Simply Bitcoin
A highlight from Why MrBeast NEEDS to Adopt Bitcoin | EP 864
"It's all going to zero against Bitcoin. It's going up for everyone. You're against Bitcoin, you're against freedom. Yeah, welcome to another episode of Simply Bitcoin Live. We're your number one source for the peaceful Bitcoin revolutionary, groundbreaking news, culture, and matter of warfare. We will be your guide through the separation of money and state. Today, we're going to talk about the most famous and most successful YouTuber on the face of the planet, MrBeast. And I know what a lot of you guys are thinking. This Bitcoin show, what are we like? Why are we talking about that? Well, we talk a lot about the concept of breaking the Bitcoin echo chamber. Bitcoin content creators and just Bitcoiners in general, we talk a lot about Bitcoin because we love it and we understand how it's going to fundamentally change the world. But what happens more often than not is that we're preaching the gospel to other Bitcoiners. Our challenge is to break through, break through that so -called echo chamber so that the ethos, the ideas of Bitcoin start to seep into mainstream consciousness. We win over the culture. We win over the information war. Our challenge is how do we get Bitcoin culture into the mainstream? That's our battle over the next five, ten years. Corey Clipston, CEO, founder of Swan, wrote the race to avoid the war. It is vital for us to orange pill as many people as humanly possible before the inevitable clash happens between the nation state governments and Bitcoin. You're seeing that with Elizabeth Warren. We have a thread today about the European Union. They're so happy. They announced the rollout of the digital ID that's going to be paired with a digital wallet. Remember how they said that that was a conspiracy theory for so long? That's coming. You have Christine Lagarde, head of the European Central Bank, basically getting all giddy talking about the introduction of the European Central Bank digital currency. You have the Fed now that's being rolled out here in the United States. They just sued Bitcoin magazine for making fun of them, right? So it might seem like it's a big nothing burger. It might seem like noise. But the reality is that as Bitcoiners, we have to break this Bitcoin echo chamber because the reality is that our opponents, right, central banks, fiat money, really, they don't really have the truth on their side. Like if people had all the facts and they're like, OK, you're completely informed. You get to choose between one and the other. Ninety nine point nine nine nine percent of people would pick Bitcoin. Obviously, it's deflationary and it's censorship resistant. Governments are always going to want to censor and they're always going to want to inflate because that's how they pay for themselves. So when we talk about Joe Rogan, we talk about Russell Brand, we talk about Mr. Beast, even though it might not seem Bitcoin related, it's really, really important that these people use their platform because it's a lot of normies, a lot of people that are not necessarily into Bitcoin. And they use their platform to talk about Bitcoin. You've seen Tim Pool do this. You've seen Joe Rogan do this all in a positive light, of course. I'm not sure if Russell Brand has mentioned Bitcoin. And this has all happened because the likes of Max Keiser have done the rounds on these shows. And Max Keiser was telling people to buy Bitcoin since 2013. And they heard this and they chose not to listen. And then the number go up, does its thing. Right. And eventually number go up. You know, it's a very harsh teacher. And then people are just like, you know what? Max was pretty right about this Bitcoin stuff. And then they see what's going on with the government money. And they're like, OK, this is crazy. Now, we did have confirmation that Mr. Beast did mention that he owned one point five million dollars with the Bitcoin on Logan Paul show. So he does have Bitcoin. I don't think he takes it very seriously. But what I wanted to cover today is this legacy media hit piece on Mr. Beast, basically criticizing him for him making a video where he. Made wells and he supplied water, clean drinking water to five hundred thousand people in Africa.
The Podcast On Podcasting
A highlight from Ep402: Turn Expectation Into Appreciation
"If you have five listeners and you're grateful for those five listeners and be able to serve them every single week or every single day, but you're sitting there grateful that you can serve these five people, you have a lower expectation and a higher amount of gratitude. You're going to be happy. Most hosts never achieved the results they hoped for. They're falling short on listenership and monetization, meaning their message isn't being heard and their show ends up costing them money. This podcast was created to help you grow your listenership and make money while you're at it. Get ready to take notes. Here's your host, Adam Adams. This week I saw a reel on social media. I don't know if they're called reels or stories or what, but this week I saw one and it was profound, if you will. It was an author of a book who was talking about how people become unhappy. Like, what is it that makes you an unhappy person? And he started talking about basically the dynamic between two different things. And I can't quote him and I'm not going to take credit for it, but unfortunately I'm not going to quote him. I don't remember where it was or how to find it. Anyway, he talked about the difference between our expectations and our gratitude. And he basically says like, we're extremely happy people if we have very low expectations and very high gratitude. And we're still happy if we have high expectations, so long as our gratitude is a little bit bigger. And we're still still happy when our gratitude is not very high, but our expectations are even smaller. What is the point? What is the common ground here? The common ground is when you are more grateful than you have expectations, then you're going to be happy. And this I know goes into many, many forms of your life, your podcast. If you have an expectation of I want a million listeners, and then you have a hundred thousand people listening, you're going to be like, I need 10 times that, and you're going to be crying. You're going to be sad. You're going to be depressed. Why? The reason why is because your expectation was set pretty high and your gratitude wasn't there. Now, if, for example, you have five listeners and you're as grateful as heck for those five listeners and be able to serve them every single week or every single day, depending on how often you publish your podcast, but you're sitting there grateful that you can serve these five people. You have a lower expectation and a higher amount of gratitude. You're going to be happy. Now I want to talk a little bit about our title today is turn your expectation into appreciation, turn the expectation into appreciation. So again, if your appreciation or your gratitude is high and your expectations are low, you're going to be great. So when you're dating somebody, you want to have a low expectation. Like if you're thinking, oh, I'm going to get lucky tonight, for example. And you don't, well, maybe you're going to be depressed and maybe you're going to think that it was a bad date. I don't know who you are or what you think, but just let's just use that as an example. Let's say that you are the type of person who definitely wants to get married. And you're with somebody who doesn't want to get married. And the thing that you think is, man, I don't have everything that I want. I don't have everything I want. I expect this. I expect marriage or whatever. You're going to be ungrateful and you're going to have high expectations. So are you going to be happy or sad? You're going to be sad. Let's look at all those people that complain all the time. Think about somebody that, you know, maybe it's more than one person that, you know, but just maybe even close your eyes. If it's safe, think about somebody who is always complaining. Well, that person has their gratitude level is way too low. They need to start freaking appreciating some shit. Don't they need to start looking at the world and seeing how great the world is. Now there is optimists and there's pessimists and you might say, no, I'm neither. I'm a realist. I assume you probably are thinking that you're a realist because everybody says that they're a realist, but really they're either an optimist or a pessimist. And so if you're looking at things and you're always looking at the bright side of stuff, you're probably going to be more grateful. You're going to be happy about any situation. So that means your expectation about things is probably not too high. It might be high and it might be low. That part doesn't matter. What matters is, is that your gratitude level or your appreciation is higher. So when I was years ago and of course, five ish years ago, I started turning this around. I was the father and sometimes it makes me cry to think about this, but I was that dad who had my kids and they always wanted to show me stuff. They were like, dad, look at this. Look what I built. Look what I made. Look what I drew. Look what I can do with my marbles. And I'll be honest, like my expectation was probably too high because they were really young. They were really, really, really young back then. And I was like, okay, you put a piece of wood on and the marble just rolls off and you think that's cool. That's not that cool. And I didn't say it to their face. I wasn't saying that, but I'm thinking like, okay, wow, good job. And here I am being like, man, I just wish I could work more. If I just didn't have my kids and I could really make a lot of money and it's just too bad this. And I was the pessimist. I was the person who had higher expectations. I wanted to be a multimultimillionaire and I didn't have a high enough gratitude. I thought my kids were holding me back. And what ended up happening is I got fat. I got lazy. I got overweight. I got angry. I yelled at the kids. Our relationship got weak because I had low gratitude. Then I turned around and I started practicing gratitude in the morning. So I would end in it and in night and anytime I was stressed. So there was three times that I had to practice gratitude before I got a bad out, before I got out of bed, when I got in bed, before I went to sleep. And a lot of people do this with prayer. Now I don't pray, but I try to express gratitude. I try to have a relationship with God or the universe or nature or many gods or who knows, but I try to spend that time to be grateful. And so in five years ago, as I record this, I came to a day that somebody said, you need to start practicing gratitude. And I did. And my relationship got better and everything else got better. My health got better. I started making more money, et cetera. The points that we're trying to make is I need you to also turn your expectation into appreciation, because when you do that, you're going to have a better chance of actually being happy. And if you're happy, what's going to happen? Your health will be better. Your relationships will be better. Your business will be better and your podcast will be better. So this doesn't only apply to your podcast. This doesn't only apply to yourself. This applies to all of the family that you're around, all of the relationships that you have, business relationships, loving relationships, romantic relationships, family relationships. It's going to increase that because you express some gratitude. Now, I'm not saying that you're going to turn into this optimist that's always being like, oh, everything's great all the time. I'm not saying you have to be like unreal about it. I'm just saying that when you look at the bright side, when you count your blessings, when you see where some people are, maybe you have to think about a different country, maybe you have to think about human trafficking. Who knows what you have to think about? You have a shit ton of things that you should be very, very grateful for. And when you bring your gratitude level above your expectation level, everything else will fall into line. Looking forward to seeing you on the next episode. Don't go anywhere. I'll see you there. Oh, hey, because three of my clients came to me recently looking to find a way to have their podcast make the money instead of cost them money, we put together a resource for some of our clients. And I want to give it to you as well. It's something that did actually seem to help because one of them is now making twenty six hundred a month. Another one forty five hundred a month. And the third is making between five thousand and ten thousand each month. And so it's been a resource that's been incredibly valuable to them. It's our sponsor sheet template. It's a template of a sponsor sheet and it gives you something that you can hand to potential sponsors and hopefully also be making twenty six hundred forty five hundred or between five and ten K regularly each month with your podcast. So this has been a contributing factor to helping all three of those clients turn their podcast into an additional income stream for them. And the way that you can find it is just going to our website, growyourshow .com, but put in forward slash templates, growshow .com forward slash templates, and then you can actually download that template and others that could be valuable to your podcasting experience. I'll see you on the next episode.

A highlight from GENC : Innovation at the Core of Marketing with Alyson Griffin, Head of Marketing at State Farm
"Gen C is the generation of the new Internet. In Gen C, the C stands for crypto, but it also stands for creators, the connected consumer and collectibles, both digital and physical with on -chain provenance. It stands for culture and characters, the ones we play in games and the companion ones that AI is building alongside us. It stands for community and digital citizenship and the new set of transparent and trustless tools being built to govern them. These are the people who were raised on a different philosophy on how they look at money, how they look at identity, how they look at privacy and how they look at the hybrid, digital and physical spaces being built all around us. And finally, how they reimagine their relationships with the communities and companies they interact with. We focus on how brands large and small are building for these audiences. Welcome to Gen C. Avery, I have to play you the new intro that I just made for Gen C. So here it goes. Edge of my seat. All right. So you might've noticed that was me not speaking English, but I am going to Portugal next week. So that was me speaking Portuguese. And how did I do that? Well, both you and I have been experimenting with, Hey, Jen's video translation software that utilizes AI to speak in multiple languages. You added an amazing piece that you put up on LinkedIn the other day. If you speaking Hindi, I don't know if you actually speak Hindi or not. Very limited. Very limited. But I just want to throw this stat out before I want to get your thoughts, which our is old friend, Mr. Beast, 50 % of the people who watch his videos don't speak English. And so what he does is hire voice actors all over the world to be the Mr. Beast in their local areas, because he knows that for him to go as global and get as many views as he needs, he has to be in language. And so what do you think about, Hey, Jen, and some of these new tools that are coming that will allow for video translation that is not only only, audio but as you and I have both been playing with, it also literally changes your mouth movements to be speaking the language that you've selected. Sam, thank you for turning me on to Hey, Jen. My first thought was that I was going to use it to connect my grandparents along because we do have a language barrier. And while I was sad to see that Telugu was not a supported language, I was like, it's okay. I'll do it in Hindi. And I sent it and they actually thought it was real because, you know, not everybody is familiar with powers of AI, especially with this sort of intonation, which is amazing. And then I started playing around with it a little bit more. And I want to call out Hey, Jen, but also 11 Labs, which is the voice translation that is powering all of this. Hey, Jen is sort of bringing that video, but 11 Labs does the audio. And we've been working on a couple of little things with 11 Labs in different capacities. I'm really impressed with what they're building. And it's critical because only 14 % of the world speaks English, yet 59 % of the world's digital content is in English. So if you're a person who doesn't speak English, much less, God forbid, is not literate, then you can't access the amazing, wonderful world of the internet that we all know today. It's a massive thing. I think it's early days. And of course, everybody rightfully so has questions on where is this data going? Who owns it? Who's storing it? Hey, Jen is an LA based company. And 11 Labs has raised from a number of investors, including Andre Sinso. We've done some diligence on them, but I think it's early days. But this technology is insanely powerful for brands, but in the immediate term for content creators. If I was a content creator, I would be using this immediately for my target languages, because it'll expand your reach so much, enable you to connect. And by the way, it's not going to be long before that's happening on demand. In real time, I mean. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I did the same thing you did. I recorded a video that I translated into French and I sent it to my friend in Paris. And I said, I've been working on my accent. What do you think? And he gets back to me and goes, oh, like, you're really nailing the language, you're really nailing the accent. Like, you've come a long way. I don't speak French. Because the intonation is like you, right? Right, exactly. It's cloning your voice. It sounds like a white person speaking Hindi. Like, there's some things that are colloquialisms that a local person would never say, but it sounds like how you would speak Hindi if you were very good at it. Yes. I will also say what was fascinating to me was Angelique Vendette, who I also sent the video to, responded and say, okay, here's the problem. It's speaking French Canadian. It's not speaking Paris French. And then I had other friends who because I had put it up on Instagram and for the one in Spanish, I had tagged Mexico and I said, can't wait to get back to CDMX. And someone tagged me and said, no, this is speaking European Spanish. This is not speaking Latin American Spanish. So I do think there is like a lot of nuance that still needs to get worked out in it. But just the fact that I could record a 48 second video that people in Paris and people in Mexico didn't recognize that it was AI at first. I thought it was fascinating. I think you hit it exactly, which is, oh, yeah, if I was a content creator, if I was a brand marketer and I was doing shorts, I think this is a perfect way just to get more reach for your content at a 30 to 90 second level, which should be labeled as AI also. Agreed. Definitely. Cross -country transparency, 100 percent. Yeah, we'll talk about that in a second. But I do think that anyone who hasn't played with the page and video translator or there, you can now do it just by uploading a photo and snippets of your voice powered by 11, as you mentioned. So you can actually create yourself saying anything without even having to record a video at this point. You could all do it by text. So it's pretty fascinating. I'm very excited for where this stuff is going, because this is the kind of use case that I think you and I look at this and we're like, this has a very tactical, tangible opportunity. And I think the stat that you just mentioned, only 14 percent speak English, but 60 percent of the content is in English is such a big business opportunity when you really think about that. So, so relevant. Let's pivot from there to a very related topic, which is I don't know if you saw this week, but TikTok has started using AI labeling and Reddit and Reddit. Right. Exactly. For TikTok, anytime you use one of the filters that utilizes AI, now it's going to be labeled as AI. They also are doing auto detection for people who are utilizing AI software and they want anyone who is utilizing AI for their content to have a label on it. I think this is a step in the right direction. I would love all news content also to be labeled like this, because there's a lot of stuff out there. I read an obituary that was driven by AI about a basketball player who had passed away and it said the basketball player is unliving. So that was the way that AI described him being dead, was that he was unliving. And so clearly there's a lot of stuff that needs to get worked out. But from a brand perspective, from a creator perspective, I think that the idea that we should know when things are being modified feels like the right thing. But do you think that affects the creator economy in any way? I think it's similar to how we do hashtag ad, like trust or transparency is key. We just need to be transparent about using these things. I've thought that for quite a while as it relates to Instagram and TikTok filtering because people get unrealistic like body images. I mean, yes, some of this happens in like magazines and photo shoots and all of that stuff it has for a long time. But I'm all about trust or transparency and the digital ecosystem. Agreed. And I also think there's a healthy respect for knowing when someone might be utilizing a tool. It's a productivity tool. It doesn't mean it has to be less entertaining. It doesn't mean it has to be less interesting. I think our enterprise brands, though, we're still at a place where like we can't just use 11 labs like at scale right now. It's not ready yet. It's like a proof of concept. This is how it could be going. And back to what we've talked about before, it's building the muscle for when this really hits scale, we're going to be ready. Correct. And in terms of just going back to Mr. Beast, who has these 13 actors that play him around the world, he said, our team is very actively looking because it's not cheap to do that. And he said, our team is very actively looking. He thought from his perspective and when their research that it's going to be still a couple of years before we actually see it being good enough where he's comfortable. What he said, which was interesting, is they've done some AB testing where they use the voice actor and then they'll use a cloning. And he said every time he does a cloning, people are calling out that something sounds wrong and it distracts them from the content in the video, which I think for someone like him is just really important to make sure it's landing. Totally, totally agree with that. Yeah. All right. Final story before we get to an amazing guest is Crossmint and MasterCard are going deeper together. So Crossmint powered this artist portal that MasterCard released a couple of months ago. It actually brought one hundred thousand people into blockchain. It was primarily based on music and that was also powered by Crossmint. And it seems that Crossmint and MasterCard are getting in bed together even more with an eye toward small business, which I thought was kind of interesting. Just the idea of easy ways when you think of utilizing your MasterCard to pay for something and then thinking about a reward system that can be on chain, that feels like it makes a lot of sense, right? I hit my 10th time at the coffee shop. I get a little NFT that says I'm a 10 timer and maybe that gets me a free coffee later. But this feels like a very natural, easy way for blockchain and brands to get together. And I want to know if you have any thoughts about that. Yeah, well, I love Rodry and the team and of course, Raja and his amazing team at MasterCard and everything that they've done in this space. So recently connected with Raja and he was like, I'm still very bullish on Web3. And one, I love him for saying that because there's so many mixed reactions right now. And it's amazing to hear leaders who continue to invest, continue to launch programs like their startup accelerator and continue to support these sort of Web3 native businesses, massive bands of what Crossmint is doing. And I think that a partnership between a payment processor and a minting tool makes a lot of sense because you're likely going to be paying maybe not thousands of dollars, but a couple bucks for some of these things. And having that super integrated is a great fit. And shout out to MasterCard for continuing to innovate in this space. I see them. I see Visa. I see the banks really continuing to lean in and identify these enterprise use cases that can make their customers both B2C and also B2B customers lives a little bit easier. Well, we have asked Raja to be on the podcast 27 times, so we're going to continue to ask until he shows up. So, Raja, if you're listening, we're coming for you. Avery, after the break, we are going to come back with Allison Griffin from State Farm, a big brain marketing thinker, so excited to hear her perspectives on marketing, on the metaverse, on Web3, on innovation in general, because she's such a great thinker on that.

A highlight from THE HASH: Headlines | Top Stories of the Week 08-21-23
"You're listening to The Hash Headlines on the Coindesk Podcast Network. Get caught up on this week's top stories from the hash crew. And just a reminder, Coindesk is a news source and does not provide investment advice. Monday's top story. This is the most exciting story because we're currently in a crypto bear market. Crypto is going to zero. Same with Bitcoin. That's not financial advice. That's a joke for the trolls. But when I first saw this come out, I thought it was fiend tech. And I'm starting to kind of get that vibe on crypto Twitter from some folks because a lot of people are talking about privacy. We'll get into that. So friend tech becomes massive ether money machine as NBA players FaZe Clan join in. And then friend tech also gains 100 ,000 users in days, even in depths of a bear market. So if you guys don't know, friend tech is a social tokenization protocol. It's built on base, which is Coinbase's open source blockchain. There's no token affiliated with that. So if you see another base coin floating around, it's not affiliated with base or Coinbase. So please be careful. Do your due diligence. And it's from invite only. So if you don't have a friend code, you can't join. So it's kind of like high school. If you weren't cool enough to get invited to a party and you showed up, sometimes they would beat you up. I don't know if that happened to you guys, but basically it tokenizes Twitter slash X accounts because we rebranded to X and everything is on chain. Everything is on chain and it made more revenue than Bitcoin, Tron and Uniswap in the past 24 hours, which makes sense because again, this is a bear market and everybody's broke. But anyways, I haven't tested it out. One of the things I did do is I went to the official Twitter page because that's always where you should start. If you can verify that's the real account. Okay. I clicked on the link and it wanted me to download the mobile app. I don't like to do crypto related things on my daily cell phone. I like to use a burner. So that kind of protrude me a little bit. I wasn't really like, eh, because I feel like it's a lot easier to get hacked and whatnot. So who wants to take this? I got you. Okay, let's go. I downloaded it and I was with you, Wendy. I actually don't like using my phone for crypto things. This one was a little different because you couldn't use on your desktop. And so you had to use on your phone, but then there wasn't like really an app for it. You had to go to like Safari or Chrome on your iPhone or on your Android, then download it, then add it to your home screen. And so you're basically going through like Safari or whatnot. So a little odd there. The thing that's interesting to me about this is basically like sort of like a light polling sample and how many people are still paying attention to crypto, who like willing to download stuff, like around with things. It seems that there's about a hundred thousand unique users right now of friend tech. And that means that there's probably a hundred thousand people who are interested and willing to play around with this. Maybe there's like a little higher end of people like yourself who quite haven't downloaded yet, but I'm sure will the next few weeks if it continues to grow at the same pace. Now that if is big, right? Because we've seen a lot of these projects take off for a few weeks and then die down and we forget about them forever. That's what happened with so many of these different social ideas. The thing now we're kind of hitting though is that peak interest with NBA players jumping into it. Some e -sports guys jumping into it. Their interest of course is probably just be in the next thing. This is an interesting project, trades digital shares of each other. There's an invite code aspect to it. So I think that's what we're getting some interest right now. I'm waiting for like a few bigger names to jump in and then we'll see if there's some staying power with friend tech. Yeah. But the thing, I know Jen, you had your hand up, but I have to comment really quick. Two things. First and foremost, generally we see crypto Twitter absolutely clown when the celebrities come in and they say that that's the top. So it's going to be interesting to see the type of feedback there. Also too, we like to look at on chain data and look at how many different wallets have been created for different types of protocols, et cetera. And with wallets, anybody could create a wall. I can, I have like a hundred different metamask wallets to manage. Yes, I know I'm insane, but we can also maybe apply that there is maybe only a hundred thousand people left that are daily active users of crypto instead of using on chain data. Just a thought. I may be stupid for saying that, but Jen. Yeah. You know, well, you said that we've seen these like crypto applications come up with a bunch of users, hundreds of thousands, and then we never hear about them again. We've seen the same with social platforms, right? Threads came out, so many people rushed to sign up and then no one really stuck around. No one really used it. And we've asked so many times on the show before, like what does the future of social media look like and what is Web3's part in building the future of social media? And I think that this is quite interesting, whether it sticks around or not, it kind of leverages that idea that like people want to be in these intimate circles where they feel like they have community, where they feel like they're in groups and they have access to influencers and celebrities, even if they don't actually. And I think we've seen this kind of play out in like Facebook groups is super popular for Facebook. You know, when Taylor Swift had those like listening parties, I believe in her homes where fans were invited to come out and like hang out with her and be in these intimate circles. I think that's like the really interesting part here. And it doesn't use an NFT or like all of this other complicated language and you're able to kind of leverage the audience you already have on Twitter and go to this familiar social place. So I think the concept is quite interesting, whether it sticks around. That is TBD. Zach? Wasn't this the one that like everyone got excited about because there was the prospect of some future airdrop? Is that the one? Are we talking about the same one? There was like, okay, cool. So I guess that's my question. Why do we think people are doing this? Do we think they're doing this because it's a cool thing? Or do we think they're just out there digital prospecting, putting a stake in the ground should the land eventually, right? Yeah. I didn't actually know about the airdrop and I think it is that now that I know. No, I think it's a little bit above. Like there is an airdrop feature and it's like one of the widgets on the main tabs is the airdrop feature, but it's unclear what that airdrop means as of now, because they haven't done one yet. You get like some sort of loyalty points. The more you trade people's shares, the more you use application. But I think that's also like a big draw. In fact, like I can be in a group chat with people. I can be in a group chat with Kobe. I can be in a group chat with whoever it's like to talk to town on Twitter on this application if I buy their shares. I think that's what's drawing people in. I think the airdrop will, especially if there is like some monetary value at the beginning of it. But right now I think there's a little bit of two things going on here. Wendy's cynical about this, though. So is this the is this like the Only Fans for boys? Yeah, possibly.

A highlight from THE HASH: Friend.tech Becomes Massive Ether Money Machine; Mark Cuban Slams OpenSeas NFT Royalty Policy Change
"This is the hash podcast. Stay informed with the latest on Bitcoin, ETH, the metaverse, web3 and more. All on the hash for your ears. You're listening to the Coindesk podcast network.

This is the most exciting story because we're currently in a crypto bear market. Crypto is going to zero. Same with Bitcoin. That's not financial advice. That's a joke for the trolls.

And I think it is that now that I know. No, I think it's a little bit of both. Like there is an airdrop feature. And it's like one of the widgets on the main tabs is an airdrop feature.

I think the airdrop will, especially if there is like some monetary value at the beginning of it. But right now, I think there's a little bit of two things going on here. Wendy is cynical about this, though. So is this like the OnlyFans for boys? Yeah, possibly. It sounds like it. I mean, because regular OnlyFans is for boys also and girls. I think, you know, we should discriminate all over everyone. You know what? Crypto Twitter seems to just slam women that have OnlyFans, though, so I'm just trying to be relatable here. Okay. One plus one equals seven sometimes. It's true. What's good to talk about Vitalik? Vitalik has moved some Ethereum, about a $1 million worth of Ethereum to Coinbase. What does this mean? Well, might indicate that he's willing to sell a little bit. He moved about 600 ETH to Coinbase over the weekend. Vitalik's public addresses for his Ethereum holdings are out there. Most people know where they are, visible on most Ether scans or like blockchain explorers out there. And for good reason, right? He's probably the most central figurehead in all of crypto because he's the frontman or the image of the Ethereum ecosystem, which is the largest smart contract ecosystem and the second largest coin by market cap behind Bitcoin. So when people see Vitalik or anyone else moving money with that big of a name out there, they start paying attention. Of course, we don't know if he sold this Ethereum, and we also don't know the reasons behind it. Maybe he just wanted to get some more cushion for his USD bank account. Who knows? Zach, I'll throw this one up to you. I don't look at this story and be like, oh, this is like a big ominous, bad dark cloud story. I just think our boy is, you know, he's traveling all around the world. He needs some money. Hey, man, I'm with you. I think big picture, like this is the funny thing about crypto, right? You get to watch this stuff happen. You just get to see it. You're like, oh, we know that this is a wallet associated with Vitalik. And you know, he's chose to keep that in the public domain, essentially. And now we can sort of see the flows of money across the world into these exchange addresses, right? So it is just kind of a funny feature of crypto. It never gets dull to me that we can have these conversations based on on -chain activity and on -chain activity alone. We don't know his intent. We don't know why. We don't know what's happening. We just know that we can watch this thing move from point A to point B and deduce maybe that there's something animating that, right? And I think that's a really funny feature of crypto that we can talk about these things without any other knowledge, aside from the fact that we just know one wallet interacted with another. And therefore, we know this one happens to be Vitalik and we can speculate on whatever the million dollars is going to be for if it's for, you know, I don't know, getting more travel luggage so he can go to different places around the world or not. But yeah, I don't know. There's not much to say here. I don't know if this is going to like change people's price like projections for Ethereum, right? Or if it, I don't think this indicates that like Vitalik is any less bullish on his creation. But it is just kind of a funny thing, least blotter section of like the theory of daily news that you can read with your morning coffee. Really quick before I hand it over to Wendy. The funny part about this is the Ethereum Foundation, which of course is a steward of a lot that happens to Ethereum, does sell the top almost every single cycle. They have like successfully sold the top on ETH. And they put that money back into treasury to support grants for Ethereum ecosystem. So it ends up, I think, being a net positive. But a lot of people look at when the Ethereum Foundation sells and then sort of make a note about that. And this one, people obviously not at the top for down about, you know, 50 plus percent from the top in 2021, 2022. But people might be looking at this and be like, oh, maybe we're looking at like another lower point in the future if Vitalik is selling. Wendy? It's literally $1 million. It's really not a lot of money, especially when you're looking at crypto whale wallets. Like there's so many people that are moving around a lot more capital that are loaning it out, doing things. I also want to reference a story from Coindesk back in May 17th of 2021, Vitalik burns $6 billion in SHIB token says he doesn't want the power. So Vitalik has kind of been infamous of doing different things with his funds and wallets that have been tracked. So I don't think it's necessarily a big deal that he moved $1 million of ETH worth to Coinbase. I think if it was going to be a very, very large amount, it probably would be done OTC. But maybe he just wanted, hey, maybe he wanted to bridge the funds over to Bait or to FriendTech. Who knows? Who knows? Wendy, this isn't the first time Vitalik has sold Ether. So I don't think this is going to like do anything to the markets, but I wanted to ask all of you a question based on what Zach said. What do we think if Vitalik does cash out $1 million here, what do we think he's going to buy? What luxury luggage does Vitalik buy? I love his luggage post. That's one of the better blogs out there is how Vitalik lives out of a 40 liter backpack. And here's how he does it. That one is a good piece of content. That's a lot of 40 liter backpacks if we're talking a million dollars. Yeah, I don't think it's that. Maybe he's hungry. Maybe he's hungry. A lot of backpacks. He got to buy snacks.

"Have to admit that a hundred thousand people a dying year is not okay we need to be open to new solutions or else we're just not going to get out of this and ashan singh joins us now to talk more about it ashen is it being put in drugs like you mentioned heroin fentanyl cocaine is this being added to it and it is again an animal tranquilizer right yes it's an animal tranquilizer and i think that's a big part of the confusion here is that we've been caught flat -footed as far as figuring out how to deal with this tranquilizer because a lot of veterinarians the around country actually do use this in practical terms when it comes added to the supply yeah it's being added at the street level started in opioids fentanyl heroin etc now and we're seeing it sort of transition to the supplies of stimulants uh methamphetamine cocaine you visited the kensington section of philadelphia and that is a notorious you know a couple block area there describe what it was like it was a shock it's a real eye -opener to the opioid crisis and the humanitarian crisis that it kind of causes that exists within this country it's like almost the this area that's been cordoned off by law enforcement where people are allowed to openly use but at the same time they're not given the resources they need to use safely and responsibly and it's allowed something like zalazine to run amok when people are addicted to this what are they like zombies zombies it really it's a it's the addiction is similar to a fentanyl or a heroin addiction only exacerbated and I think the the bigger thing is you're seeing people that aren't just addicted to opioids now they're addicted to the zalazine that that comes in the opioid so you whether or not they want the and honestly pretty much everyone you talk to they do not want zalazine in their supply but it's been in the supply for so long that they end up they wind up with these addictions and get these instances really gnarly of necrosis where they get these open wounds on arms their limbs calves and it is I think when talking about the opioid crisis it's the most visual thing I've seen to be able to illustrate just how bad whatever this additive is is doing to the supply and that makes it more difficult for these people to get treatment because a lot of the treatment centers will say we can't treat you with those open because wounds you're addicted to this but you have open wounds as well we just are not equipped for that exactly they're not equipped for it a lot of what these street teams that you're seeing they figured out how to treat these things on the fly on their own people are going through an overdose they won't respond to naloxone or Narcan in sort of the traditional way that are expected to so you'll see street teams actually carrying around things like oxygen tanks which are not advised by the federal government by the health administrations this is just something that they figured out as to how triage this kind of on the streets because it honestly feels like no one is helping at the end you talked to a drug tester who said we have to be open to new solutions or we're not going to get out of this what are some of those new solutions one of the new solutions that you really hear people advocating for especially the people who are working on the streets on the ground helping these communities kind of try to survive is safe supply so the idea of safe supply is that there sort of sort of either locally sort of mandated or federally mandated a supply of drugs that we we know what it's cut with basically and so the people who are using are able to administer their own drug use in a way is that safe and is and will at the very least mitigate things like the necrosis that xylosine brings and basically the idea is that people will know what they're into putting their body which is not the case right now well listen ashan saying this is a great reporting and a really good piece and important to thank you thank you so much coming up it's one thing when your own credit

There is a valid critique of people who take this and don't get vaccinated but i would just focus on the not getting vaccinated part of that like forget about this yes the people who are running out to livestock shops and taking the horse version of this. That's tough like that's bad. We said it's like it's tough to steph to keep a straight face when you hear but that is their problem. That is not like you'd need to ask yourself wire upset about that. Are you really worried about that. Person's how do you know that person going at horse place. You know. I was reading about this. Las vegas feed shop. That actually is requiring people to show a picture of their horse but like really. If you're getting worked up over that you need to ask yourself. Are you worried about that person's health or you just looking to have fun. And i'm seeing people like and this is a very common thing among people we really like including some guests to this podcast. Who only talk about this. As a or st warmer and that to me is not honest because that doesn't get at the vast majority of people taking us which be honest. The problem is when we talk about this instead of just talking about the need for people to get the vaccine. It's not because we're having fun. It's because we're feeling superior and that's the problem that is that's where we heard credibility and making the argument. Well there are other issues here that are percolating throughout society. one. I'm the i hear everywhere. I see it on my instagram. I see it on my facebook. Actually hear it in real life. Is this idea that people who are vaccinated are getting coded at the same rate as everybody else. L. teams most successful wide receivers tweets this on a daily basis. And i just wanna go through the data here in this surgical so The case rate for full fully vaccinated people at sixty six her one hundred thousand people case rate for unvaccinated people's two hundred forty three hundred thousand people. So that's four times. Plus amount of people getting cova were unvaccinated and people were vaccinated or fourteen not four but fourteen times less likely to be hospitalized way less likely to die and there was a study published in lancet which is one of the most respected medical journals in the world. That just came out a couple of days ago. I think it was september. First that said that not only is there. A decreased risk of infection and severe symptoms if you get vaccinated but there is a forty nine percent lower risk of what they call long cove. Which is the months or longer version of kobe. Where you get brain fog. Her taste of smell hair loss numbness for many months. I know some people who've gotten covert at the beginning of covert and you're still experiencing symptoms so basically across the board getting vaccinated is an unambiguous. The now to me is like when somebody says this to you. People with you know people still get cova when the vaccinated. It's like well. Yes you can still get in a car accident if you are completely sober and have your seatbelt on but the result is way different. And it's far less likely to happen so maybe just drive sober and wear your seatbelt amen. To that we haven't done this in a while. L. let's do a little quarantine slash..

"I have a friend. Who would he was exposed to it when he was exposed to cove it. He started taking a risk for mason. He didn't get cove he he's not sure whether it was. He was vaccinated by the way but he was concerned because of the delta area what. Why aren't we allowing people to put their trust in medicines that some doctors the work researches outstanding and used great pool of people. You know here's the thing about the vaccine. What are the skepticism of the vaccine. Is that it trotted out too fast. I've explained this before but just bear with me here. Let me explain this to get to make a larger point. What are the reasons to take so long to get a vaccine to market is because you really need to try it out about one hundred thousand people and you don't have a lot of people set up you have ten twenty thousand people sign up to be testers. It takes five to ten years to get to one hundred thousand people with the kobe vaccines. We had more than one hundred thousand people sign up out of the gate. So you typically when you give someone vaccine researchers follow that person for three months the reason is because historically all of the bad side effects you could get from a vaccine are pronounced within three months. This is why we don't worry about the long term side effects of this vaccine and contrary to claims you read on the internet that we actually have been using marnie vaccines for some time in various different ways in very much. The vaccine works the same way. You get the you can see the outcomes good or bad within several months with the covert vaccine instead of having to wait five to ten years to get a hundred thousand people we we had a hundred thousand people signing up for each one of them. We test them all like five hundred thousand people out of the gate within six months. That's how we were able to get it so quickly into the field. We didn't have to wait that long. To get these statistical simply to prove efficacy.

ISIS-K Claims Responsibility for the Deadly Kabul Attack
"Was the deadliest day for american troops in afghanistan in a decade two explosions ripped through the crowds outside the kaaba airport. And it happened just hours after the warning. We told you about yesterday when the us and other governments warn people to leave that area because of terror threats ultimately thirteen american service members were killed and eighteen. Were hurt on top of that. The blast killed at least sixty afghans and heard at least one hundred and forty of them. The explosions happened outside the gate. Where huge crowds of people are screened for bombs and weapons before moving forward to get on an evacuation flight. The isis terror group claimed responsibility for these attacks. The taliban who recently took control of afghanistan were not thought to be involved they condemn the attack in fact the taliban and isis are considered rivals not allies and right now at least experts say. Isis is the bigger threat to america's efforts to evacuate people from the country. Top military officials say they worry about more attacks still flights taking off from the kabul airport just with more security. The us has evacuated about one hundred thousand people so far and has promised to keep flying. Americans in american allies out. Buff ghanistan up until august. Thirty first tens of thousands of afghans who qualify for special immigration. Visas are still waiting to be evacuated as well as hundreds of american citizens.

"Doesn't that not matter as far as if somebody doesn't want to take it. I know you're you're pro. Non mandate but Interestingly enough as well the The white house. As far as i know the white house pfizer and madonna don't have vaccine mandates so it's interesting to note several of those policies that come out of washington or they come out of these Big pharma industries. They seem to be a little hypocritical when yeah. So let's deal with the medicines because we've got to deal with two bifurcated issue. One is medicines to treat conditions another is vaccines The fda i mean look at the light is great example. The little mind was a drug to deal with Pregnancy and morning sickness and It was approved and then he'd be recalled because of calls serious birth defects and turns out the company. If i remember right Covered some of that up in the research is there a number of other medicines in some in recent years. One for muscular dystrophy. The fda walked back The fda though has never walked back vaccine a vaccine is different from a pill And it goes through a different process that with vaccinations for example side effect. Show up within two to three months. This is something i think. A lot of people don't understand because in fact the trump administration officials now including the former surgeon general say they should never have talked about how they rushed the vaccine. because that's a misconception. A vaccine to be approved requires a pool of one hundred thousand testers. You need one hundred thousand testers. They'd be black white hispanic asian male female pregnant not pregnant. And you gotta you gotta spend time well to get a vaccine approved with one hundred thousand people. It takes five or six years because typically you're only dealing with ten to twenty thousand people a year who are willing to be a tester for a vaccine and so it takes five to six years to get a hundred thousand people in the pool of testers so that you can research it and see what the what the side effects are and they monitor the people for six months to see if there are side effects because the way vaccines work again you'll see the side effects within six months now. Those people can report later. If they have side effects they think are related to the drug with the feiger in the modern and the johnson and johnson. They had hundreds of thousands of volunteers immediately. It didn't take them five years to get to the pool of one hundred thousand. They were able to do it in six months. That's why again a vaccine is different from made chemical that you continuously put in your body and build up over time That the chemical itself flows through your body vaccine causes your body to generate antibodies. Now are there people who have had had affects yes. Are there people who had allergic reactions. Yes that happens with every vaccine as well The issue is the amount so you can't look at the pill issue while the fda side and compared to the vaccine issue because their chemical different compounds doing two different things and the vaccine process is a completely separate segregated process for which we've had hundreds of thousands of people now test and millions of taken. Jake tapper reporting right now from cnn and a briefing congressional staff. The state department said forty one hundred american citizens are still actively seeking to get out of afghanistan.

How the Post Office Grew America
"Story starts with the crown post post office of the british crown. The thirteen colonies were quite isolated and independent of each other. Few people had relatives or friends at the other colonies thus neither male nor good roads connecting them were important. Thirteen drivers freedom in how this letter was too many places to send it now. It's a different story in the beginning. The only real mail that was sent or received was to the uk but without a post office sending things and receiving them was problematic. The first colony to request to remedy for this problem was massachusetts bay on november fifth. Sixteen thirty nine. The general court of that colony directed that richard fairbanks has tavern would be where letters were delivered and picked up giving richard one cent for each letter. Managed in the new netherland. Coney the dutch west indies company. Who ran the colony made a similar determination. They constructed a box at the port for letters to be picked up and mailed but there was no general consensus or common interest among the colonies to take it any further and the only times. The problem came to a head as when the colonies faced a common emmy but had no roads or male to aid in their communication. It wasn't until the reign of william the third new england in sixteen ninety that any sort of postal system was established williams. Third had assessed. His call is which had now grown to two hundred thousand people and decided he wanted to have postal communication between massachusetts pennsylvania and new york. He had some roads built but didn't send money to do much more than that. But in seventeen fifty three all would change. Benjamin franklin became the postmaster for the crown post and philadelphia.
