A highlight from 1394: Bitcoin Will 10x on Institutional Interest - Valkyrie
"In today's show, we're going to be discussing Bitcoin bids moved to the lowest since March as the Bitcoin price dips under $25 ,700. And breaking news just in, Tucker Carlson is in Argentina right now to interview pro -Bitcoin presidential candidate Javier Malay. That's right. Max Kaiser responded to this. This Tucker Carlson interview with Javier could pump the Bitcoin price 5 % in a day. It will become clear that all of Central and South America benefits extraordinarily from adopting a Bitcoin standard. Let's freaking go. Also in today's show, Coinbase launches crypto lending platforms specifically for U .S. institutions. We'll also be discussing Grayscale. Ask the SEC to meet on the way forward for Bitcoin ETF conversion. We'll also be discussing Bitcoin can reach comically large market cap if this trend unfolds, according to macro guru Lynn Alden, as well as the Bitcoin halving could be even bigger for Bitcoin than in the past, says Wall Street veteran Caitlin Long. And quoting the new or the CIO of Valkyrie Investments, he says Bitcoin price can 10x on institutional interests and predicts the spot ETF to be live by 2024. 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 Crypto News Alerts dot net. Welcome, everyone tuning in. This is podcast episode number thirteen hundred and ninety four. I'm your host, JV. And today is September 6, 2023. We do have a lot to cover. Let's start with our market watch. As you can see here in your screen, we got Bitcoin in the red, barely holding on to twenty five thousand six hundred. We also have ether in the red along with XRP, Cardano, Polkadot and Solana. And checking out CoinMarketCap .com, we're barely sitting above that trillion dollar milestone, with about twenty seven billion in volume in the past 24 hours, with Bitcoin dominance at forty eight point two percent, with the ether dominance just shy of 19 percent. And checking out the top 100 crypto gainers of the past 24 hours, Thor chain lead in the pack up almost four percent, trading at a dollar fifty five, followed by Iota up three percent, trading above seventeen point two cents, followed by GMX up three percent, trading at thirty three dollars and thirty seven cents. And checking out the top 100 crypto gainers for the past week, cause lead in the pack up fourteen percent. And checking out the crypto greed and fear index, we're currently rated forty two in fear. Yesterday was a forty last week, a forty nine and last month, a forty nine, which is a neutral. So there you have it. How many of you have been taking advantage of this recent dip? Please do let me know in the comments chat. I greatly appreciate that. And now let's dive into today's Bitcoin technical analysis. Check out the charts and what's popping with the king crypto. As you can see here, Bitcoin's bullish momentum is fading as liquidity shifts preempt a volatile move. According to the latest analysis in a new post by crypto analyst Keith Allen, a monitoring resource flagged fresh shifts on the Binance order book. That's right. The Bitcoin price has stayed tidy range bound since the weekend. But exchange data suggests that the status quo may be about to change. What are your thoughts? Bid support moved down to concentrate around twenty four thousand six hundred on the day, with the price level not seen on the spot markets since March. Quitting the analysts here, what is most concerning here is that the largest concentrations of Bitcoin bid liquidity have now moved below the previously established lower low. At the bottom of the range, Bitcoin put in the lowest post March dip in mid -June, reaching twenty four thousand seven fifty before reversing higher as data outlines alongside this chart, which shows you the Bitcoin one week candle chart. Now continuing, Allen shared the following from a macro perspective. I do expect to see a price breakdown eventually. So the thought of printing a new lower low isn't surprising. But I did expect to see stronger short term rally from this range before that happens. But with that said, the bears are yet to gain the upper hand entirely.

Cinemavino
A highlight from Trollhunter
"And welcome back to cinema vino, but it's good to have you guys here with us. That's good to be here. We got Sean Jordan, but it's your boy. And my name is Todd Wofford. And it's good to be here. Summer chaos continues. We're down on our home stretch wrapping it up. We just got a couple more movies to go. Yeah, we don't have long to go. We're almost at the Labor Day weekend. It's almost through September. It's time. Put away all my white outfits and just move on with life. So yeah. Do you put away the white album too? Do you stop listening to it? I do. I go for the gray album after Labor Day. So I go with Jay -Z. DJ Danger Mouse. I go Black Album. DJ Danger Mouse. DJ Danger Mouse. DJ Danger Mouse. Jame Judy Dench. Jame Judy Dench. If I hear Yamo be there one more time. So beautiful Michael McDonald. That's a great baritone by the way. Grace Baritone and all the rock. You know all the words. I hate Michael McDonald. Yeah. What about the Doobie Brothers? I like the Doobie Brothers pre Michael McDonald. Okay. I had like the best of Doobie Brothers CD and like disc one. Awesome. Disc two. Awful. Yeah. Okay. So anyway, so we are drinking Riesling and we're talking about Troll Hunter. Oh, this is lovely Riesling. Yeah. German Riesling. Yeah. It's just German. Couldn't find a Swedish Riesling? They're out there somewhere, I'm sure. Norwegian. So obviously Summer Chaos to bring guys up to speed. We spin a random wheel or we picked random movies and then we spin a random wheel and pick a random wine to go with them. So this is all just. Or spirit. Or spirit or beer. It's willy nilly. Anything goes. Or Todd gets bored and just makes it some seven sevens that are like oddly strong. We don't actually see the process of Todd picking booze. So sometimes it's just like you guys are drinking rum. Sometimes you're not meant to see how the sausage gets made. I think he definitely has put like a finger in every single drink that he's given to me. A hundred percent. More than one. Smells like a sweaty hot dog. Yeah. Sometimes I go full bowling ball in there. So it adds to the three fingers. Three finger profile. That's a bad name. Tastes like Todd's fingers. We all three finger profile. Tastes like what Todd's fingers have been in. That's going to be the first line of my autobiography. It's the terroir. It is the terroir. So we're going to talk about the wine a little bit from the start. I got my notes right here all ready for you. Riesling is known primarily as a German rattle but you'll see it grown in a lot of other places such as Australia, France, the US and Canada. Australia is actually your second biggest rower of Riesling. Rieslings have a reputation as a sweet white wine but you actually got a pretty good wide variety of between dry and off dry. Pretty much any kind of flavor profile of white wine there's a Riesling in that range somewhere. Alsatian wines tend to be on very dry side from France. And then... This one's a little off dry, right? Yeah. This one definitely falls kind of in the between area. And then you go all the way up to Trokenberne Auslese which is going to be just sticky sweet. I mean just like... Hot sticky sweet. Yeah. I'm hot. Sticky sweet. From my hand to my feet. Yeah. Like Todd's fingers. So for food pairings you're going to put this with Asian foods, Indian foods, any kind of spicy dish. With the sugary sweetness of the wine will definitely kind of balance things out for you. Rieslings are coming usually at a good price point. They can be anywhere from $10 to $25. They don't tend to be crazy expensive. You drink them obviously very chilled but any kind of a bold spicy dish you can do a Riesling with. But you can also do them with holiday meals, kind of lighter cuisine. So like... You're actually going to get to do a Riesling tasting in Germany in November. Ooh. That's right. You're going across the pond. That's right. Pinkies up. Pinkies up. That's going to be fun. Yeah. I'll be able to taste it straight off the vine. You have to take lots of pictures. Yeah. Lots of pictures of Zavino. If I come back with Wiederhosen I'm going to be so happy. I would be disappointed if you don't. Yeah. In a big old box of shrooms. So this is going to be... Let me see if I can pronounce this correctly. Correctly. This is A .C. Chrisman, Faltz Riesling. Yes. I'm working on my like great escape like Nazi Gestapo for... accent Sandre. It's really about Bono. Weingutzeit. Yeah. Weingutzeit. That's like the quality. This is like a high quality Riesling. I think in German that literally translates to wine good. Yeah. Good wine. Yeah. It's like this is one of the top quality Rieslings that you can get. So about 25 bucks. And yeah. This one's going to be definitely kind of in between off dries where I put this one. It's definitely not sticky sweet. It's definitely not bone dry. But yeah. A little scale for you. If you're shopping for Rieslings from dry to sweet, you've got cabinet, which is K -A -B -I -N -E -T -T, spätlese, auslese, berna auslese, trocken berna auslese, and eiswein. So that's what you're looking at on the shelf. That's from dry to sweet. And this one's trocken, right? Yeah. Well, yeah. This is going to be... Well, that's a trocken berna auslese. So this is going to be kind of in between. So this is not quite the berna auslese. So this is going to be more towards the cabinet spätlese side of sweetness. This will be... So go for cabinet if you're looking for dry. Go for auslese if you're looking for pretty sweet. And then once you get up to berna auslese, it's going to be just hummingbird feed sweet. So this one definitely has some good solid like sugar to it. But I do give Riesling to my hummingbirds. They fly sideways. And then they have a great afternoon. Those wings slow wading. When they get drunk really fast and then they also sober up equally as fast. It's that heartbeat that just goes 100 miles a minute. But they can't hit that feeder once they get drunk. They can't get that beak in there. They self -regulate, you know? Yeah. Well, nature does that for them. They flap one wing at a time. They just got to... They're going to leave edibles out for the squirrels. Oh, that's great. Don't give me ideas. So Trollhunter, a little background on this one. This is your pick, Drat, right? Yeah. Sadly, I didn't know I was coming tonight. So I never got... Long story short, I'm watching my niece this week. She's two and a half. And I woke up at 5 .15 today. So that's, you know... Where am I? Yeah. So sadly, I didn't get to watch this again before this, but I've seen it twice. Lovely young lady. Yeah. I can't remember what happens at the end. I was going to say, when was the last time you watched it? Not too terribly long ago. So this may be... It's educational for you. In the last two years, I want to say. Okay. So a little bit about Trollhunter. This was released October 29th, 2010. So long ago. That was almost 13 years ago. Gross. Yeah. Actually, I got to say, I think I watched this probably in 2011, 2012. So it had to have been pretty recently after it came out. Because this was a magnet release, which they did a lot of straight to DVD stuff, picked up stuff that was on the film festival rotation. I don't think this ever had a theatrical release. I mean, I'd heard about it. Well, stateside maybe, right? Yeah, probably. But I mean, if it's small enough, it probably had film festival releases with no actual theatrical. I'd say that's probably why the worldwide box office gross. I couldn't find it. It probably wasn't there. That's why. There you go. Budget of 3 .5 million. I don't know if that's in Norwegian money, and I don't know what Norwegian money even looks like. So it's called a skribu. Two very different answers. Did you make that up? No. Run that about me one more time. What was that? Skribu. That's very Swedish chef -esque. So on IMDb, it has opening weekend of $5 ,585 in the US. That's US dollar. Okay. That's probably like 40 or 50 million in Norwegian. And the budget was 19 .9 million nock, which I think is Norwegian kroner. That's beads. That's the larger denomination, but the lower denomination is skribu. Skribu. So it's like cents. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. This grossed over 2 ,000 matroska dolls or whatever. Well, it's like two cents. Yeah. They did a good box office in those little dolls that you get another doll inside and another doll inside. It brought in a lot of those. You got dinks, then you got skribus, and then you got sickles, and then you got nuts, and then you got galleons. That might be Harry Potter. So 515 is doing you real good, isn't it? We just lost our Norwegian listener base. Now, I like that guy. He's got good comments. I can never read them, but they're great. Yeah. They're all related to skribu. Well, I Google translate all of them, so I get the gist. So this had a budget of 3 .5 million skribu. This a is found footage fantasy horror film. Vaguely in the similar vein as Blair Witch Project. That's the vibe I got a lot of, a little bit of Cloverfield, that kind of vibe too. Found footage. Yeah. It has some elements of Jaws. It also has some dark humor, moments of dark humor. I mean, very dry humor. This has become a cult hit over time. So very simple plot, has two film students and their camera person trailing a man they believe to be responsible for bear poaching in the mountainous Norwegian countryside. He is Hans, played by Norwegian comedian Otto Jespersen. Otto Jespersen. He is part Quint from Jaws, part Ahab, part Unabomber. Yes person? Maybe. Yes person. It's like having a yes man. You got a yes person. Now I'm going to have to work on my Norwegian. I don't know. I don't know nothing about that. In their attempt at fledgling expose journalism, the students stumble onto a wild story that Hans is actually a troll hunter who attempts to manage and contain the troll population all while also participating in a government project to keep the story buried from the general public. He's more like a troll ranger, really. He's like a park ranger for trolls. Yeah, because he obviously has, and I have like a kind of a weird shambling respect for the trolls, like he has a weird, you know, healthy fear of them. Respect your enemy. Yeah. Well, it's more like a, you know, a naturalist who, yeah, you don't want to contend with bears, but you respect that bears are a living thing that deserve to coexist. But you don't want them to get in your Mazda 6. No. No. Is that a car? That's a Mazda. Yeah. That's a smaller, it's a sporty, very small, I don't think a bear could fit in there. I don't think I could fit in there. Good mileage, though. The Mazda 6? Yeah. I think you're going to get high 20s, and that's not bad for a... The red ones are faster. Yeah, for a sportier sedan, especially because they have that rotary engine that gives you good speed. So... Yeah, that's right. You have a Mazda now. That's right. You're a Mazda. We're part of the Mazda. You know all the specs. Positive traction. Exactly. You've got quadraphonic. Hans hunts the trolls with a massive UV apparatus, which exposes them to their greatest weakness, which is sunlight, either real or artificial sunlight. This either turns them to stone, or it detonates them into a big, hairy pond of goo. The two students attempt to document Hans' story before they either get eaten alive, or the government confiscates their footage or silences them altogether. So that's what I've got for description. So, Trav, this was your pick. Yeah, I'm going to let Sean go first. It's been a while since I've seen this. It's been a while. I love this movie because it is so off the wall. It starts off kind of slow, and it's sort of a slow burn early on, but then it ramps up pretty fast, and you just get into it. For the budget that it was, it's a very good movie. Good -looking movie. Good -looking movie? I mean, with a budget of $19 .9 million, you know, you've got to have some assets being put into it. But the nice thing about doing the found footage is you don't have to dedicate resources to good writing and editing. You can just sort of have these real shoddy jump cuts and things just kind of go all over the place. You don't have to actually end it that well. Spoilers, because you wanted to remember how it ends. Basically, the main reporter guy ends up getting rabies, finds out he got rabies from the trolls, and then ends up running away with the footage. Takes the cameras because the government folks are coming to take the footage. Which the government folks are not like dudes in suits with sunglasses. It's just like a guy in a parka. Oh yeah, we're going to take your footage, okay? Hey, you can't have footage? I'm going to take that from you? We'll give you 4 ,000 scuba for your footage. We've got to put that joke to bed, guys. I'm sorry. You opened that can of worms. You created a monster. I apologize to all Norwegians. But, I mean, it just sort of ends. It just sort of like he runs away with the camera and then there's, you know, some text on a black screen of exposition of this is what we think happened. This is unsubstantiated. Faux exposition. Yeah, faux exposition. Multiple experts have analyzed this footage and determined it's authentic. It's like, okay. But it's fun. It's a fun movie. It's goofy. It's a little, I wouldn't even say like sci -fi or horror. Dark comedy? Yeah, I get a lot of comments about that. I guess. Yeah, because there are really comedic moments, right? Like they hired the Muslim camerawoman and they're talking about whether or not her fact that she's a Muslim will attract - Does she believe in God? Is she? It's Christians? I don't know. We'll find out. Whatever. Yeah. It's a little bit like Gremlins 2. Like, wait a minute. They can't eat after midnight. I mean, it's always midnight somewhere and it pops out. It reminds me of the scene in Clue where they find the dead body again after finding so many dead bodies and they're just like, go to the other room, see the dead body. It's like, she's Muslim. Does that count? We'll find out. We'll see. We'll see how hungry they are. We'll do it for science. But yeah, I just love, I love the lore building of like the trolls are, they follow all these old rules. Like he's putting tires under bridges because trolls live under bridges, obviously. Yeah. Yeah. You know, and it's like, oh, they eat the bones of, or they smell the blood of a Christian man. It's like that's what sets them off. And then he comes walking into the big, like the, the bear suit that's like a suit of armor. I think, yeah, when he's under the, yes, because he has to take the blood from the troll. And so to do that, he has this giant, ridiculous syringe. Yeah. Just goofy. Yeah. Just goofy. I can tell they had a lot of fun making the movie, but it's, it's good. It's a romp. Yeah, it is. And yeah, it hits on all those, to me, I mean, I put the word Tolkien -esque in my notes of like, it hits the Tolkien -esque tropes. I mean, obviously it goes further than that, further back from that, like folk tales of trolls, but you also, I got to put like the Hobbit vibe, you know, the trolls turning into stone. Turning into stone. Yeah. But with like a tinge of bureaucracy. Yeah. There's a little bit of like that sort of, I don't know, pseudo X -Files thing of like, we've got to cover this up, you know, the government's got to step in and never happened. But, you know, of course that's exactly what it would look like if the government did have a troll hunting agency is he would have to fill out this form of like troll extermination. Yeah. But yeah, it's not some guys in some bad -ass car in black suits, it's like some guy in a Saab with a vest on like, oh yeah, let me see your footage over there. I'm going to have to delete your camera. It also reminded me somewhat of Blade where they're like fighting some old, you know, folkloric beast with like all the tech of today. It was just like, but on a shoestring budget, like Blade and Whistler where they're like, we're not exactly the March of Dimes or Hellboy. Yeah. We're just grabbing stuff. Well, no, Hellboy had a whole, you know, like a group behind him. I don't know, Blade had some cool tech though. Blade did. And a bad -ass car. But they were, you know, just a shoestring budget trying to, they're upset that their department doesn't get more funding. Right. They're like, this is what we got. He's just, he's like, I'm tired. I don't get vacation. Like, I just, I don't care. Yeah, you can film me. I don't care. I go where I'm needed. Great weather. I have that in my notes. I was like, I feel like Travis. I'm watching Sun and like in for my like rating, it's like, this is good weather. This is like good, foggy, rainy weather. I love it. And you know, they cut to like the mountains and the kind of cool, misty, you know, again, like Lord of the Rings vibe, the cool, misty mountains. And it's like good weather, you know? Yeah. I felt right at home in this flick. And I love, like you said that. Yeah, I've been saying that for years. You said like Quint from Jaws. That's exactly what I was thinking, too, is that when they have to, when they were filming him from afar, you know, found footage films are kind of difficult to do ever since what Blair Witch Project, obviously quintessential. Cloverfield also did it well. I love a giant kaiju monster. Paranormal activity? I have never seen any of the paranormals. Well, maybe I'm kind of a giant pussy. Come on. OK, well, hey, we got October coming up. That's true. But I think there's oh, I might have seen the end of quarantine, the one where there's like zombies. There's like a fire or something and news crew goes in there and they have to close. They have to quarantine the building or something. They're like, shit, there's something in here with us. I think I've seen that. Maybe. So I've heard good things about that. And it was a remake of a foreign film, I think. But those Quarantinos. Yes. But I hadn't seen a found footage from Robert Rodriguez's band. Yeah, I hadn't seen a found footage film in a while. And this one was actually the reason I got Netflix, because I was stealing my brother's Netflix. He was trying to watch something at the same time. And I was like, ah, fuck it. Fine, I'm going to buy it. So I watched this whenever it was on Netflix and I had heard good things about it. Which it's not anymore. Yeah, it's not. Couldn't find that anywhere. Bastards. Yeah, but I love the the fact that, you know, with not a huge budget, they're able to do more with less. I mean, all their money obviously went into the special effects and the trolls, which looked damn good. They looked really good. Yeah. You would think with this on paper, you're like, this is not going to be great. But it. Yeah, it looked lovely. It's a huge, giant fucking Godzilla troll at the end. First of all, where the fuck is he sleeping? Like how is he in the mountains? He's in the mountains. Yeah. But God, that thing's dick as big as a 40 foot long school bus. I don't know. I'm at school. I just said bus. I don't know why I said school bus. But yeah, I loved Hans in it. He was just fed up and was like, fuck this. But I was very pleasantly surprised when I saw it. And then there's a pseudo, not a sequel exactly, but kind of along the same vein, a movie named Just Troll came out in 2022.
Crypto Banter
A highlight from The Next MAJOR ATTACK On Crypto Has Begun!
"If you're feeling depressed or demotivated by this crypto pricing market you're not alone and this is probably going to be the most important show that you're ever gonna have to watch because I'm gonna put it all into perspective for you. A lot of people think that it actually may be about the price but it's actually not about the price because from a price point of view you can argue that we're actually doing okay you know like Bitcoin is still at 26 ,000 if you take where we've come from from the beginning of the year we are still 67 % up which is not bad for a pre -harving year so it's not about the price. What it is it's about the sideways chop movement combined with these ongoing attacks that we have to endure in crypto all the time and if you look at the latest attack that we've got in crypto it's now the SEC actually coming after NFT so it's like it feels like whatever we do whatever innovation we make whatever we try and and come up with the SEC just comes out and attacks us and you know this is really really really what the depression phase is about it's it's almost like death by a thousand cuts it's not that that quick death where the prices go down but it's actually at this death by a thousand cuts and I saw this tweet over here I'll actually show you this tweet over here so I saw the tweet and it show and it shows us this Wall Street cheat sheet around the altcoins and if let me let me actually make it a bit bigger and you can see but you can see that it feels like we're very very very much now in the sideways slightly going down getting into that depression phase and the problem with this phase is that this phase is like running a marathon this phase is about the fittest survive this is about the people who have the most stamina and most people actually fall out in this phase of the market that's why it's called the depression phase it's a phase that is designed to test your staying power it's a phase that is designed to test your conviction in this market and let me tell you in the last bull market in the last bear market I dropped out towards the end of this phase and was one of the biggest mistakes that I ever made because by the time I got back I got back and I'd missed half the run but lucky I got back in time and I still managed to make some money problem is with this phase that this phase can actually last very very very long in fact if we look at the last time that this phase happened I saw a tweet here let's actually look at where this tweet is that it could take up to 400 I will look at it during the show but it could take up to 400 days for this phase to pass it's really gonna be a big test it's important that if you are feeling that way if you are feeling like you're losing a bit of interest this is the show that you actually want to watch this is probably the most important show that you ever that you that you're gonna need that we've made at this time and I like this tweet because what this tweet says it really summarized says says time -based capitulation is now in full effect no new inflows daily addresses are stagnant developers are capitulating NFTs are trending to zero the only true believers the patient and the redacted remain this is the actual opportunity zone but today is gonna be about capitalizing on the actual opportunity zone and making sure that we don't capitulate that we don't land up like all the other channels I'm gonna show you a lot of a lot of the things that I've done I'm gonna show you a lot of the things that I'm looking at that keep me motivated to be here to be making content every single day so let's do it guys and let me know in the comments what you're feeling let me know how you feeling in the comments let me know if you're feeling what I described let me know if you're feeling the effects of the capitulation phase of the depression phase let me know if you wake up in the morning and don't really feel like looking at your crypto let me know if you questioning why you're still around and maybe even looking for other investments or maybe other places to put your money and if you're maybe looking for other jobs I know James and Josh that I know that I know that they're looking for other jobs also because I get I see the internet access and I see that they very much on job sites I saw that James was on some gems are gay porn job site I mean is that what you want to go now bro are you forming a coup I'm gonna be looking for are you gonna do the same thing you're gonna do the same thing that bit boys team did to bit boy I mean I look let's just really talk for two seconds about this whole bit boy thing and we did speak about it yesterday I really feel bad for him because he has spent a long time building something amazing I mean he built 1 .45 million subscribers and I mean his team must have been really really really pushed to get him out I saw that they published a statement yesterday after our show after we broke the news right here on banter we said yesterday BJ investment holdings the parent company of hit network took decisive legal action in removing Ben Armstrong from the company and specifically the bit boy crypto brand this difficult decision is a culmination of a prolonged effort to help in during his relapse into substance abuse as well as the reconcile emotional physical and financial damage he has done to the employees of hit network and bit boy crypto look it seems to me I mean I read a couple of things here the first thing is they had a legal leg to stand on to get him out of the channel which is kind of strange because I would have imagined that he's a shareholder and if he is a shareholder how do you get a shareholder out of the channel like that's quite a big thing I always thought that Ben was actually one of the biggest shareholders in bit boy crypto how do you get a majority shareholder out but if you read between the lines of there obviously it's some legal leg to stand on the other thing is it felt to me or it looks to me like they really really really tried hard to help him and to get him right like a prolonged effort to help in during his relapse into substance abuse as well as to reconcile the emotional physical and financial damage done the other thing is that we haven't heard anything from bit boy and usually bit boy is the loudest voice in the shed I've texted him a few times and let me not lie to you and actually just check if he has responded to any of my texts usually he would get back to me very quickly when I when I texted him I think now maybe slightly different could mean that he's in rehab could mean that he's just been told by his lawyers not to say anything maybe listen either way as we said very very very publicly yesterday he came out as I said Ben is not owned by hit Network Ben being the coin or bit boy crypto it is managed by separate entity controlled entirely exclusive are Ben Armstrong and Duchess of DeFi who's Duchess of DeFi let's follow her so that is what he came out and said look we came out yesterday and we said I like the people at bit boy crypto they're hard workers with a great work ethic TJ and all the guys they are very hard workers with with a with a great great great work ethic I really hope they succeed in building the business we will help them wherever we can and one of the things we're actually thinking of doing let me know if you think it's a good idea or a bad idea but to help the guys on the channel because we really want them to stay alive and to survive this so one of the things that we are pushing or what we will do to actually try and help them is we actually gonna have a viewing party where we actually just log on and actually watch their show with our community like we do when we do the FMC so basically we'll just log in we'll create a stream and our stream will actually watch their stream and hopefully that'll give more people exposure to that channel and that will help the channels recovery because I really want to help them as much as I can I really think that these are good people who've really tried hard to build a business and you know addiction is a bad thing addiction is a really really really tough thing and we can't judge someone because they have an addiction I know some people don't understand what addiction is and they think that addiction is just about you know maybe having a bit of an extra drink or maybe taking one extra opioid it's not that it's when you come reliant on it when you become reliant on a substance it's very very very very very hard to get off and we're gonna do whatever we can to help the channel and help them get on their feet we'll even go the extra mile to to do that so yeah so let us know what you think in the comments also listen if you're new to our channel and or if you've come over from the bit boy channel to our channel subscribe to our channel welcome anyone's welcome here I also like this content let me know what you think of my idea to try and help the bit boy crypto team someone says addiction here is tough yeah we're all addicted so someone says have fun storming the car phone we all have addiction we're traders you know it we right we all have addiction we are all traders the problem is that now in crypto we ain't getting our dope immune fix that's the problem here we ain't even you know like we came to crypto because we like volatility we came to crypto because we like action now there's no volatility there's no price action there's pretty much nothing I mean let's look at let's we can look at the bubble so if you look at the bubbles not much happening today pulse down again I'll never I'm never gonna see my money out of pulse Tommy one of our sponsors up ten point three three percent flex is down seventy one percent now I really hope that if you had flex you did swap it for the the open X tokens because as far as I understand if you had flex and you didn't swap it for the open X token that means that your your token is actually now worthless and it is I mean if you didn't swap it is as if today users can no longer convert flex to open X during the token migration over 35 million flex was converted by users issue I have here I think flex is a hundred million tokens in circulations which means that 65 million people sickening supply 100 million 98 million that means that that 65 million token holders didn't actually swap unless that's part of the the company Treasury so as I said look if you look at the bubbles it's getting depressing we came here because Oh Casper's getting to a nice level hold on a second hold on a second whoa whoa everybody hold the phone Wow three point two cents for Casper this is maybe nibble territory this is maybe this is where I would maybe look to start nibbling into Casper maybe after show maybe after show I'll start in the bling into Casper so anyway going back to it and going back to what you said going back to what you guys said is we're all addicts here we come here for the dopamine rush the problem is that now we're not even getting the dopamine rush on the show it's boring there's nobody left here there are no more bulls everyone is bullish everyone is bearish no everyone is gone and that's the truth of it if you look at it everyone is starting to go you got the volatility the Bollinger levels they've been ever this is the lowest the Bollinger bands have been ever ever this means that we're at a point now where the volatility is gone and that is what was keeping us here in the market now the truth is anyone who's been in a market for long enough knows that when the volatility goes when the volatility comes back up there is an explosive move but the problem is will you be around to experience that move which is almost inevitable I'm going to show you why that move is almost inevitable the other thing we're seeing is that searches for crypto have gone down to absolute zero long story short no one's interested anymore people in crypto are starting to pivot out of crypto I even saw my good friend CTO Larson who by the way I love he's starting to make videos on Nvidia you know and and you know James has always made videos about about stocks it just shows that not much going on and as a result of the fact that not much is going on well that's this is this is what what we're dealing with now this is this is what we're dealing what we're dealing with now the volume has gone down to an all -time low I also saw this so the pace of USDC art flows in an average week they issue 1 .1 but they were deeming 1 .4 billion dollars worth of stable coins which means that actually money is actually starting to leave crypto and I'm going to show you in a second where that money is going and why this actually may be a good thing but important for you to note that you know you're not alone here because money is actually starting to leave crypto because I think it's because of the bottom because of the the the the sideways the sideways returns and stuff like that now what you got to know here is is this is the time when champions are made and I want to show you something here so this is the time where I read this tweeted time capitulation is in full effect new no new inflows the daily addresses are stagnant devs are capitulating NFTs trading to zero only true believers the patient and the redacted remain this is the true opportunity zone and what what keeps us here is you've got to have your eye on the prize you have to keep your eye on the prize and say no matter how tough this race is you have to get to the finish line of this race why because you've been here for so long and I'll never forget eight weeks before an Iron Man eight weeks before the Lisbon Iron Man I did I had a phone call with one of my friends I'd never swung before I could hardly run and I was I was quite a good cyclist and I had a phone call with one of my friends and he said to me I said hey what you know what are you doing it's I'm training for Iron Man I said where's the Iron Man he said no the Iron Man's in Portugal in Lisbon I said I'm in I went to a swimming teacher and I jumped in the pool swimming with my head out the water swimming teacher says to me I said can you have me ready in time for Iron Man she said yeah definitely I can have you ready in time for next year April which is the Iron Man in South Africa she said no I said to her no I said the Iron Man is in eight weeks she looked at me said you got no chance truth is though kept my eye on the prize trained and trained and trained and got to the race now as I arrived at the race in Portugal my wife phoned me said I'm going into labor with you with you she was in South Africa I was in Portugal my wife phoned me said I'm going into labor my son was about to be born I probably shouldn't have gone away because my wife was due that week and there was no way I could get back so I said to go to the doctor and tell the doctor to keep the baby in somehow what she basically did anyway the next day was Iron Man it was the hardest race of my life I was completely completely completely unprepared but what did I do I just focused on the prize I just focused on finishing the race getting the medal getting home and and and and going to watch my wife give birth and actually here is just to show you actually I'm not around a motorcyclist but I actually did manage to keep my eye on the prize and actually managed to finish the Iron Man and it was not a great time with six hours and 40 minutes but I managed to do it I managed to do it and I had to wear that those lycra's and shit like that so I guess the what separates the the boys from the men what separates the real athletes from from those who can't run and can't do anything else is the ability to keep the eyes on the prize and block out the noise in this time and if you look at who's actually keeping the eyes on on on the prize I read this tweet over here which is hearing rumors of pessimism creep into the market and certainly feeling it with friends that I speak to just a friendly reminder that the largest asset manager on earth are fighting to front -run each other on the ETF approvals for the spot Bitcoin ETFs and futures -based ETH ETFs you've you've just had validation the validation you dreamed of for years with respect to TradFi embracing fully the crypto future without even inclinations to embrace token with even inclinations to embrace tokenization of equities commodities and other sectors TradFi has never been more bullish whilst those who are crypto natives have never been more bearish now TradFi know how to keep their eyes on the prize BlackRock know how to keep their eyes on the prize they know that this is just a function of cycles and in a cycle you're gonna get ups and you're gonna get downs and unfortunately now we're going through a bad part of the cycle we're going through a bad part of the liquidity cycle and I'll show you in a second how that is how that is is affecting you but what what you can see here is you can see that what these guys are doing in the background is they are actually buying the miners okay so BlackRock is passively buying up miners for their index futures funds on behalf of clients because BlackRock is I think the was it the fourth BlackRock is a shareholder in four out of the five largest public crypto miners and I think it's the number two shareholders yeah BlackRock is ranked number two shareholder now ask yourself a question is BlackRock buying these mining stocks to flip them or is BlackRock buying these mining stocks on behalf of their clients because their clients are bullish on the future of Bitcoin it's exactly that their clients are bullish on the future of Bitcoin and that is why BlackRock is taking the opportunity to fill up their bags at a time like this so these guys are experts at keeping their eyes on the price now how long is this is this depression phase gonna last bad news is this depression phase may be like the Ironman that I ran six hours and 40 minutes of hell on the road okay I'll tell you one of the stories I finished this the swim I finished a cycle after the cycle you got a 21 kilometer run so you've just cycled for four hours or three and a half hours and then you've swam for 38 minutes and now you get out and you got to start running it was hot and I was running and there were a lot of supporters in Lisbon in Cascais and they started pouring water on us because I wanted to keep us cool but the water was going into my shoes and I was getting blisters I was getting bad blisters now imagine it's your first half Ironman you're running you're getting blisters it's the worst day of your life it is the longest race of your life now that is where we at at the moment this thing can last long I mean I went back to see how long this period was in the previous in the previous market and here it is if you take the top to the next time we breach that high 491 days it took 491 days okay now look maybe we've maybe we've we've we've got less in fact if you look at at this thing over here he says if we were to do the same thing we still need to go for 384 days to create a higher macro high and break 31 ,000 for good now I think that that's the worst case scenario I think that the markets changing the market structures changed but I mean you've got to keep your eyes open you got to keep your your eyes you got you got it make sure that you have enough enough gel packs and make sure that you have enough food and whatever else you need to go that distance and look maybe we go that distance maybe we don't go the distance but regardless make sure that you guys are packed make sure that you have whatever you need to actually run the dress we'll be here running with you well we will as a community we will all run together and when one of you feels one of you feels like like you're falling out we will all help you get back we will push you we will carry you we'll put our arms around you we'll walk with you we'll make sure that as a community we all get to the end of the race that's for sure we're gonna be a it's not about winning the race yeah it's about making sure we all get through this race together so that's it as I said there's a big boys the guys that are race fit the guys that have done a hundred Ironman because one thing one thing I saw when I was doing the Ironman is there's a big difference between people like me who came for the first time and people that have done this a million and one times the people that have done this a million one times they run and they look super relaxed and they smiling at everybody people like me who haven't done this before I was suffering I kept looking at people thinking am I gonna collapse is he gonna collapse is everyone around me those that had actually run the race many times those that were experienced they were smiling they were having a good time they knew exactly what was it and that's exactly what's happening here with Blackrock that's exactly what's happening here with all the the investors for me for you for everybody else here for every for all of us this is our first Ironman race this is the first time that I've seen contracting liquidity and increasing liquidity I didn't pay attention to liquidity increasing global liquidity increasing you you didn't pay any attention to global liquidity increasing but there are people that have done many many many of these races and they have been paying close attention to these liquidity cycles for a long period of time and they know that this is exactly a part of the liquidity cycle right now global liquidity is down when global liquidity is down and risk assets go down that's what it is there it is you can see it over there they also know that liquidity is a function exactly a function of Bitcoin is exactly a function of global liquidity here is US financial liquidity regimes and here is the price of Bitcoin the red indicates decreasing liquidity the green indicates increasing liquidity it's simple liquidity Bitcoin risk assets crypto is a function of liquidity right now global liquidity is decreasing because the u .s.
The Plant Movement Podcast
Plant-Sourcing Platform GoMaterials Has an Eye to the Future
"How much time do you spend on innovating the next moves for Go material? Because I feel like you are a guy that spends time doing that. How much time do you spend on the future of Go materials? And do you see a need for Go materials to continue to evolve? So if, uh, I don't know if you heard like recently, I, I actually, so I, I, my partner, Mike Shireen and myself, I am very much an operator. I love being in the weeds. That's what I was telling you. I, I've been, I speak to our customers every day. I love that. There's nothing more like I'm, I'm in love with landscape contractors, even though they can be a pain sometimes. That's what I service. And I love the green industry. There's nothing more that makes me happier when I walk down the street and I see it's just street trees, mature ones lined up, canopying the road. Recently I switched positions with my partner, Mike, who's now CEO and I've taken on the position of COO. So I focus less time on actually planning the actual technology kind of makes up an hour and a couple hours of my, of my week where I do sit down with my two co -founders, kind of give my two cents because at the end of the day in this company, I'm still one of the best experts at the whole industry. I have extreme knowledge of the industry more than anyone else. And there's a running joke at the company that I'm the best plant sourcer in the world. Just cause I, I, I source all over North America. There's no one that does sources and knows nurseries all over North America. You give me a tree, I'll tell you 15 suppliers that have it at a good size. It's just like a Bible in my head. So I do contribute to it, but then I let them run with it at the end of the day and then kind of give my two cents every now and then. My question should have been redirected go materials instead of you, let's say go materials, go materials, time on innovating and to see where the, where the company can be in the next year or two years, three years, five years, you guys spend time doing all that. We have a full tech team of eight, eight to 10 people doing that full time with our co -founder Shereen, who's heading up the product. And that's pretty much her full -time job. So I say that because listen to our podcast, one of the things that people wonder is how to scale, you know, and then people think that scaling is just, you know, buying more real estate or buying this or buying that. And it's not a hundred percent, just that a lot of it is what your moves are for the future. And are you thinking about what your moves are and innovating and pushing towards that? So the fact that you guys have eight people on staff, it's like your train is at a hundred miles an hour. So have fun catching up
Crypto Banter
A highlight from SHIBA, HBAR And RUNE Are PUMPING! (What Altcoins Are NEXT?)
"Dear diary, it's now day 54 of this sideways movement in Bitcoin, and every day we have to make amazing, amazing, amazing content. And even though every YouTuber in the world has made a thumbnail about how the volatility is coming to Bitcoin, Bitcoin doesn't care. And in fact, if I look at the volatility on Bitcoin, it's now at a five year low and no one cares about crypto anymore. That's pretty much where we are at volatility that hasn't been there for five years. And the sentiment is that no one cares about crypto anymore, but there are altcoins that are actually moving. And if you want to look at these altcoins, mainly altcoins that we've actually spoken about on the show. So let's look at the altcoins that are actually moving. Number one, you've got Flex. If you look at where Flex was 30 days ago, $3 .39. If you look at where Flex coin is today, $6 .15, almost 100 percent in this kind of environment. Unibot, if you take it where it was a month ago, more or less, it was at $50 today trading at $171. So there was a 3X over there. Then you got Rune, which has been at about 80 cents and now had a breakout. I'm going to talk a lot about Rune today because maybe this thing can go. Because the thing with Rune is, or Thoughtchain or whatever, however you prefer calling it. If you look here, it has been at $21 and it came back here and a lot of people lost faith in Rune. But now it's back up at $137. And maybe there's a long way up. We'll actually talk about what Rune is, how it works and why it's actually moving. Another one that's moved up pretty well, Shiba. Shiba's up 74 percent since it's low in June. And I'm glad to say that a lot of these tokens we actually spoke about here on our show. So if you have been paying attention in this market, in this boring sideways market that everybody is dying about, well, you would have got a lot of these 3Xs. And I think what this goes to show is that the market doesn't care. Doesn't care about your biases. Myles, actually Myles Deutscher said it perfectly, very smart Myles. He says, you know, Robert is hated for being a gambling Ponzi coin that's up 217 percent in two weeks. Unibot, hated for being too centralized, up 183 percent in three weeks. OpenX, hated for being Kyle and Suzu's coin, up 107X in two weeks. And he's right. The market doesn't care about your biases. The market will do whatever the market has to do. So the only way to stay alive in this market is actually to look at the data. And if we look at the data, what we can see, HBAR is up today. Render is up. Frax is up. Ape is up. If we look at this week, we can see that Rune is up 45 percent. That's why we're going to spend a lot of time talking about Rune. Robert, we have spoken about so we're not going to speak about it today. HBAR up 16 .12 percent. We're going to talk about that today. Sheep, we're going to talk about sheep today. Telegram or Ton, not talking about that today. We're also going to talk about Ape. Have I already said Ape? I may have said Ape. Okay, so that's what that's what today is about. There are altcoins that are running. I know it feels a little bit boring. If you want to if you want to know what's running, you need to understand the formula. You need to understand the narratives. And there is money to be made in this market. And if there's money to be made, well, we are going to make money in this market. Now, I know that everyone's feeling a little bit down. Is there a way that we can get the get the fuck out of bed bitch go song or is that like not on our on our on our thing anymore? Is it gone now, James? Have you removed it? It can be brought back. Can you bring it back now? No. Okay. Well, we'll bring it back for you tomorrow. All right. So let's go. Let's start. Let's start today's thing. Let's start today's show with a prayer that the market will actually start moving. All right, well, as you can see, nothing is going to move this market. Nothing is going to move Bitcoin off this twenty nine thousand three hundred level. You know what I thought? I thought that when the ETF decision would come up, whether it's a yes or no, like if I thought it was if it was a yes, obviously the market would run. If it was a no, I thought, OK, like some assholes would actually sell their Bitcoin because they were expecting a yes. No one was expecting. Yes. Not even that could move the market. That's where we're at. And you've got two options while while is happening. One is you can tap out. The problem is if you tap out, it's going to be very tough for you to come back into crypto or you can actually dig deeper, find better narratives. And that's what we've actually done here before. If you look at the narratives that have come out here that have actually run, uni bot, we told you about uni bot at less than 50 dollars flex. We told you about flex at I think 36 cents. Today it's been as high as seven dollars. We told you about rollbit at two cents or three cents. We told you about 4chain two weeks ago and it was at 80 cents. We called it here on the show. So it's a case of, you know, if you're willing to do the hard work, yes, it's not as much fun, but the bull market will come back. And when the bull market comes back, if you're up to date and you know what's going on, you will make life changing money in the interim. What you have to be is you have to be, if you want to make money, you have to be a cold hearted, unemotional trader. That's the only way to make money. That's actually exactly what I'm doing in the buy but trading competition. So I've become a cold. Look at me, look at me. I have become a cold heartless trader. James saying, James here in the corner saying person, James, James was saying, you've been a cold heartless person for how long already? How long have you said I'm a cold heartless person for James? James says in my next life, I'm going to come back as an employee, as opposed to as a boss. And that'll be like the punishment for what I do to him. Poor guy. Anyway, so I have, as you can see, I have become a cold heartless trader, but it's paying dividends. So that's what I'm doing in the buy but trading competition. You see, I'm number 27 in our squad. My ROI is 53 .56%. The reason why I think I am where I am is because I actually have become cold and heartless. So I've been using this RSI tool, the RSI tool without any kind of bias tells me where the tokens are overbought and oversold. And I've been buying the ones that are that are oversold, and I've been selling the ones that are overbought. So if you look at my portfolio now, portfolio, can't call this a portfolio because it's hardly a portfolio, I'm long on GMX. And I think I'm going to hold that long. I'm also short on Rune, but I'm going to close at some point because I do think Rune is going to continue to go up. And I'm short HBAR because I think that there is news, but I don't think this news is worthy of driving this token up. And you've got to be cold and you've got to be heartless, regardless of what kind of emotions you have towards the token. I did say to you guys that every transaction that I make in the buy but trading competition, I will update you on. I am updating you. The updates are going into our Discord. Now look, I know some of you can't use Discord because I'm one of those people. I find it really, really, really hard to use Discord. So we're going to start posting the same updates in the Telegram. For those of you who have missed the Discord updates, here they are. So this was an update that I did. I'm sure I did one at my house the other day. Yeah, this one I did at home. Morning, morning, morning. It's an unbelievable day here in Cape Town, as you can see, standing on the balcony at the bottom. My GMX position from yesterday is in the money now, so here it is. It's up, as you can see, 15%, which brings my account up to about 30%, 35%. I'm going to keep this position open. I'm going to keep adding to it because I think that the seller who was in the market is now out the market. The other position that I'm looking at is a lot of the new positions. So I've been posting those. I posted another one this morning. Morning, morning, morning, legends. Here we are at the Banta offices. You can see I posted one this morning. He's for preparing his show. How are you doing the training competition, bro? Yo, I got stopped last night, but I'm on it. You got stopped last night. Man, that's one soldier down. For those of you who haven't been to the Banta offices before, this is where it's at.

Gas prices rise again in New Jersey and around the nation
"Gas prices continued to rise around the nation, this past week, but analysts say a drop in demand and falling oil prices may soon bring relief at the pumps. The national average for a gallon of regular gas was $3 and 68 cents on Friday, up two cents from last week according to triple-A, but drivers were paying $4 and 12 cents a gallon on average a year ago at this time. In New Jersey the average price for a gallon of regular jumped 8 cents in a week to three 52, again drivers were paying four O 8 a gallon on average a year ago at this time. Oil prices fell this week amid ongoing market concerns that future interest rate increases could tip the economy into a recession, a move analysts say will likely lead to reduced oil demand and prices in the near future.

Live Behind The Veil
Let's Create One Another - burst 1
"Welcome to live behind the veil and atmosphere where men and women of God speak his word to this age and bring his kingdom to this earth. Do you have ears to hear and eyes to see what God is doing in this hour? Let us join our host and the family's conversation as the Holy Spirit is unfolding. The word behind the veil. How do you see your neighbor? How do you see those in your family? I'm on your host, and on this podcast, the family discusses how important it is to see one another as the lord sees them. The lord does not look at the things people look at, people look at the outward appearance, but the lord looks at the heart. What we want to see is how the lord sees an individual. And that's how we pray for that person or inner seed. That's what we focus on because it's what the lord shows us who that person is, not the things that people go through. That's irrelevant. It really doesn't matter. I knew a pastor and what he would do is occasionally he would write in the middle of his message. He would start talking about someone in the congregation. He would identify somebody and start expressing how the lord showed him about who that person is. And that changed every other person in the congregation how they saw that person. It lifted him up. It caused the rest of the congregation to have a faith for that person that they did not have for them prior to his explanation. That's really what we are to be with one another. What's the lord showing you about me? What's he showing me about you? Lord show me who this person is. That's who I'm holding to you, lord, and intercession. This is a son. This is one of your chosen ones. You become a co creator, it's creating one another. If I come to you with a problem, create me. Don't diagnose me and tell me where I'm wrong. I already know that. That's a given that whole principle of creating and being thankful to express yourself in Thanksgiving or to tell them things that the lord's showing you about them, they don't know how to take that. Because it's something that's not normal to the human realm. It's not normal to the human relating human nature is negative. It looks at things that it calls it well, that's just that's the facts. Right. You know, I know me, this is my facts about me. I know my world, you know, this is what everybody thinks this is what the culture thinks. This is taking that right out of that realm. And so you're talking about going against the grain. Very much. How do you impart a Thanksgiving? Well, I think when we're talking about this, we have to start simple. Sometimes you can only start with simple things. You're so kind. You're so loving. You seem to be so caring. Starting on simple things with simple things, but remember, we're ministering to others that are in different places. That's good. I take time and I actually ask the lord teach person I talk with and sometimes, I'll go up to someone and say, do you really know how important you are? Do you know that there is much more in your life that's going to be happening than you're aware of? It's like you create a person's life that way. You help create you in part. You put in a spirit of anticipation and expectation that something is going to happen for that person. That changes a lot because it helps reduce or eliminate hopefully the negativity that everybody keeps telling them, oh, you're not worth two cents. Everybody wants to put everybody down. So if you come in and you start creating, you are important. You are an amazing person that God is going to use. Who me? Yes. Yeah, you. And then look at Gideon. What are you talking to me about who's this man of valor, you're talking about? I can't see anybody else. It's not me. Yes it is. Yes it is. You create a person. You take the opportunity. You have the ability to create in someone's spirit, life. Because we have been imparted life, we can impart that life to anybody, and you ask the lord, right, you ask the lord specifically, what do you want to say to that person? I mean, in your heart, as you're talking to them, okay, what do I say, lord? How do I handle it? You know, do you want me to say anything? Or do you not me want me to say anything? There's one way that I found that works every time. And I don't care if they're brand new, or they've been around for years. And that is, I thank God for you. Yes. And what that does is that draws God through that person. In a way that they did not understand. Because now they're thinking is, I've got to understand what this guy's talking about. He thanks God for me, and all of a sudden he's looking around and who's there. God's there. Because we drew him into the situation. We draw cod into the situation of our relationship. Of what may be bothering one or both of us, we want to be positive in what we say to somebody. I thank God for you, sandy. And we can say it. And we can believe it. Every way we can we're bringing God into the situation, a person that's new to a deeper revelation or a deeper walk with God is to somebody to come along and encourage them by bringing God into it. And you don't even have to say the name God. If it's not appropriate, love, that's God. Just love them. Well, after this podcast, I think we need to ask the lord to open our eyes to see how he sees and how he loves one another. Then we can begin to create one another by his love flowing through us.

New York's Race-Based Preferential COVID Treatments Are Wholly Unethical
"I told you last week about how the state of New York was prioritizing. Antibody treatments for COVID based on race. They actually have a document that they put out the health department saying that they consider race if you are non white or Latino to be a qualifying a pre qualifier. It puts you first on the list. Because historically, you've been at a disadvantage. Think about that. They are trying to use race right now to bump people up for healthcare. So if I'm a wealthy Colombian born Wall Street trader or banker, I get treatment for preferential treatment over the poor poor white guy that doesn't have two cents to rub together. I mean, think about how wrong that is. It's so insane. And yet this president and his party have increasingly moved in that direction. And in doing so, and in doing so, they are leaving America and Americans behind, because everyday Americans, I don't care the color of your skin. You don't care about all that, jazz. When you are looking at a 7% increase in the cost of everything you do.

What is a who was your favorite character in a book or a movie and those hard to pick just one but when they just kind of comes to mind i gosh favorite character in burke or movie It is hard to pick one. I would say. I was a kid who i loved. I loved reading growing up. And i loved fantasies And i would say that one. Of the inspirations for me with writing was that i didn't often see You know brown skin characters like in those kinds of adventures that I like to read like whether it's like chronicles of narnia. I think you see a lot more. You know mike black characters in like historical fiction been you did in like fantasy stories So i don't know. I think i loved. I loved like a wrinkle in time. And so like neg wrinkle. I i loved. You know things like lucy in the narnia chronicles I think movies. Like i love the little mermaid obviously exist writing a different kind of mermaid but Yeah i think you know. Those fantastical stories were kids. Get to be on adventures. Yeah it makes me think about Gloria lattes doctor. Gloria lattes in billings work around mirrors windows in sliding glass doors. And as you were talking. I was thinking. What would i say as my character. It probably would be that. I'm drawn to Black female characters. That i just i'm drawn to en- does are Have big loud voices where they kind of command the space when they walk in. And i think now where i am in you know just who i am. I think that would be why.

You know real writers try to do also that you know when you're drafting. Sometimes you really close to your work and you put aside even for a short while and come back to it. It lets you. You're able to see things that you couldn't see before But we talk about like you know what it is to share your work with others and how to give feedback to other people so it really is kind of a beginning step of something that we we work on all through the year in terms of how to talk about our writing and how to share and had to rebuy so it's a great program.

A students need to be able to do the kind of writing that they might encounter when they get to high school and they get to college. But you know it. It is really. I know limiting for teachers when you have the you know the assessment in the certain things that like you have to do because the students are going to be tested on it and so. I definitely feel for teachers in that situation. I fortunately imminent system. Where i in independent schools where it's a little bit more open and so there's a little bit more freedom for Thinking about like how you construct the curriculum But i think even within that there's definitely ways that teachers can you know given the opportunities for those moments And i think everything you know. We talk about volley so important just like with reading volume is important writing. It's as well and not everything has to be assessed and so even just to give students. You know a few minutes as an entry ticket or an exit ticket to write about something Different formats different topics or something that they cheese. That isn't necessarily success Can give those opportunities as well. Yeah i remember. There was a homework.

Not because you're not gifted but it's because they don't expect much out you don't expect they they they don't expect excellence out of you and so i don't want you to improperly define what excellent truly means we will determine by the end of this program year if you truly are gifted because we're gonna show you what you excellences and we're gonna teach you how to be you know. So you're you're exactly right now. They don't spend much out of our kids as long as you could do the bare minimal though they'll slap that gifted label on clapboard. Now that's not enough. Yeah and then. They get to college in struggle because her how to advocate for themselves. And they don't know how to you know. Think critically in classes and add value to conversations or classroom discussions they shrink in spaces and you know for all of the attendance that you just talked about. It really allows students to show up in spaces and not shrink but their voice to advocate and to To talk about change and and to be courageous even as a young student be courageous to speak what it is that needs to be spoken. And i know when i see Harvard university the scholars every single Scholar that. I see they go into a room in demand. There's no so Definitely definitely It is experiential and you can tell by what the students you know you can tell by. The students their behaviors and how they show up in spaces. I've pulled a quote from your book. I kind of put pieces together. But i thought this was a very powerful book. I'm powerful force book. But a powerful quote and i want you to tell me Kind of what. This means for your scholars. All right so it says. I tell the stories and pin uncomfortable truth because it's hook me far too long to learn that where a man has no voice. He does not exist but when he discovers his voice he determined that he can sing and some in the sound of hope a hope and resistance a hope and resilience a hope and revolution. This song i sing.

If i have to sit into space and you are spitting information to me. I am trying to figure out how. I'm going to use it if i can't i tune out. Yeah that's why kids even in auburn What our kids struggle with the most when against arbor program is analysis battista There are three questions three fundamental questions around analysis when you look at literature What does the text me you know around interpretation. There's what did the author attempt to do. And the last is what do you think or feel about it in that. Last one day struggle with the they struggle and you would think that it would be the easiest one but they struggled with it. Because like i don't i don't know what to think about this. I don't know what to do about this because they're not trained to to themselves as they examined the literature they they're not trained to do that They think we we've gotten to the point. Where in education. We have made students feel like they are irrelevant when actually they're the most important thing in the room you know what i'm saying and so It's it's unfortunate that we arrived at this place. But but that's why i called book that i wrote miseducated because for me i never saw myself in education a in anything that i was learning on. But it's not because it wasn't there. It's because i never had a teacher who was able to make the connection and so i was missed educated in my perception of of the educational process I think what does your curriculum say about. What does your curriculum say about the students that you teach whether it's black kids in and how he portrayed or omit the black experience what does the same and so for me. It told me that i was not relevant. It told me that that that black people weren't scholars. you know. that's what i believed. Because i didn't have access to black scholars and so i didn't think blacks cows existed inside it in. I couldn't aspire to it you know. The representation is lynch the which we dream. You know so. I dreamed about doing things that i was represented. You know such as basketball such as rat. I'm such as getting activity. You know that's where i saw my presence And so that's where i saw my identity. Imagine if we did that with education. That's powerful i think about my daughter She said to me That she's so tired of reading about black people only during black history month in a Her former school that was when they talked about black history..

Congressional Hearing Puts Bitcoin and DeFi in the Hot Seat
"Now there has been something of an alarming shift in. Tone around crypto among. Us politicians yesterday congressman. Bill foster participated in an interview with axios and gave insight into how much sentiment among us. Lawmakers was turning against crypto quote. I'm not there yet. But there's significant sentiment in congress that if you're participating in an anonymous crypto transaction that you are a defacto participant in a criminal conspiracy for the sake of this episode and me actually getting all the way through it. Let's get it out of the way that this is an absurd point of view. It's like saying that if someone buys cigarettes or alcohol or condoms with cash. They're part of a criminal conspiracy. It's ridiculous but unfortunately i don't see much resonance for that argument as we'll see. I believe that lawmakers right now are more likely to want to ban. cash than to accept. Anonymous crypto transactions anyway. I wanted to get my two cents on the absurdity of this whole line of reasoning out of the way so that we can focus on the tonal shift in the same interview foster argued that it's not just governments but actually citizens investors that want the ability to quote unmasked crypto participants and reverse fraudulent transactions. Quote i think for most people if they are going to have a big part of their net worth tied up in crypto assets. They're going to want to have that security. Blanket of a trusted third party crypto. Twitter has been quick to point out that one of the fundamental purposes of crypto currencies is to remove the need for trusted third parties in other words. A reasonable response from many crypto advocates. Might be that if an end user wants a security blanket of a trusted third party then perhaps crypto is not for them now. One important note is that this conversation is also caught up in design considerations around a us digital dollar put differently. The conversation is not just about whether private or anonymous crypto transactions should be allowed. But how much privacy and anonymity should be designed into a forthcoming. Us cdc quote. There's a middle ground that we have to strive for somewhere between the cat at criminal ransomware environment that we're seeing in some crypto assets and it completely surveilled environment and i think that middle ground is third party anonymity where ninety percent of the time the blockchain will determine who gets paid. What but in. Those rare instances where something fraudulent criminal or mistaken has happened that you have to be able to unmask and potentially reverse those

I benefit from that and And that's what people need. They really need to feel like this is not some big scary thing. There are some sophisticated tools that can help us get clearer. Aren't some stuff but really what they need is is some empathy for where they are a place to talk about what they're scared about and Where they can know that they're safe and they're not being judged for not knowing some things so really need talk more about that like i mean do. Do you think that the finnish world needs more empathy in general because that is one of the one of the core components that on your on your site. Yeah how does that play into the financial advice and talking through money with clients. Oh gosh. I think it's huge. Of course. of course we need more empathy.

"And of green gables. Okay yeah all right i actually. I actually traveled to prince. Edward island as an adult. Just two visits The house where montgomery lived and wrote the books. Yeah so you really fell in love with that book. Okay so out. Five million books since then but yes. That was the first thing that was the person answered all right. So if you weren't a teacher what would you be. I mean writing. The great american novels would be you know the dream answer or something in the world of of passionate and powerful about being able to develop teacher leaders and creating space for teachers to stay in classrooms but also has actual real and authentic voices and so figuring out ways to do that broader. Where all the be a passionate mind someday. Okay you know. It's always hard as teachers because we spend so many hours in doing something education related to think of our life. Outside of outside. I need to. I should change that. If you weren't in education what would you be the great american gals bill. You go okay. So the last question. Hopefully you eat ice cream. What's your favorite flavor ice cream. So there is a ice cream place in alexandria. Virginia called kill wins. Chaining their other places and eighty. Hey how this labor called. I'm twisted coconuts. And here's why it's so amusing so most coconut chocolate ice creams like hooking flavored ice cream with chocolate chips it but the killing slater is actual pieces of toasted coconut covered in chocolate mixed into the ice. Ns see now you me go out there tomorrow to talk the toasted coconut. Thanks how it yeah. It's dangerous it seasonal. But i'm quite it's in season right now so your own issue. Yeah pressure all right. So what tips would you give to folks. That would like to get started on you know. Just kind of rethinking. The whole idea of teaching Not from a deficit mindset but really addressing in connect. Excuse me but really connecting with students during instruction. Yeah i think You know the first first thing i would say is is finding ways in those early weeks that students can Write about themselves and speak themselves in real and authentic ways Again literacy to jers like we can give them writing prompts about themselves. We can ask them. What are the things you love and hate What are things that make you excited to get our bed in the morning You know i start my class. Dj list And we play different songs and you learn so much. I have a student this year. Who by the way love to listen to seventies tunes hanging out in her backyard like such a use. It can be a powerful way to learn. A lot of kids are with. What's your favorite song. What's the song you play. When you're sad song you play in happy And through all of this you start to learn a lot about their passions in about their strengths You know so if what they love to do is play. Certain kinds of video games on his video games have a narrative to whom you can speak to that with student. You can help show them how the skills of reading that video game near. The toes can transfer into You know reading other types of novels and stories And so i would say that just getting to know kids really well in those first couple of weeks They reveal a lot of their strengths that they won't reveal if you just ask them. What are you good at. That's probably get you. We'll get answers so think of ways that you can really get to know them. And then i think also Giving choice early on in the ways that they show their learning You know so so making sure that the your your assessment of learning is varied and taps into a wide variety of strength. So you want to know their influencing about the poem that you read. Can they require themselves. Speaking in on flip grid can they draw a interpretation can they create Some kind of alternate point of view piece of writing. They giving them lots of choice early on the way they show their learning So that you're really trying to see what all they know from different angles Anything that that's really important especially early on So that you don't say oh or like these kids know anything about him and it's like well. Maybe the question wasn't the best right so joined to figure out what kids know and giving them the choice and ways to do that. I think can can help you really learn What they do know yes and when you were talking about assessments assessments. It made me. Think about dr kerry oranges peel session That was just really really good and unpacking how you can authentically. Assess your students in a variety of age. Just like a. And i'll also put in the show notes output. The linked to the session of it is a must watch an all previous podcast episode. I had dr kerry orange jones on and we talked about that in detail. Yes she seems so powerfully. Put it like. Why is it that we teach to all different learning styles and learning brutalities but we only assess Really to one of them. And why are we doing that. You know I thought that was such an important thing to highlight to that. We should also beaming assessments All different types of modalities and allowing kids to showcase all different kinds of strength says while definitely well it's been a joy Just talking with you. Elizabeth the follow you and to just hear more about just what you're doing with your students and seen some of the examples where can folks fine you on social media. Great i try to tweet. And then i am so bad about it. So knowing that people might be the following the tweets. I should. It will motivate me to do that more am i am on twitter It's at lacy literacy And and i i do. I do tend to shy away from tweeting. As much as i should say that i have found in the during this pandemic time how how powerful tweeting can be so. It's something i'll work on. Okay good good good. Awesome all right. Well thank you again for your time and thank you. This will be very very helpful for those that are ready to do this work because our students need us. They need us to work together to help them to be the best that they can be for the world not just in our classes but for the world. So thank you for listening in this episode. All have a wonderful day and happy..

"Christly men and carry jones You know the three of us together really dug into this and and it all started the conversation of just wondering what have we been thinking about lately and From their sort of really rapidly spiraled into some some important and powerful digging into this topic so i would say that For me. I used to say my my education. Mantra is very simple out which they need to know. we must teach And we you know. We have to tap into passions of the students. In front of us we always have to scaffold for the needs and readiness of students And and that's always true right. It's always true that that we need to do that I would also say that in this particular year. It's so important that we as educators are looking at the individual children in front of us and not just panicking. And buying into the hype. Said all of our students are coming to us at this loss. And they're so low and we have so much ground to catch up with and we need to just hurry up and jump into diagnosing everything from with them and and fix it and You know it's really Doing such a disservice to our kids and to our educators who have been working really hard this year to continue building Many things with our kids and they're gonna come to us next year or more tech savvy than ever I think probably more hungry to learn than a as a middle school teacher. I think probably more so than we've experienced in awhile right more. Empathetic i think to our current world and the question is how can we embrace that. How can we capitalize on that. And it starts by seeing the individuals in front of us in a real powerful way and not just anticipating data points or thinking about Sort of the the giant picture of of post pandemic teaching as it were i. I'll goodness i mean. I wanted to amen everything that you were saying..

"Yes it's all about encouraging it's all about sharing strategies. It's all about going on an educational journey with each other. You are not alone. And i hope that when you finish listening to this podcast you feel like you went on a journey with educators around the world. Thank you for tuning in to my to thank. This episode is dedicated to the term has been thrown around. I think the most when it comes to education in the pandemic learning loss. You know you think about it. How do you lose. Something never had a bit said it so well in this episode. I can't lose a million dollars if i never had a million dollars. Listen in as we unpack. What the term learning loss means and how dangerous it is to enter into the school care thinking get. Our students have lost something. I am so excited that you are tuning in today. We have a hot topic to discuss today. The idea of learning law okay. So our guest today. Elizabeth lacy shellenberger will join us in talking about this whole idea of learning loss. Can you share with us. Your teacher journey sure have a very very long interesting journey. I actually fresh out of graduating from Undergrad university of oklahoma. I was recruited by a organization called teach for america and was sort of dropped in the middle of the south bronx. I spent the first two years of my teaching life with no traditional teaching background on teaching. Middle school In the south bronx and sort of learning baptism by fire style. At the end of this two years. I was sort of not sure exactly what i wanted to do. But i knew they still wanted to be really connected to education And i spent a year working out of community college and working with their disability services department As a reading specialist. And by that point i was really starting trying trying to really understand what it was that was leading to so many challenges in the world of education and seeing it from a different side seeing from the adult learner perspective as well was really It was important learning experience for me and one that made me realize i was sort of feeling called to go back into the world of k. Twelve education and and Keep my focus there so back into another middle school and this time also in new york city but in washington heights and he spent Several years of that school and i felt very blessed to be there. During that time we We were Columbia university teachers college school. So we a lot of staff development from You know different. different perspectives. We had workshops where we got to spend a lot of time in other teacher's classrooms To summer institutes So there was just a large emphasis put on teacher training and development and Learning collaboratively and that was something that The allowed me to learn a lot as a teacher and and to push my practice with fellow teachers and that was powerful I love. I love my teaching there. I didn't particularly. I wasn't dying to leave the classroom. I wanted to at that point. I wanted to feel like i had more of a voice In so shifted becoming a literacy coach and eventually moved into split administration And i spent several years in in various roles doing that Until fairly recently and Recently had sort of felt. I felt very much sort of disconnected from teachers and students. I find that sometimes when you. I'm spent a long time in in administration. You think you're going to spend a lot of time with teachers students and I felt like that was really where i getting to focus my time. And my energy. Um and so i went back into the classroom and i currently teach Middle school reading and writing eighth grade specifically and i also Do adjuncts teaching as well. So i teach teachers in that sense to so it's been a really important powerful. Move for me when i left the classroom versus now. You know that things like google classroom and all of that were sort of just taking off and now they're sort of driving everything especially this past year so it's been a really powerful and important betas sort of reconnect with when i believe strongly in when i feel just really kind of called to do. Yeah that's that's pretty awesome. I mean you took a lot of different paths to get to where you are and you know i can tell just by you sharing that all of your experiences helped you to be the teacher that she educator that you are today in this at this time so i. I am grateful that you were able to experience the training teachers college while like you know i think of my first year teaching. Oh my goodness you know my friends. We all know an apology. Every letter apologies in that first group wherever they are in and i mean just coming straight out of college nine had a we went into a school and we were We had adopted a scripted program. So the way. I learned how to teach reading and math was through a ski To learn how to use a scripted program. Yup and you. And i both know that that is absolutely not the way students. Anything by going page by page and a premade curriculum. It's interesting. I saw my first two years. Teaching was right as New yorkers will the school sound familiar with right as bloomberg and joel klein. We're rolling out balanced literacy And at my my first full that i taught balanced literacy looked like every teacher got a box of books and we were told to go teach and that was it as we got There was no there was there was no teacher training and there was also no scripted curriculum. So what's interesting is i agree with you. Scripted curriculum. some in themselves certainly are not anything that's going to bring about. How passionate teaching But i but the lack of one if you don't have the right professional development in place as also pretty disastrous again. It was first your teacher with no formal teacher training. And i have a box of books and like i guess we should talk about the characters you know so so it's interesting i you know there's a lot of schools that have shifted to very scripted. Curriculums i think because of so much teacher turnover and such a challenge with so many teachers coming from non educational backgrounds and so the knee-jerk reaction is just to like put a put a book of finder of something in front of them And i it's better than nothing but then right that the next step is teaching teachers how to really teach to their passionate and move beyond baton wave. It was important and transformative there. Yes definitely and it's really one of the things that i always say is a curriculum. I can't connect with your students unless how to connect with students. I and so helping teachers to see the why behind. The resource is extremely important if they want to use a thing a curriculum in their classroom. And it's very important that you make that connection. Yeah.

Elizabeth Warren unveils proposal to tax "ultra-millionaires"
"It's back the idea of a wealth tax from Senator Elizabeth Warren. This is a wealth tax that has been needed for a long time. We need it to produce more revenue to create more opportunity in America. Aside from the debate over what she calls the ultra millionaire tax, but critics call a jealousy tax under this proposal, who gets taxed by how much 1st 50 million is free and clear. Archer 50 million first dollar. You gotta pay two cents and two cents on every dollar after that, until you hit a billion Well, she said. The 1st 50 million is free and clear to clarify. That's not free and clear of regular income taxes. But of the special wealth surtax, Warren says would be levied on 0.5% of the population. She says America's billionaires saw their wealth increase a collective trillion dollars over the last year.

"I want a democratic classroom I want a classroom. That's full of love and incredible amounts of compassion. I wanna classroom full of action which leaves at super noisy. Sometimes you want you know. I wanna classroom where kids get to create things right. So i don't want to have a lot of things that arc. For example we do have some masters and you know those sorts of things available to kids. But there's always the space right where kids get to create thorough math games or our kids get to create their own literacy centers on those sorts of because i think you know having that agency is important also dude. The cognitive work of creation is really important. So but what. I think about like what i would say My classroom is like i. I kind of waited to what i hear other people say i'm just talking to someone the other day about how i don't think i'm a good like observer of myself Other people for that and so one of my favorite memories is i have roundtables in my classroom and we have vases of fresh flowers on each table and i changed now every sunday. When we're in person of course we are not right now and day. Our janitor came in to vacuum tube and she said i just love how you have these beautiful arrangements in your classroom every single week. Every it's just so beautiful. She said it makes me feel like you think that your students are worthy of beauty. Wow was like well. They are right in that that message so that i to. That's the message trying to nab. It's so i think the other thing that stands out my concert is that like is just overrun books. I still bookcases from like everywhere this school at like asking the principal. Hey there's an empty case of the staff development group. Have that ellison bookcase over there can have that it. Teachers don't want their cases anymore. Passed them onto the stands out as just a number of books that we have going on there. This listening listening to both of your the ways that you've described your classroom. Your it makes me think about how we as educators need to really rethink how. We approach the beginning of the school year. How often times. I think of when the school year would start. And you're getting ready for your students to come in you unpack everything. You have already packed in your closet before the summer. And you're literally pulling those things back out in putting them and in some cases putting them in the same order the same way that you had it because it's easier you have the same space. Let me arrange it the same way so often i. I have seen my colleagues dude as well as i've heard teachers talk about. It just took me a couple of days to get it right back the way it was but what you all are saying is no. That is not how that happens if we are creating allowing Creating spaces for our students to have agency and that are spaces are more so decided upon who we teach in that what we teach then that whole bunch of taking it back out. The way it was last year goes out the door. How was it at the beginning of the. How is it at the beginning of the year or Dr parker when you were in the classroom at the beginning of the year. What did that. Kind of. Look like It involved lots of talking to kids right thinking about what. What are they bringing in I think that those. It's always time the best time spent at the beginning is to get to know who's in front of you until humanize yourself in front of them. I try to get them reading..
