A highlight from GARY GENSLER CALLS ALL CRYPTO SECURITIES AHEAD OF CONGRESS HEARING & SEC RIPPLE XRP APPEAL
"Welcome back 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 such as Spotify, Apple or Google, please leave a five star rating and review. It supports the podcast and it doesn't cost you anything. Well, folks, I want to start with news around scumbag regulator Gary Gensler. Tomorrow, SEC Chair Gary Gensler will be testifying before the U .S. Senate Banking Committee. And there will be two hearings this month that he's going to be appearing at. And tomorrow is the first. At the end of the month, he'll be testifying before the House Financial Services Committee. I think that's the one that's going to have the most fireworks the last time. It certainly did. Gary got a lot of grilling from Patrick McHenry and a whole bunch of other folks. So I can't wait for that one. So we'll see if he gets any pushback tomorrow. But ahead of his testimony tomorrow, he released a letter. And of course, he's reiterating the same old bullshit about how all crypto tokens are securities. And here's one of his quotes. Given this industry's wide ranging noncompliance with the securities laws, it's not surprising that we've seen many problems in these markets. Now here's what Taylor Barr of the Digital Chamber of Commerce had to say regarding those statements from Gary. Without clear rules of the road and notable regulatory gaps, it's not noncompliance. It's navigating uncharted waters. Yeah, I think we've seen this time and time again. Gary continues these false narratives. We know the market does not have clarity. We're seeing the judges and the courts. The judges are also like, what is the SEC calling a security? You can't even say which ones are security and which ones are not right. They're just the SEC is just throwing anything at the wall right now. And Gary continues lying. This is why we have to keep fighting folks. And we have to tweet. We have to use social media to our advantage. We have to make content. We have to contact our representatives. Now, Mike Selig, who is a crypto and a fin regulation lawyer at Wilkie Farr. He tweeted out some items regarding Gensler's letter. Chair Gensler says the vast majority of crypto tokens meet the investment contract tests. Now, former chair Clayton said every ICO is I've seen is a security. This is similar rhetoric, but different meaning. Unlike Clayton, Gensler says tokens themselves are securities. Judge Torres disagreed. So we know the Ripple ruling was certainly important for case law, highlighting Gary's lies and his false narratives. And even goes back to the Howie case where I've interviewed Hester Peirce, SEC commissioner, where she said she's trying to tell the folks there not to focus on the asset, but rather how it's packaged. So in the case of Howie, it wasn't the oranges, right? It wasn't the trees and the orange groves and all of that. It was rather his investment scheme, because if it was the fruit and the trees, that means every orange tree today is a security. All the oranges in the supermarket and that you have at your house is a security, which is nonsense, obviously, right? Because these tokens, folks, they exist on decentralized blockchains and they are distributed globally. They're outside the United States as well. Right. And you can't get the same rights as stocks. If you hold a token, you don't have voting rights in the sense of having equity and shares of the company and things like that. So it's not a security, but rather how it's packaged. That's the key. That's the differentiator. But Gary Gensler continues his lies. So we got to fight. Let's see how this hearing goes tomorrow. And if he gets pushed any type of pushback, I'm hearing a lot of Democrats and as well as Republicans, of course, are not happy with Gary with how he's doing things with the crypto market. Obviously, him taking a big loss with Grayscale and Ripple is significant. And I hope Coinbase mops the floor with this clown Gensler. And then I hope he gets he gets forced to resign. Now, the SEC is, of course, trying to file an appeal with the Ripple ruling. And here, attorney Frederick Foley shared some thoughts about that. He said, XRP community, SEC made decent arguments and Ripple countered them. Well, certifying the appeal is a discretionary standard. Judge Torres can do whatever she wants if she determines the three statutory conditions are met and there is enough wiggle room for her to certify, he says. But as I predicted earlier, I still say the likely outcome is she does not certified mainly because of the prejudice to the humans involved. Brad Garlinghouse and Chris Larson, without the claims against them, I would have to say 100 percent chance she certifies. Lastly, this case has a political element. So if that is a factor for Judge Torres, I don't think it is, but it's not without reason to think the opposite. She can avoid that issue by certifying and putting the onus on the second circuit as the court can simply deny the request. So we'll see. I don't think the SEC has any chance here. You know, once again, they can go ahead and file the appeal. Nothing wrong with that. But will they actually get it through and get something done? I don't think so. I think Gary Gensler has lost the narrative. Optics look very bad for him. And I can't wait to see what the ruling will be with the Coinbase situation. And I think another loss will be really bad for Gary Gensler. Now, a quick word from our sponsor, and that is Uphold, which makes crypto investing easy. I've been using Uphold since 2018, so I can certainly vouch for this platform. They have 10 plus million users, 250 plus crypto currencies, and they're available in 150 countries. You can also trade precious metals and equities on this platform, as well as 37 national currencies. You can swap between different currencies with precious metals and crypto currencies. It's pretty unique. So if you'd like to learn more about Uphold, please visit the link in the description. All right, folks. Now, with Ripple acquiring Fortress, which is the custodian, and this was a big move by Ripple, of course. Well, some details are coming out that Swan Bitcoin's custodian was Fortress and that Fortress was hacked, apparently. And some customer funds were lost and Ripple in their acquisition had to step in to cover the customer losses. This is wild. Now, you may say, who cares? Well, Swan Bitcoin is run by a bunch of Bitcoin maxis. Max Kaiser supports it. The other guy, Corey, I forgot his last name, but these guys are toxic. I mean, they're going around calling everything a shitcoin. They're attacking other coins. They're always, you know, just doing nonsense. It's like their M .O., right? That's the persona they've taken over. But a lot of people recognize it. They're just just toxic, man. Just disgusting people. And lo and behold, the irony, folks, that Ripple came and bailed them out. Right. And apparently this was confirmed because Mike Belshi, who was who is the CEO of BitGo, who I've had on the podcast many times, he confirmed some of this and that the folks at Fortress Trust have not been clear about the lost funds and things that have been happening. And it's spilling over to BitGo because BitGo's clients are calling and saying, hey, what's going on here? Right. What's with the breach and all that jazz? So it's a mess right now. So it's pretty incredible that these Bitcoin maxis got bailed out by Ripple.

A highlight from Could This Cause Ethereum To 20X? (XRP Settlement Coming?)
"You know who's the star of 2021? Some say it was Ethereum. Ethereum, you know, blew up, had huge, huge gains, outsized relative to Bitcoin, but then when it fell, also fell outsized relative to Bitcoin. Well, it looks like ETH is trying to get another ETF on the board here. You know, got a lot of companies that started with Bitcoin, and now we have VanEck officially starting the clock for a spot Ethereum ETF. Bloomberg expects more ETFs to be filed in the coming days. The race for the spot ETF has officially begun after the Chicago board options exchange will ultimately start the clock for an SEC decision. Let's see, they filed these to be listed on CBOE's BZX exchange as the Chicago board options exchange and a pair of tweets. Looks like as opposed to the previously submitted filings, this filing means that the countdown is now in motion. The race is on saying, guys, this is a long, long deadline for now. We're not talking about next month. We're not talking about next week. We're talking about March of next year, three, two, three, three, two, three, two, four. No, no, five, two, three, two, four there. Keep scrolling, keep scrolling. ARK Invest and 21 shares teamed up to file the S1 of the SEC on the 2021. They were trying to do this years and years ago, but now maybe the SEC might take it seriously. On the 17th, SEC reportedly singled its intention to approve Ethereum futures products, while several firms including Grayscale and BlackRock are currently fighting to get the spot Bitcoin. So we have ETH futures, spot Bitcoin, and now we have spot ETF in the process right now. All right, so what is going to happen, though? Some people are saying approval is inevitable. You know what's also inevitable? The fact that you're going to hit the like button Hurry, hurry, I'm starting to count down three. You only have two seconds to move the mouse. You feel that? Oh my God, it's just a huge wave of relief and awesomeness just crashed over your body. All right, let's talk about this approval, though. Approval is inevitable. SEC Insider primes crypto market for a $15 trillion Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP price ETF game changer. These major cryptocurrencies could be headed into one of their biggest ever months. The one crypto watcher has said it's going to be crazy. He said it's going to be like a movie, man. Last night was a movie. Now, former SEC chair Jay Clayton has said eventual approval of a spot ETF is inevitable following the SEC punting a decision on the ETF filings from the managers who looked after a combined $15 trillion until October. Looks like he's maybe looking at the fact that they punted the ball. They didn't go forward on fourth down. That's for you, football fan. Maybe because they didn't say no, and they said, I'm going to kick the can down the road instead of saying no, he's saying a yes is inevitable. That's the signaling of the kicking of the can down the road. But it's not all roses. It's not all balloons and clown faces for Ethereum. There was a hack in this summer reporting. This is the largest fishing hack in history for Ethereum, at least. Looks like this crypto whale lost $24 million and staked Ethereum to a phishing attack. Looks like they were transferred into the fully automatic exchange fixed float. Never heard of it. Here we have Joaquin, Joaquin dancing down the stairs. Cryptocurrency whale has fallen victim to a massive phishing attack, losing millions in staked ether on the liquid staking provider Rocket Pool. According to Peck Shield, Fisher subsequently swapped the stolen assets for just regular ether and then a little bit of tokens here. So we cashed out 1 .6 million of it. According to scam sniffer, the victim enabled token approvals to the scammer by signing increase allowance transactions. Allowance permissions are a feature of ERC, which enables a third party to have the right to spend some tokens that belong to a different owner using smart contracts. Observers have warned against risk associated with approving allowances, noting that developers could deploy malicious smart contracts to scam you. The news comes after at least five liquid staking providers imposed or started working to impose a self -limit rule in which they promised not to own more than 22 % of the Ethereum staking market. They reportedly include Rocket Pool, Stakewise, Stater Labs, and Diva staking. So they're going to try to self -regulate themselves and become a little bit more decentralized, but just be careful out there. We're going to talk about a hit network employee that fell victim to recent loss of crypto. And that'll be at the end of the show, though. You're going to want to stick around for that. AB, you don't have to put me on blast like that, Deezy. Too late, AB. I just did it. Did it again. 787, 150 thumbs ups. Where are we right now? Are we at 169? We're at 159. We're about to cross 900 on concurrent. But yeah, 160. Definitely can get up over 200 very, very quickly. All right, Jason Foley. Deezy will be the man and one of my favorites. Hey, even though I'm folically challenged, I appreciate that there. All right, that was a bad one. That was a stretch. That was a stretch. All right, let's talk about Ripple. And then we're going to have that Ripple prediction. We're going to have a lot of fun with this, seeing the CTO. What is the secret roadmap for Ripple? We're going to try to guess. All right, but first, the chair lab slams Biden and Gensler off the top rope and to the announcer's table. Wait, no, no, no. Just slammed him verbally for having screwed up on crypto. The legal system is set to bring the crypto industry back into the game after the Biden administration screwed up its crypto policy. According to the founder, Chris Larson, one of the richest people in crypto. We're covering that in ATB. I think it comes in as number four or something like that. Four billion in Ripple assets, I believe he has. Larson also commented on the latest court judgment in favor of Grayscale over its application to convert its Bitcoin trust into a spot Bitcoin ETF, noting it really admonished the SEC in a way you don't really see very often. Basically saying the SEC, they use language you don't ever really see in this legal proceedings. It's going to be boring, verbose, legalese, real pellets and this and that. And it's legal, this mumbo jumbo. Now we came out with like a strong dissenting opinion, basically, you know, in slandering their name almost. It's like they drug them out on the front page TMZ, but this is like the legal version of it. I sincerely hope we're seeing the beginning of the end of the SEC's policy of regulation by enforcement. The courts are rejecting it. Now it's time for Congress to take the lead on crypto policy.

Russia issues arrest warrant for Lindsey Graham over Ukraine comments
"Russia has issued an arrest warrant for a U.S. senator. Russia wants to arrest senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina after what he said about the war in Ukraine. Graham met with Ukraine's president zelensky on Friday, zelensky's office later released an edited video in which senator Graham says the Russians are dying and describes U.S. Military assistance to Ukraine as the best money we've ever spent. Senator Graham appears to have made the remarks at different times in the conversation, but the short video by Ukraine's presidential office put them next to each other. It caused outrage in Russia.

A Review of Steven Berkoff's Role In "Beverly Hills Cop"
"Else needs to be said about this movie, Chris. Let's talk about any what my old colleague used to say, stray voltage. Let's talk about Steven berkoff. Now, Steven berkoff is a British actor for some reason Hollywood loves people with a British accent when it comes to playing villains. I have many, many times been offered by those who don't have the power to do so to be the next Bond villain. Miss broccoli, I'm available. You can find me online. It's said gorka dot com. I am available. But Steven berkoff, who kind of is known for having invented a very aggressive style of theater in the UK it's called actually colloquially in your face theater, a bit of a brechtian kind of guy. He ends up in Hollywood. He did this, then he was the evil Soviet commander in Rambo two. Him and his henchmen atelier, pretty good casting, don't you think, especially the henchmen who kills axel's body in Detroit? Yeah, yeah, yeah, Mike Ehrmantraut from Breaking Bad. I don't know if you watched Breaking Bad. I consider it one of the greatest shows ever made. Michael Ehrmantraut, one of the scariest henchmen. Seriously. Well, he's not really a henchman in Breaking Bad, but he's this, I don't know, he's like a hitman or something. We get his backstory later in Better Call Saul, but in this show, he's a very young man, but he still looks pretty dang old. He managed to do that. But yeah, he has this sort of gravitas to him. And then you're a guy whose name fails me. Steven Burke. Burke off, Stephen broke off. I mean, as soon as you see him in this movie, and this is pretty early on in the film, axel foley is a good detective. And he just knows I got to get right in this guy's face. I got to shake things up. I got to introduce myself and let him know him on his on his tail here and looking into him. And you get a sense of this guy, and he has got the visage, the visage. I don't know what the word had to pronounce that. He seems very much to me like a Bond villain.

Some Big Names Were Offered Roles "Beverly Hills Cop"
"Script was around Hollywood for about 7 years before it was actually greenlit. And let's talk about some of the choices of who was going to play axel F go ahead, Chris. Okay, well, the biggest one was, of course, the great Sylvester Stallone. Yes. He was going to play excellent. And he wanted to make this movie into something far more serious. And I mean, obviously everybody involved in the project was like, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. This is not a this is a comedy. This is not going to be like a dangerous film. You've got to have this cute little wink with the blond here in the car. You know what I mean? Everything has to have a wink to it. Everything has to be a bit of fun. Yes. No. But you know what I think this is my theory, I think that Sylvester Sloane looked back on this film and said he missed out on something. I think in his mind he thought he missed out on something not doing the comedic version because he did end up doing the serious version of Beverly Hills cup, which was called cobra. He made his own film called cobra. Right, so go ahead. Well, I think that he felt like he missed out on doing the comedic Beverly Hills cop version, and he realized it was a great film. So then he went ahead and he did a film called demolition man, which was a much lighter film, but very similar to Beverly Hills cop when you think about it. A movie which, if you watch it now, has predicted a lot of the things that we now see as wokeness. If you don't remember demolition man, if you thought it was, you know, wasn't funny. Watch it now, and you will think that it was the script was written by Nostradamus. So here's the development history of this movie. So the people they consider didn't offer it to, but they considered for axel foley Al Pacino and James Caan, they offered it to Mickey Rourke, they paid him $400,000 not to do any movies and keep him on ice. That expired and he said, guys, I'm going to keep your money but goodbye. Then they offered it to Harrison Ford. He refused Harrison Ford and along comes Stallone and Stallone. Well, like he does with many things, he just rewrote the whole script. He wanted to quadruple the budget, the end scene would have been him driving playing chicken in a Maserati with an 18 Wheeler. They said, we've only got $12 million. We can't make this movie, and they finally placated him and they said, okay, we'll make a movie where you're like, you know, fine machine guns and cleaning the city up. But it's going to be a different movie. That was cobra. I think we have the post of cobra. A very different movie, not with a lot of humor in it.

"Guys, I'm happy to welcome back to the podcast. before, doctor Michael foley. He's a theologian, Professor of patristics in the great text program at Baylor university, Professor of theology at the Aquinas institute, but I love these titles of his books, drinking with the same drinking with saint Nick and the politically incorrect guide to Christianity. We're going to talk about his book called dining with the saints, I think a very appropriate topic on Saint Patrick's Day. Doctor foley, thanks for joining me. Great to great to have you. I think you can see I've got the appropriate. I don't know if this is the right shade of green, but as you can imagine, I'm not really. Well, I'm not Irish. I guess I could maybe I should change d'souza to oh, Sousa. And then I then be I then be, I could then play the baby I identify as Irish. Okay. These days we're allowed to do that sort of thing. Talk to me about Saint Patrick's Day. It's a day, I didn't have any knowledge of before I came to the United States, and who was this guy with Saint Patrick, the guy who was who evangelized Ireland, is he what brought these crazy Irish people into the folds of Christian couldn't have been an easy task and that he did he used some large buckets of alcohol to get the job done? Well, he was a real person and you're absolutely right. He was the person who brought the faith to Ireland, there was an earlier missionary actually who tried and ran from the place screening. The iris was such a hard nut to crack. But he got a commission from the Pope to bring the faith to Ireland and by all historical accounts he did. He almost single handedly within his own lifetime, turned an entire island from being druids, which was a very dark and sinister religion into Christians. So it really is a singular accomplishment.

Oh absolutely and vice versa. I find that a lot of what i have learned through my performance through my stagecraft through Just being a performer has helped me in everyday life Because i come across as having this gregarious and very outward personality. I think a lot of people assume that i'm an extrovert. But the reality is i'm an introvert. I am very very uncomfortable in social situations. I really don't like crowds or small talk and mingling and so to be able to draw on some of that performance aspect or even take on a character of you know Sean tyler fully performer actor Is a quite quite a joy. As opposed to tyler who you know really actually More reserved than i think. Most people understand that it's it. It's interesting that you can play both sides of that.

Oh yeah no that is a that is a cartoon version of me. It's exaggerating but everything is just exaggerated just slightly and rounded exactly and. That's what i tend to do with myself is that there's me but if i have to do any kind of public engagement i'm going to exaggerate some of those features about me to better represent what will serve that audience best You know it's not a. It's not changing who i am. It's just accentuating certain features and bringing them to the forefront. I wanted to just jump right in with the thought and a comment. But then i realized i needed to let it breathe because what you just said was really impactful. And it's the idea of you.

Another time chris gotten to a sticky situation creating a sound for slammer in the original ghostbusters. They wanted to gooey sound but it couldn't be too wet. It had to be more gooey. So we mixed jello honey oatmeal. I think we had a few shami's in there. We had this big goup of stuff on the floor and we got so dirty and it was all over us by the end of it. But i'll never forget. We just kept adding elements to change the texture feel so funky spangler beckmann flight. Save some for me. Some things that are easy to normally can sometimes be really hard to record. Cooking scenes. are just the hard when you have to do chopping. Because you can't look at what doing so you're looking at the screen and you're chopping of vegetable and you're hoping that you're not going to chop finger off and pouring things into cub pores can be really difficult. Some eating scenes general sometimes can be really difficult.

You don't eat meat of any. I is that for health reasons. The sounds that chris and alison create often. Go well beyond what you'd actually here in real life. If you are actually to hear a real nascar car crash it wouldn't sound very dramatic. He just sounds very dead plastic. So what we do in fully is. The artists will hit corridor and make it sound bigger than life. They'll even spice up the sound of someone drinking water a lot of times. If you pay attention in real life you see somebody drinking. It doesn't really make a sound. And i'll prove it to you right now. I'll just drink normally. This is what it sounds like. Not that exciting. But usually what i do when somebody's drinking out of a bottle. I changed it up and i do this. Which as you can hear. I'm sucking in air. And i've got my lips on the mouth of the bottle so that it gives that effect because we have to make it sound like something or else. It just won't sound at all. I consider that one of the most dangerous cues to do in foley because they actually have to kind of breathing air at the same time they're doing sipping and you can show very easily on their own. Some of these sounds might seem exaggerated but once it's melted into a final mix. They tend to fit perfectly with foley and sound effects. There is dialogue. And there's music and there's all these other elements that you need to kick those sound effects through. So i think that's why it's just over the top a little bit. Chris will do something and the editor might say. Oh that sounds too big crystal Plate with dialogue and then sure enough it just lays in their beautifully. Here's a clip.

Sounds like a nice house harwood. The other one sounds a little more hollow. Maybe like an upstairs.

Their partnership was born out of a long tradition of having fully artists. Work in pairs. I know a lot of supervisors back in the day would prefer a man and a woman fully artist because they preferred women to walk women characters and men to walk men characters. Because there's obviously a different way. They walk having a partner also helps to lighten the workload. Fully is very physical. You're moving all day for an eight hour time period and for one person. It's draining both mentally and physically because you're creating all day long and it gets very taxing and so the ideal situation in my opinion is to have to foley artists to create minds working. I don't even think so much. It has to be a man and a woman because we've gotten so good at changing roles. My idol was a woman named kim alone and she was a tiny little dancer. But she walked.

Can you change your shoes. I also changed sink. I can add room for doing car. Crashes things like that body falls.
