A highlight from Intelligent Assistant to Manage Salesforce Orgs with AI, Launched, Metazoa Podcast
"This is Doug Green, and I'm the publisher of Telecom Reseller, and I'm very pleased to have with us today Jennifer Mercer, who is the CEO of Metazoa. Jennifer, thank you for joining me today. Thanks for having me. So you guys are a pioneering Salesforce tool developer, and you have a very interesting AI announcement. Why don't you tell us about what you just released? Okay, so yes, we are a Salesforce ISV partner. We work with Salesforce's largest customers, Fortune 100, Fortune 500, and we've been around for a little while working with automation on technical debt cleanup, org splits, mergers, But recently, obviously, we've launched something with AI, it's very exciting, we're very excited about it. When as soon as ChatGPT released our developer version 3 .5, we just went heads down and started working on it with our product. It is all throughout our product. We work with Salesforce as org management, and it is very practical, it has very practical uses for that. It's just the nature of org management and the nature of our solution in general. It just works very well. So we launched our metadata studio, which is a, it has your intelligent assistant. And we have our prompt engineering platform, which has over 100 prebuilt prompts that can be edited, and Salesforce admins and developers can also create their own prompts and share them with their teammates. So, Jennifer, if you're using Salesforce, why do I need this tool? So, Salesforce orgs, it is well known that there's been a lot of development and innovation, which is great, but that left a very complex, messy org behind. And these customers are dealing with crippling amount of technical debt, they're hitting all their apex limits. They're struggling to even find the technical debt or detangle it, it's very difficult to do that. So when we launched Metazoa, we started tackling that problem. And we created, everybody's using the same set of APIs, except for we created our own dependency API. So we can see a lot more than Salesforce or any of the other partners or any of the GSIs where the customers can see. And we work with Salesforce customers to really get in there and find, for example, there's kept hitting their apex limits. And Salesforce raised the limit, they hit the limit, they raised the limit, they hit the limit, they're about to hit the limit again, Salesforce said no more, you got to figure this out. They have worked with the GSI for about two years, nothing was done, it didn't move the needle. They sent us in there, we were able to create a report to find all the forgotten assets of apex classes, find out which ones were being used, which ones hadn't been used in years, which ones were dummy classes. And our reports are actionable within the product. So you go in there and you find all that, then you can go and actually remove it in product. So it's not just giving you a report and then you go back into your org and try to do that manually. It's all automated. So our goal was to automate all of these services that these customers are trying to do themselves or use cobbled together products to do this for release management and DevOps, or they're going to a GSI or an SI partner to try to do it manually.

A highlight from 1410: Bitcoin Will Hit $10,000,000 Per Coin - Binance CEO CZ
"In today's show, I'll be breaking down the latest technical analysis. And also I'm going to be sharing with you a 48 ,700 Bitcoin price target, pre halving according to a top analyst. Also did you know it was exactly six years ago today, China tried and failed to ban Bitcoin for the second time and ever since the Bitcoin price action is up 600 % and the mining hash rate is back at all time highs. Also quitting Max Kaiser, Bukele has restored the human rights to 7 million Salvadorians that have been taken away by murderous runts, the British and American state, a 93 % approval rating tells the story of the most popular leader in the world. And now Bukele -nomics is being copied around the world as a blueprint for freedom and justice preach. Also in today's show, Mt. Gox repayments delayed yet again. Creditors are waiting on Bitcoin, Bitcoin cash and Yen payments until next year in 2024. We'll also be discussing, according to this latest report, Coinbase currently holds 5 % of the entire Bitcoin supply in existence. That's right. While Coinbase holds 25 billion in BTC, the exchange only owns around 200 million in Bitcoin and its wallets. We'll also be discussing the catalyst, which will catapult the Bitcoin price action. According to skybridge capitals, Anthony Scaramucci will also be discussing the latest with the Binance CEO CZ setting the record straight on $250 million loan claims. That's right. The US court had recently denied an inspection plea by the SEC. I'll be breaking down this latest FUD and speaking of CZ, the Binance CEO predicts the Bitcoin price will reach $10 million per coin. In fact, a couple of years back in an interview, he said, if all of the major institutions allocate 1 % Bitcoin, we're going to see 1000 X or more growth of the Bitcoin price. And if you run the math, 1000 times today's price action is 26 to $27 million per BTC. We'll also be taking a look at the overall crypto market, all this plus so much more in today's show. Yo what's good crypto fam. This is first and foremost, a video show. So if you want the full premium experience with video, visit my YouTube channel at crypto news alerts .net. Again, that's crypto news alerts .net and welcome everyone just joining us. This is podcast episode number 1410. I'm your host JV and today is September 23rd, 2023. So welcome to another sat stacking Saturday. Let's kick it off with our market watch as we do here each and every day, seven days a week. We can see Bitcoin back in the green trading above 26 .6 and we also have ether back in the green trading at roughly $1 ,600. The market cap is sitting at 1 .06 trillion with roughly 17 billion in volume. In the past 24 hours, we've got Bitcoin dominance at 49 .1 % and the ether dominance at 18 .2 % as Bitcoin continues outpacing Ethereum and checking out the top 100 crypto gainers of the past 24 hours, we've got theta lead in the pack up 7 % trading just under 64 cents followed by rocket pool up 4 % trading at $21 .63, followed by chain link up 4 % trading at $7 .18 and checking out the top 100 crypto gainers of the past week, we have WeMix leading this pack up 15%. We have PLS up 8 .2 % and XRD up 11, I mean 7 .4 % and checking out the crypto greed and fear index, we're currently rated a 47, which is neutral. Yesterday was a 43 in fear, last week also a 43 and last month a 41 in fear. So there you have it. How many of you have been stacking M -Sats and taking advantage of the recent dip in dollar cost averaging? Let me know. And how many of you are anticipating Bitcoin price action to maybe dip a little further south before packing some new positions? Let me know how you feel with the current status. And also just quick reminder, we're almost at the end of September historically, September is the worst month out of the entire year for the Bitcoin price action, but it's always followed by up tober, which is historically one of the most bullish months for Bitcoin. So we only have another week until we get out of September. So we'll see how this is likely to play out. Let's break down today's Bitcoin technical analysis. Bitcoin failed to reclaim 27 ,000, though we came close. It stalled at 26 ,500 as of right now. Meanwhile, the altcoins are in no better shape with minor losses coming from most of the larger cap ones. With Chainlink, the only one with a notable price increase. So last week was expectedly less volatile, aside from the brief spike on Saturday that pushed Bitcoin then to the multi -day peak of 26 ,400. But after failing to continue upwards, Bitcoin retraced at 26 ,000 and spent the rest of the weekend there. Then Monday didn't start all that positively either, but finished the way. Bitcoin went on the offensive and soared above 27 ,000 for the first time in weeks, but then shortly dumped after. But the bulls kept the pressure on and pushed Bitcoin to a new 20 -day peak at 27 ,500 on Tuesday. The next few days were rather calm with Bitcoin maintaining 27 G's, even after the US Fed's decision to stop raising the interest rates. Yet Bitcoin's momentum disappeared by Friday as it fell to 26 ,400. It even tried to bounce off the end of the day, but failed and currently stands at 26 ,500. Its market cap is south of 520 billion, while its dominance over the alts still just inches shy of 49%. So there you have it. And as we mentioned a little earlier, the altcoins, a lot of them are also in the red with the exception of Chainlink, which seems to be outpacing the rest of the major alts. Now for a prediction from Titan of Crypto, here's what he shared on X. Bitcoin 48 ,700 before the halving rocket ship to the moon. You might want to bookmark this one. Fam, never in history the halving occurred without Bitcoin reaching the 78 .6 % Fibonacci retracement level. So first off, first cycle price reached this four months before the halving, and the second cycle it was two months before, and then on the third cycle it was 12 months before. The next halving is now roughly six months away. Bitcoin might reach the 78 .6 % Fibonacci level within this period as it currently lies at 48 ,700, but the million dollar question remains, will this time be different? So as we enter this fourth halving, let me know where you feel the Bitcoin price action is likely to hit before we have liftoff. I mean, obviously that would be a bullish scenario setting us up for a perfect price discovery in 2024 post halving. So I cannot wait. I hope the analyst is right. And if you didn't know, it was exactly six years ago. China tried and failed to ban Bitcoin for the second time because guess what? You can't ban Bitcoin. You can try. Good luck with that. And ever since the price action on the King Crypto is up 600 % and the mining hash rate continues to hit all time highs. And as you know, hash rate is a good indicator for the strength of the network, meaning the market cap is just north of only $500 billion. And as Max points out here, referring to Bukele, he has restored the human rights of 7 million Salvadorans that have been taken away by murderous runts. The British and American state, a 93 % approval rating tells the story, the most popular leader in the world. And now Bukele Nomics is being copied around the world as a blueprint for freedom and justice. Massive shout out to Najib Bukele and the people of El Salvador. Which country do you feel is likely to adopt Bitcoin as a legal tender next? Let me know your honest thoughts in the comments below. I feel it's going to be another Latin American country. I'd say a great candidate for that is Argentina, which has hundreds of millions of people. We have Javier Malay, the pro presidential candidate. There is a 70 % chance plus that he is elected as the president. And we already know the likelihood he could make Bitcoin a legal tender, especially being orange -pilled by Max Keiser, who is the senior Bitcoin advisor for President Bukele. As Max has already announced, he can't wait to touch down in Buenos Aires to orange pill Javier Malay. Then we also have Mexico. We have people like Ricardo Salinas, the third richest man in Mexico, very pro Bitcoin, claiming Bitcoin has been his best investment ever because, again, Max orange -pilled him back in 2014. Then we have Brazil and so many other countries that make Bitcoin a potential to become legal tender. And we all know that's going to be a game changer. And that's just another catalyst on top of the Bitcoin halving scheduled in six months in 2024, plus the approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF in the United States. So can you say fireworks lays ahead? Let's go. Now let's discuss the latest more bullish news, meaning Mt. Gox is going to be delaying these payments, which means no crypto is going to be dumped onto the open market anytime soon, which again is good for the hodlers. Check it out. Now we got Nobuaki, the Mt. Gox trustee in charge of the funds owed to the exchange creditors, updated the public on September 21st, two days ago, according to the trustee, because of the lengthy discussions with specific payment providers, he could not make the October 31st deadline. That was the initial deadline, fam. And because of this reason, the repayments will start next year. And so they say, quitting him here. Therefore, with the permission of the Tokyo district court, the rehabilitation trustee changed the deadline of the base repayment, the early lump sum repayment and the intermediate repayment from October 31st, 2023 Japan time to October 31st, 2024 Japan time, respectively. By the letter of the Kobashi details, the Mt. Gox creditors waited nine years for payments. Good Lord. Currently, they're owed one hundred and forty one thousand six hundred and eighty six BTC plus one hundred and forty two thousand eight hundred and forty six Bitcoin cash and sixty nine is that billion yen. Good Lord. I'd love to know what that equates to in dollars anyways, though the delay has been extended. The creditors who have completed their claims might receive the payment by year's end, quoting them again. Rehabilitation creditors who have provided the necessary info to the rehabilitation trustee will see the payments made in a sequence as early as the end of this year, according to the letter. However, this schedule could change. Kobashi also said that due to the high volume of inquiries regarding the process, the rehabilitation team might not respond promptly. Well, that doesn't sound so promising, but I guess it's a good sign that most of this cash is not going to be dumped off any time soon, as there's a lot of FUD that's always circulating. The Mt. Gox, you know, sell off is going to crash the entire market. I think that is very unlikely and is nothing more than FUD. And again, we're gearing up for the most bullish sentiment in the four year cyclical cycle amongst us in twenty twenty four. So versus being in fear, I would be very optimistic about what's to come for the king crypto and the crypto market as a whole. But what are your thoughts, fam? Let me know in the comments right down below. Now let's discuss the largest crypto exchange in the United States. Clearly, it is Coinbase. The CEO is Brian Armstrong. But did you know, according to this latest report, they currently control and own over five percent of the Bitcoin in circulation. That's pretty hefty. And let's break this one down. And how many of you have used the Coinbase crypto exchange before? Let me know in the comments below. Here we go. Blockchain intelligence platform ARKAM recently identified the crypto exchange Coinbase holds almost one million Bitcoin in its wallets like, whoa, the coins are worth more than twenty five billion dollars at the current prices. Now, according to ARKAM, the exchanges holdings amount to almost five percent of all the existing Bitcoin. ARKAM said Coinbase holds a total of nine hundred forty seven thousand seven hundred and fifty five BTC. And at the moment, Bitcoin circulating supply is around nineteen million four hundred ninety three thousand five hundred thirty seven, according to coin info on CoinGecko. And as ARKAM shared here on X, ARKAM now identified twenty five billion of Bitcoin's Coinbase reserves with one million, approximately Bitcoin on chain. This makes Coinbase the largest Bitcoin entity in the world on ARKAM, with almost five percent of all the Bitcoin in existence, almost as much as Satoshi Nakamoto. Crazy, right? Furthermore, ARKAM noted that it has tagged and identified thirty six million Bitcoin deposits and holding addresses used by the exchange. And according to ARKAM, Coinbase's largest cold wallet holds around ten thousand BTC. And based on the exchanges financial reports, the intelligence company believes that Coinbase has more Bitcoin than are yet labeled and could not be identified. And while Coinbase holds over twenty five billion worth of Bitcoin in its wallets, the exchange only owns around ten thousand of all the Bitcoin in which it holds, which is roughly two hundred million dollars, according to the recent data. Meanwhile, community members express varying reactions to the news about the amount of Bitcoin on the centralized exchange in which they hold. Some believe it's a sign to withdraw their Bitcoin from the exchanges, warning hodlers not to wait until the exchanges start to halt withdrawals. Others say that since there are legitimate concerns over cold wallets, there is no good way to store your assets. I'd like to chime in real quick. Obviously, if it's not your keys, it's not your coins. So while a custodian such as Coinbase can hold your crypto, you've got to also note that it's not yours. So if something were to happen, hypothetically, like we've seen with FTX and the collapse last year, then not your keys, not your coins, they don't belong to you at the end of the day. So you've got to start to weigh the risk reward with having a custodian such as Coinbase or a centralized exchange hold your coins versus taking the responsibility for yourself and learning how to self custody your own crypto and call storage such as with a Bitcoin cold wallet, such as a treasure. So I just wanted to point that out. There's no right or wrong way to hold your crypto. You've got to do what's in your best interest, of course. So, you know, I mean, just want to keep it real at the end of the day. So check it when it comes to Bitcoin ownership by companies, business intelligence for MicroStrategy still owns most Bitcoin. I believe it's over one hundred and fifty two thousand eight hundred BTC, to be exact, worth over four billion dollars at the time of this recording, making them the largest publicly traded company to have Bitcoin on their balance sheet. Now, another major company that controls over six hundred thousand BTC is Grayscale in their GBTC product, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, which they just recently had a lawsuit against the SEC with the plan to convert their trust into a spot Bitcoin ETF. So considering they already control the underlying asset in the sum of over six hundred thousand BTC makes them a pretty strong contender. Wouldn't you agree? Let me know your thoughts, fam. And now let's break down our next story of the day and discuss the Bitcoin price likely to catapult along with the altcoin to coin to SkyBridge Capital, Anthony Scaramucci. Let's break this down. Shout out to the Mooch, SkyBridge Capital founder Scaramucci is detailing how one catalyst could have a bullish impact on Bitcoin, as well as the alt. In an interview with the Wolf of Wall Street, Scott Melker Scaramucci says that a spot Bitcoin ETF could be approved in the first quarter of twenty twenty four, which seems to be a ninety five percent likelihood, according to top ETF analyst at Bloomberg, Eric Balchunes. So according to SkyBridge Capital founder, the approval of the spot Bitcoin ETF and the Bitcoin halving, which is expected to occur in April of twenty twenty four, could combine to ignite a crypto bull market. No, it's not. It could combine. It will combine. Just saying. Quitting him here as Wall Street or products on Wall Street are sold, they are not bought. And so there is going to be tens of thousands, if not one hundred thousand plus people at these Wall Street firms selling these products to their traditional investors. So people that are in Bitcoin understand the finite supply of Bitcoin, right? We all know there's a finite limited supply, 21 million, and they understand the nature and the quality the Bitcoin has. This will push Bitcoin up. Of course, it will have a dramatically positive effect on the altcoin market because it will lead to more capital into digital properties so people can think whatever they want. They can think short term about the near term volatility of Bitcoin. But these macro positive factors are overwhelming. And according to Scaramucci, the potential approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF filed by giant asset managers such as BlackRock, who controls over 10 trillion in assets under management and Fidelity, that controls over four and a half trillion in assets under management, can see Bitcoin increasing its market cap by roughly 24 times from the current level. We'll send it. Let's go quoting the Mooch here. It is important that now the largest asset manager in the world who started out with some level of skepticism related to digital assets and Bitcoin is now willing to adopt Bitcoin. I mean, I guess they mean BlackRock is willing to adopt Bitcoin, but even more important than that, they're willing to explain to their clients. I think BlackRock now has 13 trillion dollars in assets under management. So for them, seven trillion for Fidelity. While these numbers are higher than I even imagine, while their clients need exposure to digital property like Bitcoin. And so we have a five hundred billion dollar plus market for Bitcoin. So you and I know gold is at 12 trillion ish, depending on where it's trading. But yes, 12 trillion. There is no reason why Bitcoin couldn't get gold. So there you have it. And to watch this video interview he did with Scott Melker entitled 37000 Bitcoin. Can it skyrocket 35 percent? Check the show notes below the video in the description. And I think we all could agree it's only a matter of time before Bitcoin returns to price discovery mode, virtually meaning entering new all time highs. My personal prediction is sometime in 2024, considering the two biggest catalysts, which we just covered, the Bitcoin halving and Bitcoin ETF approval, which we know is going to be a given, especially considering the SEC is not going to be able to push it back and push back that deadline any longer because, you know, they just they have been pushing it back now for 10 years while they continue to approve futures ETFs, which can allow them to spoof and manipulate the market, which is all by design. At the end of the day, there's not new under the sun and three things cannot be long hidden. The sun, the moon and the truth. But just saying. Anyways, fam, now let's discuss the ongoing fight against CZ, the finance CEO with this 250 million dollar loan. And then I'll be breaking down his 10 million dollar price prediction and in fact sharing a transcription of him claiming that Bitcoin can thousand X from the current price, which would ultimately mean not 10 million, but we're talking twenty six to twenty seven million dollars per coin. Let's break this down. So here we go. First, with the FUD, the Binance CEO, CZ Shangping Zhao had refuted a recent report alleging that he received the 250 million dollar loan from BAM Management, the company that serves as the holding entity for Binance US. Now, how many of you have used Binance US or Binance before as the exchange? Let me know, fam. The development comes amidst Binance's struggles with plunging trading volume as the world's largest crypto exchange faces mounting lawsuits and increased scrutiny, regulatory which seems to all be by design by the SEC and the regulators. Right. The report published by Decrypt September 19th drew its conclusions from court documents associated with the ongoing lawsuit involving Binance and the United States. SEC, according to the news agency's interpretation, the Binance US legal representatives asserted in the documents that BAM Management US Holdings had issued a quarter billion dollar convertible note to CZ back in December. CZ, however, challenged the accuracy of the report when he tweeted the following. The amount of wrong information is just they got the direction wrong. I loaned 250 million dollars to BAM a while back, not the other way around, and have not taken it back. The Binance CEO clarified that the loan arrangement was, in fact, the opposite of what was reported in the post. The exec explained that he had extended a 250 million dollar loan to BAM Management and asserted that he had not yet received the payment. So there's nothing new under the sun. Just more FUD, it seems like, fam. The legal battle has taken a toll on Binance US, which saw a flurry of employee departures. The US SEC alleged that Binance was not cooperating in the ongoing probe and even claimed that BAM refused to make essential witnesses available for deposition. Concerns were also raised on CEFFU, which happens to be a custody service offered by Binance's international arm, Binance Holdings Ltd. The SEC's filing claimed that the platform appeared to be in violation of a previous agreement designed to prevent the transfer of the assets abroad. And despite the scathing attacks by the financial regulator, Binance scored a small win this week. The SEC's motion to approve an inspection into Binance US was denied by the USDC District Judge, Zia Farokhia. So there you have it. I mean, the ongoing FUD will more than likely continue, as obviously Binance is the largest crypto exchange in the world and regulators seem to have a problem with them and want to go after them for whatever apparent reason. So, like I said, hopefully in the end, you know, truth is revealed and the real story versus all the FUD and, you know, the manipulation of the price action and all the shenanigans we continue to witness in the market. And with that being shared, now let's dive into the Binance CEO, CZ and his 10 million dollar price prediction, as well as him predicting that Bitcoin price action could even a thousand X from here, sending the Bitcoin price parabolic to 26 or even 27 million dollars per coin. Let's break this baby down, shall we? Here we go. JV, have you ever heard of him? A crypto YouTube influencer from Crypto News Alerts remembered CZ's prediction. You're damn right I did. The Bitcoin would reach 10 million per coin. JV referred to the statement in a recent video uploaded on YouTube where he analyzes various aspects of the Bitcoin market development. Now, JV looked back at CZ's Bitcoin prediction while analyzing the Bitcoin CEO's recent Twitter comments. And in a Q &A session on July 5th, CZ addressed several issues, including Binance's reaction to the ongoing regulatory scrutiny. He also spoke about the rising interest of institutional investors in crypto currencies, as well as the proposed BlackRock spot Bitcoin ETF. CZ made the 10 million dollar price prediction back in 2021. In fact, I have the article already pulled up and I'm going to be reading word for word what he shared. Following MicroStrategy's announcement, allocating Bitcoin for the corporate strategy, CZ based his analysis on the possibility of several corporate companies, major institutions across the world, allocating just one percent of their corporate treasury into Bitcoin. And according to CZ, that would lead to a thousand X growth in the value of BTC. JV highlighted CZ's welcoming approach to institutional investors in the Bitcoin ecosystem, and CZ noted that advantages in traditional finance firms they bring to the crypto industry, despite concerns about their intentions clashing with Bitcoin's decentralized nature. And according to JV, CZ identified two key factors driving Binance's strategy for the next 18 months. They include the upcoming Bitcoin halving event now less than six months out, as well as, you know, we could be seeing a Bitcoin ETF here in the near future. The Bitcoin community expects the next halving to occur in April of 2024. Now quoting CZ word for word from the initial interview he made on Bloomberg Radio predicting a potential 1000 X increase in the Bitcoin price action. So here's what he had to say. Right now, I think only 11 companies again, this is right around the time that MicroStrategy announced putting Bitcoin on its balance sheet. They announced having allocating some talking about Bitcoin, like usually less than one percent of their corporate treasury to Bitcoin. And we think that it is most likely what caused the initial price rise. I think MicroStrategy's Michael Saylor started it first, but there are six hundred and fifty thousand companies in the world, like relatively established companies in the world, and their treasury is huge. Preach. So if all of them talking about these major institutions only allocated just one percent to Bitcoin, we are going to see, I don't know, 1000 X more growth in the Bitcoin price. And if they allocate more than one percent, then it's going to be even bigger. So I think people don't quite get the magnitude of the wave that is about to hit us. Now, let's run that math one more time. Fam, today's price is roughly twenty six thousand five hundred times that by one thousand. He's talking about a twenty six and a half million dollar Bitcoin price action. The potential if they only put one percent of their strategic reserves into Bitcoin, you do the math. If it's five X and five percent, what are we talking? One hundred and twenty million dollar Bitcoin price. Just saying this is coming from CZ, the world's richest man in crypto. So very powerful words indeed. Let's get back to this prediction of what he shared. So the finance CEO estimates that the flagship crypto can go up anywhere from nineteen hundred percent to twenty thousand percent from the current price levels from the time he made the prediction. And he goes on to share with price predictions. It is really, really difficult. I think it can go to, I don't know, one million dollars, ten million dollars. It is very hard to tell. And again, if we literally did a thousand X from today's price, we're talking twenty six and a half million per BTZ. So CZ also reveals that the exchange is onboarding new users as an at an unprecedented sustained rate during the bull run, outpacing its user growth during the twenty seventeen bull run. So again, this was during the twenty twenty one bull run. Here's what he had to share. Just to give people the idea, in twenty seventeen, when Bitcoin hit the peak of about 20 G's, we were seeing three hundred thousand new registered users per day. And that only happened for a couple of days. And that kind of trailed off and became slower. Now we're seeing sustained new user registrations above the peak and sustained like for over two to three months. So could you imagine running the world's largest crypto exchange and having over three hundred thousand new registered users every single day for like 90 days straight? That is insanity. And that's the previous market. I think twenty twenty four is likely going to outpace the previous market as Bitcoin becomes a common household name and as Bitcoin game theory continues in full effect. You have presidential candidates making Bitcoin a big determining factor. We have people like Ron DeSantis, Kennedy Jr., Javier Malay over in Argentina. So naturally, it's just going to create more commotion and positive catalysts for Bitcoin as we move forward into twenty twenty four. So, I mean, fireworks are ahead. Let me know how you feel. We're likely to finish out this year by December of twenty twenty three. Where do you feel the Bitcoin price action is likely to be? And don't forget to check out CryptoNewsAlerts .net for the full premium experience with video and to participate in the live Q &A. And I look forward to seeing you on tomorrow's episode. HODL.

"So we're dealing with the red day the hangover from last night's FOMC meeting It's like a delayed reaction to what Jerome Powell said last night We're gonna have to talk about what Jerome Powell said because at the time when he was speaking Nothing happened to markets But afterwards what we realized is exactly this we realized that what Jerome Powell did last night was he may have actually broken the market What is it that he said that actually scared people and why is it that right now if we look at Bitcoin? Here we are. We are at twenty six thousand five hundred and forty. You remember before FOMC last night. We were at twenty seven thousand four hundred We thought we were gonna get a pump We also touched the top of the Bollinger Bands and now we're gonna come down if we start coming down again to the bottom of the Bollinger Bands we could go back down to Twenty five thousand one hundred and fifty five. So what did he do? What did Powell say? What did Powell do that has set off this reaction that has set off the Dixie look at the Dixie The Dixie is now had one two, three, four, five six, seven eight nine We are in the tenth green weekly candle for the Dixie and to make matters actually even worse if you go into the daily the Dixie has just had a golden cross now You know what a golden cross is the golden cross is the opposite of the death cross When you have a death cross usually prices continue to go down when you have the golden cross That's when prices usually go up and I'll take you to the last time that we had this golden cross Look what happened to the Dixie. So what did Powell do? Why is the market responding the way the markets responding we need to talk about that I'm also going to show you something now and then I'm going to tell you that I'm going to tell you why I'm showing it To you so first of all I want you to watch this because this is probably the most important clip that you will see today Channel where we critique attack and under. Hello there you awakening wonders now This isn't the usual type of video we make on this channel where we critique attack and undermine the news in all its corruption Because in this story, I am the news I've received two extremely disturbing letters or a letter and an email one from a mainstream media TV company one from a newspaper listing a litany of Extremely egregious and aggressive attacks as well as some pretty stupid stuffs like my community festival should be stopped that I shouldn't So that's right That's Russell brand and that's the beginning of something that he said and we're gonna talk about it And I know you don't know it now But I'm gonna show you why that is the only Reason in the world that you need to go out and actually buy a Bitcoin today It's the most important nature actually gonna do I'm gonna link it back to the Russell brand story. That's gonna be Saying that we must talk about today This is a story that that cut me deep and we have to spend some time talking about Russell brand Getting potentially cancelled and why that means that you and I need to buy Bitcoin absolutely immediately Then I'm going to show you a brilliant brilliant brilliant trading to the training tool that's gonna change your life I'm gonna show you how I made one East in less than one hour and you can make one East in less than one hour Too I want to talk about a new blockchain the blockchain is that blockchain over there, which is a combination of Solana Cosmo Celestia and Bullrun or be a catalyst for the next bull run then lastly if you want a hundred bucks for free what you need to do is stay tuned until the end of the show and So to get the show going I want to thank the community who sent this to us Bull runs coming back bull runs coming back bull runs coming back bull runs coming back Bull runs coming back bull runs coming back I need crypto banter Give me crypto banter I need crypto answers Hey Hey Go Stack it up on my nose I'm getting obese from this East I've been buying more Sip coffee bean on my screens The crypto show I'm a bull under gold I'm turning these bears into ghosts Snap at school That's the crash course Crypto man runs in a fast Porsche So much news and research I'm just glad for it Spewing all this alpha we go mad for it Crypto banter I need crypto banter Give me crypto banter I need crypto answers You like it? Let me know in the comments if you like it I'd make it Obviously community members sent it to us Thank you thank you thank you If you were the people that sent it to us We will give you guys a thing I mean initially I didn't like it But then the whole day I was like Crypto banter baby Crypto answers Someone says this song is terrible Yeah well you let me know what you think Listen first of all I want to apologize to you guys I want to apologize On behalf of Jerome Powell For giving us the most boring FOMC Meeting of our lives I feel that we all wasted about two hours Of our time last night In fact the most exciting Part of the whole event last night Was watching the Subscriber count on our new channel So this is our new channel Called Crypto Banter Plus If you're not already subscribed to Crypto Banter Plus Go and subscribe to Crypto Banter Plus Because we're gonna have a whole lot of Trading videos here Annie's trading videos My trading videos Sheldon's trading videos And a whole lot more content here And as you subscribe What you'll see Is that we've made this little counter To see how everybody subscribes How do you subscribe?

"With Bloomberg, you get the story behind the story, the story behind the global birth rate, behind your EV battery's environmental impact, behind sand, yeah, sand, you get context, and context changes everything. Go to Bloomberg .com to get context. If you're looking at the S &P 500 in particular on a quarterly basis, it's on pace for its first quarterly loss actually in a year, so next week will be the final week in the third quarter. Yeah, we should point out, of course, for the S &P 500, a down week to be sure, in fact, setting up here for what looks like it's going to be the worst week that we've seen in quite some time, erasing all of the gains for the month of September, erasing all of the gains that it had in the month of August, and erasing all of the gains that it had in the month of July. So this is a market that effectively has gone nowhere since that phenomenal run through the first six months, and now here on this Friday afternoon, here on September 22nd, the S &P 500 posting its worst weekly decline since March 10th, a two -tenths of a percent decline on the day, about a three percent decline on the week, the Dow Jones Industrial average down three -tenths of a percent here on the day, while the NASDAQ composite is going to finish fractionally lower by about a tenth of a percent, and the Russell 2000, that was your relative laggard here on the day, down three -tenths of a percent, setting up for what looks like it's going to be the fifth straight week of declines. Yeah, a little perspective in terms of where we are in 2023, you've still got a NASDAQ 100 that's up 34 percent, an S &P that's up about 12 percent, it is really the small -cap universe that continues to lag, Katie. It's just up, what, about, I don't know, eight -tenths of a percent here on the year. And if you take a look under the hood of some of these indexes, and you take a look in particular at the industry groups, there's a lot of red, there's not a lot of green for this Friday. You can see up at the top, you do have some of the chip makers, the semis, getting a little bit of love up by one percent or so. Then some of those tech hardware names also managing to stay green.

Telecom Reseller
A highlight from Beyond the dashboard: HumanFirst uses AI to offer a highly customized view, enabling better decisions, Podcast
"This is Doug Green and I'm the publisher of Telecom Reseller and I'm very pleased to have with us for the first time, Greg Whiteside, who's the co -founder and CEO of Human First. Greg, thank you for joining us today. Thanks, Doug. It's a pleasure to be on your show. Well, as I was just mentioning in our run up to recording this podcast, it's very rare for me to be able to do a podcast where the word human is anywhere in the title of even the podcast or the title of the company or anywhere. So that's a kind of refreshing new things. You're a relatively new company. You're in the AI field, but I think you're doing something very interesting and exciting in the AI world. So we're going to be jumping in on that and looking at that in just a second. But first, what is Human First? Human First is a data productivity suite for text and conversational data. So we help teams make sense of large amounts of unstructured data and turn it into very actionable insights that help drive their product and strategy, and also build AI projects faster by leveraging the data that they have. Now, you said something I haven't heard before in our discussion before we started our podcast, the search for use case zero. What's that all about? So I was talking about use case zero in the context of large language models and specifically how enterprise can leverage large models today in repeatable use cases. So since the since chat GPT came out, Human First, like all companies, looked at the impact that it would have on us and where things were moving. We had a lot of great insights already in terms of the conversational AI, and in general, text AI, and started really trying to understand what is the most repeatable high value use case that we believe any enterprise customer can apply large language models to today. We've heard from our customers and from a lot of other companies that this is a very high priority for them, their boards, you know, to show that they're embracing and that they're leveraging this technology. But a lot of the use cases that we saw were very experimental and hard to, you know, hard to do in a repeatable way. So we've been really focused on making sure that we understand what is the most repeatable high value use case. And this use case zero, we think, is really around using large language models today to make sense of large amounts of unstructured data in ways that weren't possible before with technologies like natural language understanding or, you know, even even more basic than that keyword search or semantic search. So you were telling me that your your major customers consist actually of enterprises, is that right? Yep, that's right. So we work with customers across all verticals from financial sector to medical sectors to telcos. And we work also with a lot of consulting management companies and agencies. So Greg, why did they turn to you? So our customers all share the same problem. They're interested in building and improving their customer experience with automations with AI. Some of them have deployed and productized some products, and they reach a certain point where they realize that the AI models are not the limiting factor anymore. It's the quality of the data that they're preparing and that they're using to train the AI that becomes a bottleneck. So our tool helps those teams really work efficiently on that unstructured data and make it very useful for training AI. Now with large language models, what we're understanding as well is that it's not just about training AI and building automation. If you can help organizations make better prioritization calls around what should be automated, what are the problems that can be solved with AI, and what is the best way to tackle those problems, you can see even bigger efficiency gains. So we're helping teams not only improve the quality and the speed with which they develop AI, but also make better decisions in terms of what should be automated by starting from the ground truth, which is in their voice of the customer and other conversational channels. So Greg, could you give me an example of maybe where you started working with an enterprise customer and sort of before and after kind of thing? Yeah, absolutely. So one of our customers is one of the largest last mile delivery companies, not only Canada, they're also working in the United States. So they're very strong partners with Amazon, do thousands of deliveries every day, and their contact center staffed by humans and with very little automation. So they came to us because they know that in certain periods of the year, there's a lot of influx of calls, and ultimately, they want to improve the customer experience and the automation levels. But they weren't sure, like a lot of call centers out there, exactly what the problems are, but mostly be able to prove out almost the business case for those and the ROI before even starting the project. So what we saw is they really wanted to have a data driven kind of approach to identifying what are the top opportunities for automation or product improvements, because it's not all about AI, it's also about identifying, you know, opportunities within the operations or product itself. So with Human First, we're able to ingest all of their contacts and all their call data, and very, very quickly build a very custom taxonomy of the call drivers, but also more deeply than that, the resolutions, actions taken by agents within the calls, you know, with the use of large language models, which allow us to do this analysis at a higher level than, you know, the raw unstructured data itself. And this allowed us to bring, you know, to surface some really, really key insights around some major blockers or friction points that affected, you know, over 30 % of the calls that they had, that with simple automation that we can show the functionality of, because we have all the flows and the edge cases in the conversations to show how you would solve it, you know, leads to a very big reduction in terms of time spent by the agents. So this is the type of project where, you know, with the right data -driven tools like Human First, you can start from the data and look for opportunities or problems to solve. And we did this really successfully with this last mile delivery company, and they're currently automating those flows that we brought to them and expect, you know, millions in ROI from that work. Now, was there an impact, let's go a little bit deeper on this, was there an impact on employee experience? Let's start there on EX. Yeah, so to be transparent, so the part of the project and what we bring is really this data -driven decision engine saying, here are the opportunities, here's the detailed, you know, analysis showing what are the different ways that you're going to need to be able to automate this particular, you know, within the contact center platform, which happens to be Amazon. So I'll be able to report on the, you know, end user experience from that particular project probably within a few weeks. Right. And that'll be the CX part, the customer experience part. Exactly. Yeah. You know, stepping back from that specific example, though, it sounds like this is the human part, that the human being that called in, the human being that's actually taking the call, the idea basically is everybody's having a better experience due to the automation. Is that the idea? Everyone is having a better experience if the friction points that can be, you know, within that conversation avoided, you know, lead to higher quality interactions afterwards. So to give an example, for this customer, I was talking about a really big part of the conversations was about figuring out the customer's ID and validating the user. And there's really, you know, much easier ways to do that than via human conversation. But it doesn't mean that the rest of the conversation can't be human to human. In certain cases, it's necessary. So, you know, Greg, how does this offer value to the enterprise at the end of the day? We're seeing enterprise really need to look at their data under a very custom lens. What we're solving in a sense is that a lot of the a lot of the products out there that help companies make sense of their data are very top down in black box, in a sense, they're really favoring speed and simplicity, kind of like a one click, put in your data one click, and will give you visualizations and dashboards. What we know is that that's not very actionable. And the reason is that those dashboards and insights are very hard to tailor automatically to your specific business and needs. So with a tool like ours, the real value prop is that we help build an extremely custom view into what's happening within the organization. And that in turn helps drive really data driven decisions and identify opportunities that you might not even have known you had. And we're really going from a lens where AI is a tool, but not every problem should be solved by AI. In certain cases, improving the product itself or parts of the operation will have a much bigger impact than automating the customer's requests later on. So what ultimately we want to help companies do is almost replace the customer support by fixing identifying and fixing problems upstream. And that's really done when you're able to have such a very custom understanding of what's going on and the data to back up the solutions to solve them. So that was very interesting that the ROI eventually is really maybe in the finding out of something you weren't even looking for. Exactly. And I think that's where our tool is very agnostic to the use case you apply it to. You can apply it to explore data, to improve AI training data, and to apply exploration to different types of data. And it's true that I think the biggest ROI you can bring to an enterprise is to help them tap into something like that data that they were never leveraging before. And that has a multiplicative effect, I would say, within the organization. And organizations that we're working with are building this data practice of centralizing their data and of disseminating kind of the value across different projects. And I think it's hard sometimes to measure the direct ROI of that. But clearly, we believe that it's this data that holds a lot of value for enterprise companies moving forward. Well, Greg, I really want to thank you for joining us and giving us a first look at Human First, and an interesting look at doing AI a little bit differently and approaching this challenge in a very different way. Where can we learn more about Human First? Yeah, I invite you to come to our website, www .humanfirst .ai, reach out to our team, there's a contact us button. And yeah, we'll be very, very happy to run you through the platform and to talk about your needs. Well, I hope to hear more good things from Human First in the future. I hope we do get to do this again and get an update on what you guys are doing. But for now, I want to thank you for joining us today. Thanks, Doug. It was a real pleasure. Thank you for having me.

AI Today Podcast: Artificial Intelligence Insights, Experts, and Opinion
A highlight from AI Today Podcast: AI Glossary Series Analytics, Data Visualization, Descriptive Analytics, Diagnostic Analytics, Predictive Analytics, Proscriptive / Projective Analytics
"The AI Today podcast, produced by Cognolytica, cuts through the hype and noise to identify what is really happening now in the world of artificial intelligence. Learn about emerging AI trends, technologies, and use cases from Cognolytica analysts and guest experts. Hey, AI Today listeners. Want to dive deeper and get resources to drive your AI efforts further? We've put together a carefully curated collection of resources and tools handcrafted for you, our listeners, to expand your knowledge, dive deeper into the world of AI, and provide you with the essential resources you need. From books and materials, ranging from fundamentals of AI to deep dives on implementing AI projects, to AI ethics, tools, software, checklists, and more, our resources page will help you on your AI journey, whether you're just starting out or you're well on your way. Check it out at aitoday .live slash list. That's aitoday .live slash l -i -s -t. Hello and welcome to the AI Today podcast. I'm your host, Kathleen Walch. And I'm your host, Ronald Schmelzer. So I want to tell you a little story. We had someone who completed our cognitive project management for AI training and certification. So for those of you that don't know, we have a methodology that we implement, that we have for running AI projects. And some folks who are project management folks who come from the project management perspective and background really think of CPMI more as like a process. It's a step -by -step approach for running AI projects, and it really focuses on business requirements and starting from business requirements and data requirements, then moving into data prep, and then you build your model once you kind of have that in place. And one of the things that's a core part of it is this thing called the AI go, no go, where you need to have these nine traffic lights, if you want to think of it, that all need to be green. And one of those things is, is do you even know what data you have and whether it's accessible? And this one person had gone through a CPMI project and they realized that they were like in the midst of their AI project and that they didn't even have access and that the team that they wanted to work with didn't want to give them access to that data. And that really was a moment where they're like, well, can I even do this AI project? That meant that they had to go back to the first phase and say, well, do I even have the fundamental business buy -in to make this work? And well, that was worth the entire price, the small price of training and certification because that really got their whole project, they were planning on spending tons and tons of money on, really kind of shifted it. So I just want to point out that part of this glossary series that we're doing here in the AI Today podcast, part of the reason why we have these conversations is that you may know, you may think you know what things are, what they mean, and then you find yourself engaging in it and you have these existential moments and you realize that maybe you don't know what you need to know. So that's part of why we enjoy doing this. We really want to share with you these key insights, this information, we want you to be informed so that you're not going into these projects, even without a basic understanding of some of the common terms that you may think you know, and then run into these problems later on. We want you to truly be successful. And that's why we've been doing the AI Today podcast since 2017, six years and hundreds of podcasts. You know? Exactly. And, you know, from that kind of education mindset, that's why we came up with our AI glossary series and our AI glossary as well. So we link to it always in the show notes and it's available at cognolytica .com. We wanted to present, at least at a high level, key terms related to AI, machine learning and big data so that our listeners and our readers and subscribers and customers at Cognolytica would understand these terms because sometimes they're presented in ways that just are overly complicated, don't make sense, or maybe you didn't understand how some of these terms were related to the larger AI landscape. And that's what we wanted to do. We wanted to help present them and showcase how they are related. So in today's podcast, we're going to be going over the terms analytics, data visualization, and then different types of analytics. So descriptive, diagnostic, predictive analytics, and projective analytics. We do have many podcasts on predictive analytics. It's one of the seven patterns of AI, and we have it in our glossary series as well that we'll link to. But we wanted to share different types of analytics as well in addition to that. So at a high level, first, let's define what analytics is. Well, it's statistical and other methods to gain informational insight from data. Okay, makes sense. And then there's different types of analytics. So we can have descriptive analytics, which is an application of analytics focused on providing an understanding of historical data, relationships, and comparisons. And it's not focused on providing forward -looking projections or analysis. So it's really focused on that kind of what happened. It's looking at historical data, and it's helping answer what happened analysis. Then we have diagnostic analytics, and that's an application of analytics focused on identifying the cause and effect relationship of data. So it's helping us answer and address why did that happen analysis. Then we have predictive analytics. So this is a pattern of AI, as I had mentioned, one of the seven patterns of AI, and an approach that uses past and current data to help humans make future predictions. So examples of predictive analytics could be forecasting, also predictive maintenance. So maybe we're looking at machinery or equipment, trying to figure out when it will break, determination of potential liabilities and risks, and other aspects of determining the future value of data. So again, we're taking that past or current data to help humans make future predictions. And then the last type of analytics we'll be going over is projective or also sometimes called prescriptive analytics. And this is an application of analytics focused on identifying the potential impact of decisions based on current data. So it helps with that what -if analysis.
Maybe Running Will Help?
Running Coach Jeff Cunningham on Overcoming Confidence-Crushing Setbacks
"Talking about confidence and running really brings confidence to people, especially when maybe you are doing things that you don't think are possible, right? So I want to get your thoughts on something that I've certainly run into and I think a lot of runners have run into is when you do gain that confidence from running and having success at the sport, and then all of a sudden you get to a point where maybe you have a bad race or something like and then it kind of backfires and you are like, you know, your self -worth takes a hit. Like, how do you deal with that with your athletes and even yourself? You know, it's one of these things where I tell people if you always have moonbeams and glitter just shooting out of your ass, that means that you're probably living in fantasy land. Fantasy by definition is not reality, all right? I live in reality. There's peaks and valleys, ups and downs. We don't always have our best day. But we want life and we want our careers or whatever it is we're trying at, whatever it is we are endeavoring at. We want there to be an upward trajectory. Generally speaking, it's kind of like the stock market. I checked it. Today it's in the green on my iPhone, which means I'm not losing money today, right? But the stock market is going to have its peaks and it's going to have its valleys. But generally speaking, from the bottom left to the top right for the last 50 years, if you put $100 on the stock market, you're probably doing pretty well right now. So what we want is we want that trajectory, bottom left to the top right going up. But each little tiny dip and every little tiny bump in the road can't be some major issue that then suddenly clouds our vision for the future, clouds our picture that we have painted of ourselves, which hopefully is a good one. And it's one that is a strong one, one that's defined by self -worth, one that's defined by confidence. And so don't let one bad race or one not so good race or one not so bad workout be this major blow because we can't be overly invested in the moment when we have to be broadly invested in all that is life, in all that is our career. Be invested in the moment to the degree that you try to maximize your ability to get better on that day. But don't be so heavily invested in the moment that you have everything in that moment and you lose sight of the fact that what's a week, a month, a year, a decade down the line is truly sort of where we're heading. And so I tell people, hey, we all are going to have a bad race. We all are going to have a bad workout, but it doesn't define who you are as a runner and it doesn't define who you are as a person,

We got President Trump with an answer to Kristen Welker on NBC's Meet the Press and her debut as the new host, which gave a lot of ammunition to Trump haters who want to hurt him and try to wreck his chances of becoming the nominee in 2024. This is an interesting dilemma that Republicans have. Here's the dilemma. Pro -life fighting for the sanctity of those unborn babies, the sanctity of their lives, the sacredness of the innocent. That's a centerpiece that's foundational for the Republican Party. And whether we like it or not, this particular debate that we're having in America over abortion is crushing us at the ballot box. And Donald Trump, I believe, was trying to address that with Kristen Welker on Meet the Press. Let's get it out of the way. I've been dreading this all weekend. Well, it wasn't all weekend. I mean, this first broke, I think, Saturday. They gave a little preview of his answer. I don't love his answer, but I also don't love the way Trump critics are pouncing on him, claiming he's not pro -life. I got into a big knockdown drag out, as I expected I would with my friend Mark Davis in Dallas, because Mark is now hell bent on proclaiming that Donald Trump is not pro -life. And he's saying that because of this exchange with Kristen Welker yesterday on Meet the Press. If a federal ban landed on your desk, if you were re -elected, would you sign it at 15 weeks? Are you talking about a complete ban? A ban at 15 weeks? Well, people are starting to think of 15 weeks. That seems to be a number that people are talking about right now. Would you sign that? I would I would sit down with both sides and I negotiate something and we'll end up with peace on that issue for the first time in 52 years. I'm not going to say I would or I wouldn't. I mean, the sanctus would really design a five week and six week ban. Would you support that? I think what he did is a terrible thing and a terrible mistake. But we'll come up with a number. But at the same time, Democrats won't be able to go out in six months, seven months, eight months and allow an abortion. Now, there are people who took that answer and proclaimed that Donald Trump is not pro -life, like it's important to proclaim or make some kind of declaration that he is not pro -life. I believe it's ridiculous to claim that a guy who's the only president to ever attend the March for Life, the guy who promised to get Roe v. Wade overturned because that was terrible federal. That was a terrible federal ruling and appointed Supreme Court justices who did just that to claim that Donald Trump is not pro -life is preposterous. It's absurd. It's virtue signaling. And perhaps it's just. The opportunistic way you chalk up some points for Ron DeSantis, because clearly Team DeSantis is pouncing on Donald Trump over this remark. I believe two things can be true at the same time. You can be pro -life and you can acknowledge that this issue is killing us at the ballot box. And we're losing elections. So President Trump has some campaign trouble to manage. Meanwhile, our current president can barely navigate a simple speech. If you miss Joe Biden at the U .N. this week, well, buckle up. Remember when Trump went to the United Nations and gave a really good speech and the media freaked out and said how goofy and wild and unpresidential and unprecedented it was, they had a complete meltdown and he gave a really decent speech. Compare that to the appearance of Joe Biden yesterday at the U .N. Now, even as we have all our institutions and drive creative new partnerships. Let me be clear. Certain principles of our international system are sacrosanct. Both Biden and Kamala Harris do the same thing when they say, let me be clear, run for the hills, because when they say, let me be clear, you're going to see nothing but mud and gibberish. I mean, babbling incoherently in front of the United Nations. And if that wasn't wild enough, you've got the Ukrainian President Zelensky. He marches in with his entourage. You know, I used to say I was torn about Ukraine. People that I respect insist that we have got to continue to fund the Ukrainian battle with Russia, that the American people have to help Ukraine with its border. We dare not have a wall for our own border, but we better, by God, help Ukraine with theirs. We better fund them. We better give them the missiles they want. We got to give them the ammunition they need. We need to. We got to stop Vladimir Putin. And if you push back against that, you're a stooge for Vladimir Putin. You're a Putin puppet. Just ask Tucker Carlson. When Tucker dared to express the belief that the American people have bigger fish to fry than funding Ukraine, he was thoroughly denounced and renounced as a stooge of Vladimir Putin. So there goes Zelensky marching into the UN yesterday with his bodyguards and his entourage, and he gets up to that podium. And what he said was pretty stunning. I expected he would stand at that giant podium in front of that ugly green background at the UN and talk about the need to fund his military. Talk about Russia's aggression against the Ukrainian people. Talk about Ukraine's place in the whole worldview of things instead. We got this. Even though humanity is failing on its climate policy objectives, this means that extreme weather will still impact the normal global life and some evil state will also weaponize its outcomes. And then people in the streets of New York and other cities of the world went out on climate protest. We all have seen them and when people in Morocco and Libya and other countries die as a result of natural disasters and when islands and countries disappear underwater and when tornadoes and deserts are spreading into into new territories and when all of this is happening, one unnatural disaster in Moscow decided to launch a big war and killed the tens of thousands of people. No wonder loony leftists have the Ukrainian flag in their front yard. You would think the Ukrainian president had bigger problems than climate change. Meanwhile, the United Auto Workers hit the picket lines this week. They made a few modest demands like a 40 % pay raise in a four day work week. Speaking of the UAW strike, I watched Sean Fain, the president of the United Auto Workers Union on the Sunday morning news shows. And you know, I admit I'm not a real big fan of unions. In fact, quite the opposite. I kind of think that unions have helped destroy many aspects of our economic system. In fact, it's a commonly held view that pension plans that used to be in place contributed to the decline of the U S automakers. Well, now the UAW is demanding pensions come back. They want the old fashioned defined benefit plan. And as Bloomberg points out, pensions are not worth striking over. You know what I find interesting about the UAW dispute? I heard all the talking points about how the corporate executives at the big three automakers make too much money. That's a Bernie Sanders mantra. That's an Elizabeth Warren trope. The executives make too much. You know, a company can be producing billions of dollars of revenue, but the Bernie Sanders of the world want to cap what an executive at one of those companies earns, which I always find so fascinating. It's as if they want to equate the guy or gal on the assembly line with the big automakers. Well, they're not the same. I mean it'd be nice if everybody made the same amount of money in life hate to break it to your life doesn't work that way. Some people make more than others and admittedly a lot of it is luck. I don't deserve the living that I make, but I'm very blessed to make a good living. There are people make a lot more than I do and I don't begrudge them anything, but simply because somebody that might have a show on television might make 10 times what I make. I don't think I should make what they make simply because we do the same essentially same thing. I mean, and Democrats always have such hypocrisy on this issue. Like somebody just texted me, how many homes does Bernie Sanders have again? It's more than one. But here's something that I noticed when I heard Sean Fain, the president of the UAW talk about executives compensation and how we're not making enough and we're taking steps backwards. I mean, the fact of the matter is the union gave up the defined benefit pension plan in a previous negotiation. Now they want it back. When you give up a benefit like that, you're not going to get it back. That's not realistic. And here's what I'm interested in. You know what was missing from all the coverage of the UAW strike? They never talk about what auto make auto workers make. Now I kept hearing how somebody on the assembly line can't feed their family. Really? What do they make? I kept hearing that Sean Fain kept saying the auto workers have taken three steps backwards. Really? How much do they earn? I know what they want to make. They want a 40 % pay increase and they want to only work four days a week. Now that's a pretty good deal.

A highlight from Interest Rate Hikes FINISHED?! (Crypto War NOT Over)
"Welcome to Discover Crypto! It is September 20th. It's 11 .30am. How are we all doing? We got Drew and AJ on the ones and twos today, folks. We're going to talk about the Fed. We're going to talk about what are they going to be saying with the interest rate hikes. And also we're going to be talking about Bitcoin and other cryptos. AJ, how are you doing today? I'm doing great, man. Another day in the life. Let's get it. Drew, how are you doing? Oh, just great. You know, can't complain. Well, you can. You can. You complain when you get home. You'd like, you know, just really vent to your two -year -old. Yeah, that's where I do it. Deezy, did you see the tweet that went out yesterday about the show I'm doing with from George from Cryptos R Us? What? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, he's with Blockchain Boy and Neutron. Joshua Jay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So we're all like, it's for crew, like, plus, you know, and basically we're all doing something different. I believe, like, Josh is doing like a news kind of show and Blockchain Boys. I'm not really sure what Blockchain Boys doing, but I know the videos are going to start coming out here pretty soon. We're still like brainstorming my concept, but I have a really good, like, rough idea of what I'm doing. But it's going to be really interesting to see how, like, where this goes. And I'm just fun to excited to do something different, you know? And I'm excited. We got Frankie Candles doing the charts today. I see Frankie getting ready in his neon square. He's in his, like, little neon area. I don't know if, oh, he can hear me. He's showing some recognition and anticipation of what Deezy is going to say next. Yeah, we saw the Donald Trump Jr. tweets. It looks like he got hacked. Also, Rob, you're popping it. Hey, we're going to see you back. Can't wait till you come back. All right, let's just get right into crypto. Marc Kepson's Drew is done. Am I too tall? Am I too tall? Too tall for the camera? Look, I got to stand. I got to do these shows a lot, you know? I take the shoes off. So I shrink, you know? They come in. I'm like 6 '11", and I take the shoes off. Then I drop back down to 6 '3". I got the Tom Cruise lifts. All right, Bitcoin is falling a little bit, folks. We were in the green this morning when I first woke up. Now we are down 0 .6%, and Ethereum is down 1 .3%. But XRP looks pretty good. XRP is up. It is up 0 .8 % on the day so far. Meanwhile, Cardano, I woke up this morning. It was up, but now it's down. It is down 0 .7%. Dogecoin down 1 .3%. TonCoin finally cooling off a little bit for the week here. It is down 1 .2%. Litecoin has taken a little bit of a beating, folks. Litecoin is down 5%. We talked about Litecoin a little bit yesterday on ATB. I highly recommend you check that out after this stream. All right, let's look at the top gainers. Then we're going to look at the top losers. You know, I have a streak of keeping my coins in the losers, but not today, folks. I'm feeling good. In fact, maybe I'll have a coin in the top 10. Who knows? All right, here we have Caspa leading the way. Caspa is just on fire, folks. The people who bought Caspa at $0 .01, $0 .02, looking good. Just put in a higher high too. You got past that last one, yep. All right, we are now above a nickel, and it looks like maybe price discovery mode for a Caspa. XDC is up 4 .3%. Maker is up. Radix is up. Aave is up. I have a coin in the ties. A little Solana. I think maybe I have some Arbitrum. Maybe. I'm not even sure I have to check. Then we have, you know, XRP is up 0 .8%. We got gold. Gold's moving to the upside. The graph moving to the upside, even though Bitcoin and ETH are down. Okay, so it's not all blood in the streets, but hopefully, it's not going to be blood in Deasy's wallet, guys. And again, I promise you, I do not check this ahead of time. I kind of like being surprised. I like discovering it with you. So let's discover cryptos, Deasy's coins in here. I'm looking good today. All right, I don't know how long the streak has been continuing. I don't know when's the last. I think I last held Litecoin in 2021. Never had Thor, Phrax, eCash, or I know Frankie likes to trade Adam. I like to trade Eve. So maybe we'll talk to him about the Adam is falling 4 % here. Litecoin down 5%. Thor chained down 5%. Any of these coins, you know, peak it. Well, if you go at it, I do have two in the top 10. I got two in the top 10. Just, you know, just to make it feel good. But any of these screaming at you here? Yeah, Thor, Litecoin, Phrax. Not surprised really to see. I mean, everything kind of came up yesterday. I'm still kind of sticking to the theory that the pump we're seeing could possibly be a bull trap. I think, you know, when we get into the FOMC news, the pauses that is likely coming is going to be bullish for the sentiment. I'm just still like kind of macro worried based off of the stock market sharks. Actually, the Algorand, you know, down 2 .8%. That one's kind of obviously yelling at me a little bit. I have a theory coming up, but I'm not going to say it right now. But I'm making a video about it, about Algorand. So stay tuned for that. OK, so you're going to create more? I'm going to create more. I create more crypto content every day and some of it's about Algorand. But I like how it's a period. Create more. No exclamation point. Just create. It's more like create more. Oh, OK. Great. More. Great. Great. Yeah. All right. Well, we're going to create some stories here about the feds. What are they doing? I don't know if we've ever had an article from this news organization. ABC. Shout out to Mickey Mouse and the Disney crew here. Fed to decide on a rate hike. Testing optimism about a soft landing as inflation rises again. Upon announcing the Fed Reserve's latest rate hike decision in July, Jerome Powell spoke out a lectern in Washington, DC for a half hour before he dropped a bombshell. The Central Bank staff has abandoned its forecast of a recession. Staff at the Fed, in other words, now expect the Central Bank to achieve a soft landing, an outcome in which the US brings down inflation while avoiding a downturn. Inflation has ticked up for two consecutive months, reversing some of the progress made in the effort to bring price increases down to normal levels. Meanwhile, oil prices have soared, threatening to push inflation even higher. Well, they got like moving ads. Whoa, whoa, what's going on here? Calm down, ABC. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg expect the Fed to leave its benchmark interest rate unchanged, affording policymakers time to weigh their next move as a rapid series of previous rate hikes take full effect. I was looking at Caleb Franzen's tweets. We're at 99 % on the prediction market unchanged today, right? Have you been looking at the, when is the next one? Is it November? I can pull the calendar. I'm pretty sure it's the end of October. I think it's like maybe on Halloween. Let me double check. Oh, on Halloween is going to be spooky. Okay, Drew, are you going to give out candy this Halloween? Absolutely. You know, but actually I'll be doing candied apples. Okay, I'm going to be giving out pamphlets on inflation to children. Yeah, you know, you could have got Reese's pieces, but blame Jerome Powell. You can take advantage of the time and the season to teach your children about tax. Tax them. Like attacking kids for their pillowcases of candy? Taxing them heavily. Yeah, take 33 % of every Snickers bar they get. That's right. Yeah, that's just the way it is. Why wait? Welcome to America, you know? And yeah, the next FOMC is October 31st, November 1st, so. Okay, okay. October 31st. All right, all right. Halloween, what's Jerome Powell going to dress up as? Alex from A Clockwork Orange. Pat, do you want us to dress up on the channel? I might be willing to dress up in a costume. I might be willing. You know, every - I could break out the green spandex, go old school. You know, every Halloween, AJ disappears and a Mr. Meeseeks just shows up. Okay, I heard existence is pain though. Existence is pain. We're not fumbling around for meaning here, Deezy. All right. Well, I'm fumbling around for this rate of inflation. It eases slightly 6 .7 % despite the oil prices surging. You know, like we said, I think the oil is going to be a leading indicator, so inflation will trickle down from the oil prices. If you want to think about it, it's going to cost more money to get those bananas to drive from point A to point B because they're going to have to spend more in the gas tank. This is going to be - It's just give it a while, let it roll out to the rest of the economy. Namely, food. Oil prices really, really like to impact food prices a couple months down the line. Well, we're looking at the ONS as the Office for National Statistics, and they said the consumer price index measure slowed in the 12 months to August from the 6 .8 figure reported the previous month thanks to food rising at a weaker pace during the month compared to August 22. During the X minute, I have a tweet about Canadian food prices, and I just kind of look at where they've gone over the past 20 years. It is shocking. It is shocking. I used Bard. I was like, this doesn't feel right for the price. I went to a Canadian grocery store, and I went low. I went low. There's expensive eggs and cheap eggs. I typed in the cheap egg price. It was still very scary. All right, well, we have predictions. Jerome Powell's got his ideas. You notice I was thinking about this BlackRock. What is BlackRock thinking about all this? BlackRock and others predict the Fed's next move. What does it mean for Bitcoin though? According to Marilyn Watson, is a BlackRock's head of global fundamental income strategy. The central bank's federal funds target rate will remain roughly the same until the end of the year going through its September, November, and December meetings. For the record, I think the economic data has consistently surprised to the upside, she said. That includes GDP, the unemployment rate, and the labor market. Beware, beware of recession. The analyst has previously argued that Bitcoin's price is macroeconomic determined by conditions, including its four -year cycles, which I am still a firm believer in for this cycle. Might be less of an effect of the previous one, but I'm still a believer in the four -year cycle, going to push Bitcoin to the new high. I do think we'll set in a new all -time high. I don't think we're going to hit a quarter million dollars in two years, but I think we're going to flirt with $100K, which they do not believe are related to the Bitcoin halving. So they're saying the four -year cycle is not related. I don't know what they're saying here. Risk assets go lower in recessions. So I'd expect Bitcoin would not perform well in that environment. It has not seen a real recession in its existence. It was birthed out of a recession, but yeah, hasn't really gone through one from the beginning stages to the end there. Yeah, there's never been a Bitcoin bull run during a phase of quantitative tightening. We've always been quantitatively easing the money supply anytime Bitcoin goes up into the right. And that obviously is what it takes. I think they're kind of leaning into if we're in a recession, and that lines up with the four -year cycle. But just so far, we're three for three with the having idea playing out. And the trend hasn't broken yet, so that's why I always say sticking to November 25 as a benchmark, but that's just a benchmark. It could be behind that. It could be in front of that. We don't have a crystal ball, but we can go off the pattern that we've seen before. All right. Well, speaking of quantitative tightening, we also have calfskin tightening, the tightest calfskin in the entire world. I don't care if you have a baby cow jacket for an extra small on an 800 -pound man, there is no tighter calfskin than the man I'm looking at right now. That is Frankie Candles. Frankie Candles, welcome back. How's it doing? Does it feel good? It feels good. The calfskin is tight, and so is Bitcoin's price action. But yeah, I don't want to waste time here. Let's go ahead and jump right into the charts here. Now, here we are. Now, obviously, I talk about this all the time. I don't typically trade on newsdays like this. It is usually a complete washing machine. Usually the shorts get wrecked, then the longs get wrecked, or the longs get wrecked, and then the shorts get wrecked. So I don't typically trade. Now, I am in a few trades right now. I am in this Bitcoin long right now. I have profits locked in on this trade and my stop loss is at my entry. So kind of how I am playing this today is I'm going to be holding my long. I am long from about $25 ,000 to $50 ,000 just below this range. And again, I have taken profits on that stop loss at break even. And then I am also in a short position from somewhere up here. I am slightly in profit on the short position. So I am long up and now I am in this small short position that is in slight profit. However, this is kind of how I'm playing this today, DZ. Because basically, like I said, I never recommend people trade on these newsdays just because of the complete unpredictable volatility that you're likely to see. Now, the last FOMC meeting, I believe, was on the 25th, 26th of July. I believe someone could correct me if I'm wrong on that. But we actually have seen a few FOMC meetings where we didn't really have too much happen. And I've been telling people that we are likely in that kind of boring accumulation phase of the bear market. A lot of times, if you go back to at least the 2017 or 2018, 2019 bear market, we had that bear market rally. And once we topped off at that point, we kind of just bled out. And for the most part, if you kind of just ignore this panic wick from March of 2020, which was obviously a Black Swan event, we kind of just wiggled sideways. We got that big bear market rally, we topped off, bled out a little bit, and then we just kind of went sideways again with the exception of that panic wick. And I do think we are in somewhat of a similar situation here where the rest of this bear market may not be the most exciting thing ever. But for today, basically how I'm handling this, DZ, is I'm going to be kind of...
Tech Path Crypto
A highlight from 1261. Fed Meeting vs. Crypto LIVE | Jerome Powell + Inflation Sentiment Analysis
"All right, so welcome in everybody to the live stream today. We'll be breaking down the FOMC meeting and also talk a little bit about what Chair Powell has decided to do along with the Board of Governors and break down all that, what kind of implications this might have on the market for you. It's going to be a good one. My name is Paul Beyer and welcome back in the Tech Path. All right, so joining, of course, today we will be doing our normal live stream where we air the Fed meeting. And it's not necessarily the meeting, but it's the remarks. It's the press conference after the meeting, which obviously we've got news in now that there is no rate hike. So whether you think that's a good thing or a bad thing, I think the key here is that the Fed has continued to hold this position of softening now is and can they navigate a soft landing is the real question. I think this is going to be the one that we'll have going into this. We're probably going to take, I think we may take some questions. It depends on how long Chair Powell talks. So make sure and drop some of those over on the side. And if this is your first time here on the channel, all I would ask is that you subscribe. We do a lot of hard work and research to hopefully bring the best news content out there in the crypto and blockchain space to you. So just hit that little subscribe button. And if you can hit the little bell, it's going to give of you notifications when we go live, just like this one right here. So we'll break in and all that. Just to let you guys know, so when the Fed meets every month to every two months, depending on the on the period of time, basically you have a board of governors that comes together. They start working through all of the data that comes in from the market. And then at that point, they start to make the final decision of how they're going to go interest about rate hikes or potentially interest rate declines. So we'll be airing Chair Powell's speech when he addresses the press corps here in a bit. So just be on the lookout for that. They are probably about 10 to 15 minutes away. We'll go through some things here today I want to talk about today. First of all, how would Bitcoin react to the Fed's interest rate decision? Obviously, right now we're starting to see Bitcoin do a little bit of slight move down. But that's my question is, do we continue to see Bitcoin in more of a holding pattern right now with where it has been? Or if you look at the chart, let me kind of bring up the Bitcoin chart real quick and I'll just jump over to my chart. And I'm on the five minute chart right now. But as you can kind of see, let me go to the one hour so we can kind of push that out for the last couple of days. You can kind of see a little bit of that incline that we've had over the past few days where Bitcoin slipped right into that $27 .4K range at its high and it started to adjust off of that. And I think this is the scenario that I think a lot of people are looking at. And that is when you consider the current status of the macro pressure that the markets are getting. Remember the S &P and I'm going to show you guys some cool things. Let me jump over to the S &P real quick because this is something that we've been doing here on our power index or our market sentiment index and that is starting to measure a little bit more of the S &P compared to what's happening in crypto. Right now I'm looking just at the one hour but this was the decline that we've seen in the S &P 500 which of course has started to adjust a little bit. Now some of that may be coming from the softening in the market itself. Let me jump over to this article here because I want to go back to this point on Bitcoin. Fed's interest rate decision everybody's expected today did come in at what was expected being no interest rate hike. However some experts also said that low volatility may continue after Fed's decision and investors expecting high volatility in the Bitcoin price may be disappointed. I am in somewhat agreement with that. Now there are two I guess two camps thinking of where this direction may go and what it really boils down to is two things. One of course is going to be the situation of when the Fed does pivot and the other is going to be how much lagging data is coming in in the last quarter because here we are going into Q4 October 1st. Once we start to move into Q4 we're going to start to see one the Q3 earnings that will give us some indicators of how most of these companies are doing which will cause some action on the S &P 500. And then with that you are also going to get lagging data on jobs. You're going to be lagging data on general scenarios that are market pressures coming things like the oil market. And then what we'll see is I still believe is the CRE market the commercial real estate market. That's going to be the one to watch for. And that is my concern if we continue to see a little bit of a decline there. Now the other question that plays into this is how sticky will inflation be during this last quarter because all of what we could see and including possibly another quarter point and we'll probably hear this from Chair Powell here in a few minutes when he comes on to address the press is whether or not we will see another quarter basis points rise in the fourth quarter of this year and how that sets up Q1 and Q2 for 2024. Now you have to be thinking about what is this going to do around an election year. You've got a lot happening with the UAW. That's the United Auto Workers strike potentially looming. Biden administration is pushing hard to try to position against that along with what's happening on the labor market tightening somewhat. And then of course what we've seen with sticky inflation. So all of this was really playing into when is that bottom really in. Now that's the question mark for Bitcoin, Ethereum and some of the blue chip assets. Have we started to see maybe a little bit of that swoop off of the bottom and started that into that stabilization. And I'll show you guys some examples of that. But here's the U .S. Federal Reserve keeping rates elevated through 2024. This is the concern that I think slows things down a little bit in the general market. And that is that if BlackRock is right and that if we continue to see higher rates interest rates through 2024. Now when I say higher he could still pivot and start that quarter point softening of a market. That in itself would most likely send the markets into a tizzy. But I think the other issue is whether or not we actually reach the scenario of an inflation cap that actually gets hit by consumer price index which obviously will affect consumer spending all those kind of things. And that starts to roll into the potential of a recession. And that is the real question mark looming here right now. A couple of points I want to hit out on this article on BlackRock. BlackRock's head of global fundamental income strategy agreed that the Fed is unlikely to change rates. Everybody's right on that. But the big deal is since March 2022 the Fed has increased rates 11 times to fight soaring inflation. And we've got a few charts I'll show you here in a minute of the history of inflation and the reaction of markets and how they've been able to respond. What you see there right there in 2023 is where we are now. But obviously this back in the 1980s when we were at pretty much all time inflation hits. Additionally if you guys did not follow this Citigroup announced the Fed interest rate forecast for September and November. This is another one that I think is important. From now on markets will price and how long interest rates will remain high and rather than whether there'll be an increase in interest rates. And that's my point is if we're talking about all of 2024 seeing a five plus interest rate Fed fund rate that's going to continue to pour money into the money market overall. And I think that's the other scenario especially when you look at the amount of liquidity that's going to be setting in on the sideline. So that's another factor into 2024 because you've got the halving coming with Bitcoin. You have a new election year coming in and then you have these crazy scenarios playing in on all these market pressures coming in from the macro side of things and that's providing that we don't end up with a united autowork because I think if we get a strike in the car market that could have some pretty big effects possibly even actually be one of the things that pushes us into recession because of how the auto mobile industry is so connected to so many different job industries so many sectors and obviously part of what we'll see in terms of just consumer pricing. Other parts on this I wanted to show this is kind of the the nominal Fed funds target rate increase during the FOMC tightening episodes. This goes all the way back to 1983. And this is good because it shows you how quickly this is us right now in the green the twenty two twenty three range. Look how quickly we've accelerated up that chart versus if you look at the 2004 to 06 tightening all the way back to the 2015 to 18 very slow and steady until we had the you know what. And then back here in the 80s which was really kind of that flat line and then boom that heavy acceleration that we had in the early 80s when we really started to see kind of a redefinition of what high inflation truly was. And I don't know how many of you guys are around. I was still in high school at the time but but it this kind of shows where we could be. Now that's the question mark right now because if we stay at this rate right here if we start flat lining right here what maybe we'll have a little bit of this kind of effect back in the 80s where before we saw that last two to three point raise. And that's the concern I have is if we do see any kind of somewhat tentative recovery here in the Q1 possibly even in Q2 does the Fed look at 2024 data and start to reposition. I still believe that we are at the end of this cycle.
Ultraflex Football
A highlight from 43: Week 2 Recap
"Welcome to the Ultraflex Football Podcast. Move over Pat McAfee. There's no denying that we are here to spice up your life and never forget about the good times. I'm your host, Anthony Sutton. With me, as always, is Rob Green. Man, I wasn't prepared for that change. What's up? What's going on? And Viva Forever, Ryan Wheeler. I feel so much pressure. Now we got to be better than Pat McAfee. All right. Oh, we got the... Go ahead. No, he's actually like swearing on ESPN now, and he's got like Mike Greenberg, he swore on ESPN now because of McAfee. He's actually... A little more laid back now, huh? Yeah, he wears a tank top. He's very good for ESPN, in my opinion. Go ahead. He's spicing up Disney, huh? I think I saw, didn't they have to put him on like an extra delay versus normal? I mean, I wouldn't be surprised. He has to cut out the F words a little bit, I heard. Someone's got to tell him to stop the cursing. No. Why? That's what makes it fun. I'm like eight song titles through my album here, so. Oh, he's like, damn, you're doing song titles already? Yeah, I thought you had to say him first. Holy moly. All right, well, we're about to find out what your song titles were. So Tony messed up two weeks ago. He didn't get all the song titles in, so now he has an album to himself, but because this is a team sport, a team podcast, Rob and I now have to split apart, or a album between ourselves. So Rob and I have Good Charlotte, The Young and the Hopeless. My songs are A New Beginning, Lifestyle of the Rich and the Famous, Wondering, The Story of My Old Man, Girls and Boys, and My Bloody Valentine. Rob? I don't know, man. I'm not feeling good about this week. This is a lot. Seven songs and a half hour show. All right, I got Hold On, Riot Girl, Say Anything, The Day That I Die, The Young and the Hopeless, Emotionless, and Movin' On. Tony, we're all wondering, what do you have? You have the Spice Girls, my man. And I already, I've gotten already into the pod. I've already gotten Spice Up Your Life, Stop, Never Give Up on Good Times, Move Over, Denying, and Viva Forever. I still need to get in Too Much, Saturday Night Divas, Do It, and The Lady is a Vamp, which will probably be a difficult one. Hold on, can you say that one more time? What was that? The Lady is a Vamp. Like a vampire, assuming? What's a vamp? It's a vampire. And that's from the Spice World album. 1997 made me feel old AF. 97, wow. I remember watching the Spice World movie, the Spice Girls movie. I do not remember. Oh, you guys didn't have older sisters, that's why. No. All right, anyway. Movin' On. All right, speaking of Movin' On, the NFL schedule moved on. We are now in week two, so let's get to Football Talk. And I guess technically we're in week three, so we're going to recap week two. As always, we're going to start with the Bills game, go to the Titans game, and then kind of what else is going on. So, Rob, you were at the Bills Raiders game. What were your biggest takeaways? It was a fun home opener. The Bills got back to their winning ways with a nice, easy, I'd even want to say I was worried at the beginning. It was a little annoying that they fell behind 7 -0, but I was confident they would still pull it out. They did. Josh Allen ended up AFC Offensive Player of the Week, I think the 11th time in his career now, which is pretty impressive. Wow, the franchise record. Oh, I didn't know that. Nice stat. You beat Jim Kelly, it was 10 times. Well, pretty nice. Feels like a new beginning for the Bills, for sure. Nice, Ryan. Where was I going with that? I told you guys a stat yesterday, actually, that surprised me, but Josh Allen is number one in completion percentage so far this year. I know it's only two games in, but fun little tidbit there. It's crazy how much can change week by week in the NFL, and it's going to happen again this week. If the Bills were to lose to Washington and go 1 -2, then it almost feels like the game, I know it wouldn't be a must -win, but it feels like the game against the Dolphins the following week would feel like a must -win. That way, they're not 1 -3 and that far behind the Dolphins, but yeah, it's crazy how much can change in one week in the NFL. Oh, show. My biggest takeaway, and I said it last week, kind of a similar takeaway for me was last year it felt like we never got pressure on the quarterback. This year, it feels like we're constantly getting the opposing quarterback pressure, and it feels like our offensive line is playing well, so big task, which is we're physical, we can run the ball, we can block, we can get pressure. It's a good change of pace. I don't know, honestly, I'm not smart enough to tell you if McDermott's play calling is a factor in that, or if it's just Leonard Floyd, hopefully his ankle's okay, is better, and Ed Oliver's having a better year, so on and so forth. Yes, I saw his average depth of tackle is negative yards right now, which is impressive. So his average tackle is a tackle for a loss. That's awesome. That's literally the definition of blowing up a play. So yeah, it's exciting. Obviously, this win means something, but it doesn't really if you go and lose to Washington, so got to two and one. Two and one, by the way. Oh, yeah. I think everyone does the thing where you kind of... Did we just lose our host? It kind of looks like a frozen face there. Okay. Hey, frozen face. Oh, Rob, it's you and I. Let's do this thing. All right. So I didn't get to talk about the Titans at all. Can we say anything now, because he's gone? Yeah, we can say anything. Say anything, say anything. Sorry, I can't sneak any of these. Good Charlotte. Anywho, girls and boys, my takeaway is that the Titans are who I thought they were. The team that... I guess who a lot of Titans fans thought they were. The team that's probably... You are who we thought you were. Welcome back, Anthony. Thanks. They're the team that's going to beat the good teams and lose to the teams they should beat. And that's how it feels like the Titans have always been. They keep every game close. They have a shot. They have a chance in every game. So they're not quite the young and the hopeless, but they're just maybe like the mediocre. No, they're not the young and the hopeless. Oh, I thought that was one of my song titles. That's the... Oh, no. Oh, no. Clearly. Well, okay. I guess I can cross that one off my list then. Anywho, you know who else I was impressed with was the Falcons. They play a certain brand of football. It's the NFC Titans. I think I have to be a fan of the Falcons now. But just ground and pound, they came back. They were able to pull that one out in Green Bay. So... Yeah. The Falcons. To your point, there's not many teams, I feel like, in the NFL that have an identity, like a true identity. The Falcons are one that you know exactly what you're getting every week. And that could be really good or it could be really bad. Oh, for sure. One of my week two takeaways is prior to the season, it was always... And I was the one on this podcast kind of leading the charge is how good the AFC is gonna be. And then if like through two weeks, which is, again, a small sample size, it feels like the 49ers, Eagles, and Cowboys are playing just as well as anybody. And they're all in the NFC. Now, the NFC doesn't have much else to offer, but those three teams are gonna be very formidable to whoever comes out of the AFC come Super Bowl time. Yeah. At this point, their high -end talent almost seems better than the AFC with a lot of the top teams in the AFC struggling. So... Do you guys think that three of the top five teams in the NFL are NFC teams? Maybe even three of the top four teams in the NFL? I think that's fair right now. Yeah. That's crazy, isn't it? Because before the season, it was like, the AFC is so strong, so good. They have all the good quarterbacks and two weeks is a pretty small sample size, but I think... I think at this point, yeah, it's safe to say those three teams are top five. I don't even know who you would put... I mean, I guess the Dolphins are probably the best team in the AFC at the moment. I mean, the Chiefs scored 17 points against the Jaguars. And I mean, the Bills looked very good last week, but you can't ignore how poorly they looked the first week on offense. So... And then obviously, the Bengals Chargers being 0 -2 hurts the AFC's, I guess, power rankings or however you want to look at it. And then Rogers being hurt. Those are three teams that I thought were going to have a very good season. They still might. Maybe not the Jets, but the Chargers and the Bengals.
Thinking Crypto News & Interviews
A highlight from SEC GARY GENSLER TO BE GRILLED ON CRYPTO SOON! NYDFS BLACKLIST RIPPLE XRP & DOGECOIN, CBDC PRIVACY ISSUES
"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, quick news about the Fed right now, they are pausing rate hikes, but we know they are leaving the option on the table to be able to raise rates again. And we know these rate hikes and the fight against inflation does have an impact on the markets. Now, Bitcoin and the crypto market, of course, have rallied from the lows of December 2022. And we are obviously not going to new all time highs right now, but it's certainly a bounce off the lows. So I've been saying we're in that transition phase between the bear and the bull market. And next year is the halving. And I think the bull market officially starts then. But we'll see how the Fed's news has an impact on the markets. Look, the Fed, they've been raising rates all this year and the markets have been going up. So let's see what they decide to do historically, based on the charts and all the data. When they start cutting is when we need to kind of worry during that period. And once they start quantitative easing, guys, global liquidity will come back and asset prices will continue to rally. So short term, a lot of uncertainty, maybe a little bit more pain, but long term, we are headed back to the bull market. The bull runs just we are in this tightening period and we have to be patient and go through it. And then we will be back in good times, as they would say. Now let's move ahead, because the date is set, folks, September twenty seventh, corrupt scumbag regulator Gary Gensler will be testifying before the House Financial Committee. And it will be, of course, a much less friendly venue than what he experienced with the banking GOP, as we're going to see the folks who oversee the SEC, the House Financial Committee, you know, really put down the hammer on Gary Gensler and grill him like they did last time. Remember the last time Patrick McHenry and many of these members gave him laser pointed questions. Is he theorem of security? Is XRP a security rate? I'm very curious how they're going to grill him this time, because obviously he took a big loss. The SEC and Gary Gensler took a big loss in the ripple lawsuit. They also lost the grayscale. The judge recently shut down their ability to do any discovery with Binance U .S. So the judicial branch and the courts and so forth are not putting up with the lies, corruption and hypocrisy of the SEC. They abide by the law. So Gary Gensler and the SEC have not been trying to abide by the law. Remember what Judge Sarah Netburn said in the ripple lawsuit. The SEC lacks faithful allegiance to the law. Imagine being a government agency that's supposed to have integrity, that's supposed to protect investors and be the good guys. You are being told you don't abide by the law. And this is what I've been saying for years. The SEC is rotten at its core. It's fallen far from its core mission. And not to mention the Bill Hinman situation and a theorem free pass and much more. So mark your calendars, folks. Gary Gensler is going to be grilled and it's going to be 10 a .m. on Wednesday, September 27 to next Wednesday. And we shall see how that goes. I'm sure there's going to be fireworks. Now here's something that's very funny. Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, him and his team, his legal team were in D .C. He said they were meeting with members of Congress and their global policy team were trying to figure out regulations. And he said, can't get regulatory clarity without actually engaging with the elected officials who are proposing bills. He also posted a picture of him and Stuart Allerani, chief legal officer, in front of the SEC building with their hands up like, yeah, you know, we had to take a picture in front of the SEC building while in town. In case you're wondering, no, Chair Gensler did not invite us in. I love it. Very, very funny. So, you know, Gary Gensler is a clown. Everybody's laughing at him now. He's such a buffoon. And, you know, I've said it many times, he's a puppet on strings. He's doing the bidding of the TradFi incumbents, which is sad, right? Just corrupt. You're supposed to be protecting investors, having a fair free market, you know, whether it be startups, new industries and so forth. Just looking to protect investors, not doing the bidding of the TradFi giants. And you know, we'll see how this once again, this hearing goes on the 27th. Now quick word from our sponsor, and that is Uphold, which makes crypto investing easy. I've been using Uphold since 2018. I've interviewed their CEO and many folks on this platform so I can vouch for them. They have 10 plus million users, 250 plus cryptocurrencies, and they're available in 150 countries. You can also trade precious metals and 37 national fiat currencies, and you can easily swap between them. So that makes this platform very unique. If you'd like to learn more about Uphold, please visit the link in the description. All right, folks, we got some attack coming from the New York crypto regulators really removing Dogecoin, XRP and Litecoin off their token green list.
The Bitboy Crypto Podcast
A highlight from ATTACK AGAINST CRYPTO! (The WORST Is Yet To Come)
"Hey, what's up, everyone. Welcome to Discover Crypto. My name is A .J. Wright's crypto. And I really don't want to talk about this, but I have to get into this because you guys need to know things are probably about to get pretty messy in crypto. I mean, it's already been, you know, with the SEC going after Binance and Coinbase and this going to security this don't give up. But my message here is that the coordinated attack against crypto, you know, Operation Choke Point 2 .0 is alive and well. And in fact, I think Coinbase and Binance was just the beginning. Just today, the head of cryptocurrency assets and cyber unit of the SEC, David Hirsch, issued a serious warning that, you know, Binance and Coinbase, that was just the beginning. In the near future, they are going to be coming after not only similar platforms, similar exchanges, but also DeFi. I mean, you know, basically, if they can't control it, they they want to destroy it. It's the American way. Crypto is straight up a threat to the legacy system and everybody knows it. And this is why they're coming after the next thing so hard. You know, they've been taking losses in court. You know, SEC didn't fare well against Ripple. They just got denied an emotion in the Binance case today. But it doesn't matter to them. It's just fuel to the fire to go after the next person with more intensity. It's like as long as there's negative headlines about crypto in the news, they are winning maybe in the court of public opinion. Not everyone that knows about crypto is well informed and watches videos like this. You know, there's just people that see it on the news and will never invest because all they've heard is bad things from the news. And this is hurting the cause. This is hurting mass adoption. And this is by design because they are scared to death of the implications of what could happen to the legacy system, the status quo and even the dollar. If crypto wins this war, this is personal to them. Their jobs are seriously on the line here. And this is why exchanges like KuCoin, like BitGet, you know, remove themselves from the American equation because they wanted to stay out of hot water. I mean, can you blame them? I mean, you know, the spiel crypto is a threat to national security. Crypto is rife with fraudsters and hucksters. Answer me this. Everybody answer me this. Who uses the word hucksters? And also answer me this. Does the S is the SEC doing this because they really want to protect investors? Or is the SEC doing this to protect the American dollar? I mean, with the rise of the BRICS nations, the American dollar is becoming less and less relevant on the global scale with every passing day when money goes in the crypto that it goes away from the dollar, away from the fiat system. I mean, right now, we're 33 trillion dollars in debt. And because, you know, we keep hiking up the interest rates, that money just gets more and more expensive to pay back over time. And it's exponentially more expensive because the interest rates are hyped. It is evident, it is evident that our government is terrified of losing the crown of having the world reserve currency. I mean, if America loses the world reserve currency, I don't even know what that looks like. And this is why they are spending millions of taxpayer dollars every day to attack crypto. It goes against the legacy system. It goes against the status quo. But you know, it's not all bad. Like there is, you know, as this story came out, Hester Piris is still in the back telling crypto firms to not give up the fight, to keep fighting back because people like Hester Piris, they see the silver lining. She sees what is possible with crypto and how it can help in more ways than one. Elizabeth Warren, Gary Gensler, David Hurst, they don't want to see that. They are focused on keeping things the way they are. And the only thing that matters to them is power. And let's not forget that. I mean, why do you think crypto is such a hot topic right now? It's a hot button issue, especially at the polls with the upcoming election. They are on purpose politicizing crypto. You know why they're politicizing it? Because politics are polarizing. Politics turn family members against family members. Politics make friends stop being friends. They want to fuel that fire and make people think, oh, if you're one of those crypto people, I can't talk to you. Cancel culture. Like they're going to mix that in. I mean, they've mixed financial disparity in with crypto. They've mixed race in with crypto. They are trying to, you know, equate crypto to other hot topic, hot button issues to polarize people against each other. This is what they do. And this is why the SEC is going to keep coming after similar firms like Coinbase, like Binance and every firm under them. DeFi, they're going to do this. So negative crypto story stay in the headlines. It's that simple. And New York is leading the way. Like the green list for New York was pretty bad, but at least there were some coins on there. Now, just after the news that just came out, there's Bitcoin, Ethereum, and a bunch of stable coins. That's all you can get into if you are in New York. They just recently dropped over two dozen coins, including Litecoin, Dogecoin, and guess who? Ripple. Even though Ripple was deemed not a security in court on the secondary market, New York still dropped it. You know, it's kind of like they're on the same team as Gary. It's kind of like they're on the same agenda that wants to keep negative crypto stories in the news. It's like they're a part of Operation Chokepoint 2 .0 because they are. New York is leading the way with the regulation. New York has always led the way with financial regulations like they have in the past for the past however many years. It's been like this forever. And the thing is, is like, let's think about this. Let's really think about this. Do you think New York is doing this to protect investors or do you think New York is doing this to protect Wall Street? I mean, we all know the answer. It's pretty cut and dry to me. And at the end of the day, you know what this tells me? You know what this tells me? This tells me how powerful crypto really is. If crypto wasn't a threat to them, they would not be spending the taxpayer money that they're spending to go this hard in the paint against crypto assets. It is that cut and dry. We are on the precipice of cutting edge technology that could change the financial future for our kids and our grandkids and everything after that. And we are literally standing at the turning point. And we are, you know, this is a very, we're going to look back at 20 years and think like, wow, we didn't even realize what time we were living in. This is the turning point between which direction America is going to go. We've seen examples like how Singapore and how other countries like that are positively like Dubai, positively, you know, growing crypto. But you know, they're incentivized to do it. They want to grow the economy. It's like America wants to keep the world reserve currency, but they're cutting their own foot off by not adopting crypto out of fear of losing the world reserve. I mean, obviously you can see that I could heat it up about this. I'm very passionate about this, but listen, I don't want to talk in circles, but I want to know down below in the comments, if the SEC gets their way, what does that look like? What does crypto in America look like? If the SEC gets their way, I want to read what you think down below in the comments below, and have yourself a great day.

Again, that's cryptonewsalerts .net. Welcome everyone just joining us. This is pod episode number 1406. I'm your host JV. And today is September 19th, 2023. We have lots to cover as usual. Massive shout out to everyone today in the live chat. Please let me know where you're tuning in from. And at the end of the show, I'm going to be reading everyone's comments out loud. Let's kick off today's show with our market watch as we do each and every day, the entire crypto market back in the green with Bitcoin back above $27 ,100 and checking out coinmarketcap .com, the current crypto market cap on the climb at $1 .08 trillion with roughly $27 billion in volume for the past 24 hours, Bitcoin dominance at 49 .2 % and the Ether dominance at 18 .4%. And checking out the top 100 crypto gainers of the past 24 hours, we have TonCoin leading the pack up 5%, trading at $2 .57, followed by GMX up about 5%, trading just under 36 bucks, followed by Conflux up 4%, trading at $0 .12. And checking out the top 100 crypto gainers of the past week, virtually 95 out of the top 100 cryptos are in the green. Some of the top gainers include GMX, GRT, as well as CRV and NEO. And checking out the crypto greed and fear index, we're currently rated at 46 in fear, same as 37 in fear. So there you have it. How many of you are pretty stoked for this most recent pump? And how many of you agree with Stacey Herbert that this pump is due to Bukele's speech scheduled for this evening? Let me know, fam. And now let's dive into today's Bitcoin technical analysis. Check out the charts and what's popping with the king crypto. Bitcoin could see fresh upside volatility as the price action and the strength revisits a key level according to a classic metric. In a new post, John Bollinger, creator of the Bollinger Bands volatility indicator, says Bitcoin was positioned for a breakout decision. That's right. After hitting new September highs the day prior, Bitcoin has been challenging resistance levels out of reach since mid -August, according to data from Cointelegraph and TradingView. Now for Bollinger, the signs for Bitcoin are encouraging. Bollinger Bands use a standard deviation around the simple moving average to determine both the likely price ranges and volatility. And as Michael Saylor once said, volatility equals life force. Now, currently Bitcoin is putting in daily candles that touch the upper band. And when this happens, it can signal an imminent reversal back to the center band, or conversely, an inbound fit of upside volatility. Now narrow Bollinger Bands seen on Bitcoin recently lend weight to hopes that the latter scenario will now play out, quitting him here. And then there is the first tag of the upper Bollinger Band. After the new set of controlling bars were established at the lower band, he commented alongside this chart, the question is now, can we walk up to the upper band or is it too early to answer? What are your thoughts, chat? Let me know in the comments below. Now Bollinger characterizes the current mood among seasoned Bitcoin traders and analysts on the short -term timeframes. Despite the strength seen this week, caution abounds as various trend lines previously acting as support remain above the spot price. Now discussing the situation, we had on -chain monitoring resource, material indicators share the following. We have heavy technical resistance overhead at the key moving averages and support at the lower low. It is quite possible that we round trip the range. And with any luck, we'll see a legit test of the RS levels that will give us some clarity on where Bitcoin goes from here before the end of the week. And they also shared here in update number two, as noted earlier, it appears the Bitcoin bulls are gaining some momentum, but things are not always as they seem and goes on to share that sometime after last night's candle and close open, we've seen a new trend precognition signal develop on the daily chart and it seems to be bullish. I mean, we are breaking out. We are above 27 ,000. So let's freaking go. And also more strong foundation on the technicals. You can see Bitcoin hits yet another all -time high, which virtually means the network has never been this strong and this secure. Now I'm pretty stoked to tune into President Bukele's speech to the UN this evening. What do you think he has to share besides? I told you so. Let me know, fam. And again, welcome to everyone just joining us for the live show. Lots to continue to cover. So let's continue breaking it down. Next, let's discuss this adoption fund, which is a pretty big deal coming out of Japan. Let's go check this out. Japan's largest investment bank, Numura's digital asset subsidiary, Laser Digital Asset Management, launched the Bitcoin adoption fund specifically for the institutional investors. Bring it. The official announcement noted the Bitcoin -based fund will be the first in a range of digital adoption investment solutions that the firm plans to introduce. Now Numura is a Japanese financial giant with over $500 billion worth of assets, which basically that's half a trillion, baby, offers brokerage services to leading institutional investors. The Bitcoin fund launched by its digital asset arm will now offer investors direct exposure to BTC. The Laser Digital Bitcoin Adoption Fund offers long key exposure to Bitcoin. The financial giant has chosen Kamanu as its regulated custody partner. The Bitcoin fund is a portion of Laser Digital Fund's segregated portfolio company that has been registered as a mutual fund in accordance with the Cayman Islands regulatory authority. Now, Laser Digital Asset Management head Sebastian said the Bitcoin is one of the enablers of this long -lasting transformational change and long -term exposure to Bitcoin offers a solution for the investors to capture this macro trend. Now, the Bitcoin adoption fund might be the first of its kind launched by Numura and the digital asset arm, but the Japanese investment banking giant has been investing in the digital asset ecosystem for quite some time already. In fact, September of last year, the firm launched its digital asset venture capital arm to stay at the forefront of digital innovation. And also won Dubai's virtual asset regulatory authority license to operate in the country. The long -only Bitcoin adoption fund for investors in Japan comes amid a growing discussion around Bitcoin -based investment products from regulated and mainstream financial giants. The United States SEC approved two Bitcoin ETFs, even though there is a delayed decision specifically on the spot. Bitcoin ETFs. What's up with that, Mr. Gensler? Just saying. And apart from the US, Canada and focused investment products over the past couple of years. So there you have it, mass adoption, let's freaking go, especially on the institutional level. How many of you are in Japan? I know we have some in our audience out there. Let me know. And have you ever heard of this company before? Any plans in investing through them? Let me know how you guys feel. And now let's break down the latest. It gets more surprising and shocking every day with what all is going on with Bankman -Fried and FTX. Now his parents are involved. His parents are being sued by FTX. And it's just a nightmare of a mess, to say the least. So let's break down this latest story regarding SBF. Now, Joseph Bankman, the father of the former FTX CEO, Sam Bankman -Fried, complained to his son about the salary he was receiving during his employment at FTX US, turning the issue into a family matter. In a September 18 filing with the US Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, FTX debtors filed a complaint against Bankman and Barbara Fried, alleging that SBF's parents misappropriated millions of dollars through their involvement in the exchange's business. And according to the court documents, Bankman's contract with FTX US should have provided a $200 ,000 annual salary following a leave of absence from the Stanford Law School in December 2021. However, Bankman seemed to express ignorance about the terms of the contract, claiming to both FTX US and his son that he was expecting a $1 million annual salary. What about all that property in the Bahamas, fam? What about all that? Hundreds of millions worth of properties? Just wanted to throw that out there. The complaint states that Bankman was putting Barbara on this, suggesting that SBF's mother may have been able to persuade her son to follow through with the salary change. Things get even more interesting. So according to the complaint, Bankman's influence paid off, with SBF later providing his parents $10 million from Alameda Research. Can you talk about commingling? A 16 .4 million property in the Bahamas, funded by FTX Trading, the ability to expense roughly $90 ,000 to FTX Trading on the island nation in the Bahamas, and options to purchase company stock. Now, when reached out to the legal team representing Bankman and Fried, but did not receive a response at the time, unfortunately, the legal action brought by the debtors was the latest in the bankruptcy case involving FTX and many of its subsidiaries filed in November of last year. Bankman Fried also faces 12 criminal charges to be spread across two trials, starting in October of 2023, which is right around the corner, fam, and March of 2024, right before the halving, scheduled for April of next year. And since the federal judge revoked his bail in August, Bankman Fried has been largely confined to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Where's Brooklyn at? Before the start of his October trial, then on September 19th, a three -judge panel heard an appeal from SPF's legal team requesting the former FTX CEO to be released from jail in order to prepare for the trial, citing the lack of internet access and first amendment issues. All I got to say is this, I mean, how many people realistically have access to the internet in jail? Why should he? Million dollar question right there. But what are your thoughts, fam? How do you think this is likely to play out? And do you think that Bankman Fried's parents are just as guilty as SPF himself with the commingling and the fraud of going up north of $30 billion, making it the biggest scam in history that we're aware of? Hence why we call him Mini Madoff, because he made off with billions of dollars worth of investors' money, and Gary Gensler and the SEC was protecting him behind closed doors. So it's going to be very interesting to see how all this is likely to play out. Now let's discuss post halving. We all know there is a halving scheduled roughly six months out. We all know post halving, the price action is most likely going to reach a new all -time high and enter price discovery mode. Well, this analyst shares a very intriguing target. So let's break this down, shall we? And welcome to y 'all just joining us. Say hello in that live chat. Let me know where you're tuning in from. I stream live here seven days a week from Puerto Rico. Synonymous analyst Rhett Capital tells his followers on X that Bitcoin can rally above $80 per ,000 coin in the months following next month's event. For the halving, send it. Let's go. The Bitcoin halving cuts the Bitcoin miners' rewards in half, as we all know, expected to take place in April of next year. And while Rhett Capital is a long -term bull on Bitcoin, he notes that it is possible for Bitcoin to continue its downtrend before the halving, putting him here. Hang in there and make the most of any deeper downside in this pre halving period. You won't see the post halving parabola in the outlines here in this chart. It shows you in the yellow, the pre halving period, then in the pink, the post halving resistance, and then in the green, you can see the post halving parabola when we hit those new all -time highs. Now, Rhett notes that Bitcoin may repeat its 2019 bear market cycle when it traded within a triangle pattern before breaking out and starting off the bull market, as he shares here, if Bitcoin continues to form lower highs, could Bitcoin fill the CME, which is the Chicago Mercantile Exchange gap, at $20 ,000 later this year or in early 2024? So it makes a good point. There is currently a gap sitting at that $20 ,000 psychological level. And he continues, if so, the possible path could be consolidation to the apex of the black triangle before finally breaking out to close the halving. And you can see that triangle right here in this chart. Now, looking at the chart, he seemed to suggest that Bitcoin will confirm the triangle breakout in April of 2024, followed by a rally towards his long -term target. Now, let me know your thoughts, chat. How many of you agree that Bitcoin is likely to break out to a new all -time high, entering price discovery mode in 2024, the year of the halving? Let me know. And what are some of your targets? I'd also like to point out that the Stock the Flow model and Plan B, creator of that model, he suggests a $100 to $1 million range price for the King Crypto post halving. We also have some very other bullish predictions, which I cover on a daily basis here on the channel. But I'd love to know your personal prediction. I think we reached the cycle peak personally sometime in 2025, but I think 2024, we enter that price discovery mode. But I'd love to know your thoughts and your opinions in the comments right down below. And now let's break down our next story of the day and discuss the latest from the macro guru, Raoul Pal, who is suggesting that the Bitcoin market cap and crypto market cap as a whole does something between 5 and 10x for this upcoming bull cycle. Now, you do the math. We have a crypto market cap right now. I'm going to ballpark it at a trillion. We have a Bitcoin market cap. I'm going to ballpark it at a half a trillion, which is 500 billion. So hypothetically, if we were to 10x Bitcoin in and of itself, we're talking about a 5 trillion dollar Bitcoin market cap, which would be half the current market cap of gold. Now, with the entire crypto market cap, we can potentially hit 10 trillion. Now, also note, back in November of 2021, when we hit that all time high of 69 ,000 in November of last year, the total crypto market cap was just north of that 3 trillion dollar market cap. So he's so let's break this down and shout out to Raoul Pal. Here we go. Former Goldman Sachs executive Raoul Pal says the next bull cycle can bring an explosion in the market cap of all of the digital assets. That's right. In a new interview with Altcoin Daily, the macro expert says he expects a huge increase in the adoption of digital assets, and that can cause the total market cap of crypto to skyrocket as much as 900 % from its current value during the next bull market. Quoting the analysts here, obviously, I think we'll go well through new all time highs. I think the whole ecosystem of crypto will go from 425 million users where we're at today. And I think at the end of this cycle, there'll be a billion users by that kind of use cases in which we have talked about. And let's not forget, we have got central bank digital currencies that are known as CBDCs and stable coins. There is a lot going on still. So if this entire space is going to grow 2 .5 X in the number of users, well, the market cap of the entire space is five or 10 X. Send it. Let's go. Pal also says he is closely watching development of layer two Altcoin projects for new use cases, which could boost the value of their individual market cap, quitting him again. And then let's see how people value layer twos in this. We don't really know how layer twos accrue much value. Do we have to have a massive amount of transactions in which case then you need stuff like Ticketmaster with millions and millions and millions of transactions to drive value to those chains because they batched them and batched them down to Ethereum. So there you have it. And to watch this interview, he did Raul Pal, the macro guru with Altcoin Daily entitled best cryptocurrency investing strategy into 2024. Check the show notes, blow the video in the description and let me know your thoughts on his personal prediction. Do you feel post having that the market cap for the entire crypto market can likely 10 X from the current valuation along with Bitcoin surging 10 X to roughly a five trillion market cap? And hypothetically, if the macro guru is correct, where do you think that would likely take the Bitcoin price? Well, let's run some hypothetical math. Bitcoin was the 10 X from the current price action of 27 ,000. Well, that's $270 ,000 per coin. Take that. And as we all know, Bitcoin rises like that, the entire crypto market cap would go along for the ride, including the altcoin. So please let me know in the chat, fam, which altcoins, if any, are you most bullish on in the crypto market? And what are your thoughts surrounding Raul Pal being so bullish on Solana? A few months back, I read in an interview he shared that 80 % or more of his portfolio was specifically in an altcoin called Solana. So I'd love to know your thoughts. Obviously, he has a high risk tolerance as I look at that particular cryptocurrency to be very risky, especially with all that went in with the venture capitalists and SPF and FTX exchange pumping that particular all. So I'd love to know how you feel regarding all of that. And with that being shared, fam, now let's discuss Peter Thiel and his $4 million price prediction, as well as rumor has it, and I'll be covering this as well, that he dumps most of his Bitcoin position at the top of the market practically 30 days before the crash. So let's break this down because Peter Thiel was actually one of the keynote speakers at the Miami Conference for Bitcoin. And here's what he had to share as I transcribed his speech, and then we'll discuss him reportedly making $1 .8 billion cashing out on his eight -year bet around the time he was touting these all -time high predictions. So here we go. He says, the enemy's list is a list of people who I think are stopping Bitcoin. He says there is a lot of them. They tend to have nameless, faceless bureaucratic perspectives, which of course is one of the ways they hide. He goes on to share, we are going to try to expose them and realize that this is sort of what we have to fight for Bitcoin to go up, 10x or 100x from here. Now, just FYI, to give you some perspective, at the time he made this prediction on stage at the Bitcoin Miami Conference, Bitcoin was trading at roughly $43 ,000 per coin. So you run the math. 43 ,000 times 100x is over $4 million per Bitcoin. So you know that? Let's continue with what he had to share. The central banks are going bankrupt. We are at the end of the fiat money regime. How many of you agree with that statement? I agree there 100%. The first person on the list is Berkshire Hathaway CEO, Warren Buffett. Thiel put up a picture of Buffett with two of his most famous quotes about Bitcoin. One was rat poison and the other, I don't own any and I never will. I also like to point out now since then, Warren Buffett has much indirect exposure to Bitcoin through Bitcoin mining stock companies and etc. So go figure. If you can't beat them, join them, right? And he goes on. He opined, I think the direct in it. Yeah, and I say also Charlie Munger goes along with him. Now, feel further noted that Buffett has a bias and makes him long on fiat money system and money managers who follow the Berkshire Hathaway executives advice will pretend it's complicated to invest into Bitcoin. I think we call that FUD. Fear, uncertainty and doubt. Now expect nothing less from one of the wealthiest people in the fiat money matrix Ponzi scheme. You know what I mean? So just saying. The next person on the list of Bitcoin's enemies is the one and only JP Morgan Chase CEO, Jamie Dimon, or as Max Kaiser calls him, Jamie the tapeworm. They'll put diamonds picture up with the following quote. I don't call them crypto currencies. I call them crypto tokens because currencies have rules of law behind them, central banks and tax with authorities. Now you guys already know how I feel personally about JP Morgan Chase CEO, Jamie Dimon. So I won't go any deeper there. But anyways, we know he's an enemy of Bitcoin and always has been. The next picture he put up was of the BlackRock CEO, Larry Fink, with the following quote. I see huge opportunities in a digitized crypto blockchain related currency, and that's where I think it is going to go. Now just FYI, Larry Fink is the CEO of the largest asset management firm in the entire world, which owns a large share in virtually all the companies in the S &P 500, and that is BlackRock. They currently have over $10 trillion in assets under management. And for a long time, he was spreading FUD regarding Bitcoin. But guess what? Like I mentioned earlier, if you can't beat them, join them because they just most recently, a few months ago, they submitted their application for a spot Bitcoin ETF, which ultimately means they're going to be introducing this to the institutions which have trillions upon trillions of dollars as there's currently north of $700 trillion in total addressable market, and they want their piece of the Bitcoin pie. So he goes on to share, the PayPal co -founder added that Fink's quote is somewhat representative of the whole genre of Bitcoin attacks that need further context, stating that pro -blockchain is an anti -Bitcoin term, very typically. Feel then brought up the environmental, social, and governance, ESG standards, elaborating the following, the label they have come up with, and perhaps the real enemy is ESG. I think that ESG is just a hate factory. Also like to throw out there, Elon Musk, he stopped taking Bitcoin payments for Tesla, and he says it's because of the FUD regarding this ESG, and we all know it's not more than FUD, and it's already been proven that Bitcoin is more than 50 % clean energy. So the million dollar question, when will the world's supposedly wealthiest man, Elon Musk, when will he start accepting Bitcoin payments again for Tesla? Isn't that a great question, and wouldn't you love to know the answer to that? Maybe you should ask Elon and tag him on X and see what he says. Anyways, feel stressed. You can always ask the question, what's the difference between ESG and the CCP, the Chinese Communist Party? Well, when you think ESG, you should be thinking of CCP per H. Now, he also goes on to share, it is the finance gentocracy that runs the country through whatever silly virtue signaling or hate factory to them, just like ESG, the billionaire concluded. This is what I would call and what you have to think of as a revolutionary youth movement, and we have to just go out from this conference and take over the world. So there you have it, fam. What are your thoughts surrounding Peter Thiel's prediction that we are likely to 100X, and along with his enemies list, as it seems, a lot of the enemies have come around and now have direct exposure to BTC, but it doesn't stop there because around that time he was making this $4 million Bitcoin price prediction. He allegedly dumped most of his position cashing out and with over a billion dollars in profits for his fund. So let's also break this down as this is also very relevant. How many of you were able to watch the speech he gave at that Bitcoin conference? It was epic, to say the least. I recall it now. So here we go. Check it out. Peter Thiel's venture capital firm reportedly made $1 .8 billion closing out its crypto positions around the time when he was an early Bitcoin bull, still predicting the token's price to surge by 100X. And again, from 43 ,000 price action, 100X means over 4 million. Founders Fund had cashed out almost all of its bets on digital assets by March of 2022, according to the Financial Times report that cited people familiar with the matter. But Thiel was still backing Bitcoin, obviously, when he spoke at the crypto conference in Miami the following month. He went on to share where at the end of the fiat money regime, he said, adding that the token's price could increase 100 fold from its level at the time, which was reported at $44 ,000 per coin. That prediction was proven false and as rising interest rates and failures, the high profile firms like Celsius Network, Three Arrows Capital, FTX, Terra Luna dragged the crypto sector into the prolonged bearish winter. Now Bitcoin plummeted by over 60 % in 2022 and was trading at under 17 ,000 by the end of the year. And I believe the bottom currently for the cycle is 15 ,700. How many of you feel that that bottom is in? Let me know, chat. Founders Fund first started pouring money into crypto all the way back in 2014, when Bitcoin was only trading at roughly $750 per coin. So by the time Bitcoin reached its all time high in November of 2021, it had surged 8 ,500 % from that particular level. Not too shabby for a seven year run, wouldn't you say? Now Thiel has a long track record as one of Silicon Valley's most prominent tech investors. He took early stakes in startups, which include Facebook, Elon Musk's SpaceX, and ride hailing app Lyft, and even co -founded PayPal back in 1998. Thiel is also a high profile supporter of the Republican Party and continued to voice his support for Donald Trump since the former president left office in January of 2021. The fund held around two thirds of his portfolio in Bitcoin at one time, but now not has significant exposure to crypto according to FT's sources. So there you have it. Fam, what are your thoughts surrounding his prediction and him cashing out at around that time he was making those all time high predictions of 100X? Let me know, fam.

Simply Bitcoin
A highlight from BREAKING: Bitcoin Ban Gathers Momentum in the US | EP 827
"It's all going to zero against Bitcoin, it's going up for everyone, you're against Bitcoin, you're against freedom. Yo, welcome to Simply Bitcoin Live, we're your number one source for the peaceful Bitcoin revolution, core breaking news, culture, and matic warfare. We will be your guide through the separation of money and state. We got a lot of comments starting off basically saying click bait title ugh, someone else said FUD, no, not at all, not at all, especially if you guys, Denver Hoddle said FUD, no, not at all. If you guys have been tuned into this channel, we've been like surgically covering all the moves by the Biden administration, the moves by the anti -Bitcoin senator, Senator Elizabeth Warren, and yet they don't like Bitcoin, they don't want it to succeed. Bitcoin succeeding would mean that they would lose their privilege of being able to create money for free that everyone else has to work for. I think the worst thing that Bitcoiners could do is think that Bitcoin's going to win by default, right? This is an adoption race, this is about getting the people around you to understand and to wake up to the fact that it's not left versus right. It is green, the party of green versus the party of orange, the party of state currency, the party of central bank digital currencies, the party of inflation, the party of nihilism, the party of slavery versus the party of Bitcoin versus the party of orange versus the party of freedom, Bitcoin, prosperity, opportunity, optimism. So, yeah, it's not BS at all. And today we're going to cover the fact that Senator Elizabeth Warren's bill, so -called the Digital Assets Anti -Money Laundering Act, got nine new sponsors. This is a bipartisan bill. This is a Republican and Democrat bill that's being pushed in Congress, in the Senate specifically, that Pierre Richard would literally, literally said this is not simply Bitcoin or Nico's wording. He literally tweeted, if this bill passed, if this bill would pass, this bill would ban Bitcoin mining in the United States. And I would even make the case that the bill would basically ban Bitcoin in the United States. And that's exactly what the bill was designed to do. Make no mistake. So, yeah, you can like, you know, push it aside and say this is FUD, you know, this is you know, this is this is bullshit. This is a clickbait title. This is the separation of money and state. Take it seriously. There's a lot of vested interest that it's not convenient for them if Bitcoin wins. They want you under a central bank digital currency. They want to control what you think and what you say and what you do. And one of the most effective mechanisms to do that is by controlling money. If you control the money, you control the incentive structure. That's exactly what the whole social credit system is all about. Right in China. So, you know, if you talk against the state, you know, they take a percentage of your money right out of your paycheck. They don't allow you to travel. They don't allow you to sign your kids up to certain schools. That is a forcing function. And that is no longer theoretical. This has happened in the West already. I feel like people have just forgotten about the Canadian truckers protest. They literally froze people's bank accounts because they were protesting the government because of the lockdowns.
CoinDesk Podcast Network
A highlight from MARKETS DAILY: Crypto Update | Hints of Green Shoots After the Crypto Winter With Host Noelle Acheson
"This episode of Markets Daily is sponsored by Kraken. It's Tuesday, September 19th, 2023, and this is Markets Daily from CoinDesk. My name is Noelle Acheson, CoinDesk collaborator and author of the Cryptos Macro Now newsletter on Substack. On today's show, we're talking about hints of green shoots after the crypto winter, going by recent announcements of crypto funds. And just a reminder, CoinDesk is a news source and does not provide investment advice. Now, a markets roundup. Crypto volatility certainly does seem to be coming back, judging from price moves over the past 24 hours. Yesterday, we talked about how prices were rising. Well, around about midday Eastern time yesterday after we recorded, they fell sharply, with Bitcoin dropping almost 1 .7 % in half an hour. Early today, they rapidly climbed, with Bitcoin again breaking through $27 ,000. Then there was another sharp drop and another climb. And well, you get the picture. At 10 a .m. Eastern time today, Bitcoin was trading at $26 ,975, down just over 1 % over the past 24 hours. Ether was trading at $1 ,638, down 1 .2%. Bitcoin does seem to be leading the market here. Last week, I talked about Bitcoin dominance, which is Bitcoin's percentage of the total crypto market cap. Another metric worth following to gauge market sentiment is the ratio of Bitcoin and Ether prices. Simply, Bitcoin's price divided by Ether's price. When it is rising, Bitcoin is outperforming. And when it is falling, Ether is outperforming. Over the past month, this ratio has risen by more than 6%. In traditional markets, investors around the world are braced for a slew of central bank rates decisions this week. The announcements kick off with the U .S. Federal Reserve's decision tomorrow. And throughout the week, we will get announcements from 10 more, concluding with Japan on Friday. In the U .S., as we mentioned yesterday, expectations are for a pause. Tomorrow, we also get updated economic projections in which we could see the FOMC Committee signal even higher interest rate expectations and a pushing out on the calendar of rate cuts. The inflation data we saw last week showed that core inflation is still, at 4 .3 % year -on -year, more than double the Fed's target of 2%. And headline inflation for August showed a higher -than -expected uptick while the latest jobless claims continue to show employment strength. There is little reason for the Federal Reserve to even hint that rate cuts might be coming soon. Concerns about some tough language from the Fed tomorrow, as well as the impact of rising oil, have pushed U .S. stock indices lower in trading so far today, with the S &P 500 down almost 0 .4%, the Nasdaq down almost 0 .7%, and the Dow Jones down almost 0 .3%. Over in Europe, the FTSE 100 is up slightly, as traders await a U .K. inflation print tomorrow. This is expected to show an uptick to back above 7 % year -on -year, a figure which could influence the Bank of England's rates decision on Thursday. Eurozone indices also appear to be in a wait -and -see mode, with the German DAX down less than 0 .2 % and the Euro Stoxx 600 flat in trading so far today. In Asia, Japan was down almost 0 .9%, as investors sold chip stocks after Taiwan's TSNC, the world's largest chip manufacturer, signaled slowing demand. In China, the Shanghai Composite was more or less flat today, as traders await a decision from the central bank on the benchmark loan prime rate. At the monthly fixing tomorrow, the central bank is expected to leave the rate unchanged, as economic stabilization and a weakening yuan are easing the pressure to relax monetary policy. The Hang Seng index was feeling more buoyant today, rising almost 0 .4%. The relief may be the result of good debt restructuring news from the troubled Chinese real estate sector. In commodities, the Brent crude benchmark continues its climb, almost reaching $96 per barrel earlier this morning. It has since retraced, but is still up over 1 % over the past 24 hours, currently trading at around $95 .40 per barrel. The rise continues to be driven more by supply constraints than by strong demand. On top of the production cuts from Saudi Arabia and Russia, we now have lower production likely in the US. Yesterday, the US Energy Information Administration said that output from the top US shale -producing regions is on track to fall for the third consecutive month in October to its lowest level since May. Gold continued to inch higher, up over 0 .6 % to trade at $1 ,935 per ounce. Stay tuned. After the break, we'll take a look at hints of a new season for crypto funds. Meet the all -new Kraken Pro, the powerful, customizable, beautiful way to trade crypto. It's Kraken's most powerful trading platform ever, packed with trading features like advanced order management and analytics tools, all in a redesigned, modular trading interface. So head to pro .kraken .com and trade like a pro. Not investment advice. Some crypto products and markets are unregulated. The unpredictable nature of the crypto assets market can lead to loss of funds and profits, maybe subject to capital gains tax. Welcome back. After a long, empty crypto winter, it looks like activity in crypto funds is finally picking up. Yesterday, Coindesk reported that blockchain capital has raised $580 million for two new crypto funds, one for early -stage companies and protocols, and another for late -stage investments from Series B onward. This is notable, given that most of blockchain capital's investors are traditional institutions such as university endowments, private foundations, financial institutions, sovereign wealth funds and US pension plans. While they may not be ready to buy crypto assets directly, institutions are investing in the industry. Also this morning, we heard that the digital assets subsidiary of Nomura, Japan's largest investment bank and brokerage group, is launching an investment vehicle for institutions called the Bitcoin Adoption Fund. The fund offers long -only exposure to Bitcoin, with custody handled by Comainu, which was founded in 2018 by Nomura in partnership with crypto companies Ledger and CoinShares. Those aren't the only significant signs of increased activity we've had over the past week. We also heard that Electric Capital is aiming to raise $300 million for a new fund, Cassie Kornbank, the largest traditional bank in Thailand, has created a $100 million fund to invest in Web3 and AI startups, crypto platform BitGet has established a $100 million fund to invest in the trading ecosystem, and investment firm Reverie has launched a $20 million crypto venture fund. All this over the past seven days. Green shoots, maybe? That's it for today's show. You can reach us at podcasts at coindesk .com.

"In the next twelve to eighteen months like ebay. New goal is customer driven. So that aligns with susannah passion to bring affordable renewable energy product to all my clients and i really aligned with mike's mission in breed new role that we do so through innovation and technology to simply what otherwise would have been a very complex and if you transactions for two years that i've been engaged with and working with my is great because we share the same passion to facilitate a transaction and more efficient manner. So we can be a more customer driven team to produce more net. Positive results. does your experience. And how does your skill set mesh with what he renewables trying to do on the renewable technology side. Yes i have led numerous and the first power purchase agreement before it was actually even known to the industry. And since then i've been very involved with the hyper scale client that i work with this power purchase agreement which include microsoft google equinoxes apple facebook at combined goldman-sachs john hopkins and then being a first employee at ebay as one. Oh two. I play a very significant art to be one of the first in starting to think about how we can actually make the market face to be more efficient fall client to accelerate the renewable energy by so working with my and fred who i really respect that both rockstars in their own sector. We can be more passionate to actually bring out skillset and knowledge to good use so we can actually derive a growth strategy. Took to accomplish what we wanted to do to meet the passion and the pledge that my clients have done in this decade and this is more kind of a personal question too but from from more for my sake but what are we going to learn from. Susanna cast a person. Esl making a change in carbon neutral is not about company strategy country pledge although i very much am very pleased right now that the new administrators inside dan rea nomination that we have pivot back into driving. Us into the right to treachery It wasn't a case for the past administrator. Be out. South is the most important it starts with us with an open mind and i don't know about learning from me. I think you'd be really kind. Fred at learning is actually bi directional and we do that with each other. Every person we talked about we talked to every day we can learn something and we can impart wisdom to someone. And hopefully we make a difference in the pathway. But i'm in computer science in heart so we willing to make a change is one thing but be able to measure yourself in this particular topic as net positive results will be something that i have. The skills set and i've teached that at stanford In terms of how do we measure carbon neutrality. And how do we measure a clean. Energy future is something that i'm very passionate at Working with the future generation. So i think that would be good. For example how do we measure how many tons millions tons. I hope that we can avoid emission. We can reduce we can remove and my latest invention is actually talking about is all about reusing. This emission in gigawatt scale to provide society benefit. So be able to provide this close nuked measure your own success. I think is something that maybe i can help someone to learn and be part of and we should always measure our own goals. Why no. I'm certainly looking forward to working with you. Myself chatted with this. What do you hope to accomplish alongside myself. Mike and the renewable team in the next twelve to eighteen months. Yeah so again. You know it's going to be very boring to susanna than say. The same thing is resells year. Renewable need to demonstrate resells. And i just have a great session. With mike out we both aligned with live formed. We have a four hundred percent growth from how we gonna end this year to me. I think that would be fantastic. That would be able to have that kind of growth and then big we need to basically catch out the opportune time. Right now is to pick up to speed. And let's get going is wonderful to hear all the companies that make the carbon-neutral plash is more like which company do not have a copy neutral flash right which is a oto flip from how i kind of started talking about sustainable development and most of the people don't even know what i'm talking about but this is wonderful to actually see to see change now. We need to basically pick up to speed. And i like to actually help might to accomplish the goal about four ex-pros off for renewable as an adviser and then i hope that we're gonna do for x grow per quarter that's basically how we should be driving outsell. We do need to pick up the speed to fight the energy. The climate prices and energy transition. Thank you so much that miss susanna cast once again huge. Shout out to everybody on the renewable team might name her and nemer. Al gallo myself and everybody else has helped. Make this thing possible. And of course the entire board as well all the folks over in telemetry we've had a tremendous twenty twenty one and we're going to go out in twenty twenty one with a bang and get off to a tremendous.

Ceo of the california iso Is going to join the renewable board. And we're excited to announce susannah cass. A power one hundred climate fifty member one of the top most influential climate change thought leaders in the industry and she's also an energy fellow at stanford university among many other things is also joining the renewable executive team as an executive advisor. So very excited about what's going on right now with the renewable team as we get ready to close out twenty twenty one here. Is mike namer in his thoughts. On adding mr steve berberick to that you renewable board brad. Today i'm pleased to announce some tremendous additions of executive statue for renewable. So i we have joining us on. Our board is mr steve. Berger steve is a former president ceo of the california so former president of geo fifteen association of the largest global. Reduce operators is a former president of the ice. Oh and our te'o council and association of the north american oh and artigas brings inexperienced us that we didn't have you know i'm a former oil and gas after forty years. I don't have a lot of power experience. you don't get much more experience. Mr burg steve is gonna add that experience in his executive position of running the couch for for the last ten years. The president and ceo. And it's gonna bring an experienced us we just didn't have to before you know conceptually. I know however things should work united traitor commodities a combined. You just gotta know how to plug it in. There's a lot of spots in power that i don't know how to plug it in. What i'm thinking. Steve can contribute. They help me plug in with our customers looking for making irritable much more successful now. We had a chance to catch up with mr sebert as well as susanna caz and get their thoughts on joining the renewable group. Here is steve berg talking about joining the renewable board number one. What intrigued you about joining the renewable board. Well the humor awards. The superintendent one is people and then to the product. And i i think the people there involved the renewal have a vision and expertise and get can provide some significant night. I also think that we're an inflection point. Now where more and more communities and businesses and others are going to be interested in procuring renewables and procure them at a cost effective basis and. That's exactly what he renewables dust so the product is great. The people are great. That's why you'll have the opportunity to see firsthand about the aspirations of communities that are interested in finding clean energy in creating jobs in their local communities and i saw what their aspirations or. I saw them firsthand. I got to know those people. I know what their value proposition is. What they're looking for. And i think that's the kind of information i can. You know instruction. I can bring to the team further. These are more. Mike evasive but the entire industry is on a significant change. Right now from you know from big big generation transmission lines more microbe distribution for resilience for all kinds of other reasons. And those the kinda value propositions of urinals earning so i think matching up what i've seen with what they can do. We can bring to market quite effectively not to mention too and i know we touched on this a little bit on the podcast as well but you know doing what you guys did over in california and the work and experience that you've had their sets a really good example and just gives you a great baseline for kind of how the rest of the country can kind of adapt to a more renewable and sustainable future as well early. Used to give a speech. When i was the ceo so basically the speech was called. This is coming to a theater near you. So i would tell them. What a lot of people california's on. Yeah just you know a little bit crazed if you will but in fact the cost of rubles have come down dramatically. It's the cheetah's former generation now and it whether you believe in trying to decarbonised brit or just simply economics all of those trends points more rubles on the grid. More storage more of that. Technology and as communities become more aware of their of the value of the dieting proposition. Two constituencies are looking for. They are going to pursue that as well. I'll also note that. Many of the corporations in the united states have made commitments to carbon reduction and so two recurring clean energy to produce the products and services. So i think the market is immense. Get chatter with this. The energy transition is in full swing. What's it been like now this last year so that you've been able to kinda sit back and watch all this unfold in retirement. A great question. I to candy with your retirement condescending because i get back in the game well i you know i. I always felt that the industry that i was in is intriguing. It's it's even cool and to see the changes that occurred in california and to see them spreading into know how to integrate renewables and how dispatch storage. And do all those things They still intrigued me. In the technology's evolving very quickly too so being just being a curious kind of person being part of that and continued to pursue that is is still a passion of mine and i still want to be involved in that so while i may play a little bit more off now more. I'm involved in the single energy system in the transition that it's into going in under and frankly i talked to some italians yesterday. As an example this is a worldwide phenomenon. Just here not here just in. us things. That mr steve berg once again. Here's mike nimmer. On the announcement of miss susanna cass joining the renewable team as an executive advisor susannah. Brace a world of experience. When i say world i do mean world. She is the data center adviser for the united nations sustainable development goals team and so she lectures all around the world and that experience has now been given to our executive team by having suzanne on board with this. I met susannah back at the name. A conference in october of two thousand nineteen. Our listeners are very familiar with name. Because for biweekly name. A news minute that we do and susanna and i stayed in touch. Continue to talk until the time was right in that time is now so she's officially aren't executive advisor. Suzannah's experience ranges all the way from being the ceo of ebay international to be an energy fellow both stanford and cornell university. She lectures all around the world. She's a guest lecture. At the national university of singapore she does research for the intergovernmental panel on climate change and most recently susannah has the distinction being now a member of the power one hundred and a member of the climate fifty of the top most influential climate change leaders in the net positive impact for the ict sector so bringing her experience. Not just in the data center world or in the ebay world with a fortune fifty world that she participates in bringing that experience to our team speaks volumes. It helps us gain traction. We probably wouldn't have gained without her because she is known all the way around the world. So i miss susanna. Cast and mr steve. Berberick gives us a worldwide presence on both their accounts because both of them lecture not just in the united states but around the world and we are very proud to have both been joining the renewable team. Take that once again. Mr mike nemo and here is susanna. Cass and her thoughts on what it means to join the renewable team in what she hoped to accomplish.

"You can learn more about the company over E renewed net, give us a follow over at LinkedIn, and of course you can follow us on Twitter as well at era new 2020. That's at renew 2020. All right, let's jump into the conversation with mister Daniel deuce. Longtime veteran of the solar industry he was doing it back when they were still calling him a tree hugging hippy, yes, that's right. Mister Daniel deuce when he was trying to sell solar way back when some great stories from him about the early struggles and challenges of the solar industry to where we are now 15 plus years later in his decorated career, president of I son, but again, great stuff as far as what he's been through, what the industry's been through. The challenges they're facing and what's ahead and heck, we even learn what a bragga watt is. So without further ado, here is president of I son, mister Daniel deuce. What is it about the solar industry? What is about renewable industry that got you into it? And you've become kind of a rockstar since you jumped into it. 15 years and solar and never regret. I'm kidding. Absolutely lots of it..

"Charging, your house, your car, whatever. My son's gonna be able to take care of you from soup to nuts. Absolutely. The approach that we take in the why we're in businesses to accelerate the adoption to clean our normal energy and it wasn't always clean renewable energy, right? Proud of the advancement and solar. We were still looking. Our business in our DNA is to be innovative and to try to help accelerate technological improvements. Right now, there's no greater cause. There's no greater investment that can be made clean renewable solar energy. And so yeah, we approach the business from the point of view. How can we help accelerate that adoption? And how can we best serve our customers who are going to want to want to do that? Though building a platform, really that focuses on the transition to EVs and how it impacts each sector. So how it's going to impact the homeowner, every homeowner who has their car is going to have a job. How can we help where they work have charging at their at their offices and their buildings for their fleets? That will now impact those commercial businesses, but also like the industrial size projects. In our industry, they call it C and I, commercial and industrial, but I really view it as two separate unique segments. The industrial side of it is larger arrays maybe up to 2050 megawatts that serve micro grids for big companies that might do community solar projects that might be investments by the utilities. And so that's a different market. But that market is going to see increased demand based on this as well. There will be some homeowners who don't have the ability to have solar on their house. Maybe they're a renter or maybe they're not going to be there very long. Maybe the largest trees in their yard, but they want to have clean renewable energy. So we can build using our development assets internally and our utility division internally, we can build community solar assets that can allow those residential customers to access cleaner noble energy..

"Adopt new technologies and that's what eventually, you know, that sort of that being part of our DNA sort of let us to solar 2009. We pivoted and became involved in solar and quickly dominated our space. We had a lot of experience in building large fast paced complex construction projects. And we are quickly able to scale and take on a lot of projects and complete them on time with real quality work and it differentiated us in the industry. And quickly dominated our space, there was periods throughout the 2014, 15, 16 time frame where we were performing all of the big projects in Vermont or most of them, if not all. And we're involved in one way or another on 60 to 70% of every solar project built in Vermont, which led us to the question of what's next, we're doing really great meaningful work here. We're helping to transition the world from dirty energy to clean energy. And we believe today that clean renewable solar energy is the most important investment we can make and we want to be involved in accelerating that process as much as we can. And so 2016, 17, time frame, we started thinking about what was next. How do we expand and had a lot of different opportunities and settled on merging into a spac and becoming publicly listed now, funny thing, June of 2019 and leading up to that spacs wasn't all that popular now. It's like the latest in hottest thing on Wall Street. And I found myself in New York, talking to bankers and explaining what a spack was and describing it in a special purpose acquisition company and now happen an Uber in my Uber driver's giving me the latest and greatest spac tip. So, you know, it's but again, to what we do, we were there a little bit early. We were there being innovative looking at how do we grow? How do we impact the market that we want to exist in? And that opportunity came before us and merged into it and have gone through the full decent backing process. So hey, Jeff, I've got a question for you. In 16 and 17 when you're doing the solar work and Vermont, were you the contractor that they hired to install it or did you actually develop the projects? Yeah, so our strategy has been continues to be working with key development partners to help get projects to the construction phase. It will help sometimes with design will help with budgeting and work with them to get their projects completed on time and on budget and obviously with large solar projects. There's a lot of moving parts to it. There's multiple levels of debt. There might be a separate asset owner. There'll be a Lance separate landowner with lease. There may be separate off taker agreements, depending on the type of project..

"Are you seeing that as an emerging topic that folks want to know more about will certainly everyone who got impacted by the freeze you know and there were many are going to be looking at that for a long time to come but i would say we're seeing more so it when it comes to policy our readers and folks that we work with are mostly interested in how that policy is impacting projects financial flow of of future projects. And then of course the technology that would potentially help enable things that those policies have to enact so for instance you know the weatherization of natural gas facilities pump houses by blinds. Compressors et cetera. You know that obviously would require some level of technology and so you then have to look at what's going to be applied. Potentially that would allow that to occur. That's what we're seeing more. So and then of course the policies could affect depending on how you interpret them how texas and houston to an extent are going to support or not support various types of energy sources. You know we've been great about an all the above policy in texas but some of these Policies in discussions are not as favorable to all types of energy. And i think that could have an impact as to what we move going forward for folks at home that. Want to subscribe to the newsletter. How they go about doing so sure. I'll just have to hit up energy. Next now dot com. And that's really the spot that you can see and get subscribe to the newsletter and see everything we're doing around the energy transition technology is moving forward. Now i know when united chitchatted a few months back one of the things you guys do outside of putting up tremendous content. Is you guys you know host events and you've got some tremendous events coming up right here in the great city of houston just outside in the woodland's of course what are some of the summit. You guys got coming up and what are you. i mean. obviously you're excited about all of them. But what some of the folks that have never been to an energy next summit or conference what it. What can they expect. You bet absolutely say We're very excited because we're bringing four of our summits together because obviously travels been impacted for people this year. So instead of stretching those out to individual cities individual rio venues. We've put them all together as you mentioned the willens under one innovated energy week. So that's number one. We're super excited to bring together so many different technologies These all have conferences expos demos. So it's it's a really great opportunity for folks around energy transition energy digitalization emerging tax.

What are you guys finding as far as you know with infrastructure. And what have you how senova can make a difference in so that you know what when power does go off if i've got solar panels of i've got battery storage. Guess what it doesn't mean. I'm waiting for centerpoint for the next day to our long. That's a that's a really good point obviously is driven a lot of business for us this year and starting with winter storm jury right back in february but i have a child sitting at home right now not be able to go to school because school the nap power and it's in the heart of the heart of houston does not outskirts right. Elyssa say the school has some money too right so when you look at this you'd say why why are we doing. This and individuals are around town increasing. Like why are you sitting without power. when candidly you're disposable. Income is really nice and the answer is is that there is no good answer any more about it. You shouldn't have to deal with this. You're you're sitting there. Depending upon a monopoly that has zero competition that kind of just basically gets when it gets to it. I mean mother some efforts and so forth but at the end of the day. What do you mean. You're depending on a single wire on something that was created at the turn of the last century but the center before that minutes crazy. That's crazy they couldn't do virtual school yesterday because there's too many kids that didn't have power in their own homes. So we see a lot of i. I would say that especially in houston has been afflicted with. Oh that's impressive. That's never going to happen again. You know tax day flood than it was. What was the fourth of july flawed mean. We had a flight without a flat on every holiday at christmas right And then he is hundred year floods yet five hundred year two thousand year flood. Somebody obviously busted the math on the probability analysis right but when we you look at all this in including this week You say you know what. There's a clear trend here measured in years measured in multiple data points here. What about this makes you think that things are going to get better. Have you seen any movement at the federal state or local level that really transformed the region's infrastructure and deal with the kind of issues that we have. Have you acknowledged that there is a problem call. Climate change it is real. It is not a democratic conspiracy or whatever else that's been talked about it is science it is happening. We can all debate about how much of this imposed in created by man in the burning of fossil fuels but at the end of the day the risks associated with. This is the right way to think about. It is are so huge that. Why don't we spend some money and investment especially when it can create a lotta jobs and wealth in in in the other community benefits to mitigate that risk if not eliminate that risk and. i think that's where more and more people are clearly coming out Even ins houston saying like look. We don't with this is like sitting there and just insisting that you're gonna watch black and white rabbit tv and forget about the the streaming flat-panel. Tv's everybody else asked.

There's just you can see there's another of airplanes out ahead of you and it. It hits home be just you. Can't you can't conceive of how big and how rich this event really is. But that's always a an eye opening moment because there's a there's a brief stretch fifty feet cruising along us Whitman road where feels like okay. Ultralights vintage and then into ultralights. This is kind of the end of it and then oh wait no. There's another there's another. What thousand two thousand airplanes. Whatever that we get in the south forty and so many just just great people. Great i in a very different vibe from north forty are to describe but it's a. It's a different vibe. Because it's different neighborhood. It's a great sign of how the event is growing too. I mean the even. Even since i've been here. The south forty has really expanded in terms of the infrastructure that we have there and It's regular use because we we routinely fill it now with the with the number of aircraft coming in and we're continuing to expand the number of parking areas with a goal to to not have to turn away anybody who wants to fly in and that's a it's an admirable goal and then and then having so many airplanes that we've got to figure out ways to expand like that is is a fascinating problem that we're fortunate to have. That's that's for sure. Now there is I said contiguous neighborhoods So i i guess maybe this next thing is like the hawaii of of the venture grounds So you get on a bus and go about ten minutes south and then you end up at You know if the if our museum is kind of a hidden hidden gem of the venture grounds.

Those things that goes up on those facebook means pages like your anal- share that every third week of august because it blows up on old people facebook or something like that. That's like the most traffic traveling article on bleeding nation. Ever by the way. I did a lot of that. Probably stemmed from that article it it did. Yeah it was like people sharing. I remember like the at sites like stealing like ripping my image that i made like with a crappy. Ms pay like outright to do the just a highlight where the e is. He's the so obviously like ripped off for me that it was the people could have done it better but yeah so i think that's i guess i don't know where i was going to the point of that But i guess that you'd like the kelly. Green arrow logo bet did the entire eagle. Because that's really are there the eagles. It's an entire eagle. It's not just a burnett other teams have birds like the ravens in the falcons like the whole thing. So let's find or whatever. But i'm looking at the A west of eagles logo history on my phone. Okay so do you like eighty seven ninety five that eagle or like forty eight to sixty eight that eagle I'm talking about this at the standard any kind of kelly-green thing you have basically any all of the green hats. I have have the scene kind of tell you. Green eagle facing left holding a football in. It's one claw. i also actually have here. That has the white eagle on one. But obviously that's not as good until it greenness better. There's the one they were from sixty. Nine hundred. seventy. Two is a little to the hokey militaristic. I would say it conjures up some images of things. That probably shouldn't be controversial. Or oh i do. I typed it up and like the seventh image. That comes up. Is the clearly ms pain thing that you did. If you type in eagles logo i page and it's this one links to bgn not some rip off you for four phillies sports blog. or whatever. del mckissick in the chat here says ten we have an actual green not -til looking color. Yeah i mean that's one of my biggest things with midnight green. It's a neck. You didn't have to color is that that's what happened right. Nike didn't have that color swatch in their repertoire. So that was that doesn't make any sense though. That the uniqueness of it. I think that's why the puma and reebok era. It works a little bit better. I don't know people. Like the unique thing i dunno. It's dislike unique. Doesn't necessarily good. It's not like real. It's a real thing it's not like it's not even like truly green. It is like this. Like teal like aquamarine. Whatever kind of like color depending on the lighting and everything. Yeah that's a big reason. Why at kelly green is so simple because you look at that color like i think maybe thinking about it this way. Take a random group of one hundred people kind of like family feud style and like show him. The eagles jersey in like how many people out of those hundred are definitely in the say like green for that color. I tell you it's not like a hundred hundred whereas we do. That was highly green. Everyone big greek. That simple one time. It mrs obviously more personal touch here. I was sitting on my step as a kid. I was wearing a kelly green jersey. I believe it was wilder montgomery killing time before the eagles started on a sunday or something and someone is walking down the street. I think he was my neighbor. But like not my next door neighbor. You live further down the block. And he's like is that a judge jersey notes as you first of all. Why would you think if the jets jersey when you're in philadelphia but second that speaks to it. The lack of uniqueness and a jersey color that probably is a little bit more prominent and again. That's very specific. one off. Tell what had happened at a young age for me. That kind of thought that. Oh these are the same as the jets. No i mean. That's definitely a fair point. I mean they're they're more similar. Of course like. I do think they are definitely different. I definitely do anything reality. It's more ten to the jets have gone by era to anyway. The mark gastineau era of the edens. Yeah because they have like the jets of the darker green going on. Its own a parallel. What the jets. I guess is more similar. The eagles current green. Than telling i feel like their jerseys like heavy on white too. I just feel like. I associate that with probably green just about shelly. Green not much about like the white accents like it is the jets. How would you split up the jerseys. You asked me if there. They had four jerseys. Yeah had three times to wear alternates. What is your split. So i was trying to think about this. I was like thinking hard about. This is very important hypothetical. I think so. Yeah we're assuming four yes so it's the midnight green Top white top. Blacktop and kelly greentop would just go by topsy. Mix them that's the panthers where applicable Think i was trying to think. I think between like i'm thinking about to like doing two for one and then one for the other. Obviously that's the flip that makes sense. If you're doing math by near.

I usually <Speech_Male> feel pretty satisfied <Speech_Male> after that. <Silence> Our flying <Silence> so <SpeakerChange> <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> well and i believe <Speech_Male> i believe <Speech_Male> that your article <Speech_Male> has actually <Speech_Male> gained some <Speech_Male> questions along <Speech_Male> the way <Speech_Male> Did we want to discuss <Speech_Male> some of the questions that came <Speech_Male> in. And yeah <Speech_Male> so. I've <Speech_Male> had a lot of feedback <Speech_Male> which i really appreciate <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> I've had a lot of feedback <Speech_Male> from <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> Para motor pilots <Speech_Male> should have reached <Speech_Male> out and said hey you know. Thanks <Speech_Male> for for representing <Speech_Male> us. We really <Speech_Male> appreciate this. <Speech_Male> This sport that <Speech_Male> we love sharing so <Speech_Male> much being in <Speech_Male> sport aviation <Speech_Male> and <Speech_Male> got a lot of good feedback <Speech_Male> about that <Speech_Male> I've <Speech_Male> also had some <Speech_Male> prior airplane <Speech_Male> pilots. Reach out <Speech_Male> to me and say hey <Speech_Male> kind of like you. I never <Speech_Male> considered the sport <Speech_Male> until now. <Speech_Male> What are my <Speech_Male> next steps <Speech_Male> And i think <Speech_Male> it begins <Speech_Male> with <Speech_Male> finding not <Speech_Male> just a training <Speech_Male> program but a <Speech_Male> good <Speech_Male> training program <Speech_Male> that has a <Speech_Male> well rounded syllabus <Speech_Male> that is kind of <Speech_Male> structured in that <Speech_Male> building block <Speech_Male> approach <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> That you're not <Silence> only getting <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> training out <Silence> in the field <Speech_Male> but there should <Speech_Male> also be an <Speech_Male> academic <Speech_Male> curriculum behind <Speech_Male> it as well because you're not <Speech_Male> just trying to gain <Speech_Male> skill and experience <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> You're trying <Speech_Male> to gain knowledge <Speech_Male> as well not <Speech_Male> only knowledge how to <Speech_Male> operate legally <Speech_Male> and <Speech_Male> safely but also <Speech_Male> responsibly <Speech_Male> as <Speech_Male> well <Speech_Male> So i <Silence> think that you know <Speech_Male> reaching <Speech_Male> out to these schools. <Speech_Male> Getting an idea <Speech_Male> of what their <Speech_Male> syllabus looks <Speech_Male> like <Speech_Male> talking to their instructors <Speech_Male> and seeing if <Speech_Male> you're a good personality <Speech_Male> match for them <Speech_Male> is very important. <Speech_Male> <hes> asking <Speech_Male> questions <Speech_Male> like how <Speech_Male> long have you been flying <Speech_Male> for. How long have you <Speech_Male> been training for <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> Where does your syllabus <Speech_Male> come from. Is it something <Speech_Male> that you have made <Speech_Male> an implemented <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> Is that something. That you've <Speech_Male> adopted from the us <Speech_Male> epa or <Speech_Male> air sports connection. <Speech_Male> I think those are all <Speech_Male> really valid questions <Speech_Male> to ask <Speech_Male> about.

"Like i am flying with that thing like i'm looking i with and we just both have the same understanding that we're just just want to go out there and fly. I'm convinced by the way that birds enjoy flying. It's not just a way of life for them. It's not just their wave survival like they enjoy it too you know. It's a pretty safe assumption. The so those are the first two things that really come to mind. But yeah i try and describe this. This experience of intense focus and emotion and passion that all takes place right before launch. Like you got all your straps buckled down the motors. I'd lean on your back. You're getting your risers in your hands. You find your center point on the wing and you're just take all of these emotions that you're feeling and you find just a way to harness them and it's it's the highest high and it's such a high. It's almost like a low And the i try and describe. That was something that i call the paradox para motor in. And what i mean by that. Is that somehow unbelievably. Every next flight is better than the one that came before it. And i think that probably all professional pilots out there at some point in their flankers have kind of found monotony. And you know pressing the autopilot going from point a to point b and you know. They feel like they've of plateaued at some point and they fall out of love with flying not always but sometimes i'm sure many can can relate with that with para motor in. It just keeps getting better. There's always something new to to learn. There's always someone new to fly with. There's always a new flying sight to fly from there's always a new glider to fly. There are always new experiences to be had. Because this isn't just a job. You aren't just going from point. Eight point be you're going out there to to have fun and experience flight in a new way every single time and.
