people free money, free airdrop for this kind of behavior of just being home? And there look, no doubt that the. Lazy. That is nothing to do. There’s no consumption. So what are they gonna do? The companies don’t even have work for them. There is no business. So when the government removes this 42 percent of the salary that they’re right now paying in in Sweden at least, and in other EU countries, it’s very it’s very similar. It’s a very similar system in the US is different. Just airdrop in the EU is more that you’re not getting even fired, but you get the big portion of your salary paid by government. You don’t have to work. So look, when that when that stops, obviously, people will first and foremost stop consumption. They will stop consumption even more because they don’t want to lose their house. They don’t want to lose their apartment. So that is the second step in the first step. They will stop consuming. They will really, really cut down on everything. That is when the businesses will start to default on their debts. That is when the banking sector will really struggle as well, because now they just have bad debt. They don’t have good assets. You know, debt is an asset is an asset for the banks, but bad debt is just the bad debts. You don’t get anything for it. If the if the if your if the people you’re lending to, they just default. So it’s very dangerous for the banking system as a whole. The situation we’re seeing unfold now, that is the first step. The second step would be the real estate market. And you know how deep the banks are into real estate as well. So they’re going to be hit twice, two fold. Number one, people so consuming. Number two, when you cut all consumption, you’re you’re still not getting enough money from your income. Income streams. Now, you might have to sell your your real estate. You might have to sell your residency. You might have to go and the rent. You might have to go and move back to your parents. So that’s why a real estate decline is also very probable. But that’s going to come after the limit that spending. And that is when businesses again. Again, really real struggle. And that’s when banks are also going to struggle even more, because now they have bad debt. So, look, banks are under pressure anywhere on the planet that the virus has spread to, which is virtually everywhere. So banks around the globe, if you think that this is only about the EU, think twice, think twice, especially in the US. We’ve also been covering it. In the U.S., you have small banks failing already. The problem is particularly acute in Europe because most banks never really recovered from 2008 from the last financial crisis. So look at Deutsche Bank, for example, is the only who is the only one that is still top 10 global banks, but they’re plagued with meager profitability, inefficient operations and continuing costs of cleaning up all the messes. I mean, there are a lot of scandals, a lot of issues, a lot of bad debt. And most importantly, most importantly, you know, my favorite old point, my favorite pump and dump all go in. It is it is this it is Deutschebank stock that went from one hundred and fourteen all the way now to five point eight guys. This is like ninety five percent. Can somebody quickly run the calculation of how much five is out of one hundred and fourteen. Just divide five by by one hundred fourteen and you’ll see the percentage like we’ve dropped ninety five plus percent in this client in this Deutschebank coin. All right. And this is the Loescher bank stock. Of course I’m just joking jokingly comparing it 4 percent now we’re just a 4 percent left from previous value. So 96 percent decline. It’s absolutely insane. Absolutely insane. So this is just gonna continue. Deutsche Bank is the strongest player in the EU and this is kind of how the strongest player looks like because they’re still ranked the top 10 within top down globally. And the EU doesn’t have any other real successful banks. I mean, you did have some U.K. banks, but now they’re no longer in the EU. You did have as well the Credit Suisse, but that is in Switzerland, but it’s in Europe. So it’s a difference between Europe and the EU. And look, Deutschebank is the largest eurozone lender among the top 10 investment banks globally and is based on revenue. And there you also have Barclays in UK and Credit Suisse. But that is in Switzerland. So Europe as a whole has more big global banks, but in the U.S. Just have one which is concerning, which is concerning. But in one way, I hope that it will it will be continue more towards that path moving forward before we completely move out of the banking space, before we completely move to to crypto. I mean, obviously, it’s going to take time, but I don’t like that. Globally, we have this huge, huge, massive banks. And they’re too big to fail. They’re too big to fail. And nobody should be too big to fail. When you have all of these giants, it’s not good because they’re basically taking the whole economy hostage. It’s like either will fail and all of your businesses basically lose their deposits and your clients. And your citizens, but citizens are a bit more okay because the government can step in and do insurance, but business as the government doesn’t insured deposits. If you have a business and you you normally if you have a business that has some kind of revenue, you will normally have deposits over one hundred thousand euro. That is the insurance limit in the EU. In the US you have $250k but also. I mean if you have some kind of success, you survive more than one two years your business will get up to 250k in cash. I mean it’s it’s just natural. You have houses costing more than this in all kinds of countries. So yeah, it’s it’s more than likely that most businesses have more to lose than just 250. So look, this is big and we don’t want the banking space taking us all hostage because it’s basically, hey, you give us free money, you BellSouth. Otherwise, all of these guys failed. We will take them with us. And that’s why we need crypto guys. We need crypto so much. And in this episode, I also want to share with you this perspective. The reason why we’re seeing stable coins grow a lot is because more and more people are discovering that SABL guns are actually better dollars than dollars in your bank account. It’s simply look at how much you they see grew in the past 30 days by 50 percent. You see also used to see and used it to use tea waiting on the changes doubling over the last 30 days. And when we saw the sell off in the march, Yongsan that people didn’t really take out money from crypto. They just had it in stable coins. Why is it so? Well, obviously, because it’s easier to get back into crypto to trade. But most importantly, guess, this is what the boardrooms in the banks don’t talk about. This is what all of these bosses in the banks and the financial space are missing. And this is literally going to come out of nowhere and be their biggest problem very soon. Look, bad debt will not be their problem very soon is going to be this. The fact that you get higher interest rates if you have your dollars in a stable coin compared to normal dollar. So for example, Coinbase, you get one point twenty five percent on you as D.C. stable coin. And you of course have less than a tenth of a percent. If you have your dollars in Wells Fargo and look, it’s the same dollar basically is the same dollar. I mean, yes, with you as DC, you have a counterparty risk with Coinbase. But man here you have a huge counterparty risk with Wells Fargo. I mean, as I told you, they can also take the whole economy hostage if they are failing. So you have a huge counterparty risk here and you get a lot more reward in Coinbase. Now you have different lending options. You can lend and earn eight point six percent or on your UCSC with block fi in traditional finance. Nothing is comparable. It’s native to crypto. Obviously you can send money wherever you want. However you want to do whatever you want. You buy and sell crypto. You trade, you invest it. It’s way easier and way more smooth easily to convert it quickly to convert. You can hold UCSC on the sidelines and convert back to crypto money at any time. Is this are the big fundamentals on the why? On why? Ryan in this article speculates that Coinbase will flip to Wells Fargo. You know, we talk about the flippity that, for example, people sometimes speak about a theorem flipping that if it’s going to flip Bitcoin and be number one crypto or we’ll talk about that bitcoin S.V. might flip bitcoin cash and be more thwart more than bitcoin cash. Look, this is the most important flipping thing that all of this crypto banks, crypto exchanges such as Coinbase, because they have this newest infrastructure, they’re fully built on U.S. infrastructure, which is crypto, which is blockchain, where they have lensink, they have high interest rates, they have all this money markets. Where does this high interest rate conwell from? Money markets in DEFI in most cases. And normal banks don’t have that far away from that far, far away from that. So that’s the biggest thing. If Coinbase gets acquired by some day, my only question is, will it be Amazon or JP Morgan is either big take or big banking does gun that try to come into crypto and then he is talking about that is gonna flip bitcoin. But yeah, I don’t really I’m not really interested when Ryan starts talking about this. You know ethe better than bitcoin topic. I don’t really care about that. This I care about this I care a lot about not. What’s important to note is that we do have other right now going wild. Speaking of stable currency. Speaking of debt deathers going absolutely wild. You know that we covered the fact that recently we saw an increase in tother market cap by $1.5 billion, which means that they printed 1.5 billion new coins, which hopefully are back. Hopefully they have, of course, people depositing into Teather and that that’s why we see new tokens being printed. So that’s hopefully why that is. But you see that many people are basically seeing that this is like the Fed her money print. Gold, but nothing like this. And at the end of the day, you should have it. This is mine. You should, of course, have this in mind that there is no audit. It’s not transparent. But it’s been like that now for years. It’s been like that for years. And I feel that if they really had big issues, structural issues, we would already see them struggling a lot. And bitfinex, they are the masters of survival. They had so many big global global failures. They got hacked in 2016, could not pay back their depositors. What did they do? Issue a token, issued a token and then paid back everyone later. Wrong. And let me know if you actually was part of that. But just it’s an example of where someone in normal company, so to speak, with failed long, long ago, but they actually saved themselves from the catastrophe. And it feels that, look, we don’t have any insight. It’s not transparent. That is why I wouldn’t have too much in other guys. The other is amazing because, look, it’s liquid is the biggest cryptocurrency on the market in terms of liquidity. You can not even argue against that. It’s biggest in volume. It’s way bigger than bitcoin is the first to two billion in Teather thirty three and bitcoin. So in many cases this is most popular and most used, most popular and most use crypto on the market right now. Whether it’s going to be like that. I think so. I think is going to be like that in the future as well, especially because they are increasing market cap a lot as well. So now is a 6.3, even when you look at market cap. Look, I think that they are going to go past REPL very soon. They’re going to be number three here very, very soon. And then probably in a year or so, they’re going to also surpass, if it’s a question of time, because obviously they can print new tethers way quicker than the price of Ethe or X or peak and go up and you know that X or people do dumping and they’re even dumping. But these guys, they can really print a lot. Now, hopefully it’s backed. When I say print, I really mean that the people are depositing. That is what I hope happens. But we don’t know. Look, maybe they’re just printing. Do an audit and just do an audit. Open up your books. Let us see. Let us see. But that is still not happening, guys. That and they had attempts at audits. Was it erson Young? Or was it BWC that tried to audit them? But then they kind of stopped working. Di, what about dice? What about Di? Di is performing quite well in terms of the system’s stability. It is performing quite well and they have recovered fully since some scenes since their Black Thursday event. You can generate DI through defo. Exactly. I mean when people deposit eith into into setpiece new DI is getting generated. Now let’s move on to the freedomto topic and I have a lot to discuss because look, you can not really look back this and say discuss in the introduction. And so can you guess remind me, is this a constitution or independence? Declaration of Independence. Let me know in the chat. Let’s do some history lessons. But this is basically founding fathers of of the US. So just like I told you, you understand that when you have both is both us or like. So it’s both Declaration of Independence and cost. OK. C is both in one. So they assembled. They really risked their lives to establish this new nation, which, by the way, has been the most successful in the past few few hundreds of years. But now it feels unfortunately like all empires, you know, are a lot of success and less like we discussed a few days ago, that you have this decline as well, because people relax, people get more expensive. They don’t work as hard. They have more and more debt. So unfortunately, that is what’s happening. But you cannot deny the success over the past 200 years. And, you know, when they did this, obviously, they meant they meant that this should hold even in bad times, even when you have a virus, nobody came in and said, hey, just to be clear, none of this matters if there is a virus. So that’s what scares me. When you look at this, for example, it’s in Swedish SABL, not spend a lot of time, but they will just show you the main things. This is happening worldwide now. They’re going to basically now try to push a law, a temporary law for three months where it’s a power grab 100 percent. The government alone without the parliament will be able to shut down meetings and the closed down infrastructure. However they want. They can shut down specific businesses however they want. They can them re read what is called you redistribute. You redistribute private health resources. So basically, if you have a private company, you work in the health industry, you might be wrecked by the government, basically. They will take your stuff and redistribute. And yes, I mean, this is an article that is very critical against this whole thing, basic saying that, look, it’s not even proportional. What’s going on? I mean, for them to do this, man, it’s not like it’s not proportional to the crisis we have. They haven’t analyzed the consequences. And they’re saying it’s gonna be for three months. But the article says that tape, three months, probably nothing’s going to change in terms of the virus. So probably it’s going to be prolonged. Look, it’s always like that they do something temporary and then they don’t remove it or they remove it. 20 years later, it’s like the tax in Sweden. You know, the highest income tax, highest income bracket. It was actually established in the 90s. And it was also just to handle the crisis, the economic crisis during the 90s. This highest brackets tax, but it just got removed. This year, it took them 30 years until they removed it 25, 30 years. So you understand that whenever something is temperament, it can be temporary for twenty five years because people get used. People get relaxed. They always gave away powers. Nobody’s even discussing that. Soon they’re gonna be there’s gonna be new. They’re gonna be new news, new big headlines. Nobody’s even going to talk about the fact that we have a power grab that happened during the crisis, because now people care about other stuff. Each and every year, there’s always new stuff to care about on the news. And so right now, it’s a big topic. But, hey, they sneak this in, who’s going to remove it? Who’s going to create the news? Who’s going to create the news? A flurry around this thing to remove it later. Nobody’s. Nobody. We’re going to care about some other stuff. Maybe it’s like a Tokyo Olympics. We’re going to care about or we’re going to care about some other crisis. It’s election. Obviously, everyone’s going to talk about the U.S. election even here, man. People care more about the tramp here in Sweden than you care about in the US. I can assure you that we follow elections step by step by step here. It’s very popular. So you understand that, hey, people are not going to talk about it in a few weeks. So if this gets passed, it’s very dangerous. You will not get it back. You think you will not get it back? Maybe in 25 years, like with the highest income tax bracket, it took 25 years for them to remove it, which was also temporary for the nineties crisis. Yemen. That is how it is. If you pay tax on land, are you really the owners say, says Zoid Salt and not really. Not really. And that is why Sweden in some cases is also a tax paradise. I mean, believe it or not, I know it sounds insane. It’s definitely not a tax practice if you are just earning your money. If you have salary, man, you are being absolutely taken advantage of with taxes. You pay all of Delek tax if you already have capital. Sweden is very good. I mean, believe it or not, it’s very good because no one basically zero capital gains, basically zero capital gains. Number two, no real estate tax, no property tax, no wealth tax, no inheritance tax. I mean, there you see the branding. And the reality is different because obviously we want rich people here. We want them to come to take their money. And then we tell the working class that we’re socialists so they don’t a revolt with we tell them, guys, we’re socialists, we’re working for you. But you pay all the taxes, by the way, by the way. So it’s not good when you’re just earning your money and you’re building capital if you already have capital. We’re open. Open arms, guys. Open arms. Come, come here. But if you’re building your capital yet, that’s where you get the most you get taken advantage of. So, yes, if you have capital gains, you know where to go. Not Panama, not Switzerland. No, Cayman Island. It’s Sweden. I mean, believe it or not, it is it is like that. Now, hopefully, they will not mess this environment up because I feel that they might like pull back, take back the property tax or something. They might destroy it because, look, it’s it might seem popular in the moment. And it’s always like that. Look, when you have crisis, people are scared. You see a lot of populism. Look at Argentina right now, basically defaulting for the ninth time. There is a saying three things in life. Are certain, number one, death that certain taxes. That’s that certain. And another one is Argentina. Default is going to happen again. And now to my understanding, this hasn’t really happened, but is basically de facto happened. But not that officially they didn’t declare bankruptcy and default officially, but they basically stop stop paying their debts. So really, what is the definition of default? So look what will happen when you see this in your country. Because when people are scared, when you see like countries defaulting and stuff, that’s when you see a lot of short term bad political decisions which might even lead to authoritarian regimes. I know it sounds a bit far fetched. Maybe it sounds a bit crazy, but they look at the Great Depression. It’s literally caused the the Germany to become what Germany became in the thirties. You all know that. And look at that documentary is how how that the power, authoritarian power grew in Germany during the thirties. They literally was eradicated almost almost before the Great Depression hit. And then you saw economic collapse in Germany as well. So, look, it’s it’s a pretty. Be ready for this. And that’s why I hope, man, if you are anywhere in. The world and you have a private hospital or a private clinic or something. I hope you have a bit of Bitcoin because like I showed you this power grab article in Sweden, the Oregon account for your assets there, they’re going to do that because now they need to seem strong. Your government interest is strong because the population demands it. And to take, you know, health resources from this greedy capitalistic Cosby, greedy capitalistic hospitals who just want profit. You want profit. Now give us all your assets. That’s what they’re gonna tell you. And you have worked 20 years. Maybe you spent nights, days. You took risks. You took a lot of investment put into your health company, a health clinic. But you’re going to be painted as greedy capitalist. If if you don’t like, give them stuff. So, look, beware. Have some bitcoin like. Just to be sure. Because the bitcoin is biscoe. You have your private key. And that’s how it is. That’s how it is. Healthcare should not be for profit, says Andrews. Well, maybe not. Look, it’s not a political channel, but if you have somebody who has already built up their company, their clinic, then you should offer him a good price too. To sell that you should. Basically, if you really want to abolish private health in your county, in your country, which might be a political decision, you should be a lot like you should really play or pay overprice to all of these guys who have private health cleanings because, look, they worked that they took risks and stuff and they built that business. So I know. Look, it’s not a political channel, but you get it. I’m just giving you a bit of insight into the fact that if you have some Bitcoin, you have your private key, you have them, you have them. There is no way to really, really, really do anything about that. So, yeah, think about that solid crypto man superjet. Amazing. The land owners will flee. They will dump their overpriced assets on the market. And the nation will stay with all the poor people and they will take their assets to survive. Yeah, I think that is a big, big possibility. Thank you, by the way, for superjet. And let me talk a bit about that, because I’ve also been thinking about it and the fact that we see Singapore, we see Switzerland. I mean, there are many of these countries that are amazing. If you have capital like Sweden is also good. Sweden is also good. But sometimes we have all kinds of this, you know, power grabs. But what you’re saying is that, look. Yes. If you are successful, you have an easier way of moving. You can move anywhere. But it also depends on which business you have. Like it might be difficult to move your business assets because you have to employ employees and you might have real estate and the factories and stuff. So at the end of the day, it might not be as easy, but it is easier than ever. Of course. Go to Singapore. Go to hell. Maybe not Hong Kong, because you know what’s going to happen during a few years. But you go Switzerland. Singapore is somewhere where you’re more welcome. So that’s that’s of course, true. Okay, guys, moving on. Moving on, moving on to next. The next situation will have A M M V are V values for eath. I just want to cover it quickly. This is basically showing you whether EIF is undervalued or overvalued and this is in any crypto you can do this analysis. So I just want to show you that right now we are at zero point eighty three. So it basically means that we are undervalued. The price of ethe is eighty three percent of kind of the fair price according to this metric. So what does this metric show? Well, basically it shows the difference between the normal market cap. You know, how we normally calculate market cap would take a number of coins times the price you get market cap. So you take that and you compare it to the so-called realized market cap because realized market cap, it doesn’t treat all coins the same way. So if you have a coin that has been lost, depravities is lost or is just a very strong hodler that’s not going to move his or her coins. That coin is not priced in the same way as a coin that recently moved because that’s recently moved coin probably will be dumped very soon. So you see a lot of trading with like this recently moved coins and not a lot of trading and not a lot of selling in particular is selling with these coins that are being not touched at all. So realize the market cap is really taking into consideration that all coins are not similar. So when we divide real normal market cap, I mean, just taking price times, number of coins and we divide divided by realize market cap where price of each coin is not the price of today that you see on the coin geko or coin pre-K. It’s not the spot price, but price of each coin is the price. When that coin last moved, when that coin last moved, you get this metric. That is M.V. r.V. And why is it useful? I mean, why would we do it? Well, you can think about it in this way. In this perspective that basically this. Is the value this real market cap. It removes all of the short term hysteria or all of the short term emotions and gives more weight to hurdlers, it gives more weight to people who are really here seriously who are really here seriously. So this is the biggest thing because we basically remove all of the, you know, folie fear of losing everything when people are just dumping or when price moves up a lot like crazy. We remove all of the formal from the calculation and we kind of are left with the reasonable fair price of bitcoin. If you just don’t look at the past craziness in the market. So this is what this metric shows. M.V. Ηarvey metric in glass NOAD and this is on Chane indicator. It basically shows that right now the real the real market cap, like the normal common market cap is just 84 percent of the fare of the fair balanced market cap, like if you remove all of the short term hysteria with sell offs. The balanced market cap, if you have a balanced view, it should be 20 percent higher in eith. So by the way, you can get all of these indicators and so many more. I mean they have hundreds of these indicators on glasnost and you can get most of them for free if you go to I went to the com slash deals and you click here, you click click your glass note on chain indicators. So I would overcome such deals. You can get that. And what else is important is this you can do the same analysis with bitcoin. So we have a bitcoin M.V. Ηarvey ratio and you see seven day moving average here. We’re already a bit above it. Here we are already a bit above it. So right now, bitcoin market cap is 1.2 compared to kind of the balance market cap. But look, when we go into the 2s and especially when I go into the forest and 3s, that is when you truly see overvaluation. So keep in mind you should use it together with other indicators. And there are different ways to look at this. I mean, you have mvr V, you have short term and long term mvr V. So if you look at, for example, at the short term mvr V. It only shows the last one hundred and fifty five days here were still undervalued. So you can experiment with it. If you look at only the past one, there’s 55 days and you see that you only you only take into consideration how and how coins moved during that time. And that is your balance market cap. You see that we’re still undervalued. So there are many different ways to look at this. So experiment try to find your own way of viewing the market. And if you look at long term, you only look at coins that are older than 1055 days, then we are already a bit overvalued because look, I find this so interesting, all of this on Chane indicators. And finally, before we go into the Q&A, I just want to show you this, how it feels exploring seemingly endless world of opportunities on the theorem. And that’s exactly how it feels like, man. Whenever I read about a new protocol or a new system or a new way of doing things with stable coins, it’s it’s so mindblowing and there’s so much to learn. I mean, I don’t even know everything. Nobody knows everything. It’s so much to learn, so much to see how derivative synthetics, stable coins, lending, interest rates, capital markets, money markets like it’s all decentralized, all in the blockchain. And literally, this is as you guys were flying over it. And then this glider is good morning, crypto, because we’re together using this show as a vehicle to fly and see this whole crypto landscape. And this is crypto like all of the mountains. It’s insane saying it’s how much we’re seeing. I’ve never seen anything like this in any industry. And we’re building it as we’re going. Now, finally before Q&A, guys, I want to talk about this, that the economy is dependent on at least half of the citizens not understanding how mining works. If ever understood the game of money, the system would break. This is so true. Why? Because then more and more people would understand the Cantillon effect. Once again, it’s all about the concealer and the fact if you don’t know what it is. Google it. I will explain to shortly. Concealer and effect is that if you have good credit score, you have good connection with the banks. You get freshly printed fiat. You get freshly printed theearth. You can push up the asset prices because you were the first to use that freshly printed fiat because it enters the circulation. You can buy up all of the assets. That is why real estate is so expensive in all countries. And look, it’s just a few people holding all of it because they are the ones with connections. If you’re a young person today, you cannot even move out of your parents house. In most cases in the Western world, not possible because of concealing an effect, because it cannot go and get freshly printed fiat. You’re not allowed. And whenever you hear that there are low interest rates removing too negative interest rates. Well, they’re not for you guys. They’re not for me, either. They’re not for us. They’re for a very exclusive club of people who can get this free money, who can get this basically chip free money and buy up assets and then invest it. Course, they invest it into assets that give them monthly cash flow and get monthly income so they can go and they can get even more of this free shipping. So it’s like a never ending circle. Please keep attention. Pay attention. Look, if more people understood it, obviously the system would not work. Then everyone would understand that it is actually rigged against you. It’s rigged against you if you do not participate in in credit like you have to have credit to participate in this and to gain advantage over this. Most people are instead taught that you should save, you know, save up your money for a rainy day. This and that. But you’re actually the loser if you do it in the current in the current fiat system, because you’re basically getting getting taken advantage of through the Cantillon effect. They dilute your value and give it to a guy who just took that chip and a chip close to zero percent loan. That basically what happens to your savings. You give it away. Guess if you save and it shouldn’t be like that. I mean, look, if you have money, you should be able to save it. I think it should be. I like saving as well, but I understand that it’s stupid in the current environment of off of you just hoarding fiat. You should save instead in ass’s. That is that is how you save in the current fiat system. You have real estate income producing you to have the stocks dividend producing. You each have some kind of thing that gives you monthly income because fiat is worthless is because worthless by the second. So that is why saving is good. Even in fiat system. But not you not saving fiat. You get to save assets. Now another of the nation from solid crypto man, our own superjet. My heart literally warms up when I see you guys using Superjet because it’s ours. We fricking built it. It still has a few bugs. Like I think some of you may be tried, didn’t work, but is gonna work better day by day. You’re gonna see how much better it will be in just a few days because we’re working on it every day. Like OK. Solid grip too. Have you read the road to Financial Freedom? Unfortunately, I haven’t. Is it good? If yes, I will write it down the road to financial freedom. Can anyone send me the link to 10-X? Guys, go and return extra-large. It’s even free on youtube. You can find it. It’s the best book I’ve ever I’ve ever like. It’s the best book. Go and read it. Right. It’s an audible. Yes, an audible. I use all the ball I use I books like Atrians thing about you can also get it for free on YouTube so you can find it to learn about money. Human 6 features of money is a must to watch this for. Yes, you are correct. Yes. Yes indeed. I cannot be sorry about the evil. A product will ave is a defi is. It’s a defi protocol. The most important feature that really distinguishes them from many others is their flash loan capability. So you know, we talk about flash long eve supports flash long. So that’s the most important. It’s all about money markets. It’s all about you having liquidity markets. So it is is doing that. Let’s see if I can find it. Is it all a. Yeah. So open source defi product. But for me, the most important thing with them is, is the flashfloods like they have a can spend 1 to 1 with underlying assets. They have res switching flash loans, of course. I think they’re gonna be big. I think they’re gonna be absolutely big. But what I don’t know. Do they have the or they don’t have their own coin or they do or is just like a union swap, like a protocol man were pumping? Or are we. Yemen? We are. I think yeah. We started this at seven point two I think. But not to get distracted. I dont think they have their own coin. I’ll document. Got it. Got it. I like. Thanks. Thanks. Eh. A way. A way. How did you do that? Eve or anyway. I think the most important feature of them is the and what really distinguishes them. It is that flash loan thing, you know that we are creating our defi to a one course and we’re gonna do practical defi in our academy aswell practical up to a practical flashfloods. We have already a lot of practical defi with defi one, the one where we teach you how to use them all defi products that are important and the old different products like you swaption tactics rad. That really a lot. A lot, a lot. A lot. We teach you how to use and how they work in our different on the one course. Go check kazimir. What I’m saying. Gabrielle, why don’t you make an episode with Amadeu Brands? Nice would be a cool Yemen. It sounds amazing. I might see. Would love that. I think he would love that. I would also love that. I think he’s even listening. Amadeu. Let me know in the chat if you’re listening. But yeah, that will be very interesting. And people love that course. People loved that course a lot that we did together with Manziel. And the next one is gonna be more about that. Maybe show you practically how to create flash loans, how to get millions of dollars in a transaction. But you have to repaid back within the same transaction if but you can use it in arbitration, so and so forth. Even if if you want to help local business with DEFI, what would you should suggest some sort of crypto along? Well, for now you don’t really. I mean you can get. You can not. Get the money out of thin air. You need to have collateral. So, yeah, that’s that that’s not really applique applicable if your business is struggling. So does the only thing we need. Andrew collateralized loans and they are coming. But for now we only have over collateralized loans. I guess I want to remind you if you haven’t. Go to our webinar. You’ll find the link below. So go and check it. Right now we’re talking about how to stack massive amounts of SATs. Absolutely massive during the bull market. And it’s a free webinar. So you don’t you don’t need to pay anything. And join us if you haven’t been in the webinar before. And if you’re not in that chasm yet, go and join this to date. And we’re going to do it on April the twenty ninth. So go enjoy to today is if the company just accepts crypto, it can help them. Well, yes, you can get the the interest rates from Defi. That’s true. That’s true. But they still gonna be life changing like overnight. It’s not gonna be this emergency loan that many businesses need right now. They need emergency loans. Ivan, I heard many top public companies are doing are going private. And all that will be left is penny stock companies. How will this affect stock and crypto markets? To be honest with you, I haven’t really seen that. Why? Why would they? Let’s see it. Let’s see it. Corporations going private. I haven’t really seen anything about that. Why are you saying that? Maybe you can link. Because I haven’t I haven’t really seen that. I don’t really think it’s in their interest, to be honest. Why would it be? Why would it be? It would be difficult for them to issue new. I mean, maybe for fi. I don’t know. Let me know. I need to think more about it. Heard it from Max Kaiser show. Oh, wow. Yeah. Okay. I will check. I like Max Keiser. He talks about continue in effect a lot. Shill, both shill. But bannings. I agree. But when we reach the peak of bull market, you can use that money to invest in something else. Oh, you mean the Alexander is talking about the bull and be embarass cycles? Lots of companies are doing pride because of over. Oh, yeah. That makes sense. That makes sense. They will do a token maybe. I don’t know. Look at Bynum’s BMB. Don’t even have to follow regulation. I don’t know what’s going to happen, guys to be on B. I have B and B because I think violence is doing a great job. But it’s just like men. They’re burning tokens based on revenue. How is that not a security? But I like that it’s not a security. Maybe it will be a security. It’s not class like. They’re not getting in trouble for it. I don’t know really how how how that works. I mean, why. A lot of other companies and alot of other players like it block when they are in trouble. But Bynum’s isn’t it? I mean that’s fascinating. And look, it’s good like the fact that you have all the securities regulation is actually quite restricting. Like how else would you get that piece of balance. Success. Impossible, impossible with their coin. Anyone can do it as long. But of course there is a trust element. You need to trust that they will keep bringing the supply based on them, based on their profits, and also that you can use the coin to get lower fees and all of that. Okay. Yes, I think that’s it for today. Thank you so much for being here yet again. I really, really appreciate that you. Thank you. Especially all of you who tried the superjet. It truly warms my heart that we can do this better testing. And it’s amazing. And look, you’re gonna be amazed how how much better it will be, because now we just have like a basic thing. We have to input fields like for the text and for the number. But there’s gotta be way prettier. He’s gonna be like fireworks. I told you. But we have a few more bugs to fix. So maybe like in a week we’ll see if we’re working each and every day. So it’s gonna work out even smoother, even smoother. So, guys, thank you so much. So thank you so much for being here. If you are on YouTube, go to the dot com slash live N8 being sheltered to N8 for doing timestamps. Thanks so much for sending in big shout to Gabbar for working like crazy to make super chat’s happen without Gabbar looking super just would not work. So thank you so much and I’ll see you all very, very soon. Goodbye. Goodbye. Kiss goodbye. Goodbye.

What should i expect in a auto accident and insurance settlement?

I was hit from behind on Wednesday evening heading to work. The driver was ticketed by the police and their insurance company has admitted full liability. Injury wise, I have whiplash which thankfully, is going away now. My car, according to their adjuster, is going to be claimed as totaled. So, my car is valued at 7400, and repairs just from visual inspection, are 7015. So they are going the totaled route as its cheaper for them. After they buy the car from me, they will sell it to salvage, expect to get 2k from it, and only be out 5400 instead of a full cost of repairs. So I've had the car for a year and half, taken out on a 5yr car loan. I still owe 12k on it. After they cut a check to the lean holder, I'm still responsible for 5k on that loan. The bank and my insurance at the time didn't offer gap insurance. Stupid of me, I let my current policy expire to search around for a more affordable policy. I kept procrastinating, and the accident happened with me having no insurance. Lucky he hit me and is at fault. I'm trying to see what my options are. I've gone to the liable company's website and see their basic plan for my state, law requires 25k in property liability for at fault accidents, plus medical etc. So I'm wondering what should I expect from the lady handling this claim. I'm not fooled when she called me yesterday and said that she is here to work with and for me. Saying that there is probably a lot of talk about lawyers, just know they will take 30-40% of you settlement. Know that I'm here to work for you, try to work with me I'm thinking my head total bull crap. 1, she works for her insurance company first, and will have their interest first, 2, she works for their client and to protect them from me in a suit. In the end, I'm not stuck with a car that they will not fully pay to have repaired, and will still owe 5k after they pay the loan holder the value of the car. My credit is damaged and getting a new loan is probably not going to happen easily. I really don't want to get a lawyer but I now have a car sitting in my driveway that I can't use plus a balance in the end. Anyone got some suggestions as to what I should realistically expect. The lady mentioned a liability settlement, repair settlement, medical expenses settlement, and personal injury settlement. I'm not out to make money on this as that just will not happen. But I have no car and will owe 5k still. I'm just like...f**k""

How much will two speeding tickets increase my insurance?

I got a speeding ticket last year around the same time for 15 mph over and just received another (in a different state) for going 18 mph over. Also, I have another ticket from 3 years ago (will be 3 years in a couple weeks), so that shouldn't effect my insurance after that. I called my insurance company and asked them how much my insurance would increase with this new ticket. They said $11 over six months, so that equates to less than $2 a month, which is fine, but I'm just not sure how honest they are being with me. Another person from the insurance company told me my premiums would go up by atleast $10/month without calculating anything, which seems excessive.

Car insurance questions!?!!? HELP! accident!?

Hey, three weeks ago, I got into a car accident and rear ended someone in the front with suv. I had a honda, and the insurance company declared it totaled and they are going to pay around 9k for the car. Since it was rear-end accident, insurance company held me for 100% at fault. The suv had broken/dented bumper and lower part of trunk lid dented (No broken lights or anything). I would say around few thousand dollars worth of damage. There were 3 people in the car and at the time they said they are all ok, and drove off. No police report was filed. When I called at night to get one of the guy's birthday, he said all three went to emergency, and had whiplash pain in neck area (which is understandable from rear-end accident). I had full coverage so I know my insurance comp. would pay their bills. The thing I am scared about is what if they sue me? I am from low-class family and a full time student on loans so I have no money or even a job. If they do, how much can they sue me for?""

Insurance RSX vs S2000?

Hi there, my dad is planning to buy me a car by the latest the last week of March. I asked him for an RSX simply because I like the reliability of a civic, but i feel that a civic is under powered. So I'm opting for an RSX. No, i will not be getting the type S because I know insurance rapes you for it. Well my dad said he'd rather buy me an S2000. I think it's cause he wants to drive it around so my mom doesn't have to nag at him for buying a sports car. I was wondering how the RSX BASE model will compare to the S2000? I know the Type S RSX's insurance is much higher than the S2000. I was wondering how about the Base model?

Car insurance with teenagers.?

My mom has Progressive right now and she checked how much it would be to have me and a new car on the insurance and it is a whopping $500 a month (her, her truck, me, and my car included).. We need an insurance company that isn't going to cost us a 1/4 of our income. At first we were looking at older cars under $2500. Then my mom was thinking it would be better to get me a new car with good gas mileage so she wouldn't have to worry about me being safe and not breaking down on the side of the road... But we can afford a new car, not with our down payment. The monthly payments are too high. So now we are going back to the older cars, and if we have a fully paid for vehicle, I am sure the insurance won't be as high. But here it, I am 16 years old, took driver's ed and have an insurance waiver that is supposed to bring the insurance down 10%. I also have good grades, a scholarship, a job, etc.. These things should look good to the insurance and bring the cost down.. I am safe driver as well.. Not driving far daily at all.

MOSCOW | The Latest: Nigeria still in contention with win vs Iceland

MOSCOW (AP) — The Latest on Friday at the World Cup (all times local): 7:57 p.m.

Ahmed Musa has made a spectacular entrance into the World Cup by scoring twice in Nigeria’s 2-0 victory over Iceland.

The result in Volgograd means Nigeria, Iceland and Argentina are all still in contention to advance from Group D. Croatia leads the group after two wins and has already ensured a spot in the round of 16.

Musa opened the scoring in the 49th when he finished off a long-range counterattack with a composed, second-touch half-volley. He doubled Nigeria’s lead in the 75th minute after a swerving run into the area and a shot from close range.

Iceland had a real chance to get one back but Gylfi Sigurdsson fired a penalty kick way over the Nigeria bar in the 83rd minute. The result lifts Nigeria into second spot in the group with three points. Iceland and Argentina each have one point. ___ 7:43 p.m.

Ahmed Musa has scored again to give Nigeria a 2-0 lead against Iceland late in the second half in Volgograd.

Picking up the ball on the left hand side of the Iceland penalty area in the 75th minute, Musa outran his defender, mazed his way past goalkeeper Hannes Halldorsson and picked his spot in the Iceland goal. That came moments after he hit the crossbar with another shot and less than half an hour after he put Nigeria in front with his first strike.

Musa was brought into the starting line-up by coach Gernot Rohr in order to inject pace into Nigeria’s attack.Iceland missed a chance to pull one back in the 82nd when Gylfi Sigurdsson sent a penalty kick soaring over the bar. The spot kick was awarded after a video-reviewed foul on Tyronne Ebuehi for clumsily bringing down Alfred Finnbogason in the area. ___ 7:08 p.m.

Ahmed Musa has scored in the 49th minute to give Nigeria a 1-0 lead against Iceland at the World Cup.

Musa’s half-volley came after a quick Nigeria counter attack which started in its own area.

Victor Moses crossed from the right, and Musa’s brilliant first touch saw him kick the ball in the air in front of him. He let it bounce and then lashed it into the net. ___ 6:48 p.m.

Nigeria and Iceland are locked 0-0 at halftime in a World Cup Group D game in Volgograd.Iceland had its best chance in the last minute after Gylfi Sigurdsson whipped a free kick into the Nigeria penalty box but none of his teammates could stretch out enough to tap the ball into the net.

The tactical changes from the coaches appear to have cancelled each other out. For Nigeria, captain John Obi Mikel is playing in a more defensive role in midfield, his presence helping to shore up the defense against Iceland’s two-man forward line. In the 1-1 draw against Argentina, Iceland played with a lone striker.

Whatever the result, Iceland will still have a chance to progress in the World Cup. Defeat for Nigeria would mean it is eliminated. ___ 6:30 p.m.

Brazil coach Tite says he pulled a muscle during his wild celebrations after Philippe Coutinho’s late goal in the 2-0 win over Costa Rica. Tite was unintentionally pushed to the ground by substitute goalkeeper Ederson Moraes as the coach ran onto the field from the dugout after the goal in the first minute of injury time.

Tite says “I was going to celebrate with them but I had to limp back.” ____ 6:15 p.m. England defender Kyle Walker has urged the media covering the team not to revel team secrets, after a photographer tweeted an image of the planned lineup for the next match against Panama. Walker says “try to keep it to yourself and don’t bring it out to the world, because it’s not going to help us come the later stages of the tournament.” He adds: “You guys have to do your little bit. So if you could just please help us with that, it would be polite.”

London’s Evening Standard photographer Jeremy Selywn photographed a piece of paper in the hands of assistance coach Steve Holland showing players in formation. Other journalists defended the right to publish Holland’s handwritten notes.

“Let’s just be clear on one thing,” Matt Law, a football writer for the Daily Telegraph newspaper, posted on Twitter. “The pic of the England team was taken in an OPEN training session in which photographers and cameramen are invited to take pictures. You may not agree with it being published, but there was certainly no hiding in bushes.” ___ 5:59 p.m.

Germany could be without starting central defender Mats Hummels for Saturday’s match against Sweden due to a neck injury suffered in training.

Coach Joachim Loew said Friday that Hummels aggravated a vertebra in his neck during Thursday’s training and he would not be practicing Friday. Loew did not say who might replace Hummels in the lineup but said Germany would need to be strong in the air if the 6-foot-2 defender is unavailable.

Hummels has anchored of Germany’s defense since the 2012 European Championship and scored two goals during their run to the World Cup title in 2014, including the game-winner in the quarterfinals against France.

Germany sits at the bottom of the group with South Korea after losing its opening match 1-0 to Mexico. ___ 5:35 p.m. Iceland and Nigeria have made lineup changes for their World Cup match in Volgograd.

Heimir Hallgrimsson has made two changes to his Iceland squad, bringing in Rurik Gislason for the injured Johann Berg Gudmundsson and forward Jon Dadi Bodvarsson to replace midfielder Emil Hallfredsson as the team moves to a 4-4-2 formation from the 4-5-1 used during the 1-1 opening draw against Argentina. Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr has brought in speedy Ahmed Musa and Kelechi Iheanacho to play up front instead of Odion Ighalo and Alex Iwobi. Defender Kenneth Omeruo has replaced Abdullahi Shehu. Nigeria lost its opening match 2-0 to Croatia. Lineups:

Francis Uzoho, Bryan Idowu, Wilfred Ndidi, William Ekong, Leon Balogun, Kenneth Omeruo, Oghenekaro Etebo, John Obi Mikel, Victor Moses, Kelechi Iheanacho, Ahmed Musa Iceland: Hannes Halldorsson, Birkir Mar Saevarsson, Ragnar Sigurdsson, Birkir Bjarnason, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Alfred Finnbogason, Kari Arnason, Rurik Gislason, Aron Gunnarsson, Hordur Magnusson, Jon Dadi Bodvarsson ___ 4:56 p.m.

Philippe Coutinho and Neymar have scored in injury time to give Brazil a 2-0 win over Costa Rica at the World Cup.

After frustrating the Brazilians for 90 minutes, the Costa Ricans finally conceded twice in stoppage time and slumped to a second loss that ended their chances of advancing to the knockout stage. Coutinho poked the ball through the legs of goalkeeper Keylor Navas and into the net after Gabriel Jesus controlled the ball in front, for his second goal of the tournament.

Neymar sent his nation’s yellow-shirted fans wild when he volleyed the ball in with virtually the last kick of the game. It had appeared as if Brazil, after a 1-1 draw with Switzerland in its opening game, was heading for another stalemate. Brazil attacked relentlessly in the second half and was awarded a penalty in the 78th minute when Neymar was impeded as he cut inside defender Giancarlo Gonzalez.

But referee Bjorn Kuipers went over to look at the sideline TV monitor, then reversed the decision.

Billed as one of the tournament favorites in Russia, Brazil has four points heading into its last group game against Serbia next Wednesday. Serbia won its opener and was looking to move top of Group E with victory against Switzerland later Friday. ___ 4:38 p.m.

Referee Bjorn Kuipers has reversed a decision to award a penalty to Brazil for an apparent foul on Neymar in the 78th minute. Costa Rica’s Giancarlo Gonzalez put his hand across Neymar on the left of the penalty area and the Brazil forward went down. Kuipers pointed the spot.

Moments later, the Dutch referee went over to look at the sideline monitor, then returned to the field and reversed the decision The score was 0-0. ___ 4:27 p.m. Being boring is working well for Belgium coach Roberto Martinez. Asked why this squad seemed much calmer than at previous tournaments, Martinez says they’re avoiding making headlines for off-field issues.

Martinez says: “We do want to be boring. We’re a football team, we’re not here to fulfill stories or fill pages.”

Belgium made a no-fuss start at its World Cup, beating overmatched Panama 3-0 and now plays Tunisia on Saturday in Moscow. England is also in Group G.

Martinez cut out one potential problem by not picking Radja Nainggolan. The Spanish coach had a difficult relationship with the Roma midfielder. ___ 4:15 p.m. A Russian soccer fan who has groped a journalist during a live broadcast in Moscow has offered her an apology . The man groped DW reporter Julieth Gonzalez Theran and kissed her on the cheek as she was reporting on the World Cup last week, drawing international attention.

The German outlet said Friday the man who identified himself by his first name, Ruslan, has visited its office to offer his “most profound apologies.” It posted a video of his Skype conversation with Theran, in which he said he made a bet with a friend that he would kiss a reporter on air.

He said “I acted carelessly” and was sorry for “an unsuccessful joke with a kiss on the cheek turned into sexual harassment.” Theran accepted his apologies during their conversation. ___ 3:55 p.m. Sweden has arrived in Sochi short-handed for Saturday’s match against Germany at the World Cup.

Three players remained in Gelendzhik after becoming ill. Swedish coach Janne Andersson says the expectation is defenders Pontus Jansson and Filip Helander, and midfielder Marcus Rohden will fly to Sochi on Saturday and join the team. Andersson did not indicate whether any of the three will be included in the final 18-man squad.

Jannson started in central defense for the Swedes in the opening victory over South Korea. Helander and Rohden were not used. Sweden forward Isaac Kiese Thelin suffered an ankle injury in practice and was not training Friday. Thelin came on as a sub late in the second half of the opener. ___ 3:48 p.m. Brazil and Costa Rica were locked at 0-0 at halftime in their second group game at the World Cup.

The Brazilians were having problems breaking down Costa Rica’s packed defense, with Neymar also getting frustrated at some strong tackling — he was fouled three times in a five-minute span. Neymar was fouled 10 times in Brazil’s opening 1-1 draw with Switzerland. Brazil striker Gabriel Jesus had a goal disallowed for offside, while Costa Rica’s best chance saw Celso Borges drag a shot wide following a cut-back.

The half ended with Neymar, surrounded by his teammates, remonstrating with referee Bjorn Kuipers. Costa Rica, a World Cup quarterfinalist in 2014, lost 1-0 to Serbia in its opening game. ____ 3:43 p.m.

Croatia’s players have stoked ethnic tensions by celebrating their 3-0 victory against Argentina by singing a nationalist song that glorifies the Balkan country’s wartime struggle against the Serbs. A brief clip shows defender Dejan Lovren singing the song with other players in the dressing room after Thursday’s match. The song by a popular Croatian singer known as Thompson starts with a chant that was used by Croatia’s pro-Nazis during World War II. It also mentions chasing Serb “bandits” will be chased out of Croatia — a reference to the war between the two former Yugoslav republics in the 1990s.

Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vucic says Friday he doesn’t understand why the Croatian players would celebrate in such a way. He says, “If I was in their place, I would be happy with the victory. For some people, their hatred for their neighbors is more important.” Croatia and Serbia could meet in later rounds at the World Cup. ___ 2:40 p.m.

Brazil star Neymar caused a stir with his “spaghetti” hairstyle for his opening match at the World Cup. Five days later, it appears to have gone. Warming up for the game against Costa Rica in St. Petersburg, the Brazil forward had a more routine haircut with his fringe swept back and those long, curly pasta-style locks nowhere to be seen. What will he come up with for Serbia on Tuesday? ___ 1:30 p.m.

This World Cup is right on pace to be the lowest scoring ever despite no goalless games so far.

Just 51 goals have been scored in 23 games going into Friday’s play, at a rate of 2.217 per game. The rate was 2.212 at the 1990 World Cup in Italy — a tournament seen as a low point for exciting games.

In 1990, the 24-nation format rewarded cautious play in the group stage by sending some third-place teams into the Round of 16. The most prolific World Cup in terms of scoring was 5.38 per game in 1954 hosted by Switzerland.

In the 32-team tournament era, the record goals tally was 171 — a rate of 2.67 per game — in 1998 in France and four years ago in Brazil. The all-time average goals per game since 1930 was 2.85 before the tournament kicked off play in Russia. ___ 1:20 p.m.

PSV Eindhoven says coach Phillip Cocu is moving to Fenerbahce and will be replaced by Australia’s assistant coach Mark van Bommel. The Dutch club announced Cocu’s departure Friday and said Van Bommel, who is Bert van Marwijk’s assistant at the World Cup, has a three-year contract to replace him.

Van Bommel, a tough tackling midfielder, played at PSV for six seasons before moving overseas to play at Barcelona, Bayern Munich and AC Milan. Before the World Cup, the 41-year-old Van Bommel had been coaching PSV’s youth players as the club groomed him to succeed Cocu. PSV General Manager Toon Gerbrands says, “He’s ready.” PSV says Van Bommel will return to Eindhoven after Australia’s last match in Russia.

Cocu led PSV to three Eredivisie titles in his five years in Eindhoven. Australia is third in World Cup Group C, after losing 2-1 to France and a 1-1 draw with Denmark ___ 12:30 p.m. Egypt is set to lodge a complaint to FIFA about what its federation chairman describes as the “injustice” of the match officials during the team’s World Cup loss to Russia.

Egyptian Football Association chairman Hany Abo Rida says the match officials “did not achieve justice” in the game. Egypt’s 3-1 loss to Russia, combined with Saudi Arabia’s loss to Uruguay, ended its changes of progressing beyond the group stage at its first World Cup in 28 years. Egypt and Saudi Arabia meet Monday in Volgograd in their last Group A match.

Abo Rida, speaking from the Egyptian squad’s World Cup base in Grozny, Chechnya, did not specify which incident would form the basis of the complaint.

The Egyptians contend that defender Ahmed Fathi was pushed before the ball deflected off him for an own goal that gave the Russians a 1-0 lead. The players also thought forward Mohsen Marwan should have been awarded a penalty when he was brought down inside the box. Both incidents took place in the second half.

OPEN GATES: Assisting New Immigrants since 1990.

The gates of the Former Soviet Union remain open, as well as the doors of other nations, who have given exit visas to Jewish people wishing to leave. Many are leaving because of anti-Semitism and another great Exodus may loom over the horizon. CFI’s Distribution Center gates, opened in January 1991, remain open because of the faithfulness of supporters who give, collect and pack large shipments of high quality clothing for olim entering the Land of Israel, as well as supplying financial help to give them the best Welcome Home possible. As Scripture indicates, Israel will be a wholly righteous nation where all who enter her gates will be righteous and all will walk in faith. Immigrants love receiving Bibles (Jewish Scriptures/Tanach) as we present them in Russian-Hebrew, Spanish-Hebrew, French-Hebrew, English-Hebrew, Hebrew only, Portu- guese-Hebrew, Hungarian-Hebrew, and Yiddish-Hebrew languages. These Bibles are provided to us by Comfort Israel from the Netherlands. Our guests also love the Book of Psalms in Hebrew.

Our faith has been put into action, for twenty-five years, by being here for them upon their arrival. Hundreds of thousands of new olim have experienced Christian love for the first time in their lives. Hundreds of tons of high quality garments have been lovingly collected, packed and sent from the nations. Multitudes of lives have been changed toward the traditional stereotypes of Christians and the restoration work of healing between Christians and Jews has made a tremendous difference. Our re-connection is coming together because God is in it!

“I will bring them back...I will whistle for them and gath- er them..” (Zechariah 10:8). New immigrants come home for a variety of reasons (a) because the Spirit of the Lord moves them, (b) some don’t really know why but point upwards, (c) others just sensed it was time...perhaps hearing a distant whistle of some sort in their spirit. Still others realize Israel is their homeland, and return because of family who arrived beforehand. Thank you to all who pack beautiful garments and send them to Israel in the shipments. A salute to everyone who contributes funds for the ongoing work at the Distribution Center and for supplying all of our needs for the outreach projects.

FAITH AND ACTIONS WORK TOGETHER AT CFI

IMMIGRANTS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE

This past year CFI served new immigrants from the Ukraine, Russia, Brazil, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Cuba, USA, Argentina, Kazakhstan, Hungary, UK, Georgia, Mexico, Moldova, Peru, Colombia, Portugal, Spain, S. Africa, In- dia, Uruguay, Italy, Venezuela, Bolivia, Canada, Chile, France, Poland, Australia, Azerbaijan, Czech Republic, Honduras and Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Germany, Lithuania and Romania. Among them were Ethiopians, pensioners, poor and needy, and students. We also saw a 78% increase in new olim served. High quality garments increased by 54%. We also give Welcome Bags, bed and bath parcels and kitchen items (i.e., bed linens, bath and face towels, challah bread covers, candle holders and Shabbat packages, electric food mixers, kettles, cooking pans and pots, and student vouchers for school). Almost daily we hear testimonies of Jews from the Ukraine who are practically fleeing and leaving everything behind to find a safer life in Israel. We also continue with home visits to the disabled and those who are unable to come to the CFI Distribution Center due to age or health issues.

A SURGE IN ALIYAH

The Wiesenthal Center recently reported that Europe, which is in a crisis, has warned the one million Jewish communities that they face an uncertain future. Pray that more of the Jewish people will see the writing on the wall and make the right decision to return home. In July, 223 American Jewish people made aliyah with their destina- tion being Jerusalem. Praise God that the new immigrants, who are fulfilling God’s Word, are proving the truth of His Word to Israel and the world, in these latter times.

PLEASE MEET OUR VISITORS

My Name is Viktor. A sweet 70-year-old man, from Mariupol, Ukraine, came to us. He lives with his son and his four grandchildren. Viktor told us they are an ultra-Orthodox family, who are not merely religious, but truly have a close relationship with the Lord. We were so happy to be able to assist with needed clothing, well-suited to their religious neighborhood. Years ago they would never have accepted our help.

We explained to Viktor that we are Christian Zionists and what we have been called to do. Viktor shared that he has experienced this love for Zion from Christians in the Ukraine. He had a good friend, a Pastor, he was a Godly man and his testimony and devotion for God made a powerful impact on Viktor’s life. When the situation in Mariupol became unbearable and dangerous...a Christian ministry in Ukraine helped Viktor move to a different city, from where he was able to make aliyah. Praise the Lord Almighty that he is safe now in his Home Land!

Meet Julio Cesar & Irene

A new family from Peru, who had only been in Israel for two months came to us. Their toddler enjoyed the new toys we gave him. As we spoke to them in their native language, said, “We live where very few speak Spanish...It will push us to learn Hebrew.”

A Family from Tashkent An entire Jewish family (approximately 50 family members) from Tashkent, Uzbekistan are now living in Ramla, Israel. One day, four newly arrived families came to our DC. They were descendants of a Jewish grandmother, unable to make it to Israel, before her passing. She celebrated the Lord’s Feasts while alive and encouraged the younger generations to continue to celebrate their Jewish Biblical traditions and to make aliyah. Some of the younger ones wanted to come to Israel so their children could return to their Jewish roots.

Airton, Terezinha and Julia Nine months ago, this family from Sao Paulo, Brazil, came to Israel. Though the family did not suffer anti-Semitism in Brazil, their reason for making aliyah was the country’s bad economy, which was affecting everyone. Their radiant smiles showed their happiness to be in their new Land. They loved receiving their new Portuguese-Hebrew Scriptures!

Meet Leah Gamboa.  Leah visited us before. One of her daughters was married a year ago and the entire family chose beautiful evening gowns from the Bridal Salon. This time Leah brought her friend Marina, who was born in Chile but emigrated to Argentina. This was the time for Marina to return to her Promised Land! The Gamboas are a family of six. In the mid-1970’s, during Pinochet’s dictatorship, Juan went to the Chilean Chancellery to obtain paperwork needed for their aliyah process. When the officer in charge learned that he was a Jew, he stopped him, insulted him and was going to arrest him. A phone call distracted him and a different officer released Juan and told him not to return. Their daughter was once stoned by a student at school. The family was afraid for their safety and decided to move to an island in southern Chile, where they lived for 20 years. Leah told us about Colonia Dignidad, a place founded by immigrant Germans in the mid-1950s, used as a concentration camp. Many of their fellow Jews were killed there. One of Juan’s relatives was arrested in Portugal, brought to Lima, Peru and tortured. He finally died from his horrendous wounds; this was done in the name of Jesus by the Catholic Church. The incident is recorded in the Chilean Jewish history books. Leah said that she and her family have experienced anti-Semitism from Catholics, but not from evangelical Christians. Evangelical Christians have always supported them and encouraged them to come to Israel. 

Leah was very touched and grateful for the help received from the CFI Lighthouse; she said that from the moment the family decided to ‘come up to Israel’ God blessed them tremendously.

Maya has been living in the Land almost two years. During WWII, Maya’s fraternal grandfather chose to stay in Odessa, and sadly, he was arrested by the Nazis, and taken to a ghetto in the same city. He later died there. Maya’s maternal grandmother, her mother, and her sister, were all evacuated to Southern Russia. Her sister died in 1945 from illness. Most of the Jews from Odessa moved to Southern Russia, managing to survive, despite extreme poverty and food shortages. Toward the end of Maya’s vis- it with us, Maya expressed her gratitude for the Ministry, and said that this was the first time she had ever received assistance from Christians. She shared how, living in Israel now, she has begun to acknowledge God, and learning to have more patience with others. She said that though she is not religious, she knows that something in her inner being is changing!

Thank you so much for your financial and practical help for our shipments!
