China's Naval Dominance Rises as U.S. Focuses on Diversity
"Around the world the upper hand. China wants to set the stage right now to be able to have absolute naval supremacy in the South China Sea. What are we worried about in the United States of America? Back home? We're worried about that? We're looking at the warnings of history to think to ourselves, hey gee, maybe we should try to do something about this? Nope. Instead, what we're worried about is are we spending enough on diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility? DOD The has scaled up its spending on DEIA in the past three years, jumping from $68 million in fiscal year 2022 to $86 .5 million in fiscal year 2023. But that figure surged another $28 .2 million to $114 .7 million in the department's initial year 2024. If a DOD's initial request for DEIA funding in the final legislation, the department will have spent $270 million on diversity initiatives across the last three years. $270 million on diversity initiatives. Biden's Pentagon has repeatedly pushed for further adoptions of the DEI agenda in its operations. The department's strategic management plan for fiscal years 2022 to 2026 listed one of its goals as

Is Mediaite.com Antisemitic?
"They? Were they? Are we going to point fingers or yell at people? Just days after he received backlash over a disgusting and bigoted attack on a Pakistani American journalist. Well, what did he do? What did he say? Look on this program we know who Ali Velshi is and Mehdi Hassan and they're Israel haters. It may well be worse. We do have an audio after all. So why is media coming to their defense? And why are they character hearing John Podhortz who's been the publisher commentary well thinker -known American Jewish can't really say Ali Velshi and Mehdi Hassan are well -known thinkers. They're attack dogs. Podhortz who in recent weeks flashed out blah blah blah. After Velshi reported that the Hamas run Palestinian Ministry of Health says 10 ,022 Palestinians have been killed and 1 .5 million displaced from their home since October 7th Podhortz responded the Hamas one Ali Velshi uses data from us and tries to make himself clean by calling it Hamas run isn't that true why don't you tell us the numbers John shot back Velshi or would you like to just continue to live in your fantasy world where Palestinians get killed and no one counts or cares why does nobody counter care that doesn't mean you take numbers from a genocidal terrorist regime and use their numbers Velshi and that's his point you don't have the numbers nobody has the numbers so the default position isn't to use a terrorist organization now is it is it media I you see folks we are watching MSNBC and CNN we are watching the New York Times in the Washington Post we are watching all of these Israel hating platforms including now he auto repair costs are up nearly twenty percent from last year that's four times the rate of inflation so when you enroll in a car protection plan through car shield you can look forward to the following car shield offers protection plans starting as low as $100 a month with flexible month -to -month coverage no long -term contracts and options to fit everybody's budget they have repair coverage for up to five thousand parts and you have

A highlight from zkWasm L2 Prover On Polygon CDK
"Welcome to your Ethereum news roundup. Here's your latest for Wednesday, November 8th, 2023. Polygon Labs announces the development of zkwasm, Optimism launches an art contest, Caldera supports custom gas tokens, and Stacker Labs raises a $5 .5 million seed round. All this and more starts right now. Polygon Labs announced that it is developing zkwasm, a zero -knowledge prover aiming to enhance connectivity between Wasm -based blockchains and Ethereum as well as the Polygon CDK ecosystem. The project is a collaborative effort with the NIR Foundation which has become a contributor to Polygon CDK. Wasm -based blockchains use Wasm for smart contract execution, enabling a developer -friendly approach by allowing applications to be built using a broader range of programming languages. With zkwasm, developers will have multiple prover options for their chain deployments using Polygon CDK. Optimism launched the We Love the Art competition, offering 1 million OP tokens and prizes to on -chain creators. Users can participate by minting their creations into NFTs on OP mainnet through any of the nine partner minting platforms. Users must then submit their entries on welovetheart .optimism .io before December 13th. A panel of 40 judges will rate the artworks and select 184 winners across four categories including AI Art, Generative Art, One of Ones, and Music. The prizes are structured in tiers with the highest award being 50 ,000 OP tokens for a winner in each category. Partner platforms for minting include Manifold, sound .xyz, OpenSea, Zora, Descent, and mint .fun. Caldera, a rollup as a service provider, now supports the use of any ERC20 token as a native gas token for Arbitrum Orbit and OP stack rollup deployments. The move diverges from the standard practice of using ETH for transaction fees on Ethereum based rollups. The feature allows users to transact without needing the native asset of a chain for fees. Loot Chain is among the first rollups on Caldera to implement the feature on mainnet by adopting its AGLD token as its native gas token. And lastly, Stacker Labs, a modular tooling provider for rollups, raised a $5 .5 million seed round led by archetype. Stacker simplifies the building of micro rollups using general -purpose programming languages. Developers can use stacker tooling to build app -specific rollups with a custom execution environment. Stacker plans to use the raised funds to expand its team, finalize preparations for the launch of its platform, and grow its developer ecosystem. In other news, Autoscan releases a 2 .0 alpha version of its block explorer, Yearn introduces yprisma incentives, and Etherscan releases an advanced filter leaderboard. This has been a roundup of today's top news stories in Ethereum. You can support this podcast by subscribing and following us on Twitter at ethdaily. Also subscribe to our newsletter at ethdaily .io.

A highlight from Grand Theft Auto 6 NFTs Coming! | Zynga's MASSIVE Success on Ethereum, Solana, & XRP
"So I want to open up with this first story Rockstar plans to announce much anticipated Grand Theft Auto plans to release the trailer for the game in December. So the company is expected to report earnings also on Wednesday and we'll show you some stuff on that. I do want to hit a couple of tweets right here. This of course is one of the posts out there GTA 6 could introduce a crypto reward system. So if this is true, if we actually have a real life crypto reward system inside GTA, this could shift, be a seismic shift. People have already been integrating NFTs in through the modding process. So that's something that has already been utilized within the game itself. And that I think also starts to set the tone for maybe what is about to happen. Now remember though that, you know, this is a headline here going back to May of 2023 talking about why Grand Theft might not necessarily go with cryptocurrencies. Couple of things to highlight here was within it. Look at that growth right there, that's crazy for a game that old. But anyway, right here the Rockstar's NFT ban. This was in November of last year, Rockstar updated its website to clarify fan operated Grand Theft Auto servers could no longer utilize crypto assets, specifically NFTs. Now the reason that this happened was it was more about IP, meaning players were utilizing IP that wasn't theirs as opposed to fresh NFTs created through the game itself. That was the problem and that was the issue. So they are at least open to this. I think that's one of the things that you have to kind of consider. All right, so just remember that Zynga owned ByTake2 and this is going to kind of paint out what's happening because there's a lot of moving parts here. First crypto game by Grand Theft Auto, their devs achieved 5 million in NFT trading. I think that was a little bit larger if we show some numbers on that in a minute. And this remarkable success comes amidst a decline in volume in active trades on the NFT market, making SugarTown a beacon of innovation and success. Are we at the bottom in the NFTs? I think this is something people have been asking for quite some time looking at whether you're tracking what's happening over at Yuga Labs or you're looking at some of the other NFT projects that are out there. But I want to go into the clip here because this is something that I think will help start to kind of put this together. This is a clip of the SugarTown gameplay so you can kind of understand how these NFTs were integrated. Listen in. Say less. Let's get this taken. Yes. Take my ETH. Perfect. Dude, this is so clean. It feels so pristine and good. The higher level you reach, the more sugar you get. Oh, we're getting paid out in sugar? What can we buy with this stuff? Games. Is that poker? Is that Zenga poker? Nah, no way. Nah, no way. Okay. Maybe like a Mahjong? What's that? How do you say that game? Dude, this website is sick. You can move the website around? Oh my goodness. All right. So, I mean, great UX. I think that's the thing that will continue to be a winner here. But remember that when you look at the history of a lot of these game studio houses, I mean, they've been building UX for a long time. They understand the need for it and also the benefit of it. This is also a good example. Zenga hired a VP of blockchain gaming. This is Matt Wolf, who's responsible for integrating NFC into companies' existing games. I want to go over to Matt's video. Well, we've got a clip here of Matt talking about Take -Two. Listen in. Zenga is, of course, now part of Take -Two Interactive, you know, $25 billion behemoth. You're also having to navigate the Take -Two policies, legal processes. How supportive has Take -Two been on this journey into Web3? How autonomous can you guys be as a team? We don't have enough time on the podcast for me to go through. Are you there? Yeah. All of the needles we had to thread to bring Sugar Town to life. But I will say this. Take -Two has a rich history of empowering the companies it combines with, period.

A highlight from BITCOIN, XRP, & ETHEREUM PUMPING! HIGHER PRICES THIS WEEK??
"The crypto market is pumping. Bitcoin is back over $35 ,000. Ethereum hit $1 ,900. XRP over $0 .68. Solana over $41. Cardano over $0 .34. Can we anticipate higher prices this week? Let's break it down. Welcome to the Thinking Crypto Podcast, your home for cryptocurrency news and interviews. If you are new here, please hit that subscribe button as well as the thumbs up button and leave a comment below. If you're listening on a podcast platform like Spotify or Apple, please leave a five -star rating and review. It supports the podcast and it doesn't cost you anything. Well, folks, the market is moving and it could be the Asian markets because it's Monday for them and they may be investing in the market, pushing things forward. Regardless, we are seeing green and I'm happy about that. We are waiting for Bitcoin to continue its move up because Bitcoin is the rising tide that lifts all boats and Bitcoin could certainly go to $36 ,000 this week, or it could make a big green candle and move all the way up to $40K. We'll have to wait and see how things play out. But nevertheless, it's looking bullish. It's building support levels here, and then it's going to bounce off those support levels. Now, the alts are looking very strong. ETH is looking really good. XRP is looking really good. I hold both of those in my portfolio. And here's what Crypto Wizard is saying for both XRP and Ethereum. So let's start with Ethereum. He shared a chart here saying Ethereum is gearing up for a breakout from the 296 days of pure accumulation. On his chart, he's showing a move to about $3 ,400, $3 ,500, and possibly to $3 ,600. So this is the retracement move, not the move to new all -time highs, right? Similar to Bitcoin, we're anticipating Bitcoin's move to a target between $40K to $50K. We don't know what the exact top is going to be. Then a rollover to test some of the lows again before slow and steadily moving upwards into the next bull market. So the alts will have a similar pattern, a retracement move, so not to new all -time highs. And I'm certainly going to be taking profits on Bitcoin and ETH, possibly XRP too. He's charting here that the road to 74 cents has started. XRP is up over 10 % from the call he made 48 hours ago. He says a breakout of this ascending triangle in the XRP BTC chart will grant liftoff, perfectly charted and predicted, executed, see below. So he shared his notes from previous tweets. So I think we're going to see a lot of alts move and hear XRP and Ethereum obviously in the top five, top six, or top 10, I should say. They're going to keep moving upwards. So let's see where things go this week, folks. I think we can anticipate higher prices. The question is always, what's the top going to be? So if you are looking to take profits, have a plan, know what you're going to do, and I'm going to take some profits certainly as things keep moving up. Definitely on Solana as well. Solana is up 26 % from a seven -day perspective. And look here, XRP is up 23 % from a seven -day perspective. So that's pretty strong guys, looking very bullish. Now we got some news from attorney John Deaton regarding the Ripple case. As you all know, the SEC dropped their lawsuit against Ripple CEO, Brad Garlinghouse and Chris Larson, the founder of Ripple. So the SEC is in a losing position right now. John said the people who argued that the SEC got a 50 -50 victory in the Ripple case are 100 % wrong. It was more like 90 -10 in Ripple's favor. If Ripple ends up paying a $20 million fine or less, it's a 99 .9 % legal victory. He's absolutely right. Because when you think about all the things the SEC threw at Ripple, saying XRP is a security in all aspects, not in certain aspects, suing Brad and Chris, and just making all types of accusatory statements and so forth over the years, and now the SEC is in the losing position. And folks, I smell blood. So we got to go for the juggler here. We got to put the pressure. We got to keep exposing scumbag regulator, Gary Gensler, not only in this case, but in the Grayscale case and the Coinbase case. We got to put the pressure on because this guy is working with our tax dollars and doing all kinds of buffoonery, lies, hypocrisy, not following the law. And those are not my words, folks. Those are the words of the judges saying the SEC lacks faithful allegiance to the law. So it's up to us to hold these folks accountable and we can make content and contact our representatives and do much more. So John's spot on here. Now there's some crypto funding news that I want to share with you all. Here's the showing more capitals coming into the market, both into coins, as well as the companies building the infrastructure for the market. So two projects focus on zero knowledge, the cryptographic concept of proving a statement true without looking at its contents. Announced funding rounds this week, Variant and 1KX headlined a $6 million fundraise for Modulus, a startup using zero knowledge to bring AI on chain. Stanford University's Blockchain Builders Fund also participated. Look at that folks, Stanford University. Look who's getting involved in investing in crypto, right? Modulus pitches itself as using zero knowledge proofs to let AI developers check that their tools are working as intended without sacrificing decentralization. In a blog post announcing the fundraise, the company said a partnership with Whirlcoin is in the works. Now you all know how I feel about Whirlcoin. I believe they're solving a serious problem. However, the way they're going about it is pretty draconian, right? Scanning your retina and putting your data on the blockchain. We need to make sure that that data is protected and they're not going to be selling it and doing all kinds of stuff with it. So Evolution Equity Partners led a $5 million funding round for Boston -based Toposware, a software development firm hoping to woo developers into its ZK ecosystem. Polygon co -founder Sandeep Nairwal participated in the funding round and is listed as a member of Toposware's advisory council alongside Meta's director of infrastructure and global general manager of IBM. Some other notable fundraisers include Hong Kong -based Animoca Brands received $50 million from a fund owned by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund to boost Saudi Web3 development. Now that right there should be a headline, right? Hong Kong -based Animoca Brands got $50 million from the Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund to boost the Saudi Web3 development. Folks, it's happening globally. The adoption and investment and building out of the crypto market infrastructure. The Ecubo Protocol, if I'm saying that right, automated market maker, also known as AMM, is poised to raise $12 million from Uniswap's DAO after an initial community token vote. Tech investment giant A16Z is reportedly aiming to raise $3 .4 billion for its next round of venture funds. The firm plans new crypto investment vehicles in 2025. So we talked about this news earlier this week. Base's Surf Derivatives Exchange raised $3 million from ABCDE and others to support its creation of the contracts -based version of Uniswap. Very interesting. Folks, this type of news gets my juices flowing, right? I see the capital coming in, the money is flowing in. And like I said, it goes to both the tokens as well as the companies building in the market. So very bullish news. Finally, guys, don't forget to check out the sponsor of this podcast, the official sponsor, Uphold, an exchange I've been using since 2018. They have 260 plus cryptocurrencies. They're safe to use. They have proof of reserves. They do audits. They don't commingle your funds. Everything is backed up and they have a great app and a great platform. You can also trade precious metals and 37 fiat currencies on this platform. Like I said, I'm a user of Uphold. It's great. So be sure to check it out. Link in the description. And let me know what you think about this news. Leave your thoughts and comments below. You think Bitcoin and altcoins will hit some new higher prices relative to this current cycle this week. Let me know. Leave a five -star rating on the podcast platforms as well. Thank you. And I'll talk to you all later.

"AI related tokens down on Biden's EA." Nov 01, 2023
"It's 8 a .m. Eastern, November the 1st, and this is your daily crypto report. Bitcoin is down slightly at $34 ,405, ETH is down slightly at $1 ,798, and Binance Coin is down slightly at $224. Well, AI -related tokens in the crypto markets have seen declines of 4 to 7 percent in the wake of President Joe Biden's executive order on AI addressing potential benefits and risks. The order aims to ensure responsible AI use while addressing concerns such as fraud, discrimination, and national security threats. Critics say it could stifle innovation and impose burdensome reporting requirements, comparing it to public company reporting for startups developing large AI models. The order's success will depend on executive branch agencies and potential legal challenges. Well, Bruno Brock, the founder of blockchain protocol Oysterpearl, has been sentenced to four years in prison for tax offenses. He pled guilty in April of 2023, admitting to causing a tax loss of over $5 .5 million. He was also ordered to serve a one -year supervised release. He initially faced charges in 2020 from the IRS and the ICC with assistance from the FBI and Commodities Future Trading Commission. He used a coin mixer to hide the true destination of crypto on the blockchain, then transferred funds to family members, friends, and himself. He made millions from an initial coin offering of the PRL crypto in 2017, but didn't report the income accurately, falsifying tax returns, and then using the $10 million from the proceeds to buy multiple yachts, real estate, and home renovations. He also admitted to minting new PRL tokens in violation of promises made to investors. Well, police in Taiwan have busted a crypto -related money laundering operation involving $324 million USDT. The case is linked to an investment fraud scheme uncovered in October of last year. The investigation revealed that victims were instructed to transfer funds to dummy accounts, which were then funneled to overseas crypto exchanges or individual traders. Police have made several arrests in the case. And finally, DeFi protocol ONIX has suffered an exploit resulting in a loss of more than $2 .1 million. The attack was on ONIX's code base involving an integer rounding issue and a flash loan. The attacker borrowed a substantial amount of ETH through a flash loan, exchanged it for Pepe tokens, and manipulated the exchange rate by donating them to a specific pool. Due to the precision loss, the attacker could withdraw more than the underlying asset by burning fewer shares. The attacker then transferred 700 ETH to the crypto -mixing service Tornado Cash.

A highlight from Huddle01 - The Decentralized Communication Network
"I'm a fan of, of the whole philosophy of being a multi planetary species. So if you ask me, I believe it that right that humans will, we are very exploratory in nature, and we need to be outside as well. Like just like inside, we need to be outside as well see more things. Hi everyone, Andy Pickering here. I'm your host and welcome to the Crypto Conversation, a Brave New Coin podcast where we talk to the people building the future in the Bitcoin, Blockchain and Cryptocurrency space. exchange, centralized finance, or CFI structure, and it's more than just secure storage. One of the most important aspects of the Web3 BitGet wallet is BitGet Swap, which supports tokens from more than 90 different blockchains and offers cross chain compatibility across 17 different chains. BitGet Swap aggregates liquidity across 100 DEXs and leverages intelligent routing mechanisms to provide users with the best trading prices across different protocols. So try the BitGet wallet, download the app today. I've put a link in the show notes or just go to web3 .bitget .com. All right, well, thank you to BitGet. And now it is on with the show. And my guest today is Ayush Ranjan. Ayush is the co -founder and CEO at Huddle One whose mission is to democratize WebRTC and make it more private, secure and scalable. Welcome to the show Ayush. Thank you so much Andy for having me. And yeah, great to be here. Great to have you here. Let's do what we do at the beginning of the show. It'd be great if you could please introduce yourself. We'd just love to hear, I guess, some of your personal and professional backstory and what you've been doing in the lead up to getting involved with founding Huddle One. Yeah. So my journey is that I am an electrical engineer by my study. Like I started electrical engineering graduate back in 2016. Did a lot of work in product and growth for four years in the startup world. Basically growing all these B2C based startups from zero to one. So did a lot of work in digital marketing, SEO, ASO and all the growth based stuff like programmatic advertising. But realize that the way we are doing advertising is not great because you target people left, right and center. So that's where I stumbled upon something called as Brave Browser, which was my entry into the world of Web3 Space in 2019 itself, where I realized that you don't need to target people to show them ads, you can actually make sure that you can build a bottom up system in which you can show these ads in a much more non targeted manner, while still having great results. So that's how I entered the space. The first token which I ever bought was not BTC or ETH but actually bad basic attention token because I so much believe in the project. And then in 2020, while I was I dabbled more into the blockchain Web3 Space, I stumbled upon a hackathon, which was happening in the Web3 arena, which was called ETH Global Hacker Fest. It happens every year, same time in July. And ETH Global was fantastic doing these online hackathons of 30 days, seven days, 21 days. So I was like, Okay, let's let's try to get into this and understand that what's happening there in the hackathon space of Web3. So I then got my co founder, who is now my co founder, Sushmit, and also the CTO at Huddle as a kind of hackathon partner, and we decided to build something in the hackathon. And that's where we realized that it was July of 2020. Zoom was like trading at the top of the stock market, maybe a bit frothy as well because of the whole COVID saga. But there was a big privacy issue at that time, which was called zoom bombings. That means anyone can join your zoom call. It was not private. And that made us realize that privacy is a very big concern in the in the world of communication. And communication is the integral part of human beings to collaborate, innovate, and and basically to move further along. So and then over time, we realized that the problem is not just with zoom, the problem is actually with all the infrastructure of video communications and audio communication itself. So that's how we started building a peer to peer video calling platform. And then we added a layer of IPFS and FileCon for recording live peer for live streaming. And that's how we build the first product layer of Huddle01. Now in the last three years, we have become a team of 30 people raised more than $5 million so far, and have built the product layer, the SDK layer, as well as the protocol layer, where the SDK is more like an integrated audio video into your own product in less than five minutes using five lines of code. And the protocol is basically that if we if you, me and Sushmit are doing a call, Sushmit can become a node, and he can power the meeting. So we have built a proper people powered communication network, starting with the app layer, moving to the SDK layer, which is the middleware, and then moving towards the protocol layer itself. So yeah, I think that's the journey about us. Yeah, in descriptive manner. Very nice. Thank you so much. Yeah, we packed a lot in there. And it's fascinating. I love the fact that your entry, I suppose, into into Web3 or blockchain was, as you said, the Brave browser and basic attention token.

A highlight from XRP Case WIN, Bitcoin ETF Coming Soon!? & SimSwap Hacker EXPOSED!
"Is BlackRock good for Bitcoin? Another win for Ripple's XRP and Tom Emmer gives up? Welcome to Crypto Brunch, I'm Hannah and I'm gonna catch you up on this week's events in cryptocurrency. As many of you already know, large investment firms like BlackRock, Grayscale, Fidelity, Invesco and more have applied to sell U .S. spot exchange traded funds or ETFs that are directly linked to Bitcoin holdings. The United States Securities and Exchange Commission or the SEC has not yet approved any applications for spot Bitcoin ETFs, although there is a lot of speculation that a Bitcoin ETF could significantly increase participation in the cryptocurrency industry. The most notable ETF news this week, BlackRock. On Monday, October 23rd, BlackRock's ETF was listed on the DTCC website, which is the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation. The markets were in a frenzy over the possibility of a spot ETF being approved soon, and Bitcoin prices surged past 35K after the news began to circulate online. It later was revealed that according to CoinDesk, the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF has actually been on the website since August, but it was just noticed by crypto researchers this week. The ETF disappeared from the DTCC website on Tuesday, but Bitcoin prices are still sitting around 34K two days after the news took over the Internet. According to Cointelegraph, the DTCC doesn't typically witness this level of attention, which highlights the uniqueness and the intensity of this entire saga. And the saga continues. The SEC charged the world's largest asset manager BlackRock on the same day that its spot Bitcoin ETF was spotted on the DTCC website. BlackRock was fined $2 .5 million, which is chump change for them, for an incorrect investment disclosure agreement. It's important to note that this was, as far as we know, not related to crypto at all. Do you think BlackRock's ETF will get approved? Is BlackRock good or bad for crypto overall? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below. And we've got another win for XRP this week. A lawyer that has been closely following the Ripple lawsuit named Bill Morgan says that the SEC has a very low chance of winning its appeal against XRP. The case is still ongoing, of course, but Ripple has won some recent victories. Last week, the SEC dropped its case against Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and executive chairman Chris Larsen. This means that Garlinghouse and Larsen will not have to go to trial. The SEC also voluntarily dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning that the SEC cannot file the case again. This is a big win for Ripple, and it suggests that the SEC may not have a strong case or enough evidence against XRP at all to win the case. The recent developments in the XRP and SEC case are positive for Ripple overall, and I'm excited to see what comes next. XRP army, where you at, baby?

Tom Emmer is a Republican member of the US House of Representatives from Minnesota. He's a big supporter of cryptocurrency, and he has been a leading voice in Congress on crypto related issues. In October 2023, Emmer was nominated by some Republicans to be the Speaker of the House. The Speaker of the House is the leader of the House of Representatives, and it is a very powerful position. However, Emmer's nomination was met with opposition from other Republicans. Some Republicans were concerned that Emmer was too close to the crypto industry and that he would not be able to represent the interests of all Americans. Under pressure from other Republicans, Emmer reportedly gave up his nomination for Speaker of the House. This is seen as a setback for the crypto industry by many, as Emmer was one of its strongest allies in Congress. The new House Speaker has been announced, and it is Mike Johnson. Let me know your thoughts about Emmer and your thoughts about Mike in the comments below. SimSwap hacker exposed? You might remember all of the SimSwap attacks that have been happening within the crypto space over the of their crypto funds. Zach XPT has published a thread exposing the alleged hacker this morning. Yahya is a Canadian who is supposedly connected to 17 plus SimSwap hacks, including Peter Schiff, Cold Theorem, Alien Friends, and more. Apparently, Yahya was doing Twitter lookups to gather information on the victims so the attacks could commence. Yahya would receive a percentage of the funds once they were stolen from the SimSwap victims. The most interesting part of the thread, in my opinion, is that Yahya spent the money that he earned on watches and unreleased Juice World songs. Rest in peace, Juice. Long live Jared. Yahya has reached out to me personally, and he claims that he is not involved, but I'm sure more information will come out over the next few days. If you remember the SimSwap attacks, do you know that there was a lot of money involved? Do you think that it was this kid from Canada, or is there more to the story than we're seeing right now? Let me know. It's down below. Thank you for watching until the end of the video. I appreciate you, and I believe in you, and I will see you next time.
Real Estate Coaching Radio
A highlight from 7 NEW RULES For Real Estate Agents MUST Know
"Welcome to Real Estate Coaching Radio, starring award -winning real estate coaches and number one international bestselling authors, Tim and Julie Harris. This is the number one daily radio show for realtors looking for a no BS, authentic, real time coaching experience. What's really working in today's market, how to generate more leads, make more money, and have more time for what you love in your life. And now your hosts, Tim and Julie Harris. On yesterday's podcast, we answered the question, is this the worst real estate market in all of our lifetimes? And we're not going to tell you the answer, you have to listen to yesterday's podcast. But today we're going to be giving you the seven new rules for real estate agents in this market, or seven new rules that agents must know to not just survive, but thrive in this market. Because as hopefully we expressed yesterday, despite the headlines that this is the lowest number of home sales annually in decades, despite the fact that the interest rates now are higher than they've been in decades, there are still 8 million agents that received paychecks in the last 12 months, 4 million transactions roughly. The actual number is, Julie? The actual number is 3 .96. And the number of new construction homes that were built in, let's assume sold in the last 12 months, was also around 700 ,000. So you know, you've got to think about that. Now with that said, the average commission for most agents is going to be at least $10 ,000. If you add all this up, roughly 5 million transactions times roughly $10 ,000, or 5 million times 2 if there were a buyer's agent and a listing agent on each transaction, times $10 ,000, that is a lot of money. So there are still agents, a lot of agents, that are doing incredibly well because of this market, because they are learning the new, frankly, skills that are absolutely positively required to not just survive but thrive in this market. That's right. The agents that are most proactive are absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt, making the most money already in this shifting market. And you don't have to be the most seasoned, veteran, experienced, blah blah blah agent. Matter of fact, and this is the interesting thing about a market like this, you can be brand spanking new and be, you know, farming or doing a lot of proactive lead generation into a market where there is a well established agent who's been the king or the queen of that market for generations and you could easily start getting listings that otherwise would have been theirs. That's right. Some of our listeners can attest to that. So yes, the market is shifting, but don't overreact. We have had fewer sales, but we're not having price crashes or anything like that. So tuck your drama in and get back to work. If you expect buyers and sellers to transact with you, you must be more educated, motivated and proactive than in the previous hot, hot seller's market. And also, Julie, a lot of agents have been asking you and I about eXp Realty. We did a show last week about, you know, essentially a lot of agents looking for a broker upgrade or choosing a broker in the first place. Yes, Julie and I are proudly associated with eXp Realty.

Please do text. I have my ringer turned off. So just text and we'll start the conversation. That's right. So today we're talking about seven new rules for real estate agents in today's shifting market. So starting out with a fact as always, some homes will sell immediately with multiple offers, refer to yesterday's podcast for those stats, and sometimes over the list price, and some of them won't. Be able to handle both situations with skill. Remember, the market is not about to crash. We're not going to have prices just falling out of the sky. The number of sales is lower, and it may seem like a crash to you if you believe that 30 days on the market is the end of the world, okay, but this time is not like last time. Stop saying that. Many agents, buyers, sellers, and lenders were not even adults during the last time the crash of 2007 to 2009. The elements are not remotely the same. We've done extensive podcasts on those facts. Waiting to buy or sell because you think the market's going to crash is definitely a mistake. Let's do put an asterisk by that. Yes, you are correct. If you're thinking that there's going to be distress in multifamily or in commercial, there is every reason to believe that is true, but not on the residential side of things. We talked about that on the yesterday's podcast, but there's probably going to be a lot of buying opportunities. Those of you who have been looking for multifamilies, and frankly, the cap rates have been pretty bad the last few years, well, I think, and Julie and I have seen the actual projections as far as what's going to happen with, frankly, a lot of the multifamilies. They could be dropping in cost by as much as 20 % over the next 18 to 24 months, and the same goes, if not worse, frankly, for office space. If you're looking for office space and you want to be buying office space in San Francisco, now is going to be probably the best time of many generations to do so, but on the residential real estate front, absolutely not. This is the lowest amount of distressed real estate in how many years? Do you remember? I think they started reporting on that about 48, 50 years ago. Since the beginning of reporting, this is the lowest that it's been, and it's actually going down. Is it really? As a percent of all homes, the number that are actually in any forms of distress are actually just expressed historic lows. It's like right around 3 % or less. That's incredible. Yep, absolutely. So we're talking about the seven new rules for the new market. Rule number one, set your seller's expectations for two scenarios. So I'm talking to listing agents now. Yes, it may sell right away, possibly with multiple offers. However, if it does not sell right away, what does that do to their plans? Understand your seller's motivation and their timeframe and discuss different scenarios After you have the listing signed, but before the first showing, what are the average days on the market for the subject property? Don't assume that it's 10 seconds or 10 days or less, or even 30 days or less, depending on the market conditions. It's not all going to universally be the same like it used to be. But do assume that your seller does think it's going to be on the market for 10 days or less. Do assume that if you competed for that listing, that the other agents weren't as informed as you because they might not be podcast listeners, let alone our coaching clients. So do assume the seller is going to have their head full of a lot of misinformation that you're going to have to correct with a lot of facts, hopefully many of what you're learning from our coaching program.
Evangelism On Fire
A highlight from Understanding of Israel and Palestine You Need To Have
"Welcome, Evangelism on Fire Nation, to today's special pod episode news bite. This is your host, Mark Thomas. We're going to jump right into today's news bite. No introduction, there's no commercials, and no outro to today's pod episode news bite. We're going to jump right into what you need to know, the understanding that you need to have of Israel and Palestine as a Jesus follower, as Christians. As Christians living in the West, which is where I stand speaking today from my city of RVA, Richmond, Virginia, how do we make sense of what could be the beginning of a major Middle East and regional conflict? Because I have been a student of the Bible long enough, 22 years, to know that the average person really doesn't understand the complexities of Israel and the historic Middle East conflict. So I would love for you to take notes today while you allow me just a moment to lay what I believe to be a very important foundation to your understanding of Israel, the Middle East, and even Bible prophecy. Number one, five words that Christians should understand concerning modern Israel, because I'm sure many of you, if we were to sit down and chat, some of you would have perhaps a cursory knowledge. Some would have absolutely no knowledge. Some in the West, look, you just really don't care as long as the bomb doesn't land in your backyard. You're impervious to anything that goes on, but here is a truth bomb for you. If you are a believer, the Bible has commanded you to be an ally of Israel in Jerusalem, in your thoughts, in your prayers, in your giving, and in your heart of concern and compassion. Truth bomb, it is impossible to be a serious student of the Bible and a dedicated believer without understanding your responsibilities and your spiritual responsibilities to Israel, to Jerusalem, and to God's chosen people. Cannot get a good evangelism on fire, boom. Here are five words that Christians should understand concerning modern Israel. Now these are obviously going to be brief. Feel free to go back and do more of an in -depth study. I cannot do an exhaustive study on all these in the very short news bite time that we have today. Number one, Hamas. That's the group taking full responsibility for this heinous attack. Hamas is an aggressive, fundamentalist, militant movement in one of the Palestinian territories, two major political parties. Word number two, Fatah, formerly known as the Palestinian National Liberation Movement is a Palestinian nationalist and social democratic political party. They are the counterpart of Hamas. Word number three, Palestine. Although the concept of Palestine regionally in its geographical extent has been fluid throughout modern history and ancient history, in the Middle East, as I speak, Israel and Palestine, don't miss this truth bomb, share the land west of the Jordan River. Very important that you understand that if you're going to understand at least the geopolitical nature of this conflict, Palestine and Israel share the same land west of the Jordan River using the word share lightly. Israel is predominantly a Jewish state while Gaza and the West Bank are Palestinian and mostly Muslims and Arabs. So if you can imagine just in that sentence, the powder keg of having a small territory with multiple political groups and agendas, two of which exist to exterminate every Jew from the face of the planet, to have all of that in a small area occupying the same land, borders of which they do not even agree on. Number four, West Bank. People hear that all the time in the news. Here's why it's important to know about the West Bank. The West Bank is one of two Palestinian territories. Don't forget that. There are two Palestinian territories and they don't share the same borders. The West Bank is located within the country of Israel and it's the larger of the two territories at approximately 2 ,173 square miles. The West Bank stretches across the eastern border of Israel and along the West Banks of the Jordan River in most of the Dead Sea, which is why it has received the name the West Bank. The holy city of Jerusalem is considered by international law as part of the West Bank with East Jerusalem being claimed as the capital by both the Israelis and the Palestinians. So throw that complexity into what we've already discovered. They both claim Jerusalem as their capital. Number five, Gaza Strip. The Gaza Strip is the second and smaller of the two Palestinian territories and it's on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea. It borders Egypt on the southwest for about 11 kilometers and Israel on the east and north for about 51 kilometers. Both the West Bank and Gaza Strip were captured by Israel in the Six Day War of 1967. There are over 5 million Palestinians combined living in those two territories. Muslims comprise 85 % of the population of the West Bank and 99 % of the population of the Gaza Strip. So there in a very brief nutshell is an overview of five words that you'll hear continually, have heard continually on the news when we deal with the Middle East complexities and now war. Listen, if you as a Christian are going to understand what is going on, take the time to re -listen to this news bite and go over those five words. Fill in the blanks with your own study, but at least digest these five words and phrases and territories because until you understand that, you're not going to understand the detail of Bible prophecy in this area.
Crypto Critics' Corner
A highlight from Mooonstone Bank: FTX, Deltec, and the Mission to Move Millions
"Welcome back everyone, I am Cass Pianci and I'm joined as usual by my partner in crime, Mr. Bennett Tomlin. How are you? I'm doing well. How are you, Cass? Good. Annoyed. It's been a dumb week for everyone in the world, basically. There's just so many stupid stories going on right now. But we're focused on Moonstone Bank today, which in a sense is related to the ongoing drama of FTX and Alameda Research, where we've been doing some coverage in regard to the trial as well. But yeah, Moonstone Bank is a particular and very niche topic, but it deserves kind of an examination of its own. I guess I just want to get us started with the very basic facts of what Moonstone was. So Farmington Bank was established in the 1800s. This was a small community bank located in eastern Washington state. It basically served farmers that were locally in this very, very small town of Farmington. Farmington has, I think even right now, something like 250, 300 people or something like that. Incredibly tiny little town. Farmington got bought by a Hong Kong citizen who was naturalized English, I believe. So he was an English citizen of Hong Kong. He purchased the bank in the 1990s and held onto it for 20 -ish years, and then he sold it. And the gentleman that he sold it to is Jean Chalapin, who is an incredibly wealthy banker, but also the creator of the famous cartoon Inspector Gadget and a handful of other cartoons. He is the owner of a large bank in the Bahamas known as Deltech, Deltech Bank and Trust. Deltech served as the main bank for Tether and also served FTX and Alameda Research. They served a lot of cryptocurrency companies. And he purchased Farmington State Bank in 2020. But do you want to take it from there, Bennett? Jean Chalapin went out and purchased this bank, this small bank in the United States. And this is something that Deltech executives have discussed doing before in their publications and stuff about how going to acquire this type of bank effectively gets you the banking license without some of the other headaches. Later, in 2021, Alameda Research agreed to invest $11 .5 million into Moonstone Bank, owning 9 .9 % of it and valuing the bank at $115 million. Besides this investment into Moonstone Bank by Alameda Research, $50 million of the deposits at Moonstone, which was basically all of the deposits at Moonstone, came from FTX funds. Besides that $50 million, there was an additional $50 million loan from FTX to Deltech around the same time that Alameda Research made this $11 .5 million investment. So the reason Moonstone is so important is because there was this attempt by the chairman of the Bank of Cryptocurrency in the Bahamas and the CEO of this important trading firm in exchange, Sam Bankman -Fried, to go out and attempt to gain control of this small community bank, fill it with cryptocurrency funds. And then the stated plan from like Han Vier, the chief marketing officer of the firm, was to try to push this to be like the future of online banking. Serve cryptocurrency, serve cannabis, and create a new experience of online banking that people outside of the small community of Farmington could access. And so that's how we go from like this very small bank to suddenly being a much larger bank with ties to criminal behavior. So what they did is once they had purchased this bank, once Jean Chalapin had bought Moonstone, almost immediately he made the move to transfer the regulatory oversight of Farmington to the Federal Reserve. So initially, smaller banks like this, state chartered banks, banks that aren't doing a lot of global transactions and bigger transactions, generally they prefer the regulatory purview of the federal depositors insurance corporation, the FDIC, just because I think that the regulatory guidelines for the FDIC are a little looser. I don't know if that's the right, I don't want to make the suggestion that the FDIC is not monitoring things and not doing a great job of regulating. That's not my point, but that this smaller bank and smaller banks in general choose the regulatory purview of the FDIC. He moved to have the bank regulated by the Federal Reserve. The one promise made during this regulatory transfer was that Farmington would not be altering its business massively, that it especially wouldn't be altering its business massively in the sense of taking on things like cryptocurrency or cannabis. They almost immediately went against this promise. They almost instantly changed their name from Farmington to doing business as Moonstone, as in to the moon, cryptocurrency, and stone, like stoned marijuana. So they're taking on these two businesses that federally are struggling and having a lot of issues and aren't being accepted widely by the banking system in America, and they're diving headfirst into it. What was surprising for me and many other individuals who covered this and watched as it unfolded was that the Federal Reserve didn't do anything to stop this. And I think part of this is that as the new regulator took over and started monitoring it, there was this six -month, year -long period of this transition from the FDIC regulating them to the Federal Reserve regulating them. And during that time, they could do nearly whatever they wanted. And so I think you're kind of getting at exactly what the point of this move is by switching from FDIC to the Federal Reserve. They started their path towards eventually getting like a Federal Reserve master account and access to like the Federal Reserve's interbank settlement systems and things like that. And they were able to take advantage of kind of the initial scrutiny when they made their like request to become Federal Reserve regulated. And as you kind of pointed towards, there was looser oversight for the period immediately after that, where they were then able to take on this investment from Alameda Research, bring in the new executive team and relaunch with this change business model. And I guess they hoped that by the time the Federal Reserve came back to check on them, the business model would be doing good and they could beg for forgiveness instead of asking for permission. As they decide to get involved with cryptocurrency banking and cannabis banking, I honestly have no idea how much they helped bank the cannabis business in Washington. I think it was a goal more than like a thing they actually did based on like the amount of deposits and what percent we know were FTX. Right. And so like that brings us to the point of very shortly thereafter, this purchase and this switch of regulatory regime, we have this investment by Alameda Research worth $11 .5 million dollars in valuing the bank, which again, guys, this is an incredibly small bank with very few depositors and not a lot of money. Total assets, just to be clear, before Alameda made their investment, was like $5 million. Alameda like invested double their total assets at the time in exchange for less than 10 percent. I think it was less than 10 percent, too, so they could avoid certain reporting obligations if they owned more than 10 percent of the bank. That's right. For people who aren't familiar with this way, it's not just a banking thing. Any publicly traded company, for instance, the famous example of this is Elon Musk purchasing roughly nine point nine percent of Twitter so that he could become a shareholder, but didn't have to do any specific things to get that that board chair seat or whatever. Ultimately, he ended up buying Twitter, so it didn't matter. But similar things happen in business all the time. I think what's interesting here is that, like you said, it valued a very tiny bank, one of the top like five smallest banks in America. It valued it at one hundred and fifteen million dollars, which is I don't know, it's unheard of. But we know how Alameda Research and FTX were doing their investing, which was to dump money everywhere to whoever wanted it. I don't think that's what this is. This is you're right. This is not anywhere to whoever wanted it. This is more like Hyvex than Anthropic, for example. You're right. You're one hundred percent agree with you. But let me put it this way. This was obviously overvalued. Why was this obviously overvalued? Well, there's where we. Conspiracy or stupidity. Right. There's where we get into the interesting part. Because for some of this stuff, like we like we've seen in the trial, you mentioned Anthropic, where they gave them half a billion dollars because they had an idea, which is incredible. I would love half a billion dollars for an idea. Well, have at least one idea first. Well, OK. I mean, that's where I'm screwed.

"almost 5 million %" Discussed on Bloomberg Radio New York
"Earlier intensifying its rhetoric against Israel after that explosion at the hospital in Gaza. We had crude oil popping about 2 % nearly in New York. We closed around 88 .32. We're trading 87 .84 here in the electronic session. So a little bit of a pullback, although during the, well, it was actually after the close yesterday that United Airlines warned of a hit to earnings not just because of the war, but higher jet fuel prices. And today during the regular session, we had United shares down nearly 10%. Right now in Tokyo, information tech leading the UK to a loss of about 1 .5%. In Sydney, the ASX 200 weaker by about 1 %. In this case, material shares leading the way lower. And in Seoul, the KOSPI is off about 1 .5%. Material stocks also weak in South Korea along with members of the industrial complex. In terms of eco data, Japan's exports for the month of September were up 4 .3%. That's year on year and it was above forecast. The street was only looking for about 3%. Little bit of strength coming through in the end, not by much. Let's call it a 10th of 1 % with the yen at 149 .80 against the greenback. And in terms of Australia's labor market, employment in the month of September up 6660. That's month on month. But get this, the street was looking for something around 20 grand. So a bit of a miss on that front. We'll talk more about markets in about 15 minutes. Global Sports Time, Dan Schwartzman is here. Hey Danny. Hey Doug, no surprise. Lionel Messi of Miami Into is the highest paid player at MLS. In fact, it's a league record amount. His guaranteed compensation is $20 .4 million. That is almost 5 million more than number two Toronto FC's Lorenzo Insignia, who's at $15 .4 million as well. The US is going to face Trinidad and Tobago in a CONCACAP November Nations League quarterfinals matchup. It's a home and away series, by the way. The winner of that will move on to one of the four spots in next year's Nations League final in March. Now the winner of that, they go on to the Copa America invite. So it'll also

The Bitboy Crypto Podcast
A highlight from Crypto Sleeping Giant (Thorchain / RUNE Update)
"With so many centralized exchanges plummeting into bankruptcy, decentralized trading, staking and finance are more important than ever. Is THORChain here to fill that need? We're going to tell you everything you need to know about THORChain and its native token, RUNE. It's time to discover crypto. When we talk THORChain, no, I'm not talking about Loki's older brother. We're talking about the protocol behind RUNE, which is both a blockchain and decentralized and autonomous cross -chain liquidity network. The annoying part about a lot of decentralized exchanges is that they only work with a single blockchain. You can't swap Bitcoin on Uniswap, and you can't swap Ethereum on PancakeSwap. Yes, you can buy wrapped Bitcoin or wrapped ETH, and that's compatible with the separate blockchains, but this poses a variety of risks, including custodial and security issues. Because of this, a lot of people send their crypto to centralized exchanges when swapping cross -chain. But these days, you may be about as comfortable with your crypto on an exchange as I am inviting Gary Gensler over for dinner. Remember, not your keys, not your crypto. And that's where THORChain comes in. This network allows users to swap cross -chain while still maintaining privacy, ease and security. And on top of that, THORChain has staking and financing options. But before we dive in, let's make sure you give this video a like and subscribe. That's the best way to show your support for the channel and the Discover Crypto team. THORChain was founded back in 2018 by a mostly anonymous team. Since then, a few members of the team have come forward, including the tech lead Chad Bariford and the lead contributor who goes by Mogarkey. THORChain got its start during the Binance Dexathon in 2018 and went through various other funding initiatives like an initial seed round and the Berlin Cosmos Hackathon, where they premiered their first native DEX exchange, InstaSwap. After that, the team premiered BepSwap, which was a Binance exclusive DEX. And finally, the team raised funds via an initial DEX offering or IDO on Binance in July of 2019, during which they raised $1 .5 million for development. And after all that development, the team launched their multi -chain chaos network, known as MCCN, in 2021, becoming the first DEX to facilitate trustless, non -custodial cross -chain transactions. THORChain's network of nodes is built on Tendermint, a consensus BFT algorithm that forms the foundation of the Cosmos network. The Cosmos BFT, aka Byzantine Fault Tolerance, creates accurate transactions and makes it harder for bad actors to attack the network. What's cool about Tendermint BFT is that the network can reach consensus even if one -third of the nodes aren't functional. It also keeps a record of all transactions across multiple blockchains. And the Cosmos Software Developer Kit allows developers to create their own custom blockchains with pre -made tools that are customizable. Cosmos IBC is the inter -blockchain communication, which creates a decentralized network of independent blockchains. THORChain uses an automated market maker trading mechanism, which determines prices automatically through trustless algorithms. And then there's THORChain's cross -chain bridge, Bifrost Protocol, which monitors vault addresses for transactions that are eventually validated by the THORChain nodes. Once the nodes validate a transaction, THORChain starts the swap, which is also recorded on the THORChain blockchain. THORChain is a proof -of -stake blockchain, which allows a lot of scalability and relative energy efficiency. Proof -of -stake means validator nodes need to buy and stake THORChain's native token, RUNE, which is referred to as bonding. Validators must bond two times the value of a THORChain vault in RUNE. And then the liquidity pools have a $1 of RUNE for every $1 of non -RUNE assets. This ensures that THORChain always has $3 of RUNE for every $1 of other assets it holds in its vaults. THORChain vaults are basically just big wallets, but they require multiple nodes to sign transactions. If for some reason a node messes up or tries to steal crypto during an exchange, its stake RUNE is burned. The validator nodes receive a portion of fees generated as yield. The network has two sets of nodes. The first, actively validate transactions, and the second are the B -team, ready to step up if a node goes inactive. The other important aspect of THORChain's network is its smart contract, threshold signature scheme, aka TSS, which allows multiple users to transact when certain thresholds are met. It's very similar to a multisig, but TSS takes it to the next level because it's blockchain agnostic. The THORChain ecosystem is robust, with 45 applications using the blockchain and supporting RUNE. You may have transacted using THORChain without even knowing it because wallets like Trust Wallet use the blockchain for cross -chain transactions. THORChain consists of Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Cosmos Hub, Dogecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, and others. And swaps between chains take merely a few seconds, but fees can vary depending on which blockchain you're using. There are a variety of exchanges running on THORChain, including the DEX that was launched on the multi -chain Chaosnet of THORChain in November 2020. AsgardX AsgardX has a multi -chain wallet and a desktop app version. Then there's VanaheimX, which was a fork of AsgardX. Gotta hand it to them for staying true to the Norse mythology. Finally, THORSwap made its appearance in 2021. Because all these DEXs use THORChain, you can get similar APY and other services from them. It's basically a matter of which interface you prefer. However, THORSwap has recently launched a lending platform, which we'll talk more about momentarily. So let's talk a little bit more about THORSwap. THORSwap allows you to swap over 5000 cryptocurrencies across 9 blockchains. To make an exchange, you deposit your crypto into the THORChain vault, and then THORChain automatically sends your desired crypto back to you. The platform is incredibly user -friendly. You just connect your wallet, select your desired assets for swapping, and you're able to transact cross -chain while maintaining control over your wallet keys and without knowing your customer. THORSwap uses arbitrage trading to help determine the price of assets for swapping. Arbitrage trading is when traders look at an asset's prices, buy the lower price and then sell at the higher price. This helps keep prices competitive on THORSwap. You can also provide liquidity to the network by staking and receiving yield. It's one of the few decentralized places that allow you to stake Bitcoin in its native form. Right now, they're offering over 2 % APR for Bitcoin, over 5 % for ETH, and 11 .5 % and over 20 % APR for USDC and USDT. Now, remember, staking is never 100 % safe, so make sure you do your own research and only stake crypto you're prepared to lose. 20 % APR doesn't matter if you're going to lose all your crypto, and anything that sounds too good to be true probably is. Although THORSwap may not have the same risk as collateralized companies like Celsius and BlockFi, it still has experienced hacks in the past and could very well be hacked in the future. Recently, THORSwap launched its lending protocol, which allows users to deposit a native token and take on a loan on that collateral. The loans currently have zero interest, no liquidations and no expiration. You may be wondering how THORChain is making money with zero interest and no liquidations. Well, THORChain has limits on collateral for each network and each pool. If you try to take out a loan, you may notice the loan amount is on the lower side. There are also slip -based fees when opening and closing a loan. Currently, THORChain is only accepting Bitcoin and ETH as collateral and require a minimum loan period of 30 days. Okay, so a little bit more about THORChain's native token, Rune and its tokenomics. Rune was originally available as a BEP -2 and ERC -20 token, but THORChain phased out support for those when its own blockchain went live in the summer of 2022. Rune is used for trading fees on THORChain. It could also be staked to provide liquidity for the platform. Rune isn't exactly a governance token, but when nodes stake Rune, they can influence THORChain's future. When Rune launched, 5 % was sold during the seed sale, 16 % during the IDO, 10 % allocated to development and 24 % given to users who bootstrapped the network, and the remaining 45 % pays the network nodes and liquidity providers. There's a 500 million total supply with the current circulating supply of just over 300 million. And at the height of the last bull run, Rune soared to over $20 and has since then settled back down to under $2. If you feel like picking up some room, you can get it on exchanges like KuCoin, Binance and BitGet or directly on ThorSwap. However, last week, THORChain paused trading on its platforms when it discovered funds connected to an illicit activity had made their way onto ThorSwap. Although it's a good thing the funds were discovered, once again proving that crypto isn't a good way to launder dirty money, the community was in an uproar that THORChain chose to shut down swaps without consulting them. They compared THORChain to centralized exchanges, which have acted similarly in the past and urged THORChain to take a page out of Uniswap's book because the Ethereum -based DEX has previously blocked illicit wallets without pausing trades. Well, that's all I got for you today, folks. And I'd love to know, are you a Rune holder? Have you ever used ThorSwap or other DEXs in the THORChain universe? Leave a comment below and tell us what you think of the project. I'll see you at the top.

A highlight from "California Governor Gavin Newsom signs Digital Financial Assets Law" Oct 16, 2023
"It's 8 a .m. Eastern, October the 16th, and this is your daily crypto report. Bitcoin is up slightly at $27 ,749, ETH is down slightly at $1 ,581, and Binance Coin is down slightly at $212. But yesterday, SPF's lawyers requested more Adderall for him for his ongoing criminal trial citing ADHD. They expressed concern that he couldn't concentrate at his usual level without it and wouldn't be able to give testimony. SPF has been receiving Adderall only in the mornings before the trial, but it wears off by the time proceedings begin. The lawyers proposed an extended release dose before court or suggested adjourning the trial if the medication cannot be provided. California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a crypto licensing bill known as the Digital Financial Assets Law set to become effective in July of 2025. Similar to New York's BitLicense, this law faced industry criticism but was passed by California's Assembly in September of 2022. It mandates the creation of a regulatory framework for crypto by the Department of the Financial Protection and Innovation, including a licensing system and enforcement authority. The DFPI has 18 months to ensure the framework aligns with industry trends and protects consumers. While Australia is planning to regulate digital asset service providers aiming to provide clarity and protect consumers, a platform with assets exceeding $1 ,500 for an individual or $5 million in aggregate will need to obtain an Australian financial services license. The consultation for this proposal is open until December 1st of this year. Some industry players view this as a step forward but hope that the regulation will accommodate crypto's unique characteristics to foster innovation. While South Korea's largest crypto exchange, Upbit, has received preliminary approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore to expand its digital payment token services, the initial approval allows the firm to continue providing services while awaiting the full license. Upbit sees this as a strategic milestone to strengthen its presence in Singapore, a key hub for digital asset innovation. And finally, Ethereum's validator queues have hit record lows. Entry and exit queues for validators are nearly empty, marking a significant change from May 2023 when over 90 ,000 validators waited over 40 days to join the network. Now the process is almost immediate. The recent changes in activation and exit limits allow the network to accommodate new deposits daily without long wait times. Despite lower staking yields, the requirements to become an Ethereum validator remain the same with a minimum stake of 32 ETH. Well, that's all for us today.

"Snapped in, hit that button, they signed in, and they connected their wallet, and next thing you know, they got drained from this Vitalik hack. Some people weren't patient, and they saw Vitalik tweet out a link, and they impatiently just snapped in, hit that button, they signed in, they connected their wallet, the next thing you know, they got drained from this Vitalik hack, everybody. But, it wasn't his wallet that got hacked. It wasn't his bank account that got hacked. But his ex-account did get hacked, everybody. Ethereum co-creator Vitalik Buterin's ex-account reportedly breached. Hacker makes away with $690k. Do they stop there on purpose? Almost $700k, folks. You can see he was leading to a left of $690k. As per Decrypt, the breach happened on Saturday. A post surfaced on his feed promoting NFTs from a software provider, ConsenSys, which turned out to be a scam link displayed to his almost 5 million followers and asked victims to connect their wallets to mint the NFT. Instead, the hacker gained access to the funds. I believe a couple punks got stolen, so most of what got stolen was NFTs, folks. So just got to be careful out there. Maybe people don't have a whole bunch of ETH on a wallet, but they have some NFTs, and so they're out there. They're just clicking things. They're linking things, and it didn't end up going well for those people. So you got to be careful clicking links out there, folks. I think it was a little bit of a FOMO. If I'm guessing what, if you see an hour-long post or, you know, and maybe, but when you see it's, you know, you refresh by following, and it's a 14-second link, you might go ahead and click that because, oh, you know, only 5,000. Maybe they go get claimed. You go on Etherscan. You see 17 people did it in the last two seconds. You're just going to FOMO in. You got to be careful out there. It happens. It does happen. It happens. I don't think that includes the values of the stolen punks. I thought it did. I'm not sure. We'll look more into that as this story has time to digest everybody. Just here to talk about, okay, Tim. Tim and the investing bros are out there, 9 to 10 AM, everybody. You can check that out. All right. Ethereum creator Vitalik, co-authors paper detailing method for weeding out dishonest crypto users. Here you see an Ethereum coin floating in an aquarium for some reason. Him and four additional authors detail how privacy pools can be useful in weeding out unscrupulous crypto traders. Oh, that's a pool. That's not a pool I would want to go into. Give me a bunch of chlorine. Give me some salt. I don't want critters and plants growing in there. In a lengthy thread, one of the co-authors, Amin Soleimani of Privacy Pools, further explains how the protocol works and how it can help issues experienced by users of sanctioned Mixer tornado cache, which is deemed a national security threat in 2022 and banned in the US. With Privacy Pools, users can publish zero-knowledge proofs that their withdrawal originated from an association set that excludes known illicit deposits. In theory, this allows users to prove regulatory compliance and still maintain privacy while using public blockchains. Paper concludes the privacy regulation may be compatible despite generally being perceived as contradictory. I have one issue with this. I guess you could put it as some sort of thing where an association set that excludes. But what's stopping someone from getting four ETH that is from stolen funds from the Lazarus group and then dusting everybody and dusting 10,000 wallets with the stolen ETH? Would you then, you know, render those wallets obsolete? Or what if it scaled up? And what if a million people did it a million times a day, what would that look like? So I don't know what that's going to look like. So we have this awesomely photoshopped picture right there. I think that was taken January. Anyways, SEC files appeal against Ripple as legal battle intensifies, levels allegations against Ripple, accusing the company of stalling resolution to preserve unregulated sales. SEC is urging the court to speed up the proceedings. Gary is saying, you need to get a green light, let's go. SEC makes a compelling case for streamlining the proceedings, emphasizing the imperative and efficient resolution. Meanwhile, Ripple stands firmly in opposition, invoking questions of law and strategy, saying, hey, guys, we need time to plan for our appeal here, while the SEC is steadfast in its resolve to scrutinize both, I think it's supposed to be programmatic sales, not pragmatic. Pragmatic just means that makes sense to do it. XRP fanatics would say it's always pragmatic to buy XRP. I think it's supposed to be programmatic here. Programmatic sales and other XRP exchanges for goods and services. Ripple, on the other hand, plans to deny the regulators a request for repeal. Why does this matter? The SEC's decision to appeal the ruling is a development in the ongoing legal battle between the agency and Ripple. The case outcome could have a major impact on the cryptocurrency industry, as it could set a precedent for how the SEC regulates cryptocurrencies. Guys, we're going to see more and more of these, you're going to have the, let me use this word right here. Yeah, I didn't want to say it because you're going to have a, it's basically a pickleball game. It's going to go back, it's going to go forward, it's going to go back, it's going to go forward. I don't have a law degree, because I don't have a, I can't explain to a five-year-old what this means. The SEC has filed its reply memorandum in further support of its motion to certify interlocutory appeal. Of course. When you say it like that, it just means, oh, of course. Basically what it means is, hey, stop, no you stop, no we stop. And then as we get closer to the real news, we'll start letting you know. But this is going to be a mini-month process, I don't see anything happening really, really quickly with this. All right, let's talk about the XRP market cap though. Is it up? Is it down? It's down. It is down. It's down big. Down big, folks. Bigly. Billions. Just one, actually. XRP erases one billion from its market cap in one week. What is this? Is this a towel? Is this a blanket? Is this a car cover? I was thinking the same thing. What is it? I want that swath of cloth. I don't know where it goes, but I just want that swath. Give me that swath. All right, as long as I can stop a moth from my swath of cloth, or maybe it's a cheese cloth for a broth. I don't know what it's for, folks, but anyways, let's get right into the story here. As the sell-off, we're going to go right into this, get ready, Kelly, get ready. As the sell-off continues across the wider cryptocurrency sector, XRP is no exception, having lost over one billion from its market cap in a matter of mere days, despite efforts to increase liquidity by unlocking a billion XRP from the Ripple's escrow system. Yeah, because let's increase liquidity by dumping a billion. That'll work, right? Whoa. No, I think maybe people saw that as a sell the news event there. From Ripple's escrow system and later relocking 80% into two escrows, guys, they dump, and then the escrow usually sucks up a portion. Most of it. But then when you're not looking, then when you're not looking, that escrow account will dump a little. It'll sprinkle a little here and there. You're like, wait a minute. This is really interesting. You know, I obviously looked really far into XRP's Soconomics when I did the XRP price prediction video, which was actually the best one of them all, and this whole bit about how they unlock a billion XRP every month, and then it's, you know, an X amount, whatever percent, normally it's more than 50%, normally 70, 80% gets sucked back into a different escrow account, but there is no determining why whatever amount gets pulled back. If anyone knows the answer to that question, please, by all, please let me know. It's Optics. I've thought about it. I think it's an Optics thing. Okay. It sounds really good. Look, we have, I don't know, what is it, 46 billion left, something like that, maybe, yeah, probably around 46, 47 maybe, they have 47 billion left and they dump a billion a month. That sounds pretty bad, but then when you interject this, oh, but we have this entity that just vacuums up 75% every time. It doesn't sound as bad, and also Ripple, they probably want to make some money selling some Ripple 49 months from now, 50 months from now, 60 months from now, 100 months from now, 200 months from now, and the way they do it is they just suck it into that escrow account. Right. But I'm just saying sometimes it's 70%, sometimes it's 80%, sometimes it's, there's no, I get what you're saying, but there's no rhyme or reason to how much they pull back, and that has always just confused me, especially, people want to project, what will the supply be by 25%, what will the supply be by 30%, and when you have really weird kind of random things like this, it kind of leaves a lot of us stretching our heads, like how are we supposed to figure this out, and the answer is you don't, because it's up to them. No, so you're wondering, like why do they leave 20% instead of 80% or 1%, I think they do a little bit of... They change it every, they do it once a month, and it's different every time, it's different every time. It's crazy. I think it's, they think what the markets can absorb. Right, that makes sense. Yeah. That's probably more of a gut feeling. Sure. It's just there's no rhyme or reason to the numbers. There's probably some math quant that they have in a dark closet, and they're like, all right, how many can we, all right, 248 million. And then they shut the door and they see him in 30 days. They throw some Vienna sausage cans at him, probably try to hit him in his head. All right. Refill his water. I like it. I think that's exactly what happened.

"Welcome to Discover Crypto, everybody. Today is September 11th. Yes, September 11th. It is 11.34am. You may notice a new change. A little different colors over here. Maybe a little bit of a different logo right there. But we still have the same squad. We still have the same people. We still got AJ. We still got Drew on the ones and twos in the corner. Me and Drew are one step closer to eating MREs. It's going to be fantastic. Guys, we're going to talk about SEC. We're going to talk about XRP. We got an ETH hack. Vitalik got hacked. Did ETH get hacked? Is all your ETH gone? So we're going to talk about the Vitalik hack. Also, FTX. What do they hold, everybody? But guys, we're going to have another video coming out pretty soon. Probably what? After the live stream. Do we know when that's going out, Drew? I'll have to check. We'll have to check. We'll have an answer by the end of the show. We have a video explaining a lot of things, explaining everything. We just hope that you watch it. We'll share it. When as soon as I get the tweet, I'll share it to everybody. But let's just get right into the show. Does that sound good to you, AJ? That sounds great to me. AJ, you look fresh today. You got the gel. You got the cool shoes on. You look tan. You look glowing. How was your weekend? I went to the first round of SMX in Charlotte, North Carolina, working for my weekend job, which is for Racer X Magazine. It's a very well-known motocross industry kind of thing. And I had an absolute blast. Caught up with a bunch of my friends. Spent way too much time in the sun, but hey, probably needed it. And the race was great. I'm excited. I might be going to the last round in two weeks in LA. Oh, did you see Johnny Crypto out there? Nope. He's the other motocross. Guys, we see Bitcoin is dumping. Okay, we're going to look at the charts pretty quickly. We might even bump it up a little bit just to get into it. Let's just pull it up. Let's just get right into the show, everybody. Yeah, you can see a fresh little dump. Let me hit refresh because, guys, it is not looking great on the short term. And even when you zoom out, you're going to see that we kind of broke some key levels. This is the 24-hour chart for Bitcoin. Currently, we're coming in at $25,118. But if you look at the 7-day, you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. We've been trading in this range. We spiked above it, but you just see that flat, flat range. And we go to the 14-day. In the 30-day, it looks even more sharp. Just hanging out, hanging out flat, and then we drop below. Let's go to the 30-day. You see, we haven't fallen below this level in a while. And if we keep going, you'll see even more of the same. Back around about 3 months ago, we dipped down into the $24K level. So as long as we stay above this area, I'm not going to feel super, super scared. Now, you see the dump, AJ. Are you feeling a little worried, a little fear here? Well, I know Kelly is doing TA, but Drew, if you go to my chart really fast, one thing I just want to point out is that this line right here, this yellow line, what I talked about last week, the $25,300 area, that is a super important support resistance line from way back here, right? And if we lose this line, I am pretty worried moving forward. Very, very worried moving forward. I'm probably looking to fall to $23,000s, maybe worse. But I've been saying it for a while that this line is my make or break right now. So let's hope for the best. And that's Marcus. Wait a minute. What do you got going? Is that trading view or a puddle filled with oil? I didn't clean it up, but this is Lux Algo. With Market Cipher, I run a lot of stuff. It looks like craziness to you guys, but it makes sense to me, but I'll clean it up for next time. It looks like the console from a 1980s sci-fi movie where they showed NASA desk. That's what it looks like. Let's look at the rest of the market here. We have Ethereum down as well. If we pull up this level, you can see we're now at $15.59, dropping down everybody. We do the same thing we do with Bitcoin. You see we're hitting some levels we haven't seen in a while. And if you go down, we're actually lower than we were three months ago. Bitcoin fell below where we were three months ago. Ethereum is, I mean, held above. Ethereum is falling below, so losing some key areas right there. The 180 day doesn't look better. But when you go to the one year, it doesn't look quite as bad. And it does the same thing for Bitcoin. You click on the one year, it feels bearish. We've been trading sideways. Everything just feels bad. But you click on that one year, kind of puts things in perspective like, okay, maybe it's not all over. Maybe we are on an uptrend on the long term here. All right, let's look at some more coins here. We have BNB down 3%, XRP down 5 whopping percent, everybody. It is down basically the whole week here, down 6.2%. Keeps growing by. We see Cardano finally broke out of that 25 cent range, been stuck at 25 cents. Now it is below. Am I going to look to buy some cheap Cardano? Maybe not. I might hold off and look for some different alts there. We have Solana down 2.3 and then TonCoin down 5%. We're going to go to the top losers and have an idea. This is not going to look great. The top gainers, probably going to be stable coins. I don't know. I haven't clicked it myself. Let's see what we got. We have one coin. No, wait, whoa, gold. Gold is up and optimism is up. I don't even know if we should count PAX Gold. So we have one crypto essentially that is up. That is optimism. And then we have a couple gold pegged stable coins that are down. If we go to the top losers, we have RollBit down in the double digits, everybody. I hope you pulled some profits because we are down 27% on the week. Arbitrum down 14% on the week and Apecoin down almost 14% of the week. Apecoin down almost 7%, Arbitrum down almost 10%. Huobi down as well. Radix. Radix always has to get in that top five of gainers or losers. And you can see you kind of hit the mark there. All right, anything standing out to you in the markets? Are you looking to buy some or are you looking to maybe see if we go down lower? I'm waiting to see what's going to happen, especially with the support resistance line on Bitcoin. I'm being patient right now. I'm being patient. I'm sitting out. Yep. All right. Well, some people weren't patient and they saw Vitalik tweet out a link. And they impatiently just snapped in, hit that button, they signed in and they connected their wallet. And next thing you know, they got drained from this Vitalik hack, everybody. But it wasn't his wallet that got hacked. It wasn't his bank account that got hacked. But his ex-account did get hacked, everybody. Ethereum co-creator Vitalik Buterin's ex-account reportedly breached. Hacker makes away with $690K. Did they stop there on purpose? Almost $700K, folks. You can see he was leading to a left of $690K. As per Decrypt, the breach happened on Saturday. A post surfaced on his feed promoting NFTs from a software provider, ConsenSys, which turned out to be a scam link displayed to his almost 5 million followers and asked victims to connect their wallets to mint the NFT. Instead, the hacker gained access to the funds. I believe a couple punks got stolen. So most of what got stolen was NFTs, folks. So just say you got to be careful out there. Maybe people don't have a whole bunch of ETH on the wallet, but they have some NFTs. And so they're out there, they're just clicking things, they're linking things, and it didn't end up going well for those people. So you got to be careful clicking links out there, folks. I think it was a little bit of a FOMO. If I'm guessing what, if you see an hour-long post or, you know, and maybe, but when you see it's, you know, you refresh by following and it's a 14-second link, you might go ahead and click that because, oh, you know, only 5,000. Maybe they go get claimed, you go on Etherscan, you see 17 people did it in the last two seconds. You're just going to FOMO in. You got to be careful out there. It happened. It does happen. It happens. Don't think that includes the values of the stolen punks. I thought it did. I'm not sure. We'll look more into that as this story has time to digest, everybody.

"Start watching. Okay, meanwhile, we have a massive crisis on our southern border. We spoke yesterday on the show with Mark Morgan former head of border patrol under Barack Obama. He says that we are looking at the possibility of almost 5 million illegal immigrants entering the country over the course of the last couple of years, and if we are looking at the current rates, we're talking about millions more entering the country in the very near future. Well, this would be an excellent time for Congress to allocate a bunch of funding and personnel down to the border to curb the illegal immense that would be like amazing. Unfortunately, Joe Biden has other priorities. So yesterday, Joe Biden announced that he would veto a House bill that aims to restrict asylum, build more border wall and cut a program that allows migrants a chance to stay in the United States. Republicans are looking to capitalize as immigration trouble surges into a national spotlight this week with the ending of title 42. You got to love the AP. It's always Republican seizing and pouncing. GOP lawmakers aim to vote on their secure the border act on Thursday. That is the same day the emergency expulsion powers expire, officials have already seen an increase in migrants at the U.S. Mexico border. They are bracing for far more right now. The legislation represents the GOP's first major immigration policy proposal since the Trump era. It's a 213 page Bill. It resurrects a bunch of Donald Trump's policies, like building barriers, along hundreds of miles of border country. In some cases, pushes beyond his efforts, it faces strong headwinds from some Republicans representing agricultural areas over E verify. But says Joe Biden, he is going to veto it. The White House office of management and budget said, well, we welcome Congress's engagement on meaningful steps to address immigration and the challenges of the border. This bill would make things worse, not better. Because this bill does very little to actually increase border security. I was doing a great deal to trample on the nation's core values and international obligations, so it should be rejected. What are the core values leaving the border wide open? Because that's basically what's happening right now. Essentially, you just line up to get in. And then we give you a date to show up for your asylum hearing, and then you just flee into the interior, and you never show up again. This is not particularly difficult. This is again why we have almost 5 million people who have entered the country illegally. That's the known God ways and people have been entered into the country via catch and release. Since Joe Biden took office, that has been like two and a half years. It's amazing. The GOP in the house is pairing a border security package with changes in immigration and reform rules. In an attempt to unite the right, the package is restricting legal pathways for migrants as well, which, again, makes some sense given the downturn in the American economy. Right now, but Joe Biden, he has his priorities. His priorities are, apparently, maintaining an open border. No, it's amazing about this, is that because no new legislation will be passed, Joe Biden is now relying on basically Trump era policies. All the same policies that he felt real bad when Donald Trump did them. Now they are good. You know who's noticing this, even The New York Times is now noticing this. Quote, in his final debate with Donald Trump on October 22nd, 2020, Joe Biden, excoriated his rival for radically undermining America's decades long tradition of welcoming people who seek asylum at the country's borders. Biden said this is the first president in the history of the United States that anybody seeking asylum has to do it in another country. But on Thursday, Biden's administration is expected to impose a very similar restriction on asylum seekers by quickly rejecting claims for most people who cross the border, but don't seek refuge in Mexico first. So it is a mirror image of Donald Trump's policies. In some cases, admits The New York Times, he has embraced his predecessor's use of aggressive measures, aimed at keeping a surge of migrants at bay along the southern border. Again, this is the way that the media coverage is always very effective on behalf of Joe Biden. So you just have to understand the kids in cages under Barack Obama, those were fun time play sensors under Donald Trump. Those were concentration camp holdings on par with Stalin or Hitler and under Joe Biden, they're back to being fun day camps. It is perfectly obvious at this point that Joe Biden has no choice, but to implement the same policies that Donald Trump did unless he wants to see a massive wave. A memo from the Biden Harris administration says quote, the Biden Harris administration plan is rooted in enforcement, but it also entails deterrence and diplomacy with other countries. After being blocked by court, the administration eventually did end the remain in Mexico policy. But they're now reimplementing it, basically. So well done by Joe Biden as always. Meanwhile, this is all necessitating that the governor of Texas activate the National Guard. The federal government is not doing its job. Immigration is a federal government policy and priority when they don't do their jobs, states are forced to step into the breach. And it's precisely what's happening in Texas. Right now,

Trent says, I'll cash go. Duos says, what it was to do was say, as for good sold Jeff I did? seeing Raymond Simon says hypno hawks put a two in the chat. Okay? A cup of cash with Dave burns is putting a one. Dave burns is saying that the pixel watch is competing against the galaxy watch. So here's my problem with the way that we have lazily defined smartwatch because I feel the data matters on what expectations we should have for an individual product and sales of an ecosystem of products. And I am kind of picking on 9 to 5 Google here just a little bit. So let's go back into the article. There we go. Reports that Google shipped 800 and 80,000 pixel watch units in the fourth quarter 2022. The first three months that the smartwatch was available for sale. It was enough to help Google keep the second place slot in the smartwatch market with 8% of the total shipment volume. That's behind apple's commanding lead of nearly 28% and well above Samsung's 5.9% market share. Okay, but we're talking about Google well I need to see by comparison Apple shipped just shy of 14 million smartwatches in the same period, while Samsung Xiaomi and Huawei hovered around 3 million. Samsung shipped over 3 million watches, but 880,000 pixel watches make it the second place in the market, but that's not even a million, so what we see is Google is second place because they own Fitbit. So Fitbit sold over 4 million watches. Fitbit sold 4 million watches, the pixel watches almost a million units in that one quarter. Now, to be fair, Samsung, I believe they're also counting all of the bands. So not every galaxy watch is a full smart watch. And that's why we've got to use this broad. But Apple doesn't ship any dumb bands. When we say the Apple watch sold 14 million watches in that period, they're all premium expensive, smart watches. They're none of them fitness bands. Samsung Samsung Huawei Xiaomi, they sell mostly bands and then they also have a few nicer fitness tracking watches and then Samsung has the galaxy watch, which is a true computer on your wrist wearing running wear OS and the same thing happens now when we staple Fitbit and pixel watch together, Google is selling. I think they're selling almost 5 million watches. That's awesome. I'm really glad. The majority of those are fitbits. We haven't even cracked a million pixel watches. So 14 million Apple watches against 880,000 pixel watches is the fair fight. Right? I'm no fan of Apple. Apple watch is one of the best products I've ever put out, the fair fight is Apple watch versus galaxy watch versus pixel watch. Not Apple watch versus fitbits. And pixel watch. It's where I really bothers me how we, how we try to quantify. This data is because I want Google to do well and I want to see the pixel watch succeed. I don't know that it can really get better as so long as they're stapled to Samsung for all of their SOCs. And it's really frustrating that Google and Samsung have denied fossil and tick, improvements to wear OS three because currently whereas three has miserable support for Qualcomm SOCs. Wear OS three supports old Samsung chips. Better than it supports new, more power efficient, more powerful Qualcomm chips. I feel that's wrong. I want to support wear OS, but I'm wearing an amaze fit because I want better battery life and right now I'm even sacrificing my need for better notification support because boy howdy is Samsung not getting that done. But I also really appreciated I don't know how you pronounce the name of this analyst canalys. I think is how you pronounce it. So if we scroll down to their overall market from 2021 to 2022, we've mostly seen growth. The company that took the steepest dive was Xiaomi, so they lost, they say 41% drop. But yeah, I mean, there's still in the top mix of some of the bestselling watches. And I think Xiaomi is still outpacing Samsung all watches and bands combined. But I love seeing this breakdown because we see big bar graphs for Apple. We see smaller bar graphs for Xiaomi Huawei Samsung, Google, we see actually kind of a decline, but increased sales of the pixel watch have helped Google plus Fitbit kind of keep their position. But then if you look at the whole rest of the wearable market, it dwarfs apple in this. There is still huge opportunity. We have not hit a plateau point on fitness bands and smartwatches. Recently, we've been talking about how Bluetooth earbuds are kind of hitting their peak. They're kind of plateauing as an accessory that manufacturers can make more money on. We're now not finding new consumers to buy Bluetooth earbuds, we're now just going to be selling Bluetooth earbuds to the same group of consumers as they're older earbuds wear out. Which is always been the sort of hook of true wireless. True wireless earbuds will never last as long as a good cabled pair of headphones. Because they have batteries and little electronic components. You've got to manage a case. All of those things are built to wear out faster than a really nice pair of earbuds that you can replace the cable. Like I've got, you know, I've got a couple on my desk.

"Had to be operated on. Of Muhammad is her aunt, who tells us Fatima's mother died in the quake. The UN launched an appeal for $397 million to help the almost 5 million survivors in the rebel held area. Now to the war in Ukraine, Iran has apparently been sending weapons to Russia that have proven to be devastating for Ukrainians. Now we're learning the U.S. may be about to turn the tables on both Russia and Iran as we hear from WTO national security correspondent JJ green this morning. The Wall Street Journal first reported this and we've spoken to others since then to confirm that the U.S. Military is considering sending thousands of weapons seized and more than a million rounds of ammunition once bound for Iran backed fighters in Yemen to Ukraine. This would be an unprecedented step that would help kief battle Russian forces. U.S. officials said they're looking at sending Ukraine more than 5000 assault rifles, 1.6 million rounds of small arms ammunition, a small number of anti tank missiles more than 7000 proximity fuses. These were all seized recently off the Yemen coast from smugglers working for Iran. The challenge here is the Biden administration needs to find a legal justification for taking weapons from one conflict and transferring them to another because the UN arms embargo requires the U.S. and its allies to destroy store or get rid of these seized weapons. Security correspondent JJ green this morning, at least three people are dead in New Zealand this week in the wake of the cyclone Gabriel. The storm brought extensive flooding and landslides. For four hours, a group of Orchard workers waited on the roof of a farm building in the hawks bay region as the floodwaters rose. They were finally rescued by a helicopter. Hundreds of New Zealanders have similar stories of escape. Officials say the storm has moved off the coast and that the worst is over. But their warning conditions are still dangerous.

"Still a rescue operation. The search team that came here from Israel said. This is just a recovery mission. But no matter what they're all dedicated to getting everybody out of that pile of debris. I found an amazing that they were able to Efficiently and safely take the remaining part of that north tower right down and I believe that was because out of out of being concerned about if not, Elsa. Some storm coming along, and you wouldn't want it to fall down the remaining part of that tower that way, so they took it down. Uh, he's an actor taking that down. Are they saying Rory that actually helps in the recovery effort? Well, it does. You know they were so worried about that thing falling down on its own in some direction at any minute. They they sort of always had, you know one eye over their shoulder, looking for a quick exit after hearing that building creak and groan and crack, so now that it is down, they can just fully get to work without worrying about that falling debris also concerned that just left rooms Some say the 8th 9th 10th 11th floor to the open air So we'll strip when we come along. Suddenly knock a lamp down or a shoe or some knickknack that something comes down and after you know, an eight storey fall is a dangerous piece of flying debris. We still don't have a solid reason for this happening, do we? Not exactly, But there is a consensus. I think, though, that it was the pool deck on this facility that failed that went into the parking garage underneath underground and then that brought down brought down some of the structure now whether or not it was poorly maintained Pool deck whether or not the structural columns were Weakened because of decay. That's all under investigation. Plus whether or not there was something else could it have been? You know, the ground underneath the building gave way. You know the residents there is certainly said, and complained about seawater intrusion in the parking garage for a long time, so I don't know what perhaps it was something under the building that washed out, so that's all that will be looked at, and they'll get a better view. As this debris is cleared out. They've already moved almost £5 million of concrete from the scene. One of the theories, I heard, uh, fact it was last night it was out Los Angeles It was a talk show host was was talking about a theory that there was a flaw with the way they mix the cement in that tower and that when you you cement Rory in these buildings, you have to infuse a certain material that strengthen cement because some men is very brittle. And you have to do that. You hear anything about that? Well, you know, this is a 40 year old building. The building codes are different now than they were back. Then I have heard that they do want to look at this. Sometimes they change that mix in order to save money. But yeah, that's this concrete falling, though, has been a bigger issue. That's when the ocean water in particular or that sea breeze gets into the rebar. It rusts and then when it rusts it expands, and that causes the concrete to pop. So that's the other lead theory here, based on the water, but it's all going to look at they will it be analyzing the concrete?
