#minus man is free on youtube and everyone should go watch it!!

[wolfpup026]

A while ago I read Everyone Sees What You Appear to Be by prometheus on AO3, a Minus Man crossover with Vann arriving in New Asgard where he meets post-Ragnarok Loki. It's a really sweet fic and I love Vann so much I had to draw them together!

[alittlebitmaybe]

do you have any recs for good skates to watch from this season so far?

elsa i am so sorry you asked. here we go

(bolded skaters are going to the gpf)

(all links require a vpn bc isu youtube hates usa; rec using opera browser's built in free vpn)

i mainly follow singles, so i'll mostly stick with those, but for pairs stellato-dudek/deschamps are absolute breakouts featuring queen deanna who is the oldest gp medalist and oldest gp gold medalist !!! stan deanna. i rec watching their skate america skates, particularly their short. i wept

ALSO for dance by far my favorite thing i've seen is demougeot/le mercier's weird ass sad mime ex which hits EVERY time.

ANYWAY. to the shit i actually care about deeply

WOMEN

rika kihira's titanic free from sci: the nhk one was probably better technically but i saw this one in person in the front row and wept the entire time. outstanding vibes. beautiful skating.

kaori sakamoto's sia free from skam: speaking of things i saw live from the second row and wept through. that's MY world champion

mai mihara's espoo short and also her sheffield free: 30 point grand prix queen enough said

yelim kim's short and free from nhk: won nhk against an absolutely stacked lineup of women. has one of the most beautiful ina bauers in existence

honorable mentions that i'm not going to find the links for: every single thing gracie gold did at skam. listen to the audience reactions for her!!! absolutely not a dry eye in the house. also amber glenn did incredible at skam, if you're into her. also faves rinka watanabe at sci and loena hendrickx at angers to round out the gpf lineup. (uhhhh. minus isabeau who is talented but i don't care for as a skater atm)

MEN

oh god

shoma uno's nhk free and exhibition: this tiny man owns my entire ass. i also saw both of these skates live and my brain turned to mush and i made noises no human should ever make but i think the nhk ones are better. his short also fucks but he keeps screwing it up lmao. these are some of my favorite programs of all time tbh

roman sadovsky's nebelhorn trophy short: romsky is my goated flop worstie parasocial boyfriend and this program fucks. what if he could ever pull off a free skate.

adam siao him fa's short program from angers: i mean. my god. he did that

kao miura's short program from skam: had no expectations from this kid and then he comes out and drops a 94 point sp in front of us. TWO WEEKS IN A ROW. IN FRONT OF MY EYES. this program is fucking incredible except for the slowest cannonball spin of all time. his beauty and the beast free is also sooo fun but it WILL get stuck in your head and he keeps having bad falls on the first jump

kazuki tomono's miyavi ex: king of gala skates strikes again. pleaaaase learn how to jump for the actual competitions

deniss vasiljevs's sheffield free and sci ex: does the free hit as well without knowing how hard he flopped it during sci? idk and idc. his englishman in new york sp is also worth a watch. we love u deniss. anyway the sci ex happened in front of me and stopped my brain function for like half an hour

junhwan cha's nhk free and skam short: the second we saw jun skate in person we dedicated our lives to seeing him skate again. please know that a good portion of that intensely high pitched screaming from skam is me and kim and lee anne. it was his BIRTHDAY

keegan messing's free at sci: now, this one is simply for the vibes. it was his last ever skate canada and the vibes during this event were terrible. everyone was flopping. energy was low. then keegs saved us and we all stomped and yelled and cried

kevin aymoz's short in espoo: he is sooooooo good and soooooo fun. his free is also good and hilarious bc it's a song of achilles program set to gladiator. i'm not kidding

ilia malinin's free at skam: so, listen. i am not an ilia girlie but he DID land a 4a 15 feet from us and it WAS impressive and i did scream about it, and since he is shoma's main competition at the gpf this year i feel that i should link this

unfortunately i only really care about 2 of the men in the gpf this year and the rest of my faves flopped bad enough at least once to keep them out of the running.

anyway yeah if anyone else wants to watch some figure skating. watch these ones

Oh No I’m Stuck in My Apartment

Now is the best of times, now is the worst of times! 

Anyway, I am not a healthcare professional and it turns out pandemics don’t care about “law” actually so I’m here to offer the resources I can. Namely: Where To Find Media & Inject It In Your Eyeballs Without Infecting Other People. Most of these links will be USA-specific, but do search for local equivalents.

I. LEGAL, IE EITHER KNOWN TO OR PROFITABLE FOR THE CREATORS / IP-OWNERS

Obviously there’s the whole Nutflix/Prima/Holla/Antitrust Violation+ axis, but there are lots of other ways to access content online and potentially without a subscription fee.

YOUR LOCAL PUBLIC LIBRARY---depending on the resources available, a public library can offer up a wealth of ebooks, audiobooks, online resources, and general content, including awesome stuff to keep the Little Ones (Suddenly Not In School) engaged and using their brains. I encourage everyone to start here. I also recommend the Hoopla app and the Library Extension---those times I feel tempted to look on Amazon first, they’ve pulled me back and reminded me that Chicago Public Libraries might have that, and for free! A blessing.

PBS---A miracle and a gift. Tons and tons of content on the website, and if you become a member (”viewers like you”!) you can access even more, through their partnership with Masterpiece Theater. 

KANOPY---Are you into old movies? Do you have a library card and/or are a student at a university? Check of Kanopy, a service that partners with academic institutions and libraries to stream culturally significant films.

TUBI---like Crackle or Vudu, its catalog is nowhere near as extensive as more profitable streaming services, but it uses a commercial break/no paid subscription model. Currently the only streaming service featuring Leverage, which is a pretty good indicator of quality imho.

MET OPERA LIVE IN HD---This is very niche, but if you’re into opera, the Met is making its recent Live in HD performances stream-able through its website. (It already had this capability through its archives, but I appreciate the chance to see more recent productions.)

Less specifically: if you’re interested in trying out a particular television channel or podcast, buying a book (particularly one from a debut author whose book tour has been canceled due to COVID), or attempting video games, now’s the time, since many are offering free or discounted shipping/access.

II. MAYBE POTENTIALLY NOT EXACTLY LEGAL BUT NOT TECHNICALLY A DMCA VIOLATION TO WATCH

oh no, what’s this whole “pu t loc ker” phenomenon? who can possibly say? no one should visit a link that’s mostly a repository of ripped movies of varying quality (both the movies and the quality of the recording)

and definitely I don’t recommend anyone google “project free tv” in order to catch up on their shows! who would do such a thing that might deprive a poor, multi-trillion dollar mouse some shred of profit????

in addition, no one should check out r/pro(f)shot musicals (minus the f) in they’re looking to find a lot of professionally-recorded musicals, operas and plays! I mean, that would be bad, sort of. I guess.

sometimes, if you go to youtube and click around in clips related to something you want to see, the algorithm will recommend a different video, with a non-searchable title akin to “man in basement develops unhealthy attachment to soprano” or  “austen heroine thinks manners are heroin”. Definitely shouldn’t do that, probably.

.........if you have other resources, don’t hesitate to add to this post or reply. Let’s all stay healthy, stay hydrated, and stay (relatively) socialized!

3 Pranks by Connor, 1 Prank on Your Bros, 1 Prank on Reed & A Moment With Reed

You should’ve never showed Connor those damn videos. Now he won’t stop the pranks and it’s getting really annoying. The five time that Connor prank you and your family, the one time you prank him, and the one time you two sort of pranked Reed.

"Are you under the impression that families supposed to make you feel good, make you an apple pie, maybe? They're supposed to make you miserable! That's why they're family!" ~Supernatural

AO3 is Here

The Candy Bowl Prank

       There was a bowl of candy setting out in the break room with a sign that said, ‘take some’ and it had you worried. Connor had been pranking you and the other all weak after you had showed him some prank videos on YouTube. It had you worried about what he was planning on doing to you guys. You were a bit hungry. So, you took a hand full of candy and threw it into your mouth and then rushed to the nearby garbage can as a horrendous taste was left in your mouth as you got a cup of coffee.

       "I should’ve warned you Y/N.” Tina said as you tried to rinse the horrendous taste out of your mouth. “Who every left the candy has a mean streak. Mixing MnM’s, Reese’s Pieces, and Skittles together, ugh. I think he or she got almost everyone in the precinct with this prank.” You shook your head

       "I have an idea who did this and he’s going to get it when I get a hold of him.” You said as you turned to leave the break room and you were looking for Connor who wasn’t at his desk. You walked around the precinct, you watch others fall for the same prank you did, and you even saw Fowler fall for it. Connor got the whole precinct really well with this joke since he got almost or maybe he even got all of the officers with it. You finally found Connor, who was hiding in the evidence archive, he told you he even got the SWAT Team’s captain with it. It surprises you that he got Captain David Allen with his prank because the man is observant as fuck and wouldn’t let anything pass him

The Honking Door

       It has been a week or so since Connor pulled his first prank on the whole DPD Central Precinct and he hasn’t done another one in a while, and it had everyone on edge at the precinct, but the next prank hit a little closer to home or a lot closer to home and it would need man’s best friend for it to work. You and Hank were sitting on the couch watching a Detroit Gears game from the night before that they had missed due to their work schedule

HONK!

       "Ugh,” you said as you looked around your papa’s house and then looked at your papa. “Papa, where the fucking hell is that damn honking noise coming from.” Her brothers had left to visit New Jericho and to see Markus and the other leaders of Jericho

       "I don’t know but fucking hell, it’s getting annoying.” The two looked around as they heard more honking around the house and you two were puzzled as you kept hearing a honking sound. You looked around and saw Sumo running in and out of your room with his leash attached and there was a honking every time Sumo enter and left room. He would open the door and then close and there would be a honk. You open the door and let Sumo free from his leash as you looked behind your door and saw an air horn as you shook you head and muttered

"Damn it, Connor!” A plan began to formulate in your mind as you began to think of a way to prank your brothers mostly Connor back for this and the other damn prank and the most devious idea came to my mind, but I am going to wait to see if he does another prank on me before I do it

Disappearing clothing

You walked out of the bathroom and into your room and went to go change into your comfortable clothing and your drawers were empty and you opened every drawer and looked everywhere, and you couldn’t find any piece of clothing to wear. "WHICH ONE OF YOU DID THIS‽” You paused as your brothers looked at each other and you knew who exactly did this to you and then the other three stares at Connor as he mumbled something that sounded like traitor to his other brothers. “CONNOR!” You screamed as you walked out of your room with only a towel on your waist and your hair up in a towel as Connor and the other excerpt your father were laughing at you as you grabbed Connor by the scuff of the nightshirt that he was wearing and growled at him

       "WHERE! ARE! MY! FUCKING! CLOTHING! CONNOR‽ THIS IS NOT FUNNY, AT ALL!” You screamed at him as he shrunk back and said

       "Y/N, your clothing’s are in your closet with all of your formal wear for galas.” You shook your head as he said this, as you realized that it was the only place that you hadn’t looked because you normally only keep the dresses that you wear or get for the police benefit galas that you have to go to on an occasion in your closet. The rest was kept folded neatly in your wardrobe or hung up in your dresser

       "Damn, you Connor.” You mumbled to yourself as you turned back around and walked back to your room grumbling about brothers and their stupid pranks as your Papa shook his head at your guys antics, but he also started to formulate a couple of prank ideas to get back at his android sons. He then thought of Cole who would have enjoyed the antics that the androids and his sisters were getting into

Paradox

       This would be one of the few times that you would get your brothers back with a prank. It’s mostly Connor but the others helped him set the pranks up. So, you had to prank the others, too. The four RK models were sitting at the dining room table talking to each other and it was the perfect time to strike. You walked up to the four and said

       "This sentence is false.” The four froze as you said this, and then they crashed, as you walked away. the four RK Units eventually rebooted from their crash. Hank was confused until you explained to him what the Liar Paradox was

       "So, if I say this sentence is false. Is it true that the sentence is false or is it false and not true at all?” This even confused Hank even after you had explained it to him and made the rebooting androids crash again

RK900

       The Anderson children minus Conan who wasn’t even in the room with the rest of his family, he was off talking to Fowler. They all had big grin on their face as they wait for Gavin to get into the precinct and to be called into Fowler’s office, to be introduced to his new partner. The other had already been assigned to their partners. Connor got to stay with Hank, Colin was partner with Captain David Allen of the SWAT team who was still bitter about getting hit with Connor’s candy bowl prank, and Caleb was partner up with Chris Miller. That only leaves Conan and you with no partner. You ended up a floater, you would still be working with Gavin but when every someone need a partner you would sub in and with you being Gavin’s partner most of the time, Captain Fowler decided to see how the android with a similar personality would deal with a human that had the same personality. The four Anderson watched as Gavin clocked in and entered the Precinct and Fowler called him in. Twenty minutes later Gavin stormed back out and Conan followed behind him as he left the bull pen, but he didn’t follow him out. You turned to Connor and said

       "Pay up.” He nodded his head as he whispered something in your ear as you shook your head. “All right, all right, it can wait. I should go check on my partner, you guys go check on Conan while I deal with Reed.”

A Moment with Gavin Reed

       I walked outside and found Gavin sitting on a bench nearby, smoking. I set down next to him. "Hey, are you alright?” I asked him, and he looked up at me

       "No, not really.” He said as he shook his head. “I cannot believe that I’ve been paired up with a plastic prick.”

       "Hey that plastic prick as you put it, is my brother, and I was the one to ask the captain to pair us up with him. The reasoning is he has not deviated like the others. He was built to ‘never’ deviate unlike his brothers and Markus doesn’t know what to do with him. We thought Connor was able to awaken him, but we were wrong. We think if he had to deal with someone like you, you might cause him to deviate and break his wall down.” I explained to Gavin.

My Relationship With Tattoos

Art as we know it comes in any medium. It could be a portrait, a scuplture, a dish, a film or even a fighting style. The canvas and the medium may change, but one thing remains constant. It represents something. One's feelings, identity, code, maybe even culture. Tattoos are not far from this. They are pieces of art etched on a living canvas. Just like any piece of art can be viewed differently by the artist, the wearer as well as the mere spectator. The same perception could also be rooted from a personal interpretation/bias, cultural influence, and etc.

The Philippines, while still attempting to develop have yet to change its view on tattooing. To some, it is in fact seen at an artistic light whereas most view them with negative connotations. Some even view tattooed individuals as nothing but bottom dwellers, drug addicts, criminals, anything synonymous with the word undesirable. We even have a senator that says exactly these words about tattooed individuals, as do most conservative folks. Which is ironic considering that tattoos once played a significant role in the pre-colonial history. It often dsiplayed one's role, accomplishments, clan, and even social status. One of our most well-reputed national artists happen to be Whang-Od. To the uninitiated, she is currently the last living traditional tattoo artist around these parts. She is well sought out by visitors both domestic and foreign. In all sincerity, I'd like to see that senator try and publicly call her a drug addict to her face. Like I said, The Philippines has yet to be anywhere near ready to adapt to a modern society. And with it, more progressive views.

I for one had a neutral stance on them. I should know, I have four of them and have gone through five sessions all in all. But before that, I remember wanting to get one as far as when I was in college and even intending to get two particular pieces. One being WWE Superstar Edge's Rise Above wrist piece and Toryn Green's sinner and saint ambigram. This what happens when you grow up being a fan of hard rock music, professional wrestling and mixed martial arts. Although what kept me from getting tattooed was the fear of being an ineligible blood donor, as well as the fear of being unemployable in the future.

That however changed after I graduated. Turns out, most corporate environments won't even bat an eye at an upper management figure sporting full sleeves and stretched earlobes. Others may not be as lenient. But it hardly impacted how they're received in the company.  I even had a chance to get a session done in 2013 but it kept falling apart.

It didn't cross my mind until 2017 and that's that I finally decided to go for it. I remembered seeing a simple but perfectly symmetrical geometric arrow design. The design was perfect. I also happen to love archery. So I literally had no other issue with it. I later ended up getting referred by my cousin to her artist who did her wrist piece months prior. The three weeks leading up to that session, I let my folks know in advance that I am getting a tattoo. I didn't wait for their approval or anything. I made it clear that I’m getting inked. Furthermore, I’d like to point out that I am a regular subscriber to Aaron Marino’s YouTube Channel (you may know him as Alpha M). I then took some crucial tips regarding tattoos. I had the certainty down as long as I follow one crucial tip. You have a whole sea of skin all over you. So out of all that, just avoid having one on your hands, neck, and face. If you can hide it with a dress shirt, it’s completely fine. 

On the day of my appointment, I literally just slapped on a sleeveless Avenged Sevenfold cut-off top, some shorts, with only my phone and wallet in hand before heading out for my session. It happened in a small studio just next to a small school in Pacita. Fortunately, I got there in time and I happened to be his only scheduled client for the day. What happened next was pivotal. I literally watched as the needle first touched my skin and slowly covered my birthmark. The session itself took over five hours. And what turned out to be the final product was an entirely different design. One which was inspired by the concept I sent, but also deviated from it. My parents despite having already been warned in advance were still initially shocked by it. They didn’t think I was actually going ahead with it. So this is the part where I retroactively followed what Jaiden Dittfach (of Jaiden Animations) said when she got her bird Ari. If you want really want something and your parents said no, get it anyway and trick them into loving it. Now that it’s on my skin, there really wasn’t much they could do about it. But at least they know its meaning and that it isn’t anything negative. I did have some issues with the product though and it took three more years before I finally got it fixed. For good this time. At least before the pandemic happened and it was done by a trusted friend. In her defense, she made the best of what she could work with then and even remarked how deep the first needle went. Fortunately, she managed to even out some places that needed to be polished.

The intended design (Image is courtesy of The Style Up ©)

The (first) finished product.

Finally fixed. 

In between all of this, I also managed to get three more pieces. It was November 12, 2018, a news shocked Marvel fans the world over. Stan Lee tragically passed away just six weeks shy of what would have been his 96th birthday. It was such a devastating loss of a figure who helped mold the childhoods of many. I wrote about it and posted it here shortly after. During those events, I remembered having come across the Wakandan alphabet before it hit me. But first, I had to consult a few friends in order to make sure that I wouldn’t be committing any act of cultural appropriation. After finally clearing that up, I sent my own design to a friend of mine (Who went on to do all of my ink from that point on) and booked the session. Thanksgiving day later came and I realized that we had no work that day. So I later called her up to see if she was free. Fortunately, she was and I finally had it etched on my right forearm. It was the Latin word “Excelsior” that literally translates to ever upward. It was also Stan’s catchphrase. The feeling of getting that piece was a lot more different than the previous one. This came with a wave of emotion. Because the significance could even be traced from my childhood and I grew up around this fandom and it meant more to me than just entertainment. It helped shape part of my identity. It’s literally the one piece I wish I could have flashed on a camera next to Stan himself. One thing’s for sure both Stan Lee and Chadwick Boseman would have thought it was a wise choice for a piece of ink on one’s skin. 

“Excelsior”

- Stan Lee

Upon having gone through a tattoo session, you can only describe the feel of a needle as a sting. But you wouldn’t exactly call it pain. That isn’t an opinion, that is a fact. Another thing one must know upon getting a tattoo is that you will later want additional pieces. Your skin will want the feel of that needle again. And while my parents said that would be my last piece, I simply couldn’t promise that. This time around, I’ve been looking to get a Cthulhu tattoo since December 2018. Of course, being busy as always, I couldn’t find a time to arrange it. I would only do so once I’m sure I’m completely free for that day. I live two lives. Both as a corporate guy and a public figure. Spare time and sleep are luxuries I can’t always afford. And after all the planning, I finally booked it. I literally went to my friend’s place right away to have it done. The session was of reasonable length and it felt different. Both of my previous tattoos were done on my right forearm. Both of which had uplifting personal meanings. A darker piece like that would be completely out of place in that part of my body. So I opted for my left bicep. It was surreal. I’m a man invested into multiple fandoms and H.P. Lovecraft’s universe is definitely in that list. There’s just something about the occult and the unknown horrors of the cosmos that piqued my interest since my formative years. This was me finally marking that on my skin. If there’s one of Lovecraft’s most iconic creations that deserved that spot, it was the famed Dreamer of R’lyeh himself. If the excelsior tattoo gave a rush of innocence that I hadn’t felt in ages, this was different. It had that enigmatic aura around it which made it all the more perfect. The piece came together so well and it was on an arm that a needle had yet to kiss. After the session, you could say I probably found out how the Sam Raimi Peter Parker felt when he first put on the black symbiote suit. Minus the dance when he exited that tailor shop. I also ended up getting a freehand bonus on my right wrist again. Just something Roxy threw in. It was the Latin phrase “Sic Parvis Magna.” which literally translates to “Thus great things come from small things.” or better yet, greatness from small beginnings. Which is another phrase I hold dear considering my humble origins.

“Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn”

“In his house at R’lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.”

“Thus great things come from small things.”

That certainly wouldn’t be the end of it. Again, while my folks insisted that I got my last pieces, I still can’t promise that. One thing’s for sure, I wouldn’t get any piece that either stands for something that abridges the rights of another human being, nor would any of my upcoming pieces ever wrongly appropriate a culture. Ultimately, I would always advise everyone to at least take Aaron Marino’s advise to heart. Don’t get one that you wouldn’t want to show your folks. You also have a whole sea of skin around you, so avoid having one on your hands, neck and face. I’m definitely not done stepping next to a needle. I still have plans on some pieces. But I always see to their significance. It’s always wise to do exactly that. Getting a tattoo isn’t a joke. It’s a commitment. One that can even outlive a marriage. So it pays to take every choice into consideration. Some of us choose to wear our hearts on our sleeve and some do so literally.

July 10th, 2020

Once the final line up was revealed, I checked up on everyone. Everyone minus Jooheon was complaining and asked how Kyun manipulated his way in.

That's when I started to feel guilty. I saw potential in him and had to ask my dad to debut him. Normally being numb to everyone being so talented, Changkyun was just someone different to me. I ran off due to so much guilt.

On that night, I cried myself to sleep. My original plan was to celebrate with the new formed Monsta X with fried chicken and drinks.

The next day, I walked in the No Mercy dorm where everyone was planning up. Gunhee being disappointed that he couldn't debut with Jooheon aka his ride or die. Thankfully, I told my dad to give him a second chance. Then, there's Yoonho who trained for a long time. I was gonna tell my dad to form a group for him and the other trainees, but hr decided to move on along with the other members. Thankfully, Minkyun left the company before I got a chance to talk to him(phew...)

That leaves me with Monsta X. I helped them move into their new dorm room and ate with them. Kihyun started to cook food for the first time in his life at that moment, but the food got burned which is why we all ordered some Chinese food and ramen for Wonho(that boy would die for a bowl for ramen, trust me). I apologized to everyone for letting Changkyun debut with them. Jooheon actually convinced his fellow members to get along with them which is why I been forgiven.

The next few months, I watched them prepare for their debut. I started to know them a bit more and drift away from the trainees and their seniors.

(I got to help Kihyun ask out a trainee girl who ended up being his BONitA lady friend. Hyungwon was dating a mature ass woman who was super lucky until we realized that she was trash. Or should I say that she was Hyungwon'd Tammy[Sorry Parks and Rec reference]. Wonho was with a transgender man who he supported through his transition)

Anyways, the closer I got to Monsta X, my actual crush for Kyun grew so much that I gotta date him. Then, they started to be busy once they officially debuted which means I have to go back to my life of babysitting trainees and talking to my seniors and god father when they're not busy.

One year later

Around the All In promotions, I got a phone call. It was the guys. Since then, they had an okay debut. Finally got some fans over their song Hero which I so fucking fought for to be promoted (but my dad had to make the choice of giving them a "broadcast" version and a digital repackage. Dude, get out of here). They were all simping over a lesbian (yup Eunseo is a lesbian and a huge Monbebe uwu) for their Rush MV. I only stopped by for birthdays and when the puppy line(Minhyuk the beagle pup and Changkyun the wolf pup got injured).

Now I reminded myself, the time when Changkyun was injured and didn't promote a Chinese drama with his fellow members. Anyways, I stopped by to see him everyday and stay for hours(or if I was told to leave by the nurses). I'd give him a healthy meal and talk about ourselves and life after he debuted.

I learned about a group who were called Nu'bility where Kyun was gonna debut. The real reason why he left is because he didn't think he would debut and the company was broke asf. He tried to have all of the other members audition to Starshit. Sadly, none of them saw themselves debuting there and went to other companies.

The more time we spent together, the closer I fell hard for him. I wanted to tell him how I feel about him but I couldn't. I was so close to kissing him once at the hospital, but I ran off and cried to myself.

Back to May 2016, the guys invited me for fried chicken. I went to see him. Out of all the spots I could sit next to, there was a free spot next to a soft short haired wolf pup. I sat there and ate. When I was told that I got gochujang on my lip, I expected that cute k drama like kiss. Like what happened in the cafe scene of Secret Garden(I FUCKING LOVE THAT DRAMA DON'T @ ME). All I got was a napkin swipe and did it myself. :(

I ended up getting sleepy after the meal. Being the strongest of the group at the time, Hyunwoo carrying me on his back. We walked to my home which I tried to direct them to as I try not to fall asleep. I don't remember what's next since I fell asleep. I woke up in my comfy bed while laying next to a Gudetama plush.

Once again, I couldn't tell Changkyun how I feel. I was pissed at my self again as I hit my head with the Gudetama.

Months later, the guys and I reconnected. I helped Hyungwon deal with his broke up with Tammy II(again Parks and Rec reference). I chose Stuck as a promotional song(which they now regret since they don't even perform it anymore 😔). Organized their first solo concert. I got something to do but I wasn't paid for my work. That's okay, my dad is rich anyways. 🤗

2017, it was near the promotions for Beautiful. I asked Mr.Im Changkyun/Dany Im to go out for sushi and bingsu. Surprisingly, he aceepted the offer. Being my first date, I watch a lot of fake ass hoes on YouTube on how to have a good first time. If having fun mean ending up like Troy with his eyes popping out and being frozen when he was around LeVar Burton in the episode Immediate Flimmaking, then imma shit myself. The fact that I was going on a date that boi was an insane as concept for me to process.

May 11, 2017, this was my first date. I was mentally screaming when we ordered some sushi that is being cooked by a highly skilled chef that was cutting at his own pace for quality reasons. Damn, I was turning into Troy bruh. I was scared. My leg shakes as I wait for my roll with eel on it(if only that eel wasn't dead, it would electrocute some sense into me). We ate but he took the lead in talking. It scares me.

He took my hand which was not helping my anxiety (normal anxiety not the disorder). He took me to get bingsu. For me, he ordered me a matcha flavored and fed me like a baby while taunting me.

On that night before going home, we saw the city on the roof of my dad's company. We finally kissed and went home. Nothing sexual happened after that. That was the moment when we became a couple.

We didn't fuck until six months within the relationship. (Don't worry we consented at that time and after that). Tried to spend young couple holidays together.

We expected it to be only us for a LONG WHILE. Then, we had our little boy Im Chungae/Madrid Troy Im.

Yes, he kicked me out when Hoseok was accused of such ridiculous allegations. Sadly, I never stopped loving him. No one can replace him especially Nakamoto Yuta aka my current boyfriend. Let's just say I treasure Im Changkyun very much. I would never want to abandon him. 6 ME KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJK

hey katie--could you do a ranking of all of the amber benson movies you've seen, from favorite to least favorite? :)

This is an EXCELLENT question, thank you, Clem! I took it a little too seriously maybe (and i’m a little drunk and long-winded), but you asked, so I’m giving a good answer ;) 

I pulled out my handy dandy masterlist of Amber’s work and started categorizing her movies! (fun pic to clarify that i am the world’s biggest nerd)

Also please note that these are just my opinions - I am by no means a film critic or an expert on anything, I’ve just seen a lot of Amber Benson movies! 

Never seen: (if anyone has links, send em over please)Hollywood, PennsylvaniaLong Island Confidential

Not yet released: The Griddle HouseSelling IsobelThe Nightmare GalleryGlossary of Broken Dreams

Here’s where it gets fun!

Terrible:Act Your Age - this movie is not very good, and she’s hardly in it, so it gets a “terrible” ranking, yikes!

Meh all around (worst to best):The Blue Tooth Virgin - she’s in literally two minutes. i couldn’t watch the restDon’s Plum - i’ve only seen her parts! and apart from her face, i found them pretty unlikeable. :/ SFW - she’s in like ten minutes at the end. looking very adorable with round cheeks and round glasses. the rest of the movie is just okJack Reed (all three) - TV movies. She was SO YOUNG but she’s only in a couple scenes each. From what I’ve seen, they’re fine, nothing groundbreakingSimple Things - this is just bad, and she’s not really in it that much, but it could be worse. somehow. don’t ask me howKiss the Bride - again, i’ve only seen her parts, and they’re underwhelmingThe Crooked Man - so she plays a nice mom, and then she has a shotgun, and then she wears scrubs and gets murdered. she’s so pretty and tragic. but the whole movie is just…. so shitty and she’s only in 10 minutes of it. so it’s meh

Okay for plot, not for Amber:The Prime Gig - this is actually a pretty good movie! i enjoyed it. she’s really not in it much at all - definitely a background character, and she only has a few lines. but i sat through the whole movie and she looks super badass in her few appearances.Imaginary Crimes - another background character, but with many more lines this time. she’s very young and very adorable. another movie where i watched the whole thing, because it was good all around, and not just for her face! 

Okay for Amber, not for plot: Taboo - oh my god, Taboo. I rewatch this all the time because she’s extra hot in it - she plays drunk the whole time, and at one point wears a nightie and a collar - but oh my god it’s so bad. the plot is weird, the dialog is stilted, the acting is so wooden. just a terrible movie, but with one hot amberIntermedio - see above! she had a broken foot when they filmed this, and is on crutches the whole time. her hair is super long and she wears a pretty short skirt. those are the biggest selling points…. oh and she gets chopped in halfTripping Forward - ugh, i kinda hate this movie, because the leading guy makes me feel uncomfortable. i just don’t like his face or voice or personality. but amber is beautiful and cool and has streaks of blue in her hair. honestly you should skip watching this movie and just look at the beautiful gifs maria made insteadHoliday Wishes - this is hard, because it’s pretty bad, but i want to like it! it’s a christmas movie, she’s in love with a ghost, there’s some body switching, ugh. the plot just really irritates me and i find different things to complain about every time. and whoever dressed her should be fired. but she’s pretty and she’s the lead actress, so that has to count for somethingOne-Eyed Monster - never tell amber this, but i don’t like this movie…. she really likes it so it makes me feel bad to dislike it :/ it’s about these people shooting a porno in the mountains. she’s the makeup artist. ron jeremy’s dick gets possessed by an alien, and it impregnates amber and kills everyone else. it’s so weird and so not my humor…. but amber loves is and amber looks great in it, so, watch it i guess? Attack of the Gryphon - this would be ranked better if the gryphon wasn’t so flipping bad! the cgi just ruins the whole thing. well that and the evil sorcerer’s weird slutty sidekicks. i dunno. amber plays a badass, sword-fighting princess, and at one point (where she’s kissing a mediocre guy) you can see her whole back, which is lovely. she does a cute accent too. this is ranked highest in this category because she worked so hard to do the accent, ride a horse, fight with the sword, etc, but she couldn’t save this movie. Pretty decent:Latter Days - a heartwarming film about gay love! amber isn’t a huge character but she’s good.Another Harvest Moon - another heartwarming one, this time about folks in a nursing home. amber has blue hair again (what’s with her and blue hair) and it’s very sweet! The Crush - just. iconic. watch it. she’s so little and it’s just a really really good filmDust Up - a slightly weird Western horror type movie. lots of gore and drugs. she is a total badass at the end. and holds a baby! mom!amber! Desire Will Set You Free - the biggest selling point is the lesbian sex scene. i don’t super love most of the movie, probably because i’m a boring old lady who’s not involved in the berlin gay party/drug scene. but her parts are excellent and she kisses a lady!!!! and protects a beautiful trans lady! she’s so good! King of the Hill - possibly her favorite film she’s ever worked on, and one of her first. it’s really good. young Jesse Bradford is the lead character. she’s got a small part as his neighbor. she got to dance with him and kiss him! and then have a seizure on the floor. she’s very good and the film as a whole is excellent. long and slightly depressing, or maybe just bittersweet, but definitely a good one. House of Demons - this is high on the list because i literally just watched it. she’s a hippie! who time travels! and she trips on acid! she’s very pretty and angelic, and the film has a really interesting premise. definitely will watch again. The Killing Jar - oh i unabashedly love this. she’s a small-town waitress who gets held hostage at her restaurant. no spoilers but she doesn’t die, woohoo, and is a lowkey badass. add her pretty face and southern accent and it’s just great.

Amazing:Can’t Hardly Wait - ok forget the fact that she’s in it for like two seconds, i fucking love this movie, it’s so goodBye Bye Love - tiny teenage amber and eliza! ahh i love this. another heartwarming one. she has a decently big role and she’s just so cuteChance - YES. love. so much respect for amber. she wrote and produced and directed and starred and edited. and kissed james marsters. and was amazing. go watch this! it’s on youtube! she’s incredible! Lovers, Liars, and Lunatics - all of the above (minus the kissing) but better. funnier and tighter. she’s an adorable clumsy burglar. it’s excellentStrictly Sexual - ohhhhh god oh god. she’s not the most likeable character but holy fuck is she sexy. there’s just…. a lot of sex and drinking and smoking, a lot of excellent outfits, a lot of cursing, a lot of amber being to-die-for sexy and gah. plus she’s in the whole thing! as ¼ of the main cast! lots of sexy amber! Race You To the Bottom - !!!! i love this movie!!! so much!!!! she is just incredible. and it’s a good movie too! i mean again she’s not the most likeable, and neither is her love interest, but it’s okay because she’s so hot! and she’s again in the whole thing, but this time as ½ of the main cast, and therefore she gets almost ½ of the screentime and it’s so so so good7 Things To Do Before I’m 30 - MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE AMBER MOVIE. oh my god it’s just the most amazing thing i’ve ever seen. she’s so adorable through the whole thing, and she’s IN the whole thing! as the star! the lead character! the one who all the plot revolves around! !!!!! do you know how groundbreaking that is for an amber movie!!!! not to mention she looks SMOKING the whole time. i mean how many times have i reblogged the bikini scene??? watch it for that alone. you’ll start it for the bikini and then continue for the adorable love story and her character arc. oh my god just go watch this movie now

to anyone who read this whole thing… bless your heart. thank you clem for letting me yell about amber so much. i think ive spent my whole tumblr career building toward this ask. thank you thank you and i love you clem and i love you all and i love amber benson the most!!!!

(see we’ve come full circle because clem made this for me and now i’m amber hugging clem) (does that make sense)

DCOM Rankings #89: Radio Rebel

the reason this review took so long is that I’m engaged now!! Im a fiancé!! So that happened.

Anywayyyyy time to talk about this cringe fest! Now there was a brief tik tok trend like a year ago about this movie and I think it distorted my views on the movie just a little bit but honestly I think it deserved it. There are rumors that Disney plus doesn’t have this movie because it’s ashamed of it. But really it’s just copyright laws, cuz it was made in conjunction with a Canadian company.

BUT I was able to watch the whole thing on YouTube for free so if any of you want to watch it for whatever messed up reason, someone recorded it on their tv in its entirety in 39 parts. Not good quality at all but they put the subtitles on and there’s no background noise so it was an easy watch (in that aspect...).

So where do I even start with this movie? I honestly thought frienemies was the cringiest thing I’ve ever seen...oh boy. I was way wrong. Well actually, let me correct myself, this movie is both cringey AND sends bad messaging!

I’m trying to think if there’s anything good about this movie I can say before I completely obiterate it...hmmmmm. I will say this! It was way more entertaining than Frienemies. And some of the other C and below movies on my list. It kept my attention and now it’s kind of iconic (in a not so good way but still).

But like the attention wasn’t always good attention. So let’s just dive in to the review and if I find something good I’ll talk about it but this is basically a roast. And I’m here for it!

So...again it’s hard to know where to start but let’s go with the overall story. I LIKE the concept of an alter ego radio host who is actually super shy in real life. I really do think that’s interesting! But the execution of this was really not easy to watch....It’s like a really cringey insane version of hatching Pete. I would prefer hatching Pete over this any day of my life. Even if that movie still wasn’t the best either. If they were less over the top with it and actually got real, with real problems, then maybe I would have liked it.

Okay, the characters. I don’t really like any of them maybe except for Gavin. He was the only sane character in the entire movie. And I think the only person that got the message of the movie (the good message anyway) while his band mates are literally in another world, like shut up you’re in high school!!! It was the most annoying scene when Gavin was like “hey have you seen Tara? She’s supposed to be here for our school assignment” “omg stop thinking about Tara, only think about Stacy, she’s higher class and good for our image”

....

“Ummm yeah I literally just asked you if you’ve seen her because we were partnered up on a school project and we literally present next . School?? Do you remember school?? The place we’re at right now? Where we have homework and books and normal things going on? Do you even care that you’re not in class right now??”

I get that like Gavin calls him out on his bullshit a little bit but I wish he took an extra punch like what I said above. Anyway...

I think I would have liked Tara a lot more if it wasn’t Debbie Ryan playing her. And I do feel bad because she was great in suite life, but she literaly cannot play a shy character, because she’s not a shy person, at least that’s how I perceive her to be based on interviews and such. But besides the acting piece. She goes out and gives all this great advice to folks but never takes it herself. That and, I watched one review that made a really good point, Tara’s messaging is really mixed. Some of it is good, like telling folks to wear red tomorrow as a solidarity thing, that was good! But telling folks to disrupt class and stick it to the man, and get people in trouble, including the school, yikes. Like she was under the threat of expulsion the entire time and it was seen as an unfair thing in the movie, ummm no that was pretty justified if you hired an entire radio station to have a unauthorized dance party in the school parking lot during the day time. I would understand if they threatened expulsion after the “wear red” thing or if something happened off school property, like far off, not just a foot. But yeah I wish her messaging was more consistent with “be who you are” and “get rid of the classist high school system” rather than “stick it to the teachers and principal, they suck and take away your ipods!”

As for the other characters, they’re just kind of annoying, they try to be funny but they’re just cringey and the writers/director are clearly out of touch with how high school kids really act. (I hate the best friend character so much) And the PARENTS! Let’s talk about the parents for a second! Not only does Tara condone disrespecting your teachers in the name of...freedom? but her parents are all for it! Even when Tara was actually worried about getting expelled. Her mom was literally “I don’t careee you’re giving people a voice at the cost of your high school permanent record and college acceptances!” When her dad walks into the studio one day and was like “hey not cool to use the slam name to throw an unauthorized party at your school” “but I’m giving them a voice” “oh okay then carry on!”.

Ok, I GET what the message of the movie was trying to be. Well actually I don’t now that I think about it. But obviously it was all good intentions. Like all the stuff about being your true authentic self but also not being different from your classmates....? Like I really think they needed to stick with one message and stay in that lane, because it gets too confusing that way. But anyway, I GET what they were trying to go for, it just failed miserably. That was the movie’s main problem. It wanted to connect with high school teens on a deeper level and 1. It didn’t know what avenue to take so it took all of them, and 2. It ended up being the least relatable thing on television.

Basically, it’s like everyone is in another dimension where normal people don’t exist. It’s all these crazy wacky over the top characters in a place where no one cares about school. Only social status and fame. Even the parents agree. But oh noooo that mean ol’ principal, who yes was also a mustache twisty villain, took my iPod and now it’s revenge time. Like okay Stacy was the true villain here, she manipulated everybody, including the principal, into doing what she wanted. But no it’s all the principal’s fault because she’s the authority! And you’re made to hate her because she says evil stuff. This movie was just all over the place and didn’t know what to do with itself. So this review is also all over the place because of it.

Maybe it’s because I’ve officially grown out of the new movies. Maybe if I was younger I would have liked this movie a lot more. Maybe I’m biased because I watched a few other reviews before posting this one. I don’t know. But I think this movie has a lot more wrong with it that just being cringey. I now expect most of not all the future DCOMS to be at least a little cringey just because they are being made for a new generation. It’s sad, but at least it will be over soon!

Okay grade time! I honestly don’t know if I want to give this a minus or not. Like I said, this was bad but kind of a hilarious bad. Like it’s still somewhat entertaining but in a bad way. It kept my attention at least. So maybe I’ll stick with a regular C on this one. I feel like I should give it a D but I don’t know....I feel weird because the movie obviously had a big ish budget for a DCOM I feel like, so the movie LOOKS fine. Agghhhh. But yeah if I’m struggling to find one or two good things about this movie, maybe I should put it at a D level. Hmmm would I rather watch this or den brother....? Definitely this! So wherever it goes, it’s going above that for sure.

Sighhh ranking these is going to be harder than I thought...but it is what it is! I have no idea what the next movie is, I didn’t check the list, so it will be a surprise! See ya then! Hope I post this review in a somewhat timely manner...

Some Thoughts about BTS...

So... this is basically, the story of how I got in and out of the BTS fandom. (Okay not exactly out because I’m still casually following them nowadays)

How I discovered them is ironically, like many of you, through youtube. It was just before the Run era I guess??? (around the end of 2015). Like somewhen between the Dope and Run era that I got in the fandom.

I guess I can consider myself as one of those depressed fans (lol), I actually remembered there was a option in the BTS fan survey around their BS&T era(???) that said “are you the kind of person that is easily depressed” and I ticked yes.

Almost instantaneously, I fell for the song “Butterfly” it was just the prologue that released back then. The MV was beautifully made, with a sad happy yet depressed undertone, perfectly described how I’m feeling back then.

I first noticed I’m depressed back then in 2015 (let’s be honest, college makes everyone depressed), more like “ahh so this is what being depressed is”. 

And what now... I’m writing this after a tiring long day at work so things may jump back and forth... 

Both their HYYH albums, I had gone through countless late nights listening the tracks on repeat, those are still my favourite albums up till today. Beapsae, instead of partying, that was the song that kept me awake till 5 a.m. ahh those memories... Same with Dope, I did not read the english lyrics until the hundredth repeat lmao. I was actually expecting the song to be about how cool I am, come to oppa and I’ll make you the princess kind of lyrics but ehh boi you surprised me with those raps hmmm....... 

And... Jungkook, I did not like him when I first got into the fandom, to be honest. Because he’s younger than me and also he’s the center, main vocal of the group, despite the youngest. I remembered I was like, wow cocky brat isn’t it. Hehhhhhh but I grew to like him over time anyway, he’s cute, talented, good looking and all but still, it would be hella a headache if I were to have a younger brother like him.

It took me a year to like Jungkook because... The more I look at stuff, he’s just a regular boy, growing up, working hard, trying not to disappoint his parents and people around him. In a sense, aren’t we all just like that? There really is no reason to hate. 

Another member is Jimin. He’s another member that I don’t quite like when I just got in the fandom. We all know that he acted a bit flirtatious during his debut days, up to the Danger era, honestly, his eye make-up makes me feeling uncomfortable to look at him. That’s the first thing. The appearance and the way he acts, in no way I’m trying to say he’s ugly, because if I were to compare myself to him, umm I probably looked like a bum lol.

It took me a lot longer to like Jimin, it’s until the Spring Day era that I thought, alright Jimin is charismatic and cute, admit it. Hah yea... Now, this is when the second stage of not liking Jimin comes. I started to fear him. It’s weird I know, why would I scared of “the mochi of BTS” Let me tell you why.

It’s scary to see how hard a person can work, that his goal is probably more important than his life. It makes me think that I am not and will not be a person like this, living is more important than what I am achieving. I wouldn’t want to risk my life doing things, however important that thing might be. Well people said, you will never achieve your goal like this if you don’t put your life on it. But I don’t care about that, but at the same time I’m feeling guilty about that. 

It might be a Korean thing, we all know Koreans worked insanely hard because of society standards. Or it also could be a Jimin thing, Nevertheless, this man have my respect. The respect that I keeps me away from accepting him.

I’m kind of in the neutral range with Suga, J-hope and Jin like they are cool, fantastic, great people. 

-----

This is almost 24 hours later, since the last paragraph. Again, a long and tiring day, after work, prolly a few minutes away from losing consciousness (a.k.a. falling asleep lol)

This shit is going to be very VERY long, nah it doesn’t matter because no one is going to read this anyway, even if I tagged BTS below, I’m writing this for myself.

I’ll just briefly talk about RM and V before going into my main topic today, (all because I cut myself off yesterday to hit the hay ekkk).

Rapmon bro, the reason why I decided to look into this group is because of his mixtape. I have 2 of his tracks in my old phone back then, everything was gone when my phone literally died a few months back. (The whole album is available for free download anyway so its all good) I have no interest in hip hop or whatsoever back then, but I became interested in hip-hop just a little after listening to his mixtape album. He is really someone I look up to, honestly, it’s no easy job to be a leader, not just in idol groups but just in every field in general. I tried becoming one because my mother always expect me to be one, after a few attempts (it was back in high school by the way) I thought it’s just not my thing, I’m more of a following instruction kind of person, I do my part and make sure everyone is okay. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t want to become a leader like person. In the future, maybe... But my depression went really downhill these days, so I’m not sure if that day will come. But I do aspire to become someone like him.

V or I prefer calling him Tae. He is my first bias. His existence just screams “RELATABLE” to me, (minus his looks) He seemed to be struggling with words whenever he tries to say something. That also is something I had to deal with on a daily basis. It’s like when you have good looks, everything you did is cute, but for me, it’s more like an annoyance. So I tried to keep quiet as much as possible. Nevertheless, I just hope that I will meet someone that will understand the way I talk like the other BTS members did with Tae, have a best friend like Jimin and... yea.

BTS hmm the annual sit and talk for part of their BTS Festa thingy, it’s called the Dinner Party this year hmm cool. I stopped watching after the first 30 minutes, for the exact reason why I also did not watch more than 5 minutes of last year’s sit and talk.

We all know that, they had achieved tremendous success for the past few years. A lot of their songs often circle around their hardships and what fuck the haters?? If that make sense. Whenever they have talks like this, I always bail myself out there, and yea I never install Vlive back after I got this new phone because there really is no reason to catch every live and Run BTS episodes now.

This was not long before the DNA era, I always found myself having thoughts like:

“So you have started to avoid BTS hmm?” Yea right, took me a while to admit. I used to not miss a single notification. There is no more random videos on the BangtanTV channel as they get more and more popular, there is just backstages and really just back stages and behind the scenes of their daily schedules and tours. It shows that they are working hard, really hard. Which leads me to the next question.

“It feels uncomfortable isn’t it, comparing yourself to a worldwide famous group of artist?” Hmph. I worked hard, really hard. I even live by the motto, do or die. But that doesn’t seemed to be enough. People around me, always told me that I should push myself more. I DID, I REALLY DID, BUT WHY CAN’T YOU SEE IT.

“But BTS can, why can’t you?” I’m just going to work harder, I tell myself. I don’t have to face the same pressure as BTS did, I’m having it way more easier. But at the same time, there is seven of them in BTS, but there is only one me.

The voice at the back of my head, you are not helping.

I swiped away all notifications from BangtanTV ever since. 

Because seeing them having each other around reminds me how am I not going to have friends like this, how I’m never going to achieve this much. But mostly it reminds me how lonely I am.

By the time the Mic Drop remix released, I started having what I called the depressive episodes. I think I’m going to describe them as a waking nightmare, all the thoughts in my head are killing each other, fighting for the limited space in my head. Which ever thought that dominate my mind is the winner. I stared into blankness, tears and snots all over my face, hyperventilating while finding excuses to tell people what happened to me if anyone ever sees me. 

Honestly I don’t think people is going to read this... but the tag is down there just for the slightest hope that people that come across this will know that, ahh there are people like this out there too... Some of you might think, this is pathetic, attention seeking but at the end of the day, I just want some closure for myself. I need to admit that, no matter how much interviews I watch, how much memes I’ve seen everyday, they are not going to be my friends. They will forever be the people in screens, and I belong to the 97% of the population that will lead a normal life.

Here I am, the Fake Love era that comes to a close. I can’t even bring myself to listen to the whole album, because chances are, some of the lyrics are going to trigger the shit out of me. Same goes with Suga’s mixtape, J-hope’s mixtape.

I really miss the days where they made simple love songs like the ones in the Dark and Wild album. Blanket Kick is my personal favourite. 

I’m sure there are still a lot more that I had in mind but I just forget what is it about to include in this. I’ll get a part 2 done when there is time. 

BTS now just feels like the popular kids I went to school with, now graduated from a school named ARMY, they are like the ex-classmates I bump into once in a while. Thank you, for the best 3 years in my life. I had lots of laughter, times that I forgot about my sadness and your warm words that took me through difficult times. You are the reason that I survived until today and also the trigger of some of my episodes. 

SInce it’s already past midnight, I wanted to say Happy 5th debut anniversary, stay healthy (to both BTS and ARMY out there) be happy and may you all be reaching higher and higher till you celebrate your 10th anniversary. (or maybe longer)

*Just a sidenote, as a Malaysian fan, I’m just going to keep calling Rapmon, Rapmon because RM is our effin currency, I don’t want to be reminded of money issues whenever I thought of you. As far as I know, you do have a beautiful name as your mother definitely did not named you Rap Monster. It’s just that stage name exist for a reason. And I think I know at least 5 Jins in real life, so the wide shoulder hyung is just going to be Kim Seok Jin in my head haha yea.

Review of Samurai Jack Season Finale (for real this time)

I’m noticing a few critique videos pop up on youtube, and I can only imagine there’s a number of websites or threads on those sites, all of them saying something along the lines of “This ending SUCKED, can’t believe we waited ten years for this, so disappointing!”. Everyone’s entitled to have different levels of expectations, and it’s fine (and even a good thing) for fans to give their perspective on why something seemed disappointing to them. I’d like to offer my own view of the episode itself, just so I can be another drop in the bucket of the internet.  Keep in mind, I’m what most people would consider a casual when it comes to Samurai Jack as a whole. I enjoyed it a lot as a child, but I did not see every episode. It was impressive most of the time, but I don’t hold it on a pedestal above other animated series and say that it’s the best example of cartoons that others should follow (in other words, I’m not saying “Man, cartoons suck these days, they should be more like Samurai Jack!”. I thought it was an overall great series, and while I was excited by the announcement of it getting revived, I wasn’t jumping for joy like it was the second coming of Christ. With that said, let me give my overall impression of it before I go into detail.

I thought the finale was... good. Not great. Not AMAZING. Not PERFECT. It was good. I enjoyed it.  A lot of people might say that calling something “Good” is in fact non good; like it’s a polite way of saying it’s bad. That’s not true. One of my communications professors gave us a speech during last year’s fall semester about how the meaning of “good” has been warped over time, so that people get insulted when they hear something was “good”. I don’t remember the whole speech, but I remember one part of it was “good doesn’t mean bad: good means it was good, and that’s something you should be satisfied with hearing”. Yes, good means that there was room for improvement, improvement that could have made it GREAT, but just because it wasn’t great doesn’t mean it’s not good. So that’s my overall impression of the episode itself; it wasn’t bad, it wasn’t disappointing, but it didn’t blow my mind either. It was good, and made me feel happy that this was the conclusion.

SPOILERS BELOW:

First, let’s start with the stuff that I did not like, just so I can end this on a high note.

The pacing for this episode felt very rushed. I feel like more could have been done if they’d stretched the run time for this episode into 40 minutes (minus commercials) rather than sticking to the normal 20. I don’t know exactly what could have been done, but I feel like big Final Chapter series finale things like this should have a longer episode just so the fans can enjoy those final moments a little bit longer.  

I didn’t like that the previous episode showed Jack returning to the area where he fought the Guardian keeping him from using the time portal because he was “not ready... not yet.” Showing him return to that location made me feel like they were bringing that element back, like they were going to actually tie the new season back to the old one. Then the episode ends with Jack giving up, and the next episode shows Jack has been taken back to Aku’s palace, and the whole Guardian-Portal element just gets completely tossed out the window. 

I’m not exactly mad at the fact that the element wasn’t used, I just feel confused as to why they brought him back to that area if they weren’t even going to have it be important in any way. The only thing I can think of is that Genndy couldn’t think of a good way to tie that episode from the past into the new season, so he just had Jack return to the location in order to say “yeah, that’s not happening, moving on”. Kind of a letdown on that part; I would have rather they just have ignored the issue altogether, rather than hyping us up just to disappoint us. 

The other thing that kind of miffed me was the fact that it took so long for Ashi to fade from existence due to Aku being killed before he could impregnate her mother in the future. I understand there are no concrete rules to time travel and how altering the past alternates the future. Pretty much every time-travel movie or series has plot-holes that can be poked at, because its a fictional concept that doesn’t exist, therefore it can’t be compared to anything for accuracy (for instance, take Back to the Future 1 and 2. In the first one, you’d think that after Marty pushes his dad out of the way of the car and prevents his mother from falling in love with him he should disappear completely. Instead, he’s given a time limit to put them back together before he finally disappears, which I guess makes sense if they had their first kiss at the high school dance, then the time limit would be to get it done before the dance is over. Also in 2, Doc explains that they can’t go back to the future to stop Mary from buying the almanac, because then they’d travel to the future from the reality that Biff corrupted. But a number of scenes before that, Biff travels to the past, gives himself the book, then travels BACK to the future in which he DIDN’T give himself the book, that way Doc and Mary could get their car back and travel to their present time in which Biff ruined everything. As great as those movies are, yeah, there are some big inconsistencies like that.) So, my gripe isn’t so much a “that’s not how time travel works!” thing. It’s more like, I think Genndy knew that all the fans were predicting that Ashi would fade from existence after Aku died, so he decided to prolong it happening and wait until they were about to get married for time rules to finally kick in and erase her. I would have rather it be written where she disappeared immediately after Aku dies, predictable as it is, rather than it be written that it looks like it’s being unpredictable, then at the drop of a hat reveals it is indeed predictable. That’s kind of cheap to me. 

ONTO THE GOOD STUFF. 

-the fact that so many of the groups Jack had saved and defended were all watching their TV’s across the world -The fact that Aku’s broadcast began with the literal intro to the original TV series, complete with his narration up to the point where Jack was flung into the future. 

Seriously, I was holding my hands over my mouth to keep myself from screaming in excitement. 

-How about so many of the allies Jack made in the original series coming to fight Aku to save Jack, and that the fight itself was amazing?

-How about Ashi breaking free of Aku’s control, but still retaining his powers, including the power to open a time portal to the past? 

THIS was actually my favorite part of the episode. This is a great example of poetic justice (maybe even irony, but I’m not 100% on that). I love it when villains do themselves in like this, when they become the architect of their own destruction. Aku had spent the past several years destroying all of the ways for Jack to return to the past, effectively leaving him stuck in the future. By creating the daughters of Aku, he unintentionally created another portal for Jack to use. Aku was ultimately the architect of his own destruction, and I just love it when stuff like that happens in a story.  -The final battle between Jack and Aku in the past. For almost a year, I’ve been hoping that Jack would return to the exact moment where he failed and was thrown into the future. And Aku went down like a little punk. 

Some people might say that’s disappointing, but I like it this way because it makes the most sense. In their first fight, Jack whooped Aku’s butt to the point where he was about to die, before Aku used his magic to throw him into the future. He was weak and desperate, so he used some of his remaining power to get rid of him without killing him. If Future-Jack appears just a few seconds after Past-Jack vanishes, it makes sense that Aku wouldn’t have the strength to put up a decent fight. It’s very fitting to see him make a few weak swipes at him, then focus on running away, until Jack pounces on him and cleaves his head in two, finally destroying him once and for all. Ding-dong, the witch is dead! Ten years, five seasons, and the Shogun of Sorrow has been put six-feet-under. Mission accomplished, sucker. 

So yeah, there’s my take on it. Perfect? No, not even close to perfect. Entertaining? Yes. Satisfying? For the most part. The thing I’m taking away from this overall is the fact that we got an ending at all after all this time, and it was nowhere near a “bad” ending. Some people say that the ending is the most important part because it’s the final impression, and while there’s merit to that, I have to see Samurai Jack as an exception for this. The ending might not be better that all of the episodes that came before it, but added with everything we’ve seen beforehand, I’d say the overall series itself is astounding. 

After so much time and effort, he finally got back: back to the past.  Samurai Jack.

DOLLAR COLLAPSING 2020!?! BUY BITCOIN, Who funds development – Programmer explains

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

And we’re alive. Yes. Welcome to another episode of Good Morning Krypton here on an island on take we are of course broadcasting live straight out of Stockholm Sweden. And we do this show each and every day at 8:00 a.m. Central happy and summertime. Guys I’m coming to you like an atomic clock. Each and every day please be aware we switch to summertime see if your countries did not wish to summertime all streams are one hour earlier. Look we’re going to discuss the dollar because it’s not doing good guys at the end of the day it’s not doing good. And we’re going to go through some other world reserve currencies we’ve seen in the past and you will soon see that the time was limited for each world reserve currency and circumstances change very very very quickly. First and foremost if you look at the past century at the beginning of the past century you had the British pound completely dominating completely dominating the world. And you see how quickly British pound lost lost his position as number one and how dollar emerged very quickly because of certain circumstances in the world. And the same is happening right now. I do think that we’re witnessing a bolstered dollar world in the nearest future may be within maybe within menu of you who are watching lifetimes and maybe within even sooner than we think even within a timeframe that is even sooner sooner than many people think because this is what happened to the British pound nobody would have really imagined that it would disappear so quickly as no one. So that’s very important. Yes. And you understand that bitcoin is so key when we’re talking about this. This is the most important contest in terms of having a world where currency and where the state are two different things. Just like we discussed yesterday how religion sooner or later decoupled from the state in most countries religion and the state are two different things. Nowadays in most countries. The same is going to happen with currency with money. And we understand that money and currency are two different things here this currency. Bitcoin is money gold is money. So that’s going to be a big topic. Now we’re also going to discuss who funds Bitcoin. This is a big debate. This is a big question I always get. Who is funding these developers who are working on Bitcoin because it is open source. Nobody really gets paid from anyone. If you think about how open source works but obviously you do have companies sponsoring developers and in this episode we’re going to which companies sponsor which developers who develop bitcoin and how this whole industry really works. Because when you just learn about open source it might sound to that people are just racing without getting paid. Some of them are. Some of them are writing because they want respect. I mean to be honest with you when you look at what drives developers a lot of it is respect just the fact that you are contributing to Bitcoin. But then there are other things as well. That being said yes welcome everyone who is watching this live. Amazing to see all of you on. I don’t think that com slash life if you are watching this on YouTube. This is just a recording so you should go to. I went do that com slash live and subscribe over there right now. As soon as possible. That is the only way to see us live each and every day. And if you are here already. Be sure to check subscribe here. Be sure to check in there Bill web alerts. Be sure to check notifications. And obviously we have dark mode as always as always so be sure to do it straight away. Now I do see Matic I do see your leg crippled Yoda. Watch Dog Moss David Johnson five young guys hurry guys. George group the huddle free steak Edmond Slobodan Zoid some guys I see a lot a lot of use here. It’s so amazing. Let me know right now straight away. Where are you tuning in from this fine and fantastic Monday morning thing got this Monday. The world is coming back to work back to life. At least to the extent we’re capable to right now with the current currency situation and as always let me know what you’re drinking while London and Norway. Tunisian from the moon. That’s nice. That’s nice. OK let’s first of all cover some recent news and that is the fact that during the night we fell below 6k. And really many people were freaking out because we basically went to five point eight 8-K in bitcoin at one point eight U.S. dollars for one Bitcoin. The good thing is that we have completely completely recovered that loss very quickly. So we understand that basically now instead of seeing weakness we do see strength because when you look at the daily candle we have already recovered this loss from yesterday that was quite significant man. We went almost to five point eight but now we have completely recovered that. So it’s looking quite good because the fact that we’re able to hold it and maybe if we wouldn’t even if we can try to run for six point nine that would show strength in this market as we’re able to hold six game. That’s very very important. Now looking on the top 10 crypto currencies today as of this moment we have bitcoin minus zero point zero five percent. And that’s quite good to be honest because just a few hours ago as I told you it didn’t look good at all. It wouldn’t look good at all at least in this short short term Webb is at minus zero point sixteen quite stable overall. Overall looking at the top gainers we have energy start to squint and look at the top losers EDC. Guys I told you Look EDC it’s it’s some kind of Fisher thing going on here. I see it every day I stop the pumper with extremely low volume over seven days it’s still 500 percent. But please please be careful you will not be able to get out of this market with this low volume as C minus 13. Well still they have an issue obviously with hive because Sim has been more or less hijacked by Tron and Justin sun so steam is not really the steam that used to be steam is not really the steam it used to be in terms of community first and foremost because community is now in hive at least those guys who revolted against the takeover from from Tron. Well it turned out minus 12. And all and all quite good quite good markets quite fantastic time to be alive again. That’s the most important thing. And please keep in mind that we do have our collaboration with by bit. You use the link below you can get some ninety dollars to get started you can go long you can go short you can use leverage up to 100 dates and recently we’ve also onboard that fem mix as our collaboration as well. So you can do the same thing here and really they are quite similar by bit unfair mix but it’s very important to diversify. So if you have if you are already trading on one of them get the other and you can find the link below. They have great bonuses both of them. So definitely check them both out and if you have too much money on one of them just go to the other end diversify but please only use this if you are a professional trader because obviously trading with leverage is dangerous and you should not do it if you’re just starting out. Now before we get into the post the dollar world I want to remind you guys that we’ve had a situation with V a hash rate. We’ve had the situation with the fact that miners were basically going out of business and they struggled. So the most important thing to look at right now is that we did see a difficult adjustment happen and we saw difficult to adjust downwards right here on the 5th the 25th of March and the difficult difficulty you see this huge number this is how difficult it is to mine to mine the block and that really difficult to number one tell you a lot if you don’t size how proof of work works. You can go check out the middle time to the dot com a cardinal down to the com to check out our archives more with teach you all about that how difficult to works. But on the high level this is basically how difficult it is to mine and if the block time if the blocked them is higher than 10 minutes then the difficulty gets adjusted downward. Because we always want to have at 10 min at the block time and as you can see we did see this spike in in block interval and that’s where we had to correct. That’s what we had to correct on this one is in the minutes it seems like so as you can see when we spiked right here to nine hundred thirty five minutes we had to adjust the difficult to downwards because you know that we should average 600 or so seconds seconds second seconds not minutes seconds of course seconds because we should average 600 seconds which is 10 minutes. But here we had the 900. So yeah that’s why we did a fall in difficulty. And as you can see when the difficulty fell the revenue shot up instantly right here. So here’s where difficulty fell. And the same day revenue shot up. So this is how the network balances itself. Yeah exactly. Well I get seconds and seconds I see that and the same thing is obviously seen in all kinds of other proof of work chains proof of work chains. So it’s not only Bitcoin whenever you have proof of work chain this is how is going to be. And if you want to get these stats you can just go to Best Script of deals and you can get like a link to get free access to this. It’s completely free access and what’s good is now that they have this dashboard that I like. Last note for example you can get a dashboard with all kinds of on or on chain indicators and all and all the network is now stable. We’ve seen this hash rate drop. And especially seen if you look at the past a year that we’ve seen this speed peak and then in March we’ve been going down. But you understand that all in all when the halving happens usually usually the hash rate is not severely affected even though the reward is cut in half. But we had to adjust the difficulty quite significantly as you can see here and this is what I just discussed with you. But a bit more zoomed out version that this difficulty needs to be adjusted because some miners had to shut down the machines. So that’s the situation with mining. I know I know many people of you asked it and that’s why so important to clarify exactly what’s going on now in terms of the world situation. We have more and more action now being taken by the U.S. and this is very key to understand if you witnessing what’s going on in the world and you’re tracking it. So number one we have Trump changing his position a bit because he was a bit more relaxed up until right now and now he sees the real seriousness in the situation with Corona and then what we’re witnessing now is basically him saying that you need to be doing social distancing for longer for longer to the citizens. He is saying that yesterday we discussed that we may see a quarantine in New York and some other big cities New York New Jersey Connecticut I think as well. And now he is basically saying that look at the end of the day we need to stay alert and that we can not to reverse drastic measures that are in place by Easter like he said previously. Instead now he’s changing his mind a bit and saying that hey maybe it’s going to be until the end of April and therefore the economy is going to obviously take a hit. But that’s important in this period like more and more people are now coming to consensus. It’s important to stop the spread number one and then you can return to the economy. Otherwise nothing’s going to work out nothing nothing in the world is going to work. If the virus keeps growing. So the most important priority and more and more people are coming to consensus now is that we need to contain it by doing even more social distancing. But that is of course putting a lot of pressure on the dollar and that is of course something that we’ve got to discuss because they’re going to stimulate they’re going to stimulate there have already been stimulating by trillions. And it’s only the beginning. Slobodan says anyone seen Roger versed with the Koran. I’ve seen it. Yeah. He’s basically saying that it’s it’s all good. No need to worry a lot. Or a driver said on Twitter approximately something like that. But look at the end of the day. More and more people are coming to consensus that it is serious is extremely serious. And look my mom works in India in one of the biggest hospitals hearings in Sweden my mother and the E. It’s not a joke. Yes. It’s absolutely not a joke. This thing and especially now that we’re witnessing even young people pass away so we did see a 16 year old in France at the hospital where my mother works where the 13 year old also passing passing away. So it is. Yeah. It’s not only old people. Absolutely not. And now we’re seeing this seriousness even reached Trump and other and other people in high places so to speak who have been downplaying it is like Boris Johnson who also downplayed it in the beginning but then got infected himself. Because he shook hands in all hospitals with all Corona patients like you like you said previously I don’t know if you’ve seen it but it’s it’s something that we can really really not ignore right now what’s going on in the world. But the notion that this puts a pressure on the dollar and the circumstances really really really threaten the door’s position just like the first world war put the pressure on the pound as you will see this circumstances that we have in the world this black swan events are truly changing big things in ways nobody can predict. So one of the reasons why everyone right now is paying to bail out American companies the whole world is speaking not only the U.S. that’s important is because everyone has the U.S. dollar as their reserve currency. So a lot of people across the world a lot of banks hold the U.S. dollar in reserve. That’s just how it works. So as John Connolly junior Richard Nixon’s Treasury Secretary put in 1971. So this is actually from Nixon’s Treasury Secretary. The dollar is America’s currency but the world’s problem but the world’s problem. Why is it so. Well because when the Fed goes bananas when the Fed goes wild and they’re printing they’re having their printer go but you understand that it’s not only the U.S. that pays. Everyone pays because the U.S. dollar is the reserve currency. So hundreds of billions of dollars were injected into U.S. businesses to counter the effects of Corona. If the money came from taxation then the Americans are paying from their pocket but it’s not from taxation. But if it comes from the Federal Reserve then all nations are paying. So this is very important and obviously this undermines trust in the system because if you’re sitting there in whatever country and you have struggles of your own obviously everyone has struggles but then you have this unfair skew in the economical system that when we print money for example your central bank if you’re not living in the U.S. If you print money then it’s basically only your nation that is getting poorer it’s the citizens in your nation that they’re getting poorer because they hold the currency while when the U.S. prints money then everyone in the world loses wealth because everyone has their workers. And obviously this can continue for a while. If anyone in you maybe for a few decades which it has been now going on for a few decades and many people have been discussing this unfairness and really how the world really works. Cosmo DeLuca says yes we export inflation. That’s that’s true. And then at the end of the day something happens so severe that we reach a breaking point where nobody wants to continue anymore. Why is it so. Because we’ve seen that in the past as well. Look at how the U.S. dollar became the world’s reserve currency. Well it became world’s reserve currency when people basically lost all trust in the British pound and this had to do with the first world war. First and foremost but then with the second world war. So first thing we have to understand is that we had the gold standard and the many countries had the gold standard that they had to abandon in 1914 when the World War One really really started to show up on the horizon and they had to pay for military expenses. That is why central banking allows for a lot of conflicts because the governments can just fund their expenses their war expenses through inflation that would never be possible if everyone just use bitcoin or gold or something else. Now gold is not very practical but with bitcoin this would never be possible. So really when we’re talking about the new monetary paradigm we’re talking about a new paradigm where if you are a government you really need to be thinking carefully about going to what really really really carefully because you cannot just print new currency. That is how it will be in the future. Right now it’s obviously not like that still. Governments can print and go to war and do whatever they want really. But so three years into the war Britain which was the world’s reserve currency they still had the gold standard. They still maintain that because they wanted to still have a bit of trust. They wanted to keep their position as world reserve currency. Now this did not work. They had to borrow for the first time. And they understand that either you print for currency or you borrow or you take money from taxes you do something. So they tried to borrow to pay for their expenses. Never really worked out. So in not in 1919 they had finally abandoned the gold standard. They were forced which decimated the bank accounts of international merchants who traded in pounds. So look if you are in 1919 you have a lot of pounds and then Britain just abandons the gold standard because they have to pay for war then you are losing out because by having pounds you’re trusting Britain the same right now if you’re having dollars you’re trusting and all the world has dollars. So United States became the lender of choice for many countries that were willing to buy dollar denominated U.S. bonds. So this is where it really starts to shift. And right now we’re seeing a similar thing in the US as well. It isn’t a very difficult position just like Britain was in very difficult position during the First World War. And you know that any World War we’ve seen in the past decade we’ve had to. It was so devastating and it wasn’t really clear who’s going to win. Up until the end it wasn’t an easy task for anyone especially the First World War we had years of this trench wars and nobody really could move their positions. It was very long very difficult situation. And basically it cost Britain the world’s reserve currency. It cost Britain a lot. Absolutely a lot. So right now with everything that is going on the fact that the Fed just has to go better like crazy money printing gold say bananas. This is happening even more right now because the US is now understanding how severe it is and U.S. is growing exponentially more than anyone right now when it comes to infection. So we’re witnessing something that is unavoidable. You have to close down the country basically. But the way they’re supporting the markets the way they are debasing their currency is like we’ve never seen before. And just like in 1919 people are now questioning whether this will continue. And we’re seeing another potential paradigm shift. And so Britain has finally been forced to leave the gold standard. And by then the dollar had replaced the pound as world leading reserve. So it wasn’t really officially the world’s reserve currency but just by market mechanics it was the fact that more and more people had that had the dollar. But then during the Second World War the real thing happen because then the U.S. also got all the gold in the world basically and most of the gold in the world. Why is it so. Well because they didn’t enter at work. Look this is where you are smart. This is where USA as a country can make good decisions. If you don’t go to war and I mean it seems like the US completely shifted their strategy in the past century. Look at how great it worked out when you are on the sidelines and you’re just exporting stuff to people who actually want to fight. And that is what happened. The second World World War and the US could export supplies food medicine different kinds of commerce different kinds of metals commodities to Europe. And they ended up with the biggest gold reserve in the world. Thanks to that thanks to that. So look this is so significant when you are more peaceful and you trade in your thinking with more long term and you are constrained by sound money. This society develops way better. This is something we’ve seen. And look look at just how this has changed in the past time. So collecting much of the payments in gold by the end of the war the United States owned the vast majority of the world’s gold. This is unprecedented. This precluded a return to gold standard. And basically because the US had already older gold a dollar became the standard. And since then we’ve been living on this world reserve currency. Now the situation really changed when Nixon removed any connection to gold and that’s basically where we are right now. And as you can see we’ve now had 50 years of this world reserve dollar of fiat basically this is not the money it used to be because dollar was gold in the past it was backed. Now not anymore. And now it’s mainly based on trust. And as you can see it never lasts forever. I’ve shown you this picture in the past. Portugal was the world’s reserve currency Spain Netherlands France Britain and now we have the US. And question is how long will it continue for. Because the more people understand sound money because the more people understand how to use crypto because more people understand that this is not sustainable. And why in the world should they be forced to speculate with my money. Why can I just have my money. This is the most annoying thing that when you get paid your forest you’re absolutely forced to give it to Wall Street. What will you do otherwise. Most people do not have the funds to buy real estate to have like you know income producing rental properties. They cannot buy. They don’t want to hold their money either because then they are being robbed each and every year by inflation. So the only way they can protect themselves from that is going to shit. Now here you have to be like it because if you bought just a few months ago you have lost 30 percent. So look just by going there you have to be like you and obviously Wall Street will rip you off and all of the financial advisors. I mean their whole idea is to of course extract as much value as possible from their clients. Now in addition to that most people in the world do not have access to brokerages like you and I have. So most people in the world don’t even have the option to protect themselves from inflation. So this this whole situation really really has to change and that we’ve been discussing yesterday how knowledge how science really removed the church from government because people became smarter and more educated they start to understand that the universe is not the way the church has been telling us. It is actually based on other concepts and we can now calculate the stars we can see all of this and you understand that people started to believe other things it was easier to say it you see how the narrative pushed by the church to be empowered doesn’t hold in the same right now as happening to the central banking system to this Keynesian Keynesian paradigm. The more people educate the more their stock starts to see Wait wait wait what. Just because something is called a quantitative easing doesn’t mean that more normal people cannot understand that you’re just printing money. Why is it called quantitative easing and not money printing. So that sounds smart because when you hear a money printing you think about Zimbabwe. When you hear quantitative easing you think about some kind of smart people in suits making smart decisions about the economy. But now people are starting to realize that is not how it works. And this whole system is by design by design complicated so that people don’t ask questions. So it can continue to exist just like you see a lot of discussion right now happening with quantitative easing. It wasn’t happening 10 years ago in 2006 and 2007 quantitative easing didn’t have this very bad bad cling to it. But now most people most people who are at least a bit into economy understand that quantitative easing is printing money. So there we’ve done a tremendous education tremendous education and it’s still happening. And that is the best thing with bitcoin believe it or not the best thing with Bitcoin is not bitcoin it is the education that Bitcoin gives to people that people become interested they try to understand how it works that is the biggest thing guys. Man that was a big rant but it was an important rant. And obviously you understand that it’s only the beginning because nothing is out of the question for the Fed nothing at all. And they will continue going while to support the markets the less and the next thing on their agenda is to start buying stocks directly because nothing is out of the question now. This will require congressional approval and already they’re able to buy a corporate debt. And this is kind of kind of what to say. They have to be imaginative. They had to be imaginative how to be able to buy corporate debt because it’s not really clear that it is allowed in the Federal Reserve Act. But if you are creative that’s the word creative enough. You can make it so that it is. It is according to the law but is the question of are you reading what the law says or what the law intense. So this is the big thing. But buying corporate debt was OK for them. If you read what the law says but not what the law intense about buying stocks directly it’s not gonna be possible without congressional approval. And this is going to be a big test. What the U.S. is willing to risk because if they will start doing this even more trust is going to disappear in this system. And look you are risking your risking and you and you shift what is going to be bitcoin but there is going to be China. There is going to be something else. We don’t know. We don’t know. Probably is going to be bitcoin. Maybe it’s going to be some kind of gold thing. Gold the currency. Really. I hope it will be bitcoin but we’ll see. We’ll see. Yes. Let me know what you think in the chat or in the in the comments. They change the laws as circumstances warrant says Bernard Exactly exactly. But I think this will truly show the desperation of the situation because obviously nobody wants to lose their status as the world’s reserve currency because it puts you in a position where you can where you have more freedom to print without facing inflation because there’s so much inherent demand for your currency. And that is why right now we’re seeing deflation guys. And remember always deflation before hyperinflation Mike Malone you go watch hidden secrets of money. And so what’s happening right now is that a lot of demand right now is for the dollar because so much debt is dominated in the dollar. And many people are losing a lot of money in the markets there. That needs to be repaid. So they’re just dumping all assets they’re trying to get hold of the dollars to pay it back to pay their debts back. But at the end of the day people will be sitting there with their dollars that do not produce any income. There are no real assets there no asset that can actually give you a check every month. And most importantly it is not backed by anything. And most importantly it doesn’t even have the trust because they’re printing it by the trillions. Now Bitcoin also doesn’t give you a check like Warren Buffett said it doesn’t write you a check at the end of the month. And many people made fun of him. But look I understand what he means. He means that usually he likes to put capital in companies in real estate something that produces you something but in bitcoin you have digital scarcity that is the thing that is the thing is not about getting a check every month. Although it’s good to have also assets that give you a check every month whether it’s dividend stock or whether it’s a real estate. The issue with both stock market and Lucent is that it’s so manipulated and inflated and we don’t really know what anything is worth really. So the thing with bitcoin is that yes you don’t really have any backing except for limited supply except for a worldwide network of payments except for enormous liquidity and in itself that is extreme value. Just the basic properties of censorship resistance worldwide. Anyone can use it. It is very liquid. It’s 24/7 across countries across nations. And that in itself is the big thing. Look that is the real value and that’s why you have to get some bitcoin yes if you don’t have bitcoin yet you have to get it. You absolutely have to get it. OK. Yes. Moving on. Moving on what is happening in the jail guys. I recently saw gold silver silver at twelve weeks back or order and the 1000 minimum. Yeah. They’re running out they’re running out Zippy says defy dividend. Exactly. You can get dividends if you are using deep buy. Absolutely. And that is why you should check out our defy course if you haven’t yet in our academy. So to use union swap to synthetics to really use all of these applications and protocols we do have all explanations for you and it’s very easy to start and you do get faster results. That is a thing you can literally within a few hours already be quite efficient and proficient in the using unit swap device the X looping rather with Khyber cable and people are loving this course with just released it a few a few days ago. This guy is amazing Amadeo brands. He is working with maker Dow actually get educated by the people who have created all of this most of this because maker Dow is at the foundation of everything. And you get even the essentials insurance the essential synthetics the sensor as money markets and so on so for us to go check guys. I don’t think that’s come. If you haven’t yet if you haven’t yet. Now guys moving on today we’re talking about who funds Bitcoin development alum Ivan will I be able to enroll in D5 course using a basic plan. Unfortunately not not on basic but on premium a basic is only to get started and get to know decades I mean basically it’s kind of like a trial because at them they did the big things are happening in them in premium and basic plan in itself is big because you get so much content and knowledge but then imagine what the premium plan is because I’m telling you the basic is just kind of introduction but the basic is also just it is a huge just that just that is huge. But imagine the premium. It’s 100 times bigger. Look you gotta understand who funds bitcoin and how this system works because bitcoin is obviously open source. Anyone can contribute you and I can contribute. Anyone with a brain and programming skills and and the passion and understanding can contribute. So you have amazing research by bit makes being created who funds because most of the developers are basically independent. They’re not getting paid by anyone. They are incentivized because they want to be Bitcoin developers. Man if you go to any job interview and you say that you’re a bitcoin developer it’s respect and it actually gives you a lot of power. It gives you a lot of power in the industry that you can show on GitHub that you get got some committee into bitcoin. And look it’s not difficult to be honest with you. We saw for example Jimmy song that he just started with doing testing and if you know some basic testing can definitely get a few comments into bitcoin and then look they have compiled a list of different entities that fund the development. So you have block stream you have lighting labs square crypto and square. But I didn’t know that they were so big in comparison to Bloxham look square crypto is kind of like blocking them in size of funding a bit less but kind of you have M.I.T. DCI. So you do have University Association as well chain called Big when it comes to bitcoin. You have purse and purse. Is this what it’s called you get like free stuff for discounts did you lab async Bitcoin ex Bitcoin expire bigger as well and the bit makes OK so yeah I mean there are some companies that are funding this now. If you actually look at what’s going on in terms of bitcoin particular most of the developers are independent as you can see here it’s not that block stream funds everyone like a lot of misinformation is always spread that blocks from owns all Bitcoin developers guys. They don’t they don’t. Most of them are independent. The second place is actually chain code and then blocks Jim and then M.I.T. and then DG labs and then square crypto. So this is how it works. And then you understand that all in all they looked at the top 33 contributors by all time number of comets. And here is where. You see the different contributors. So eleven are independent. You see seven chain called blocks Bloxham only has three and believe it or not. Only three out of 33. So it’s like 10 percent or even less. So I guess that is how it works. And it is decentralized now. Why would somebody like for example chain called or block stream even put money into this. What is the idea kind of like why Microsoft is putting a lot of money into open source as well just like big corporations are putting a lot of money in open source because you understand that all software that is big right now is open source whether you’re talking about Linux all servers right now are basically Linux you do have a few still running Microsoft. I mean most of it is Linux is the biggest operating system in the world when it comes to when it comes to server infrastructure. Now most most phones are running Android also open source sense and that it’s so big. And Android is Linux under the hood now. And other thing is of course the fact that all tools for development are open source. Most of them most of the things used to program is open source at the world is open source. It’s. Thank God we are because it wasn’t a clear thing just 10 years ago. And I think Microsoft when they open source dot net platform that is when they truly capitulated and said All right now open source is is the way open source is the key. So more and more companies during the past 10 15 20 years have been adopting technology that is open source because their customers understand it because it’s easy to patch. You have the latest security updated you really get the smartest people working on your software so it doesn’t make sense for you if you’re a company to build your own stack. Why would you why would you. Now to this point the biggest producers of proprietary software if you look at the consumer electronics it’s gotta be Apple. I mean they are still not really open source and they have a long way to go to use open source technologies although in many ways they have also been using a lot of Unix based systems for quite some time if I use a Mac you know how easy it is to use for programming when use frigging windows. Way difficult although when Microsoft started to open source. Now you have a command line a Linux command line in them in windows as well on all windows nowadays. You do get Windows command line. So what am I what am I saying. Well look at the corporate world. Everyone is now doing open source that is the standard. And obviously you want to contribute because you want to show that you are the leader in the space you want to attract talent because talented developers they want to work on open source. They want to be part of open source and all of this projects. In many cases because they’re respected there’s big respect for open source in development community in other cases because they want to show that they have contributed they can not show if it is proprietary they contribute and it’s gone forever it’s not theirs. And obviously right now companies are fighting between each other to be the leaders of open source to kind of be the companies that work with all of these technologies that are open source because if you’re a customer you’re going to go to whoever is most credible because if you’re a customer and they want infrastructure I will go to guys who know how to run and maybe even developed it. So that’s why corporations are running in open source it’s clear now with bitcoin and with development here is the same thing. Obviously Bloxham is a port a for profit company. They want to attract their clients because they are part of the development as well. They have three developers on board chain go code probably the same. So it’s all about building this trust in the community and building this momentum and authority and the forest. And when people say hey Block’s stream is going to take over bit and get married they have three developers. Out of thirty three to hijack the development. It’s you know it’s not going to puzzle most of developers are independent. And that’s important. I think it’s still important that most developers are independent and that is the case right now. Right now yes. Finally before we go into the chat which is time check out. I think that comes large deals you can get all kinds of deals. You remember already by bid and femme ex you can find them also below cribs with com you get 50 dollars if you sign up and you get debit card you get like an app exchange they have a lot of things as all domains and glass not so glass note is basically you get access to this indicators for free when it comes to on chain and they have hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of them. It’s really like this the job they’ve done to develop this and create all of these indicators is amazing and it’s free if used the link in I was the com slash deals. So that being said guys let’s take a look in the chat. How are you guys doing. Glass node offer work. If I already have an account Yamaha it will work. Yes. If you have it or is an account you have access to it mostly. Yeah. Business is not trust us until the other question is answered. BTC has nothing to do with weather. How do you mean. In what way is it not trust us. If the other is involved the thing that is worrying is obviously whether the price is correct or not. Do you buy gold. Ivan how I mean to be honest I don’t have a physical and I should I should have physical. But for me as I discussed with Mike Maloney and also in the chat previously for me is the authenticity you like. How do I know that the gold is real. Especially you can buy a few coins now. Like if your clients and stuff that’s okay. But if you’re serious like if you’re gonna buy a big chunk How do you ensure. I don’t know how to insure it. I need to trust someone who can insure it. I need all I need to learn I need to learn how to insure it so that is why I mean yes I can buy like a few thousand dollars of gold just as a safety backup but it’s just. Yeah the thing is it’s trust it is trust me. I saw you guys writing that you can drill a hole in it and you can try to see what’s in the area. That’s why I think bitcoin will be number one because look I think that I’m representing the younger generation to a big extent. Although there is another generation that is even younger and they have all kinds of digital assets. But for me I don’t have the kind of the same appeal to gold. I don’t know like I want bitcoin to be the gold that that is worth because I can verify it and I can verify it anytime and I don’t know maybe it’s just me. Maybe other people in my age they they like gold more than bitcoin but just managed to have the right to have this golden rock I got. I get that it’s important but man Yeah I should get it. Bitcoin should be tethered to gold not you as that. Well you mean that the price we should compare price to gold. I can agree with you on that. Yes I can agree on you on that that we should measure the price in gold instead of dollars because your measurement scale is changing each and every day because it does get hyper inflated the dollar so is better to use while you guys were pumping. We are pumping both on families and the let’s see. I’m here using 30 minute. Yeah I mean looking at 30 minutes we are pumping we’re pumping so definitely keep that in mind. Yeah here it is. Good guys good good. Yes. And then you have to have the gold at all. I know crypto Yoda I know. And then you have to have this. This. Yeah. Gold coins are okay. Coinstar okay but also you’re paying a huge premium for coins. That’s that’s also thing. But I know my colleague the here phenol Philippi he has goo here he likes it he likes he likes it and he has been thinking about also he has the knowledge at least how to do it yeah. Buying gold does not recommend for guys who are active in the crypto revolution. I think it does look is good to have is good to have a bit of gold yeah is good. It’s good to have like I’m just saying that I’m not really there yet but I will be probably. Will. But you don’t get gold fever for a bitcoin look. Another thing is that I don’t think it’s a good idea to store your gold at home. Like why would you why. Why. It’s it’s Yeah. You gotta solve some kind of custody. You can store small amounts but larger. It won’t work. Yeah. Let’s see. But you don’t get gold. Oh yeah. Exactly. Lots of eyes are watching open source codes. If there is any exploit. Yeah. That’s a big thing. Absolutely. That’s why open source is so compelling compelling. Let’s see how you sure you don’t end up. With tungsten. It’s called tungsten. You know that. It’s like heavy stone in Swedish. Some some information for you because when I was studying chemistry by the way I was fine so I went to this English school called IAB or look actually in. Let me see let me see. So in Swedish it’s actually evolved from nowadays. Previously it was called this tombstone. Now it’s interesting so from is. Is is this thanks to steam. Yeah. OK. Very interesting. But this is anyway. This battle was invented baseball did not invent it was discovered by SP. Anyway the name is Swedish. I don’t really know how it got there but probably something has to do. Too late to get gold. The premiums are crazy high. Yes physical gold absolute physical gold. Absolutely. Whenever a ship was talking bad about bitcoin with pump did he come out recently actually he pumped bitcoin. He said there’s going to appreciate in the recession a D. I’m planning to move to Stockholm for work this summer. Hope I can visit that chasm woman. Yeah you should go. Yes you should go to Stockholm in the summer. Stockholm is insanely beautiful in the summer. Yes it’s insane. It’s insane because there’s like a lot of water a lot of islands and it’s green. Yeah I love Stockholm in the summer. Not all cities are prettier in the summer but in Stockholm you have this ratio between winter and summer. That is just insane. Like it’s a thousand times more beautiful in summer than in the winter in normal cities or like maybe like five times more beautiful in summer but definitely a go here in summer. Is there a way to physically preserve bitcoin transaction history in the event of ENP event. Well there are many Romanian notes there is a satellite. There will not be an MP event. Nuking everything so you will obviously have your history and this is verifiable is verifiable because you have all proof of work there. So absolutely. Four billion and other that goes down. Imagine if that goes down. I know. Yes. Is big is BIG Ivan. Imagine your ass astronaut. And then one week you are sent to outer space mission for 20 years. You travel nearly at the speed of light so you will be one day older when you get back. Not really sure how you mean. You will only be one day older you mean that the time is going differently when you are travelling at speed of light. Yes I have heard that that the when you are newly at the speed of light the time kind of stops for you. But I need to refresh exactly how that works for this task. You get million dollars today. What would you have. What would you do with a million dollars. I would buy real assets. Look I would buy Bitcoin. Absolutely but also I would buy real estate especially with crashes in the nearest time because I have this feeling that the real estate is next. Guys we’ve seen stock market minus 30 percent. I feel that real estate across the world is next. Why why why is it so. Well people are losing their jobs as so many companies are firing right now in Sweden they’re not really firing because the government steps in and pay salaries up to 92 percent. Ninety two point five and the people only have to work 40 percent of the time. So the employer is paying approximately 50 percent of the salary and he gets 40 percent of labor time. So it’s worse for an employee than before but then the state pays the rest 42 percent. So the worker only works 40 percent but gets paid 92 percent of his salary. That will not continue forever. Look that will end in. I don’t know how many months in Sweden. Not not not many months because obviously the government they will go broke in a second if this continues for longer. So obviously will see a tragic situation if this Corona thing doesn’t disappear quickly because people will obviously lose their job. Absolutely. And they will lose their income which is extremely tragic. I mean that is what I hope we can avoid. We need to avoid that as much as possible. But obviously is going to be difficult to pay mortgage and you will have to sell if you cannot pay it. So that is why I think there might be good opportunities. And look at when you sell out when stock market goes to all time high all the time because of hyperinflation. You want to be there. You want to be there. So I wouldn’t discount stocks altogether because they are real asset in the sense that they give you cash flow all the time. I mean they are producing income they’re producing youth a constant monthly income dividends. The issue with them is obviously that they’ve been hyper inflated so much you don’t win an end P E ratios are insane. There’s a lot of insanity there. The same with real estate by the same with real estate now that they’re kind of coming back to where they should be. I think the last thing you will want to have is dollar at the end of the day because that will be hyper inflate. So whether it’s real estate Bitcoin gold stock like something that is that is more real. Yeah but because I think is the best solution in terms of risk reward risk reward is best in bitcoin no question about that. Think of everyone credit ratings that are going to be destroyed. Exactly. Yes but the free market will also just because your credit rating is only relative to other crazy ratings. So if everyone’s credit rating is destroyed banks will still want to lend out money so they will give it to guys with the best one but not maybe the best one. Like it was hit a year ago or two years ago. So it’s a free market. There are the credit market. The value of the dividends are taken from the stock value not worth to buy stocks for dividends crippling. Not really sure if like the value of the. You mean that they are already in the price of the stock. Maybe that’s what you mean. And it is true. Like you got to look at the PE ratio some stocks they have dividends that are so small compared to the share price that it’s not even worth it. But as soon as you can as long as you can get 5 10 percent it is good like it’s good. But yes the situation is good news to come down now. Why. Look this is interesting to be honest with you I haven’t even gone to high of a lot let me actually check how my page looks because it is the fourth Summit. I didn’t even look at it but now I see you guys writing to me the link. Let me see it because I have I have seen it. Do I have this thing as well and how does it look like or is that it does. Oh yeah interesting. Very interesting. Yeah. I just don’t know where the hell the keys to decide. To be honest with you like I did the noob mistake of maybe losing my Smith gear and that’s the thing because you can see I haven’t been active in two years. But yes. OK. So this is the new steam it is called Hi blog. Very interesting. Very interesting. So are these like amounts in hive now or what is it worth so much because they just worked. That’s actually good. If it’s worth so much let’s see how it compares to stimulus in terms of the funds. Man I should like free money. What woman. Why am I not doing this more. I should get used to posting there as well because look why would I say so. OK. So let’s see this reversing it has 170 eight here on Steam it and then hive which is the fork. 70. Man. It cannot be like that. There are some issue here because why is it exactly the same. Because the currencies now are different. I will have to do a bit more digging into it because the numbers are exactly the same. But maybe the numbers are not absolute. All. Yes. And why is it’s not even the latest. Because here I have yours and there I don’t. I aim out or. Oh wait wait wait. Yeah. This is the old thumbnail. And then we remove the thumbnails because. Yeah we had issues with YouTube. So this is kind of the new update that I get. Anyway I’m gonna do some research is a dollar. Yeah but it was the hive address. Why one to only the new post get new. Okay got it. I hope you haven’t been on steam for like two years and you together back but are people still using it. That’s like the big big thing. Are people still using it. Well ideally I will create the is there isn’t there like a bot that can just put it automatically because I don’t want to click every day on upload. I just want to write the bot. Maybe we’ll do that. Everyone uses high of its 4th like BCI. Oh yeah. Now tell me IMF as they are. What do you want to know about that. Andrew. Do you have 200 a tooth. Yeah I should. I should pick it pick it out. But I don’t know if is that even if it’s worth that much because I understand that all of these amounts are from the bull markets. And I didn’t really attach them so I don’t know whether like people are saying it is the amount there is created at the time of posting or something. Yes. Can you talk a bit about saga with Saga saga saga is the one is the is the stable coin is a stable coin with different currencies. I think we covered that because remember we cover that to be honest. I looked it up because people were asking about stable coins but to my understanding it is the currency with different the backing side of stable coin. She should be that one. Worldwide the money. Exactly exactly exactly. So this one is back like by different stuff. It’s not only bagged by one. This is a basket of currencies. So let’s see. Let’s see how big they become. The good thing is that we have a lot of different stable coins that’s important because when you are trading you don’t want to be switching into real Fiat you want to have stable coins so that when you think that the price has gone down and you’re crazy and you don’t want to short you just want to get out of the market go into stable coins currency that’s how people do it. But now you basically have tether you have you as the CEO of a few others. So it’s good that you can be in it even more so you can diversify and diversification is important. Why is it. Because many people did just use one exchange like buy it and buy it. Is amazing. But there’s also fed mix that is very similar and they have a slightly bigger bonus. So buy it is still our number one choice but check out the mix as well. And if you’re using one of them get the other because you want to diversify and they are very very good both of them. So you can find the links below and you get bonuses for both. If you use the linked links below we’re entering the Great Depression on steroids could be good because it could be. Absolutely. Ivan what do you think about bitcoin in your wallet. How do you know that big and in your wallet are not. Oh that’s a good question. That’s a good question. Well you know it. Because you yourself can verify it. You yourself can verify it. You can run your a.. You can connect to the network yourself. You can get the block chain. Mathematically you can verify that that block chain has been mined with a lot of electricity. So that is actually baked into the blocks and that’s the most fascinating thing by just analyzing the blocks in you see how much electricity was put to mind the different blocks. So you see basically the difficulty for each block. So when you get the block chain you can say OK the last block was 10 minutes ago I can verify mathematically that a lot of energy was put into each block then to be sure you also double check with all other nodes so you get the same block shame. So I have everyone gives you the same answer. What the real block chain is and you basically keep asking until you are certain that that is the real block shame that you got from all of the nodes and you can verify yourself and then you see at the end of the block chain what is the amount in my address in my in in my UTF source. Because really you have a bunch of your texts and your wallet shows your balance which is just a sum of all your utensils and that is how we can verify. But the most important thing is that you can verify how much electricity has been put into the block chain. You can verify for ourselves that hey the only way to produce this data that they have in front of me which is this block shown is to spend a lot of electricity. I know it sounds crazy but that is how it works. That is how proof of work and hashing functions work and you see the difficulty in each of the. Of the blocks so you can for yourself know for sure 100 percent certainty that for this blocks to be produced somebody spent the tens of thousands of dollars. And that is what gives you the verification that the that the blocking is real and that is the main bitcoin blocks. Yes. That is how that is. If the world moves to another fiat currency other than us. What do you think it will be. You. Yeah I mean maybe you can but it would really be a shame if it was you. I don’t really I don’t think it’s going to be one. Why. Because not many people are trusting them will raise it like it’s not a lot. Just look at the current crisis with with the illness. People are speculating all the time that the numbers coming out from China are fake this and that. And who would really trust just that currency at the end of the day. I think it’s highly highly quite questionable. Another thing that is important is that it’s not really how they do business. You know that you and you cannot really transfer it out of the country. Now there is offshore. There is an offshore version. But if they become the world’s reserve currency. Now you know it will not really work together with the way they’re trying to close down their situation there. So I don’t think it’s going to be China. To be honest I don’t think so. I think it’s going to be either some kind of gold the currency again because you will have to reset maybe is going to be gold I hope. And I think there is a chance and non zero chance that it will be OK Bitcoin in some way in some way may be Bitcoin backed in some way. Now statistically statistically I think a gold version is more probable because they justify that. Gold is gold. I mean everyone knows that. And because at the same time people in power can still stay in power. So obviously they will prefer to have some kind of gold standard again because then they can redo the scam yet again. So statistically it might be gold but there is a non-zero chance that it will be Bitcoin. And the risk reward of that is is huge. It’s huge. And even if it’s not the reserve currency is it still going to be big because that is the only digital value you have that is that you’re certain of. So yeah. Is it’s gold it is gold bitcoin will die says safeguards in the moose. Really really really safe. I didn’t hear that situation safe so I so spontaneously I don’t really agree but I should interview safe and arms because that theory is interesting. People who want because look if a gold standard is basically the reason why I don’t agree with that statement that there was gonna be gold then bitcoin will die is because a gold standard changes nothing. It’s basically the same scam or all over again because they’re gonna remove the backing. Again just the question of time. So with a gold standard nothing really has changed. It’s just that it sounds it sounds better and it will be gold for a few years then they’re they to remove the banking yet again. It’s simple the gold is the defeat currently that system is the biggest the biggest reason why we have fiat right now. I mean sorry the fiat system is the biggest example of why gold has failed so gold is the biggest reason why Fiat. Yep. Switzerland is the best choice. Maybe Switzerland the franc let’s see how they perform against dollar because they are performing quite good good compared to other currencies. So that’s true. That’s true. Let’s see. So yeah I mean they’re not. It’s nothing drastic that we’re seeing that not nothing and nothing drastic that we’re seeing are actually left me doing a stunt it to C H F yeah I mean it’s even gone down since since March. But if you look at five year I mean yeah it’s quite stable quite stable and over time over time. It’s actually strengthening. So there you go guys. There we go guys. Now look at this disaster is it still a disaster actually. They have recovered so Norway man. Absolute disaster. What is this. It’s insane Norwegian people have lost they went from I mean at the beginning of 2019 it was eight point seven at the peak which we saw just. Here it was twelve almost man it’s from eight point seven to twelve almost. Can you imagine now. We’re not. We’re not too much better look but a bit more stable but still not very good. Swedish Crown the krona and not from good. What I’m surprised though this is these guys Denmark. What the hell. Performing quite well against the dollar. So yeah Norway. Not really good. I mean Norway is the worst. To be honest with you there at absolute worst. What is this. Sweden also bad a bit better a bit better and Denmark wins this race of not devaluing check it. Okay let me check. I will check. I know you have many more vision guys. You have oil you have oil so don’t don’t get mad. You have oil. So Yemen. Oh yeah. Would strengthen you. Look at this. Look at this. The the this. We should. So yeah. We should go to Norway. It’s a bit cheaper there now. Yeah. Anyway. Anyway I guess that’s actually I don’t know why why Norway is losing so much to be honest. Why are everyone dumping not Norway. I don’t know. But yeah the oil price of course. The oil price. Yeah exactly. Exactly. Yes guys. You’re completely correct. You’re completely. That is why the chatter so amazing. You guys are solving. Yeah of course. Oil. Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes of course yes. OK. Thank you so much. Yet again see you are contributing all to the streams. So that’s amazing. That’s amazing. Thank you so much for being here yet. So maybe does the collapse of Norway Sweden has been dreaming about for such a long time. I’m joking but it is true. Look it is true because in Sweden we have industry like it’s not even Swedish fully owned but you get the point like Volvo scan the electoral looks like there are so many things Spotify like there are a lot of industrial things coming out of Europe. Norway it’s mainly oil mainly oil Yeah. So we’ll see we’ll see. I’m obviously just joking. A seal tomorrow at 8 a.m. Central European Time summertime centripetal summertime big sovereign fund. I mean the good thing with Norway that is amazing is that actually people get the wealth of the country that is not the case in Russia for example. Like people don’t get the wealth of that there is no sovereign fund there. There is no. So that is what. And you know my relatives are from there. And yes that is kind of the thing you always the unfortunate people go go around saying that Russia is so rich in terms of resources but people are always so poor and yes it’s the structure the whole structure is bad. So that’s the biggest thing that Norway has done by the way. That is that fund and that it’s not going to disappear into the you know into the government officials pocket like unfortunately it doesn’t many other countries so say do so much very much for being here. I’ll see you all tomorrow 8:00 a.m. Central happy on summertime and have a good day. Enjoy your day. Check out baby check out fan mix. Great them great things in the description. Only if you’re experience and see old tomorrow. Have a good day and goodbye Yes. Goodbye goodbye goodbye.

DOLLAR COLLAPSING 2020!?! BUY BITCOIN Who funds development Programmer explains

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

And we’re alive. Yes. Welcome to another episode of Good Morning Krypton here on an island on take we are of course broadcasting live straight out of Stockholm Sweden. And we do this show each and every day at 8:00 a.m. Central happy and summertime. Guys I’m coming to you like an atomic clock. Each and every day please be aware we switch to summertime see if your countries did not wish to summertime all streams are one hour earlier. Look we’re going to discuss the dollar because it’s not doing good guys at the end of the day it’s not doing good. And we’re going to go through some other world reserve currencies we’ve seen in the past and you will soon see that the time was limited for each world reserve currency and circumstances change very very very quickly. First and foremost if you look at the past century at the beginning of the past century you had the British pound completely dominating completely dominating the world. And you see how quickly British pound lost lost his position as number one and how dollar emerged very quickly because of certain circumstances in the world. And the same is happening right now. I do think that we’re witnessing a bolstered dollar world in the nearest future may be within maybe within menu of you who are watching lifetimes and maybe within even sooner than we think even within a timeframe that is even sooner sooner than many people think because this is what happened to the British pound nobody would have really imagined that it would disappear so quickly as no one. So that’s very important. Yes. And you understand that bitcoin is so key when we’re talking about this. This is the most important contest in terms of having a world where currency and where the state are two different things. Just like we discussed yesterday how religion sooner or later decoupled from the state in most countries religion and the state are two different things. Nowadays in most countries. The same is going to happen with currency with money. And we understand that money and currency are two different things here this currency. Bitcoin is money gold is money. So that’s going to be a big topic. Now we’re also going to discuss who funds Bitcoin. This is a big debate. This is a big question I always get. Who is funding these developers who are working on Bitcoin because it is open source. Nobody really gets paid from anyone. If you think about how open source works but obviously you do have companies sponsoring developers and in this episode we’re going to which companies sponsor which developers who develop bitcoin and how this whole industry really works. Because when you just learn about open source it might sound to that people are just racing without getting paid. Some of them are. Some of them are writing because they want respect. I mean to be honest with you when you look at what drives developers a lot of it is respect just the fact that you are contributing to Bitcoin. But then there are other things as well. That being said yes welcome everyone who is watching this live. Amazing to see all of you on. I don’t think that com slash life if you are watching this on YouTube. This is just a recording so you should go to. I went do that com slash live and subscribe over there right now. As soon as possible. That is the only way to see us live each and every day. And if you are here already. Be sure to check subscribe here. Be sure to check in there Bill web alerts. Be sure to check notifications. And obviously we have dark mode as always as always so be sure to do it straight away. Now I do see Matic I do see your leg crippled Yoda. Watch Dog Moss David Johnson five young guys hurry guys. George group the huddle free steak Edmond Slobodan Zoid some guys I see a lot a lot of use here. It’s so amazing. Let me know right now straight away. Where are you tuning in from this fine and fantastic Monday morning thing got this Monday. The world is coming back to work back to life. At least to the extent we’re capable to right now with the current currency situation and as always let me know what you’re drinking while London and Norway. Tunisian from the moon. That’s nice. That’s nice. OK let’s first of all cover some recent news and that is the fact that during the night we fell below 6k. And really many people were freaking out because we basically went to five point eight 8-K in bitcoin at one point eight U.S. dollars for one Bitcoin. The good thing is that we have completely completely recovered that loss very quickly. So we understand that basically now instead of seeing weakness we do see strength because when you look at the daily candle we have already recovered this loss from yesterday that was quite significant man. We went almost to five point eight but now we have completely recovered that. So it’s looking quite good because the fact that we’re able to hold it and maybe if we wouldn’t even if we can try to run for six point nine that would show strength in this market as we’re able to hold six game. That’s very very important. Now looking on the top 10 crypto currencies today as of this moment we have bitcoin minus zero point zero five percent. And that’s quite good to be honest because just a few hours ago as I told you it didn’t look good at all. It wouldn’t look good at all at least in this short short term Webb is at minus zero point sixteen quite stable overall. Overall looking at the top gainers we have energy start to squint and look at the top losers EDC. Guys I told you Look EDC it’s it’s some kind of Fisher thing going on here. I see it every day I stop the pumper with extremely low volume over seven days it’s still 500 percent. But please please be careful you will not be able to get out of this market with this low volume as C minus 13. Well still they have an issue obviously with hive because Sim has been more or less hijacked by Tron and Justin sun so steam is not really the steam that used to be steam is not really the steam it used to be in terms of community first and foremost because community is now in hive at least those guys who revolted against the takeover from from Tron. Well it turned out minus 12. And all and all quite good quite good markets quite fantastic time to be alive again. That’s the most important thing. And please keep in mind that we do have our collaboration with by bit. You use the link below you can get some ninety dollars to get started you can go long you can go short you can use leverage up to 100 dates and recently we’ve also onboard that fem mix as our collaboration as well. So you can do the same thing here and really they are quite similar by bit unfair mix but it’s very important to diversify. So if you have if you are already trading on one of them get the other and you can find the link below. They have great bonuses both of them. So definitely check them both out and if you have too much money on one of them just go to the other end diversify but please only use this if you are a professional trader because obviously trading with leverage is dangerous and you should not do it if you’re just starting out. Now before we get into the post the dollar world I want to remind you guys that we’ve had a situation with V a hash rate. We’ve had the situation with the fact that miners were basically going out of business and they struggled. So the most important thing to look at right now is that we did see a difficult adjustment happen and we saw difficult to adjust downwards right here on the 5th the 25th of March and the difficult difficulty you see this huge number this is how difficult it is to mine to mine the block and that really difficult to number one tell you a lot if you don’t size how proof of work works. You can go check out the middle time to the dot com a cardinal down to the com to check out our archives more with teach you all about that how difficult to works. But on the high level this is basically how difficult it is to mine and if the block time if the blocked them is higher than 10 minutes then the difficulty gets adjusted downward. Because we always want to have at 10 min at the block time and as you can see we did see this spike in in block interval and that’s where we had to correct. That’s what we had to correct on this one is in the minutes it seems like so as you can see when we spiked right here to nine hundred thirty five minutes we had to adjust the difficult to downwards because you know that we should average 600 or so seconds seconds second seconds not minutes seconds of course seconds because we should average 600 seconds which is 10 minutes. But here we had the 900. So yeah that’s why we did a fall in difficulty. And as you can see when the difficulty fell the revenue shot up instantly right here. So here’s where difficulty fell. And the same day revenue shot up. So this is how the network balances itself. Yeah exactly. Well I get seconds and seconds I see that and the same thing is obviously seen in all kinds of other proof of work chains proof of work chains. So it’s not only Bitcoin whenever you have proof of work chain this is how is going to be. And if you want to get these stats you can just go to Best Script of deals and you can get like a link to get free access to this. It’s completely free access and what’s good is now that they have this dashboard that I like. Last note for example you can get a dashboard with all kinds of on or on chain indicators and all and all the network is now stable. We’ve seen this hash rate drop. And especially seen if you look at the past a year that we’ve seen this speed peak and then in March we’ve been going down. But you understand that all in all when the halving happens usually usually the hash rate is not severely affected even though the reward is cut in half. But we had to adjust the difficulty quite significantly as you can see here and this is what I just discussed with you. But a bit more zoomed out version that this difficulty needs to be adjusted because some miners had to shut down the machines. So that’s the situation with mining. I know I know many people of you asked it and that’s why so important to clarify exactly what’s going on now in terms of the world situation. We have more and more action now being taken by the U.S. and this is very key to understand if you witnessing what’s going on in the world and you’re tracking it. So number one we have Trump changing his position a bit because he was a bit more relaxed up until right now and now he sees the real seriousness in the situation with Corona and then what we’re witnessing now is basically him saying that you need to be doing social distancing for longer for longer to the citizens. He is saying that yesterday we discussed that we may see a quarantine in New York and some other big cities New York New Jersey Connecticut I think as well. And now he is basically saying that look at the end of the day we need to stay alert and that we can not to reverse drastic measures that are in place by Easter like he said previously. Instead now he’s changing his mind a bit and saying that hey maybe it’s going to be until the end of April and therefore the economy is going to obviously take a hit. But that’s important in this period like more and more people are now coming to consensus. It’s important to stop the spread number one and then you can return to the economy. Otherwise nothing’s going to work out nothing nothing in the world is going to work. If the virus keeps growing. So the most important priority and more and more people are coming to consensus now is that we need to contain it by doing even more social distancing. But that is of course putting a lot of pressure on the dollar and that is of course something that we’ve got to discuss because they’re going to stimulate they’re going to stimulate there have already been stimulating by trillions. And it’s only the beginning. Slobodan says anyone seen Roger versed with the Koran. I’ve seen it. Yeah. He’s basically saying that it’s it’s all good. No need to worry a lot. Or a driver said on Twitter approximately something like that. But look at the end of the day. More and more people are coming to consensus that it is serious is extremely serious. And look my mom works in India in one of the biggest hospitals hearings in Sweden my mother and the E. It’s not a joke. Yes. It’s absolutely not a joke. This thing and especially now that we’re witnessing even young people pass away so we did see a 16 year old in France at the hospital where my mother works where the 13 year old also passing passing away. So it is. Yeah. It’s not only old people. Absolutely not. And now we’re seeing this seriousness even reached Trump and other and other people in high places so to speak who have been downplaying it is like Boris Johnson who also downplayed it in the beginning but then got infected himself. Because he shook hands in all hospitals with all Corona patients like you like you said previously I don’t know if you’ve seen it but it’s it’s something that we can really really not ignore right now what’s going on in the world. But the notion that this puts a pressure on the dollar and the circumstances really really really threaten the door’s position just like the first world war put the pressure on the pound as you will see this circumstances that we have in the world this black swan events are truly changing big things in ways nobody can predict. So one of the reasons why everyone right now is paying to bail out American companies the whole world is speaking not only the U.S. that’s important is because everyone has the U.S. dollar as their reserve currency. So a lot of people across the world a lot of banks hold the U.S. dollar in reserve. That’s just how it works. So as John Connolly junior Richard Nixon’s Treasury Secretary put in 1971. So this is actually from Nixon’s Treasury Secretary. The dollar is America’s currency but the world’s problem but the world’s problem. Why is it so. Well because when the Fed goes bananas when the Fed goes wild and they’re printing they’re having their printer go but you understand that it’s not only the U.S. that pays. Everyone pays because the U.S. dollar is the reserve currency. So hundreds of billions of dollars were injected into U.S. businesses to counter the effects of Corona. If the money came from taxation then the Americans are paying from their pocket but it’s not from taxation. But if it comes from the Federal Reserve then all nations are paying. So this is very important and obviously this undermines trust in the system because if you’re sitting there in whatever country and you have struggles of your own obviously everyone has struggles but then you have this unfair skew in the economical system that when we print money for example your central bank if you’re not living in the U.S. If you print money then it’s basically only your nation that is getting poorer it’s the citizens in your nation that they’re getting poorer because they hold the currency while when the U.S. prints money then everyone in the world loses wealth because everyone has their workers. And obviously this can continue for a while. If anyone in you maybe for a few decades which it has been now going on for a few decades and many people have been discussing this unfairness and really how the world really works. Cosmo DeLuca says yes we export inflation. That’s that’s true. And then at the end of the day something happens so severe that we reach a breaking point where nobody wants to continue anymore. Why is it so. Because we’ve seen that in the past as well. Look at how the U.S. dollar became the world’s reserve currency. Well it became world’s reserve currency when people basically lost all trust in the British pound and this had to do with the first world war. First and foremost but then with the second world war. So first thing we have to understand is that we had the gold standard and the many countries had the gold standard that they had to abandon in 1914 when the World War One really really started to show up on the horizon and they had to pay for military expenses. That is why central banking allows for a lot of conflicts because the governments can just fund their expenses their war expenses through inflation that would never be possible if everyone just use bitcoin or gold or something else. Now gold is not very practical but with bitcoin this would never be possible. So really when we’re talking about the new monetary paradigm we’re talking about a new paradigm where if you are a government you really need to be thinking carefully about going to what really really really carefully because you cannot just print new currency. That is how it will be in the future. Right now it’s obviously not like that still. Governments can print and go to war and do whatever they want really. But so three years into the war Britain which was the world’s reserve currency they still had the gold standard. They still maintain that because they wanted to still have a bit of trust. They wanted to keep their position as world reserve currency. Now this did not work. They had to borrow for the first time. And they understand that either you print for currency or you borrow or you take money from taxes you do something. So they tried to borrow to pay for their expenses. Never really worked out. So in not in 1919 they had finally abandoned the gold standard. They were forced which decimated the bank accounts of international merchants who traded in pounds. So look if you are in 1919 you have a lot of pounds and then Britain just abandons the gold standard because they have to pay for war then you are losing out because by having pounds you’re trusting Britain the same right now if you’re having dollars you’re trusting and all the world has dollars. So United States became the lender of choice for many countries that were willing to buy dollar denominated U.S. bonds. So this is where it really starts to shift. And right now we’re seeing a similar thing in the US as well. It isn’t a very difficult position just like Britain was in very difficult position during the First World War. And you know that any World War we’ve seen in the past decade we’ve had to. It was so devastating and it wasn’t really clear who’s going to win. Up until the end it wasn’t an easy task for anyone especially the First World War we had years of this trench wars and nobody really could move their positions. It was very long very difficult situation. And basically it cost Britain the world’s reserve currency. It cost Britain a lot. Absolutely a lot. So right now with everything that is going on the fact that the Fed just has to go better like crazy money printing gold say bananas. This is happening even more right now because the US is now understanding how severe it is and U.S. is growing exponentially more than anyone right now when it comes to infection. So we’re witnessing something that is unavoidable. You have to close down the country basically. But the way they’re supporting the markets the way they are debasing their currency is like we’ve never seen before. And just like in 1919 people are now questioning whether this will continue. And we’re seeing another potential paradigm shift. And so Britain has finally been forced to leave the gold standard. And by then the dollar had replaced the pound as world leading reserve. So it wasn’t really officially the world’s reserve currency but just by market mechanics it was the fact that more and more people had that had the dollar. But then during the Second World War the real thing happen because then the U.S. also got all the gold in the world basically and most of the gold in the world. Why is it so. Well because they didn’t enter at work. Look this is where you are smart. This is where USA as a country can make good decisions. If you don’t go to war and I mean it seems like the US completely shifted their strategy in the past century. Look at how great it worked out when you are on the sidelines and you’re just exporting stuff to people who actually want to fight. And that is what happened. The second World World War and the US could export supplies food medicine different kinds of commerce different kinds of metals commodities to Europe. And they ended up with the biggest gold reserve in the world. Thanks to that thanks to that. So look this is so significant when you are more peaceful and you trade in your thinking with more long term and you are constrained by sound money. This society develops way better. This is something we’ve seen. And look look at just how this has changed in the past time. So collecting much of the payments in gold by the end of the war the United States owned the vast majority of the world’s gold. This is unprecedented. This precluded a return to gold standard. And basically because the US had already older gold a dollar became the standard. And since then we’ve been living on this world reserve currency. Now the situation really changed when Nixon removed any connection to gold and that’s basically where we are right now. And as you can see we’ve now had 50 years of this world reserve dollar of fiat basically this is not the money it used to be because dollar was gold in the past it was backed. Now not anymore. And now it’s mainly based on trust. And as you can see it never lasts forever. I’ve shown you this picture in the past. Portugal was the world’s reserve currency Spain Netherlands France Britain and now we have the US. And question is how long will it continue for. Because the more people understand sound money because the more people understand how to use crypto because more people understand that this is not sustainable. And why in the world should they be forced to speculate with my money. Why can I just have my money. This is the most annoying thing that when you get paid your forest you’re absolutely forced to give it to Wall Street. What will you do otherwise. Most people do not have the funds to buy real estate to have like you know income producing rental properties. They cannot buy. They don’t want to hold their money either because then they are being robbed each and every year by inflation. So the only way they can protect themselves from that is going to shit. Now here you have to be like it because if you bought just a few months ago you have lost 30 percent. So look just by going there you have to be like you and obviously Wall Street will rip you off and all of the financial advisors. I mean their whole idea is to of course extract as much value as possible from their clients. Now in addition to that most people in the world do not have access to brokerages like you and I have. So most people in the world don’t even have the option to protect themselves from inflation. So this this whole situation really really has to change and that we’ve been discussing yesterday how knowledge how science really removed the church from government because people became smarter and more educated they start to understand that the universe is not the way the church has been telling us. It is actually based on other concepts and we can now calculate the stars we can see all of this and you understand that people started to believe other things it was easier to say it you see how the narrative pushed by the church to be empowered doesn’t hold in the same right now as happening to the central banking system to this Keynesian Keynesian paradigm. The more people educate the more their stock starts to see Wait wait wait what. Just because something is called a quantitative easing doesn’t mean that more normal people cannot understand that you’re just printing money. Why is it called quantitative easing and not money printing. So that sounds smart because when you hear a money printing you think about Zimbabwe. When you hear quantitative easing you think about some kind of smart people in suits making smart decisions about the economy. But now people are starting to realize that is not how it works. And this whole system is by design by design complicated so that people don’t ask questions. So it can continue to exist just like you see a lot of discussion right now happening with quantitative easing. It wasn’t happening 10 years ago in 2006 and 2007 quantitative easing didn’t have this very bad bad cling to it. But now most people most people who are at least a bit into economy understand that quantitative easing is printing money. So there we’ve done a tremendous education tremendous education and it’s still happening. And that is the best thing with bitcoin believe it or not the best thing with Bitcoin is not bitcoin it is the education that Bitcoin gives to people that people become interested they try to understand how it works that is the biggest thing guys. Man that was a big rant but it was an important rant. And obviously you understand that it’s only the beginning because nothing is out of the question for the Fed nothing at all. And they will continue going while to support the markets the less and the next thing on their agenda is to start buying stocks directly because nothing is out of the question now. This will require congressional approval and already they’re able to buy a corporate debt. And this is kind of kind of what to say. They have to be imaginative. They had to be imaginative how to be able to buy corporate debt because it’s not really clear that it is allowed in the Federal Reserve Act. But if you are creative that’s the word creative enough. You can make it so that it is. It is according to the law but is the question of are you reading what the law says or what the law intense. So this is the big thing. But buying corporate debt was OK for them. If you read what the law says but not what the law intense about buying stocks directly it’s not gonna be possible without congressional approval. And this is going to be a big test. What the U.S. is willing to risk because if they will start doing this even more trust is going to disappear in this system. And look you are risking your risking and you and you shift what is going to be bitcoin but there is going to be China. There is going to be something else. We don’t know. We don’t know. Probably is going to be bitcoin. Maybe it’s going to be some kind of gold thing. Gold the currency. Really. I hope it will be bitcoin but we’ll see. We’ll see. Yes. Let me know what you think in the chat or in the in the comments. They change the laws as circumstances warrant says Bernard Exactly exactly. But I think this will truly show the desperation of the situation because obviously nobody wants to lose their status as the world’s reserve currency because it puts you in a position where you can where you have more freedom to print without facing inflation because there’s so much inherent demand for your currency. And that is why right now we’re seeing deflation guys. And remember always deflation before hyperinflation Mike Malone you go watch hidden secrets of money. And so what’s happening right now is that a lot of demand right now is for the dollar because so much debt is dominated in the dollar. And many people are losing a lot of money in the markets there. That needs to be repaid. So they’re just dumping all assets they’re trying to get hold of the dollars to pay it back to pay their debts back. But at the end of the day people will be sitting there with their dollars that do not produce any income. There are no real assets there no asset that can actually give you a check every month. And most importantly it is not backed by anything. And most importantly it doesn’t even have the trust because they’re printing it by the trillions. Now Bitcoin also doesn’t give you a check like Warren Buffett said it doesn’t write you a check at the end of the month. And many people made fun of him. But look I understand what he means. He means that usually he likes to put capital in companies in real estate something that produces you something but in bitcoin you have digital scarcity that is the thing that is the thing is not about getting a check every month. Although it’s good to have also assets that give you a check every month whether it’s dividend stock or whether it’s a real estate. The issue with both stock market and Lucent is that it’s so manipulated and inflated and we don’t really know what anything is worth really. So the thing with bitcoin is that yes you don’t really have any backing except for limited supply except for a worldwide network of payments except for enormous liquidity and in itself that is extreme value. Just the basic properties of censorship resistance worldwide. Anyone can use it. It is very liquid. It’s 24/7 across countries across nations. And that in itself is the big thing. Look that is the real value and that’s why you have to get some bitcoin yes if you don’t have bitcoin yet you have to get it. You absolutely have to get it. OK. Yes. Moving on. Moving on what is happening in the jail guys. I recently saw gold silver silver at twelve weeks back or order and the 1000 minimum. Yeah. They’re running out they’re running out Zippy says defy dividend. Exactly. You can get dividends if you are using deep buy. Absolutely. And that is why you should check out our defy course if you haven’t yet in our academy. So to use union swap to synthetics to really use all of these applications and protocols we do have all explanations for you and it’s very easy to start and you do get faster results. That is a thing you can literally within a few hours already be quite efficient and proficient in the using unit swap device the X looping rather with Khyber cable and people are loving this course with just released it a few a few days ago. This guy is amazing Amadeo brands. He is working with maker Dow actually get educated by the people who have created all of this most of this because maker Dow is at the foundation of everything. And you get even the essentials insurance the essential synthetics the sensor as money markets and so on so for us to go check guys. I don’t think that’s come. If you haven’t yet if you haven’t yet. Now guys moving on today we’re talking about who funds Bitcoin development alum Ivan will I be able to enroll in D5 course using a basic plan. Unfortunately not not on basic but on premium a basic is only to get started and get to know decades I mean basically it’s kind of like a trial because at them they did the big things are happening in them in premium and basic plan in itself is big because you get so much content and knowledge but then imagine what the premium plan is because I’m telling you the basic is just kind of introduction but the basic is also just it is a huge just that just that is huge. But imagine the premium. It’s 100 times bigger. Look you gotta understand who funds bitcoin and how this system works because bitcoin is obviously open source. Anyone can contribute you and I can contribute. Anyone with a brain and programming skills and and the passion and understanding can contribute. So you have amazing research by bit makes being created who funds because most of the developers are basically independent. They’re not getting paid by anyone. They are incentivized because they want to be Bitcoin developers. Man if you go to any job interview and you say that you’re a bitcoin developer it’s respect and it actually gives you a lot of power. It gives you a lot of power in the industry that you can show on GitHub that you get got some committee into bitcoin. And look it’s not difficult to be honest with you. We saw for example Jimmy song that he just started with doing testing and if you know some basic testing can definitely get a few comments into bitcoin and then look they have compiled a list of different entities that fund the development. So you have block stream you have lighting labs square crypto and square. But I didn’t know that they were so big in comparison to Bloxham look square crypto is kind of like blocking them in size of funding a bit less but kind of you have M.I.T. DCI. So you do have University Association as well chain called Big when it comes to bitcoin. You have purse and purse. Is this what it’s called you get like free stuff for discounts did you lab async Bitcoin ex Bitcoin expire bigger as well and the bit makes OK so yeah I mean there are some companies that are funding this now. If you actually look at what’s going on in terms of bitcoin particular most of the developers are independent as you can see here it’s not that block stream funds everyone like a lot of misinformation is always spread that blocks from owns all Bitcoin developers guys. They don’t they don’t. Most of them are independent. The second place is actually chain code and then blocks Jim and then M.I.T. and then DG labs and then square crypto. So this is how it works. And then you understand that all in all they looked at the top 33 contributors by all time number of comets. And here is where. You see the different contributors. So eleven are independent. You see seven chain called blocks Bloxham only has three and believe it or not. Only three out of 33. So it’s like 10 percent or even less. So I guess that is how it works. And it is decentralized now. Why would somebody like for example chain called or block stream even put money into this. What is the idea kind of like why Microsoft is putting a lot of money into open source as well just like big corporations are putting a lot of money in open source because you understand that all software that is big right now is open source whether you’re talking about Linux all servers right now are basically Linux you do have a few still running Microsoft. I mean most of it is Linux is the biggest operating system in the world when it comes to when it comes to server infrastructure. Now most most phones are running Android also open source sense and that it’s so big. And Android is Linux under the hood now. And other thing is of course the fact that all tools for development are open source. Most of them most of the things used to program is open source at the world is open source. It’s. Thank God we are because it wasn’t a clear thing just 10 years ago. And I think Microsoft when they open source dot net platform that is when they truly capitulated and said All right now open source is is the way open source is the key. So more and more companies during the past 10 15 20 years have been adopting technology that is open source because their customers understand it because it’s easy to patch. You have the latest security updated you really get the smartest people working on your software so it doesn’t make sense for you if you’re a company to build your own stack. Why would you why would you. Now to this point the biggest producers of proprietary software if you look at the consumer electronics it’s gotta be Apple. I mean they are still not really open source and they have a long way to go to use open source technologies although in many ways they have also been using a lot of Unix based systems for quite some time if I use a Mac you know how easy it is to use for programming when use frigging windows. Way difficult although when Microsoft started to open source. Now you have a command line a Linux command line in them in windows as well on all windows nowadays. You do get Windows command line. So what am I what am I saying. Well look at the corporate world. Everyone is now doing open source that is the standard. And obviously you want to contribute because you want to show that you are the leader in the space you want to attract talent because talented developers they want to work on open source. They want to be part of open source and all of this projects. In many cases because they’re respected there’s big respect for open source in development community in other cases because they want to show that they have contributed they can not show if it is proprietary they contribute and it’s gone forever it’s not theirs. And obviously right now companies are fighting between each other to be the leaders of open source to kind of be the companies that work with all of these technologies that are open source because if you’re a customer you’re going to go to whoever is most credible because if you’re a customer and they want infrastructure I will go to guys who know how to run and maybe even developed it. So that’s why corporations are running in open source it’s clear now with bitcoin and with development here is the same thing. Obviously Bloxham is a port a for profit company. They want to attract their clients because they are part of the development as well. They have three developers on board chain go code probably the same. So it’s all about building this trust in the community and building this momentum and authority and the forest. And when people say hey Block’s stream is going to take over bit and get married they have three developers. Out of thirty three to hijack the development. It’s you know it’s not going to puzzle most of developers are independent. And that’s important. I think it’s still important that most developers are independent and that is the case right now. Right now yes. Finally before we go into the chat which is time check out. I think that comes large deals you can get all kinds of deals. You remember already by bid and femme ex you can find them also below cribs with com you get 50 dollars if you sign up and you get debit card you get like an app exchange they have a lot of things as all domains and glass not so glass note is basically you get access to this indicators for free when it comes to on chain and they have hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of them. It’s really like this the job they’ve done to develop this and create all of these indicators is amazing and it’s free if used the link in I was the com slash deals. So that being said guys let’s take a look in the chat. How are you guys doing. Glass node offer work. If I already have an account Yamaha it will work. Yes. If you have it or is an account you have access to it mostly. Yeah. Business is not trust us until the other question is answered. BTC has nothing to do with weather. How do you mean. In what way is it not trust us. If the other is involved the thing that is worrying is obviously whether the price is correct or not. Do you buy gold. Ivan how I mean to be honest I don’t have a physical and I should I should have physical. But for me as I discussed with Mike Maloney and also in the chat previously for me is the authenticity you like. How do I know that the gold is real. Especially you can buy a few coins now. Like if your clients and stuff that’s okay. But if you’re serious like if you’re gonna buy a big chunk How do you ensure. I don’t know how to insure it. I need to trust someone who can insure it. I need all I need to learn I need to learn how to insure it so that is why I mean yes I can buy like a few thousand dollars of gold just as a safety backup but it’s just. Yeah the thing is it’s trust it is trust me. I saw you guys writing that you can drill a hole in it and you can try to see what’s in the area. That’s why I think bitcoin will be number one because look I think that I’m representing the younger generation to a big extent. Although there is another generation that is even younger and they have all kinds of digital assets. But for me I don’t have the kind of the same appeal to gold. I don’t know like I want bitcoin to be the gold that that is worth because I can verify it and I can verify it anytime and I don’t know maybe it’s just me. Maybe other people in my age they they like gold more than bitcoin but just managed to have the right to have this golden rock I got. I get that it’s important but man Yeah I should get it. Bitcoin should be tethered to gold not you as that. Well you mean that the price we should compare price to gold. I can agree with you on that. Yes I can agree on you on that that we should measure the price in gold instead of dollars because your measurement scale is changing each and every day because it does get hyper inflated the dollar so is better to use while you guys were pumping. We are pumping both on families and the let’s see. I’m here using 30 minute. Yeah I mean looking at 30 minutes we are pumping we’re pumping so definitely keep that in mind. Yeah here it is. Good guys good good. Yes. And then you have to have the gold at all. I know crypto Yoda I know. And then you have to have this. This. Yeah. Gold coins are okay. Coinstar okay but also you’re paying a huge premium for coins. That’s that’s also thing. But I know my colleague the here phenol Philippi he has goo here he likes it he likes he likes it and he has been thinking about also he has the knowledge at least how to do it yeah. Buying gold does not recommend for guys who are active in the crypto revolution. I think it does look is good to have is good to have a bit of gold yeah is good. It’s good to have like I’m just saying that I’m not really there yet but I will be probably. Will. But you don’t get gold fever for a bitcoin look. Another thing is that I don’t think it’s a good idea to store your gold at home. Like why would you why. Why. It’s it’s Yeah. You gotta solve some kind of custody. You can store small amounts but larger. It won’t work. Yeah. Let’s see. But you don’t get gold. Oh yeah. Exactly. Lots of eyes are watching open source codes. If there is any exploit. Yeah. That’s a big thing. Absolutely. That’s why open source is so compelling compelling. Let’s see how you sure you don’t end up. With tungsten. It’s called tungsten. You know that. It’s like heavy stone in Swedish. Some some information for you because when I was studying chemistry by the way I was fine so I went to this English school called IAB or look actually in. Let me see let me see. So in Swedish it’s actually evolved from nowadays. Previously it was called this tombstone. Now it’s interesting so from is. Is is this thanks to steam. Yeah. OK. Very interesting. But this is anyway. This battle was invented baseball did not invent it was discovered by SP. Anyway the name is Swedish. I don’t really know how it got there but probably something has to do. Too late to get gold. The premiums are crazy high. Yes physical gold absolute physical gold. Absolutely. Whenever a ship was talking bad about bitcoin with pump did he come out recently actually he pumped bitcoin. He said there’s going to appreciate in the recession a D. I’m planning to move to Stockholm for work this summer. Hope I can visit that chasm woman. Yeah you should go. Yes you should go to Stockholm in the summer. Stockholm is insanely beautiful in the summer. Yes it’s insane. It’s insane because there’s like a lot of water a lot of islands and it’s green. Yeah I love Stockholm in the summer. Not all cities are prettier in the summer but in Stockholm you have this ratio between winter and summer. That is just insane. Like it’s a thousand times more beautiful in summer than in the winter in normal cities or like maybe like five times more beautiful in summer but definitely a go here in summer. Is there a way to physically preserve bitcoin transaction history in the event of ENP event. Well there are many Romanian notes there is a satellite. There will not be an MP event. Nuking everything so you will obviously have your history and this is verifiable is verifiable because you have all proof of work there. So absolutely. Four billion and other that goes down. Imagine if that goes down. I know. Yes. Is big is BIG Ivan. Imagine your ass astronaut. And then one week you are sent to outer space mission for 20 years. You travel nearly at the speed of light so you will be one day older when you get back. Not really sure how you mean. You will only be one day older you mean that the time is going differently when you are travelling at speed of light. Yes I have heard that that the when you are newly at the speed of light the time kind of stops for you. But I need to refresh exactly how that works for this task. You get million dollars today. What would you have. What would you do with a million dollars. I would buy real assets. Look I would buy Bitcoin. Absolutely but also I would buy real estate especially with crashes in the nearest time because I have this feeling that the real estate is next. Guys we’ve seen stock market minus 30 percent. I feel that real estate across the world is next. Why why why is it so. Well people are losing their jobs as so many companies are firing right now in Sweden they’re not really firing because the government steps in and pay salaries up to 92 percent. Ninety two point five and the people only have to work 40 percent of the time. So the employer is paying approximately 50 percent of the salary and he gets 40 percent of labor time. So it’s worse for an employee than before but then the state pays the rest 42 percent. So the worker only works 40 percent but gets paid 92 percent of his salary. That will not continue forever. Look that will end in. I don’t know how many months in Sweden. Not not not many months because obviously the government they will go broke in a second if this continues for longer. So obviously will see a tragic situation if this Corona thing doesn’t disappear quickly because people will obviously lose their job. Absolutely. And they will lose their income which is extremely tragic. I mean that is what I hope we can avoid. We need to avoid that as much as possible. But obviously is going to be difficult to pay mortgage and you will have to sell if you cannot pay it. So that is why I think there might be good opportunities. And look at when you sell out when stock market goes to all time high all the time because of hyperinflation. You want to be there. You want to be there. So I wouldn’t discount stocks altogether because they are real asset in the sense that they give you cash flow all the time. I mean they are producing income they’re producing youth a constant monthly income dividends. The issue with them is obviously that they’ve been hyper inflated so much you don’t win an end P E ratios are insane. There’s a lot of insanity there. The same with real estate by the same with real estate now that they’re kind of coming back to where they should be. I think the last thing you will want to have is dollar at the end of the day because that will be hyper inflate. So whether it’s real estate Bitcoin gold stock like something that is that is more real. Yeah but because I think is the best solution in terms of risk reward risk reward is best in bitcoin no question about that. Think of everyone credit ratings that are going to be destroyed. Exactly. Yes but the free market will also just because your credit rating is only relative to other crazy ratings. So if everyone’s credit rating is destroyed banks will still want to lend out money so they will give it to guys with the best one but not maybe the best one. Like it was hit a year ago or two years ago. So it’s a free market. There are the credit market. The value of the dividends are taken from the stock value not worth to buy stocks for dividends crippling. Not really sure if like the value of the. You mean that they are already in the price of the stock. Maybe that’s what you mean. And it is true. Like you got to look at the PE ratio some stocks they have dividends that are so small compared to the share price that it’s not even worth it. But as soon as you can as long as you can get 5 10 percent it is good like it’s good. But yes the situation is good news to come down now. Why. Look this is interesting to be honest with you I haven’t even gone to high of a lot let me actually check how my page looks because it is the fourth Summit. I didn’t even look at it but now I see you guys writing to me the link. Let me see it because I have I have seen it. Do I have this thing as well and how does it look like or is that it does. Oh yeah interesting. Very interesting. Yeah. I just don’t know where the hell the keys to decide. To be honest with you like I did the noob mistake of maybe losing my Smith gear and that’s the thing because you can see I haven’t been active in two years. But yes. OK. So this is the new steam it is called Hi blog. Very interesting. Very interesting. So are these like amounts in hive now or what is it worth so much because they just worked. That’s actually good. If it’s worth so much let’s see how it compares to stimulus in terms of the funds. Man I should like free money. What woman. Why am I not doing this more. I should get used to posting there as well because look why would I say so. OK. So let’s see this reversing it has 170 eight here on Steam it and then hive which is the fork. 70. Man. It cannot be like that. There are some issue here because why is it exactly the same. Because the currencies now are different. I will have to do a bit more digging into it because the numbers are exactly the same. But maybe the numbers are not absolute. All. Yes. And why is it’s not even the latest. Because here I have yours and there I don’t. I aim out or. Oh wait wait wait. Yeah. This is the old thumbnail. And then we remove the thumbnails because. Yeah we had issues with YouTube. So this is kind of the new update that I get. Anyway I’m gonna do some research is a dollar. Yeah but it was the hive address. Why one to only the new post get new. Okay got it. I hope you haven’t been on steam for like two years and you together back but are people still using it. That’s like the big big thing. Are people still using it. Well ideally I will create the is there isn’t there like a bot that can just put it automatically because I don’t want to click every day on upload. I just want to write the bot. Maybe we’ll do that. Everyone uses high of its 4th like BCI. Oh yeah. Now tell me IMF as they are. What do you want to know about that. Andrew. Do you have 200 a tooth. Yeah I should. I should pick it pick it out. But I don’t know if is that even if it’s worth that much because I understand that all of these amounts are from the bull markets. And I didn’t really attach them so I don’t know whether like people are saying it is the amount there is created at the time of posting or something. Yes. Can you talk a bit about saga with Saga saga saga is the one is the is the stable coin is a stable coin with different currencies. I think we covered that because remember we cover that to be honest. I looked it up because people were asking about stable coins but to my understanding it is the currency with different the backing side of stable coin. She should be that one. Worldwide the money. Exactly exactly exactly. So this one is back like by different stuff. It’s not only bagged by one. This is a basket of currencies. So let’s see. Let’s see how big they become. The good thing is that we have a lot of different stable coins that’s important because when you are trading you don’t want to be switching into real Fiat you want to have stable coins so that when you think that the price has gone down and you’re crazy and you don’t want to short you just want to get out of the market go into stable coins currency that’s how people do it. But now you basically have tether you have you as the CEO of a few others. So it’s good that you can be in it even more so you can diversify and diversification is important. Why is it. Because many people did just use one exchange like buy it and buy it. Is amazing. But there’s also fed mix that is very similar and they have a slightly bigger bonus. So buy it is still our number one choice but check out the mix as well. And if you’re using one of them get the other because you want to diversify and they are very very good both of them. So you can find the links below and you get bonuses for both. If you use the linked links below we’re entering the Great Depression on steroids could be good because it could be. Absolutely. Ivan what do you think about bitcoin in your wallet. How do you know that big and in your wallet are not. Oh that’s a good question. That’s a good question. Well you know it. Because you yourself can verify it. You yourself can verify it. You can run your a.. You can connect to the network yourself. You can get the block chain. Mathematically you can verify that that block chain has been mined with a lot of electricity. So that is actually baked into the blocks and that’s the most fascinating thing by just analyzing the blocks in you see how much electricity was put to mind the different blocks. So you see basically the difficulty for each block. So when you get the block chain you can say OK the last block was 10 minutes ago I can verify mathematically that a lot of energy was put into each block then to be sure you also double check with all other nodes so you get the same block shame. So I have everyone gives you the same answer. What the real block chain is and you basically keep asking until you are certain that that is the real block shame that you got from all of the nodes and you can verify yourself and then you see at the end of the block chain what is the amount in my address in my in in my UTF source. Because really you have a bunch of your texts and your wallet shows your balance which is just a sum of all your utensils and that is how we can verify. But the most important thing is that you can verify how much electricity has been put into the block chain. You can verify for ourselves that hey the only way to produce this data that they have in front of me which is this block shown is to spend a lot of electricity. I know it sounds crazy but that is how it works. That is how proof of work and hashing functions work and you see the difficulty in each of the. Of the blocks so you can for yourself know for sure 100 percent certainty that for this blocks to be produced somebody spent the tens of thousands of dollars. And that is what gives you the verification that the that the blocking is real and that is the main bitcoin blocks. Yes. That is how that is. If the world moves to another fiat currency other than us. What do you think it will be. You. Yeah I mean maybe you can but it would really be a shame if it was you. I don’t really I don’t think it’s going to be one. Why. Because not many people are trusting them will raise it like it’s not a lot. Just look at the current crisis with with the illness. People are speculating all the time that the numbers coming out from China are fake this and that. And who would really trust just that currency at the end of the day. I think it’s highly highly quite questionable. Another thing that is important is that it’s not really how they do business. You know that you and you cannot really transfer it out of the country. Now there is offshore. There is an offshore version. But if they become the world’s reserve currency. Now you know it will not really work together with the way they’re trying to close down their situation there. So I don’t think it’s going to be China. To be honest I don’t think so. I think it’s going to be either some kind of gold the currency again because you will have to reset maybe is going to be gold I hope. And I think there is a chance and non zero chance that it will be OK Bitcoin in some way in some way may be Bitcoin backed in some way. Now statistically statistically I think a gold version is more probable because they justify that. Gold is gold. I mean everyone knows that. And because at the same time people in power can still stay in power. So obviously they will prefer to have some kind of gold standard again because then they can redo the scam yet again. So statistically it might be gold but there is a non-zero chance that it will be Bitcoin. And the risk reward of that is is huge. It’s huge. And even if it’s not the reserve currency is it still going to be big because that is the only digital value you have that is that you’re certain of. So yeah. Is it’s gold it is gold bitcoin will die says safeguards in the moose. Really really really safe. I didn’t hear that situation safe so I so spontaneously I don’t really agree but I should interview safe and arms because that theory is interesting. People who want because look if a gold standard is basically the reason why I don’t agree with that statement that there was gonna be gold then bitcoin will die is because a gold standard changes nothing. It’s basically the same scam or all over again because they’re gonna remove the backing. Again just the question of time. So with a gold standard nothing really has changed. It’s just that it sounds it sounds better and it will be gold for a few years then they’re they to remove the banking yet again. It’s simple the gold is the defeat currently that system is the biggest the biggest reason why we have fiat right now. I mean sorry the fiat system is the biggest example of why gold has failed so gold is the biggest reason why Fiat. Yep. Switzerland is the best choice. Maybe Switzerland the franc let’s see how they perform against dollar because they are performing quite good good compared to other currencies. So that’s true. That’s true. Let’s see. So yeah I mean they’re not. It’s nothing drastic that we’re seeing that not nothing and nothing drastic that we’re seeing are actually left me doing a stunt it to C H F yeah I mean it’s even gone down since since March. But if you look at five year I mean yeah it’s quite stable quite stable and over time over time. It’s actually strengthening. So there you go guys. There we go guys. Now look at this disaster is it still a disaster actually. They have recovered so Norway man. Absolute disaster. What is this. It’s insane Norwegian people have lost they went from I mean at the beginning of 2019 it was eight point seven at the peak which we saw just. Here it was twelve almost man it’s from eight point seven to twelve almost. Can you imagine now. We’re not. We’re not too much better look but a bit more stable but still not very good. Swedish Crown the krona and not from good. What I’m surprised though this is these guys Denmark. What the hell. Performing quite well against the dollar. So yeah Norway. Not really good. I mean Norway is the worst. To be honest with you there at absolute worst. What is this. Sweden also bad a bit better a bit better and Denmark wins this race of not devaluing check it. Okay let me check. I will check. I know you have many more vision guys. You have oil you have oil so don’t don’t get mad. You have oil. So Yemen. Oh yeah. Would strengthen you. Look at this. Look at this. The the this. We should. So yeah. We should go to Norway. It’s a bit cheaper there now. Yeah. Anyway. Anyway I guess that’s actually I don’t know why why Norway is losing so much to be honest. Why are everyone dumping not Norway. I don’t know. But yeah the oil price of course. The oil price. Yeah exactly. Exactly. Yes guys. You’re completely correct. You’re completely. That is why the chatter so amazing. You guys are solving. Yeah of course. Oil. Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes of course yes. OK. Thank you so much. Yet again see you are contributing all to the streams. So that’s amazing. That’s amazing. Thank you so much for being here yet. So maybe does the collapse of Norway Sweden has been dreaming about for such a long time. I’m joking but it is true. Look it is true because in Sweden we have industry like it’s not even Swedish fully owned but you get the point like Volvo scan the electoral looks like there are so many things Spotify like there are a lot of industrial things coming out of Europe. Norway it’s mainly oil mainly oil Yeah. So we’ll see we’ll see. I’m obviously just joking. A seal tomorrow at 8 a.m. Central European Time summertime centripetal summertime big sovereign fund. I mean the good thing with Norway that is amazing is that actually people get the wealth of the country that is not the case in Russia for example. Like people don’t get the wealth of that there is no sovereign fund there. There is no. So that is what. And you know my relatives are from there. And yes that is kind of the thing you always the unfortunate people go go around saying that Russia is so rich in terms of resources but people are always so poor and yes it’s the structure the whole structure is bad. So that’s the biggest thing that Norway has done by the way. That is that fund and that it’s not going to disappear into the you know into the government officials pocket like unfortunately it doesn’t many other countries so say do so much very much for being here. I’ll see you all tomorrow 8:00 a.m. Central happy on summertime and have a good day. Enjoy your day. Check out baby check out fan mix. Great them great things in the description. Only if you’re experience and see old tomorrow. Have a good day and goodbye Yes. Goodbye goodbye goodbye.

DOLLAR COLLAPSING 2020!?! BUY BITCOIN, Who funds development – Programmer explains

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

And we’re alive. Yes. Welcome to another episode of Good Morning Krypton here on an island on take we are of course broadcasting live straight out of Stockholm Sweden. And we do this show each and every day at 8:00 a.m. Central happy and summertime. Guys I’m coming to you like an atomic clock. Each and every day please be aware we switch to summertime see if your countries did not wish to summertime all streams are one hour earlier. Look we’re going to discuss the dollar because it’s not doing good guys at the end of the day it’s not doing good. And we’re going to go through some other world reserve currencies we’ve seen in the past and you will soon see that the time was limited for each world reserve currency and circumstances change very very very quickly. First and foremost if you look at the past century at the beginning of the past century you had the British pound completely dominating completely dominating the world. And you see how quickly British pound lost lost his position as number one and how dollar emerged very quickly because of certain circumstances in the world. And the same is happening right now. I do think that we’re witnessing a bolstered dollar world in the nearest future may be within maybe within menu of you who are watching lifetimes and maybe within even sooner than we think even within a timeframe that is even sooner sooner than many people think because this is what happened to the British pound nobody would have really imagined that it would disappear so quickly as no one. So that’s very important. Yes. And you understand that bitcoin is so key when we’re talking about this. This is the most important contest in terms of having a world where currency and where the state are two different things. Just like we discussed yesterday how religion sooner or later decoupled from the state in most countries religion and the state are two different things. Nowadays in most countries. The same is going to happen with currency with money. And we understand that money and currency are two different things here this currency. Bitcoin is money gold is money. So that’s going to be a big topic. Now we’re also going to discuss who funds Bitcoin. This is a big debate. This is a big question I always get. Who is funding these developers who are working on Bitcoin because it is open source. Nobody really gets paid from anyone. If you think about how open source works but obviously you do have companies sponsoring developers and in this episode we’re going to which companies sponsor which developers who develop bitcoin and how this whole industry really works. Because when you just learn about open source it might sound to that people are just racing without getting paid. Some of them are. Some of them are writing because they want respect. I mean to be honest with you when you look at what drives developers a lot of it is respect just the fact that you are contributing to Bitcoin. But then there are other things as well. That being said yes welcome everyone who is watching this live. Amazing to see all of you on. I don’t think that com slash life if you are watching this on YouTube. This is just a recording so you should go to. I went do that com slash live and subscribe over there right now. As soon as possible. That is the only way to see us live each and every day. And if you are here already. Be sure to check subscribe here. Be sure to check in there Bill web alerts. Be sure to check notifications. And obviously we have dark mode as always as always so be sure to do it straight away. Now I do see Matic I do see your leg crippled Yoda. Watch Dog Moss David Johnson five young guys hurry guys. George group the huddle free steak Edmond Slobodan Zoid some guys I see a lot a lot of use here. It’s so amazing. Let me know right now straight away. Where are you tuning in from this fine and fantastic Monday morning thing got this Monday. The world is coming back to work back to life. At least to the extent we’re capable to right now with the current currency situation and as always let me know what you’re drinking while London and Norway. Tunisian from the moon. That’s nice. That’s nice. OK let’s first of all cover some recent news and that is the fact that during the night we fell below 6k. And really many people were freaking out because we basically went to five point eight 8-K in bitcoin at one point eight U.S. dollars for one Bitcoin. The good thing is that we have completely completely recovered that loss very quickly. So we understand that basically now instead of seeing weakness we do see strength because when you look at the daily candle we have already recovered this loss from yesterday that was quite significant man. We went almost to five point eight but now we have completely recovered that. So it’s looking quite good because the fact that we’re able to hold it and maybe if we wouldn’t even if we can try to run for six point nine that would show strength in this market as we’re able to hold six game. That’s very very important. Now looking on the top 10 crypto currencies today as of this moment we have bitcoin minus zero point zero five percent. And that’s quite good to be honest because just a few hours ago as I told you it didn’t look good at all. It wouldn’t look good at all at least in this short short term Webb is at minus zero point sixteen quite stable overall. Overall looking at the top gainers we have energy start to squint and look at the top losers EDC. Guys I told you Look EDC it’s it’s some kind of Fisher thing going on here. I see it every day I stop the pumper with extremely low volume over seven days it’s still 500 percent. But please please be careful you will not be able to get out of this market with this low volume as C minus 13. Well still they have an issue obviously with hive because Sim has been more or less hijacked by Tron and Justin sun so steam is not really the steam that used to be steam is not really the steam it used to be in terms of community first and foremost because community is now in hive at least those guys who revolted against the takeover from from Tron. Well it turned out minus 12. And all and all quite good quite good markets quite fantastic time to be alive again. That’s the most important thing. And please keep in mind that we do have our collaboration with by bit. You use the link below you can get some ninety dollars to get started you can go long you can go short you can use leverage up to 100 dates and recently we’ve also onboard that fem mix as our collaboration as well. So you can do the same thing here and really they are quite similar by bit unfair mix but it’s very important to diversify. So if you have if you are already trading on one of them get the other and you can find the link below. They have great bonuses both of them. So definitely check them both out and if you have too much money on one of them just go to the other end diversify but please only use this if you are a professional trader because obviously trading with leverage is dangerous and you should not do it if you’re just starting out. Now before we get into the post the dollar world I want to remind you guys that we’ve had a situation with V a hash rate. We’ve had the situation with the fact that miners were basically going out of business and they struggled. So the most important thing to look at right now is that we did see a difficult adjustment happen and we saw difficult to adjust downwards right here on the 5th the 25th of March and the difficult difficulty you see this huge number this is how difficult it is to mine to mine the block and that really difficult to number one tell you a lot if you don’t size how proof of work works. You can go check out the middle time to the dot com a cardinal down to the com to check out our archives more with teach you all about that how difficult to works. But on the high level this is basically how difficult it is to mine and if the block time if the blocked them is higher than 10 minutes then the difficulty gets adjusted downward. Because we always want to have at 10 min at the block time and as you can see we did see this spike in in block interval and that’s where we had to correct. That’s what we had to correct on this one is in the minutes it seems like so as you can see when we spiked right here to nine hundred thirty five minutes we had to adjust the difficult to downwards because you know that we should average 600 or so seconds seconds second seconds not minutes seconds of course seconds because we should average 600 seconds which is 10 minutes. But here we had the 900. So yeah that’s why we did a fall in difficulty. And as you can see when the difficulty fell the revenue shot up instantly right here. So here’s where difficulty fell. And the same day revenue shot up. So this is how the network balances itself. Yeah exactly. Well I get seconds and seconds I see that and the same thing is obviously seen in all kinds of other proof of work chains proof of work chains. So it’s not only Bitcoin whenever you have proof of work chain this is how is going to be. And if you want to get these stats you can just go to Best Script of deals and you can get like a link to get free access to this. It’s completely free access and what’s good is now that they have this dashboard that I like. Last note for example you can get a dashboard with all kinds of on or on chain indicators and all and all the network is now stable. We’ve seen this hash rate drop. And especially seen if you look at the past a year that we’ve seen this speed peak and then in March we’ve been going down. But you understand that all in all when the halving happens usually usually the hash rate is not severely affected even though the reward is cut in half. But we had to adjust the difficulty quite significantly as you can see here and this is what I just discussed with you. But a bit more zoomed out version that this difficulty needs to be adjusted because some miners had to shut down the machines. So that’s the situation with mining. I know I know many people of you asked it and that’s why so important to clarify exactly what’s going on now in terms of the world situation. We have more and more action now being taken by the U.S. and this is very key to understand if you witnessing what’s going on in the world and you’re tracking it. So number one we have Trump changing his position a bit because he was a bit more relaxed up until right now and now he sees the real seriousness in the situation with Corona and then what we’re witnessing now is basically him saying that you need to be doing social distancing for longer for longer to the citizens. He is saying that yesterday we discussed that we may see a quarantine in New York and some other big cities New York New Jersey Connecticut I think as well. And now he is basically saying that look at the end of the day we need to stay alert and that we can not to reverse drastic measures that are in place by Easter like he said previously. Instead now he’s changing his mind a bit and saying that hey maybe it’s going to be until the end of April and therefore the economy is going to obviously take a hit. But that’s important in this period like more and more people are now coming to consensus. It’s important to stop the spread number one and then you can return to the economy. Otherwise nothing’s going to work out nothing nothing in the world is going to work. If the virus keeps growing. So the most important priority and more and more people are coming to consensus now is that we need to contain it by doing even more social distancing. But that is of course putting a lot of pressure on the dollar and that is of course something that we’ve got to discuss because they’re going to stimulate they’re going to stimulate there have already been stimulating by trillions. And it’s only the beginning. Slobodan says anyone seen Roger versed with the Koran. I’ve seen it. Yeah. He’s basically saying that it’s it’s all good. No need to worry a lot. Or a driver said on Twitter approximately something like that. But look at the end of the day. More and more people are coming to consensus that it is serious is extremely serious. And look my mom works in India in one of the biggest hospitals hearings in Sweden my mother and the E. It’s not a joke. Yes. It’s absolutely not a joke. This thing and especially now that we’re witnessing even young people pass away so we did see a 16 year old in France at the hospital where my mother works where the 13 year old also passing passing away. So it is. Yeah. It’s not only old people. Absolutely not. And now we’re seeing this seriousness even reached Trump and other and other people in high places so to speak who have been downplaying it is like Boris Johnson who also downplayed it in the beginning but then got infected himself. Because he shook hands in all hospitals with all Corona patients like you like you said previously I don’t know if you’ve seen it but it’s it’s something that we can really really not ignore right now what’s going on in the world. But the notion that this puts a pressure on the dollar and the circumstances really really really threaten the door’s position just like the first world war put the pressure on the pound as you will see this circumstances that we have in the world this black swan events are truly changing big things in ways nobody can predict. So one of the reasons why everyone right now is paying to bail out American companies the whole world is speaking not only the U.S. that’s important is because everyone has the U.S. dollar as their reserve currency. So a lot of people across the world a lot of banks hold the U.S. dollar in reserve. That’s just how it works. So as John Connolly junior Richard Nixon’s Treasury Secretary put in 1971. So this is actually from Nixon’s Treasury Secretary. The dollar is America’s currency but the world’s problem but the world’s problem. Why is it so. Well because when the Fed goes bananas when the Fed goes wild and they’re printing they’re having their printer go but you understand that it’s not only the U.S. that pays. Everyone pays because the U.S. dollar is the reserve currency. So hundreds of billions of dollars were injected into U.S. businesses to counter the effects of Corona. If the money came from taxation then the Americans are paying from their pocket but it’s not from taxation. But if it comes from the Federal Reserve then all nations are paying. So this is very important and obviously this undermines trust in the system because if you’re sitting there in whatever country and you have struggles of your own obviously everyone has struggles but then you have this unfair skew in the economical system that when we print money for example your central bank if you’re not living in the U.S. If you print money then it’s basically only your nation that is getting poorer it’s the citizens in your nation that they’re getting poorer because they hold the currency while when the U.S. prints money then everyone in the world loses wealth because everyone has their workers. And obviously this can continue for a while. If anyone in you maybe for a few decades which it has been now going on for a few decades and many people have been discussing this unfairness and really how the world really works. Cosmo DeLuca says yes we export inflation. That’s that’s true. And then at the end of the day something happens so severe that we reach a breaking point where nobody wants to continue anymore. Why is it so. Because we’ve seen that in the past as well. Look at how the U.S. dollar became the world’s reserve currency. Well it became world’s reserve currency when people basically lost all trust in the British pound and this had to do with the first world war. First and foremost but then with the second world war. So first thing we have to understand is that we had the gold standard and the many countries had the gold standard that they had to abandon in 1914 when the World War One really really started to show up on the horizon and they had to pay for military expenses. That is why central banking allows for a lot of conflicts because the governments can just fund their expenses their war expenses through inflation that would never be possible if everyone just use bitcoin or gold or something else. Now gold is not very practical but with bitcoin this would never be possible. So really when we’re talking about the new monetary paradigm we’re talking about a new paradigm where if you are a government you really need to be thinking carefully about going to what really really really carefully because you cannot just print new currency. That is how it will be in the future. Right now it’s obviously not like that still. Governments can print and go to war and do whatever they want really. But so three years into the war Britain which was the world’s reserve currency they still had the gold standard. They still maintain that because they wanted to still have a bit of trust. They wanted to keep their position as world reserve currency. Now this did not work. They had to borrow for the first time. And they understand that either you print for currency or you borrow or you take money from taxes you do something. So they tried to borrow to pay for their expenses. Never really worked out. So in not in 1919 they had finally abandoned the gold standard. They were forced which decimated the bank accounts of international merchants who traded in pounds. So look if you are in 1919 you have a lot of pounds and then Britain just abandons the gold standard because they have to pay for war then you are losing out because by having pounds you’re trusting Britain the same right now if you’re having dollars you’re trusting and all the world has dollars. So United States became the lender of choice for many countries that were willing to buy dollar denominated U.S. bonds. So this is where it really starts to shift. And right now we’re seeing a similar thing in the US as well. It isn’t a very difficult position just like Britain was in very difficult position during the First World War. And you know that any World War we’ve seen in the past decade we’ve had to. It was so devastating and it wasn’t really clear who’s going to win. Up until the end it wasn’t an easy task for anyone especially the First World War we had years of this trench wars and nobody really could move their positions. It was very long very difficult situation. And basically it cost Britain the world’s reserve currency. It cost Britain a lot. Absolutely a lot. So right now with everything that is going on the fact that the Fed just has to go better like crazy money printing gold say bananas. This is happening even more right now because the US is now understanding how severe it is and U.S. is growing exponentially more than anyone right now when it comes to infection. So we’re witnessing something that is unavoidable. You have to close down the country basically. But the way they’re supporting the markets the way they are debasing their currency is like we’ve never seen before. And just like in 1919 people are now questioning whether this will continue. And we’re seeing another potential paradigm shift. And so Britain has finally been forced to leave the gold standard. And by then the dollar had replaced the pound as world leading reserve. So it wasn’t really officially the world’s reserve currency but just by market mechanics it was the fact that more and more people had that had the dollar. But then during the Second World War the real thing happen because then the U.S. also got all the gold in the world basically and most of the gold in the world. Why is it so. Well because they didn’t enter at work. Look this is where you are smart. This is where USA as a country can make good decisions. If you don’t go to war and I mean it seems like the US completely shifted their strategy in the past century. Look at how great it worked out when you are on the sidelines and you’re just exporting stuff to people who actually want to fight. And that is what happened. The second World World War and the US could export supplies food medicine different kinds of commerce different kinds of metals commodities to Europe. And they ended up with the biggest gold reserve in the world. Thanks to that thanks to that. So look this is so significant when you are more peaceful and you trade in your thinking with more long term and you are constrained by sound money. This society develops way better. This is something we’ve seen. And look look at just how this has changed in the past time. So collecting much of the payments in gold by the end of the war the United States owned the vast majority of the world’s gold. This is unprecedented. This precluded a return to gold standard. And basically because the US had already older gold a dollar became the standard. And since then we’ve been living on this world reserve currency. Now the situation really changed when Nixon removed any connection to gold and that’s basically where we are right now. And as you can see we’ve now had 50 years of this world reserve dollar of fiat basically this is not the money it used to be because dollar was gold in the past it was backed. Now not anymore. And now it’s mainly based on trust. And as you can see it never lasts forever. I’ve shown you this picture in the past. Portugal was the world’s reserve currency Spain Netherlands France Britain and now we have the US. And question is how long will it continue for. Because the more people understand sound money because the more people understand how to use crypto because more people understand that this is not sustainable. And why in the world should they be forced to speculate with my money. Why can I just have my money. This is the most annoying thing that when you get paid your forest you’re absolutely forced to give it to Wall Street. What will you do otherwise. Most people do not have the funds to buy real estate to have like you know income producing rental properties. They cannot buy. They don’t want to hold their money either because then they are being robbed each and every year by inflation. So the only way they can protect themselves from that is going to shit. Now here you have to be like it because if you bought just a few months ago you have lost 30 percent. So look just by going there you have to be like you and obviously Wall Street will rip you off and all of the financial advisors. I mean their whole idea is to of course extract as much value as possible from their clients. Now in addition to that most people in the world do not have access to brokerages like you and I have. So most people in the world don’t even have the option to protect themselves from inflation. So this this whole situation really really has to change and that we’ve been discussing yesterday how knowledge how science really removed the church from government because people became smarter and more educated they start to understand that the universe is not the way the church has been telling us. It is actually based on other concepts and we can now calculate the stars we can see all of this and you understand that people started to believe other things it was easier to say it you see how the narrative pushed by the church to be empowered doesn’t hold in the same right now as happening to the central banking system to this Keynesian Keynesian paradigm. The more people educate the more their stock starts to see Wait wait wait what. Just because something is called a quantitative easing doesn’t mean that more normal people cannot understand that you’re just printing money. Why is it called quantitative easing and not money printing. So that sounds smart because when you hear a money printing you think about Zimbabwe. When you hear quantitative easing you think about some kind of smart people in suits making smart decisions about the economy. But now people are starting to realize that is not how it works. And this whole system is by design by design complicated so that people don’t ask questions. So it can continue to exist just like you see a lot of discussion right now happening with quantitative easing. It wasn’t happening 10 years ago in 2006 and 2007 quantitative easing didn’t have this very bad bad cling to it. But now most people most people who are at least a bit into economy understand that quantitative easing is printing money. So there we’ve done a tremendous education tremendous education and it’s still happening. And that is the best thing with bitcoin believe it or not the best thing with Bitcoin is not bitcoin it is the education that Bitcoin gives to people that people become interested they try to understand how it works that is the biggest thing guys. Man that was a big rant but it was an important rant. And obviously you understand that it’s only the beginning because nothing is out of the question for the Fed nothing at all. And they will continue going while to support the markets the less and the next thing on their agenda is to start buying stocks directly because nothing is out of the question now. This will require congressional approval and already they’re able to buy a corporate debt. And this is kind of kind of what to say. They have to be imaginative. They had to be imaginative how to be able to buy corporate debt because it’s not really clear that it is allowed in the Federal Reserve Act. But if you are creative that’s the word creative enough. You can make it so that it is. It is according to the law but is the question of are you reading what the law says or what the law intense. So this is the big thing. But buying corporate debt was OK for them. If you read what the law says but not what the law intense about buying stocks directly it’s not gonna be possible without congressional approval. And this is going to be a big test. What the U.S. is willing to risk because if they will start doing this even more trust is going to disappear in this system. And look you are risking your risking and you and you shift what is going to be bitcoin but there is going to be China. There is going to be something else. We don’t know. We don’t know. Probably is going to be bitcoin. Maybe it’s going to be some kind of gold thing. Gold the currency. Really. I hope it will be bitcoin but we’ll see. We’ll see. Yes. Let me know what you think in the chat or in the in the comments. They change the laws as circumstances warrant says Bernard Exactly exactly. But I think this will truly show the desperation of the situation because obviously nobody wants to lose their status as the world’s reserve currency because it puts you in a position where you can where you have more freedom to print without facing inflation because there’s so much inherent demand for your currency. And that is why right now we’re seeing deflation guys. And remember always deflation before hyperinflation Mike Malone you go watch hidden secrets of money. And so what’s happening right now is that a lot of demand right now is for the dollar because so much debt is dominated in the dollar. And many people are losing a lot of money in the markets there. That needs to be repaid. So they’re just dumping all assets they’re trying to get hold of the dollars to pay it back to pay their debts back. But at the end of the day people will be sitting there with their dollars that do not produce any income. There are no real assets there no asset that can actually give you a check every month. And most importantly it is not backed by anything. And most importantly it doesn’t even have the trust because they’re printing it by the trillions. Now Bitcoin also doesn’t give you a check like Warren Buffett said it doesn’t write you a check at the end of the month. And many people made fun of him. But look I understand what he means. He means that usually he likes to put capital in companies in real estate something that produces you something but in bitcoin you have digital scarcity that is the thing that is the thing is not about getting a check every month. Although it’s good to have also assets that give you a check every month whether it’s dividend stock or whether it’s a real estate. The issue with both stock market and Lucent is that it’s so manipulated and inflated and we don’t really know what anything is worth really. So the thing with bitcoin is that yes you don’t really have any backing except for limited supply except for a worldwide network of payments except for enormous liquidity and in itself that is extreme value. Just the basic properties of censorship resistance worldwide. Anyone can use it. It is very liquid. It’s 24/7 across countries across nations. And that in itself is the big thing. Look that is the real value and that’s why you have to get some bitcoin yes if you don’t have bitcoin yet you have to get it. You absolutely have to get it. OK. Yes. Moving on. Moving on what is happening in the jail guys. I recently saw gold silver silver at twelve weeks back or order and the 1000 minimum. Yeah. They’re running out they’re running out Zippy says defy dividend. Exactly. You can get dividends if you are using deep buy. Absolutely. And that is why you should check out our defy course if you haven’t yet in our academy. So to use union swap to synthetics to really use all of these applications and protocols we do have all explanations for you and it’s very easy to start and you do get faster results. That is a thing you can literally within a few hours already be quite efficient and proficient in the using unit swap device the X looping rather with Khyber cable and people are loving this course with just released it a few a few days ago. This guy is amazing Amadeo brands. He is working with maker Dow actually get educated by the people who have created all of this most of this because maker Dow is at the foundation of everything. And you get even the essentials insurance the essential synthetics the sensor as money markets and so on so for us to go check guys. I don’t think that’s come. If you haven’t yet if you haven’t yet. Now guys moving on today we’re talking about who funds Bitcoin development alum Ivan will I be able to enroll in D5 course using a basic plan. Unfortunately not not on basic but on premium a basic is only to get started and get to know decades I mean basically it’s kind of like a trial because at them they did the big things are happening in them in premium and basic plan in itself is big because you get so much content and knowledge but then imagine what the premium plan is because I’m telling you the basic is just kind of introduction but the basic is also just it is a huge just that just that is huge. But imagine the premium. It’s 100 times bigger. Look you gotta understand who funds bitcoin and how this system works because bitcoin is obviously open source. Anyone can contribute you and I can contribute. Anyone with a brain and programming skills and and the passion and understanding can contribute. So you have amazing research by bit makes being created who funds because most of the developers are basically independent. They’re not getting paid by anyone. They are incentivized because they want to be Bitcoin developers. Man if you go to any job interview and you say that you’re a bitcoin developer it’s respect and it actually gives you a lot of power. It gives you a lot of power in the industry that you can show on GitHub that you get got some committee into bitcoin. And look it’s not difficult to be honest with you. We saw for example Jimmy song that he just started with doing testing and if you know some basic testing can definitely get a few comments into bitcoin and then look they have compiled a list of different entities that fund the development. So you have block stream you have lighting labs square crypto and square. But I didn’t know that they were so big in comparison to Bloxham look square crypto is kind of like blocking them in size of funding a bit less but kind of you have M.I.T. DCI. So you do have University Association as well chain called Big when it comes to bitcoin. You have purse and purse. Is this what it’s called you get like free stuff for discounts did you lab async Bitcoin ex Bitcoin expire bigger as well and the bit makes OK so yeah I mean there are some companies that are funding this now. If you actually look at what’s going on in terms of bitcoin particular most of the developers are independent as you can see here it’s not that block stream funds everyone like a lot of misinformation is always spread that blocks from owns all Bitcoin developers guys. They don’t they don’t. Most of them are independent. The second place is actually chain code and then blocks Jim and then M.I.T. and then DG labs and then square crypto. So this is how it works. And then you understand that all in all they looked at the top 33 contributors by all time number of comets. And here is where. You see the different contributors. So eleven are independent. You see seven chain called blocks Bloxham only has three and believe it or not. Only three out of 33. So it’s like 10 percent or even less. So I guess that is how it works. And it is decentralized now. Why would somebody like for example chain called or block stream even put money into this. What is the idea kind of like why Microsoft is putting a lot of money into open source as well just like big corporations are putting a lot of money in open source because you understand that all software that is big right now is open source whether you’re talking about Linux all servers right now are basically Linux you do have a few still running Microsoft. I mean most of it is Linux is the biggest operating system in the world when it comes to when it comes to server infrastructure. Now most most phones are running Android also open source sense and that it’s so big. And Android is Linux under the hood now. And other thing is of course the fact that all tools for development are open source. Most of them most of the things used to program is open source at the world is open source. It’s. Thank God we are because it wasn’t a clear thing just 10 years ago. And I think Microsoft when they open source dot net platform that is when they truly capitulated and said All right now open source is is the way open source is the key. So more and more companies during the past 10 15 20 years have been adopting technology that is open source because their customers understand it because it’s easy to patch. You have the latest security updated you really get the smartest people working on your software so it doesn’t make sense for you if you’re a company to build your own stack. Why would you why would you. Now to this point the biggest producers of proprietary software if you look at the consumer electronics it’s gotta be Apple. I mean they are still not really open source and they have a long way to go to use open source technologies although in many ways they have also been using a lot of Unix based systems for quite some time if I use a Mac you know how easy it is to use for programming when use frigging windows. Way difficult although when Microsoft started to open source. Now you have a command line a Linux command line in them in windows as well on all windows nowadays. You do get Windows command line. So what am I what am I saying. Well look at the corporate world. Everyone is now doing open source that is the standard. And obviously you want to contribute because you want to show that you are the leader in the space you want to attract talent because talented developers they want to work on open source. They want to be part of open source and all of this projects. In many cases because they’re respected there’s big respect for open source in development community in other cases because they want to show that they have contributed they can not show if it is proprietary they contribute and it’s gone forever it’s not theirs. And obviously right now companies are fighting between each other to be the leaders of open source to kind of be the companies that work with all of these technologies that are open source because if you’re a customer you’re going to go to whoever is most credible because if you’re a customer and they want infrastructure I will go to guys who know how to run and maybe even developed it. So that’s why corporations are running in open source it’s clear now with bitcoin and with development here is the same thing. Obviously Bloxham is a port a for profit company. They want to attract their clients because they are part of the development as well. They have three developers on board chain go code probably the same. So it’s all about building this trust in the community and building this momentum and authority and the forest. And when people say hey Block’s stream is going to take over bit and get married they have three developers. Out of thirty three to hijack the development. It’s you know it’s not going to puzzle most of developers are independent. And that’s important. I think it’s still important that most developers are independent and that is the case right now. Right now yes. Finally before we go into the chat which is time check out. I think that comes large deals you can get all kinds of deals. You remember already by bid and femme ex you can find them also below cribs with com you get 50 dollars if you sign up and you get debit card you get like an app exchange they have a lot of things as all domains and glass not so glass note is basically you get access to this indicators for free when it comes to on chain and they have hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of them. It’s really like this the job they’ve done to develop this and create all of these indicators is amazing and it’s free if used the link in I was the com slash deals. So that being said guys let’s take a look in the chat. How are you guys doing. Glass node offer work. If I already have an account Yamaha it will work. Yes. If you have it or is an account you have access to it mostly. Yeah. Business is not trust us until the other question is answered. BTC has nothing to do with weather. How do you mean. In what way is it not trust us. If the other is involved the thing that is worrying is obviously whether the price is correct or not. Do you buy gold. Ivan how I mean to be honest I don’t have a physical and I should I should have physical. But for me as I discussed with Mike Maloney and also in the chat previously for me is the authenticity you like. How do I know that the gold is real. Especially you can buy a few coins now. Like if your clients and stuff that’s okay. But if you’re serious like if you’re gonna buy a big chunk How do you ensure. I don’t know how to insure it. I need to trust someone who can insure it. I need all I need to learn I need to learn how to insure it so that is why I mean yes I can buy like a few thousand dollars of gold just as a safety backup but it’s just. Yeah the thing is it’s trust it is trust me. I saw you guys writing that you can drill a hole in it and you can try to see what’s in the area. That’s why I think bitcoin will be number one because look I think that I’m representing the younger generation to a big extent. Although there is another generation that is even younger and they have all kinds of digital assets. But for me I don’t have the kind of the same appeal to gold. I don’t know like I want bitcoin to be the gold that that is worth because I can verify it and I can verify it anytime and I don’t know maybe it’s just me. Maybe other people in my age they they like gold more than bitcoin but just managed to have the right to have this golden rock I got. I get that it’s important but man Yeah I should get it. Bitcoin should be tethered to gold not you as that. Well you mean that the price we should compare price to gold. I can agree with you on that. Yes I can agree on you on that that we should measure the price in gold instead of dollars because your measurement scale is changing each and every day because it does get hyper inflated the dollar so is better to use while you guys were pumping. We are pumping both on families and the let’s see. I’m here using 30 minute. Yeah I mean looking at 30 minutes we are pumping we’re pumping so definitely keep that in mind. Yeah here it is. Good guys good good. Yes. And then you have to have the gold at all. I know crypto Yoda I know. And then you have to have this. This. Yeah. Gold coins are okay. Coinstar okay but also you’re paying a huge premium for coins. That’s that’s also thing. But I know my colleague the here phenol Philippi he has goo here he likes it he likes he likes it and he has been thinking about also he has the knowledge at least how to do it yeah. Buying gold does not recommend for guys who are active in the crypto revolution. I think it does look is good to have is good to have a bit of gold yeah is good. It’s good to have like I’m just saying that I’m not really there yet but I will be probably. Will. But you don’t get gold fever for a bitcoin look. Another thing is that I don’t think it’s a good idea to store your gold at home. Like why would you why. Why. It’s it’s Yeah. You gotta solve some kind of custody. You can store small amounts but larger. It won’t work. Yeah. Let’s see. But you don’t get gold. Oh yeah. Exactly. Lots of eyes are watching open source codes. If there is any exploit. Yeah. That’s a big thing. Absolutely. That’s why open source is so compelling compelling. Let’s see how you sure you don’t end up. With tungsten. It’s called tungsten. You know that. It’s like heavy stone in Swedish. Some some information for you because when I was studying chemistry by the way I was fine so I went to this English school called IAB or look actually in. Let me see let me see. So in Swedish it’s actually evolved from nowadays. Previously it was called this tombstone. Now it’s interesting so from is. Is is this thanks to steam. Yeah. OK. Very interesting. But this is anyway. This battle was invented baseball did not invent it was discovered by SP. Anyway the name is Swedish. I don’t really know how it got there but probably something has to do. Too late to get gold. The premiums are crazy high. Yes physical gold absolute physical gold. Absolutely. Whenever a ship was talking bad about bitcoin with pump did he come out recently actually he pumped bitcoin. He said there’s going to appreciate in the recession a D. I’m planning to move to Stockholm for work this summer. Hope I can visit that chasm woman. Yeah you should go. Yes you should go to Stockholm in the summer. Stockholm is insanely beautiful in the summer. Yes it’s insane. It’s insane because there’s like a lot of water a lot of islands and it’s green. Yeah I love Stockholm in the summer. Not all cities are prettier in the summer but in Stockholm you have this ratio between winter and summer. That is just insane. Like it’s a thousand times more beautiful in summer than in the winter in normal cities or like maybe like five times more beautiful in summer but definitely a go here in summer. Is there a way to physically preserve bitcoin transaction history in the event of ENP event. Well there are many Romanian notes there is a satellite. There will not be an MP event. Nuking everything so you will obviously have your history and this is verifiable is verifiable because you have all proof of work there. So absolutely. Four billion and other that goes down. Imagine if that goes down. I know. Yes. Is big is BIG Ivan. Imagine your ass astronaut. And then one week you are sent to outer space mission for 20 years. You travel nearly at the speed of light so you will be one day older when you get back. Not really sure how you mean. You will only be one day older you mean that the time is going differently when you are travelling at speed of light. Yes I have heard that that the when you are newly at the speed of light the time kind of stops for you. But I need to refresh exactly how that works for this task. You get million dollars today. What would you have. What would you do with a million dollars. I would buy real assets. Look I would buy Bitcoin. Absolutely but also I would buy real estate especially with crashes in the nearest time because I have this feeling that the real estate is next. Guys we’ve seen stock market minus 30 percent. I feel that real estate across the world is next. Why why why is it so. Well people are losing their jobs as so many companies are firing right now in Sweden they’re not really firing because the government steps in and pay salaries up to 92 percent. Ninety two point five and the people only have to work 40 percent of the time. So the employer is paying approximately 50 percent of the salary and he gets 40 percent of labor time. So it’s worse for an employee than before but then the state pays the rest 42 percent. So the worker only works 40 percent but gets paid 92 percent of his salary. That will not continue forever. Look that will end in. I don’t know how many months in Sweden. Not not not many months because obviously the government they will go broke in a second if this continues for longer. So obviously will see a tragic situation if this Corona thing doesn’t disappear quickly because people will obviously lose their job. Absolutely. And they will lose their income which is extremely tragic. I mean that is what I hope we can avoid. We need to avoid that as much as possible. But obviously is going to be difficult to pay mortgage and you will have to sell if you cannot pay it. So that is why I think there might be good opportunities. And look at when you sell out when stock market goes to all time high all the time because of hyperinflation. You want to be there. You want to be there. So I wouldn’t discount stocks altogether because they are real asset in the sense that they give you cash flow all the time. I mean they are producing income they’re producing youth a constant monthly income dividends. The issue with them is obviously that they’ve been hyper inflated so much you don’t win an end P E ratios are insane. There’s a lot of insanity there. The same with real estate by the same with real estate now that they’re kind of coming back to where they should be. I think the last thing you will want to have is dollar at the end of the day because that will be hyper inflate. So whether it’s real estate Bitcoin gold stock like something that is that is more real. Yeah but because I think is the best solution in terms of risk reward risk reward is best in bitcoin no question about that. Think of everyone credit ratings that are going to be destroyed. Exactly. Yes but the free market will also just because your credit rating is only relative to other crazy ratings. So if everyone’s credit rating is destroyed banks will still want to lend out money so they will give it to guys with the best one but not maybe the best one. Like it was hit a year ago or two years ago. So it’s a free market. There are the credit market. The value of the dividends are taken from the stock value not worth to buy stocks for dividends crippling. Not really sure if like the value of the. You mean that they are already in the price of the stock. Maybe that’s what you mean. And it is true. Like you got to look at the PE ratio some stocks they have dividends that are so small compared to the share price that it’s not even worth it. But as soon as you can as long as you can get 5 10 percent it is good like it’s good. But yes the situation is good news to come down now. Why. Look this is interesting to be honest with you I haven’t even gone to high of a lot let me actually check how my page looks because it is the fourth Summit. I didn’t even look at it but now I see you guys writing to me the link. Let me see it because I have I have seen it. Do I have this thing as well and how does it look like or is that it does. Oh yeah interesting. Very interesting. Yeah. I just don’t know where the hell the keys to decide. To be honest with you like I did the noob mistake of maybe losing my Smith gear and that’s the thing because you can see I haven’t been active in two years. But yes. OK. So this is the new steam it is called Hi blog. Very interesting. Very interesting. So are these like amounts in hive now or what is it worth so much because they just worked. That’s actually good. If it’s worth so much let’s see how it compares to stimulus in terms of the funds. Man I should like free money. What woman. Why am I not doing this more. I should get used to posting there as well because look why would I say so. OK. So let’s see this reversing it has 170 eight here on Steam it and then hive which is the fork. 70. Man. It cannot be like that. There are some issue here because why is it exactly the same. Because the currencies now are different. I will have to do a bit more digging into it because the numbers are exactly the same. But maybe the numbers are not absolute. All. Yes. And why is it’s not even the latest. Because here I have yours and there I don’t. I aim out or. Oh wait wait wait. Yeah. This is the old thumbnail. And then we remove the thumbnails because. Yeah we had issues with YouTube. So this is kind of the new update that I get. Anyway I’m gonna do some research is a dollar. Yeah but it was the hive address. Why one to only the new post get new. Okay got it. I hope you haven’t been on steam for like two years and you together back but are people still using it. That’s like the big big thing. Are people still using it. Well ideally I will create the is there isn’t there like a bot that can just put it automatically because I don’t want to click every day on upload. I just want to write the bot. Maybe we’ll do that. Everyone uses high of its 4th like BCI. Oh yeah. Now tell me IMF as they are. What do you want to know about that. Andrew. Do you have 200 a tooth. Yeah I should. I should pick it pick it out. But I don’t know if is that even if it’s worth that much because I understand that all of these amounts are from the bull markets. And I didn’t really attach them so I don’t know whether like people are saying it is the amount there is created at the time of posting or something. Yes. Can you talk a bit about saga with Saga saga saga is the one is the is the stable coin is a stable coin with different currencies. I think we covered that because remember we cover that to be honest. I looked it up because people were asking about stable coins but to my understanding it is the currency with different the backing side of stable coin. She should be that one. Worldwide the money. Exactly exactly exactly. So this one is back like by different stuff. It’s not only bagged by one. This is a basket of currencies. So let’s see. Let’s see how big they become. The good thing is that we have a lot of different stable coins that’s important because when you are trading you don’t want to be switching into real Fiat you want to have stable coins so that when you think that the price has gone down and you’re crazy and you don’t want to short you just want to get out of the market go into stable coins currency that’s how people do it. But now you basically have tether you have you as the CEO of a few others. So it’s good that you can be in it even more so you can diversify and diversification is important. Why is it. Because many people did just use one exchange like buy it and buy it. Is amazing. But there’s also fed mix that is very similar and they have a slightly bigger bonus. So buy it is still our number one choice but check out the mix as well. And if you’re using one of them get the other because you want to diversify and they are very very good both of them. So you can find the links below and you get bonuses for both. If you use the linked links below we’re entering the Great Depression on steroids could be good because it could be. Absolutely. Ivan what do you think about bitcoin in your wallet. How do you know that big and in your wallet are not. Oh that’s a good question. That’s a good question. Well you know it. Because you yourself can verify it. You yourself can verify it. You can run your a.. You can connect to the network yourself. You can get the block chain. Mathematically you can verify that that block chain has been mined with a lot of electricity. So that is actually baked into the blocks and that’s the most fascinating thing by just analyzing the blocks in you see how much electricity was put to mind the different blocks. So you see basically the difficulty for each block. So when you get the block chain you can say OK the last block was 10 minutes ago I can verify mathematically that a lot of energy was put into each block then to be sure you also double check with all other nodes so you get the same block shame. So I have everyone gives you the same answer. What the real block chain is and you basically keep asking until you are certain that that is the real block shame that you got from all of the nodes and you can verify yourself and then you see at the end of the block chain what is the amount in my address in my in in my UTF source. Because really you have a bunch of your texts and your wallet shows your balance which is just a sum of all your utensils and that is how we can verify. But the most important thing is that you can verify how much electricity has been put into the block chain. You can verify for ourselves that hey the only way to produce this data that they have in front of me which is this block shown is to spend a lot of electricity. I know it sounds crazy but that is how it works. That is how proof of work and hashing functions work and you see the difficulty in each of the. Of the blocks so you can for yourself know for sure 100 percent certainty that for this blocks to be produced somebody spent the tens of thousands of dollars. And that is what gives you the verification that the that the blocking is real and that is the main bitcoin blocks. Yes. That is how that is. If the world moves to another fiat currency other than us. What do you think it will be. You. Yeah I mean maybe you can but it would really be a shame if it was you. I don’t really I don’t think it’s going to be one. Why. Because not many people are trusting them will raise it like it’s not a lot. Just look at the current crisis with with the illness. People are speculating all the time that the numbers coming out from China are fake this and that. And who would really trust just that currency at the end of the day. I think it’s highly highly quite questionable. Another thing that is important is that it’s not really how they do business. You know that you and you cannot really transfer it out of the country. Now there is offshore. There is an offshore version. But if they become the world’s reserve currency. Now you know it will not really work together with the way they’re trying to close down their situation there. So I don’t think it’s going to be China. To be honest I don’t think so. I think it’s going to be either some kind of gold the currency again because you will have to reset maybe is going to be gold I hope. And I think there is a chance and non zero chance that it will be OK Bitcoin in some way in some way may be Bitcoin backed in some way. Now statistically statistically I think a gold version is more probable because they justify that. Gold is gold. I mean everyone knows that. And because at the same time people in power can still stay in power. So obviously they will prefer to have some kind of gold standard again because then they can redo the scam yet again. So statistically it might be gold but there is a non-zero chance that it will be Bitcoin. And the risk reward of that is is huge. It’s huge. And even if it’s not the reserve currency is it still going to be big because that is the only digital value you have that is that you’re certain of. So yeah. Is it’s gold it is gold bitcoin will die says safeguards in the moose. Really really really safe. I didn’t hear that situation safe so I so spontaneously I don’t really agree but I should interview safe and arms because that theory is interesting. People who want because look if a gold standard is basically the reason why I don’t agree with that statement that there was gonna be gold then bitcoin will die is because a gold standard changes nothing. It’s basically the same scam or all over again because they’re gonna remove the backing. Again just the question of time. So with a gold standard nothing really has changed. It’s just that it sounds it sounds better and it will be gold for a few years then they’re they to remove the banking yet again. It’s simple the gold is the defeat currently that system is the biggest the biggest reason why we have fiat right now. I mean sorry the fiat system is the biggest example of why gold has failed so gold is the biggest reason why Fiat. Yep. Switzerland is the best choice. Maybe Switzerland the franc let’s see how they perform against dollar because they are performing quite good good compared to other currencies. So that’s true. That’s true. Let’s see. So yeah I mean they’re not. It’s nothing drastic that we’re seeing that not nothing and nothing drastic that we’re seeing are actually left me doing a stunt it to C H F yeah I mean it’s even gone down since since March. But if you look at five year I mean yeah it’s quite stable quite stable and over time over time. It’s actually strengthening. So there you go guys. There we go guys. Now look at this disaster is it still a disaster actually. They have recovered so Norway man. Absolute disaster. What is this. It’s insane Norwegian people have lost they went from I mean at the beginning of 2019 it was eight point seven at the peak which we saw just. Here it was twelve almost man it’s from eight point seven to twelve almost. Can you imagine now. We’re not. We’re not too much better look but a bit more stable but still not very good. Swedish Crown the krona and not from good. What I’m surprised though this is these guys Denmark. What the hell. Performing quite well against the dollar. So yeah Norway. Not really good. I mean Norway is the worst. To be honest with you there at absolute worst. What is this. Sweden also bad a bit better a bit better and Denmark wins this race of not devaluing check it. Okay let me check. I will check. I know you have many more vision guys. You have oil you have oil so don’t don’t get mad. You have oil. So Yemen. Oh yeah. Would strengthen you. Look at this. Look at this. The the this. We should. So yeah. We should go to Norway. It’s a bit cheaper there now. Yeah. Anyway. Anyway I guess that’s actually I don’t know why why Norway is losing so much to be honest. Why are everyone dumping not Norway. I don’t know. But yeah the oil price of course. The oil price. Yeah exactly. Exactly. Yes guys. You’re completely correct. You’re completely. That is why the chatter so amazing. You guys are solving. Yeah of course. Oil. Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes of course yes. OK. Thank you so much. Yet again see you are contributing all to the streams. So that’s amazing. That’s amazing. Thank you so much for being here yet. So maybe does the collapse of Norway Sweden has been dreaming about for such a long time. I’m joking but it is true. Look it is true because in Sweden we have industry like it’s not even Swedish fully owned but you get the point like Volvo scan the electoral looks like there are so many things Spotify like there are a lot of industrial things coming out of Europe. Norway it’s mainly oil mainly oil Yeah. So we’ll see we’ll see. I’m obviously just joking. A seal tomorrow at 8 a.m. Central European Time summertime centripetal summertime big sovereign fund. I mean the good thing with Norway that is amazing is that actually people get the wealth of the country that is not the case in Russia for example. Like people don’t get the wealth of that there is no sovereign fund there. There is no. So that is what. And you know my relatives are from there. And yes that is kind of the thing you always the unfortunate people go go around saying that Russia is so rich in terms of resources but people are always so poor and yes it’s the structure the whole structure is bad. So that’s the biggest thing that Norway has done by the way. That is that fund and that it’s not going to disappear into the you know into the government officials pocket like unfortunately it doesn’t many other countries so say do so much very much for being here. I’ll see you all tomorrow 8:00 a.m. Central happy on summertime and have a good day. Enjoy your day. Check out baby check out fan mix. Great them great things in the description. Only if you’re experience and see old tomorrow. Have a good day and goodbye Yes. Goodbye goodbye goodbye.

DOLLAR COLLAPSING 2020!?! BUY BITCOIN, Who funds development – Programmer explains

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

And we’re alive. Yes. Welcome to another episode of Good Morning Krypton here on an island on take we are of course broadcasting live straight out of Stockholm Sweden. And we do this show each and every day at 8:00 a.m. Central happy and summertime. Guys I’m coming to you like an atomic clock. Each and every day please be aware we switch to summertime see if your countries did not wish to summertime all streams are one hour earlier. Look we’re going to discuss the dollar because it’s not doing good guys at the end of the day it’s not doing good. And we’re going to go through some other world reserve currencies we’ve seen in the past and you will soon see that the time was limited for each world reserve currency and circumstances change very very very quickly. First and foremost if you look at the past century at the beginning of the past century you had the British pound completely dominating completely dominating the world. And you see how quickly British pound lost lost his position as number one and how dollar emerged very quickly because of certain circumstances in the world. And the same is happening right now. I do think that we’re witnessing a bolstered dollar world in the nearest future may be within maybe within menu of you who are watching lifetimes and maybe within even sooner than we think even within a timeframe that is even sooner sooner than many people think because this is what happened to the British pound nobody would have really imagined that it would disappear so quickly as no one. So that’s very important. Yes. And you understand that bitcoin is so key when we’re talking about this. This is the most important contest in terms of having a world where currency and where the state are two different things. Just like we discussed yesterday how religion sooner or later decoupled from the state in most countries religion and the state are two different things. Nowadays in most countries. The same is going to happen with currency with money. And we understand that money and currency are two different things here this currency. Bitcoin is money gold is money. So that’s going to be a big topic. Now we’re also going to discuss who funds Bitcoin. This is a big debate. This is a big question I always get. Who is funding these developers who are working on Bitcoin because it is open source. Nobody really gets paid from anyone. If you think about how open source works but obviously you do have companies sponsoring developers and in this episode we’re going to which companies sponsor which developers who develop bitcoin and how this whole industry really works. Because when you just learn about open source it might sound to that people are just racing without getting paid. Some of them are. Some of them are writing because they want respect. I mean to be honest with you when you look at what drives developers a lot of it is respect just the fact that you are contributing to Bitcoin. But then there are other things as well. That being said yes welcome everyone who is watching this live. Amazing to see all of you on. I don’t think that com slash life if you are watching this on YouTube. This is just a recording so you should go to. I went do that com slash live and subscribe over there right now. As soon as possible. That is the only way to see us live each and every day. And if you are here already. Be sure to check subscribe here. Be sure to check in there Bill web alerts. Be sure to check notifications. And obviously we have dark mode as always as always so be sure to do it straight away. Now I do see Matic I do see your leg crippled Yoda. Watch Dog Moss David Johnson five young guys hurry guys. George group the huddle free steak Edmond Slobodan Zoid some guys I see a lot a lot of use here. It’s so amazing. Let me know right now straight away. Where are you tuning in from this fine and fantastic Monday morning thing got this Monday. The world is coming back to work back to life. At least to the extent we’re capable to right now with the current currency situation and as always let me know what you’re drinking while London and Norway. Tunisian from the moon. That’s nice. That’s nice. OK let’s first of all cover some recent news and that is the fact that during the night we fell below 6k. And really many people were freaking out because we basically went to five point eight 8-K in bitcoin at one point eight U.S. dollars for one Bitcoin. The good thing is that we have completely completely recovered that loss very quickly. So we understand that basically now instead of seeing weakness we do see strength because when you look at the daily candle we have already recovered this loss from yesterday that was quite significant man. We went almost to five point eight but now we have completely recovered that. So it’s looking quite good because the fact that we’re able to hold it and maybe if we wouldn’t even if we can try to run for six point nine that would show strength in this market as we’re able to hold six game. That’s very very important. Now looking on the top 10 crypto currencies today as of this moment we have bitcoin minus zero point zero five percent. And that’s quite good to be honest because just a few hours ago as I told you it didn’t look good at all. It wouldn’t look good at all at least in this short short term Webb is at minus zero point sixteen quite stable overall. Overall looking at the top gainers we have energy start to squint and look at the top losers EDC. Guys I told you Look EDC it’s it’s some kind of Fisher thing going on here. I see it every day I stop the pumper with extremely low volume over seven days it’s still 500 percent. But please please be careful you will not be able to get out of this market with this low volume as C minus 13. Well still they have an issue obviously with hive because Sim has been more or less hijacked by Tron and Justin sun so steam is not really the steam that used to be steam is not really the steam it used to be in terms of community first and foremost because community is now in hive at least those guys who revolted against the takeover from from Tron. Well it turned out minus 12. And all and all quite good quite good markets quite fantastic time to be alive again. That’s the most important thing. And please keep in mind that we do have our collaboration with by bit. You use the link below you can get some ninety dollars to get started you can go long you can go short you can use leverage up to 100 dates and recently we’ve also onboard that fem mix as our collaboration as well. So you can do the same thing here and really they are quite similar by bit unfair mix but it’s very important to diversify. So if you have if you are already trading on one of them get the other and you can find the link below. They have great bonuses both of them. So definitely check them both out and if you have too much money on one of them just go to the other end diversify but please only use this if you are a professional trader because obviously trading with leverage is dangerous and you should not do it if you’re just starting out. Now before we get into the post the dollar world I want to remind you guys that we’ve had a situation with V a hash rate. We’ve had the situation with the fact that miners were basically going out of business and they struggled. So the most important thing to look at right now is that we did see a difficult adjustment happen and we saw difficult to adjust downwards right here on the 5th the 25th of March and the difficult difficulty you see this huge number this is how difficult it is to mine to mine the block and that really difficult to number one tell you a lot if you don’t size how proof of work works. You can go check out the middle time to the dot com a cardinal down to the com to check out our archives more with teach you all about that how difficult to works. But on the high level this is basically how difficult it is to mine and if the block time if the blocked them is higher than 10 minutes then the difficulty gets adjusted downward. Because we always want to have at 10 min at the block time and as you can see we did see this spike in in block interval and that’s where we had to correct. That’s what we had to correct on this one is in the minutes it seems like so as you can see when we spiked right here to nine hundred thirty five minutes we had to adjust the difficult to downwards because you know that we should average 600 or so seconds seconds second seconds not minutes seconds of course seconds because we should average 600 seconds which is 10 minutes. But here we had the 900. So yeah that’s why we did a fall in difficulty. And as you can see when the difficulty fell the revenue shot up instantly right here. So here’s where difficulty fell. And the same day revenue shot up. So this is how the network balances itself. Yeah exactly. Well I get seconds and seconds I see that and the same thing is obviously seen in all kinds of other proof of work chains proof of work chains. So it’s not only Bitcoin whenever you have proof of work chain this is how is going to be. And if you want to get these stats you can just go to Best Script of deals and you can get like a link to get free access to this. It’s completely free access and what’s good is now that they have this dashboard that I like. Last note for example you can get a dashboard with all kinds of on or on chain indicators and all and all the network is now stable. We’ve seen this hash rate drop. And especially seen if you look at the past a year that we’ve seen this speed peak and then in March we’ve been going down. But you understand that all in all when the halving happens usually usually the hash rate is not severely affected even though the reward is cut in half. But we had to adjust the difficulty quite significantly as you can see here and this is what I just discussed with you. But a bit more zoomed out version that this difficulty needs to be adjusted because some miners had to shut down the machines. So that’s the situation with mining. I know I know many people of you asked it and that’s why so important to clarify exactly what’s going on now in terms of the world situation. We have more and more action now being taken by the U.S. and this is very key to understand if you witnessing what’s going on in the world and you’re tracking it. So number one we have Trump changing his position a bit because he was a bit more relaxed up until right now and now he sees the real seriousness in the situation with Corona and then what we’re witnessing now is basically him saying that you need to be doing social distancing for longer for longer to the citizens. He is saying that yesterday we discussed that we may see a quarantine in New York and some other big cities New York New Jersey Connecticut I think as well. And now he is basically saying that look at the end of the day we need to stay alert and that we can not to reverse drastic measures that are in place by Easter like he said previously. Instead now he’s changing his mind a bit and saying that hey maybe it’s going to be until the end of April and therefore the economy is going to obviously take a hit. But that’s important in this period like more and more people are now coming to consensus. It’s important to stop the spread number one and then you can return to the economy. Otherwise nothing’s going to work out nothing nothing in the world is going to work. If the virus keeps growing. So the most important priority and more and more people are coming to consensus now is that we need to contain it by doing even more social distancing. But that is of course putting a lot of pressure on the dollar and that is of course something that we’ve got to discuss because they’re going to stimulate they’re going to stimulate there have already been stimulating by trillions. And it’s only the beginning. Slobodan says anyone seen Roger versed with the Koran. I’ve seen it. Yeah. He’s basically saying that it’s it’s all good. No need to worry a lot. Or a driver said on Twitter approximately something like that. But look at the end of the day. More and more people are coming to consensus that it is serious is extremely serious. And look my mom works in India in one of the biggest hospitals hearings in Sweden my mother and the E. It’s not a joke. Yes. It’s absolutely not a joke. This thing and especially now that we’re witnessing even young people pass away so we did see a 16 year old in France at the hospital where my mother works where the 13 year old also passing passing away. So it is. Yeah. It’s not only old people. Absolutely not. And now we’re seeing this seriousness even reached Trump and other and other people in high places so to speak who have been downplaying it is like Boris Johnson who also downplayed it in the beginning but then got infected himself. Because he shook hands in all hospitals with all Corona patients like you like you said previously I don’t know if you’ve seen it but it’s it’s something that we can really really not ignore right now what’s going on in the world. But the notion that this puts a pressure on the dollar and the circumstances really really really threaten the door’s position just like the first world war put the pressure on the pound as you will see this circumstances that we have in the world this black swan events are truly changing big things in ways nobody can predict. So one of the reasons why everyone right now is paying to bail out American companies the whole world is speaking not only the U.S. that’s important is because everyone has the U.S. dollar as their reserve currency. So a lot of people across the world a lot of banks hold the U.S. dollar in reserve. That’s just how it works. So as John Connolly junior Richard Nixon’s Treasury Secretary put in 1971. So this is actually from Nixon’s Treasury Secretary. The dollar is America’s currency but the world’s problem but the world’s problem. Why is it so. Well because when the Fed goes bananas when the Fed goes wild and they’re printing they’re having their printer go but you understand that it’s not only the U.S. that pays. Everyone pays because the U.S. dollar is the reserve currency. So hundreds of billions of dollars were injected into U.S. businesses to counter the effects of Corona. If the money came from taxation then the Americans are paying from their pocket but it’s not from taxation. But if it comes from the Federal Reserve then all nations are paying. So this is very important and obviously this undermines trust in the system because if you’re sitting there in whatever country and you have struggles of your own obviously everyone has struggles but then you have this unfair skew in the economical system that when we print money for example your central bank if you’re not living in the U.S. If you print money then it’s basically only your nation that is getting poorer it’s the citizens in your nation that they’re getting poorer because they hold the currency while when the U.S. prints money then everyone in the world loses wealth because everyone has their workers. And obviously this can continue for a while. If anyone in you maybe for a few decades which it has been now going on for a few decades and many people have been discussing this unfairness and really how the world really works. Cosmo DeLuca says yes we export inflation. That’s that’s true. And then at the end of the day something happens so severe that we reach a breaking point where nobody wants to continue anymore. Why is it so. Because we’ve seen that in the past as well. Look at how the U.S. dollar became the world’s reserve currency. Well it became world’s reserve currency when people basically lost all trust in the British pound and this had to do with the first world war. First and foremost but then with the second world war. So first thing we have to understand is that we had the gold standard and the many countries had the gold standard that they had to abandon in 1914 when the World War One really really started to show up on the horizon and they had to pay for military expenses. That is why central banking allows for a lot of conflicts because the governments can just fund their expenses their war expenses through inflation that would never be possible if everyone just use bitcoin or gold or something else. Now gold is not very practical but with bitcoin this would never be possible. So really when we’re talking about the new monetary paradigm we’re talking about a new paradigm where if you are a government you really need to be thinking carefully about going to what really really really carefully because you cannot just print new currency. That is how it will be in the future. Right now it’s obviously not like that still. Governments can print and go to war and do whatever they want really. But so three years into the war Britain which was the world’s reserve currency they still had the gold standard. They still maintain that because they wanted to still have a bit of trust. They wanted to keep their position as world reserve currency. Now this did not work. They had to borrow for the first time. And they understand that either you print for currency or you borrow or you take money from taxes you do something. So they tried to borrow to pay for their expenses. Never really worked out. So in not in 1919 they had finally abandoned the gold standard. They were forced which decimated the bank accounts of international merchants who traded in pounds. So look if you are in 1919 you have a lot of pounds and then Britain just abandons the gold standard because they have to pay for war then you are losing out because by having pounds you’re trusting Britain the same right now if you’re having dollars you’re trusting and all the world has dollars. So United States became the lender of choice for many countries that were willing to buy dollar denominated U.S. bonds. So this is where it really starts to shift. And right now we’re seeing a similar thing in the US as well. It isn’t a very difficult position just like Britain was in very difficult position during the First World War. And you know that any World War we’ve seen in the past decade we’ve had to. It was so devastating and it wasn’t really clear who’s going to win. Up until the end it wasn’t an easy task for anyone especially the First World War we had years of this trench wars and nobody really could move their positions. It was very long very difficult situation. And basically it cost Britain the world’s reserve currency. It cost Britain a lot. Absolutely a lot. So right now with everything that is going on the fact that the Fed just has to go better like crazy money printing gold say bananas. This is happening even more right now because the US is now understanding how severe it is and U.S. is growing exponentially more than anyone right now when it comes to infection. So we’re witnessing something that is unavoidable. You have to close down the country basically. But the way they’re supporting the markets the way they are debasing their currency is like we’ve never seen before. And just like in 1919 people are now questioning whether this will continue. And we’re seeing another potential paradigm shift. And so Britain has finally been forced to leave the gold standard. And by then the dollar had replaced the pound as world leading reserve. So it wasn’t really officially the world’s reserve currency but just by market mechanics it was the fact that more and more people had that had the dollar. But then during the Second World War the real thing happen because then the U.S. also got all the gold in the world basically and most of the gold in the world. Why is it so. Well because they didn’t enter at work. Look this is where you are smart. This is where USA as a country can make good decisions. If you don’t go to war and I mean it seems like the US completely shifted their strategy in the past century. Look at how great it worked out when you are on the sidelines and you’re just exporting stuff to people who actually want to fight. And that is what happened. The second World World War and the US could export supplies food medicine different kinds of commerce different kinds of metals commodities to Europe. And they ended up with the biggest gold reserve in the world. Thanks to that thanks to that. So look this is so significant when you are more peaceful and you trade in your thinking with more long term and you are constrained by sound money. This society develops way better. This is something we’ve seen. And look look at just how this has changed in the past time. So collecting much of the payments in gold by the end of the war the United States owned the vast majority of the world’s gold. This is unprecedented. This precluded a return to gold standard. And basically because the US had already older gold a dollar became the standard. And since then we’ve been living on this world reserve currency. Now the situation really changed when Nixon removed any connection to gold and that’s basically where we are right now. And as you can see we’ve now had 50 years of this world reserve dollar of fiat basically this is not the money it used to be because dollar was gold in the past it was backed. Now not anymore. And now it’s mainly based on trust. And as you can see it never lasts forever. I’ve shown you this picture in the past. Portugal was the world’s reserve currency Spain Netherlands France Britain and now we have the US. And question is how long will it continue for. Because the more people understand sound money because the more people understand how to use crypto because more people understand that this is not sustainable. And why in the world should they be forced to speculate with my money. Why can I just have my money. This is the most annoying thing that when you get paid your forest you’re absolutely forced to give it to Wall Street. What will you do otherwise. Most people do not have the funds to buy real estate to have like you know income producing rental properties. They cannot buy. They don’t want to hold their money either because then they are being robbed each and every year by inflation. So the only way they can protect themselves from that is going to shit. Now here you have to be like it because if you bought just a few months ago you have lost 30 percent. So look just by going there you have to be like you and obviously Wall Street will rip you off and all of the financial advisors. I mean their whole idea is to of course extract as much value as possible from their clients. Now in addition to that most people in the world do not have access to brokerages like you and I have. So most people in the world don’t even have the option to protect themselves from inflation. So this this whole situation really really has to change and that we’ve been discussing yesterday how knowledge how science really removed the church from government because people became smarter and more educated they start to understand that the universe is not the way the church has been telling us. It is actually based on other concepts and we can now calculate the stars we can see all of this and you understand that people started to believe other things it was easier to say it you see how the narrative pushed by the church to be empowered doesn’t hold in the same right now as happening to the central banking system to this Keynesian Keynesian paradigm. The more people educate the more their stock starts to see Wait wait wait what. Just because something is called a quantitative easing doesn’t mean that more normal people cannot understand that you’re just printing money. Why is it called quantitative easing and not money printing. So that sounds smart because when you hear a money printing you think about Zimbabwe. When you hear quantitative easing you think about some kind of smart people in suits making smart decisions about the economy. But now people are starting to realize that is not how it works. And this whole system is by design by design complicated so that people don’t ask questions. So it can continue to exist just like you see a lot of discussion right now happening with quantitative easing. It wasn’t happening 10 years ago in 2006 and 2007 quantitative easing didn’t have this very bad bad cling to it. But now most people most people who are at least a bit into economy understand that quantitative easing is printing money. So there we’ve done a tremendous education tremendous education and it’s still happening. And that is the best thing with bitcoin believe it or not the best thing with Bitcoin is not bitcoin it is the education that Bitcoin gives to people that people become interested they try to understand how it works that is the biggest thing guys. Man that was a big rant but it was an important rant. And obviously you understand that it’s only the beginning because nothing is out of the question for the Fed nothing at all. And they will continue going while to support the markets the less and the next thing on their agenda is to start buying stocks directly because nothing is out of the question now. This will require congressional approval and already they’re able to buy a corporate debt. And this is kind of kind of what to say. They have to be imaginative. They had to be imaginative how to be able to buy corporate debt because it’s not really clear that it is allowed in the Federal Reserve Act. But if you are creative that’s the word creative enough. You can make it so that it is. It is according to the law but is the question of are you reading what the law says or what the law intense. So this is the big thing. But buying corporate debt was OK for them. If you read what the law says but not what the law intense about buying stocks directly it’s not gonna be possible without congressional approval. And this is going to be a big test. What the U.S. is willing to risk because if they will start doing this even more trust is going to disappear in this system. And look you are risking your risking and you and you shift what is going to be bitcoin but there is going to be China. There is going to be something else. We don’t know. We don’t know. Probably is going to be bitcoin. Maybe it’s going to be some kind of gold thing. Gold the currency. Really. I hope it will be bitcoin but we’ll see. We’ll see. Yes. Let me know what you think in the chat or in the in the comments. They change the laws as circumstances warrant says Bernard Exactly exactly. But I think this will truly show the desperation of the situation because obviously nobody wants to lose their status as the world’s reserve currency because it puts you in a position where you can where you have more freedom to print without facing inflation because there’s so much inherent demand for your currency. And that is why right now we’re seeing deflation guys. And remember always deflation before hyperinflation Mike Malone you go watch hidden secrets of money. And so what’s happening right now is that a lot of demand right now is for the dollar because so much debt is dominated in the dollar. And many people are losing a lot of money in the markets there. That needs to be repaid. So they’re just dumping all assets they’re trying to get hold of the dollars to pay it back to pay their debts back. But at the end of the day people will be sitting there with their dollars that do not produce any income. There are no real assets there no asset that can actually give you a check every month. And most importantly it is not backed by anything. And most importantly it doesn’t even have the trust because they’re printing it by the trillions. Now Bitcoin also doesn’t give you a check like Warren Buffett said it doesn’t write you a check at the end of the month. And many people made fun of him. But look I understand what he means. He means that usually he likes to put capital in companies in real estate something that produces you something but in bitcoin you have digital scarcity that is the thing that is the thing is not about getting a check every month. Although it’s good to have also assets that give you a check every month whether it’s dividend stock or whether it’s a real estate. The issue with both stock market and Lucent is that it’s so manipulated and inflated and we don’t really know what anything is worth really. So the thing with bitcoin is that yes you don’t really have any backing except for limited supply except for a worldwide network of payments except for enormous liquidity and in itself that is extreme value. Just the basic properties of censorship resistance worldwide. Anyone can use it. It is very liquid. It’s 24/7 across countries across nations. And that in itself is the big thing. Look that is the real value and that’s why you have to get some bitcoin yes if you don’t have bitcoin yet you have to get it. You absolutely have to get it. OK. Yes. Moving on. Moving on what is happening in the jail guys. I recently saw gold silver silver at twelve weeks back or order and the 1000 minimum. Yeah. They’re running out they’re running out Zippy says defy dividend. Exactly. You can get dividends if you are using deep buy. Absolutely. And that is why you should check out our defy course if you haven’t yet in our academy. So to use union swap to synthetics to really use all of these applications and protocols we do have all explanations for you and it’s very easy to start and you do get faster results. That is a thing you can literally within a few hours already be quite efficient and proficient in the using unit swap device the X looping rather with Khyber cable and people are loving this course with just released it a few a few days ago. This guy is amazing Amadeo brands. He is working with maker Dow actually get educated by the people who have created all of this most of this because maker Dow is at the foundation of everything. And you get even the essentials insurance the essential synthetics the sensor as money markets and so on so for us to go check guys. I don’t think that’s come. If you haven’t yet if you haven’t yet. Now guys moving on today we’re talking about who funds Bitcoin development alum Ivan will I be able to enroll in D5 course using a basic plan. Unfortunately not not on basic but on premium a basic is only to get started and get to know decades I mean basically it’s kind of like a trial because at them they did the big things are happening in them in premium and basic plan in itself is big because you get so much content and knowledge but then imagine what the premium plan is because I’m telling you the basic is just kind of introduction but the basic is also just it is a huge just that just that is huge. But imagine the premium. It’s 100 times bigger. Look you gotta understand who funds bitcoin and how this system works because bitcoin is obviously open source. Anyone can contribute you and I can contribute. Anyone with a brain and programming skills and and the passion and understanding can contribute. So you have amazing research by bit makes being created who funds because most of the developers are basically independent. They’re not getting paid by anyone. They are incentivized because they want to be Bitcoin developers. Man if you go to any job interview and you say that you’re a bitcoin developer it’s respect and it actually gives you a lot of power. It gives you a lot of power in the industry that you can show on GitHub that you get got some committee into bitcoin. And look it’s not difficult to be honest with you. We saw for example Jimmy song that he just started with doing testing and if you know some basic testing can definitely get a few comments into bitcoin and then look they have compiled a list of different entities that fund the development. So you have block stream you have lighting labs square crypto and square. But I didn’t know that they were so big in comparison to Bloxham look square crypto is kind of like blocking them in size of funding a bit less but kind of you have M.I.T. DCI. So you do have University Association as well chain called Big when it comes to bitcoin. You have purse and purse. Is this what it’s called you get like free stuff for discounts did you lab async Bitcoin ex Bitcoin expire bigger as well and the bit makes OK so yeah I mean there are some companies that are funding this now. If you actually look at what’s going on in terms of bitcoin particular most of the developers are independent as you can see here it’s not that block stream funds everyone like a lot of misinformation is always spread that blocks from owns all Bitcoin developers guys. They don’t they don’t. Most of them are independent. The second place is actually chain code and then blocks Jim and then M.I.T. and then DG labs and then square crypto. So this is how it works. And then you understand that all in all they looked at the top 33 contributors by all time number of comets. And here is where. You see the different contributors. So eleven are independent. You see seven chain called blocks Bloxham only has three and believe it or not. Only three out of 33. So it’s like 10 percent or even less. So I guess that is how it works. And it is decentralized now. Why would somebody like for example chain called or block stream even put money into this. What is the idea kind of like why Microsoft is putting a lot of money into open source as well just like big corporations are putting a lot of money in open source because you understand that all software that is big right now is open source whether you’re talking about Linux all servers right now are basically Linux you do have a few still running Microsoft. I mean most of it is Linux is the biggest operating system in the world when it comes to when it comes to server infrastructure. Now most most phones are running Android also open source sense and that it’s so big. And Android is Linux under the hood now. And other thing is of course the fact that all tools for development are open source. Most of them most of the things used to program is open source at the world is open source. It’s. Thank God we are because it wasn’t a clear thing just 10 years ago. And I think Microsoft when they open source dot net platform that is when they truly capitulated and said All right now open source is is the way open source is the key. So more and more companies during the past 10 15 20 years have been adopting technology that is open source because their customers understand it because it’s easy to patch. You have the latest security updated you really get the smartest people working on your software so it doesn’t make sense for you if you’re a company to build your own stack. Why would you why would you. Now to this point the biggest producers of proprietary software if you look at the consumer electronics it’s gotta be Apple. I mean they are still not really open source and they have a long way to go to use open source technologies although in many ways they have also been using a lot of Unix based systems for quite some time if I use a Mac you know how easy it is to use for programming when use frigging windows. Way difficult although when Microsoft started to open source. Now you have a command line a Linux command line in them in windows as well on all windows nowadays. You do get Windows command line. So what am I what am I saying. Well look at the corporate world. Everyone is now doing open source that is the standard. And obviously you want to contribute because you want to show that you are the leader in the space you want to attract talent because talented developers they want to work on open source. They want to be part of open source and all of this projects. In many cases because they’re respected there’s big respect for open source in development community in other cases because they want to show that they have contributed they can not show if it is proprietary they contribute and it’s gone forever it’s not theirs. And obviously right now companies are fighting between each other to be the leaders of open source to kind of be the companies that work with all of these technologies that are open source because if you’re a customer you’re going to go to whoever is most credible because if you’re a customer and they want infrastructure I will go to guys who know how to run and maybe even developed it. So that’s why corporations are running in open source it’s clear now with bitcoin and with development here is the same thing. Obviously Bloxham is a port a for profit company. They want to attract their clients because they are part of the development as well. They have three developers on board chain go code probably the same. So it’s all about building this trust in the community and building this momentum and authority and the forest. And when people say hey Block’s stream is going to take over bit and get married they have three developers. Out of thirty three to hijack the development. It’s you know it’s not going to puzzle most of developers are independent. And that’s important. I think it’s still important that most developers are independent and that is the case right now. Right now yes. Finally before we go into the chat which is time check out. I think that comes large deals you can get all kinds of deals. You remember already by bid and femme ex you can find them also below cribs with com you get 50 dollars if you sign up and you get debit card you get like an app exchange they have a lot of things as all domains and glass not so glass note is basically you get access to this indicators for free when it comes to on chain and they have hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of them. It’s really like this the job they’ve done to develop this and create all of these indicators is amazing and it’s free if used the link in I was the com slash deals. So that being said guys let’s take a look in the chat. How are you guys doing. Glass node offer work. If I already have an account Yamaha it will work. Yes. If you have it or is an account you have access to it mostly. Yeah. Business is not trust us until the other question is answered. BTC has nothing to do with weather. How do you mean. In what way is it not trust us. If the other is involved the thing that is worrying is obviously whether the price is correct or not. Do you buy gold. Ivan how I mean to be honest I don’t have a physical and I should I should have physical. But for me as I discussed with Mike Maloney and also in the chat previously for me is the authenticity you like. How do I know that the gold is real. Especially you can buy a few coins now. Like if your clients and stuff that’s okay. But if you’re serious like if you’re gonna buy a big chunk How do you ensure. I don’t know how to insure it. I need to trust someone who can insure it. I need all I need to learn I need to learn how to insure it so that is why I mean yes I can buy like a few thousand dollars of gold just as a safety backup but it’s just. Yeah the thing is it’s trust it is trust me. I saw you guys writing that you can drill a hole in it and you can try to see what’s in the area. That’s why I think bitcoin will be number one because look I think that I’m representing the younger generation to a big extent. Although there is another generation that is even younger and they have all kinds of digital assets. But for me I don’t have the kind of the same appeal to gold. I don’t know like I want bitcoin to be the gold that that is worth because I can verify it and I can verify it anytime and I don’t know maybe it’s just me. Maybe other people in my age they they like gold more than bitcoin but just managed to have the right to have this golden rock I got. I get that it’s important but man Yeah I should get it. Bitcoin should be tethered to gold not you as that. Well you mean that the price we should compare price to gold. I can agree with you on that. Yes I can agree on you on that that we should measure the price in gold instead of dollars because your measurement scale is changing each and every day because it does get hyper inflated the dollar so is better to use while you guys were pumping. We are pumping both on families and the let’s see. I’m here using 30 minute. Yeah I mean looking at 30 minutes we are pumping we’re pumping so definitely keep that in mind. Yeah here it is. Good guys good good. Yes. And then you have to have the gold at all. I know crypto Yoda I know. And then you have to have this. This. Yeah. Gold coins are okay. Coinstar okay but also you’re paying a huge premium for coins. That’s that’s also thing. But I know my colleague the here phenol Philippi he has goo here he likes it he likes he likes it and he has been thinking about also he has the knowledge at least how to do it yeah. Buying gold does not recommend for guys who are active in the crypto revolution. I think it does look is good to have is good to have a bit of gold yeah is good. It’s good to have like I’m just saying that I’m not really there yet but I will be probably. Will. But you don’t get gold fever for a bitcoin look. Another thing is that I don’t think it’s a good idea to store your gold at home. Like why would you why. Why. It’s it’s Yeah. You gotta solve some kind of custody. You can store small amounts but larger. It won’t work. Yeah. Let’s see. But you don’t get gold. Oh yeah. Exactly. Lots of eyes are watching open source codes. If there is any exploit. Yeah. That’s a big thing. Absolutely. That’s why open source is so compelling compelling. Let’s see how you sure you don’t end up. With tungsten. It’s called tungsten. You know that. It’s like heavy stone in Swedish. Some some information for you because when I was studying chemistry by the way I was fine so I went to this English school called IAB or look actually in. Let me see let me see. So in Swedish it’s actually evolved from nowadays. Previously it was called this tombstone. Now it’s interesting so from is. Is is this thanks to steam. Yeah. OK. Very interesting. But this is anyway. This battle was invented baseball did not invent it was discovered by SP. Anyway the name is Swedish. I don’t really know how it got there but probably something has to do. Too late to get gold. The premiums are crazy high. Yes physical gold absolute physical gold. Absolutely. Whenever a ship was talking bad about bitcoin with pump did he come out recently actually he pumped bitcoin. He said there’s going to appreciate in the recession a D. I’m planning to move to Stockholm for work this summer. Hope I can visit that chasm woman. Yeah you should go. Yes you should go to Stockholm in the summer. Stockholm is insanely beautiful in the summer. Yes it’s insane. It’s insane because there’s like a lot of water a lot of islands and it’s green. Yeah I love Stockholm in the summer. Not all cities are prettier in the summer but in Stockholm you have this ratio between winter and summer. That is just insane. Like it’s a thousand times more beautiful in summer than in the winter in normal cities or like maybe like five times more beautiful in summer but definitely a go here in summer. Is there a way to physically preserve bitcoin transaction history in the event of ENP event. Well there are many Romanian notes there is a satellite. There will not be an MP event. Nuking everything so you will obviously have your history and this is verifiable is verifiable because you have all proof of work there. So absolutely. Four billion and other that goes down. Imagine if that goes down. I know. Yes. Is big is BIG Ivan. Imagine your ass astronaut. And then one week you are sent to outer space mission for 20 years. You travel nearly at the speed of light so you will be one day older when you get back. Not really sure how you mean. You will only be one day older you mean that the time is going differently when you are travelling at speed of light. Yes I have heard that that the when you are newly at the speed of light the time kind of stops for you. But I need to refresh exactly how that works for this task. You get million dollars today. What would you have. What would you do with a million dollars. I would buy real assets. Look I would buy Bitcoin. Absolutely but also I would buy real estate especially with crashes in the nearest time because I have this feeling that the real estate is next. Guys we’ve seen stock market minus 30 percent. I feel that real estate across the world is next. Why why why is it so. Well people are losing their jobs as so many companies are firing right now in Sweden they’re not really firing because the government steps in and pay salaries up to 92 percent. Ninety two point five and the people only have to work 40 percent of the time. So the employer is paying approximately 50 percent of the salary and he gets 40 percent of labor time. So it’s worse for an employee than before but then the state pays the rest 42 percent. So the worker only works 40 percent but gets paid 92 percent of his salary. That will not continue forever. Look that will end in. I don’t know how many months in Sweden. Not not not many months because obviously the government they will go broke in a second if this continues for longer. So obviously will see a tragic situation if this Corona thing doesn’t disappear quickly because people will obviously lose their job. Absolutely. And they will lose their income which is extremely tragic. I mean that is what I hope we can avoid. We need to avoid that as much as possible. But obviously is going to be difficult to pay mortgage and you will have to sell if you cannot pay it. So that is why I think there might be good opportunities. And look at when you sell out when stock market goes to all time high all the time because of hyperinflation. You want to be there. You want to be there. So I wouldn’t discount stocks altogether because they are real asset in the sense that they give you cash flow all the time. I mean they are producing income they’re producing youth a constant monthly income dividends. The issue with them is obviously that they’ve been hyper inflated so much you don’t win an end P E ratios are insane. There’s a lot of insanity there. The same with real estate by the same with real estate now that they’re kind of coming back to where they should be. I think the last thing you will want to have is dollar at the end of the day because that will be hyper inflate. So whether it’s real estate Bitcoin gold stock like something that is that is more real. Yeah but because I think is the best solution in terms of risk reward risk reward is best in bitcoin no question about that. Think of everyone credit ratings that are going to be destroyed. Exactly. Yes but the free market will also just because your credit rating is only relative to other crazy ratings. So if everyone’s credit rating is destroyed banks will still want to lend out money so they will give it to guys with the best one but not maybe the best one. Like it was hit a year ago or two years ago. So it’s a free market. There are the credit market. The value of the dividends are taken from the stock value not worth to buy stocks for dividends crippling. Not really sure if like the value of the. You mean that they are already in the price of the stock. Maybe that’s what you mean. And it is true. Like you got to look at the PE ratio some stocks they have dividends that are so small compared to the share price that it’s not even worth it. But as soon as you can as long as you can get 5 10 percent it is good like it’s good. But yes the situation is good news to come down now. Why. Look this is interesting to be honest with you I haven’t even gone to high of a lot let me actually check how my page looks because it is the fourth Summit. I didn’t even look at it but now I see you guys writing to me the link. Let me see it because I have I have seen it. Do I have this thing as well and how does it look like or is that it does. Oh yeah interesting. Very interesting. Yeah. I just don’t know where the hell the keys to decide. To be honest with you like I did the noob mistake of maybe losing my Smith gear and that’s the thing because you can see I haven’t been active in two years. But yes. OK. So this is the new steam it is called Hi blog. Very interesting. Very interesting. So are these like amounts in hive now or what is it worth so much because they just worked. That’s actually good. If it’s worth so much let’s see how it compares to stimulus in terms of the funds. Man I should like free money. What woman. Why am I not doing this more. I should get used to posting there as well because look why would I say so. OK. So let’s see this reversing it has 170 eight here on Steam it and then hive which is the fork. 70. Man. It cannot be like that. There are some issue here because why is it exactly the same. Because the currencies now are different. I will have to do a bit more digging into it because the numbers are exactly the same. But maybe the numbers are not absolute. All. Yes. And why is it’s not even the latest. Because here I have yours and there I don’t. I aim out or. Oh wait wait wait. Yeah. This is the old thumbnail. And then we remove the thumbnails because. Yeah we had issues with YouTube. So this is kind of the new update that I get. Anyway I’m gonna do some research is a dollar. Yeah but it was the hive address. Why one to only the new post get new. Okay got it. I hope you haven’t been on steam for like two years and you together back but are people still using it. That’s like the big big thing. Are people still using it. Well ideally I will create the is there isn’t there like a bot that can just put it automatically because I don’t want to click every day on upload. I just want to write the bot. Maybe we’ll do that. Everyone uses high of its 4th like BCI. Oh yeah. Now tell me IMF as they are. What do you want to know about that. Andrew. Do you have 200 a tooth. Yeah I should. I should pick it pick it out. But I don’t know if is that even if it’s worth that much because I understand that all of these amounts are from the bull markets. And I didn’t really attach them so I don’t know whether like people are saying it is the amount there is created at the time of posting or something. Yes. Can you talk a bit about saga with Saga saga saga is the one is the is the stable coin is a stable coin with different currencies. I think we covered that because remember we cover that to be honest. I looked it up because people were asking about stable coins but to my understanding it is the currency with different the backing side of stable coin. She should be that one. Worldwide the money. Exactly exactly exactly. So this one is back like by different stuff. It’s not only bagged by one. This is a basket of currencies. So let’s see. Let’s see how big they become. The good thing is that we have a lot of different stable coins that’s important because when you are trading you don’t want to be switching into real Fiat you want to have stable coins so that when you think that the price has gone down and you’re crazy and you don’t want to short you just want to get out of the market go into stable coins currency that’s how people do it. But now you basically have tether you have you as the CEO of a few others. So it’s good that you can be in it even more so you can diversify and diversification is important. Why is it. Because many people did just use one exchange like buy it and buy it. Is amazing. But there’s also fed mix that is very similar and they have a slightly bigger bonus. So buy it is still our number one choice but check out the mix as well. And if you’re using one of them get the other because you want to diversify and they are very very good both of them. So you can find the links below and you get bonuses for both. If you use the linked links below we’re entering the Great Depression on steroids could be good because it could be. Absolutely. Ivan what do you think about bitcoin in your wallet. How do you know that big and in your wallet are not. Oh that’s a good question. That’s a good question. Well you know it. Because you yourself can verify it. You yourself can verify it. You can run your a.. You can connect to the network yourself. You can get the block chain. Mathematically you can verify that that block chain has been mined with a lot of electricity. So that is actually baked into the blocks and that’s the most fascinating thing by just analyzing the blocks in you see how much electricity was put to mind the different blocks. So you see basically the difficulty for each block. So when you get the block chain you can say OK the last block was 10 minutes ago I can verify mathematically that a lot of energy was put into each block then to be sure you also double check with all other nodes so you get the same block shame. So I have everyone gives you the same answer. What the real block chain is and you basically keep asking until you are certain that that is the real block shame that you got from all of the nodes and you can verify yourself and then you see at the end of the block chain what is the amount in my address in my in in my UTF source. Because really you have a bunch of your texts and your wallet shows your balance which is just a sum of all your utensils and that is how we can verify. But the most important thing is that you can verify how much electricity has been put into the block chain. You can verify for ourselves that hey the only way to produce this data that they have in front of me which is this block shown is to spend a lot of electricity. I know it sounds crazy but that is how it works. That is how proof of work and hashing functions work and you see the difficulty in each of the. Of the blocks so you can for yourself know for sure 100 percent certainty that for this blocks to be produced somebody spent the tens of thousands of dollars. And that is what gives you the verification that the that the blocking is real and that is the main bitcoin blocks. Yes. That is how that is. If the world moves to another fiat currency other than us. What do you think it will be. You. Yeah I mean maybe you can but it would really be a shame if it was you. I don’t really I don’t think it’s going to be one. Why. Because not many people are trusting them will raise it like it’s not a lot. Just look at the current crisis with with the illness. People are speculating all the time that the numbers coming out from China are fake this and that. And who would really trust just that currency at the end of the day. I think it’s highly highly quite questionable. Another thing that is important is that it’s not really how they do business. You know that you and you cannot really transfer it out of the country. Now there is offshore. There is an offshore version. But if they become the world’s reserve currency. Now you know it will not really work together with the way they’re trying to close down their situation there. So I don’t think it’s going to be China. To be honest I don’t think so. I think it’s going to be either some kind of gold the currency again because you will have to reset maybe is going to be gold I hope. And I think there is a chance and non zero chance that it will be OK Bitcoin in some way in some way may be Bitcoin backed in some way. Now statistically statistically I think a gold version is more probable because they justify that. Gold is gold. I mean everyone knows that. And because at the same time people in power can still stay in power. So obviously they will prefer to have some kind of gold standard again because then they can redo the scam yet again. So statistically it might be gold but there is a non-zero chance that it will be Bitcoin. And the risk reward of that is is huge. It’s huge. And even if it’s not the reserve currency is it still going to be big because that is the only digital value you have that is that you’re certain of. So yeah. Is it’s gold it is gold bitcoin will die says safeguards in the moose. Really really really safe. I didn’t hear that situation safe so I so spontaneously I don’t really agree but I should interview safe and arms because that theory is interesting. People who want because look if a gold standard is basically the reason why I don’t agree with that statement that there was gonna be gold then bitcoin will die is because a gold standard changes nothing. It’s basically the same scam or all over again because they’re gonna remove the backing. Again just the question of time. So with a gold standard nothing really has changed. It’s just that it sounds it sounds better and it will be gold for a few years then they’re they to remove the banking yet again. It’s simple the gold is the defeat currently that system is the biggest the biggest reason why we have fiat right now. I mean sorry the fiat system is the biggest example of why gold has failed so gold is the biggest reason why Fiat. Yep. Switzerland is the best choice. Maybe Switzerland the franc let’s see how they perform against dollar because they are performing quite good good compared to other currencies. So that’s true. That’s true. Let’s see. So yeah I mean they’re not. It’s nothing drastic that we’re seeing that not nothing and nothing drastic that we’re seeing are actually left me doing a stunt it to C H F yeah I mean it’s even gone down since since March. But if you look at five year I mean yeah it’s quite stable quite stable and over time over time. It’s actually strengthening. So there you go guys. There we go guys. Now look at this disaster is it still a disaster actually. They have recovered so Norway man. Absolute disaster. What is this. It’s insane Norwegian people have lost they went from I mean at the beginning of 2019 it was eight point seven at the peak which we saw just. Here it was twelve almost man it’s from eight point seven to twelve almost. Can you imagine now. We’re not. We’re not too much better look but a bit more stable but still not very good. Swedish Crown the krona and not from good. What I’m surprised though this is these guys Denmark. What the hell. Performing quite well against the dollar. So yeah Norway. Not really good. I mean Norway is the worst. To be honest with you there at absolute worst. What is this. Sweden also bad a bit better a bit better and Denmark wins this race of not devaluing check it. Okay let me check. I will check. I know you have many more vision guys. You have oil you have oil so don’t don’t get mad. You have oil. So Yemen. Oh yeah. Would strengthen you. Look at this. Look at this. The the this. We should. So yeah. We should go to Norway. It’s a bit cheaper there now. Yeah. Anyway. Anyway I guess that’s actually I don’t know why why Norway is losing so much to be honest. Why are everyone dumping not Norway. I don’t know. But yeah the oil price of course. The oil price. Yeah exactly. Exactly. Yes guys. You’re completely correct. You’re completely. That is why the chatter so amazing. You guys are solving. Yeah of course. Oil. Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes of course yes. OK. Thank you so much. Yet again see you are contributing all to the streams. So that’s amazing. That’s amazing. Thank you so much for being here yet. So maybe does the collapse of Norway Sweden has been dreaming about for such a long time. I’m joking but it is true. Look it is true because in Sweden we have industry like it’s not even Swedish fully owned but you get the point like Volvo scan the electoral looks like there are so many things Spotify like there are a lot of industrial things coming out of Europe. Norway it’s mainly oil mainly oil Yeah. So we’ll see we’ll see. I’m obviously just joking. A seal tomorrow at 8 a.m. Central European Time summertime centripetal summertime big sovereign fund. I mean the good thing with Norway that is amazing is that actually people get the wealth of the country that is not the case in Russia for example. Like people don’t get the wealth of that there is no sovereign fund there. There is no. So that is what. And you know my relatives are from there. And yes that is kind of the thing you always the unfortunate people go go around saying that Russia is so rich in terms of resources but people are always so poor and yes it’s the structure the whole structure is bad. So that’s the biggest thing that Norway has done by the way. That is that fund and that it’s not going to disappear into the you know into the government officials pocket like unfortunately it doesn’t many other countries so say do so much very much for being here. I’ll see you all tomorrow 8:00 a.m. Central happy on summertime and have a good day. Enjoy your day. Check out baby check out fan mix. Great them great things in the description.

Jason and Sophie crane their necks to look at Elise, who holds a broken plastic fork between her fingers.

“Babe?” says Jason, reaching out to touch her face. He pushes her fallen, choppy hair behind her ear. “Are you okay?”

“I think she’s a little shocked,” Sophie says. We all look at her to see her smiling, pointing her intact fork across the table at Elise. She turns the utensil on herself and looks at Jason. “The reason that voice sounds so familiar is because it’s mine.”

Jason’s mouth falls open and he turns his attention to me. “I thought you said you two weren’t together—”

“Please,” says Sophie, wrapping her arm around mine. “We all know you don’t have to be with someone to, well, you know.”

“But you said…” Jason’s voice trails as he stares between Sophie and I, his eyebrows knitted, his mouth still hanging open.

“Come on, Jase,” Sophie sighs, exasperated. “It’s not like you went and told Abe the very moment you and Elise had sex.”

My eyes dart to Elise, who looks at Sophie with a resentful glare.

“That’s because we haven’t,” Jason says. I look at him. His entire face is red, and he looks only at his half-eaten dinner.

“Aw, Elise, I’ve never known you to hold out,” Sophie says sweetly.

“Some of us don’t drop our underwear the second a boy looks at us, Sophie,” Elise says.

“Yeah,” says Jason. “Some of us want to wait for the right moment.”

Now it’s my turn to look down, ashamed.

“That’s sweet,” Sophie says, and surprisingly she sounds sincere. “I think the important question is, who recorded us.”

“I mean, that is creepy,” Jason says. “Do you guys have any idea who is might be?”

I shrug, while Sophie says, “It could be anyone.”

Then it dawns on me—there are two names written all over this.

▲ △ ▼ ▽

I leave dinner early and head straight back to my room, my eyes focused on my phone. After a few seconds of scrolling through texts, I find the thread I’m looking for—but instead of sending a message, I hit the phone icon and the line begins to trill. Once, twice, three times before you’ve reached the voice mailbox of 802-555-9811.

I end the call with haste and start typing a message.

I know it was you who sent out that recording.

Hi, I have no idea what you are talking about.

Who are you? How are you spying on me?

Lol, ok I know I’ve been mysterious but trust me, Abram, I’m not lurking in the shadows spying on you. I’m hundreds of miles away.

Why should I believe you?

Because I think deep down you know that I’m not to blame for whatever happened?

I set my jaw. As much as I want Sylvia—or whoever she is—to be responsible for the recording, a big, growing larger by the second, part of me somehow knows that she isn’t. Even if all she has ever done to me is lie, I know her, and this isn’t her style.

But it could be someone else’s.

I thumb through my contacts until I find Ellie and I press the call button with more force than necessary.

Ring.

Ring.

Ellie’s face appears on the screen and she’s rolling her eyes. “Kai, if you’re calling about Brody—”

“Ellie, I need you to be honest, did you record Elise and me…indecently?” I ask.

There is a long pause that is followed by laughter. “Do I look like Gossip Girl to you? What are you talking about?”

I study her face for tells—but I’m looking at the girl who once said; it isn’t staking, it’s called fierce journalism. She doesn’t have tells.

“I know you are angry at me over Natasha—”

“First off, don’t say that name,” Ellie says with a look of disgust. “And second, I was angry, yeah, but I’m not anymore.”

“Look, you and I both know that you’re vengeful, so if you could just admit that this was your way of getting back at me—”

“I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about, Kai,” says Ellie, “I haven’t seen you since you and your brother Mason—”

“Jason,” I correct her.

She rolls her eyes. “Since you and your brother Jason were here after Thanksgiving, and the only time I’ve seen you and Elise together was during that facetime call back in December.”

I go from pacing to sitting on the edge of my bed, defeated.

“What happened?” she asks. “You look worried—and is your lip cut?”

“I took a high stick at practice,” I lie. “And someone recorded Elise and I...”

“Save the gory details, I think I’m picking up what you’re putting down,” she says.

“They sent it to everyone at school,” I say.

“That is pure genius,” Ellie says fondly. “I mean—that’s terrible for you, but that’s one way of getting information on there. You have no idea who it could be?”

I shake my head. “I thought maybe it was you, you’re the only person smart enough, and had a reason to.”

“I can’t believe you think I’d actually do that to you!” Ellie says, offended.

“I can’t believe you have the audacity to think you wouldn’t,” I say back. “You made YouTube videos bashing our English teacher in the ninth grade for giving you an A minus on a paper.”

“Touche.”

A tall girl with long, curly, strawberry blonde hair eyeballs me as she walks through the classroom. Mr. Grant greats her as she passes him and slides into the seat beside mine.

“We haven’t met yet,” says the girl after she pulls a Tootsie Pop out of her mouth. “I’m Dominique Wesley.”

“Abram,” I say, watching as she suggestively places the sucker in her mouth, then against her cheek.

“Oh, I know who you are,” she says brightly. “I think everyone does after that video. I also think that we should get together sometime.”

“Excuse you.” I look up to see Sophie glaring down at the girl beside me. “That’s my seat.”

“I don’t see your name on it,” Dominique replies. “But there are a few empty seats in the back just waiting for you.”

“I’m going to give you five seconds to get up before I—”

“Before you what?” says Dominique, “Finally move and leave Abram and I to our conversation? I’m not going anywhere, babe. But you probably should. Class is starting soon.”

Sophie’s cheeks are the color of her hair and she turns her nose up at the girl before walking around us and to the back of the classroom.

“Where were we?” she says, tilting her head. “Oh, right, you were just about to ask me out.”

I laugh because I don’t know what else to do. Girls never gave me this much attention before and I honestly don’t know what to do with it.

“Did I say something funny?” she says, eyebrows raised.

I shake my head. “No, I’m just trying to figure out why we never met before. Are you new?”

“I was taking pre-calc last semester, but I had to take it with the other freshman,” she says, rolling her eyes.

“You’re—you’re a freshman?” I say, eyes wide.

She sits up and smiles proudly. “I’ll be fifteen in March.”

My breath catches in my throat and I feel dirty enough to need a bath in bleach.

“Wow, ok,” I say. I swallow hard. “It’s uh, impressive that you’re already taking Calculus. I think I was hardly passing pre-algebra when I was fourteen.”

“I’m extremely advanced for my age,” she says, smirking. “And not just with schoolwork.”

“All right, everyone,” Mr. Grant says. “Quiet down.”

The room falls silent as he takes his place in front of us holding a stack of papers. “We’ll be having a pop-quiz today. I know, I’m awful, but the good news is, you’re free to go when you’re done.”

He counts out enough quizzes for each row of students and hands them out, face down. “You can start once you get yours and you have until the end of the period to finish it.”

I flip my paper over and get to work on the first of ten questions.

I’m only on the third question when I hear a pair of heels clicking, and I look up to see Sophie making her way to Mr. Grant’s desk. I glance around the room to see everyone else hard at work, while Sophie hands her quiz off, completed.

She winks at me as she walks across the front of the room, quietly opening the door. I want to ask how she managed to cheat—then I realize just how much everyone seems to underestimate her; she didn’t cheat. She is just scarily intelligent.

Fifteen minutes later I find myself on my feet, offering my paper to Mr. Grant, who takes it with a smile. I feel several pairs of eyes on me as I walk to the door, but I don’t dare look back—because I don’t want to see that little girl put anything else in her mouth.

(texts Brody & Abram)

dude why is ellie so petty?

she brought me coffee to school, saying it was a peace offering. well she put salt in it instead of sugar and when i took a drink and spit it out she said oh, was that salt im sorry it was an accident, kinda like how you accidentally kissed Natasha

lmao bro she’s the queen of petty she always has been

I’m following in those petty ass footsteps because here I am passive aggressively drinking it and looking at her from across the cafeteria.

i didn’t raise no bitch. You drink that bitter AF coffee ♥

i am. wyd.

Just got out of calc, about to find somewhere to baptize myself in bleach.

did you hook up w a bootleg looking girl or st?

no dude worse i got a semi talking to this hot girl in my calc class she was deep throating a sucker and then says lol i’ll be 15 in march omg fkin gross

omg right these children are out here catfishing us in real life wtf what happened to young girls having snuggle teeth and acne?

idk but I honestly feel like I need to go to church and apologize.

lol i miss you man.

Miss you more pookie

I wasn’t gonna tell you but I’m too excited not to. I’m gonna come to your game on Saturday.

I’m mid key smash when I feel someone sit beside me on the fountain. Locking my phone, I look up and I immediately scoot away from the girl who looks at me like I’m a four-course meal and she hasn’t eaten for days.

“You know, I’m impressed with how fast you finished that quiz,” says Dominique as she crosses her legs toward me. “Maybe I need some tutoring.”

“I’m sure Mr. Grant wouldn’t mind helping you if you’re having problems,” I say and I lean farther away from her.

“I’m not interested in his help,” she replies, smirking. “I was thinking maybe you could help me.”

“Abram—oh.” I look over my shoulder to see Elise rounding the fountain, her lips pinching into a thin line as she studies the girl beside me. “Never mind, I would hate to interrupt.”

I stand and grab my backpack. “You’re not—I was actually looking for you.”

She glances back at Dominique. “Are you sure, because you looked pretty cozy—”

“Please, save me,” I whisper against Elise’s ear.

She pulls away and smiles back at Dominique. “Sorry, sweetie, but he isn’t available right now. You can try again later—maybe once you’ve hit puberty?”

“I think she already has,” I say as Elise urges me away from the fountain and my dignity.

“Oh my God, Abram,” Elise snaps. “That girl is like twelve.”

“I know,” I bite back. “She was trying to show me how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop earlier.” I can’t help but cringe as I think about it, and I will myself to think of something else.

“I think she probably want to know how many licks it’ll take from you,” she says, rolling her eyes. “You seem to have a fan club now.”

“I think I’ve had one since that party—”

“God, shut up!” she says, walking in front of me and throwing her arms out. “What makes you think I want to hear about that? Or any story about you with any other girl?”

I stare at her, eyebrows creasing together. “Oh, but it’s okay for you to flaunt your relationship with Jason in front of me?”

“I don’t do that, Abram—that’s Jason. Besides, that’s different, I haven’t—we haven’t—we’ve barely even kissed!”

“So that makes it fair?” I say.

“I didn’t say that—”

“But you’ve implied it plenty of times,” I say. “Did you just want to fight with me? Is that why you were looking for me?”

“No, but I wasn’t expecting to find you with some freshman skank!” she shouts. “I thought you had standards—but I guess if you’d be into Sylvia, you’d be into anyone.”

I laugh dryly and shake my head. “Obviously I don’t have standards,” I say, holding my arms out toward her. I regret the words as soon as they leave my mouth, but I’m too angry to say sorry, even after her face falls. “Because if I did, I wouldn’t put up with your neck-breaking mood swings.”

Her lips part, but words are forestalled—because I’m not done yet.

“You know what? Never mind—forget that I was looking for you. I’m going to go find Sophie, because at least she is constantly a bitch and doesn’t lead me on!”

Without giving her a chance to respond, I walk away.
