A highlight from OpenSea Lays Off 50% Of Its Staff
"Welcome to your Ethereum news roundup, here's your latest for Friday November 3rd, 2023. Opensea lays off 50 % of its staff, Lens Protocol v2 goes live, Def Connect issues a second travel update, and the Dankoon upgrade is now slated for 2024. All this and more starts right now. Opensea, the largest NFT marketplace by total volume, announced significant staff layoffs, cutting its workforce by roughly 50 % according to Decrypt. The downsizing was publicized by Opensea CEO Devin Finzer through a series of tweets introducing Opensea 2 .0. An updated version of the marketplace focused on performance and end -user engagement. Finzer attributed the downsizing to the strategic decision to focus on Opensea 2 .0 with a smaller team structure rather than the current market conditions. The exact number of employees that were let go was not disclosed. The move comes amid a decrease in Opensea's market share. Lens Protocol v2, an upgrade that introduces open actions, composability, and security improvements is now live on Polygon mainnet. Open actions allow developers to integrate external smart contracts directly into Lens publications. Lens Protocol v2 also supports the ERC -6551 standard, allowing content to be owned by a profile NFT. The update also changes follows to be profile -based, allowing follow NFTs to be attached to a profile NFT. An improved profile manager allows users to hold their profile NFT in a hardware wallet and delegate social actions to other wallets. Most Lens ecosystem dapps, including Orb, Favor, and Tape, have migrated to Lens v2. DevConnect, an Ethereum -centric conference scheduled for November 13th through the 19th in Istanbul, released a second advisory for those planning to attend. The update follows an alert from last week, which the Israeli government advised for its citizens to exit Turkey. DevConnect features a series of events across various venues, with the Istanbul Congress Center serving as the central hub. ENS Friends Day and DeFi Day have been canceled, while Arbitrum Day has transitioned to a virtual format. Several in -person events will proceed as planned, including censorship WTF, the ETH Global Hackathon, ETH economics, EVM Day, Fed Day, Viper Day, on -chain summer, and layer 2 days. Attendees can stay up to date via DevConnect's Telegram and Twitter channels. Lastly, the Ethereum -Dankoon upgrade, initially anticipated to launch this year, is now slated to go live on mainnet in Q1 of 2024, provided that the testnet phases do not encounter significant setbacks. The extended timeline is a result of further testing to validate changes introduced with the upgrade. Core developers are planning for at least one more DevNet before commencing the upgrade on the Gourley, Hulski, and Sepolia testnets, followed by the rollout on mainnet. In other news, WalletConnect resumes services in Russia, Beacon Chain releases an updated version of its mobile app, and Beefy integrates the XERC20 token standard.

A highlight from Frame L2 On Arbitrum Nitro Stack
"Welcome to your Ethereum news roundup, here's your latest for Monday October 23rd, 2023. Frame unveils plans to deploy as a layer 2 on the Arbitrum Nitro stack, Blockade emerges from stealth, Hard Hat introduces Hard Hat ignition, and Dev Connect issues a travel advisory. All this and more starts right now. Frame unveiled plans to deploy its NFT -focused chain as a rollup on the Arbitrum Nitro stack. Frame will feature support for Arbitrum Stylus, allowing developers to build apps using WASM -compatible languages. It will also integrate Bounded Liquidity Delay, or BOLD, an Arbitrum dispute protocol that enables permissionless, fraud -proof validation. Frame also committed a portion of its sequencer fees to the Arbitrum DAO. Frame caters to NFT creators and collectors and incorporates features like royalties and NFT delegation at the protocol level. Users on the Frame rollup will benefit from low network fees, high throughput, and a sequencer -funded creator fund. Emerging from stealth, blockchain security firm Blockade announced a $33 million funding round from Variant, Sequoia, and Greylock among other backers. Blockade specializes in wallet monitoring tools, offering a system that scans and authenticates dapp transactions, shielding users from various scams, phishing sites, and malicious contracts. Blockade has already monitored 450 million transactions and safeguarded over a half billion dollars in user assets on platforms like Metamask, OpenSea, Rainbow, and Zorion. Blockade aims to use the fresh capital to expand its team, enhance product capabilities, and extend services to support more platforms in the Web3 ecosystem. Hard Hat introduced Hard Hat Ignition, an extension to its development environment that simplifies smart contract deployment. Hard Hat Ignition allows developers to define what they want to deploy and the operations they want to run while managing complexities and network errors. It removes the need for boilerplate code. It also supports recovery from interruptions, flexible execution strategies, and gas fee management. Hard Hat is a task manager for Ethereum smart contracts, making it easier for developers to test, write, and debug smart contracts written in EVM -compatible languages. A future release will include support for VM and Ether's v6. And lastly, DevConnect, an Ethereum -focused conference taking place in Istanbul from November 13th through the 19th, issued a travel advisory for attendees. The advisory notes that while there is no direct threat to the DevConnect event, Israel released a notice warning Israelis in the country to leave Turkey. DevConnect recommends that those in high -risk groups reconsider their travel plans. In other news, Coinbase Wallet supports gas -free USDC transfers on OP Mainnet, Base introduces builders grants, and PROSMA Finance increases its deposit caps.

A highlight from MONEY REIMAGINED: CBDCs Unleashed: Changing Finance for All!
"You're listening to Coindesk's Money Reimagined with Michael Casey and Sheila Warren. Hello and welcome to Money Reimagined. I'm Sheila Warren. A reminder, you can listen to us weekly on the Coindesk Podcast Network or wherever you get your podcasts. And we'd love to hear from you. Tell us what you think. You can email us at podcasts at coindesk .com with the subject line, Money Reimagined. I'm in Washington, DC this week at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's annual legislative conference, which is taking place at Walter Washington Convention Center. The theme is curing our democracy, protecting our freedoms, and I am extremely grateful to be invited to participate in this event. But our topic today is much broader than that. I'm joined by Carmel Cadet, who's the founder and CEO of Mtek, which is a New York -based fintech startup with the goal to rebuild central banking infrastructure for the Web3 era. Now, Carmel and I have had the opportunity to speak many times in the past, including when she was instrumental in developing the world's very first national digital currency, the Bahamian Sand Dollar, which many of you will be familiar with from discussions we've had on it on this show. That was her first big government project. But since then, she's signed on six other central banks in the Caribbean and Africa and has plans to onboard more to their platform and their regulatory sandbox design offerings. I'm really looking forward to Carmel joining me today to talk about the advances in central bank digital currencies and CBDCs, particularly how they're being used by diaspora populations and how we're thinking about this opportunity and this technology in spaces that don't necessarily get the attention of groups like the Bureau of International Sutterments, the BIS, or even, frankly, the U .S. government. So, Carmel, welcome. Let's start off by just a little bit by way of background. Tell us, this is an interesting thing, an unusual thing to have gotten so deeply engaged with. And what was the moment when you kind of realized, hey, digital currency is something really critical and important? Your background, of course, you grew up in Haiti. I'd love to hear a little bit about how all that came together to make you the ambassador for this technology opportunity that you are today. Yeah, I never thought I would actually play that role, but I'm happy to be here. So, as you mentioned, my name is Carmel Cadet. I'm the founder and CEO of EmTech. It started really with my story. I'm originally from Haiti, born and raised. And when I migrated to the U .S., I became fascinated by the concept of financial markets, the access to credit cards, the access to mortgage, and car loans, and student loans, and realized that how access to capital and access to money really impacts lives. So, when you think about helping people out of poverty, it's one thing to do aid, but it's another thing to really build a better infrastructure that are more long -term, better institutions, and better access to financial markets, more importantly. So, I was really curious about that, but I didn't know what to do about it at the time I was 17. So, my mom told me to go to school and get a job. In the meantime, as I figure it out, but sure enough, my background is in corporate finance. I ended up lending. But before that, one of my first job was as a teller at a credit union. This is one of those jobs you get to see how people experience money. Day -to -day, paycheck to paycheck, every Friday, every two Fridays, people have a different experience in how their lives are changed with the fact that they get paid, or sometimes when they lose their job as far as how that impacts their lives. Then I got into mortgage underwriting, got to see how the credit system works in the U .S. How do you provide credit? How do you buy houses? How do you get home equity lines of credit? And how do you build value and invest in other properties? I've seen so many different lives changed by financial services. Yet again, I did not know what to do about it, but I landed an internship at IBM. I spent 10 years at IBM. This is where I fell in love with technology. So marrying the two, fast forward to around 2017, IBM was launching the IBM blockchain division. For me, I heard about blockchain before I heard about Bitcoin, believe it or not. The ability to use a technology that really flattens out the intermediaries or the models that you get access to financial services is something that I really, really got excited about because a lot of the policies over the years have changed the makeup of the financial industry in a lot of emerging markets. If you think about Basel III, if you think about the de -risking of a lot of countries, I've seen the results of that, kind of how more and more people in emerging markets did not have access to banking services. And that impacted my family. That impacted how we sent money and how much it costs us to send money back home. And the idea of using technology, I got to see that from IBM. IBM builds just amazing, big technology that impacts the world, so much so that you don't even feel it. You don't even see IBM everywhere, but IBM runs just about everything that we run on and that we use. I fell in love with that concept and blockchain for me was the first technology that really made sense for me for how to do that. So the very simple concept that ignited my curiosity to go into this space is to say, you know, we've been waiting for the banks to bank the unbanked. This is something that different policies and different efforts have tried to drive. And even if you think about Senator Sherrod Brown's bill around fed dollar accounts, the idea of forcing the banks to provide a digital cash or a fed dollar account to unbanked users or low deposit holders, it was a debt on arrival type of proposal because commercial banks would never have the incentive to do something like this. And the fact that I worked at a retail bank and a commercial bank, I understood the business model very clearly. So what blockchain represented for me was really an idea. What if we take the most used asset that people use every day and trust every day, especially those in emerging markets, which is paper cash, what if we digitize it with blockchain? Could we provide financial inclusion by design and having people be part of a digital financial service infrastructure that could be built on and give them an access to a new world? And that's around the time where I got the opportunity. I saw the RFP from Central Bank of Bahamas. And of course, I'm from the Caribbean. I got super excited. I cannot tell you. I remember the first time meeting that RFP, when Central Bank of Bahamas said that they're looking for a blockchain solution to modernize their overall payment infrastructure to drive financial inclusion across 700 islands that make up the Bahamas. I don't think most people know that. It seems like one island is 700 islands. So that was a moment for me. And sure enough, with no architecture, with no reference at the time, me and my team at IBM got together, found partners to work with, and really pitch an idea that the Central Bank of Bahamas ended up really selecting and has now deployed. And I just came back from the CBDC conference in Istanbul, where they were presenting their efforts and their progress. And I think they're one of the shining stars. Yeah, well, I would agree in part because they were the first in part because to your point, it really was about inclusion by design, not just laying over, I use this example a lot, the way that roads were built in Boston and Cambridge is they just saw where the cows were walking and laid down concrete, basically, right, or whatever was used at the time paving. And I think the Central Bank of the Bahamas did not do that. Their goal was actually to create a system that was better in some ways, not just digitize the existing system. And I do think we've seen some other efforts at CBDCs really just digitizing existing systems, not interrogating those systems in the way that I think you and the bank did. But I've got a million directions we could go. But let's start with let's start with this. Because it would be interesting, actually, I could see how you'd be interested in something like a Bitcoin or something like that. Instead, the idea of paper cash was the most compelling thing. Can you just talk about how a how you see CBDC is playing out in the broader digital currency landscape? But also, why that? Like, why fiat, right? Like, why your approach focusing on that specific opportunity as opposed to the broader, let's say, you know, crypto opportunity, or even, I mean, as we were so ended up in the IBM Blockchain division, looked at blockchain in different use cases, so global trade, food provenance, and different application of technology. When it came to financial services, of course, Bitcoin was the first use case that really broad gained visibility and broad access and even fame, if you will, as a token, but in itself, what we continue to see is one, the learning curve on how to get into Bitcoin. I remember how proud I was when I was there. Oh, yeah.
Blue Collar Bitcoin Podcast
A highlight from BCB127_AMERICAN HODL: Wisdom For Surviving The Bear
"All of your well -laid plans are going to be put to rest by the Bitcoin market. You know, I was very confident we were going to over 100k, I think a lot of people were. Then we didn't. And then I was equally confident, I was like, well, if the top wasn't as high, then maybe the bottom won't be as low. And then I was like, probably 30k, the bottom would be like 30k. And then it was, it was faster to 16. And that really shook a lot of people out, man. I mean, it was brutal. I knew people personally who were getting faken. Most people were just totally inconsolable. They're addicted to their fear. Fear like gets real close to you and it talks in your ear and it convinces you that it's correct. You've got to just push past that and you just you can't give in to fear. This is the Blue Collar Bitcoin Podcast, a show where Average Joe firefighters explore the most important monetary technology of the 21st century. We talk Bitcoin, we talk finance and we talk shit. Ladies and gentlemen, this is it. This is what you have been patiently waiting for. The inevitable, our run in with the legendary American Hodl. We hate to tug him off so obviously, but he was built to hang out on our show. Hodl would be equally comfortable for an 8 a .m. coffee hour at the firehouse as he would be philosophizing with the likes of Breedlove. We hope we evoked both of those extremes. Hodl has been in this game for a long time. He is a proper Bitcoin OG. This gives him the rare perspective of having been in the midst of his third bear market. Even when you have three under your belt, they are not easy. We talk about everything from raising kids to overcoming your fear of being penniless and destitute because you put all your money in Bitcoin. Fear and greed run markets, and if you aren't careful, they can run your life. Understand your psychology. As Socrates said, to know thyself is the beginning of wisdom. We can't argue with Socrates, but we can say that the beginning of wisdom is getting your Bitcoin off of exchanges. The best way to make that happen is by grabbing yourself a cold card Mark 4 and punching your seed keys into a seed plate. We cannot impart how important this is. All of your research, all of your understanding, all of your effort to obtain Bitcoin means absolutely nothing if the exchange you left your Bitcoin on goes belly up and shits the bed. So get those coins off of exchanges and into the most reliable, most secure place possible, the cold card. And if you want to get frisky, check out the new Q1 and its expanded capabilities above and beyond the cold card Mark 4. Before we start, we have some coupon codes to share. If you would like to attend Bitcoin Amsterdam or Bitcoin 2024 in Nashville, get 10 % off tickets to either event with code BCB. Now, relax, enjoy this rip with American hodl. That's a stack of kids, my friend. Four in the litter. How are you holding up? This is only like a few weeks ago, right? It's it's good, man. I love having kids. Kids are the best. I I think parents like to complain about having kids, but like I do with the you know, it's like there's this George Peterson quote, which is like if you weren't going to have kids, like what the fuck would you be doing? That's so special. Like most of us are. Yeah. Yeah. It's not like I'm going to be inventing, you know, a new a new like equation for quantum field theory or something like I'm not doing any of that. So like, yeah, string theory is just a bit above our heads as well, you know? Right, exactly. So hanging out with the kids and, you know, playing Uno or goofing around is like, that's where I'm at. That's my song, right? The other thing you are, but I think of my kids just went back to school. So now I have like full days with nothing to do, but what I want to do. And you start to realize, like, what do people without kids in their thirties and forties do? There's just, oh, yeah, exactly. Yeah. You basically just get drunk in different locations. You're like, yeah, I went to Dublin and I got drunk and then I went to Istanbul and I got drunk and then I went to Rio de Ignar and I got drunk and you're like, okay, that's I didn't get drunk here. I got beer here, you know? Uh, yeah, people, people end up and I don't want to shit in the mouth of, of non parents here right off the bat, but fuck it. Let's do it. Everybody should have kids. It's well worth it. And I think at least based on my circle, most people I see that don't end up having children really, really wish they did. They get into their late thirties, forties and fifties and they realize, oh, I see what this whole thing's about. Um, highly recommend it. Get out there. Fuck everybody. Start fucking, start reproducing. Let's expand the species. Let's get more Bitcoiners. Yeah. Listen, if you don't have a, if you don't have kids, I consider you weak hands, you know, cause there's no one to get a huddle after your debt. So what you only got like max, you know, 40, 50 years of huddling there. All right. Like we need to extend that out. Seven generation thinking like my boy, Marty bent says, you know, I listened to you with, uh, the, your most recent chat with Peter and Peter was spending some time saying like, I love smart huddle. I like the glasses. I like the refined civilized huddle and Josh were like, Josh and I were like, fuck that shit. We want total huddle. If you don't deliver that today, you fucked up. Cause we need you fully unleashed my friend. All right. I mean, I'll do my best. Let's see what I got. Firehouse humor. Yeah. Oh yeah. I think you'd fit right into the firehouse based on some of the stuff I've heard you, uh, spew over the, over the years, I think you'd fit right in, especially coffee hour, eight o 'clock in the morning, just a bunch of degenerates. I don't know if you guys have seen the new Shane Gillis stand up on Netflix, but that's like my barometer for humor. Just like extremely immature playground humor, the way we used to talk to each other, you know, third grade. Yeah, exactly. Those are sort of litmus tests for like how far you can go culturally. You're like, Oh, we weren't allowed to say that 10 years ago. He just went that far in that, in that Netflix special. I guess that's the, that's the tip of the spear for how far we can go. Chappelle broke some boundary. A lot of people have broken boundaries on Netflix in the last, comedy in general has been regressive over the last 10 or 15 years. Like every, so many things have been taboo to say, especially for comedians, which really ruins comedians and only like Dave Chappelle can get away with it and a few others, but comedy has really been shit on in the last 10 years. I think the left went too far and they canceled basically too many people and you can't cancel everybody because then now you just have like half the country that's canceled. Right. And so, you know, all the canceled people, it's not like you killed them. Like they're still alive and they're just like, you know what? I don't give a shit about being canceled. And that's like where everybody's at nowadays. And so I am starting to see, like, I think the, you know, canceled culture has peaked and now we're on the other side of canceled culture. And there's a bunch, bunch of people who basically realize like, if you don't cancel yourself, nobody can really cancel you. You just, you just choose not to give a shit about it. I think it was actually Trump that taught everybody that maneuver. Right. Which is like, you know, whatever, I don't care, whatever you say about me, I don't give a fuck, you know, whatever. Uh, and you know, he's just going to, he's just going to keep going out there and calling you stormy horse face Daniels or whatever. He doesn't keep a shit. And you can be like, you know, you were the worst president ever. He'd be like, that's false. That was the best, best president. So you just don't let any of it get in there. You just go, no, he broke a ton of clown barriers. Trump did. He was masterful with the way he could do that. And if that guy had one characteristic that I admire, it's his ability to spin move out of any accusation by calling the other person, an ingenious nickname that stuck, like just nailed it every single time nickname ever. I think it was low energy Jeb. Who comes up with low energy Jeb. And then you would look at him and you'd be like, man, he is really low energy. Yeah, these things work a cup of coffee, you know, shortcut narratives are really effective. Speaking of presidents, you guys see Biden the other day and it was a yesterday in Vietnam. He literally got hooked off the stage because he started mumbling nonsense about something that was far off of what they were talking about. They turned his mic off while he was talking and he kept talking. And then they had an announcer get on and basically say, oh, you're done here, Mr. President, get, they got the hook out and they pulled him off stage. It was like, watch, watch this clip. Yeah, it was, it was insane. Shepherd came out. It was full blown, like, all right, get this fucking guy out of here before he makes us look even dumber. Unbelievable. You know, in a nation of 360 some odd million Americans, I think many of us are very intelligent. Uh, the last two presidents have been kind of, you know, not up to snuff, right? Like where are our good people, you know, like, yeah, we're not sending our best anymore, unfortunately. It is comical, but it's also downright embarrassing because, and I've heard enough out of you to know that you'll agree with this, I'm still very proud to be an American, I think there's a lot of wonderful things that this, this country stands for and imbues and, and it's done and it's, it's a downhill slope right now on both sides. And I just laugh at, I mean, obviously like most Bitcoiners and Josh and I are aligned on this, I just, both sides are in full blown, full frontal clown mode and, and anybody that's latching onto either candidate at this point, I almost lose respect for it. It's like, how can you take either of these guys seriously? But we need to dig out of that. Like that, that needs to be fixed to your point. That's not something that that's healthy for the average American citizen to just be resigned to the fact that the leader of the entire nation is a complete idiot, we need to dig out of that and hopefully reverse that trend. Well, you know, in general, I lean conservative usually, but I actually have been, uh, you know, found myself very intrigued by Robert F Kennedy Jr. And it's not just because he's a Bitcoiner, but I think he really has the discourse into the Overton window, right? Like by basically being like, why am I not, I'm a Democrat my whole life. My father was, you know, a president, a Senator, a presidential candidate. My uncle was killed. He was one of the most popular democratic presidents of all time. Why am I not allowed to say this? Why am I not allowed to have opinions or questions? And yet in America, I feel like anytime we lose our foundational principle, which is, you know, free speech, anytime we're losing that we're losing our soul as a almost anything you want without significant repercussions, that's, that's just how things are. Like, obviously if you say something that's very racist or hateful or homicidal or genocidal or something, then people are going to be, they're gonna have a lot of feelings about it, but there's very little speech. That's actually illegal speech, right? And we should be able to, yeah, just get together in a room and discuss things as Americans. That's a very rare thing. Like that's, that's not something that you find in almost any other culture on earth. You know, I was talking to Peter McCormick McCormick about this, but like the British sarcastic, dry humor that they're all known for that is because they don't have free speech. So they have to be sarcastic. That's never occurred to me before that either. Right. They have a shield to hide behind and they can be like, Oh, come on, mate. I was just taking the piss. Whereas we as Americans can just say what the fuck we actually think, which is a more effective system. They, they have to, I mean, I'm glad it happened because I love British humor. Yeah. They have to show a side boob. They can't go full frontal. You know what I mean? Exactly. Gentlemen. I'm sure you guys will both agree with this point as well. So we've got these clown puppet leaders that we're, we're just accosted with every four years and have to deal with the shit sandwich or the giant douche. And we've got to pick between the two of them. But then there's also like every time there's like, I mean, I'd say most times there's a new law, some new bullshit with COVID that happened in the last couple of years, I'm stunned by the stupidity and heavy handedness, which a lot of this stuff comes down. And it's like, it's like, I'm disappointed by how bad these takes can be and how bad these real changes are and how overbearing a lot of this has been, especially in the last few years. But it seems like every time a new law is, is instantiated, it's just feels wrong on its face. And I feel like people are so numbed to it at this point that they just say, they just expect it to be the wrong thing instead of what we would prefer to have. Or I think people from our circles would prefer to have at least. What are your thoughts on that? About how there's just like this numbness about how these people operate. Well, there's, you know, we're recording this on nine 11 and one of the reasons I wanted to record with you guys, cause you're both firefighters and I think not, you know, we're all around the same age. Nine 11 was the seminal moment of our young lives. And obviously like certainly had an effect on both of you, I'm sure. And I'd love to hear your stories about that. Um, but you know, to me, I'm, I'm, I have a good, I have a great memory. That's it's a gift and a curse. And one of the things that, uh, I remember is the world pre nine 11. I remember what it was like, and we're now living in an entirely different world. That's not better. It's a worst world. You know, we have an, a heightened security state, a heightened surveillance state. I mean, you used to be able to just, you know, what is TSA really accomplished? Like, did they prevent any new, uh, atrocities? I don't think they did because one guy tried to bomb a shoe bomber shoes, and now we are going to take off my, I got to take off my fucking band, slip -ons every time, you know what I mean? And your belt crying shame. Yeah. Yeah. Fucking shoe bomber. I mean, it is, it is like, we appreciate you bringing that up. It is, uh, in the fire service, it's, it's the day of the year. Um, and it, it's been said for a couple of decades now, never forget. But I feel like the fire service, Josh has done a pretty good job of not forgetting. Like you still see it on a lot of fire trucks. Every single firehouse around the country is honoring it today. There's a moment of silence that comes over dispatch. There's events that happen every year and yeah, I don't know. This is just a complete sidebar on nine 11, but it was fucking insane. Fucking insane. I was in sixth grade. I remember where I was as everyone does. Um, and wasn't fully able to appreciate the magnitude, but as the years have gone watching back in the documentaries and thinking through just like from our vantage point, um, I, Josh, we've talked about this before with our career. Like there is a degree of submission to risk. It doesn't happen very often. We don't want to overplay the hero card here. And the vast majority of our job where paramedics, we rotate ambulance to fire truck, but when this shit happens, it's real. And you've kind of sworn an oath to not have a choice, but to go into that, if that happens in your career, that second story bedroom to risk your life for a kid or whatever, all those men and women that went into that building, obviously hindsight's 2020, but if we worked in New York at that time and, and had the badge on, we would have had, we would have done the exact same thing. So, um, yeah, the heroism that existed by I agree, like to, to get, to get back off the nine 11 is just like, what, how has the world improved in any way, shape or form since then? And it has not in many ways, it's devolved in the opposite direction and we need new currents that flow the opposite way that, that get us back to a lot of American ideals, which is part of what we've latched onto the most about what you've said. And spoken into this community. Totally. We see, uh, so the Patriot act was instantiated right afterwards, which took away a whole, it added surveillance, took away a whole bunch of fundamental rights. And it was supposed to be sunsetted. I don't remember if it was five or 10 years after nine 11, but they extended it and they've continued to extend it since then. It's again, back to what we were just talking about. Like these, it's almost like a peg in, they get a foothold in and the politicians never relinquish any power whatsoever. It's always another step up. Another squeezing of, of the populace. They peg a shit coin into, into American ideals, kind of like potentially pegging shit coins into Bitcoin with drive chains. I don't know. Maybe we ended up today. Smooth transition there. I can't think of a worse way to honor all of the brave guys, you know, who ran into the towers when they were on fire. Then what we've done in the aftermath of nine 11, you know, I just can't think of a worse world. I saw it. I saw an Instagram post that actually made me pretty emotional. It was a, you know, young, pretty girl. She's probably in her like late twenties now. And she went to visit the Memorial cause her father was FDNY and he ran into the building. He ran into tower two and he collapsed on him and she grew up her whole life without her father. Right. And he made the ultimate sacrifice. And that's something that you guys have to, you know, that's an interesting conversation actually like around risk.

A highlight from Holesky Testnet Launch Fails
"Welcome to your Ethereum news roundup. Here's your latest for Friday, September 15th, 2023. Ethereum's Holeshki testnet experiences a launch failure, 472 nouns opt in to join a fork of the noun style, Optimism distributes unclaimed OP airdrop tokens, and DevConnect announces a censorship resistance event. All this and more starts right now. Happy Merge Day, September 15th, marks the one -year anniversary since Ethereum's transition into a proof -of -stake chain. Since the merge, Ethereum's supply has remained deflationary with 300 ,000 Ether being burned. Ethereum's Holeshki testnet encountered a launch failure today stemming from misconfiguration issues. Although the network's Genesis epoch commenced at 2 p .m. UTC, it failed to attain slot proposals. 31 out of the 32 slots in the Genesis epoch had missed proposals. Since no blocks were created, nodes remained in a sinking state. Holeshki aimed for a Genesis validator set of 1 .5 million validators, approximately three times the number of validators on Ethereum mainnet. The testnet is set to have 1 .6 billion Holeshki ETH available at Genesis. Ethereum researcher Proto .eth clarified that the launch failure was not a consequence of the network's large size. Development teams agreed to schedule a relaunch for the testnet. Holeshki is designed to replace Gourley as a testnet for staking infrastructure and protocol development. Gourley is set to be deprecated this coming December. Holeshki also allows public validators, including DVT projects, to participate in the network. Ethereum testnets have a lifespan of five years. Out of a total of 847 nouns, 472 nouns, or about 55%, have chosen to exit nounstyle via nouns fork version 0. Those who joined the fork can claim about 35 .5 Ether from the nounstyle treasury in exchange for their noun. The remaining 377 nouns will still be able to participate in nounstyle proposals as usual, with the project's remaining treasury of 13 ,310 Ether. The nouns fork is a mechanism that allows nouns NFT holders to exit the current iteration of the nounstyle. This design was introduced as part of the project's V3 upgrade in July. Nouns is a generative NFT project that auctions off an NFT daily, with the proceeds being directed into the DAO treasury. Each noun NFT holder is able to vote on proposals. Optimism announced that it will distribute all unclaimed OP tokens from its first airdrop to eligible addresses. A total of 48 million OP tokens will be airdropped directly to 88 ,000 unique addresses who have not yet claimed the airdrop, which first went live in June of 2022. Usually projects send back unclaimed tokens to their DAO treasury. Roughly 590 million OP tokens remain allocated for future Optimism airdrops. And lastly, DevConnect, an Ethereum -centric conference in Istanbul scheduled for November 13th, will now feature a full -day event dedicated to censorship resistance. The event, coined as censorship .wtf, will delve into research and cryptoeconomics related to censorship resistance on Ethereum, spanning from the protocol to the application level. Currently, speakers can apply to present at the event. This has been a roundup of today's top news stories in Ethereum.

Daily Crypto Report
A highlight from "Founder of defunct Turkish crypto exchange Thodex faces life in prison." Sep 08, 2023
"It's 8am eastern September the 8th, and this is your daily crypto report. Bitcoin is down slightly at $25 ,798, ETH is down slightly at $1 ,625, and Binance Coin is down slightly at $214. The FBI says the North Korean Lazarus Group is responsible for the $41 million theft from crypto -based sports betting platform Stake .com. The Lazarus Group has been involved in several other significant virtual currency thefts this year, totaling over $200 million. The Lazarus Group is known for targeting the blockchain sector using methods like spearphishing and malicious software to steal crypto. The founder of the now -defunct Turkish crypto exchange Theodex, Farouk Fati Ozair, has been sentenced to 11 ,196 years in prison. A court in Istanbul found him guilty of various crimes, including aggravated fraud, money laundering, and leading a criminal organization. Ozair, along with his two siblings, received similar jail terms for their involvement. Theodex abruptly halted trading in 2021, causing substantial losses for over 400 ,000 users. Ozair disappeared at the time and fled to Albania, but he was later extradited to Turkey. Chainalysis estimated the losses for the exchange at $2 .5 billion. Former FTX executive Ryan Salameh has pled guilty to conspiracy charges related to unlawful political contributions and operating an unlicensed money transmitter business. He has been released on a $1 million bond. Salameh admitted to making $10 million in political contributions that he disguised as loans. As part of his plea agreement, he will surrender $1 .6 billion in assets, including two properties and a Porsche. This marks the fourth guilty plea in connection with the collapse of the crypto exchange FTX. Salameh's guilty plea implicates FTX, Alameda Research, and co -conspirators in an unlawful political influence campaign. Prosecutors revealed that over 300 political donations totaling tens of millions were made unlawfully through straw donors or corporate funds to evade contribution limits. Salameh had stated that he won't testify at former FTX CEO Sam Bankman -Friede's upcoming trial, but we'll see. And finally, Bitcoin mining and data center hosting company Riot Platforms received a record $31 million in energy credits in August by cutting its power usage by over 95 % during peak demand. This helped support the Texas energy grid during a summer heat wave. While Riot sacrificed some potential revenue from its Bitcoin mining operations, it still earned Bitcoin 333 from mining revenue in August along with 40 million, including the energy credits. Riot's energy credits significantly reduced its Bitcoin mining costs, making it one of the lowest cost producers of the industry. The company expects to expand its mining capacity further and the firm shares have risen 222 % year to date. Well, that's all for us today.

Available Worldwide
A highlight from Jessica Hayden | Writer, Lawyer, DiploMomma
"Welcome to Available Worldwide, the podcast by, for, and about the accompanying partners of the U .S. Foreign Service. Welcome to Available Worldwide. I'm Stephanie Anderson here today with Jessica Hayden. Welcome Jessica. Thank you so much. So your byline is writer, lawyer, and diploma. I'm sure we're going to be talking about all three of those titles today. Let's get started with a few quick fire questions just to get to know you. So Jessica, what are some of your hobbies? What do you do for fun? I love to run. I have a group of friends from when we lived in Turkey that we still get together every few years to do races together. So running is a big pastime for me. I like to read. I try to like to cook. I'm not always great at it, but I enjoy it. And I used to knit a ton and my daughter's taken it up, so I'm trying to, trying to start knitting again. I love that you said you try to like to cook. Well, it's one of those things, especially when you're living overseas, there's certain things that you just can't get as easily, right? Like tortillas. So I've taught myself to make tortillas or things that the kids really like. So we try. Speaking of tortillas, what's your favorite comfort food? It's definitely anything Italian. So I grew up in a town that was half Polish, half Italian. And so our school meals would be a lot of pasta, a lot of pierogies. So my favorites are baked seedy and lasagna and the stuff that puts on five pounds in the winter. I mean, it's kind of the definition of comfort food. Absolutely. Not a salad. So I know you guys just moved to The Hague. You're currently sitting in an empty house with your welcome kit and not much else. The Drexel. And the Drexel. I can see all the Drexel behind you. When you move, is there anything impractical that you carry around the world with you? We right now own a 200 -pound Turkish door from the west coast of Turkey. It's beautiful. It is so heavy and adds so much weight. And this time I brought it. I didn't want to put it in storage again, so it is completely impractical. It's a huge piece of art. It's very hard to hang on the wall, but we brought it because I love it. I can picture it. I'm sure it's gorgeous. But 200 pounds. Wow. Yeah. That's a commitment. It's ridiculous. So you've mentioned Turkey. So what other countries have you lived in? So we actually have progressively moved west. So our first tour was in Almaty, Kazakhstan, and in between each tour we went back to the U .S. But we've been in Kazakhstan, Baku, Azerbaijan, Ankara, Turkey, our fifth year there my husband did an unaccompanied assignment in Iraq. And then we were in Ukraine and now we're in the Netherlands. So let's get into talking about sort of the progression of your life as a Foreign Service accompanying partner. I know you started in this lifestyle pretty early on in your marriage. Can you tell us a little bit about that? Sure. I met my husband actually playing kickball in D .C. and he was already in training for the Foreign Service. So we knew pretty early on we'd have a big decision to make whether we were going to I remember can't exactly when he found out he was going to Kazakhstan, but it seemed pretty obvious that that was too far to date. And so after about a year of dating, we got engaged. And so I finished my first year of law school and then we moved to Kazakhstan six weeks later after we got married. We got married right after my first year of law school. So yeah, we've been doing this. It's been part of our relationship and marriage since the beginning. Can you remember back? Was that a really difficult decision for you to make between finishing law school in the U .S. and moving to Kazakhstan? It's interesting because I always felt like I could make everything work and it might not work in the way that you typically do things. So when I started law school, I remember going into the administration really early and explaining the situation. And I said, well, you have five years to finish, so you don't have to do it in three years. You can do it in five. So we went into it knowing we'd be in Kazakhstan for two years and that we would have to come back to the States next time. So I could finish law school. So early on, we kind of hopscotched. It was his career for a couple of years and then my career for a couple of years. At some point, that became very complicated. But it did work pretty well as a baseline understanding between the two of us. You did manage to finish law school within the five years. And that resonates with me, the idea that you looked at and you're like, I can make this work. Like, there's always a way to make it work. And then you were able to actually work in law when you were abroad? I was, yeah. It was really important to me. So I attended Georgetown. So my husband was able to still work in D .C. and I was local. And I really wanted to do a clerkship, which is where you work for a judge for a year. And so we made it work that we could stay in the States for those three years. And so I started out clerking for a judge. We're actually based in the West for a year, which was pretty neat and not very typical. I And then was able to get a fellowship when we moved to Azerbaijan next. So I did a freedom of speech fellowship with the American Bar Association. So it probably wasn't the typical path I would have taken, but it opened up a really interesting experience. I got to work in an NGO and then we came back to the States after that so I could practice at a law firm for a few years. So again, it was this kind of, you know, you get two years in Baku and you're kind of the lead and then we'll go back to D .C. where I can, you know, it might not have been his dream position back in D .C., but I got to do something that I thought was important for my career. I know a lot more people are teleworking these days. Do you think you could have done it teleworking or for your career was it important to have that time back in the U .S. to get more established? It was pretty important to come back to D .C. at that point. And I do know it is so different after COVID. I do know a lot of lawyers started after law school during COVID and did it remotely. I was doing a lot of litigation, which is very jurisdiction specific. So it was it I think it was instrumental to be here and then also to make the connections within that law firm, which were really helpful when we went back out again, because I had this pipe dream that I would be able I was working for a client and I talked my way into doing a bribery case. And I had this thought that kind of ironic, you talked your way into doing a bribery case. I talked my way in without bribing, no bribery at all. But, you know, litigation is very U .S. specific. I had this thought that if I could get involved in anti -corruption work, that's something that in the past 10 years has exploded in corporate America. Every corporation has a compliance department. They do a lot with anti -bribery, with sanctions. They're desperate for U .S. trade lawyers who are willing to travel to all of these different places. And so it's one of the things I kind of thought, well, this might be a path and it ended up working out. So I was very lucky to have a mentor whose daughter had married a Foreign Service officer and she was a lawyer as well. And they had been actually posted in Istanbul and she had a really hard time finding work there. And so I felt like he very much facilitated for me what he wished somebody had done for his daughter. And he was very helpful in talking to the client and kind of going to bat for me to say, you know, she can work, she can do this work from Truckee when you move. And so it wasn't, you know, in a different world, I probably would have loved to have stayed at the law firm for a few more years, but it really was at the time a great next step and allowed me to continue practicing through that next move. That's amazing having someone advocate for you and just to understand where you're coming from and the challenges.
WTOP
"istanbul" Discussed on WTOP
"Listening to WTOP News. 1223 it's been a week since India landed its first rover on the moon. India Space Agency now says it has detected sulfur and other elements on the lunar surface.

Brought to you by the loan experts I trust. Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandtodd .com. Joining us now is one of the most important investigative journalists in America. John Solomon from Just the News who also has a new shout on Real America's Voice every evening. You guys should check it out. John thank you for joining us. John walk us through the State Department emails, the memos that you've obtained and how that relates to Victor Shokin being back in the news cycle. Yeah I first interviewed Victor Shokin in the fall of 2019 and he said exactly to me what he said to Fox News last week and what is remarkable with that he's been incredibly consistent. Who's not been consistent? Joe Biden because Joe Biden has told us lots of things that have been unraveled to be untrue and some of them are big ones right. My family never got money from China. Yes it did. In fact Hunter Biden was going to plead guilty to like three, four, five, six million dollars in two years from China and not paying taxes on it. The laptop was disinformation. No it actually was a real laptop. I never talked to my son or his business partners about their business. Yes he did. He met with them at dinners, dialed into phone calls. The litany of falsehoods goes on and on but one of the enduring statements that Joe Biden has stuck to actually sustained all the way through the 2019 impeachment of Donald Trump and everything since the elections and even until this year. In fact just a few weeks ago he and the Washington Post and others were continuing to utter this line was yes I did fire. I did force the firing of that Ukraine prosecutor. I did meddle in Ukraine's internal politics and yes that prosecutor was investigating my son's company Victor Shokin but I had that my decision to get rid of him had nothing to by career officials. So given his record I went out to try to find the documents to see if that was true. It turns out there was a task force. This task force was made up of career justice treasury and state department officials and the national security council and together they made a recommendation in fall 2015 that Joe Biden shouldn't withhold the billion dollars. He should give the billion dollar loan guarantee because Victor Shokin was making adequate progress on an anti -corruption reform agenda. In fact the state department sent a wonderful letter to Shokin saying you're doing a good job that came from Victoria Nuland the top state department official for Ukraine affairs. So Joe Biden wasn't carrying out policy he changed the policy and it just so happened he changed the policy in a way that met his son's problem. His son as we know from his business partner Devin Archer was being pressured to deal with Shokin to slow down or stop the investigation. Well Joe Biden effectively did that when he fired the prosecutor by withholding a billion dollars he was told by career officials he should give to Ukraine. Pretty extraordinary unraveling of a story that Adam Schiff and all the impeachment managers and Joe Biden and the Washington Post fact checker and others imposed on the American people for four years. So John connect this also with this fake email account that Joe Biden also had Robert Peters and so what's what's strange about this is that he had a fake email address and it was at PCI .gov and so right it's a fake email but it's also a government email and multiple email addresses burner phones this Biden crime family actually might be more sophisticated than we ever gave them credit for. Yeah listen I think when you hear James Comer and Jim Jordan talk now that's the point they make and I think you just made it very effectively why do you need a burner phone why do you need three fake email addresses Robinware, JRWware and Robert L Peters if you're doing everything above board why are you forwarding things from your private account that are government official documents to your son what are those I first discovered these accounts in 2021 it's my lawsuit or it's my FOIA that led to the lawsuit yesterday and the discovery that there are now 5400 emails on these private accounts that are in the possession of the national archives the archives won't release that information why they had no problem releasing Donald Trump's information right but I what's interesting about this is in the few episodes that we've been able to find emails from these accounts what is Joe Biden doing he's forwarding sensitive government information from his government account his private account his private account to his foreign business pursuing son Hunter Biden I'll give you two examples one is in may of 16 just a few months after Joe Biden succeeded in getting the Ukrainian prosecutor fired he has a call set up with the Ukrainian president who he pressured Petro Poroshenko that call and the scheduling of that call is sent to his son Hunter Biden who just happens to have an interest in what Petro Poroshenko did and in the country of Ukraine as he's working for Brisbane earlier there is a an embassy cable that comes out of Turkey Istanbul that tells the vice president there's about to be a secret release of a U .S. hostage a U .S. prisoner in Turkey who had long been held this is non -public information it's a sensitive moment letting this get out because Turkey may or may not do it right it's a it's a tender dry moment they want to be careful and what does Joe Biden do he forwards that information to his private account and then he sends it to his son again non -public government information has a little bit of the rings of Hillary Clinton and her private email server obviously there's some differences but Joe Biden has a Hillary Clinton problem he also has a problem with falsehoods and with clearly now getting his job by lying to the American people his last job interview during the debates all false information so so here's what doesn't make dot gov email address that's not a federal government email address that's a state of Pennsylvania email address that if you type in and it goes to like the Pennsylvania department of corrections so why does he have a Pennsylvania email address who made it for him and secondly the bear the buried lead here is that from an eeop eop ovp which means executive office the vice president the staffers obviously knew that this was the communique channel so who made a Pennsylvania based email address for a sitting vice president yeah we don't know the answer or whether that's an alias that refers to yet another account but it is clear that government officials were corresponding with it and then that account would forward at some time that and other accounts like it because there's three accounts that we identified they then get forwarded to another account so there's a lot of questions here sometimes an email address can look like something and it can be forwarding to another one we don't know the answer but the pattern is concerning why lie why have a burner phone why have uh multiple email accounts that you're doing government business on when you're trained when you first come into office you shouldn't do that uh there's something untoward and we don't know the full extent of it yet but Joe Biden's one thing we do know the story Joe Biden gave the American people during impeachment and since to get his job as president doesn't add up the fact contradicting conflict with what he's told us that's a big problem for a president heading into reelection with an already low popularity rating because of the fact that he's got a bad inflation uh bad inflationary economy uh has had major missteps on the world stage like the Afghanistan withdrawal an unpopular president with now the smell of corruption around him yeah it's very strange if you type in pci .gov then it goes to the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections I mean so Joe Biden's not technically savvy enough to make his own email address so somebody made him an email anyway so if anyone out in the universe knows the story of why Joe Biden would have that he never was a senator from Pennsylvania he was a senator from Delaware he grew up in Scranton and so the private email he had was a government email address for Pennsylvania somebody has to answer for that okay so but despite all this John I want to play this piece of tape it's infuriating I think the evidence is overwhelming it's not a hard tough call let's start impeachment proceedings but Republican Don Bacon says nah I'm not convinced play cut 51.

Turkey's Erdogan turns away reform-minded challenger to win another term
"In Istanbul, residents are reacting to the news that Turkish president Recep Tayyip has won a third term in office over one secured more than 52% of the vote in Sunday's presidential runoff against kemal khali, two weeks after he falls short of securing an outright victory in the first round. We won, we won, says one resident. Erdoğan is a fighter, we finally won. But not everyone in the Turkish capital is celebrating. One resident says our expectation was to have new blood to have someone new come. However, this did not happen. I am disappointed. That is what I can tell you. Erdoğan is now tasked with confronting skyrocketing inflation that has fueled a cost of living crisis and rebuilding in the aftermath of February's devastating earthquake that killed more than 50,000 people.

"After the show Monday with Gaga was mean to Marino, I don't think I was, but we have to call a cat a cat, right? They don't play Roma and not playing well. Mourinho's teams don't play well. I don't want him in my club because I want my team to try at least to play well. And within my brain discipline and the match team win is the winner of great. I like him for that, but no, not for me. So please leave me alone with Mourinho. This is the he's got another year in this country room I can stay if you want. You can extend, you can do whatever you want. No. How does somebody slide into your DMs? How does that work? So on Twitter you can press the mail button and then it goes in. And you have one segment of people that you follow, who you message. Okay. Another one of message requests, which is quite the eclectic mix. It must be said. Well, there has to be said. You must be an incredible as fool. To open up your DMs to everybody. No, sometimes it's nice. It's not nice. Sometimes it's nice, Dan, you're brilliant. You're the best. Might be like you, or that sort of stuff. That happened. Other things there are people there are some ladies from foreign countries who want to get in contact as early. The best, which is interesting as well. You know, it's all sorts in there. That's not a line of what you were going to do with that. Me neither. I do not interact with those, misses Thomas, I promise. Right. Well, I think that's true. Go out in here. Oh. Done. Who do you fancy between mills and Coventry for the Wembley playoff final against Luton town? Wow, I mean, two of my former clubs there of and Luton, while three actually because they knocked sunlight out tonight, which was a shame. I think Michael Carrick's Borat are the best side at the three. So if they can make it past commentary, I think they beat looting in the final I play good funny. And Michaels are made of mine where I can slide into his DMs next season in the primary for you then. Well, you try to slay then if Frank Lampard didn't work. No blue tint. And that's it. Let it down. Yeah, yeah. She was so much better to do. A funny feeling the recorded version of the show might be minus a chunk. What is that? I don't think it's anything derogatory. I think if you've got a brain, you'll be able to know what would it produce? Even better, brave, you go down to the edit room and do it in the show. Get the tape, get the tape and just pull the whole thing up. Leave it. What's going on? Things I've got a wonderful way. What are you doing at my house? Okay. Do you open your DMs? I know. If I had to ask a question, because I have no idea how this happens. And why would you even? I know you can open your DMs. My DMs are yeah, but my DMs are only open to people that I follow and they fall. Right, okay. Why would you? Because some people like to get in contact about things. We can use normal. Yeah, but some people prefer to do it privately. So you just want to interact with everybody. Oh, it's nice, isn't it? Get away. So you need the feedback you need, the positive reinforcement. What's happening with you? Thanks, Don. I'm just saying it's a nice touch. So that you feel good about yourself? No, not at all, but if a lot of people message me saying tell Stevie, he's completely wrong as well about things. Which, okay, so then why would you open yourself up to that? Yeah, I know, that's true. I'm not a PA. PA for Stevie and gray. Are your DMs open Don? Board another clue Dan. No idea. I'm guessing, I'm guessing not because I don't get any private messages. Oh, brilliant. Stuff you don't need the nuts that stuff you don't want. It's not all right. I mean, it's just everyone will be asking it for 200 quid.

"I think whoever wants to sign him and into my just be able to keep him for at least another year because financially that would be better and this final would bring more money and they should be okay. They might not have to know how to sell any of the big stars actually. This summer, but if they have to lose one and eat him, I think whoever signs him will have a really amazing play on the book. But hasn't it played with someday for two years? Alongside a striker, Lukaku, while he played alongside Lukaku in Lukaku was fully fit. Now he's playing alongside Jekyll at times, what would he be like? Joel, what would he be like? In England, and a lot of football clubs ignoring Don, I like this. Because the big clubs in Spain and England and other countries generally play with one open two wide or whatever it is and it came to some because the plane with another big striker up with them so I mean, am I taking away from them? Would it be able to cope with that plan on these orders? Are you good enough to do that? No, I think it's a great question and maybe in a way he lost his place in the Argentina team because he could not do it on his own. The way Alvarez, for example, did for the rest of the World Cup it's a really good question. I think if let's say he goes to Chelsea and the pochettino can punch kind of turn him into the number 9 I can play on his own up front without the help of a Jekyll and Lukaku or even a Correa who different to the other two, but still partnering with France because you play my Chelsea with some sort of second striker that is actually quite close to him and that could work that way. I think it would be really interesting to see and my bad right now because again I don't think they would have to sell. But I would like to see them in the Premier League and I would like to see them in the environment where he's the lone striker and see how well or not he does. Will they get Lukaku back anyway? Yep. He's coming back. Don, percent his chance of inter winning the Champions League. I think it's a, I think it's a 25% oh, you're here to tell me. See, that's okay. So he's over here flying the flag, right? And he's saying that we are hating on Italian football. Now he's given an opportunity to take a long time. Oh, that's wrong. All right, I'm messed up. I would say 30%. There we go. Nice. For Jules, how excited are you about the prospect of Mourinho taking over from the French guy at PSG? This summer. It's interesting. We get asked this question, Jules. Because then because somebody, somebody slid into my DMs and said, hey Dan, could you please stop asking Jules about Mourinho are someone without an agenda or bias and know what they're talking about? Wow. Jules not a Mourinho fan and a bias against him.

"The best atmosphere I've seen a football match really, the ground was shaking in that stadium, the final fantastic, the Milan fan, 7000 of them were played their part because they were great too. The game wasn't great, of course, and the quality was a bit missing. But everything around it was just incredible and really, I'd never been to a Darby in Milan, even less linear Champions League semifinal second leg. And I was very excited in that just fulfilled everything that participated before. It was really amazing. I told you they're sold before. What's that? When I was at the San Siro. What year were you there? 12 years ago. How bitter are you towards Jan? Jan, well maybe I'm for other reasons. For Jules at Jules. Yeah, I was working with your snack for a different company and what really got me was when him and Adriano just had the champ is the trophy just placed behind and I was like, that didn't happen to me last week. You were doing a stranger's house. So give and take. Any questions? Jules which Premier League club speed dialed into for a louder Martinez transfer request when the first inter goal went in. You know what? Someone was mentioning yesterday that I tried to see that especially with a big big fan of Martinez. I mean, I think everybody's a fan. It's 25 gores 9, back to back season. He seemed to have taken his game. I know the World Cup was not great for him. I mean, he was actually in the end. Obviously, but overall, it was not maybe the best competition. He lost his place in the team and going out of our own play, et cetera, it became a sub. But it's another great season. And I think just all around game, I mean, tonight, it was amazing. Holding the ball up. Winning duels, getting keeping the ball, creating chances. It's called obviously a really good goal with us so double one two with the kaku and you just never stop working and you chased the ball everywhere. You just I think it would be aggressive. It was 25 years old. I think whoever wants to sign him and into my just be able to keep him for at least another year because financially that would be better and this final would bring more money

I'm trying to VAT bills. Poor Nicholas trying to respond to emails. I was like, where did I stay when Adele Mark? There we go. Perfect. Well, don't tell people they might be camping outside the door. Throwing things out. I hear him Victor ozone, standing in the summer as well. Autograph 5. For more. For all, Frank will start with you. Did Milan know they had a game today. Wow. Is that from her boss? No, I know. It's been a bit hard. Very angry. He's a Milan, is he still in Milan supporter? It's probably jump shepherd. I don't know. Maybe even these Groningen fans. I'm a let that came out. They came out, or I didn't they? Well yeah, they've got bits for you now and I know, but today they were better. I think I was sleeping during that game. Well, I don't know what you're talking about. Don't do it. Yeah, no. They've not got the quality done. They just haven't got the quality of the in the Milan squad. They haven't. I mean, when you look past probably goalkeeper, mcmann, when you look past tonali, when you look past liao, you're still dealing with the 36 year old gerudo who's doing really well, but he's 36, so you can mark him and he's not going to run him behind. That sounds 41, but rigg is on a free transfer, and they've got no money whatsoever. When I walked away from San Siro last week, Dan, watching the game. Did you go to San zero? What? Did you talk? When I walked away from that game, trying to analyze it in my head, how the game went. I didn't really necessarily pop. No, I did, 'cause you sort of put your analyst head on, you're trying to think, well, you know, what happened there and you see the goals, you see everything going on. But I didn't necessarily or I got my head into how A.C. Milan fans were thinking. I didn't put that on purely. I sort of seen an interview Maldini saying, we need to back the audience now. It wouldn't just get out no last season. He's an excellent manager. We need to try and give him the funds to buy better players. And I think when you look at the two squads in the Milan squad is by a million miles better and deeper than Milan squad. Let's be honest, most apart from Napoli. Most of the teams in Italy are full of has beens from other clubs. This is very negative towards Italian food, but let's move on. Let's move on. Let's not go down that. Tell me the argument against that. Right? Awesome. I said apart from that. I see Napoli at the anomaly. Right? Tell me the argument. You can do several in today's game alone. Yeah, you're dealing with Craig. I mean, Italian football strong. This season, two Italian teams in the semifinal, we got two Italian teams. I've got Italians I've got teams in the final, I'll give you that. But it's over trouble is not strong. It's not strong. Well, I think it is strong, but how do you try and compete with the riches and the Premier League? You go back to Italia 90, all the best players. All of us to you, all the best players in world football play in Italy. Then probably fast forward to the noughties in the 2000s. Everyone wanted to play with a galactic goes around Madrid and basa. Now it's the Premier League, the Premier League teams are going to La Liga and the picking up managed and Unai Emery, and they're bringing them to teams that are in the bottom three of the Premier League. These guys love Patagonia, these guys are elite managers. We're bringing them into third and fourth at the bottom of the league. So how does sadia come people back when you've just counter argued yourself here? I mean, I'm not going down the line of who's got the most money and who can spend.

"For tomorrow crane. I'm sorry. I'd be for tomorrow. All right. You brought up this speed of car walk, and I just wanted to address that because he spoke in the press conference. Obviously dropped for much of the early part of the season this week. He had to say about that. I can't see her in light of you and say it didn't hurt. Of course it did. You start to doubt yourself, but you have to go back to basics to what you're good at. What he bought for and prove him wrong, and that is what I need to do to react as a professional. Sometimes certain opinions in football you don't always agree with, but for what he's done for me and for Manchester City in the last 6 years, has been nothing short of tremendous. Don't have difficult is that situation where it used to be in a regular used to sink. I'll walk a bomb every single time on their first 11, then all of a sudden you find yourself on the bench. How deep do you have to dig to get yourself back in the mindset to be get ready to play again and prove yourself? Yeah, I thought it was a great interview. I thought I think he spoke really well when he's been interviewed he's matured, I think I'll walk I think in his interviews, he speaks very well. And he's very honest. You know, I think Guardiola more or less was saying to me, well, I want you in that inverted sort of right back into midfield position. You might not have the technical ability to do it. That's why you prefer John stone, so you put it on car walk, and he didn't play him in some games, because pep thought he didn't have the sort of technique or the ability to play there. So, you know, he didn't hoof around and he said in the press conference, I've got to be mature and I've got to make sure I put on a smiley face because it can hinder the young players around me if I'm moping around, but then I think he dug a little bit deepened, you know, worked on the ability, worked on being that position, so Guardiola then trust him again. And I think if you're playing the right back and if you're playing against Real Madrid, you could choose any right back in world football to try and stop video junior the go to in my opinions Carl walker. So I think he deserves load of credit for what he's been saying because great interviews very honest, but also the work that he's done when he's not been in the site to convince someone like

"When you consider and you evaluate both of these teams. And you look at the midfield of winter. And you got the work of barela who I think is excellent for them. And then you have to make it until nobu. Now, I just mentioned a couple of players there that they have been essentially journeymen when you think of megatherium and Tyler noble. Now, good players. Don't get me wrong, but they're not great players. And yet in that first leg in particular, they were made to look as if this was Casimir cross on moderates running the midfield for inter. And inability of Milan to not only pressure the ball through the midfield, win the ball back, regain possession, actually maintain possession and force guys like Tylenol will make it to defend and defend the deep on their own half. It just never happened in the first leg and it was never going to happen in the second leg. When you spin this forward and you imagine what this midfield three will play against whether it's Manchester City or Real Madrid, that's when you start to believe and think it's a mismatch. Now I don't want to burst the bubble for inter great accomplishment. But I think it gives you a little bit of context that that midfield three was able to dominate at Champions League semifinal in the minor in which they did. It's a reflection, a very poor reflection on Milan. Milan fans would say it could have been all been different, had the referee taking action for that stamp that we saw earlier on in the second half. And rightly so I think it's worth a moment. I mean, a cherry's got this in the locker down. He's a very aggressive center back, but he went way above and beyond the other is a stand on tenali and in my opinion. I think the boys might agree this should have been a red card. It might have changed the complexion and what happened in the game. That's a big moment in the game. I think you can see, I think manon, you can see some more both having a moan, I think Charles coming across your route to come across all offer an opinion. So not easy to throw a referee to try and spot in real time, but surely var must have seen that surely the replays were showing that there was a definite stamp.

Joining first round pick, cornerback Deontay banks from Maryland will be second rounder John Michael Schmidt's a center from Minnesota and wide receiver Jalen Hyatt from Tennessee in the third round. Giants trying to build off a successful season which saw the return of saquon Barkley to true form and Daniel Jones breaking through. They led the Gmail into the playoffs. Jets they're still gleaming from acquiring future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers from Green Bay. They also added a center from the Big Ten. Joe tippman from Wisconsin with their second round pick, jets do not have a third round pick. Draft continues on Saturday. On the frozen floor, there will be no game 7. As the islanders season is over, New York held a one zero lead over the heavily favored Carolina hurricanes until the third period before the equalizer. That led to overtime when Paul stash neet buried the puck to give the canes a two one series win in 6 games on Long Island. Local fans, they'll be all too familiar with the hurricanes as they await the winner of the rangers and devil series currently three two in favor of New Jersey, game 6 at Madison Square Garden Saturday at 8 o'clock. Florida, they force a game 7 with Boston after a 7 5 home win. Basketball, not many would have expected the Knicks have home court advantage as the 5 seat, but a welcome the heat, the 8th seed who ousted top seed Milwaukee.

I'm rob buska. This is a Bloomberg money minute. Abortion was said to be a hot topic at this year's annual shareholder meetings, activist investors filed about 30 proxy proposals, asking companies to clarify reproductive health related policies. But investors rescinded about half of those instead of having a public vote many firms are choosing to settle the activists questions and concerns out of the spotlight. Between a proxy fight or waging a proxy fight against an activist or a social movement organization. There are significant costs associated with it. Michigan state university professor Jerry McNamara is an expert in managerial decision making and strategic management. The firm takes a public stance on a contentious issue. That has impact on how employees feel working in the organization and research suggests that it demotivates those who disagree with the public stance. On the other hand, it has little impact on those who agree. So there's really little to be gained by having a big public brouhaha about a topic. I'm Ed Corey, Bloomberg radio

"Because the idea of autonomy. So it wasn't something that they had to force down a rule on everybody. Exactly. As long as you were loyal to the state, but the point I'm making is about locality. People were very local in the imagination. The shift in regard to thinking global was the printed press. But now you have newspapers, you're reading about somebody in India. You're reading this about somebody in Cairo. You're reading about prior to that imagination. You knew that Cairo existed. But what's happening in day to today life in Cairo, somebody in Istanbul didn't care. So Istanbul in some way was an enclave. And this is why you can see Ottoman studies been very Istanbul centered when they're talking about the Sultanate. But the machinery of empire is a series of negotiations. So a way of understanding this, Star Wars, Game of Thrones, one piece in manga, Naruto world building, people love worldbuilding, right? And when you watch these shows, you understand the complexity of how world Biden operates. People don't understand that's how the Ottoman Empire is. It's a giant world, and if you looked at it in that context, game of France is interesting in that sense, when we watch in turkey, it's like clean version. So it's a huge chessboard. That's right. It's a huge chess board. So just coming back to the original for previous question. So when were the genes sort of disbanded? 1826. And members that other genes are involved with the Young Turks at all? No. So the Young Turks emerge in 1890 and so forth. The janitors are spending 1826 because they were seen as an obstacle for military reformation. Now, the reason why the janissaries are not reforming is because they were turning around and saying, listen, we know what the sultan is trying to do. He's trying to remove us on power because we put him in office in power. So we're not going anywhere. So we'll talk about this saying listen, if we don't do it, generously question now, we're going to get blitzed by the European. So one of the ways that the Ottomans were fighting wars is usually it would be a local, let's just say they invaded Cairo. It would be the army's in Cairo that would defend Cairo, and it enabling areas would send troops into field up the fort. And then maybe Istanbul said extra troops to help them. That's a look at a nature of the empire, whereas the British and the French didn't have to do that. They had a very different way of warfare, so then the Ottomans had to change the army quick by saying we need to learn drills. We need to machines. So even like the feds, right? The second brings to pheasant. Imagine you're going to war with a giant turbine, and people pop you off just like that. So they're saying, listen, we need to change the uniform. People go, what are you talking about? So you have these type of complexities in the empire that then he has to force it by brute force and becomes exceptionally unpopular for doing it because in Islam we don't like the idea of a ruler being so aggressive. He needed money for his army, so he started confiscating taxing people and so forth by say, listen, we need money. So people go down, you can't do that.

Then move follows a set off that a race billions of dollars from the value of its main equities gauge after two devastating earthquakes when they get back out to Bloomberg simmon demo account joins us from Istanbul simmon. One of authorities then communicated. Yeah, analysts, we've been speaking to Yusef, have been saying that this is the right thing to do after such a catastrophe in order to protect investors. Of course, as you said, trading has been halted now until 15th of February and Wednesday trades have actually been erased. Now forgetting about Wednesday's trades, $21 billion has been wiped off its value. This isn't the first time that Boris Istanbul has been halted for 5 working days. The last time this happened was after another devastating earthquake in 1999, and this week, the boss Istanbul was actually headed towards its worst trading week since the financial crisis in 2008. And of course, as the story evolves as people still grapple with the humanitarian issue on the ground, the Naya, the real economic implications of these quakes, how it plays out to monetary policy, how it plays out to studying the economy, isn't it? Yeah, that's right. It's hard to right now see the actual economic fallout from these devastating earthquakes. However, we're expecting a substantial hit to GDP growth, mounting inflation and also budget risks amid this huge spending increases that needs to rebuild the cities. Of course, president azwan, it's an election year, he says that elections will still continue may 14th. That's what Bloomberg is hearing. And so his government will be under huge pressure to announce huge spending plans to rebuild the countries that were hit by the double earthquakes in southeastern turkey.

"So Simone, I know that yesterday we talked about the deadly attack in Istanbul on a busy street, a number of people dead. 80 people injured. What more do we know? Well, right now, turkey's government increasing its blame on PKK, the Kurdistan Workers Party, saying that it arrested a woman who claimed to be a special intelligence officer for the PKK. She was a Syrian national that the government claims she entered the country illegally, left a bomb near a park bench and then took off in a taxi. Now the PKK, which is regarded as a terrorist organization in turkey, as well as among Western Allies, strongly denies that it has any involvement in this attack. So we are seeing this sort of back and forth between these two sides, but think of the political implications here right turkey has been a very concerned over Sweden support for Kurdish groups, has cracked down on Kurdish groups, other Kurdish groups within turkey itself and Kurdish voters are in a very important voting block that are going to be looking towards next year's election, likely to vote more for the opposition. So this throws a bit of a wrench into potentially opposition plans to bring them into the party. The dilemma in the meantime for a property giant like eMAR properties when it comes to long-term investment is that there's still about 45% below the stock price of 8 years ago. This batch of third quarter earnings, how does that maybe get them closer to making a comeback? Well, certainly the profits for Omar, which came out yesterday very strong. Up 47% from third quarter last year. But what I also noted was that profits and revenues both missed some of the analysts forecasts. We've seen a dramatic run up in share price for eMAR as a part of this enthusiasm about the property market story in Dubai, but having investors kind of gotten over their skis. You know, the commentary we got on this earnings statement and we're waiting for more. Is that there's an uptrend in Dubai property market sector. Recurring revenues are set to continue to grow. And then we're going to see tourism season, bring a little bit more excitement into things like hospitality and retail, but our investors kind of just too excited now have some of the catalysts that pushed us up all year. Have they faded? I think that's kind of the question we're going to be asking here. So I know that you're revving up for the World Cup. I don't know what ticket use of has got to go and see

"On the G 20. Let's get a little bit more on the FTX four like the regulators are investigating whether there was any criminal misconduct with Sam bankman fried. Being quizzed by the police and that was over the weekend in The Bahamas. So for more, let's bring in Joanna, who leads our crypto coverage. I mean, there's some staggering numbers being thrown around here, Joanna, his wealth from 16 billion to a billion, the coverage and the leverage within the businesses is quite incredulous. What is the latest headline you think that's driving the narrative? Yeah, well, now there are so many things going on, right? But one of them really is just trying to get clarity over what exactly FTX still has, what the holdings are, the bankruptcy filing was done very quickly. And so there are a lot of documents that still need to come in from that. So I think the headline would just be trying to get the clarity. Markets are still nervous, things are down again today. Solana, the token that was backed by FTX is down quite a lot even Bitcoin and ether down, dogecoins down. So we're waiting for a lot of those things. And then just waiting to see what we can find out about the results of those conversations with the police or what actions the police or regulators may take regarding FTX now. Well, another day, another set of headlines is interesting to see solano taking a real hit this morning, obviously it's associated with FTX, trying to thank you very much, we're tracking the story across the Bloomberg terminal and platform. Do you want to ask right here in Singapore? An explosion in Istanbul's tourist district yesterday killed at least 6 people and wounded 81. The Turkish officials are saying they suspect a terror attack among foxman has been tracking this story. This hits at the heart of the tourist area in turkey. What do we know? Yeah, if you've ever been down istiklal street, if you've frankly been to Istanbul, you've been to excess cloud street. You've been to the bar's restaurants, shops there. So a very hitting home essentially for the soul of Istanbul, authorities immediately considering this a terrorist attack. And then in the last few hours, the interior ministry said that it had a detained a suspect in this attack. It said the suspect has ties to the PKK, the Kurdistan Workers Party. We don't know any more details about who the suspect is, whether it's a man, whether it's a woman, there had been early reports that a woman had been involved in this. We're really waiting here to kind of get more details as yet. But if this wasn't a legend attack, if this was tied to the PKK, that has very important political consequences, this group is considered a terrorist organization, both within turkey and with turkey's Western Allies across Europe and the United States, president Erdoğan has been vehemently opposed to some of the Kurdish parties, ostensibly over their links to this terrorist group, not just domestically, but also with respect to the Ascension of Sweden and to NATO, this has been his key sticking point for going along with this as Swedish Ascension is concessions from that government. Again, though, we don't know enough to really talk about this concretely. We will see as these details develop over the next hours and days. Simone, thank you very much. We'll certainly track this story from turkey and around the Middle East. Simon foxman and Doha. Quick breaking news line on Americana. This is the consumer business.

The future of Afghanistan remains very uncertain as the U. S withdrawal date from the country in September approaches. The Taliban and Afghan government failed to meet for a scheduled peace conference in Istanbul last week. There are no other scheduled talks on the horizon. Today. The U. S State Department also announced it was removing all personnel whose functions can be performed elsewhere other than the U. S Embassy in Kabul. This announcement has many Afghans feeling anxious about what comes next. Lima Armadas in Afghan PhD candidate and research fellow at the Fletcher School at Tufts University. She joins us from Washington. How does this announcement by the State Department have you feeling Lima? I was kind of mad this morning by a seeing the tweet actually and have bean really following sense a couple of weeks. But then why this this urgency that yes, everybody has to leave. Before me first because there might be an increase in violence and I felt that are we telling Taliban that like him take over the country, the country will collapse, the current government will collapse. Lima As to that tweet you're referring to about the withdrawal of U. S personnel from the embassy in Kabul. I mean, it's not a surprise that the U. S Embassy staff will leave Kabul. It's also not a surprise that there are security concerns in the country. Why does that particular message from frustrate? You are concerned you so much So for me, you do this messaging just before May 1st see things like they are kind of giving a little bit more credibility toe Taliban that once the May 1st data's past where the agreement between Taliban and the US was that the U. S will withdraw will do full the draw and it has been done. It means the Taliban have the capability to increase violence. When I called back home, I said, is something going on? This is all the three or four big embassies have announced that that before May 1st we have to live so making this may 1st a deadline and not even for the court reasons for the reasons off. There will be more violence, which I'll already the country is so much in violence. So for us it was how much more violence will increase. The hopes are very high for a peace deal between the Afghan government of the Taliban before September. But as I said last week, they were scheduled to meet and the parties did not. Do you know of anyone in Afghanistan who believes that a peace agreement will actually happen? Before all U. S troops leave, So there is a lot going on. A lot of analysts and Afghanistan predicted that President Biden's announcement just before the meeting really pushed or really caused that the Taliban were not are not participating, and on the Then Istanbul conference because they do not see any leverage. So for me, I still see that there will be a conference happening. I still see that visual countries like Pakistan, India, China in Iran can really come together and and push for this conference to happen. So I hear you holding out hope for a peaceful solution. How much faith do Afghans have that If a peace deal is not achieved, their government can protect them In the event, the Taliban makes a play for more power. I don't think a black believe that Afghan government can protect them because the Afghan government is so much divided into different faction. They are not unified as they're supposed to be at this moment of time. The one thing is, the public is so sure the Taliban will not take or like it's not possible. But there is so much fair, so everybody is scared off more violence and weapon or open war. I think Afghans are living within the situation and within the The context of the violins. They are not even allowed to King how the system will function rather than until getting to any off the system..
