A highlight from 1265. NFTs Are DEAD! ...Again | Mainstream Media vs Creators
"Let's talk about NFTs today and where the market might be heading and what is the future of the non -fungible token. We'll talk about all that for you guys. You don't want to miss this one because I think whether you love NFTs or don't like them, this is gonna shed some light on really what the future is. So stay tuned right here. My name is Paul Baron. Welcome back in to Tech Path. All right. Couple of things I want to hit on. A couple of tweets out here. NFTs are officially dead. 95 % are estimated to be literally worthless with pieces from the top collections only worth around five to ten. Roughly 25 million are sat on dead assets thanks to celebrities, endorsements, etc. Now this was coming over from Market Insiders. All right. And I want you to understand that this is process the typical that happens in innovative spaces. I remember, you know, in the era is, you know, when you look at just the birth of the internet. Is the internet dead? Is it a fad? Then the birth of social media. Social media is junk. It'll never be anything. Maybe not. And then, of course, mobile. You know, the iPhone will never make it. The BlackBerry will rule. This has happened so many times. Okay, so right here we have a piece on Market Insider. This was the actual hit piece. Let me kind of zoom down into the things they talked about. Are NFTs dead? The answer is yes. 23 million people hold these worthless assets. Then further in, fewer than 1 % have a price tag above 6k, a far cry from the regular million -dollar deals of two years ago. Don't take this out of context either because I'm kind of, you know, poking fun at this article. Mainly when you go to the actual source of where this actually came from, what they actually said was this. Is that while the situation does look bleak, in our opinion, however, NFTs still have a place in our future as we still maintain that once dust is settled we'll start to see an evolution with the NFTs. NFTs either need to be historically relevant, similar to the original Pokemon cards. So I think just that statement alone, the fact that they even compare this to the original Pokemon, to me, is groundbreaking. And I think they, the researchers, understand Market Insider does what they always do, which is sensationalize this stuff for clicks. The point is, is that we're talking about major movement in the NFT space in a time in which everything feels like it's dead right now. The traditional finance markets, etc. I want to go to this first clip. This might surprise you. Courtyard is a marketplace that tokenizes trading cards. Those cards then are put into an escrow vault powered by Brinks. You can then tokenize your card or collectible or whatever that you have on Courtyard and then sell that as an NFT. Now before you hear what you're saying about NFTs, I don't want to hear it. So they just did this drop here that sold out in seconds, literally bought it. This is a 1999 base set number 10 Mewtwo listed for twelve hundred and ninety five dollars. Now, if you go to like card collector and eBay and all that stuff, you'll see these prices are pretty much the same, maybe slightly more on this because it's the flexibility of oh, you don't actually need to have the physical item. If you want to claim this item, you can go through and you go here and then you say, I actually want this. I want this real card. Like I want to put this card behind me on the wall so everyone can see.

RADCast Outdoors
A highlight from Pack Wisely, Hunt Confidently: A Two-Part Series with Mike Kentner and David Merrell
"This episode of RadCast Outdoors is brought to you by P .K. Lures, Bow Spider, and High Mountain Seasonings. Fish on! Hey, RadCast is on! Hunting, fishing, and everything in between. This is RadCast Outdoors. Here are David Merrill and Patrick Edwards. Well hello and welcome everybody. Back to the RadCast Outdoors podcast. I'm David Merrill. We'll have to excuse Patrick Edwards today. He is traveling on the road and I am home between hunts for a momentary break in time. I actually was out trying to fill an elk tag this morning and was rather unsuccessful at filling a tag but had a great morning anyways. Fall is in the air guys. It's definitely time to get your gear, get out of the woods, and go enjoy it whether you're fishing, hunting, hiking, or backpacking. I've asked a former guest and another guest to come join us today. I've got Mr. Mike Kentner with me. Hello Mike. Hello. Glad to be here. Yeah, we were out looking for a few elk this morning and hiking around and I twisted his arm and said let's talk about what's in Mike's backpack. As you guys know I like to go hunting and over the years gear has changed dramatically from when I first started in the mid 90s and certainly from when you first started, right? Absolutely. In the early days we carried a fanny pack, nobody carried a backpack. Nobody had the idea Everly stock came out with I think to coin the phrase go in light come out heavy to be able to pack out when you went in. The early days we never did that. It's all kind of a newer concept in my world anyway. And I started in the scouting industry doing 50 milers and that kind of stuff so I had a pretty good grasp on what you should and what weight should be on how to navigate through the mountains. I had some orienteering, some compass, some basic survival under my belt, some first aid and some safety. But you have to put all that together and then you've got to start putting your backpack together and there is so many options now compared to when I first bought a $10 book bag from Walmart and put a few things in it and went hiking around saying man this and when we harvested stuff for the most part I threw a quarter on my shoulder and went hiking down the trail or I went and got horses or a dirt bike or a quad or a four wheeler but for the most part western style stuff it was I remember getting one of the very first real hunting backpacks I got was a fanny pack style. Yeah that's what we all started with back then we carried just the basic essentials maybe something to light a fire with, stuff to take care of your game if you put something down and then if you shot anything you walked all the way back to camp empty changed out for a metal frame and went back in for your meat. Yes and those metal frames have pretty much gone the wayside. A few guys still have them there's some companies making some really cool ones now and what you mean by metal is an external just a frame pack no bag attached nothing. It had a load shelf on it you set the shelf on tight most time they didn't have straps you had to use paracord or some kind of cord to tie your meat onto the pack. Now backpacks have obviously evolved the idea of backpack hunting has evolved and we're discussing a little bit today you know when I'm going on an expedition style Everest climb style hunt I'm taking a completely different kit than I am day hunting elk from the truck. Right everything down to I may use the same frame the same base frame but my bag load will be different I use a very small bag for my day hunts like today I use a 2800 inch bag for my day hunts and you go over a 6000 for a long hunt if you're going in for five or six days or more. Now day hunting what is your backpack in a way versus when the difference between a four day hunt and a ten day hunt you only have food difference you've got the same spotting scope the same shelter the same clothes for this kind of discussion a little bit we're basically going to talk day hunt or multi day now if you're talking four day or ten day that the only difference there is you're adding six extra days of food realistically same if I'm only going two nights then I might do something different but if I'm going for four to five nights I'm doing the same thing I would be doing if I'm doing ten to twelve nights. Yeah as far as your overnight gear still is pretty much the same. So that leads me to this first question is and I used to the first year or two elk hunting here in Wyoming I took my 7000 cubic inch bag just compressed it all the way down ran it empty and hunted with that but it stuck up so much higher than my head every time I duck under something I'm getting hung up so I switched to a 1850 Icon Pro from QU years ago I'm now running the Stryker XL from Kefaru that's my day bag and it's inch and then I throw a Sherman pocket and a guide lid and a claymore so now I'm like 3000 cubic inch but I don't have that completely full and we discuss this how full do you run your 2800 in day hunt mode? My day in day hunt mode is less than half full of what I pack and then I have plenty of room for jackets clothing depending on the weather any of that kind of stuff I'm gonna have in it but my base bag with my everything to take care of game and everything is less than halfway full. So some of the things that are in mind that I can think of is I always have a small first aid kit right nicks cuts scrapes burns some aspirin and then I have a kill kit usually involves I actually really like to use rubber gloves I grew up not doing it but when you're doing multi day multi hunt multi tags it's really nice to have a pair of rubber gloves to keep a little bit cleaner while you're processing but you definitely need those game bags I run six game bags how many do you run? Usually five I keep five in there for elk and big stuff it's always five and the reason guys I'm why running more than four quarter bags is well you've got neck meat back straps tenderloins I like to keep those two separate and what I've found is when we're doing either llamas or horses it's really easy even if we're backpacking and we've got to hang the meat away from bears I like to have all four of those quarters in their own bag and then I need two more for the rest of the stuff and sometimes I even like to grab another bag to put capes in. Yeah it's nice to have one for your cape if you're in the backcountry and you think you're going to have an animal mounted it's nice to have a cape a bag for your cape go as well so I usually carry like when I shot my bull this year I had six bags in me with me at the time so I have my five I primarily put meat in and then I have one backup one for the cape to bag it in so you need a good quality bags and quite a few of them. I don't typically pack water filtration in day hunt mode sometimes I like to run an algae and a bladder bag and I just fill that up in the morning and typically that's four liters of water I can pretty much make it through a day on that much water yeah I'm starting out a little heavier but I don't have to stop and pump during the day so do you what do you do for water in typical day hunt mode? I run bladder bags two liter bladder bags and so I usually run either one and a half or one liter and a two liter or two two liter bags so I'm running three to four liters and but I do carry the small Sawyer water filtration pretty much everywhere weighs under four ounces does about a pint at a time you got to refill the bag but it is a good way to get some extra water if you need it.

There are really, across the board, weakness in the euro area to a lesser or greater extent. Resetary risks do linger as we move into next year. I think it's harder to see higher inflation if growth is weakening in the euro area. I think the Fed so far has done a pretty good job. I think the ECB isn't quite there yet.

Discerning Hearts - Catholic Podcasts
A highlight from The Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts
"The First Sorrow of the Blessed Virgin Mary The Presentation in the Temple Sorrow as sharp as a sword shall pierce Mary's heart because of her child. Mary is in the temple, having come with Joseph to present the child to God. They meet Simeon, the holy man, and Anna, the prophetess. Simeon takes the baby in his arms, saying he will now die in peace because he has seen Christ. Then he foretells the sorrow to come. O God, come to my assistance. O Lord, make haste to help me. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. I grieve for you, O Mary most sorrowful, in the affliction of your tender heart at the prophecy of the Holy and Agent Simeon. Dear Mother, by your heart so afflicted, obtain for me the virtue of humility, and the gift of the holy fear of God. Hail Mary, full of grace the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death. Worn in sleep by an angel, Joseph takes Jesus and his mother Mary setting out for Egypt, where they lived in obscurity and poverty until it was safe to return to Nazareth. O God, come to my assistance. O Lord, make haste to help me. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. I grieve for you, O Mary most sorrowful, in the anguish of your most affectionate heart during the flight into Egypt, and your sojourn there. Dear Mother, by your heart so troubled, obtain for me the virtue of generosity, especially toward the poor, and the gift of piety. Hail Mary, full of grace the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death. Amen. The third sorrow of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The loss of Jesus for three days. When Jesus is twelve, he is taken to Jerusalem for the feast of Passover. On the return journey, Joseph and Mary find at the end of the first day that Jesus is not with them. Racked with anxiety, they search for him. Nobody in the streets, not even the beggars, can tell him where he is. Not till the third day do they find him in the temple. O God, come to my assistance. O Lord, make haste to help me. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end, Amen. I grieve for you, O Mary most sorrowful, in those anxieties which tried your troubled heart at the loss of your dear Jesus. Dear Mother, by your heart so full of anguish, obtain for me the virtue of chastity and the gift of knowledge. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. The Fourth Sorrow of the Blessed Virgin Mary The Way to Calvary Mary has known fear and sorrow, but none so great as seeing her beloved son stumbling under the weight of the cross. She hears the jeering shouts from the crowd and has no power to help him. Pity and love are in her eyes as she gazes at his blood -stained face. To many around her, he is no better than a criminal, and her heart is breaking as she follows him to Calvary. O God, come to my assistance. O Lord, make haste to help me. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end, Amen. I grieve for you, O Mary, most sorrowful, in the consternation of your heart at meeting Jesus as he carried his cross. Dear Mother, by your heart so troubled, obtain for me the virtue of patience and the gift of fortitude. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. Jesus told her, truly her heart is pierced with sorrow. Her beloved Son is dying and she shares in his suffering. She does not ask God to take away this agony. She is his mother, so close to him that his pain is hers too. And now he speaks from the cross, Woman, behold thy son. Jesus gives his mother to John and to us. For all eternity, she is our mother. O God, come to my assistance. O Lord, make haste to help me. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end, Amen. I grieve for you, O Mary, most sorrowful, in the martyrdom which your generous heart endured in standing near Jesus in his agony. Dear Mother, by your afflicted heart, obtain for me the virtue of temperance and the gift of counsel. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. The Amen. Sixth Sorrow of the Blessed Virgin Mary The Descent from the Cross It is over. Dark clouds have appeared in the sky and upon the world. Jesus is dead. Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus take down the body from the cross and Mary receives it in her arms. She is filled with a sadness that no human heart has known. This is her son. Once she had cradled him in her arms, listened to his voice, watched him working at the carpenter's bench. Now he is dead. She does not weep. Her grief is too great for tears. O God, come to my assistance. O Lord, make haste to help me. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. I grieve for you, O Mary, most sorrowful, in the wounding of your compassionate heart, when the side of Jesus was struck by the lance before his body was removed from the cross. Dear Mother, by your heart thus transfixed, obtain for me the virtue of fraternal charity and the gift of understanding. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Hastily, the body is wrapped in a clean linen cloth. Nicodemus has brought myrrh and aloes, and the body is bound in the shroud with them. Nearby is a new tomb belonging to Joseph of Arimathea, and there they lay Jesus. Mary and John and the holy women follow them, and watch as the great stone to the sepulchre is rolled. It is the end. O God, come to my assistance. O Lord, make haste to help me. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. I grieve for you, O Mary most sorrowful, for the pangs that wrenched your loving heart at the burial of Jesus. Dear Mother, by your heart sunk in the bitterness of desolation, obtain for me the virtue of diligence and the gift of wisdom. Hail Mary, full of grace the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. O afflicted Virgin, O soul great in virtues as in sorrows, both the one and the other spring from that great fire burning in thy heart for God, the only love of thy heart. Mary, have pity on me, who has not loved God, and who has so greatly offended him. Thy sorrows, it is true, assure me of pardon, but that is not sufficient. I wish to love God. Who could obtain for me that grace if not thee, who are the mother of holy love? O Mary, thou consolest to everyone, favour me also with thy consolations. Amen.

Evangelism on SermonAudio
A highlight from Session 19 Evangelism
"The visitation of evangelism is God's method. It's taught and practiced in the Bible. Capital letter A. New Testament examples, Luke 8 .1. I think it will be up here. It came to pass afterward that he went throughout every city and village preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God and the twelve were with him. Go to Luke 10 .1. Do you have that here? Go back to that one. I should have mentioned that. Luke 8 .1. After these things, the Lord appointed other seventy also and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whether he himself would come. Visitation evangelism requires that. I like the idea of two by two, frankly. I do like that. So they had thirty -five teams of two each going out, sent to every city and place for the Lord. Then we'll note Luke 10, the next two verses, two and three. Therefore the Lord Jesus said unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest. Go your ways, behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. So the message was, the harvest is great, I'm sending you out to reap the harvest, the laborers are few. You'll note the words, pray ye, comes before, go your ways. So we ought to pray and look to the Lord for that, for the blessing to come. How did they do it? Verse 19 says that the Lord said to them, Behold, I give unto you power. So he gives them the power to go. So there's pray first, go second, and God will give the power. We'll go to Acts, the fifth chapter, verses 40 and 42. To him they agreed, and when they had called the apostles and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus and let them go. And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. And daily in the temple and in every house they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ. So they went everywhere teaching and preaching. And he sent them forth and they did it in the temple and in every house they preached and taught Jesus Christ.
What a Weird Week
A highlight from What a Weird Week: That's a Big Ol' Ball of Cheese! Fri Sept 8 2023
"That's a big old ball of cheese. This is the What a Weird Week show for Friday, September 8th, 2023. Hi, everybody, it's weird. This is like crazy news here. Really weird, weird tale. Well, I got a great show for you today. What's so wonderful? Weird stuff! Hi, friends. I'm Scott. This is What a Weird Week, a show about weird stuff from this week's news. If you want links, audio, video, photos, warm thoughts. Just remember show notes dot page. You can find it all if you get to show notes dot page 10. Here we go. Season four, episode 50, first published on Friday, September the 8th, 2023. Kicking our weird news of the week off at number 10 is Venice, Italy, to start charging a cover, a cover charge of five euros for tourists who want to enjoy a day trip to Venice. This is only on select days to start. Seems like they're just trying it out. People who live in Venice are often outnumbered by tourists. And that can be a drag when you're just trying to get across town to your dentist appointment. And somebody is like, will you take my picture by this boat? Look, everybody, I'm Marco Polo. I imagine that plays out on a daily basis in Venice, but I'm not sure. Will a five dollar cover charge stop over tourism? I highly doubt it. If you've paid the money to go to Venice and then they're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, you can't come in, it's going to be five bucks. I mean, I do have an uncle who would be like, five dollars. I'll wait in the car. But most everybody else, you're going to pay the five bucks. But will a five dollar cover charge make a ton of money for the people of Venice? No, no, it will not, because they have to pay to administer this program. Can't even get a cup of coffee in Venice, probably for five bucks. Right. Less than a cup of coffee. Do you think maybe they're testing this out and someday you'll show up with your five bucks to get into Venice and they'll be like, oh, no, we've raised the price. It's five dollars twenty. Or heaven forbid, five ninety nine. Seems like this is a story to watch nine. Our number nine story is the man and lady suspected of busting a hole through the Great Wall of China because wanted to make a shortcut. A 38 year old man and a 55 year old woman who were working nearby have been detained while the investigation continues. They're suspected of using an excavator to bust through the Great Wall to create a shortcut for their construction work. I take a complicated view on this because I mean, yes, it's an ancient wonder to the world. That is an ancient wonder. The Great Wall of China. But if you've got to go all the way around every time you forget something in the truck or somebody is like, oh, Bob's here to sign those papers. Oh, Bob, the papers are in the truck. I got to go all the way around, Bob. Bernice, cover for me. I'll be back in six hours. You know, if it's that kind of scenario, I could see the temptation. The excavator is sitting there and you're like, punch a quick hole through here and I'm back at the parking lot. I'll be back in a jiff. Not saying it was, you know, the right thing to do to the ancient wonder. Anyway, story is continuing, investigation continues, so we'll find out. I guess maybe they don't have surveillance cameras all along the Great Wall of China, so they have to do some old fashioned detective work on this. Bringing the weird news of the week to your ear holes. This is what a weird week eight number eight in our countdown of the 10 weird news items of the week is gnomes in the news. Gnomes in the news. Police in the UK are warning people about gnome crime. They say if you find a mysterious garden gnome in your yard, you need to contact the cops and go on high alert. That is me paraphrasing. It could be that robbers have put the gnome in your yard because they're scoping out your place. It's a way to see if you're home. If the robbers come by and they see their gnome hasn't been touched, it tells them that there's probably no one at your house and your place is burglar friendly. If you've been involved in a mystery gnoming, contact your police. I got to say, this one seems like an urban legend to me or something, but I mean, there are real statements from police about this. It just seems like something you would see on Home Alone in the Home Alone movie franchise, Home Alone eight gnome alone. That one, you know, that could be animated. Hold on a second. Writing that one down in the million dollar idea book. Let me know in the comments if you have Steven Spielberg's address. I'd appreciate that. A personal phone number, maybe personal phone number. I think I'd be better on the phone. Seven Mullet World Record. Tammy Menace is a nurse from Tennessee who hasn't cut the party in the back since 1990.

This is what a weird week six number six on our countdown. Man interviewed on BBC TV by mistake is back in the news. In case you missed it in 2006, a fellow named Guy went to the BBC for a job interview. At the same time, the TV channel was expecting an expert also named Guy to do a live TV interview. So one was job interview. One was an interview on TV. Well, the long story short is the wrong guy ended up on TV and he did his best to fake his way through it. Well, Guy Cuney is the editor of the technology website News Wireless. Hello. Good morning to you. Good morning. Were you surprised by this verdict today? I'm very surprised to see this verdict to to come on me because I was not expecting that when I came. They told me something else and I'm coming. You got an idea of it.

So I would encourage you to read the article. We link to that. But this Mexican town in four hours took a whole lot of stringy cheese and made it into the biggest cheese ball in the world. Type of cheese is called one of the names for it is quesillo. I'm probably saying that wrong also, but it's a stringy cheese in the same way you would make an elastic band ball, you know, out of collecting elastic bands. They took all this stringy cheese and just started wrapping and balling that cheese and kablami. They got a cheese ball weighing in at twelve hundred thirty pounds. It was around three feet across the cheese ball and experts in action. It's hypnotizing is something to see. The video is in the show notes. Congratulations, cheese ballers on a wonderful world record accomplishment. It looked delicious.

"This episode of Markets Daily is sponsored by Kraken. It's Wednesday, September 6th, 2023, and this is Markets Daily from CoinDesk. I'm Michelle Musso here with your crypto markets roundup. On today's show, we're talking Bitcoin, a death cross, SPF's laptop and more. And just a reminder, CoinDesk is a news source and does not provide investment advice. Bitcoin has remained almost entirely locked below the $26 ,000 mark since September 1st, showing little to no signs of life. BTC is basically unchanged over 24 hours, down 0 .1 % at around $25 ,700. The CoinDesk market index, CMI, is down by a slim 0 .04%. Investors appear to be exercising caution and refraining from significant actions awaiting further developments in both the cryptocurrency market and the broader economy. A crypto market analyst at Japanese exchange BitBank noted, It appears that the majority of speculative funds have already exited the crypto space, and market participants are now anticipating the next move by the Federal Reserve. In September and October, Ether is poised to exhibit superior performance compared to Bitcoin, as per the insights provided by cryptocurrency analytics firm K33. Notably, with a considerable likelihood of the inaugural Ether Exchange Traded Fund ETF in the United States gaining regulatory approval around mid -October, astute investors have an opportunity to leverage the impending momentum that will propel ETH's value. This strategic perspective is articulated by the senior analyst, Vetli Lund. September has consistently posed a historical challenge for BTC, with negative returns observed in this particular month every year since 2016. Consequently, the prevailing odds appear to favor Ethereum, as asserted by Lund, who alludes to Bitcoin's notable 60 % surge during the three weeks leading up to the approval of its inaugural US futures -based ETF in 2021. While regulatory uncertainties persist, it is noteworthy that Binance continues to maintain its supremacy within the cryptocurrency market. As per data compiled by FRNT Financial, Binance's BTC -USDT trading pair has commanded a staggering 86 % share of the worldwide BTC spot market trading volume this year.

As the dollar index tantalizes with the prospect of a golden crossover, Bitcoin appears poised to establish a death cross. A death cross typically signals the potential emergence of a long -term bearish momentum, whereas a golden cross conversely implies a contrasting outlook. Bitcoin is on the brink of the death cross in the imminent days ahead, signifying a situation where short -term price momentum lags behind the long term, carrying the potential to transition into a bearish trajectory. Concurrently, Ether, the second largest cryptocurrency in terms of market value, is also poised to approach a similar death cross formation. Throughout its history, the cryptocurrency has encountered nine instances of death cross formations, and intriguingly, a mere two of these occurrences resulted in adverse returns when analyzed across three-, six-, and twelve -month intervals. Notably, on five of the nine occasions, Bitcoin was trading at a lower value one year following the emergence of the death cross.

Ultraflex Football
A highlight from 41: 2023 Predictions!
"Welcome to the Ultra Flex Football Podcast where we have fun with our friends while we talk about football and any anything else we wanna talk about. We're here for season two. I don't know if we're officially calling it season two but this is our second season of talking about NFL football. So, we're back. With me as always is Rob Green. What's up? And Ryan Wheeler. Howdy, howdy. Season two episode one is what it's officially gonna be titled and Tony, I told you not to talk so close to the mic, man. You like, blew out my eardrums there at the beginning but I just get excited. I know. You're so excited. You get excited so easily. We were talking about that before we like, actually started recording but anywho, uh so, we do that thing where we have an album and we split up the songs in the album and we try to get the song titles into the show as discreetly as possible. Sometimes not as discreet as we'd like to think we are but we're gonna give you our titles that way you know what to listen for. See how many you can catch. Just a little game within our show. My song titles, the album first of all is called Down to Earth by Jimmy Buffet. Rest in peace, Jimmy Buffet. It's his first album. Down to Earth. The songs that I have to get in are The Christian, LSD, The Missionary, and A Mile High in Denver. Rob, what do you got? Alright, I have the captain and the kid, Captain America, Ain't He a Genius, and Turnabout. Alright, and Sir Anthony. I've got There's Nothing Soft about Hard Times, I Can't Be Your Hero Today, and Truck Stop Salvation. So, we'll see if we can get all of those in. Uh most of the episode today is gonna be football. It's uh we we were doing some things during the off season to help pass time. Uh you know, Ultra Flex After Dark and having some fun with games and things like that but football season is here. Uh we're gonna be doing football talk here in a second where we're gonna pick our division of winners. We're gonna pick our Super Bowl, MVP, and then we're gonna pick week one games and then we'll have one game at the end. So, uh football, football, football. So, let's get it started with football talk. Just that really amps you up, doesn't it? Golly, that was good. It puts me in the football mood. It just, it feels like we're kind of, you know, whimsical, a little bit of uh goofy when we talk. So, I thought that was a good one for football, our football talk. Let's, let's start with, in my opinion, the less competitive conference which would be the NFC. Uh maybe you guys think differently. Um but let's go with NFC West. We'll skim over this if we all agree pretty quickly. Uh I'll go first. This one and then we'll just kinda alternate uh as we jump divisions but uh for me, the NFC West is the 49ers winning this division. Um I think they're the best team in the NFC. Any chance we can like we go NFC West that includes the that way for people that don't necessarily have the NFC West on the top of their head you're just gonna see that includes like the 49ers, Seahawks, Cardinals, uh Rams. Yeah, you just you just did it. Yeah, we can do it. Okay. Nailed it. Yeah. So, 49ers, Seahawks, uh Cardinals, Rams. For me, Cardinals, Rams are both gonna be pretty not so great. Comes out of the Seahawks and 49ers and I just think the 49ers are a better roster. Brian? Oh, it's next. Um I'm gonna go with the 49ers. I just think top to bottom, the roster is the best. Rob? Yeah, I agree but I wanna be different. So, give me the Seahawks. We hated on him last year. We picked him to be like what? One and sixteen I think cuz we thought they were terrible. Gino Smith's gonna continue his uh career turnaround, turn about. I don't know if I can use that here. And uh. And he's gonna lead them to a division title. Alright. They have the offensive weapons to do it though. They definitely have the offensive weapons. Maybe Brock Purdy isn't as good as he looked at the end of last year. We'll see. He doesn't have to be. They have Sam Darnold as the backup. I don't think that's why he doesn't have to be good but anyway. Yeah. I think he has enough weapons and Kyle Shanahan around him that will make him. Exactly it. Make him look good. Uh Ryan, I'll let you go first this time. We're talking about the NFC North. So, we got the Lions, the Packers, the Bears, and the Vikings. Who do you have winning that? The NFC North, I have the Packers taking that division. It kinda just feels like a crapshoot division honestly. I mean, I don't really feel good about my pick. I don't feel about picking any, good about picking any of those teams. So, I just want Jordan Love to be good because he's got an awesome name and quite honestly, that's that's how I came up with my answer. So, I was like, got the guy that has love in his name. I'm pretty sure from looking at this division, the odds are the closest bunch of four out of all the the division. Makes sense. So, it kind of is the most wide open division, I think. Who do you have? Yeah, who do you have picking, Rob? You know, our team last year was the Lions. So, I'm gonna I'm gonna bring that over to this year. Let's go with the Lions too. I don't even know the last time they won the division. Nineties probably. Early 90s, mid 90s. If they did then. I just don't know either. I think we'll find out pretty early AKA we're filming this on a Monday before the season starts. So, we'll find out in 3 days whether or not they'll be a pretty good team again which they have enough talent on the offense to put up points. It'll just. Yeah, what are we thinking like 60 points in that first game here with the Lions and Chiefs? It's gonna be a high score game. Probably, yeah. Yeah, no Chris Jones for the Chiefs and then the Lions don't really have much of anybody on defense. Um that means that yeah, they did what they took that linebacker. I can't think of his name right now. Um. The guy that everybody won the bills. Jack Campbell. Jack Campbell. Yeah. Yeah. Um but I agree. I have power on offense to be the best team in that division but I wouldn't would I be shocked if the Vikings or the Packers or even the Bears for that matter were to win it. Probably not. So, I'll go with the Lions. Uh the NFC East another compelling division. Got three and a half maybe. I don't know about Washington. Good teams. Um which the Cowboys, the Eagles, uh the commanders, and the Giants. Rob, who do you have winning the NFC East? Yeah, I like the Eagles. I think they're the best team in the NFC and I think they showed that last year. I think they'll do that again this year. Jalen Hurts continues his uh breakout. I won't say an MVP season but he could have another MVP caliber season like he did last year. Yeah, mine's gonna be the Eagles as well. I think their roster. While the Cowboys and Giants are gonna probably both win nine, ten games. I think the Eagles are just good enough to win eleven or twelve games and and win that division. So, Ryan, what about you? Yeah, I'm gonna be different and go uh Cowboys um not because I wanna be different but because I actually think the Cowboys are I think they have a better defense and I think their offense maybe not as good but I think they have a good offense and uh quite honestly, both these teams have pretty cake schedules. Um the Rob and I were talking about it earlier. Um sorry, we left you out of this conversation, Tony but the uh the Cowboys or I'm sorry, the the Eagles first was like seven games are the Patriots, Vikings, Buccaneers, Commanders, Rams, Jets, Dolphins, and then commanders again. It's like it's not that difficult. It could be six and one, seven and all. Yeah. And then the Cowboys was very similar. Like last year. So, it kinda feels like whoever wins this division is probably gonna win it with twelve. Twelve wins. Somewhere around there. Eleven, twelve. So, I just, I'm just gonna go Cowboys on that. That's gonna be a lot of my points in the AFC uh which we'll talk about in a second uh which is how hard all of their schedules are but uh last division um the NFC side is the NFC South. Could be the worst division in football. Uh we got the Saints, the Bucks, the Falcons, and the Panthers.
Evangelism on SermonAudio
A highlight from The Necessity of God's Word (Part 2)
"Do you understand the magnitude and significance of the effort that we are part of when we engage in taking the Gospel to unbelievers? Find out much more on today's edition of Encounter God's Truth. We go back to Appalachian Bible College in Mount Hope, West Virginia to hear the closing portion of a lesson on The Necessity of God's Word and our series on biblical apologetics. I'm Wayne Shepard and our Bible teacher is Dr. John Whitcomb. We've been learning together from this classic series on apologetics and today's program brings us to the finish. As fall approaches and so many head back to school, how appropriate it is that we focus on the energy that scripture has to impact our hearts and minds with God's eternal truth. As Dr. Whitcomb demonstrates, it's more formidable than the greatest human intellect and even more powerful than seeing a miracle. Let's go back to Appalachian Bible College now and hear the conclusion of this message, The Necessity of God's Word. We begin by reviewing 2 Corinthians chapter 2. Who is sufficient for these things? My friends, we're in an infinite operation here that determines the eternal destiny of human beings in heaven or hell. Who's sufficient for these things? For we are not as many which corrupt the Word of God of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. Now friends, we can just begin to realize the magnitude of God's plan here in form of a little chart. I hope this will be of some help to you as it has to me from time to time. Over here we have symbolized the unbeliever with a darkened heart that doesn't have cleansing and purifying and forgiveness and regeneration by the Holy Spirit, the unbeliever. And notice that he is surrounded by an impenetrable barrier to any outside finite pressure. It's called his sinful nature. And over here we've tried to depict the believer whose heart has been cleansed by the Holy Spirit based on the merits of Jesus Christ. And the believer may fall into the serious temptation of trying to win the unbeliever on a horizontal basis, namely just provide Christian evidences to penetrate that heart through logic and philosophy and history and science. And by the way, all these arguments that we've talked about through archaeology and history and logic, I mean there are hundreds and hundreds of evidences that show that the Bible has got to be supernatural in origin. But the amazing thing we discover is that no matter how powerful the arguments are in the realm of creation and prophecy and so forth, they cannot penetrate that heart. They cannot get through to that heart. Well then what's the answer? What's the approach? God says you have... Now this is very illogical from a human standpoint. God says you have to approach the unbeliever through the third heaven. You have to go this way, through prayer, faith and obedience in relation to God on the basis of Hebrews 4 -12, the word of God, not my word or your word. The word of God is living, powerful, sharper than a two -edged sword, piercing even to the dividing center of soul and spirit and of the joints and marrow and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart and neither is any creature that is not naked and open before the eyes of him with whom he have to... God knows that person infinitely. He knows what can reach that person, namely his precious word alone. That's one of the hardest lessons I've ever had to learn. Well all the things, Lord, that I've learned about how we know the Bible is true, why can't I use those arguments, those evidences? Well friends, let's stop and think for a moment. As the word of God penetrates into that unbeliever, something of infinite power has reached his heart. Now just think of the evidences Jesus If provided. you think our evidences can be effective, and they can be, and that's a whole subject of its own, think of the evidences Jesus himself gave. Stupendous sign miracles, hundreds of them. In fact, someone has suggested that every sick, crippled, leprous person in Israel, by the time Jesus' ministry was finished, was healed. Thousands of people, it says that over and over, year after year, thousands of people can heal them all, heal them all. And I say, well Lord, I should think that the whole nation then would have turned to him. Why, on one occasion, friends with a boy's lunch, he fed 5 ,000 men plus their families with food left over. And they said, they all agreed, this is John 6, let's make him king. I mean, anyone who can feed everybody for nothing supernaturally is our candidate for king. Then he began telling them about himself and who he was and that they had to believe in him on the basis of his substitutionary atoning death. And guess what happened at the end of chapter 6? They all left him. You say, that's absurd. Haven't they seen sign miracles? Yes. Miracles like the like of which had never been seen before in the history of the world? Yes. And Jesus turned to the twelve and said, are you going to believe me too? And one of them finally spoke up, of course, Peter, Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life. Right. That's the difference. But even one of them was a doubter, Thomas, and another one was demon possessed, namely Judas. That helps me to understand what the miracles were for. Why Jesus, friends, said, an evil, adulterous nation demands signs and no sign will be given except the sign of the prophet Jonah, namely, as he was three days and nights in the belly of the great fish, so the son of man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. In other words, his bodily resurrection is his final proof to the whole human race of who he is. The sign miracles, may I say it this way, were almost totally ineffective and worthless to convert anybody ever in Israel. That wasn't their function. It was simply to do what? To attract attention to himself as the God appointed Messiah and King of Israel so that they could then hear his message and then their response to the message would determine their eternal destiny. This is an awesome thing to think about. Now, I almost hate to read this chapter. With fear and trembling, I ask you to turn to Luke 16. This is absolutely awesome. The rich man in Hades. Luke 16, beginning with verse 19. There was a certain rich man which was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day. And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus which was laid at his gate full of sores and desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. Would you kindly agree with me he was in desperate condition. He had nothing of this world's goods. And it came to pass that the beggar died and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. That means the place of blessing, the place of the faithful in what at that time was called paradise, the upper Sheol Hades where believers went when they died. And the rich man also died and was buried and in hell or Hades, the lower Sheol Hades, he lifted up his eyes being in torment and seeth Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom in close fellowship with him. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue for I am tormented in this flame. That is the situation now of every unbeliever who's ever died. I just, I'm staggered by this. And Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receiveth thy good things and likewise Lazarus evil things but now he is comforted and thou art tormented and besides all this between us and you there's a great gulf fixed so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot, Lazarus can't get to you, sorry, neither can they pass to us that would come from thence and other you can't come here either. And then he said, I pray thee therefore, Father, that rich man in Hades and torment said to Abraham, Father, that thou would ascend into my brother's house. I have a plan. I want you to reach my living brothers by sign miracles. Now this would impress some people today because we are harassed in every direction by people who are committed to sign miracle ministries to change the hearts of people by spectacular things that they can see. Now watch the response of God through Abraham. I have five brethren that he may testify to them lest they also come into this place of torment. In other words, would you please send Lazarus, the beggar, back to the realm of the living because my five brothers often came to my mansion and saw this beggar by the door and they'd recognize him when they see him. Please send him back to the realm of the living. And I mean, think of this as an evangelistic program. He could go from house to house, knock on the doors of my brothers and say, I am back from the dead. I saw your dead brother in Hades in torment. Do you think that would get their attention? How do you like that for a sign miracle Look ministry? at God's response through Abraham. Abraham saith unto him, they have Moses and the prophets. Let them hear them. They have the Bible. They have the Old Testament scripture. They have the infallible and errant self -authenticating word of God. In other words, that's what they need is Now, this is why he was where he was. Listen to how he despises God's word. Do you catch this? He said, nay, Father Abraham. In other words, who cares about the Bible? Old wives fabled stories for children maybe, but not for my brothers. You don't understand, sir, they're intellectuals. They're scientists. They don't accept stories supposedly from God. They want to see something that's empirical, tangible, self -evident and thus convincing. Nay, Father Abraham, but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. That's what they need, a sign miracle. Hmm. And here's how it ends, folks. And he said unto him, Abraham said to the rich man, if they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the dead. Really? Well, that's what happened when Jesus arose from the dead. The whole story of the book of Acts is that in spite of the fact that Jesus Christ fulfilled his promise, he said, you destroy this temple and in three days I'll raise it again. And he did and rose from the dead. And the apostles preached the resurrection of Jesus and the scribes and the Pharisees hated the message and threatened and tormented God's servants for mentioning resurrection, even of Jesus. Oh yes, friends, even if one rises from the dead, they will not repent. You know what Jesus did for his friend Lazarus one day in Bethany? He raised him from the dead. Lazarus, come forth. I'm very impressed by what happened, aren't you? Immediately, the corpse stood at the entrance of the tomb and he said, loose him and let him go. He's fine. He's alive. Probably felt better than he had in his previous life. He didn't have to be dragged out half dead for recuperation. Don't you think all the scribes and Pharisees and Sadducees would have just swamped the whole, I mean, that settles it. We believe. Read what happened next. The enemies of Jesus got together and made a decision. Just for that, we're going to kill Lazarus and Jesus. Hmm, that doesn't sound intelligent. Well, that's the problem because the mind of man, which is an aspect of the soul, heart, spirit of man in his sinfulness, his darkness cannot function intelligently. Only the spirit of God can bring us reason to see God's realities as they really are. And I say, well, Lord, I just didn't know it was this bad. I just desperately need your help then to accomplish what is otherwise impossible. Help me to preach the word faithfully, clearly, completely, without compromise, graciously, patiently, in season, out of season, love people, whether they receive me, accept me, appreciate me or not, because the word of God has infinite power. I don't. He has it. He alone has it. Now, friends, there is a way in which Christian evidences can be used. I just want to be very careful here not to disparage the things that God has given us in the way of evidences. Let's take a look. The low value of Christian evidences, among other methods, shall by this all men, unsaved men who lack spiritual discernment to understand scripture, by this, Jesus said, shall all men know that you are my disciples if you have love one for another, John 13, 35. So the ultimate models for mutual Christian love in a godless world must be the Christian home and the local church. Now, think carefully of that statement, Jesus, that's the greatest of Christian evidences. When you go forth to a mission field, whether it's New Zealand or wherever, something you can do under God is undeniable and irresistible. And here it is. Demonstrate to the people to whom God sends you that you know what Christian love is in your relationship, husband and wife and parents and children and children to parents and hopefully other Christians and a little tiny microcosm of the Holy Spirit called a local church that God will plant there and the godless surrounding population sooner or later will have to see something they have never seen before and can't explain and can't duplicate. Christian love. Why, there are all kinds of evidences, friends, that are helpful, like maybe, you know, medical missions, helping people physically, that'll get their attention. Maybe hospitality, maybe English language courses in China or wherever, people almost do anything to learn English and you get them there and you demonstrate, you know, the things that they're interested in and show friendship. But you see, Jesus said, the greatest evidence we have that will really get people's attention is Christian love, one for another in the home and in a local church that God will plant here and there around the world. You see, friends, Jesus never said miracles will do the trick. He said to the apostles, you remember in John 14, the miracles that I've done you'll do also. And they did, they raised the dead, I mean Peter and Paul, I mean amazing sign miracles they did in the early church, book of Acts. But do you know what else he said, friends? Greater works than these shall you do because I go to my Father. And what are the greater works? Preaching the gospel, which when believed brings eternal life instantly. But the sign miracles Jesus performed never saved anybody. Did you know that? They were spectacular, they were undeniable. But every person Jesus healed got sick again anyway and died, every one of them. He didn't permanently solve anybody's problem physically. He fed 5 ,000 the next day they were all hungry again. Didn't solve their hunger problem. But Jesus said, because I'm going to my Father in heaven and send the Holy Spirit and create the church and grant unto you the scriptures, you will have the capacity under God to mastermind this book and make it known to people and you'll see greater works. I mean Peter the apostle, folks, preached one sermon and 3 ,000 men were saved in one day and saved forever. Vastly greater miracle than healing the sick and walking on water, which Peter also did. Don't try that, by the way, unless Jesus does to you what he did to him, namely says come. Don't try that. I have been fascinated, obsessed I guess is the word, with the mentality today that you have to have intellectual brilliance and you have to have spectacular miracles to attract anybody and to have any credibility as a member, as a representative of God. I've done a little booklet in fact that's out there and maybe have helped you. Does God want Christians to perform miracles today? No. In fact, you know what would happen? It'd be a regression. It'd be a step, giant step backwards because we'd be going back to the lower foundation of the church in the apostolic era before the superstructure was built on a completed scripture. In those days it was a unique way for God to give the apostles opportunity to attract attention, but now friends we have something they didn't have, the completed Bible. God says you master this book and sooner or later one way or another you follow my guidelines and instruction and you mastermind the basics of evangelism and church planning and missions and witness and you will have infinite power from above through this book that pierces even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit. And I say Lord, I desperately need your help. This book friend is so powerful that even when you preach it without love it'll change people forever. Did you know that? Paul tells us in Philippians 1 there are other people here in Rome that are offended by my being here and they don't like me and they don't appreciate me but they are preaching the truth and I will rejoice in it and I will continue to rejoice because even without love which is often the way we preach like on a radio station you never even see the people or hand out a tract and you see the people disappear you never see them again. Even under those situations the word of God has infinite power. Let me tell you a man who preached the word without love, Jonah. He hated every minute of his ministry. He said God why didn't you destroy these people? That wasn't a loving approach to missions. But you know what he did? He preached the word and the whole city repented and Jesus said it wasn't fakie either. He said Nineveh repented at the preaching of Jonah and will rise up in the last generation and condemn this generation. I mean he must have preached more than just judgment. He must have said something about God. It's my opinion. The whole city repented even though he hated every one of them in Nineveh. But that's why God says preach the truth as we were reminded this morning. Preach the truth in love and you'll have even more effect. Yes, but whatever you do folks, hold on, preach the truth. That's the point. That's the power, the truth and hopefully it's done in love and graciously and prayerfully and patiently but whatever you do and whatever your motive and whatever the circumstances, preach the word. And I say thank you Lord, that settles it. I think I'll be a Bible believing Christian and a Bible believing teacher and I want to honor Jesus Christ and the blessed Holy Spirit who presented this book to us because that's an irresistible force. Even in a world dominated by what? Satan, millions of demons, billions of depraved people and even mice in nature. God says watch me. I have a special weapon, an instrument I'm putting into your hand and your mind and heart. Watch what I can do almost in spite of you for my glory through my word. Father in heaven, I just stand amazed at how you operate. Everything sooner or later will be for your glory or it will disappear. Help me to examine there for my own ministry. The church could be raptured to heaven and I and all of us will be confronted by the Lord Jesus with eyes like a flame of fire searching us, examining us to see whether we really have done the work of God in a godly way, in obedience, in faithfulness for his glory. Help me to be ready at any moment to give an account to you dear Father because that's why you sent me not to gain glory for myself or any of us as teachers and proclaimers of the truth but to glorify the Savior apart from whom we're lost forever and the blessed Holy Spirit who gave us this precious book. May ABC father stand brightly in a darkening world as a true reflector of the light of Jesus Christ until he comes I pray in his glorious name for his sake. Amen.

A highlight from Short Stuff: Evil Eye
"Elevate your travels with the city advantage executive card the only card with admirals club membership earn advantage miles and loyalty points on your Purchases plus premium benefits that take your trips above and beyond expectations visit city .com slash executive for a bonus miles offer travel on Hey and welcome to the short stuff, I'm Josh and there's Chuck and Jerry's here to Given us the evil eye. Mmm for all the trash we've ever talked about her and frankly it's working because I just Blew a tire on the way here to work. Is that a euphemism? No, no, I blew a tire and I lost my checkbook Mmm, you were at the grocery store. They rang everything up. Mm -hmm You're standing there looking and they were then they said you have to pay now and you want oh and you reached in your purse To get your checkbook out. I reached in my front pocket of my shirt and then you're like, does anyone have a pen and Twelve people under the age of 75 behind you rolled their eyes inside Mm -hmm, and they had a pen but it leaked all over my hand. They gave you the evil eye big Thanks to our pal Dave Bruce and the old folks at how stuff works calm For this bit on the evil eye what we in our house call the stink eye Yes, also, thanks to Antonio Paglia Rullo Who is the author of a book on the evil eye the evil eye Colin the history mystery and magic of the quiet curse? Dave talked to a lot about this because not only did Antonio write that book his grandmother was an evil eye Doer away with practitioner when he was growing up That's right, if you don't know what we're talking about we're talking about what turns out to be a very very old I don't know what you call a tradition. What do you what is custom? Superstition. Yeah, all those things where someone will give you the evil eye. Someone will shoot you a glance We call it the stink eye again. Yeah, and it's it's wordless. You don't have to say a thing. You don't have to have a What is a little voodoo doll There's a big there's a quick cello sting going on in the background 100 % you got to take that that small string section around with you It means basically well originally I think it was sort of came from jealousy or envy but can also be just someone's angry or they resent you or Maybe they're being greedy or something and it's generally always intentional But I was surprised to learn From our friend here who wrote that book that it can be unintentional. I didn't realize that but I mean I guess I guess if you're coveting Something are you jealous of somebody to the left of the person you accidentally look at and give the evil eye That's the best I can come up with for unintentional evil eye This goes all the way back to the Greeks and possibly before right? Oh, yeah long before the Greeks but Plutarch was maybe the first person to actually write about it He was a philosopher and historian as everybody knows and he wrote some essays that were collected into something called Moralia And he talked about the evil eye in that his whole jam. Was that your eyes are a source of energy That shoot out that shoot the energy out into the world around you and that reminded me Chuck of our stereoscopic episode where that one one of those ancient physicians would had their their theory was that we see by shooting beams out at Stuff. Yeah, and that's how we see and I guess that's kind of what it was based on. Yeah, totally the basically the body fills up with that jealousy or rage or whatever and It clouds the mind and then the eyeballs are right there in front of the mind to sort of Display for the world whatever the mind is thinking and in this case, it's evil Yeah, and it goes when you shoot the evil eye out of your eyes that was Plutarch's take and apparently that was the popular Take of it. Yeah, and depending on what culture you are from and your your ancestry is Sort of about you might have a long rich tradition of evil eye shooters or or Blaming everything that happens to you. That's bad on an evil eye that was shot your way Yeah, because it's not just stuff that happens to you directly like an injury or an illness It can also be things that happen to the things you depend on like your smartphone Exploding in your pocket. Remember what that used to happen. Yeah They are blowing a tire smartphones did They didn't catch on fire, right? Am I making that up? There were like mild explosions with some I want to say an Android at some point in time Yeah blowing up in people's pockets and everyone's like ha boy remember when that was a thing Yeah, and now they're right back in her pockets again back in the aughts. Yeah. Everybody's like, I don't care I love smartphones so much. I'll just take the risk. That's right so back to Antonio who wrote the book the evil eye he is Catholic and Italian and he said, you know, we don't even have like baby showers over here like that That's considered bad luck to have a baby shower. Like you're tempting fate or something like that yes, so it's a you know, sort of a superstitious danger and Over there and this is kind of true anywhere in any culture that has an evil eye history They will have protections against evil eyes like amulets and things like that and pregnant women would wear amulets in Italy Apparently at least in his family and they would say these special prayers to ward off the evil eye Yeah, and the reason why Having something like a baby shower would tempt fate and maybe attract an evil eye Is that it could be taken as like a boast or something and roasting can generate? Envy or jealousy and envy or jealousy can shoot out of your eyes as the evil eye and then your smartphone blows up in your Hand during the baby shower. Yeah, look at me I made a human and in particular babies children pregnant women and animals are the most vulnerable to the evil eye Although it can happen to anybody But there's different traditions and customs for protecting against the evil eye Depending on where you are in the world. Like you said in Turkey when you are a newborn baby You're gonna get what's called a nazar? Which is a dark blue? Circle with a white circle inside it in a dark blue circle inside the white circle and it's meant to be an eye And Chuck I say we take a break and we'll come back and tell everybody whose eye it is after this know ooh You friends seeing a doctor when you're sick is enough to make you sick or sicker and involves a lot of time and Effort at a time when you're least equipped to provide either so we want to talk about Teladoc, which is a far better alternative It's putting the humanity into health care. Yeah, think about what happens when you're sick and you have to see a doctor You've got a schedule an appointment and that could take days sometimes weeks to get in then you have to go to the doctor Even though you're probably feeling miserable and then you have to wait in the appropriately named waiting room Exposed to whatever the people around you are coughing and spewing into the air. It's a thing Well with Teladoc Health you can get in touch with a doctor 24 hours a day 365 days a year all from the comfort of your own home Just open the Teladoc Health app and get a diagnosis treatment plan and prescription if needed from a board -certified provider Download the app to get started today or go online to register or schedule a visit at Teladoc Health dot -com slash stuff That's T E L A D O C health dot -com slash stuff People are excited about what AI will do for them at IBM We're excited about what AI will do for business your business Introducing Watson X a platform designed to multiply output by tailoring AI to your needs when you Watson X your business You can build AI to help coders code faster customer service respond quicker and HR handle repetitive tasks in less time Let's create AI that transforms business with Watson X learn more at IBM comm slash Watson X IBM. Let's create a Horace it's the eye of Horace. Oh, wow. That was quick. Yeah Yeah, and like you said depending on where you are you might have different traditions for warding this thing off a lot of these countries are Middle Eastern or somewhere around the Mediterranean Sea I believe Dave Even said in his own family his grandmother in the Jewish tradition would tie Ribbons on cribs and things like that to ward off the evil eye or potential bad luck for newborn babies in that right? Yeah for sure in India They'll put some coal a black dot on the in Infants face and all these the point of these the nazar the red ribbon the black dot on the face They're meant to protect they're they're basically amulets or talisman that can protect against the evil eye and one reason why they based that on the eye of Horace is because in ancient Egypt the eye of Horace was painted on homes painted in tombs and it offered protection from evil or malintent or all sorts of problems even back then and so it kind of got mmm, you know how they take like You century know it goes from really ornate to like really stylized and simple That's basically what happened to the eye of Horace when it became the nazar. Yeah, that's a good way to say it Well, thank you and our book author also like you mentioned his grandmother Paglia Rulo's Grandma would keep a bowl of water in her kitchen and poured little drops of olive oil in there and look at the shapes and the patterns that the oil would take and Apparently that would inform her on the evil eye and if there was like someone in her family that was potentially in danger or a neighbor or something that Possibly will be or was stricken with the evil eye and I thought that was really interesting I don't know if it literally was like hey that looks like Our Gary our neighbor, right or if it's just you know, kind of reading the tea leaves, right? I'll put that olive oil was so good, too So you said that this all kind of came out of the Mediterranean did you not yes They've traced it back at least 5 ,000 years ago to tell Brock which is a city in Mesopotamia Which is tell Brock is a modern -day Syria right now and they found tiny figures that all kind of bear a resemblance to one another They call them eye idols and that they think that these offered protection as well Did you look up the eye idols of tell Brock do I didn't if? Et is not based on that. I will eat my head It's Identical to eat. It's crazy how much it looks like et man There's nobody who's seen et and would see one of those and be like, I don't know like it looks exactly like et All right, I'm looking it up and that is et. Yeah in that nuts That is et. I mean that is unmistakably an et head, right? But also even the body resembles et the proportions and everything. Yeah, that's true I don't see any arms and legs, but it does have that big squatty body. Well, thank God I don't have to eat my hat today Because they just pile on everything else bad that's happened. Was it like a sweaty old baseball cap. Mm -hmm Salty, you know, it's got the white salt streaks. It'll never come out. No, thanks So, I guess that's about it, huh for for evil eye. I got nothing else. Yeah There's all sorts of amulets and talisman you can use to protect yourself If you feel like somebody gave you the evil eye you can also say please don't look at me like that anymore I don't know what's wrong with you. That will also dispel the magic too. That's right.
Capstone Conversation
Councilwoman Chris Kelley Has Big Plans for the City of Hercules
"Tell me within your city, you have something pretty exciting going on that you've been working your whole tenure on and will continue to be a focus of the cities for the next 10 years. Can you talk to us about the Hercules transportation hub and what's going on there? Yeah, so the Hercules hub is located. It's an area of our city down by the waterfront many years ago, 50, 60 years ago. That's where the dynamite factory was. And about 20 years ago, some housing, single family housing was built. But the city also has had a plan to bring in multifamily housing, which we're doing now with a Canadian developer led core and to develop our Hercules hub, which is walkable with bus train, the capital corridor stopping and hopefully the ferry. So three modes of transportation located next to multifamily housing, up to 1400 units, and then some other single family home neighborhoods in the area. So that's pretty exciting. And right now we are in the process of trying to get enough funding, about 12 million dollars total, to finish our complete design. We've been through all the environmental review and so forth, but we've got the backing of the capital corridor and we've just gotten two point four million from a transit intercity rail grant from the state of California. And we've got an application in for a federal grant. So if we can get that 12 million, then we can completely finish the design and we will be what's called shovel ready, which means when that happens, we can go out and construct and to build the train station will probably take about 100 million total, depending on when we do that. And once we build the train stop, then we will have access to the other side of the railroad tracks, which run right along the bayfront. And then we would hopefully get the ferry because we could have access out there and access out to the Hercules Point where the ferry could come in. We've already got bus service here now, so I'm just going around and making people aware of and getting folks interested in the Hercules hub. And we've had a number of officials from MTC, from WETA, the ferry, from a whole bunch of housing people. And when they come here, they say, oh, my gosh, I never knew that this existed. This is gorgeous. This is beautiful. You folks are actually building housing and with transportation. A lot of people talk about it, but we're actually going to do it. So I'm really excited about this. And that's great. And you sent me a good video earlier today about that, and we will put that in the show notes. It's a short video. It gives you some good images of what they're doing there. So I'll encourage listeners to go check that out. So I love it. Do you have water, land, rail in the plans? But you're one hundred million dollars short after you get the twelve million. Right. So that's a big round number. How do you get to that? First, we get the money for design. And then when we do that and we start to go through design and become shovel ready, then our consultants will help us go after actual grants for construction. And there are a number of grants that they have identified, federal grants, some state grants. And of course, the city will also supply some money for that. So it's just kind of piecing everything together. I've spoken with our congressperson, John Garamendi, also with Congressman Mark DeSaulnier, Congressman Mike Thompson, Assembly member Buffy Wicks, state senator Nancy Skinner. They're all on board and they're very helpful for us, as is Contra Costa Transportation Authority. They've already given us some money for this. And I have to say that several officials from MTC have come out and they're very excited and supported. So it's just a matter of working on that. But once we're shovel ready, then that will be a huge move forward.

The thing about Karen Bass, just a couple of years ago, she was talking about how great it is that Los Angeles is a sanctuary city. So this continues to be the political own goal of the decade. Well, Biden said COVID shots are coming back, like it or not. People want someone they know can already do the job. President Trump has done the job. We have the best economy of my lifetime. Everyone was doing better. The border was secure. And now, in the ReliefFactor .com studios, sitting in for Mike today, here's Kevin McCulloch. It is an honor to be back for my good friend, Mike Gallagher, a colleague here at the Salem Radio Network, and also someone who cares very much about what is happening to our country. Kevin McCulloch is my name. You can find me on the Salem News Channel and many of the same radio stations on Saturday nights at 9 o 'clock Eastern with that Kevin show. If you're local in the New York area, you can listen to me on AM 570 each weekday afternoon at 3 o 'clock, AM 970 the answer each weeknight at 7. And we have a lot of fun. My handle across all social media at that Kevin show. Please be in touch with me. I love to interact on the top stories of the day. We've got a lot to get to this morning. Yesterday, one of the judges in the federal trials that is the former president is going to face in upcoming months set the trial date for March 4th. This is in the special case against President Trump that Jack Smith is bringing the U .S. District Judge for the District Tanya Chutkin. Remember that name? It will live in infamy. She's rejected a proposal by the Trump defense team that the trial began in April of twenty twenty six long after the election. She instead set the date far closer to the one proposed by Smith and the government who wanted it on January 2nd. And if you happen to be a criminal attorney, please dial me eight hundred six five five Mike eight hundred six five five six four five three. I'd love to have some validation on this, but one of the one of the broadcasts I do here in New York for AM 970 the answer focuses on litigative issues every Thursday night. And we just talk legal stuff. I'm not a lawyer. I'm fascinated by the law. I think that lawyers that that proves a faithful service to their clients and to the government are are valuable people in our society. But I think it's interesting to see this chess match being played to the public in a way as though lawyers wouldn't know what was really going on here. So let me kind of break it down for you. You had the indictment and the the perp walk and the cuffing and the fingerprinting and all the stuff that they wanted to do to try to embarrass forty five. They had their moment in the in the sun to do that. And then they come back and they say, oh, we're we're going to go to trial quickly. We're going to put you on trial on the second of January. And Jack Smith said, Judge, you've got to put them on trial on the second of January. And the Trump team said, no, we're going to ask for twenty twenty six. And the judge comes back and says, no, no, no, no, we can't give you that much time to prepare. We're going to make sure that you're ready for trial by March the fourth. Now, of all the dates and all the calendars in all the world, March 4th is the day that she just happened to land on. I'm just I'm just looking at this calendar and I'm just seeing of all the choices and options that I have here. And you know what? I'm going to go with March the fourth for no reason whatsoever. Except that March 5th happens to be Super Tuesday. And there's however many states, twelve, fifteen, sixteen states in it. I forget the number. It's one of the most important days of the election calendar. This judge, Tonya Chutkin and and the prosecutor in the in the in the Georgia case are both embarrassing themselves. Fannie Willis and Tonya Chutkin are both embarrassing themselves because their behavior begets kindergartners on day one of preschool. Like it's they're not even in the in the class yet. And they're already like goofing around. Here's what happens between now and March 4th of next year. The Trump team will do a number of things in all of these cases, but they're going to they're going to be filing mainly, especially in the in the state cases for a couple of things. They're going to want those cases moved out of the Georgia state realm and they're going to want to put them into the federal realm because the federal system will be one that's easier to to manage and to and to kind of go through. But beyond that, there are a boatload of motions that will be being entered into the record between now and then that they are going to do everything from filing a motion to dismiss to filing an extension for discovery. And let me just let me just tell you on this on this alleged interference in the 2020 federal case that Jack Smith is doing out of D .C. It's my understanding that there are more than 12 million documents. That will be entered into the evidence, and this Tonya Chutkin joke, this this judge, this this joke of a judge laughed yesterday when told by the Trump team that for proper discovery to be allowed, there's no human way that they could sit and read 12 million pages between now and March 4th. And she just kind of giggled like, ha ha ha. Well, you've already you already know a bunch of the stuff that's in there. Ha ha ha. Friends. We talked about this yesterday. The left is trying to systematically dismantle America and they're starting to let the evil be seen. Right. That was my theme yesterday on the show. We talked about it for three hours. This is another example of that. There's there's this kind of open knowledge that this judge is dismissing. The normal procedures that what would be accustomed to any other criminal defendant, they're not going to allow President Trump. Why aren't they going to give him the same rights and the same protections that they would give a serial killer or a gang banger or anyone else? They're going to have to. And if the judge continues this kind of embarrassing behavior, chuckling at the people that are involved, chuckling at the requests that are made. She's there's a there's a there's a circuit court that oversees this court. And those judges have authoritative roles that they play over the over the sitting judge. That's that's in the court. That is Tonya Chuck him. And if they don't want to be embarrassed, if they don't want to have their circuit embarrassed, they will advise their underling to comport herself differently. But I just find it amazing that we're supposed to buy all of this. This is this is the great lie. They sit here and they pull this stuff and they and they set these unrealistic dates. And by the way, I'm going on the record. They would not have made a January 2nd start date. They're not going to make a March 4th start date. You had it is law. His he has a right to an informed defense. He has he has a right to have his defense know every piece of evidence that's going to be introduced as it's introduced before it's introduced. If the if the prosecution has had twelve point eight million documents in their possession and the defense is just receiving and being made aware of what they're going to introduce. They have to have time legally to not only understand what every document says, but they have to process it and comprehend the implication of what that document has to do with within the case. And then they have to have the right to prepare proper defense of those facts. This isn't a kangaroo court. We're not in a kangaroo nation. There are still laws. And I know these Obama judicial appointees and the Biden administration and the Justice Department all think it's hilarious. What's going to be hilarious is when they get their teeth slapped back at them by their their their upper judges and maybe eventually the Supreme Court, because they're such lunatics with how they're proceeding at current pace. Eight hundred six, five, five, Mike, eight hundred six, five, five, six, four, five, three. Take your calls right now. Eight hundred six, five, five, Mike, eight hundred six, five, five, six, four, five, three. Do you think that Trump will be in court on March 4th, the day before Super Tuesday next year? By the way, some of his fellow Republicans think that he will be. Chris Christie, the shameful, shameful behavior of Chris Christie in recent days coming right back. It's the Mike Gallagher show. Don't go away. Left leaning activists are attacking Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

SEC not coming out to Cardano. Charles Hoskinson whips it out online, explaining the SEC's continuous crackdown on crypto entities is political and has nothing to do with securities laws. Chuckie Ho Ho, founder of Cardano, believes the United States Securities Exchange Commission will not come after the project's native token, ADA. Interesting. He didn't say not him, but not ADA. OK, that's fine. During a recent YouTube interview on Corey Costa's crypto coins, shout out Corey Costa, a friend of ATB, Hosky pointed out that there has been no enforcement action against ADA so far. Hasn't there been a couple things where people delisted Cardano? Yeah, a lot of exchanges have delisted in anticipation that something happens, but nothing like there's like misinformation out there. I've actually talked to people who think that right now Cardano is in a lawsuit with the SEC and that is not true. Same. Same. Before we continue with the story, hit that like button. Drew, where are we at for likes, bro? Pull that mic down. Let the people hear your smooth dulcet tones. We got two hundred and eighty eight likes. Need to pump those numbers up. These are.

Subscribe to this channel. Leave a comment. Get active in chat, bro. Drew, give me a poll. Who won the debate last night? Poll the audience. Let's get it going. Krit Kratts, Nick Tator hosting very bullish for crypto. Heck yeah, baby. Let's keep on going. SEC is not coming after Ada in two recent lawsuits against the world's leading crypto exchanges. Coinbase and Binance. The SEC classified roughly twelve tokens, including Cardano and a bunch of other ones. Philcon. Yep, Philcon. Oh, Philcon. That's how you say it. Insisting they ought to be registered. Insisting. We're like stamping foot. Should be registered before being listed on exchanges. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and Harry's Razor's number one customer once disclosed that the agency had asked the exchange to delist all tokens except Bitcoin as they qualified securities. Isn't it weird that like last week. The CFTC said Bitcoin and Ethereum were both commodities. Yeah, I mean, what's what's the Gary wants control, Nick, but it's over, right? Like no one can serious. No one can take the SEC seriously if another agency says the thing that the SEC says is security is a commodity. I mean, I don't know if anyone has been taking the SEC seriously for a minute now, but we know Gary tries to fight with every weapon he has. And unfortunately, he still has a lot of weapons. They don't work very well, but he still uses them. Yeah, and it's the delay tactic. He wants to delay everything he can. Yeah, yeah. So someone said watching Nick is painful. Well, look. Pain and suffering makes you a better human being, OK? Reject comfort. Watch this stream while I host. All right. Who won the debate last night? Vivek Pence, DeSantis, Trump. I would have put Nikki in there instead of Pence because Pence was just like a buffoon. Anyways, SEC's move is political. Yeah, we know this. Cardano Boss said the one political party in the U .S. which received a lot of money from S .F .F. is trying to show that they are not corrupt. Hence, they have moved from being bipartisan and working with other parties to create crypto rules, to accusing everyone of being a bad actor in time to throw them behind bars. I'll disagree with Hosky here saying there really is only one party in the United States. OK, it's a uni -party system. There is no true opposition. OK, I would say that the Republicans and Fox News are controlled opposition. It's it's the two two wings on the same bird at this point. Would you agree or am I am I being a little too? Oh, no, it's it's extremely obvious the same people own both sides. And I've I've said this before. We've talked about this on Investing Bros that people don't need like I see too many people who are like, oh, if Fox says it, it must be true. And Fox is just a different kind of evil than CNN, but they're owned by the same people. The goal ultimate of Fox and CNN and MSNBC is to create chaos and anger because the everyday person in the United States has more in common than they want us to for sure. 100 percent. They want us to think that if you don't agree, if you're not a Republican, you are the evilest person in the world. If you're not a Democrat or Democrats, you're the evilest person in the world. And they make money by sowing this disunity. Yeah.

A highlight from NEW COVID VARIANT HERE NOW!! (What will crypto do?!)
"I think we all know that this video is going to be shadow banned and probably going to be removed by YouTube. But I'm going to speak my mind here and I'm going to show you what's actually going on because there is talk of a new COVID variant and I want to show you what's going on so that you're up to date and you know exactly what's happening. I know you think I may be blowing things out of proportion, but just just have a look here and tell me what what you make of this COVID is making a comeback this summer. So many of us would like to leave it in the past, but cases are once again on the rise. So when will new booster shots roll out? And Thompson asked the CDC director. So COVID is on the rise, but when will the new booster shot be out? Does that remind you of anything? Does that maybe remind you of of the old COVID, the old COVID lockdowns? What's going on here? What are the what are the the the motives here? Why is this coming back and why is this coming back right now? Is there actually a new variant? What is it all about? We're going to speak about that. We're also going to speak about Bitcoin because look, Bitcoin's under the 26 ,000 level. It's not really an emergency just yet, but the real like emergency I would say is if you look at total three, which is the total alt market cap, excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum, and that is now back at levels of just after the FTX collapse. So this is where the FTX collapse was. And if you look at where total three is, this is where total three is. It's the same levels as it was just after the FTX collapse. Now, the question is, what is the future of of this altcoin market? What's it what's it going to do? What's it going to do in the near future? And speaking of COVID, if you look at the Bitcoin RSI, which is the sentiment indicator on Bitcoin, you can see that the RSI are so oversold that the last time that the RSI were oversold is here at this previous COVID low, which where Bitcoin was 3 ,875. So I mean, is this a coincidence that the two COVID lows are or the two RSI lows was at the previous COVID pandemic, beginning of the previous COVID pandemic? And this one again is at the beginning of the new COVID pandemic. We're going to talk about that. Also, a big day today on the NASDAQ, because today we have Nvidia reporting results. You can see Nvidia has had a huge tear this year. I mean, a lot of people actually talk about this rally being the AI rally and the stock that has led the AI rallies in video and they're reporting earnings today. If the earnings if Nvidia's earnings beat forecast, then NASDAQ rallies and probably continues to rally towards an all time high. disappoints If Nvidia today, then we probably see a 5 % correction in the NASDAQ. And then you're going to get the bears coming out and saying that this is we're entering a bear market. So big day today on the NASDAQ. Also, we're going to cross over to BRICS to see what's happening in BRICS. I know that Vladimir Putin spoke. He spoke about the dollarization. The Brazilian prime minister spoke about the dollarization. So we'll touch on that. And then I'm going to show you some tokens that I'm actually looking to buy. Now, I want to just say I'm not buying yet. I'm getting ready to buy. I'll show you what the tokens are and why I'm getting ready to buy. And I know you're probably looking at this and going, are you crazy talking about buying tokens when the market's like this? But that's what I'm going to show you. I'm going to show you my rationale and my thinking. So lots to do today. Let's get in. How scary to think that the IRS is actually back at pre -COVID levels, that the sentiment is actually back at pre -COVID levels in the last time that this happened, Bitcoin was at three thousand eight hundred and forty dollars. And I think we then had a rally of seventeen hundred percent. Yeah, sixteen hundred seventeen hundred percent rally after the IRS eyes were this low. So I wonder if the pattern is actually going to repeat itself. Also, I wonder if we're going to get lockdowns again. I wonder what the motives are. In fact, I don't wonder. I'm going to show you what I think the motives are for this this new whisper of COVID lockdowns about a year and a bit before the elections. I mean, look, it's definitely coincidental. There can't be there can't be anything else to it. It has to be coincidental. So we're going to talk about that. We're going to talk about the Binance FUD, because I think that's that's something we talk about. Yeah, lots to talk about, lots to talk about. So listen, if you are new to the channel, obviously subscribe, subscribe, subscribe to our channel, the fastest growing major channel in crypto. If you have been here for a long time, you know the show is going to get shadowbanned. I know the show is going to get shadowbanned. We spent the whole morning deciding whether we wanted to actually talk about that. And we decided that we would rather bring you the truth and not get censored. And if we lose views or if the channel takes a bit of a knock, so what? And the only way I can you can help me get out of this is smashing the like, putting positive comments and helping us get completely, completely, completely unshadowbanned. All right. So let's get into the meat and potatoes of the show. So, yeah, let's quickly look at this. So we've got Sheldon was showing me the Bitcoin chart today, showing me something quite scary. I don't know if I if I actually believe him, but he says, look, if you look at where this rally in twenty seventeen, the rally that took us out of this started, you can say the rally in twenty in twenty eighteen actually started in, say, twenty fourth of December. If you look at where this year's rally started, pretty much more or less the same time, twenty third, twenty fourth of December. Then he says, OK, when did we top? When did we top on this? They can let you can say, look, we topped somewhere around twenty fourth of June or near July. And if you look at this, when did we actually top somewhere around June or July? And he's saying, look, we are following this trend. We are following the cycle. If we do follow the cycle, we could have quite a long way to go before we get to the same levels here. And I do think that we are following the cycle. I want to actually show you. So if we look at the pre -harving cycles, I don't think there's anything different in in the cycles. You can see that we have a a downtrend, we have an uptrend, we have a reaccumulation zone. And then as we get to the halving from the halving, we really start climbing. So I don't know if this year is going to be that different. It looks like the cycle, as much as I hate to say it, it does look like the cycle is is playing out very similar, very similar to two previous cycles. We're also getting in the cycle while this is all happening, we are getting the short term holders capitulating. So if you look at the short term holder, the short term holders, they completely, completely, completely capitulated while the smart money is actually starting to accumulate at this level, at this level of the cycle. And what you see now is you're seeing a whole lot of FUD on Altcoin. So no, Benjamin Khan saying, look, there is a chance that, you know, Solana goes back to eight dollars. I've seen the bear saying that that we could go back to to to a Bitcoin price of nine dollars, nine thousand dollars and twelve thousand dollars. Remember that in this part of the cycle, in the bear part of the cycle, the bears get to be right and they get to tell you that they're right just for like a short period of time because bears will keep calling the market down. They'll keep telling you that Bitcoin is going down to twelve thousand and whatever else. And they'll be right for like short periods of time. But long, long periods of time, they won't be right because the market will just continue to go up and continue to go up. So let them enjoy their moment in the sand. I have been actually looking at the rainbow chart now. You know, I mean, initially I was obviously very, very, very skeptical of the rainbow chart. How the rainbow chart works is it tells you whether Bitcoin is overbought over here. Yeah, it's like maximum bubble territory, serious set of FOMO intensifies. Is this a bubble huddle? Still cheap, accumulated by and basically a fire cell. And as much as, you know, initially I was quite skeptical about the rainbow chart. If you look at it over a long period of time, it actually is quite right. And you can see that right now we're entering the we're in the buy zone and we're entering the basically a fire cell. So there's not actually that much panic on Bitcoin at the moment. Sentiment is bad, but it's not like it's not extreme fear. People are scared, but people aren't very, very scared. And that's why I'm not really ready to start buying old coins yet, because I think that there'll be better opportunities. I'm not saying don't start dollar cost averaging, but don't spend all your money now. And the reason why you probably shouldn't spend all your money now is because we're not at the point where people are panicking. People are getting demotivated. People are getting depressed. But remember that that's what this part of the cycle is designed to do. This part of the cycle is designed to depress you. That's why it's called the depression phase. Now, if we are here and we do have this accumulation left to go, I really hope that the accumulation isn't as long as the previous accumulation, because you can see that it took about a year and a half from that point to get to the same level in the last cycle. I don't think we're there, but I mean, you do need to prepare yourself for a marathon and you do need to prepare yourself to take maybe a little bit more losses if we follow the previous cycle. Be that as it may, as I said, I think I'm in the camp of this rainbow chart, which basically says, look, when prices start coming down to the bottom here, when they start reaching this oversold territory, just keep accumulating slowly. But the main thing is stay in the game, because I showed you that I showed you this here. I'll show it to you again. The main thing is that you've got to be here when these one, two, three, four, five days happen and one, two, three, four, five, six days happen and one, two, three, four, five, six days happen. The whole increase in the price of Bitcoin, 100 percent increase was here over 24 days, eight, eight and eight or seven, seven and seven. So I think you've got to be here. You've got to be here when this happens. So don't get demotivated now. Don't give up now. Now is probably the best time to to actually be accumulating. And I'll show you a bit later what it is that I'm actually accumulating and why I'm actually accumulating it, because a lot of people were talking to me about my tweet yesterday. Let's look at the bubbles. Oh, I'm loving the bubbles, Josh, I must say, and actually, to be honest, it's actually not only me loving the bubbles. I see Kasper is down seven point two eight today, maybe getting into my buy zone. Not yet. Not yet. Robert also down six point five three, also not in my buy zone yet. I mean, as I said, I am loving the bubbles. For those of you who don't know, there is a morning banter research call. Just click on newsroom over here. You'll see that we have a call in 17 hours added to your calendar and then you can join our morning research call. Also, if you want to search for a token, like, for example, if you don't know where Solana is, just search and you'll see it actually starts flashing. So we've built that functionality. And I think a lot of people are starting to notice bubbles today and now you can see earlier yesterday who's back streaming, by the way. And I actually I love his videos. So he he was also one of the people that really helped me when I when I started banter. He was one of the guys that like really, really helped me with the channel. So good to see him streaming again. And yesterday on his stream, he actually spoke about banter bubbles. Let's get to a really good tool. This tool was created by Crypto Banter. It's called the Banter Bubbles. And I want to be clear here. If you've been on crypto Twitter or if you follow this industry closely, none of these names will be a shock to you because these have all been talked about a lot on crypto Twitter. I'm not the first person talking about any of these. But one thing I think is really easy is you go to the banter bubbles here and you go ahead and you set it over to the year. And this gives you the highest performing tokens over the last year. And you can also say top one hundred, top two hundred. So good to see that other streamers are actually starting to to notice banter bubbles.

A highlight from 1379: Bitcoin Will Reach $400,000 Next Halving Epoch
"In today's show, we're going to be discussing Bitcoin analysts eyeing a V -shape Bitcoin price bounce as the RSI hits a five -year low. I'm also going to be sharing with you a new Bitcoin bull cycle metric, which bought them before 70 % gains. We'll also be discussing mysterious Bitcoin wallet becomes the third largest Bitcoin hodler in under three months, now at over $3 billion. We'll also be discussing the trader who nailed the 2018 Bitcoin price floor predicts the bear market bottom for crypto. I'll be breaking down his outlook. We'll also be discussing Guggenheim predicts a $400 ,000 Bitcoin price prediction, as well as Blockware. They share that the Bitcoin price can reach $400 ,000 during the next halving epoch. I'll be breaking this down for you. We'll also be taking a look at the overall crypto market, all this plus so much more in today's show. Yo, what's good, crypto fam? This is first and foremost, a video show. So if you want the full premium experience with video, visit my YouTube channel at Cryptonewsalerts .net. Again, that's Cryptonewsalerts .net. Welcome, everyone. Just joining us. This is podcast episode number thirteen hundred and seventy nine. I'm your host, JV. And today is August twenty second, twenty twenty three. And naturally, we have lots to cover. Unfortunately, the market is continuing on its downward spiral. We just broke that twenty six K resistance, as you can see here. And our market watch, we've got Bitcoin currently hovering just above twenty five thousand eight hundred dollars. We have Ether barely holding on to sixteen hundred. So the million dollar question becomes, how low will she go? And checking out CoinMarketCap .com, the crypto market cap barely holding on to that trillion dollar milestone, with about twenty eight billion in volume. In the past twenty four hours, we have the Bitcoin dominance at forty eight point four percent and the Ether dominance at eighteen point nine percent. And checking out the top one hundred crypto gainers for the past week, virtually nothing, and maybe just a handful, just a sea of losses, very unfortunate for the entire crypto market and checking out the crypto greed and fear index. Of course, we're still in fear today, rated to seventy eight. Last week was a fifty three neutral and last month a fifty four neutral as well. So there you have it. I mean, I've been taking advantage of this recent dip. I mean, sub twenty six thousand dollar Bitcoin seems like a bargain. If you're to ask me, let me know in that live chat. And now let's break down today's Bitcoin technical analysis and check out the charts and what is happening right now in the markets. Bitcoin stayed stubbornly anti trend today, August twenty second, as twenty six thousand became a magnet for the intraday Bitcoin price action. And again, we're just currently dropping right below it. And regarding the RSI readings, here's what someone had to share. At this stage, it feels like a game of chicken to see who is going to make the move to break the chop, according to material indicators. Now analyzing liquidity on the Binance order book, he also notes that a broad lack of liquidity, increasing the potential for a sharp move in either direction. Quitting the analysts here, the market is waiting to see if more bid or more ask liquidity is going to be attracted to the range. So far, we're seeing small amounts of bid liquidity ladder up from twenty thousand closer to the active trading zone, but no liquidity of any size new or moved has been stacked into the range, defending the price from the lower low. The implications were nonetheless potentially very serious for the bulls with the lower low apt to risk even a twenty thousand support going forward. Quitting the analysts again, needless to say, printing a lower low on this time frame has macro implications. Printing two lower lows would push the Bitcoin price to sub twenty thousand dollar levels. So a great question. How many of you are anticipating the Bitcoin price action dropping below twenty thousand? Let me know. Now zooming out, hope remain that Bitcoin can rescue its overall uptrend. So it's not all doom and gloom. In a dedicated video, we had crypto analyst Mikal van de Poppe shared that on the twelve hour time frames, the RSI measured less than nineteen at the time of writing near its lowest level since the twenty eighteen bear market bottom. Daily levels were similar, reaching their lowest since the March twenty twenty no vid crossmarket crash, quitting him here. Every time we see such a move, you get a sort of V shape recovery back up and it finds equilibrium on the higher floor. And he also added it was very likely that Bitcoin can stage a comeback to focus on twenty six five or more next as the outlines here in this chart. He also shared that the current Bitcoin price action reminds me of September twenty twenty absorption and slowly grind higher here for a while. And I can see this play out similarly. So there you have it. What are your thoughts? Do you feel we're likely to continue downwards, potentially sub twenty thousand or even touch in as low as twenty thousand? Or do you feel we're likely to continue climbing back up as the analysts on the ladder shared? Let me know your honest thoughts in the comments. Right down below. Now let's discuss a new bull cycle amongst us right now. Shall we check this out? The Bitcoin metric that nailed the pit of the twenty twenty two bear market says this uptrend is still intact. Let's go and a new post. The creator of on chain analytics platform looking to Bitcoin shared some good news in the form of Bitcoin's realized cap huddle waves metric. Let's go. While last week's 10 percent Bitcoin price dip has up ended some of the on chain landscape, the our huddle is one of the metrics taking the longer term view of what remains a timely bull market. This metric takes existing huddle waves data, which groups the Bitcoin supply when each coin or specifically the unspent transaction outputs last moved and waits it by the realized price. An example of the price at which it last move, quoting them here, peaks in younger age bands, highlights the periods where they have a proportionally higher realized value waiting relative to the older realized value age band, said Philip Swift. And he also shares this is important to note, as it indicates that the market is prepared to pay higher values for Bitcoin today and in recent times versus historical norms. This can be a good indicator that the market is becoming overheated. What are your thoughts now? Currently, the bands of coins that last moved three to six months ago are rising, a phenomenon coming to the start of the Bitcoin's previous bull markets. And on the topic of the August drawdown on Bitcoin Swift thus concluded that the recent price dip is the context of a much bigger bull trend, quoting him again here, three to six months band trending up as new money comes back into the market equals new bull cycle. Let's go. Now, our huddle has an impressive record when it comes to Bitcoin price phases. Back in December of last year, when Bitcoin was circling its two year lows of 15 six, which is the current market bottom, Swift used this metric to call the end of the euphoria among Bitcoin's speculative investor cohort, which he labels Taurus. He stated that that time that the market is likely now at these cycle lows, which means maximum risk reward opportunity, which I discussed in great detail yesterday. I said there's way more reward than risk currently in the market. And beginning in January of this year, Bitcoin began a new uptrend that delivered 70 percent gains just in quarter one. And since then, investor composition has changed with the short term huddler entities holding Bitcoin for one hundred and fifty five days or less, reducing their overall exposure to their lowest since November of twenty twenty one. And the latest dip nonetheless increased pressure on those remaining speculators, but almost 90 percent of the short term huddler coins now held at an unrealized loss. But I also like to point out that also the smart money, which are the whales, are continuing to accumulate. So even though the short term investors are the paper hands selling their Bitcoin potentially to BlackRock or MicroStrategy, whatever big corporate interests out there, the smart money is continuing to huddle. And as you know, we like to follow the smart money with that being shared, fam. Now let's discuss this new wallet, which came out of nowhere and has now accrued over three billion dollars worth of Bitcoin in less than three months. Who do you think owns this wallet? Well, let's look into it and discuss it, shall we? A mysterious Bitcoin wallet has surged up the ranks to become the third largest huddler of Bitcoin in the world in just over three months, with the timing sparking some wild theories about its owner. According to data from crypto statistics platform Bitinfo Charts, the wallet address first received Bitcoin on March 8th, and over the course of the next three months and two weeks, the wallet had accrued a staggering one hundred and eighteen thousand BTC worth over a billion dollars at today's current prices. Now, the rapid and significant accrual of Bitcoin within a single wallet addresses has attracted its fair share of conjecture naturally on X. Some users suggest it's most likely a crypto exchange moving their funds, while some more radical members have posted and more wild theories suggesting that Black Rock is the prime suspect. As shared here, this unknown address has accumulated over three billion dollars worth of Bitcoin in the last three months. The prime suspect, my first major transaction, which was thirty four hundred Bitcoin, occurred on May 16th, 2023, almost exactly one month later, on June 15th, when Black Rock filed for spot Bitcoin ETF. Now, very interesting, right? Now, the current largest Bitcoin wallets in the world, according to Bitinfo Charts, are reportedly owned by Binance and Bitfinex and are Bitcoin cold storage wallets. The unknown Bitcoin wallet comes in third place and is then followed by another Binance cold wallet in fourth place. Now, Black Rock made waves in the crypto market, as we know, June 15th, filing an application for the spot Bitcoin ETF product that, if accepted by the SEC, will be the first of its kind in the United States and completely change the game. Black Rock's applications sparked a wave of filings for similar spot products from a horde of other Wall Street heavyweights, including Fidelity, Invesco, Wisdom Tree and Valkyrie. The prospect of a spot Bitcoin ETF whipped crypto analysts into a frenzy, sharing their bullish predictions for the price of Bitcoin with Fundstrat's head of research, Tom Lee, suggesting that Bitcoin can reach a price of one hundred and fifty to one hundred and eighty thousand dollars per coin following the halving event scheduled to be in April 2024, which is now officially less than nine months out. What are your thoughts, though, fam? Let me know in the comments. And at the end of the show, I'll be reading everyone's comments out loud. Now let's discuss before we get into very bullish price targets, including this four hundred thousand dollar prediction, which is the main topic for the day. First, let's discuss where's the Bitcoin price likely to bottom out, according to this top analyst. Let's discuss it. The trader who accurately called Bitcoin's twenty eighteen bear market bottom is forecasting how the entire crypto market can carve a price floor for this cycle. Synonymous analyst Bluntz, what a username, love it, shared on social media X that he closely is looking at the total market cap of crypto, which is the total chart. Bluntz says he sees the total chart losing about 15 percent of its value before crypto assets can witness a significant bounce, quitting him here, looking at total paints, the clearest picture of them all and far more than looking at either ETH or BTC on their own based off the total chart. I do believe the June lows still need to be swept before calling bottoms, but it will probably be the last good buying opportunity of the next few years. So seize the moment, fam. And as you can see in this total crypto market chart, you can see we're currently sitting at just barely above one trillion. He sees us dropping before rising to one point four trillion dollars. So it appears that he expects the total market cap of all crypto to plummet to roughly eight hundred and eighty billion, wiping out one hundred and twenty billion off the current market. The analyst is a popular practitioner of the Elliott Wave theory, which we commonly cover here, an advanced technical analysis approach that attempts to predict the future price action by following crowd psychology that tends to manifest in waves. Bluntz says that his prediction is based on a model that outlines an asset's potential correction after a steep rally based, quoting him here, based off simple Elliott Wave model, viewing the rise from the lows as an impulsive move and our corrective wave from the highs being around 70 to 80 percent complete. Now, let me know if you agree or disagree with the crypto analyst. Do you think the crypto market cap needs to shed another one hundred and twenty billion before we rise back on up? Let me know your honest thoughts in the comments right down below. Now let's discuss Guggenheim's seven I'm sorry, four hundred thousand dollar price prediction. Scott Minard, who is their CIO. He originally made this prediction, I believe towards the end of twenty twenty one. Now, unfortunately, he has had a heart attack and he passed, so he's no longer with us. He literally died in December of last year. But nonetheless, he still made this prediction. So we're going to cover it and then we're going to discover the outline metrics from Blockware and their four hundred thousand prediction for the height of this cycle for the next halving reaching the epoch, which is also interesting because they're also suggesting a four hundred thousand dollar price action per coin. Then we'll dive into our live Q &A. So here we go. This was again, this article was dated, as you can see here, January 18th, twenty twenty one. So this is roughly just over two years ago. And at that time, Bitcoin was trading just above forty one thousand dollars. So here's the prediction coming from Scott Minard, from Guggenheim, a large, large asset manager. I think one thing that we are seeing is the sudden interest in retail. We are moving into a speculative frenzy and perhaps it's time to take some money off the table. Now, the debate around Minard's two opposite comments for Bitcoin sparked curiosity amongst the crypto community when he said time to take money off the table. And he also added on this tweet, it was before it became X, it was right Twitter. So he shared Bitcoin's parabolic rise is unsustainable in the near term, vulnerable to a setback. The target technical upside of thirty five thousand has been exceeded time to take some money off the table. And just at that time when he made that tweet, Bitcoin entered a strong correction. And over that time, Bitcoin tested support at thirty thousand twice before resuming back northwards and also talking about the positive side, back to the four hundred thousand price prediction. The Guggenheim CIO said that Bitcoin is becoming a favorable asset class slowly. That's right. And still remains positive on the Bitcoin price action for the long term, quitting him here. The other side of that is demonstrating that crypto is becoming much more mainstream. The four hundred thousand dollar price I talked about was based off the supply of gold in the world and crypto in a lot of ways is more attractive than gold. Let me know if you agree or disagree. I absolutely agree that Bitcoin is way more attractive than gold and comparing it to the yellow metal market. Minard said that Bitcoin comes with additional benefits like portability and ease of transactions. And note that Guggenheim Partners is already seeking five hundred million dollars worth of exposure to Bitcoin via the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, which is the GBTC product, the largest HODLer Bitcoin in the world. They currently control over four hundred thousand BTC. So this will be a 10 percent exposure to Bitcoin from five billion Guggenheim's macro opportunities fund. The investment giant's proposed SEC filing shall become effective January 31st. And when asked Minard of if any of their funds have been allocated into Bitcoin, Minard hinted that they are still waiting for the SEC to approve their proposal. He added that if client demand picks up, they would possibly consider some allocations. And he also revealed that some small private Guggenheim funds have done some allocations, quoting him again, and some of our private funds, we have already purchased it. I recommended it to somebody. So if you believe what I said, that it'll go to four hundred thousand dollars per coin eventually, then two percent of your portfolio will be 20 percent before this is all over. So there you have it. Let me know if you agree or disagree with Scott Minard. And again, rest in peace. The dude had a heart attack at the end of last year and is no longer with us. And with that being shared now for our main story of the day, and that's the block where outline prediction of a four hundred thousand dollar Bitcoin price, along with the math to back it up. Now, this is pretty awesome. And again, shout out to everyone today in our live chat. I appreciate everyone's support. Shout out to Blockware Solutions as they shared on X how Bitcoin can reach four hundred thousand dollars per coin during the next halving epoch brought to you by Blockware Intelligence. Here we go. Twenty twenty four halving analysis, understanding the market cycles and opportunities created by the halving. Unlike other commodities, Bitcoin has a predetermined algorithmic supply schedule, which cannot be changed. There are multiple factors contributing to the cyclical nature of Bitcoin's price, including network adoption and the macroeconomic environment. But the most impactful is the mining subsidy halving. Yeah, that's right. Bitcoin's market cycles are unique due to its fully transparent block chain, providing market participants with more granular information than any other asset class. And moreover, the predictable supply schedule further impacts the psychology of market participants and example demand. So number one, halving's reduce the sell pressure. Miners are the primary force of sell pressure on the price of Bitcoin they receive, although the newly issued Bitcoin and the majority of which they must sell in order to fund operating expenses for their mining operations, the weakest miners on the network are eliminated and sell pressure is significantly reduced. The price of Bitcoin begins drifting up and a new wave of adoption then begins and assuming a thirty five thousand price action after the halving, the U .S. dollar value of Bitcoin mined per year can drop from eleven and a half billion to five point seven billion dollars. That is one hundred and sixty four thousand two hundred and fifty Bitcoin less mined every year, more than MicroStrategy's entire Bitcoin treasury. Now, after the inefficient miners capitulate, the profit margin increases for surviving miners, which further reduces the sell pressure. So based on the post capitulation hashrate estimate, this would result in a two point three billion dollar reduction in annual sell pressure from the miners. Now, number two, halving brings new demand with supply being diminished. Demand is the only remaining variable determining the market price of BTC. Many market participants understand the supply side dynamics at play due to the halvings. Historically, this has led to a surge in demand in the months following each halving, as evidenced by on chain data. We'll be checking out these charts in a little bit and do the positive sentiment market participants prepare to deploy capital at the first sign of upward momentum. Now decreased supply plus increased demand equals strong positive signal for the price appreciation. Number three, the halvings cannot be priced in. Despite their predictable nature, halvings cannot be fully priced in before they occur. A higher price today would result in more miners coming online, introducing additional sell pressure and limiting the price appreciation. And moreover, the weakest miners, those with old generation machines and or high operating costs, are the first to unplug post halving. The elimination of these miners significantly reduces the sell pressure as they were selling most of their Bitcoin to fund their operations. Lastly, there are some market participants that believe halvings are bad for the security of the Bitcoin network as the diminishing block subsidy reduces the amount of miners making Bitcoin more vulnerable to an attack. And when halving successfully occur, these doubters are proved wrong and positive sentiment increases. Now, number four, Bitcoin cycle volatility and historical performance. Bitcoin's extreme volatility is a side effect of its halving shocks and rapid global adoption, resulting in four distinct stages within each halving cycle. Stage one, the halving, stage two, the bull market, stage three, the bear market and then stage four, recovery. And while Bitcoin is often criticized for its extreme volatility on a long enough time horizon, its volatility is solely to the upside. Keep that in mind. Now, nobody who has ever bought Bitcoin and held it for more than five years is down on their purchase. That's worth repeating. Nobody who has ever bought Bitcoin and held it for more than five years is down on their purchase. So in a long term, how long is that? Holla in the live chat. And for each epoch, the price of Bitcoin has increased by the following amounts from the halving to the next bull market top from 2009 to 2011. We had a 584 X increase in price action from 2012 to 2015, 92 X from 2016 to 2019, 30 X and from 2020 to 2024, 7 .7 X. And now number five, diminishing returns may not be the case going forward. Some question the bullishness of these halvings as the stock of existing Bitcoin grows relative to the amount of new bitcoins being mine. This is a common perspective, but it may be incorrect. Less than 10 percent of the existing Bitcoin have moved in the last month. A large majority of Bitcoin is held by users unwilling to sell at today's price. Now, the small amount of bitcoins that is moving and being traded is what determines today's price. There is a baseline of demand and from Bitcoin are saving for the future. The reduction in sell pressure becomes more pronounced, each halving after Bitcoin more than doubles in price. This indicates that halving induced reductions in sell pressure could become more extreme and potentially lead to larger bull runs in the future. Now, 2024 will be the first halving where the supply of Bitcoin available for trade decreased since the previous halving. And during spring of 2020, the percentage of the outstanding Bitcoin available for trade was at an all time high, indicating the Bitcoin was over becoming more abundant. However, this trend had reversed over the last three and a half years. And as the new bull market begins, there will be less Bitcoin available than the previous cycles. The first halving this has ever occurred. And assuming the price of thirty five thousand at the date of the halving, a four hundred thousand dollar cycle top would break the trend of diminishing returns, which is a reasonable expectation due to the two billion having supply shock and increasing scarcity, a liquid BTC supply on the exchanges. Now, number six, juxtaposition with gold. Gold is an asset similar to Bitcoin and that they are both non -sovereign stores of value. However, when juxtaposed, Bitcoin poses far more desirable attributes. Facts. Number one, Bitcoin is absolutely scarce, while gold is only relatively scarce. That's true because with gold, you can continue mining a new supply, adding to the overall supply each and every year with Bitcoin. There could never be more than twenty one million Bitcoin. And number two, Bitcoin is more portable, divisible, fungible and is less vulnerable to rehypothecation by centralized custodians. Facts. So after the 2024 halving, the inflation rate of Bitcoin will fall under one percent, which is less than half that of gold. Now, four hundred thousand dollars per Bitcoin would put the market cap of Bitcoin just beneath the parity with gold. Let's go. Can't wait for a twelve trillion market cap for the king crypto personally. Now, given the bullish catalysts induced by the halving, we believe this is a fair estimate for the top of the coming Bitcoin cycle. Now let's take a look at some of these charts, which they shared. This first one shows you the Bitcoin price issuance with the 90 day moving 90 day change issuance. And you can see, you know, the different metrics here in the different colors. And then let's go to their next chart here. It shows you entities net growth with a 30 day moving average. You can see the surge in demand and just continuing to move on up like clockwork. And then in this final chart here, we can see the Bitcoin price all time highs for each cycle, which is separated, which you can see here. Yes. So, I mean, if history doesn't repeat, oftentimes it shall rhyme. So I cannot wait. And I'd personally love to see a four hundred thousand dollar price action. And this shows you the hash rate, which just continues to climb, reaching all time highs, making the Bitcoin network more secure than it's ever been before. And they also shared an interesting update, which I might as well read that as well right here. Part two. Let's read a touch of this and then we'll dive into our live Q &A. What machine and electricity rate will Bitcoin miners need to survive this twenty twenty four halving? Check it out. There are three distinct phases in the time before, during and after the twenty twenty four Bitcoin halving. We've got number one, the pre halving, number two, the post halving and number three, post capitulation. Number one, the pre halving before the twenty twenty four halving, all miners will be operating at a profit but are likely selling at least enough Bitcoin to cover their operation expenses. Miners with the most efficient machines and the lowest energy rates have the lowest Bitcoin breakeven prices. And the miners with higher breakeven prices are either unprofitable or forced to sell at a higher percentage of the Bitcoin that they mine in order to cover their operating expenses. And also it includes what's minor and Avalon equivalents, which are size adjusted for the percentage of the total network hash rate. Now let's discuss the post halving after the twenty twenty four halving. Many miners will become unprofitable since miners have already made significant capital expenditures for mining Bitcoin infrastructure and are locked into energy contracts. They are unlikely to turn off immediately. So instead, they will try to continue operating for as long as possible, hoping the Bitcoin increases enough to make them profitable again. Now, unless Bitcoin price appreciates quickly, the extreme margin compression will begin to force inefficient miners offline. And number three, the post capitulation following the capitulation of inefficient miners difficulty will adjust down, lowering the breakeven prices for surviving miners who will become even more profitable. So there you have it. I mean, shout out again to Blockware. Awesome analysis on their outline of the Bitcoin price going to four hundred thousand dollars per coin at the epoch of the next halving, which again is right around the corner next year.

There is football tara's thirty first eleven twenty two f. y. for butler year equal to may twentieth twenty eight seventy nine bc earthier the age of civilization info. Bella was a period of great discovery when people started to grow out of the nomadic hunter gatherer society of the primitive creation age and stay in one place to construct homes and pull together as a community but communities have their problems. The first thousand years of bella were ruled by chaos as lawlessness tribal chiefs were mostly made up of the biggest strongest male specimens of the tribe. Who had no business. Being in charge of anything then along came mesa mesa was a harvey angel while we are more familiar with angels being holy messengers of government. The angels fabella are not spiritual beings in any way shape or form. They are just the female sex offender. Bellas bird people however mesa does look quite the part of a messenger of god with hair the colour of sunlight and pearly white wings. Not at all well drained because beauty in this illustration age of abella is not a priority. Her golden hair is a tangled mess. Their stuff trapped in it girl needs a bath and you can see every speck of dirt on her wings. Mesa is a gatherer for her tribe of harpies every day she flies away from the tribes home on the slopes of mount. Carry dan in their red winter. Mountains of afla are to gather food from the rainforests don below before flying back to the highlands. One day as mesa is forming her job. She hears a chorus of voices. Whisper in here ear. The voices keep repeating the same craze over and over place on race of either missile. Looks around for where the voices could have come from. But she's alone. Still the disembodied voices. Keep repeating the same phrase. How shall not place up unable to stand the torment any longer. Mesa asks a fellow angel gatherer. If she can hear the voices her friend says no asks what mesa is hearing only wind. Musa repeats. the phrase shot not place one's race above others do the voices style. The next day she receives another repeating directive from this chorus mesa repeats of freeze as well to avoid hearing it endlessly throughout the day though shelter. Not place once power of the holy spirit. This is enough for mesa to seize upon the theory that changes the entire trajectory of her life. She is hearing the voice of god specifically lord lucas the holy god of all that is good and righteousness in fabella. Lucas rarely speaks to anybody. And it's been centuries since he's appeared in person. Musa never sees lucas in person but day after day for the next ten days she keeps hearing a chorus of voices all giving her the same directive. Shout not comment. How shout honor guardians shop. Not god's meese repeat only. These freezes to her tribe members and start to gain from knowing this greatly irks the chiefs and male leadership of mount caradon the order her to stop creating such trouble but mesa continues repeating the word of god shalt not cease education thou shalt not speak in dark tongues thou shalt the community fed up with all the trouble that she's been creating the harpies of mount caradon expel her from the tribe. Mesa is away with her disciples to seto her own tribal colony. She calls her people the order of halo and they become a group of monk like people dedicated to communing with lord lucas and upholding directives given to them by their lord of light. Mesa goes down in history as the first recorded. Prophet as for these phrases. Taro's thirty i mean the day. Mesa received all twelve directives which he spread to the order of halo as the twelve commandments. Thou shalt not plays race above others. Thou shalt not place one's power above the holy spirit thou shalt not commit murder thou shalt honor thi- guardians thou shalt not hoard worldly goods thou shalt not education thou shalt not speak in dark tongues thou shalt honor thy community thou shalt not betray thy partner thou shalt not prey upon the weakness of others thou shalt not display ones sacred body thou shalt not commune with the dead.

I definitely would like to give my eros from the alchemist from the weapon. Smith wral That had the notches in them. For the cartridges. How many did you order a dozen. That's right The weapons smith is. They're taking away at looks like mason swords. Probably getting prepared for the tournament doesn't look at you fact doesn't even notice you're their 'cause during your cloak so you won't notice anything unless you say something this time i'm kind of nice to him As i come in. I opened the door but then i kind of like knock on the door like make. Some noise turns around and looks and he sees you welcome back. I have those areas. You wanted again. Yeah and he hands you a quiver of a dozen arrows slotted for something little vials or something. There looks like they're you had barbed arrowheads right like hooked arrowheads and there is a couple grooves. That looks like you could fit something round and cylindrical just back from the arrowhead into the shaft is like they will do nicely. I certainly hope so. You did all right. Do the alchemists. It is an easy trek to the alchemist. People subconsciously. Move out of your way. Nobody's slows you down make a perception check. No sorry Make a deck safe eight eight number. Now they're not trying to surprise me right. Because i can't be surprised. No they're just trying to shoot at you and don't you have a thing. Where if you fail a deck save you take have What happens if you fell the deck safe. I'm looking instead of taking full damage. You take half damage ads. You have that as a rogue uncanny dodge so throwing dagger twice as bhai and you in the arm for one damage and it sticks in the ground at your feet outs A angle of the blade. It looked like it came from above you on the roadways. I look up to see if i see anybody juicy bianca dammit looking down at you i. This is not the time where you as a way to. I'm on my way to the alchemist. Damn following you. She's been harassing her all day since last night remember the arrow she shot and the alleyways I try to find a spot that i can like. Go back and hide or you don't have to. She slowly turns around and jumps along the roof of the roadways. She's not trying to kill you. She's just trying to harass you before the fight tonight. She is expecting you to be there other than that. You can make your way to the alchemist. Only only bianca was harassing you. Just a little. I go to the ball bandaid out. You know bus born i. It was just a cut just like san. I'll also make my way to the alchemist. All right You make it. Their doors closed below or anything when bell l. a for ring and ahead at row hard thing. And then the alchemist comes out from behind his shop. His hair is a little fritz and frazzled. Certain under smoking. It's like he's been working with explosive compounds and he says welcome back i just finished your cartridges weeds and clout my arrows. Be puts a little burlap sack on his counter and he opened up and there are twelve little orangish cartridges like glass cartridges with their filled with an orange almost like a pulsing orange liquid and. This is very caustic. This burns very badly And will light hair and clothes on fire. trust me. i have experienced them firsthand. And he's got like cinches in his shirt like where the liquid is splashed while he was mixing it. There's holes in tunic Whatever you plan on doing with these. Make sure you hit the target. These will most certainly burn a house down. Ease will do very nicely there. Anything else you needed. And i'd take one and go to put it in and it slides in pretty easily and there is a little mechanical metal sound and you see little clamps come out from the shaft of the arrow Around the top and the bottom of the cylinder and it a fixes pretty nicely to the arrow. So there's a little chink sound and it is perfectly affixed they do is on how to store. These you know be sufficient you can shake them and they won't explode any picks up and he shakes violently high. It'll only gonna break when it hit something solid so like a person or a wall or a house or tree headed with enough force in the vile will shatter but this perfectly contained in there and so.

Then stop them from slitting throats and also to kill the bastard then why f we heiress to name one of us new captain of the guard that i know but why because then we just walk right in. We can walk right in any way because then they went there there and you purchase. I mean we could but and ogasawara. What are your thoughts. The captain of the guard is already told to hearing screening spell at the the capital guard is already told you know the leader of this gang that they won't be the guards won't interfere so that's already been planned but now there's going to be a new captain of the guard because this one's got his ass kicked i see what you're saying. So he's not like okay in my head. He was standing there. Like saying you go you go you go. But it's they're just already gonna be gays meltzer no patrols or whatever what you're saying but now that there's a new sorry that was yeah i get it now. What if since we know where the bastards going to be the erratically and we know when they're going to be there and we know what they're going to be doing. Maybe we should go get some help from some of these guild leaders. Oh yeah i need. Let's go see a town to see if we can raise an army now. i'm good. oh you're cleric. That's that's my first thought is to go see the monks and say. Hey let's do some has shadow. Shit i am not gonna be able to get any rogues on this you guys you just send get some high level monks involved and they can be in visible in the dim light. Hang out stake out the place. It's going to be at night soon. Be perfect for that so just be stealthy silent and then hop out when you see the shit. Go down and then we'll see if maybe some other wanna get involved too but the monks for sure because they got the shadow shit. Some of them do the way the shadow grab some clerics. Dang see about two cleric or healing spec bahamas so was it hold on the fighters probably aren't going to be too into it. They seemed a little standard college. Dudes them go get him. They do some healing. They'll be able to big war hammers or something. Oh hey remember his hand. Nba a kind of good tank. We can check in with the powell and guild. See if anybody was still so now we got to be careful of if i don't know if the bastards got anybody on their side and these guilds to maybe we just talked to the guild leader and find people they can trust like maybe just approach build leader. Yeah because if if they if they tell the wrong person and that gets back to the leader of this heist gang might get called off all right well at some point i need to go buy a water skin. This and i still would like to question people at the end. Furry if there's any week maybe. I can find a place with files. We got time because when try to raise an army army. Should we separate the party ami or more ground or i mean we do have all day like we have a while so yeah we got time. Can't yeah time. well all right.

"Anyway. This is a very interesting story. The next one i'm talking about is about. There's twelve lemon. Let us go into perspective right. There's twelve women. There south create wait. Here's twelve women out there. i i know prizes. You are third. South korea their little far And so there's twelve woman south korean. They've all filed lawsuits against the japanese government. Asking for reparations from how the japanese soldiers treated them during world war two. So contexts got implement that japan annexed korea right before world war two started and japanese soldiers. They were not the nurses people to the people that lived in korea if fact they were quite the opposite into them until the what these women are saying is that they were forced into brothel work on the frontlines. In order to provide the japanese imperial army with quote comfort and What is abruptly they ask. Because i feel like someone is asking that question. I i i have not but i feel like people are asking that josh. I look explain it but i don't know i think something's you don't need explain by. Look it up. say that it's like a railway worship club. Oh you're yeah. Look look i just want to be honest with you. I don't want anything to be in the closing it behind the curtain so yeah brothels slot. There's a lot of prostitution. They're essentially sup into not. Want me sharing this information. You could share. I think it's i just think it's odd that you're like oh lovers play to you when a brothel is some people might not know would've brothels so now you know and so. These women were forced into brothel work. It's not. They were into voluntarily to provide the japanese army with again this comfort. And so these women. I did not like being a part of these. Brothels imagine why. Yeah and so. They said we'd reparations japanese government. They are very mean. It's very bad that that the soldiers would do this to us and we are responsible because they have nothing else to do and so the central district court in the south korean capital seoul agreed with these lawsuits and has sent a demand to tokyo. That all twelve of these women should each paid ninety one thousand four hundred dollars as compensation so asked for more it will ask for more right and they'll make it a hundred k. Although this is like one hundred million dollars no one hundred million dollars in one hundred million yen So i guess it was an even number. That's just the like the conversion so that's why it's not exact but i was active yen. That's all that matters. So the japanese the japanese foreign minister toshimitsu motegi. He was very angry as he was. not happy. does not like paying reparations. He said this quote. We strongly urged south korea to correct the violation of international law as soon as possible. We have repeatedly expressed that. The japanese government is not subject to korean jurisdiction under international law. Ed quote so. What's he saying here saying. 'look japan is a country career as a country and dust time i checked where no fast of korea in fact If i look back at and i remember who was a vassal of who it was actually you korea's anything i mean you no but Yeah so he saying that. Japan is not a part of krio. So we're not going to give you money because you have no right. You're the authority of your court does not. Actually you know. Extend to the mainland japan. So i don't really know what you're talking about. I'm not going to go ask like india for india. You owe me one hundred thousand dollars india's huckabee like oh okay. I'll be. I'll i'll get it right away. That's not how it works josh. You owe me one hundred thousand dollars okay. Way see exactly how works international law such a joke since jail And so yeah but this is not the first time. Surprisingly that south korea has asked for these types of compensations. Last time they did it was back in two thousand eighteen that time for property damage and stuff like that. So every two years south korea's gonna to be like japan yet me money in japan s say south korea. That is really interesting. But i'll keep that in. Mind flashback to three podcasts ago. Instill japanese korean as you can imagine are not the best because of the south korea wants this money in japan not want to give it to them Japan asked to constantly say no that korea. I'm not giving you money. And so yeah they what they would the main argument they use. Because they're like i know. I know it was bad. I apologize but listen. You gotta understand in nineteen sixty five. We gave you five hundred million dollars in economic assistance to help you recover after the war. So that kind of pays for these reparations. You need like maybe you shouldn't have spent that money terribly. I don't know So abe that is the main argument. They use this that we already paid our debt. You you can't keep demanding stuff Which is why they get so annoyed over things such as this. I feel like that's fair. Is fair but south korea sent these reparations are not that was in nineteen sixty five. These women were forced into. Brothels you're saying they don't deserve rations. Both arguments are fair. Both arguments are fair but the important thing to take out of this is that japan and south korea are very mad at each other over this because they're teething you look at google earth right now you can see the steam coming out of their ears. Yes exactly in very good way to put it. S all right. Well well you are on google maps looking at the steam. Why don't we talk about tunis. Tunisia because there are a lot of protests going on this. Been all over middle eastern news. I didn't really see it around here. Because it was kind of inauguration so i guess got covered up. I don't know i'm just saying what's more important. Inauguration protests in tunisia..

"I'm gonna do bud last thing. And i'm going to pass this bill and i'm gonna be a great person among the latino community so there you go But at the same time on top of this because trump he did more than just allow this work permit go he. Also he also implant imposing new round of sanctions on the venezuelan government This was targeted specifically at nicholas maduro. And a lot of his top officials and a lot of his henchmen around the country so it was targeted at that and there. It's not clear if they'll stay in place with biden comes into power because he played about three hours before binding powers are. We'll see how that works but That's what we know is that he placed sanctions and the venezuelan. Government was very angry at these sanctions. I don't again. I don't know why personally even like the sanction me when i'm disrespectful side. Do it all the time sanctions be constantly. So i may venezuela's isn't in a bad mood could be while you know. They're in a bad mood. When they polity imperialistic aggression guard yes because madero said it was quoted imperialistic russian quote to place sanctions on someone else as ian just stated but providing context right so in other words vest way. The government was very very angry with these sanctions. Which again. I don't understand but anyway i just thought you guys would want know that i thought it was a good story President trump is out. Obviously biden's in now. It's inauguration happened about a few hours ago so new president new days. Guys sounds like imperialist to me i. I think we can all agree on that all right but before we get started. Let me tell you about a free platform called anchor. So what is anchor. Well as. I said it's free. And what can you do with this platform. Will you can upload and edit your podcast from your computer or your phone and it will distribute it for you this entire apps.

"We never really knew how elections. We're going to take place because the hamas ended up taking the gaza strip force in two thousand seven a year after elected the great dismay of fateh. Because what happened is the hamas won election But technically the palestinian authority a Zone of control extends to the gaza strip. But they don't really control the gaza strip because the hamas said mine and they took it for themselves militarily. There is a battle and there you go now. The hamas exist in the gaza strip. But they're not very well liked by the palestinian authority. They're not like by israel or egypt as both countries have military blockades on them because reasons non such as roma's saying it in the first line of their charter. That israel should be destroyed Which they think is justified because they believe israel to be an oppressive force. I'm so very go. But in general because of this this rift the palestinian authority in general does not like when an when other people seized their land. And you know. Try to take away their power. And don't listen to them. They they not big fans of that. I am a big fan of that. But i guess palestinian authority isn't i like when ian talks back to me. I really do. Yeah so all. I have to say is that this sounds like a palace sticky situation well job and sitting on that one. That whole time Really that's awesome. Well guys definitely keep in touch with us because this is actually really big. Deal palestinians these elections. It is very very big. It's not very bad. Like i usually say it is so. Let's move on to our next story of the day. And that is that president trump. He's leaving in fact as time with us recording. This and as of seeing this uploaded president trump is not going to be our president no longer the president of the united states. You don't live in the united states. He's never your president. But he's long president of the united states But we do live in the us so to some hashtags. He was never some people's precedents. Great dismay of the mighty hashtag. Yes in so president. Trump is out biden. Is now the one in office. Rat joe biden is obviously the president. I'm sure you know who he is comma harris's vp. And there you go. So why am i talking about this. Because president trump authorize one. One little thing before he left office not much came is a little bit of a. It was kind of surprising because we'll because it wasn't expected to kind of win against president. Trump's normal hard hard line immigration policy but at the same time he opposes venezuela museum. And of course i'm talking about venezuelan immigrants as you heard in the intro so what is happening specifically is that any final move in office. President trump authorized a work program. That would give work permits to approximately ninety five thousand venezuelans living in the united states illegally. And i'm saying approximately because i've seen estimates at ninety four thousand so i'm taking the low guests here but have also seen some as high as four hundred thousand so clearly the. Us government is not the best figuring out how many refugees they have So there you go. us government. You'd think somebody would keep in track when someone enters say one and then someone else to have the machine. You have to count people like when you're going into walmart or something many people now like one work-permit tick it's not easy easy. I i have an expert on that. Because i yes i. I know a lot about how the machines work at walmart as being associate myself Not not to brag or anything. It's the most prestigious job and so anyways move on this work. Prominent would just give these people a chance to kind of apply legally to stay working in the us for eighteen months so over over a year. Obviously you're in half and that would that would not apply to anyone coming now. It would apply for anyone who is in the country of today january twentieth or before so you're venezuelan emigrant. You say oh my god work-permit permit program and then you then you come across the ocean and you and you go up until the shores of miami and then you say. I want a work permit. They're gonna say no. You don't get one because it's not january twentieth so you got over to be. Here's what i'm saying. This can be seen as a final attack against the regime in venezuela under nicholas maduro whom the trump administration refused to cooperate with Because this is a again trump administration in the end the venezuelan government do not get along obviously the us government recognizes honglo. Who's kind of just riding around the world saying i am president and I do the same here. Yeah i just. I run around town and say i'm i'm mayor. Yes yeah yeah. The mayor's dismay we don't we don't have are towns weird and soak guido. He's the he's technically the president of venezuela according according to the us government but Medeiros actually in charge over there yet has all the power and so madero says some d'oro is probably not gonna be happy about this. Get to into a minute but this is just one final thing. That trump did before he left into part to florida forever. He said that he did this. Last final move and this was well received within the community the latino community inside of venezuela her the venezuelan community more specifically. Because you know they probably don't wanna get deported events walea So this was a lot of people are saying. This would be a lot different under biden in terms of how the us would get along with the venezuelan government. They a lot of people were saying that Because the by biden transition team hinted at this a few times that they would not be they would not necessarily recognize guo full capacity. They were trying to open up negotiations with the venezuelan government. I'm however the biden administration says no no. No we are not gonna do that in fact we are. We're actually going to get along with them. We're going to try to recognize guido instead. We're not gonna talk to these vendors venezuelan government. We don't like them the Antony blinken the upcoming secretary of state under under president biden. He said that he called early. Quote brutal dictator quote and said this yesterday and said that the united states will continue to recognize. One godot as the president. So there you go to the great dismay of republicans who are saying the opposite. So i don't actually know if that's true. We'll see what happens. however florida sense however. Florida senator marco rubio. He had a statement of his own. He said an quote. America remains a beacon of hope and freedom for many and now eligible venezuelan nationals. In the us will receive much needed temporary immigration relief end quote which means he likes it. Marco rubio's happy which means it is the best bill in the entire world that all humanity could possibly pass because margot robie likes it I know i'm kidding. Brings tears to my i. I know i know and so it was widely praised them. it was not just president trump. Why because it was very very bipartisan. the biden administration originally actually promised to pass something similar to this but trump said you know what before i leave and go down to florida..

Hello everybody welcome to another episode of the world at large the best podcast on the internet. And today i've josh here as usual right to talk to us about the palestinian authority. Hello everybody. I hope we are doing well today because i know i am fact. I'm very excited to record this. Because i just love talking about news and we pretty cool things going on today as always as always but is extra cool today because the palestinian authority is holding elections. And oh my god. They have done that fifteen years. Which means this is something new that we're going to be covering on the podcast. So why don't we talk about that. Shall we know. Yes we shall. We shall okay the palestinian authority. If you don't know you're not aware of what that is Probably heard of palestine. It's a it's kind of a state. It's it's it's not. It's an observer. State united nations is not officially recognized but most countries recognize the palestine. china's one that exists as a stadium. It covers the west bank which is to the east of israel and then also technically is supposed to control the gaza strip although as we'll get into in a minute on doesn't really work like that so they're holding elections and the reason. This is a big deal because they really don't hold elections. They held one in two thousand six. And since then there's really hasn't been any of the main reason that this has always been as because the hamas is which is the ruling party in the gaza strip and ta which is the ruling party in the west bank. They don't really get along that well. They fight a lot One of them wants to rule. The other one wants to roll. Say see the the little bit of an issue there. They both want to be in charge. I'm so usually when that's the case you got a lot of fighting so first time in fifteen years. When are they supposed to happen well. Legislative elections are to be held on may twenty second while the one for the actual president. is going to be held on july thirty first so job Skier calendars. I know i will. Because i'm dying to see who wins the elections in the palestinian authority. But until then all we can do is speculate. So what is going on here. Well like i said there is. There's a little bit of a rift between the gaza between the hamas the party in the gaza strip and then the palestinian authority under todd. That's the ruling party in the west bank and this rift against teams from power. But it is a lot more complicated than that because the hamas technically part of the palestinian authority but at the same time. They don't really listen to them. In fact the palestinian authority has denounced moss. Few times they called. They really don't like them. Because hamas contests their power. However they're trying to hold elections which would put both of them up for reelection both fatigue and hamas so this statement was released by the palestinian authority it goes as follows and an quote. The president instructed the election committee all allstate at paddison of the state to launch a democratic election process in an all the cities in the homeland. And the reason. I said this quote because it's quite important to see this in the homeland par all the cities in the homeland. This is a very crucial part. Because israeli controversy comes in jerusalem. Oh yeah that's right. it's back jerusalem. It's always the controversial city because Israel recognizes it as its capital. It recognizes the whole city of jerusalem as its capital as the jewish people. It's the eternal capital in judaism and east. Jerusalem is is. This part is the part of the city which the palestinian authority recognizes as their capital. So they don't actually control it. That's completely the entire cities controlled by israel but palestine. And they say well. I mean east jerusalem's time you're occupying it so i kind of want it back and i just want to hold elections. I want the people of easters. Linda take part in our elections so threes. They don't control. it is because they did up to nineteen sixty seven. Six day war happened. I'm which i'm sure you've got. We're all experts and and Absolutely i got my phd in So nineteen sixty. Seven is when it happened. And that's when the state of israel actually annexed east jerusalem in its entirety but although a lot of the international community does not recognize it as israeli however is rarely government again. thinks of it as there's However the fontan palestinian authority want it wants us citizens their vote and so the european union has gotten involved and they said you know what palestinian authority. You know what you're right. East jerusalem is occupied by these rallies. You are. They need to vote. They need to vote in the upcoming election. So we demand demand that israel. Let them vote so they said this. In a statement and quote the european union also calls on israeli authorities to facilitate the holding of elections across all of the palestinian territory. And they are referring to east jerusalem in this quote and so. The prime minister of the palestinian authority should talia. Welcome this He actually asked for representatives from the european union could come and be present and facilitate the actual election process. So few things here. Well the biggest one is that this would put hamas up just as much as fa- for reelection which would mean that you know the they might you think they wouldn't welcome that because hamas they are not the most democratic group They're very they run the gaza strip and various thornberry way. I'm so this was a surprise especially because Photon hamas along in terms of how to actually hold these elections usually that that's why they that's the biggest excuse for why they haven't been held vitol would say you know what i think it's time to hold elections hamas would say That's not the right time. I don't wanna do it now And so they're like all right. I guess we can't hold elections than hamas says. We're ready to hold elections in the palestinian authority. Says it's not the right time and so none of them could ever agree on time for when they could hold the lectures. They just know they want to do they. Oh they just they just wanted to it so badly they just they just don't know how it's always the other person's fault you seat and sell elections were never held until now But i'm also be put up for election and surprisingly hamas actually welcomed this so for once. They're both in agreement that they need to help so They said that they have been trying to quote resolve all the obstacles so that they can reach this day unquote which means that now. Yeah i guess it's the right time we've been working really hard. It's it's it's about time to put ourselves up for reelection. So that's why this came for to international shot to a two to shock from the international community because it was really unexpected. We never really knew how elections. We're going to take place because the hamas ended up taking the gaza strip force in two thousand seven a year after elected the great dismay of fateh. Because.

I just don't think <Speech_Male> it's hard <Speech_Female> to me <Speech_Male> the number one. <Speech_Female> yeah <Speech_Female> <Speech_Female> Well that leaves <Speech_Female> us with the most important <Speech_Female> person of <Speech_Female> today's <Speech_Female> date. <Speech_Female> Because i don't want to name <Speech_Female> today's date and then <Speech_Female> this podcast is not evergreen. <Speech_Female> Why would i <Speech_Female> ever do that. <Speech_Female> Carlton gillespie <Speech_Female> where. <Speech_Female> Whatever <Speech_Female> i just said. <Speech_Female> Let it go and tell me <Speech_Female> what <Speech_Female> is your deal <Speech_Male> with the <Speech_Male> scale. And how <Speech_Male> do you want to <SpeakerChange> deal with <Speech_Female> the <Speech_Female> likes <Speech_Female> well because nobody really <Speech_Female> likes the scale. Excuse <Speech_Female> people usually <Speech_Female> don't like the scale but <Speech_Female> we love the scale. And <Speech_Female> i let you <Speech_Female> do your scale the way <Speech_Male> you wanted <SpeakerChange> to your scale. <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> Well <Speech_Male> i'm definitely. I'm <Speech_Male> going to rate this. Because <Speech_Male> this is <Speech_Male> ocean's <Speech_Male> twelve <Speech_Male> i'm going to rate this <Speech_Male> on a scale <Speech_Male> of twelve <Speech_Male> <SpeakerChange> <Speech_Male> for obvious reasons. <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> I like <SpeakerChange> that. <Speech_Female> And <Speech_Female> that <Speech_Male> i <SpeakerChange> let you do <Speech_Male> whatever you want. I compose. <Speech_Male> I don't <Speech_Male> understand it all <Speech_Male> about the movies you <Speech_Male> guys compared to two. <Speech_Male> It makes zero sense <Speech_Male> to me <Speech_Male> if anything <Speech_Male> i would use <Speech_Male> to me personally <Speech_Male> like the director. <Speech_Male> The most direct <Speech_Male> comparison is <Speech_Male> which movie is similar. <Speech_Male> Tone <Speech_Male> has ocean has <Speech_Male> similar cast <Speech_Male> into <Speech_Male> the story. <Speech_Male> Ocean's eleven <Speech_Male> so i'm gonna <Speech_Male> use that so i'm <Speech_Male> gonna say oceans <Speech_Male> some of the <Speech_Male> ocean's eleven <Speech_Male> to me <Speech_Male> is a nine <Speech_Male> because <Speech_Male> it twelve. <Speech_Male> <SpeakerChange> No <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> no we are. Are <Speech_Male> we already know where this <Speech_Male> is going to go. Because he teased <Speech_Male> it out. But continue. <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> ocean's eleven <Speech_Male> true to me is <Speech_Male> nine just in the way <Speech_Male> ching like <Speech_Male> it chains <Speech_Male> genre. <Speech_Male> It played <Speech_Male> with played <Speech_Male> around with the reality. <Speech_Male> So i'm <Speech_Male> going to give ocean's <Speech_Male> twelve <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> thirteen <Speech_Male> <SpeakerChange> on <Speech_Male> a twelve point scale <Speech_Music_Male> <Speech_Music_Male> all who <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> not to say <Speech_Male> that it's ocean's <Speech_Male> thirteen <Speech_Male> because ocean's thirteen <Speech_Male> is a two <Speech_Male> <SpeakerChange> <Speech_Male> on that twelve point <Speech_Male> scale <Speech_Music_Male> <Speech_Music_Male> <Speech_Music_Male> trial <Speech_Male> tried to <Speech_Male> you try and understand <Speech_Male> all that <Speech_Male> listener. <Speech_Male> Yeah <Speech_Male> go digest <Speech_Music_Female> that.

"That's that's seven different. It's it's a very before we've seen it's a different movie. And i don't think i need that. I don't need it to be that but the movie does not give us anything but the bare minimum to be like okay. He loves her and she loves sam and it's good that he reunited her with her father dave poker together in the end. All have fun. If that doesn't spell out true love you. i don't know what does joe it doesn't earn it. It's so paper thin but again. I think if it added more to it would lose so much of the stuff we do. Enjoy the movie. Yeah cast of twelve stars which is tough. Yeah it's kind of like when people criticize and game and the other vendors one for certain things. It's like well again. This is a movie with eighteen characters even allowed to criticize with films. I heard like you. You won't get thirty sense to like the dungeons if you increase is and scientology almost never do it on this. Podcast almost never criticized. That's another podcast. You guys. that's right. Well it's it's worse than episode but Okay great. I think we've covered like but what i want but i want to hear more from sony. Everything being rushed out of here. Is there another. You have another guess after me. Is that is going to ocean's thirteen after this. Is that once you all night with us. talking about. Ocean's twelve sasha's just pain indexes slowly rising. So i do start slowly few losing feeling in my leg but i. It has nothing to do with me environment. I e yeah you just said. I'll take what can look look recovering from surgery. I grace and i want to talk about this film. So carlton please. Sasha is in Not in the hospital but she's pretty much hospital downstairs in her house. She's not allowed to see her beloved dogs because dogs jump on broken legs. It's the whole thing. It's very sad. It's a sad sad world. Hey the world is suffering way. More than i am right now but nobody is suffering more than carlton wants to talk. Some more by favorite movie called ten. What do you want to know. Just want to talk more about george. Plenty brad is is that so much. There's not enough people talking about them. We all okay. So i but i wanna know from sasha like what questions. Yeah out the mood. There's no but no this. Generally this isn't to be like or like. Why am i watching this any of it. Because somebody didn't see eleven. I know why you're watching it because you value my opinion and i said just watch and true. Yeah how do we is doing this. Podcast i wanted to get a little in your brain. So like azure watching it. I'm just curious what what are the main things that you're like where you like..

"The which is what they did in number one which is the whole. The whole reason clooney goes through robbing benedict is too. So here's the thing. Okay so everyone loves ocean's eleven right but ultimately george clooney rob's terry benedict still hundred sixty million dollars. Yes to convince his ex his ex-wife to come back and and meet up to. That is one little camera that catches terry benedict giving up his money or excuse me giving up test to get his money back. Which number one. It is ridiculous for her. Just realize that in that moment that oh my god. I can't believe i can't believe the owner of three casinos care. This much about is money over me is just ridiculous and is a bad so people are like. Wow i can't believe in this one brad pitt. Whole ruse so he can get catherine zeta jones back. But that's exactly what happens in ocean's eleven and they even say you know when they're in the jail jail cell he like was it worth it and he says was pets and so they're basically saying like these are always about something else. It's whenever about female right exact. Well it is interesting because of course somebody trying to get rich. Some dushi guy trying to buy another yacht. It's such a like it's not something that we all can relate to but all he wants to win. A girl is a classic. Storytelling you know. goal goal for protagonist. So the thing with this movie those you don't even really know that for one until the end and then to for me. You don't really get the feeling that their relationship is strong. Because your first introduction to the character does brad pitt. Leaving them the like. I understand why he's leaving them. But the optics are bad right like she's about to this about the buzzer he's dna. Yeah yeah and i. I never get the i never see a scene where they like really love each other and i believe this kisses her in the morning. So that's something. It's very thin to me. I don't necessarily mind it. Because i think the movie. I don't give a shit about that part. I just wanna see all these characters be fun and they do but it is like pretty thin. Where am i wait. Did they even belong together. Like you've shown me nothing in all these characters last vaccine show that they're in love but it's because he's a thief just like her father. That's why it doesn't. He was running down the street from the cops. And she's like i like that. That's like it's been there that it's incredibly thin to where at the end there is no there is no catharsis for me of like oh good. They're they're together. And you don't give a shit. I also don't give a shit about her long-lost bother looking that she's hanging out with the father like with this fucking asshole. No but the thing is that's really sweet on the surface. The movie doesn't earn any of that. Because you don't necessarily care about the father you don't even meet the actor until ten minutes bill ten minutes it but that's the thing that just the movie tells you all these things but it doesn't really earn the weight of that low milquet so let me ask you this though. If the movie was the movie was reframed in the beginning which is this is about a woman whose father was the greatest deep of all time and it setup where she's going to try and track him down and she's going to try she's going to try and re- reunite reunite herself with her father and they're gonna get out all the excess baggage. You can't tell me that both of you would have tuned out immediately and been like yeah..

"I don't wanna say impressive but to say okay. I've got this cast. We could just more or less phone this in and make it a quote unquote. We could do what we did already. Ocean's eleven and have some grand finale where it's like. Oh my god. They taped the whole thing and they just ran a tape in the in the casino it was all an ever knew and instead they went. No liquids. Do something different. How about it's just about their egos which this is all. This is anyway. And let's have them create an entire ruse and by the way. None of this film is about that. It's about this really mean to me interesting. Love story between brad. Pitt's character and catherine zeta jones and also kind of like going back into your past and seeing like how these people ended up where they are now Which is totally different than how most high films do it. I mean if you just told me like hey you should see this film of these guys. Go and try. And steal this faberge egg and you and i try to guess how it turned out. There's no way. I guess this. And i don't mean that as like a put down in terms of like they just made it all up. I think it's intriguing. In the way they went about it versus. I think what most people thought at the time. It's just like oh they just goofed around and blah blah blah and. This is an interesting. But i think if you take a look at it it is it's subversive and i think that's the the risk and i think time rewards that type of risk more. I think this is maybe that people would probably accept more now. Just because you do go. And i think the audience probably went into ocean's twelve being like yeah we do just wanna see the same exactly and then when they didn't get that that was very upsetting but now like we can separate a we could be like. Oh that was actually kind of cool. And i'm always Very intrigued when i see movies that you can kind of sniff out that they might be loved more five or ten years later Fantasy the new fantasy island. I actually think is a movie that people are going to really dig in five or ten years. I don't know if either of you have seen it haven't Not to make too much about fantasy island but it is just like it's so weird that yes you probably went into that movie being like. Oh i want a straight horror movie..

"Because at the end of the day we know. They're not endanger notions win. We know they're going to win. George clooney and brad pitt are not gonna die. We all know this isn't going to happen. So why don't we just make fun of the fact that that's award doing here and so for me like i appreciate them doing that. Which is interesting because like in movies. Now that's done so often and people love it like twenty two. Jump street when they made the sequel. They made fun of the fact that they're making the sequel. The others at running joke from nick offerman. He's like nope. You do the same case the same way because you know and so there's something about i think them doing that back in two thousand four or five. Which really intrigued me. Because you can zone out on a heist movie so easily. When you're like here they come here. Come the cops hope. They opened the door. No one's there. There's none of that in this movie. And so i think i appreciated that more than you just being like. Let's let's up the score in ocean's twelve and make it even more money and see if they can get themselves out of it because come on like we know they are. Yeah and i guess the thing is like it's not my cup of tea but you know that's a terrible explanation. But i see what they're doing. And i think steven soderbergh is a really interesting director. Like he's super described him understated but like i think. That's not how most people describe him. But i do think of him as like he takes like the world and he like really in the grounded understated way explores it and i totally believe everything that's happening in the sense of like the grounding of it so like i really enjoy the direct the do his of grounding genre to something less glitzy and like more of just like you have a feel good but without the hollywood. You know like it's morally started work spice not like the hollywood spice it. No no it like. It definitely reminds me more of out of sight than like ocean's eleven feels like you know soderbergh's directing and he's being told like this is kind of what you have to do in some of the movie but in ocean's twelve like it just felt like he did. He just had mortally way and did a lot more stuff that you just couldn't get away with Had it been like you know we need to find a director to do this..
