A highlight from Are Altcoins Still In Trouble? (Gary Gensler Not Giving Up)
"Dark AI agents, you know, giving us just answers that, you know, that they get access to, the government gets access to, the tech companies get access to those answers. Why can't we ask the crazy questions? We have Gary Gensler. He just had some comments. He just was speaking in front of the House Financial Subcommittee, I believe here in the SEC. Gary Gensler demonstrates an unbowed will to stand down from his stance towards crypto ahead of the Senate hearing. Here was the Senate, following the Commission's partial loss in the SEC versus Ripple lawsuit, and an even more clear -cut setback in the ETF contention. Gensler is seemingly poised to stand by his gambit, claiming he is out to protect both crypto users and issuers and investors. And in written testimony ahead of the Senate Banking Committee hearing, Gensler stuck to a consistent theme, lying. No, no, no, no, no. He's reiterating that nearly all transaction qualifies as an investment contract, subject to US securities laws. As I previously said, without prejudicing any one token, the vast majority of tokens likely meet the test. Given that most tokens are subject to the securities laws, it follows that most intermediaries have to comply with securities laws as well, hiding behind vague terminology like most and a vast majority. So, and then also likely meet. So he's staying away from anything where he could point to and say, hey, you, you issued us, you know, a clear -cut yes or no. No, he's doing the opposite. He's being vague. He's being obtuse. He's being gray and murky and swirly. And it's all smoke and mirrors, as they say. Likely, you know, likely meet. It's most crypto tokens, most intermediaries. All right. Keep scrolling here. Is he blinking back? Is that pollen? That's just pollen, right? Is that pollen? It's something. Maybe, maybe it's like the, the, the final act of a Pixar movie, you know, maybe, maybe that's maybe he's looking at DZ's portfolio. He's looking at the ape coin. He's just looking at another security, whatever it is, he's looking at it. He's so I actually watched like, you know, 40 some minutes of the oversight hearing this morning. And I mean, he's just like a broken record. Like, you know, crypto is just rife with, blah, it's just so terrible. It's non -compliant. You know, everything's a security. Like, I like really, I made a video, like, ironically, like, you don't even need to watch this video because we know what he's going to say. And then I watched it anyway. And he said everything I thought he was going to say. And it's so funny because you can obviously see, like, obviously the Democrats give him like the soft, the softball answers and agree with everything he says, and then the Republicans push back. And no matter what hearing it is, it's just such a clear divide on who's on his side, who's already like prepared the questions they're going to talk to, you know, and then the other side is clearly like, you're not helping anyone, you're not protecting investors, like you're saying one thing and doing another just classic, classic Gary. And I'm so sick of talking about him. Classic Gary is like an 80s sitcom character, the rascal neighbor kid that's like next door. And guys, I have a new strategy with the combatants against crypto. I'm gonna say their name one time, might be the last time you ever hear me say their name. I'm talking about Elizabeth Warren's tactics and the tactics used by people like her. There's going to be a new strategy we're all going to employ together, and it's going to help out the crypto industry. Thank Ryan Selkis for this one, giving me that idea. All right, let's talk about the wide ranging non -compliance here. This is what he's saying is the main issue with crypto. He also raised concern about non -compliance in the industry, which he termed, guys, it's wide ranging. Given this industry's wide ranging non -compliance with the securities laws, it's not surprising that we've seen so many problems in these markets. Gensler will be grilled about recent enforcement actions by the commission, which according to many observers have been nothing short of a witch hunt and an overreach of their mandate. I think we would all be in agreeance with that, right? Well, let's go from the SEC to the CFTC. CFTC commissioner plans to modernize investor protection with technology, with technology to minimize the danger. I'm sorry, God, God, that was terrible. That was my JTTI impression. That was top notch. It was an okay song, but I butchered it. All right, to minimize damages caused by financial fraud, Romero proposed the formation of the national financial fraud registry, a centralized record of all crimes and fines related to financial fraud. Isn't there like a website that does that already? I feel like we don't need to create more committees. And what was the word that they use here? We don't need a registry. To me, that just seems a little big brother ask. How about we just have a fun website where, you know, let's just detail all the things. We have the entire US debt. We have the GDP up. We have all these websites. They have all this information up. So why couldn't we do it with just companies that have been fined by the federal government and state governments are then one that has everything combined there. That's genius. Genius. All right. You know what? They're going to do it. They would. That's the thing is that they probably would. That's hilarious. All right. A spearheading this effort to amp up investor protections and guard rails. Romero appointed technology experts in FinTech, AI, crypto, blockchain, and cybersecurity to their advisory committee. Let's see here. We have Christy Goldsmith. Romero's the chairperson there. The commissioner revealed that the TAC experts are tasked with identifying ways to instill KYC, which stands for know your customer and AML processes, which stand for anti money laundering and to defy in crypto invest in avenues. We're also tasked with promoting responsible AI development because we can have those dark, dark AI agents, you know, giving us just answers that, you know, that they get access to, the government gets access to, the tech companies get access to those answers. Why can't we ask the crazy questions? Uh, you ever see some of those crazy prompts? I'm actually kind of for a little bit. We don't, we don't need a first grader to be able to, I don't even want to say them out loud. There's some dark prompts where you can find out ways to do a lot of harmful things that doesn't surprise me at all. I remember when chat GBT first came out, there was like this really long prompt where it would give you like chat GBT's answer. And then it would, it was like some name like Kevin Dan. Yeah. And it was, it would give you like the, the far right wing sort of answer. It was hilarious, but I don't, well, where is that prompt? Someone sent it to me, please. Well, yeah, they, they fix a lot of it, but yeah, we don't want someone to say, what's the most harm I can create on humanity with household chemicals. And then all of a sudden, you know, like mustard gas and you know, the, you know, we don't want anarchy cookbook version of chat, TPT on steroids. Yeah. Let's, let's, let's reel it in here. It's really didn't reel it in. Yeah. This basement talk, right? Yeah. Sorry, Drew. All right. Investigations have shifted away from primarily backtracking trade activities to monitoring social media platforms, such as X Reddit and Facebook. However, they also recommend the use of tools to aid such investigations. The registry would help investors do background checks for any investigations or fines for fraud imposed on the companies. Yeah. I just, I just don't want a whole agency. I don't want a whole registry. I don't want a whole entity of government spun up for this. Just make a little website. It's not that hard. We don't have to have a overseers and, you know, people in trench coats and briefcases knocking on your door in the middle of the night.

A highlight from Farcaster Is Migrating To OP Mainnet
"Welcome to your Ethereum news roundup. Here is your latest for Tuesday, August 22nd, 2023. Farcaster announces plans to migrate to opmainnet, Balancer discloses a critical vulnerability, Starkware open sources its Starkprover, and RISC0 introduces its Zeth ZK EVM. All this and more starts right now. Farcaster, a decentralized social media platform, announces plans to migrate its identity and storage contracts to opmainnet. The Web3 social platform currently uses Ethereum mainnet for its identity system. Farcaster stores most of its data off -chain in specialized servers called Farcaster Hubs. Farcaster also said it plans to roll out its platform for all users after the migration. The platform is currently invite -only. Dan Romero, the founder of Farcaster, highlighted the existing ecosystem of apps on the OP stack, including Zora, Base, and Ethereum Attestation Service, as a reason for the transition. Farcaster has over 15 ,000 registered users. Balancer disclosed a critical vulnerability that impacts certain V2 pools on Ethereum mainnet, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche, Gnosis, Phantom, and Polygon ZK EVM. The DEX is urging users to promptly withdraw their positions from the affected pools. Balancer also executed emergency mitigation measures safeguarding 80 % of the affected funds. Pendle Finance noted that three of its own pools are impacted by the Balancer mitigation measures. The remaining funds that remain at risk account for 4 % of Balancer's total value locked. The vulnerability has not yet been exploited at the time of recording. Balancer still recommends users with funds in the mitigated pools to migrate their positions to safe pools or withdraw their assets altogether. Users can connect their wallet to Balancer to check if their position is impacted. Starkware announced that it will open source the codebase for its Stark Prover, which has also been renamed to the Stone Prover. The Prover compresses transactions and generates proofs for Cairo programs. The Prover has been active since June of 2020, proving transactions for apps like ImmutableX and Sorare. The code will be introduced during StarkNet Summit on August 31st. The release aims to promote transparency and contribute to scaling Ethereum. Developers can use the Stone Prover to generate proofs, build new apps, and further innovate. Starkware also plans to open source its infrastructure for the StarkNet stack. Blockchain infrastructure provider RISC -0 introduced Zeth, a new open source solution for generating ZK proofs of EVM and Ethereum blocks. RISC -0 coins Zeth as a Type -0 ZK EVM, placing its own pin on Vitalik's chart of ZK EVM types. According to RISC -0, Type -0 has all the benefits of Type -1 but without slow proof generation. The Prover is built on the RISC -0 ZK -VM in Rust and uses the Bonsai ZK coprocessor. Zeth can be used to proof signatures, account states, block construction, and EVM opcodes. The Prover verifies the validity of Ethereum blocks without relying on validators or sync committees and handles block construction steps within the ZK -VM. And lastly, Aave v3 is now live on Base, allowing users to borrow ETH, USDC, and CB ETH against Wrapped Ether Collateral. Users can currently borrow USDC at a 1 .3 % variable APY. Base, an OP Stacked Chain by Coinbase, holds over $238 million in total value locked, making it the 5th largest rollup by TVL. Base is also leading all rollups in addition to Ethereum mainnet by the number of transactions. This has been a roundup of today's top news stories in Ethereum.

The Breakdown
A highlight from Tornado Cash Sanctions Upheld In Court
"Welcome back to The Breakdown with me, N .L .W. It's a daily podcast on macro, Bitcoin and the big picture power shifts remaking our world. What's going on, guys? It is Saturday, August 19th, and that means it's time for the weekly recap. Before we get into that, however, if you are enjoying The Breakdown, please go subscribe to it. Give it a rating, give it a review, or if you want to dive deeper into the conversation, come join us on the Breakers Discord. You can find a link in the show notes or go to bit .ly slash breakdown pod. Now, today we are catching up on a ton of legal updates that have happened this week. This continues to be the big theme of this bear market is legal cleanup, legal proceedings, legal blah, blah, blah, which unfortunately is just sort of part of the phase that we have to get through before we get to the exciting stuff like, you know, usage and excitement and whatever, anything that isn't just legal stuff. But here we are. However, I want to start with something that is a little bit more on the market structure side, given the dump that we had on Thursday. So in the middle of the week, the block started reporting that yet another crypto market maker was pulling back. Apparently, longtime crypto market maker GSR has been scaling down operations during the bear market. Now, this is a firm that has been active in crypto order books since 2013. They had already conducted two rounds of layoffs and appeared to have also lost multiple executives and department heads. The firm's chief financial officer, Jonathan Hu, has been the highest profile departure. He joined the firm in 2021 and helped build out the company's finance department. Anonymous sources speaking with the block criticized the firm for expanding too rapidly during the height of the bull market. GSR brought on scores of traditional financial professionals to help expand the firm. In 2020, the firm had just 25 employees, but the number went up to more than 300 at its peak. One source said, quote, The executive team is mostly friends, and I think it threw off a lot of the momentum GSR built in the previous cycle. They hired a lot of corporate Wall Street executives that came in at the top with the bull market, which ended up costing the firm dearly. Another source said, quote, Some of the leadership is out of touch with true crypto. Now, a spokesperson for GSR said, Our business operations and strategy have evolved naturally to respond to changing market conditions, and there has been no restructuring. GSR president Rich Rosenblum took this even farther. On Wednesday, he wrote, Regarding the block's reporting yesterday, we worked with the reporter in good faith, but it's clear the story was always intended to be a negative one regardless of the facts. Here is some additional color on GSR. GSR's business is strong. We have navigated three volatile bear markets successfully without raising outside capital. The firm has a solid balance sheet. We continue to be profitable and increase our market share regardless of market conditions. The article tries to suggest that departures over 18 months are more than bear market norms. We've had many personnel changes over the last decade, but juxtaposing it alongside strategy changes in a bear market to write a sensational piece is irresponsible. We aren't going anywhere, and we continue to be very bullish. We are one of the longest operating and one of the best funded companies in the space. We stand stronger and better positioned now than at any other point in our history. Obviously, this has gotten very quickly into a he -said -she -said, but mostly why it's worth paying attention to, at least with a little bit of side -eye, is what Noelle Acheson wrote, More market -maker scalebacks is not great for crypto market liquidity, which is already low. With that, though, let's move into the legal stuff. First, a group of investors and developers have lost a lawsuit which challenged the legality of the tornado cash sanctions. The litigation, which was funded by Coinbase, claimed that the US Treasury had exceeded its authority in dealing with tornado cash using sanctions law. In coming to their decision in a district court in Texas, the judge found that tornado cash itself was sufficiently coherent in operation to be considered an entity capable of being sanctioned. The Treasury Department can only sanction entities such as individuals, companies, or unincorporated associations. The judge found that the Treasury had identified an entity when it designated tornado cash as including the developers and the DAO which governed the operation of the mixer. The judge wrote that, The DAO is an entity unto itself that, through its voting members, has demonstrated an agreement to a common purpose. As the government notes, the structure is not unlike that of stockholders of a corporation who may not intend to vote in a shareholder meeting without this affecting the structure of the entity. They ultimately found that adding tornado cash to the sanctions list was not plainly inconsistent with its regulations. The judge also rejected the argument that there was no property which could be the subject of sanctions. Litigants claimed that the tornado cash entity, whatever that constituted, does not have property rights in the smart contracts identified by the Treasury. Sanctions can only prohibit US citizens from transacting with sanctioned entities in relation to property, so their use to prohibit interacting with a smart contract was a novel application of the law. The litigants also made an argument that the sanctions violated First Amendment rights to free speech. The tornado cash sanctions were somewhat unique in that they prohibited US citizens from transacting in a privacy -protected manner. The Treasury is not allowed to sanction US individuals, so there was an argument that prohibiting them from using tornado cash was unconstitutional. Now, the tornado cash sanctions drew widespread criticism from the industry when they were put in place last August. The measure was taken ostensibly to deal with North Korean hacking group Lazarus. However, critics said the sanctions were too much of an impingement on privacy and crypto. Coin Center have filed their own legal challenge to the sanctions which is yet to be heard. Next up, the SEC has been allowed to move forward with an appeal in the Ripple case. The regulator is attempting to appeal the parts of the case which were decided against it. Namely, that the programmatic sales of XRP tokens and distributions to employees and contractors were not to be considered the sale of securities. The SEC requested leave to file a motion to appeal last week, to which Ripple objected, claiming that The judge has now granted this leave to file the motion. Once filed, the court can either accept or reject the SEC's reasoning to appeal the decision. If successful, the appellate court would also need to agree to hear the case and then determine whether the SEC is successful in their appeal. Bill Hughes tried to sum up some of this extreme legal complexity saying, The court has not granted leave to appeal. It granted leave to file a motion for leave to appeal. The court just decided, yeah, we can deal with this issue. Again, guys, this is the kind of minutiae that we're dealing with right now. Ultimately, it's important, but I don't think any of us will be sad for the days when we get to focus on other things. Speaking of other things, the Federal Reserve has brought an enforcement action against Farmington State Bank, which used to be known as Moonstone Bank. Moonstone was the tiny bank in rural Washington which accepted an $11 .5 million investment from Alameda Research in March of 2022. The thing that made that investment notable and weird was that it was more than double the bank's entire net worth at the time. Moonstone also had ties to Deltech Bank Executives, which is the Bahamas bank that notoriously dealt with stablecoin issuer Tether as a customer. Moonstone was one of the smallest federally chartered banks in the country. Indeed, last year photos circulated of its headquarters, which appeared to be a farm shed with a pickup truck parked out in front. In January, the microbank announced that it would be stepping away from plans to offer banking services to digital asset and cannabis companies. But, apparently unimpressed with this concession, the Fed has now ordered the bank to wind down in a manner that protects the bank's depositors and the deposit insurance fund. Farmington has also been prohibited from distributing any dividends or assets without approval from regulators. Caitlin Long writes, Wow, Moonstone Bank, aka Farmington Bank, is liquidating after the Fed issued a cease and buy a small existing bank and chain business plan, currently underway by crypto or crypto -adjacent companies. Bitcoin or TBH joked, Both residents of Farmington are quite concerned about this turn of events. Caitlin Long again responded and said, That's what happens with charter strips. Companies search for tiny banks, acquire them, and change the entire business plan thereby skirting all the requirements of starting a De Novo bank. Fed policy favored charter strips by holding them to a far, far lower standard than De Novo's. Speaking of Alameda and FTX, FTX and Genesys have reached an agreement on lending arrangements between the two firms and the disposal of collateral. Genesys will pay $175 million to Alameda Research to settle their claims. Genesys lawyers wrote in a court filing that, The settlement will, among other things, significantly smooth the path to confirmation of the Genesys debtors' Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, as well as eliminating the risks, expenses, and uncertainty associated with protracted litigation among the FTX debtors. FTX had originally filed the claim for $4 billion in May, Genesys counterclaims stating that they had $175 million stuck on FTX after it collapsed. In other words, both firms had outstanding loans with each other at the time of their respective bankruptcies. Genesys interim CEO Darar Aslim said, The terms of the settlement agreement provide significant and near -term benefits to the Genesys debtors and their creditors, in contrast to the uncertainty and expense of fulsome litigation of the FTX claims and Genesys claims. This settlement will extinguish all claims between the firms, which is potentially problematic given that they are significantly less than FTX had originally claimed from Genesys. Adam Cochrane wrote, Barry paid $175 million on a $4 billion debt position, and it means that Genesys claims from FTX are settled and can't go back to DCG and Grayscale? This is a damn good deal for DCG but horrible deal for FTX creditors. And indeed, FTX creditors are not happy. At a FTX creditor on Twitter says, FTX asked court to settle Genesys dispute for a $175 million Genesis claim, the release of a $175 million customer claim and near -worthless Alameda claims. Down from first $3 .9 billion to $2 billion asserted, this must be the worst deal to date, especially in the light of the new DCG -Genesis -DOJ investigation. Genesys claims are currently worth more than FTX's even as Genesys lender balances are inflated by the interest they earn from lending, among others, to Alameda. Genesys was repaid by Alameda quote -unquote with billions of FTX customer funds in 2022. Coins they hold may be directly traced to FTX customer deposits. We expect the UCC to object to this quote -unquote deal. Now, there is, of course, a different interpretation than just Barry negotiating a great deal. Napgener tweets, Again, my timeline is way off here. Everyone is raging at the FTX estate. I mean, basically, FTX is not going to settle for that little unless Genesys is truly cooked. Barry Silbert is in big trouble. Now, obviously, we don't know the answer to that, but it certainly doesn't look good and feels like a pretty reasonable open question. Lastly, today, we'll end on a little bit of a positive note. Coinbase had been granted approval to offer crypto futures to U .S. customers. Nearly two years after applying, the National Futures Association granted a license to Coinbase, which will now be authorized to operate CFTC -regulated futures markets. Coinbase joins the CME and the recently approved CBOE in offering the products legally onshore. Andrew Sears, the CEO of Coinbase Financial Markets, said, Offering U .S. investors access to secure and regulated crypto futures is key to unlocking growth and enabling broader participation in the crypto economy. CFTC Commissioner Christy Goldsmith -Romero said, I have been vocal about the benefits of bringing appropriate crypto activities into the regulated space in order to protect customers but in a way that supports oversight, accountability, transparency and risk management. JP Morgan analyst said the license will open up new revenue opportunities and demonstrated, quote, the staying power of crypto markets in the U .S. They estimated that futures trading could represent hundreds of millions in new business to Coinbase. Coinbase product executive Greg Tussar said, We believe this is a watershed moment to be able to bring regulated crypto products to U .S. customers. Where regulations are clear and sensible, we will work with regulators to receive the authorizations needed to offer products that align with our purpose of using crypto to update the financial system to advance economic freedom and opportunity. Congrats to Coinbase on that license. And thank you to them for giving me something to close the weekly recap on that isn't just a legal decision. Anyways, guys, hope you are having a great late summer weekend. Enjoy it. Soak it in. I know for many of you, summer is the best. For me, it's always all about fall. So with that, I leave you to go grab some old painting from a goodwill so that I can do the ghost painting trend on TikTok with my family this weekend. Until next time, be safe and take care of each other. Peace.

"And I would say there's not one advertiser, I'm sure there are others that I haven't talked to, that hasn't said that's okay. That's what you guys, The Guardian, U.S., is about that your integrity, that's why we love being with you. So we don't shy away from it. So that's number one. I think number two is and now we're going to get to the programmatic and verification firms. It's another reason why we like selling and working with advertisers directly. Because there's an opportunity to have a conversation about brand safety and there's an understanding that that happens. And so it's not just a click of the box. If you're automating. So there's a really true understanding of what's happening contextually in the environment. Well, we'll swing into the programmatic realm now. I want to dig a little bit more into the number breakdowns too and how significant advertising is in the U.S. or North America now. So when I wrote a story about the British invasion of UK publishers into the U.S., it was an update on how that process has been going. But one of the stats that your colleague Steve had shared at the time was that almost half of the readership from The Guardian is based in the U.S. or North America, but it's only about 15% of revenue right now comes from North America. And so from an advertising standpoint, I know that there's, again, talked about issues around programmatic revenue and how troubled that's been for news publishers holistically. But when you're looking at the breakdown between direct and programmatic in the advertising revenue space for North America, what's the kind of breakdown look like now? And as direct grows, year over year, what are you hoping that breakdown will end up looking like in the coming year? It's been sort of the breakdown of our revenue has been traditionally more skewed toward programmatic.

"But a little known fact is that we've been around for 200 years in the UK, which puts us roughly starting at around 1820. And soccer was actually, they call it football over there. Actually, they call it football everywhere except the U.S.. Was actually formalized as an actual gain in Britain in Manchester. And that was done in the 1860s. So we literally have been covering the start of soccer in its formal way since it's inception. So we have a legacy, we have legacy and then because of that, we've been covering every single year since the World Cup started. So we have a right basically to cover this. We also have a live blog the World Cup where we're covering the matches literally step by step game by game. So it's very big for us. The Women's World Cup is going to be in New Zealand and Australia. That's virtually our backyard because we publish not only in the UK, not only in the U.S., but our third country is Australia. So we'll have reporters down there doing behind the scenes. On the game coverage, so we're really excited about the world Women's World Cup as well. Yeah, and so a couple of things to dig in from there with the World Cup, I think I had had the athletics head of revenue on the podcast. Since they're just adding advertising in and even though their sports endemic said Tomic over there was saying it was difficult really to break their way into some of these legacy sporting tent poles because advertisers, you know, in some cases have been planning for a couple of years out. And so I'm sure the legacy is definitely a strength. They're having those kind of return customers. I guess thinking about return spending right now, right? You've been in the U.S. for ten years, but you've been covering football for a 150 years at this point, trying to do the math quickly in my head 200 years. How has the repeat business been given the economic impact that has been affecting advertising budgets, especially big or larger direct advertising campaigns? I feel like there's been a lot of pullback on some of those one budgets, but two being able to plan so far in advance. Have you noticed any issues with getting some of the partners either signed on or spending as much as they would in previous years in this current economic climate? Yeah, absolutely. I think for I'll talk about the World Cup first because again, I've been here for a year, the men's World Cup was the first time that I'm aware of in the U.S. that we actually went to market with sponsorships opportunity and we were successful. We had one exclusive partner for that. And that got me excited about the Women's World Cup. And I think you mentioned Seth. I think he's absolutely right. You know, trying to break in to these sort of budgets because they are planned. So far behind or so far ahead of time, I know this because I covered World Cup and sold it while I was at Univision and at NBC telemundo, who has the rights now. So I know very well how far in advance they are planned.

"We have huge engagement, so those are the type of things that we can go to market that are very unique and very innovative and when we talk to companies about this, they can see themselves being aligned with this kind of mental agility, strategic strategic thinking, sort of sport. And that's for some companies that's the messaging that they want to be in. So that's one example, another example in terms of evergreen is that we have an ongoing editorial series called green light. And the green light series explores explores the role of global corporations and the role they need to take in solving the climate crisis. And so that's an ongoing series that we have here. And again, we're going to market with sponsorships for that particular client series. I think the third way that we're kind of continuing this and I know we're going to talk about the programmatic side of things and kind of breaking away from just use is that, as I mentioned before, we do a lot of branded content. So this is original content that's created by our what we call our G labs team. And really just trying to align with an advertiser's brand themes. And so we've had a lot of success here working with people like the Ford foundation, MailChimp, I forgot to mention that we also B2B is another big category for us. And AWS, Amazon's AWS. So those are, I would love to talk more about the Women's World Cup as well. That's going to be a big focus of ours. And that will be in July. And so we're really excited about that. So kind of like these signature tentpole things. I mentioned World Cup because The Guardian, a lot of people wouldn't think about the World Cup or soccer with The Guardian.

"romero" Discussed on Cape Up with Jonathan Capehart
"Go further into that. Absolutely. So hip hop was created in the south Bronx. 1973, we're talking about communities of color. African American communities, but also this wide diversity of black communities. We see a lot of influence coming up in the Caribbean. And a lot of that influence is taking European and British style and taking it up into New York City. We see Puerto Rican influence. All of these people are coming together. And this is a time in New York City where they are facing poverty. They're facing unemployment. They're facing urban redlining. All of New York has kind of suffering in the 1970s, but community of color are especially feeling this. White flight is taking place and then, of course, we have the crack pandemic coming on in the 1980s. A lot of things are happening. But these young kids are turning all of this, all those situations that are living with fueling it into their art, whether they're wrapping, whether they're dancing, whether it's aerosol art, communicating visually. And so rap music has always been about kind of documenting what's happening at the moment. And the clothes reflect that as well. So it's the creativity of black and brown communities who mainstream society is doing their best at this time. Some might argue still doing their best to make them seem invisible. So through their style through their art, they're making themselves visible. Elena's nameplate belt is an amazing example of that. Literally putting your name in metal letters is a way to declare your presence and your visibility. You know, and that gets to a quote that Sasha Jenkins says in the LA times. This was back in 2018, 2018 in Sasha Jenkins directed the 2015 hip hop fashion doctor documentary fresh dress and Sasha says talking about, you know, just the placement of the hip hop community and why bastion was so big as Sasha says, because when you don't have much ownership over where you can land in society, your financial situation, your educational situation, the one thing you can control is the way you look. And Elena, I would love for you to take that ball and run with it because the roots of hip hop fashion is in wearing your quote Sunday best. Talk about that and explain what Sunday best means. I actually was spewed in that Satya Jenkins. You know, we're talking about black and brown youth from working class backgrounds who have historically been marginalized who have been othered. And fashion is like the music is the sound board to be seen. And this is where expressions of individuality come out and custom fashions and accessories, including the brass bubble name bolts where you're seeing things put their names, their horrible, the crew, the block that they belong to. Same with jewelry where you see a hoop earrings with names, nameplate chains, spray painted aerosol, denim jackets with not only the characters that they idolize, but their image and likeness. So a lot of it is about being noticed. This idea of Sunday best, you know, or being so fresh and so clean, the idea of being made sure to be respected and in many ways the way we dress is how people identify what tribe we belong to. And if we're accepted in one particular space or another, you know, there's also a quote from you in that LA times story where you say fashion was a way to showcase your aspirations or your abilities to make it or make it out. Talk more about that. Sure. So, you know, growing up many of us watch shows like Robin Leach's lifestyle, the rich and famous. That was our inside look as to what looked like. And we were not at the reflection of the other side of that broadcast. When the hip hop celebrity now becomes mainstream, we are now seeing that we can reach attainable heights that had never been seen before in terms of travel in terms of wealth in terms of notoriety and exposure. Bash just one indicator of that success. And so you know, Elizabeth, at the time, you know, when the baggy jeans and the Timberlands and the hoop earrings and everything were considered by mainstream society as for them. That's over there. And they weren't always deemed high fashion when worn by us. What are your thoughts on the cultural appropriation of hip hop fashion? Because it is no longer other. It is fashion. Absolutely. We see the influence of hip hop of streetwear on every single runway when we look at fashion week. In terms of cultural appropriation, what's so fascinating about hip hop fashion is that, of course, we have a very talented designers who are creating new new designs, cross colors, Carl and I, April walker, 5000 flavors dapper Dan. But so many of the kids started off and continued throughout the 50 years to buy clothing available in the mainstream and style it and wear it in a way that made it special. So they're taking the same clothes that every other teenager in America has access to. But they're putting it on their bodies. The fact that it's a black or brown body makes a huge difference in how it's perceived. But there are also styling it oversized or accessorizing it in certain ways that are unique to their communities and to hip hop culture. And I'll also add that this did not look the same in New York as it looked in Atlanta as it looked Detroit as it looked in LA. We have so many kind of different hip hop styles. The transition from hip hop to high fashion, you know, at first it was just high end designers looking at kind of these most significant tropes. We have a piece in the exhibition that is a dookie chain designed by Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel from 1991. So incredibly early for a company like Chanel to be taking inspiration from hip hop. What we don't see in that time are designers like April walker across colors in the magazines. Being recognized by the mainstream fashion industry. So appropriating hip hop style is I mean, it really started to take off in the 1990s when hip hop became mainstream. When hip hop was popular culture, especially for youth. And any artist, any designer, they want as wide an audience as possible. White teenagers were buying hip hop albums as much or more than teenagers of color. What's important to us for Elena and I is that we shall wear these trends came from. We want to honor the designers, the kids, all of this creative energy that are not mostly not exclusively black and brown people, they gave this style to America and now it's American style. And so it's not that we don't, you know, there's not any designer who wants to limit the people buying their things. But we really want to make sure we pay tribute to who created it. Right, right. And you know, I'm just also the other thing among the many things you donated to the exhibition, Elena, is your daughter's Turquoise Reebok, freestyle, sneakers, the 54 11s because that was the price, including tax. Of the sneakers. Yeah. I want you to pick up on sneakers create go ahead. Yeah, so that was one of the early that was intentionally designed for women, women that were into aerobics at that time and dance. That sneaker has been in existence and continues to be relaunched. And so the sneakers that we have in the exhibition are iridescent Turquoise sneakers. And of course, the slang terminology of 54 lesbians really comes from the price tag of $54 and 11 cents, the ultimate price tab after New York sales tax and shop and buy those sneakers and stores like VIN, New York City. Wow. I have not heard that store's name in, I don't know how long, but I can see I can see the sign above the store. I want you to pick up Elena on what Elizabeth was talking about in terms of. Main quote unquote, mainstream, high end fashion houses, appropriating hip hop style, but talk about the significance of Sean cones and what happened in 2004. Why was that a watershed? What was that watershed moment? And why was it a watershed moment?

Why Doesn't California Build Big Dams Any More?
"Been talking about how most of our water comes from a system of dams and reservoirs set up to capture the states precipitation so one logical solution here is more dams right. Not so fast says jay lund a professor of civil and environmental engineering at uc davis story. I tell people is if you were the first engineer in california and you were going to build the first reservoir where would you put it. You had put it the cheapest place that gives you the most water. Where would you put the reservoir the next best place. We've done this fifteen hundred times. What do we have left. Expensive places that don't give you much water. He says with fifteen hundred dams in the state all the good damn spots are taken heck. Even a lot of the bad spots are taken but that doesn't mean that there aren't smart things we can do with our reservoirs as david romero takes it from here with four big ideas so the first big idea has to do with managing those fifteen hundred reservoirs differently. I learned how lake mendocino along the russian river. That's where i met. Nick mala savage in the middle of the mostly dry lake bed. He helps manage the lake for the us army corps of engineers in two thousand nineteen. The water was about forty feet over our heads. He says lake mendocino could go dry by the end of the summer mar lake levels here at lake. Mendocino are the lowest they've ever been for this time in the year even though this lake is nearly dry it's on the leading edge of science around reservoir management in the past. Water was let out of the reservoir whether or not storms were in the forecast. They wanted to make room for more water. They expected would come but because of climate change. Those storms are becoming less frequent malice. Savage is helping pilot a new approach at lake. Mendocino conserve wait until a major rainstorm is coming and then let water out of the reservoir. It's called forecast informed reservoir operations. We can sit on this water. We can continue to watch the forecast and then you see that big boomer of a storm conham then you can make the decision. Hey the sun's still shining. We need to put water into the river. Generate that airspace for the next storm. And we're good

Secure Our Future by Healing the Soil
"Arable land needs a drastic investment in farming practices that reintroduced carbon into the soil and help it retain that carbon for a long time. We call that regenerative agriculture. So how do we do that. Well this is a podcast about the future but to answer that question we i have to go back to the past. I come from an indigenous community and we've been in the same place for thousands of years like if you're in a place for very very very long time having a system that doesn't regenerate itself is not even an option a day. Romero brioni is director of native agriculture and food systems at the first nations development institute and a member of the co- chidi and kiowa nations indigenous. People have been using regenerative practices for thousands of years but now methods like no till farming and using cover crops to protect the soil from the sun are growing more popular so is planting diverse ecosystems together instead of using chemical fertilizers and pesticides. We can't talk about regenerative agriculture. If we don't about the alteration of land ways we can't talk about regenerative systems if we don't talk about the destruction of the salmon who like spent generations and generations and generations of their nationhood building the fertility of the soil in places like california. So what do salmon have to do with soil. Well you've heard about. The salmon runs in the pacific northwest when salmon swim upstream to spawn. They carry inland all the nutrients from the fish and krill. The aided see when they die. Their bodies nourished the soil. America's redwoods rely on the salmon.

The Alice Todd Child Abuse Case
"The minute forty seven year old. Tina chevelle walked into the hospital with a two year old child. Employees were suspicious. The toddler was badly bruised and the mother seemed to dodge every question lobbed at her all shabas told the staff was that her child needed medical care but when she was asked to produce documentation she changed her story she clarified that she was the adoptive parent not the biological mother. The case grew even stranger when chavez claimed she couldn't provide any proof she had legally adopted the child either. There was no longer any question. Something unusual was definitely going on. The woman's story was inconsistent and concerning the hospital called the police and notified child protective services. Cps determined that because chavez couldn't prove she had legal custody a relative should take care of the child while police looked into the matter with that the investigation into tina. Chevy's began shabbat. Lived in thomas phil north carolina with her husband vison zeo mendoza romero both in claimed to have custody of the child but neither of them had the paperwork to prove it. The police started to suspect they'd stumbled upon a case of illegal adoption. The phenomenon is more common than the average person might expect. Adoption is a practice as old as civilization itself. But for most of its history. The institution was specifically designed to meet the needs of the parents rather than the children. It wasn't until the mid eighteen hundreds when people in power started to reconsider the practice treating children like ponds and adult games in eighteen fifty one massachusetts past the adoption of children act the first law that codified modern adoption essentially. The state was empowered to determine whether the arrangement with the parent was beneficial to the child before this legislation. That question was largely deemed irrelevant. Nowadays adoption is a complicated legal process. And it's that way by design. If there no neutral party involved people could easily trade their children for money or other goods there would be no safeguards guaranteeing that the children grow up in healthy environments. So when the police in thomas ville north carolina opened their investigation on tina chavez. They had one concern on their minds whether their arrangement was good for the toddler or if it was even legal at all

When i heard her say that george said no one really cares about his legacy and and that had a real impact on me during that interview also still does to think that someone who was so talented and who did so much for the genre as well as for those of us that were spiring filmmakers for him to think that no one cared just just. It just hurts. I dunno and i'm so thankful that mrs romero's out there Keeping his legacy alive and it's and it's alive not only through the foundation. It's alive through every one of us that have been influenced by him in some way or another. You know even when you have people like tom. Savini out there still working and doing things and you see interviews with all the different actors and actresses that have been in his movies. It's just you know it's one of those things where it's so easy to forget. The past is so easy for us to discard history. And it's one of those things that just if there's something that really kind of just irks me that Because history is the foundation of the future and jorge romero in this case as a filmmaker as a contributor to the harsh. Honora is a major part of that foundation. And i've been fortunate enough for most of my life to have him making movies. The only movie that he made before i was born was nine living dead. That was barely before i was born. So have this man making these movies in my lifetime. I feel very honored. Just as i'm honored to have had. This is romero on the program as well.

I survive all day and night and day is my i think my favorite you know survival some very close and and night stole rocks it so yeah and then your least your least favorite. I always get in trouble. You're not gonna get in trouble here. Because i want people. I just want people understand that you know movies are subjective and i love this answer because i think it's so refreshing. That's okay that's that's all good. We're all friends ear. Listen i you know about four or five months. My new boyfriend sys to be well. I think you ought to see my movies. So i went okay so he procured all the films and it took him a couple of weeks but finally he had them all and we sat down on the couch. And how lucky was. I too have a romero film festival with maestro right next to me and so we see the movies and he's you know seemingly interested in my opinion and obviously knowing that i'm not you know demographic But you know. And then when i told him that i didn't love dawn he just looked at me like you know. You're the only person on the planet who doesn't like this film. And i'm like i'm sorry george but it kinda find it. It's kinda cheesy. Ah okay well yeah right. You're the only one. So i know that i'm in the definite minority. I love that answer. I love that you told him that. That is so great and the fact that he was just like. Wow you know you're the you're the one. Which is your girlfriend. i i love that. That's when i saw that mike. Oh this is great. I love that you know. His favorite movie was martin. Yes so i i love martin to i mean martin is so interesting and so. That's another thing that i got out of. This film festival was that i realized that this is no ordinary horror guy. I mean it was obvious to me that it was so layered. It was both cerebral and visceral. So if you wanna just to get the gore hits and and the you know get all of that Sort of excitement you you were able to but if you also were looking for you know the more substantial part of the film you were also satisfied because it was all there you know. Yeah i know it since. I think that's for me. When i saw day i didn't i i mean i was. I was young. When i saw it and i was like. Oh okay good. And i didn't like it and i was like why don't i like this movie. And then i kind of went away for a couple of years and then came back and wash that. Mike wow this move is a lot better than i thought it was a now. It's now a mike. I whenever it's on mike on there but it was my first. My first response was like yeah now now now mike. Oh i loved well. Everybody wanted him to make dawn over and over and over and over again. you know. So he'd say listen. I made dawn. I'm not gonna make it again. So that's it. And when i saw a day i saw bob was the best zombie ever and i just i found him fascinating I just saw day. It's dark it's dark. it's it's it's good. I i much prefer it to jong but like i said well i was i was. I was thrilled when i was watching the last season of stranger things and they did a whole reference today. The kids sneak into the movie theater. In dave dead's playing on my perfect like they're you know you know i love lori. Carville she's She's a wonderful character. And i just yeah just just a good movie so speaking of zombie series so the word is out. The twilight of the dead is is There's a script for it now. I remember way back. When when i was a young lad in film school back in nineteen ninety somewhere in there i remember hearing about this mysterious twilight of the film and that it was going to be the at that time the fourth and final zombie movie and then it nothing happened and then land came out later much later but So regarding twilight. It's it's something that's it's going to happen right. I mean the the wheels are turning on the site. I have to say i don't know i want something to happen but i have to also be extremely careful that it's done done right It's done with the the right team. i am prepared to keep it in the drawer forever. If if i don't get what i want you know in a sense because listen ideally it would be obviously great if it was george romero who directed this last of the chapters. Unfortunately for us all that can't happen so so you know it's it's a difficult position for me because i needed to be absolutely wonderful but at the end also i need the director to fly the way he or she will So it's it's a difficult task to to get somebody to direct this film.

There is participation by plenty more investors, of course, including Mark Merrill, one of the two founders of Riot games, this follows two other funny raises of three and five million. So in Mark Gratz of the race, first of all, what are the plans for this capital? Yeah, thank you Mitch. So as you said we raised 9 million dollars beatcraft is one of our previous investors are still leading gaming Esports v c. B c is a new VC which comes from the sport world and a lot of touchpoints around gaming and then other investors are wpp the biggest advertising group in the world, which is also like in the existing investor and Sony Innovation fund, you know, Sony is one of the biggest gaming groups in the world and the owner of PlayStation.

I'm a Cardinals fan so we'll let the dog So invested things slide, I guess but grats on all the different people who came together you mentioned before we started recording you were in the position that every founder kind of hopes. They find themselves in which is we have a few people. We have a different options for Capital so we can pick the people that make the most strategic sense for us going forward. What did you find from the mobile the different investors? What were you looking for? Especially as guiding parts of the company to push it Forward? Sure. So I mean, you know what this round was not about it was not about as fast as we could have fine as it like very very fast as what it was about bringing the best structure. Number one number two, it was about, you know to maximize shareholder value. We could raise almost double the amount but we didn't want to make sense. This is the amount of cash we need for next stage Rose and then in the future if it's a year from now or two years from now we can do another round off. For that makes sense. So we were not looking at at you know, these things it was more about we have a lot of confidence in him. Advertising is going to become a major business model for game divorce across all platforms, through PC Mobile and an important ads category four Brands media agencies and the ESPYs and and the question is how fast can that happen or more sneaking about big Brands big Publishers not easy companies to convince them to do something new.

Are we get excited one form to partner is again investment one is a strategic partnership and they can elaborate more of some of the Partnerships we have in place and some of them is people who join our team. So that was what was guiding us and looking at the different, you know buckets of we are investors came from there is some you know, some like VCS and financial institutions. There is advertising and groups. There is game. Groups and there is a sports organizations that have a lot of touch point in going to become an important overlap in my opinion the next two years.
