Recovering Food Addict Colleen Y. Shares the Ups and Downs of Her Journey

"On the podcast, our guest is a recovered food addict, Colleen Y. Welcome Colleen. Colleen Y. Thank you. It's a pleasure to be here. Susan Branscombe Yeah, it's great. I heard about your story. I've read about your story and I'm looking forward to sharing it with our listeners. We're going to talk about your story and how you found recovery from food addiction. I understand you became abstinent at 55 years old in 2018 when you joined a 12 -step food recovery program. Talk about that and what brought you into recovery. Colleen Y. Yes, it was late getting into. I had never heard of any 12 -step recovery programs. I had never heard about food addiction. I was just a person who thought I had a moral issue that I needed to diet, that I didn't have willpower, that that was the only way that I could overcome the excess weight. I was getting up there. I was 250. I was up to 300 pounds when I finally went into the rooms. So up until that point, I just thought that I just had no willpower. But it got to the point where all I could do was think about the food. I could not function unless I was thinking about food. So that's what brought me into the rooms. Talk about you got into recovery when you realized that you needed help in this way. And then you relapsed after two months. What happened there? Well, actually, it was after five years. I was in the program for five years. So for the first two years following the program, I was good. I followed it. I lost weight. I was working the steps in the program. But then I thought I didn't need it anymore, that I knew what I was doing and slowly started deviating from the program to the point where I left it and just started doing diets again and the weight started creeping back on. But I was still not eating the sugar flower wheat. So that's what I considered as still being abstinent. But the weight came on. I was still eating high fat. And then finally, after five years, I just couldn't white knuckle the diets anymore. And I relapsed. And in that two months that I relapsed, I gained over 25 pounds and really came to believe that I had a serious problem with food addiction. I just could not function at all over that two months. And I just did not want to live anymore. I just did not want to wake up in the morning. It was a brutal experience for two months. For critical level food addicts, some of us can get suicidal, where we just can't see a way out and that we're always going to suffer from this and food controls our lives. Yeah, I prayed every night that I wouldn't wake up in the morning. And that was the thing. And then I'd be so devastated that I had another day in this disease and that somehow I had to function. So talk about this history then. You got into recovery, five years, doing well, lost weight. Then you relapsed. Tell me about the weight that went off and came back on. You said you gained 25 pounds. You got up to 300, but were you close to maintenance weight during that five years? I had never been a normal weight my entire life, never. So I got close. I had lost, by this point I started at 300, so I was probably down to 170, which was just absolutely new territory for me. Then I gained some weight back, but then I knew I could not get abstinent on my own. It didn't matter what I did, I could not keep it. So I tried to go to Renasant and Renasant was running an outpatient program and I signed up for that. And then just before they were going to run it, they contacted me and said that they weren't prepared to run it anymore. And I was devastated. I ended up getting in touch with Dr. Vera Tarmon, who is a director at Renasant, and she told me about, in fact, was going to run their intensive for their students. And Esther usually does it in Iceland, but this time she was actually doing it in Ontario where I'm from. So it's like three hours away from me, I had this opportunity. So I jumped at it and I went and did that intensive where Esther Helga had Amanda from Shift come in and run the intensive. And it was mind -altering. It changed everything about the way that I looked at food addiction, totally, totally opened my eyes.

With me today is Caleb Franzen, who's the founder of Cubic Analytics. Caleb, it's great to have you back on. Tony, good to see you, man. I think the last time we were here was back in April, I want to say. So six, seven months ago is a good recurring basis to get back together and talk markets, man. Yeah, absolutely, man. And you provide some valuable insights in your newsletter as well as on Twitter or X, as Elon would call it now. So I've been following you and appreciate your insights. So I wanted to get you on here to go a bit deeper and talk about what's the outlook for Bitcoin in the short term as well as long -term and some of the top altcoins. What are your thoughts on the recent rally and do you expect Bitcoin to go a bit higher? Things are looking pretty solid. I think at the beginning of the year, I started out a little bit towards the doom and gloom side. But one of the things that I said was regardless of what was going to be happening in the markets this year, I was going to be buying assets. I was going to be buying equities. I was going to be buying Bitcoin. And that's exactly what I've been doing pretty much all year. Back in January, something very important happened, and that was the price of Bitcoin got above the short -term holder realized price, which is basically the short -term cost basis of all Bitcoin that has been transacted within a six -month window. And historically, that's always a bull market signal. If price can get above the short -term holder realized price and stay above that level, good things tend to happen. Every bull market in Bitcoin's history is characterized by that one simple fact. Then a bunch of other bullish signals happened thereafter. And so piece by piece, indicator by indicator, we've been stacking bullish evidence. And now we actually have the fundamentals to really back this up. We have the halving, which is basically 160 days away. We have spot ETFs that are basically, I truly believe plural, are going to be getting approved likely in a blanket approval process. And then if my macro outlook is on track, we're going to have continued disinflation, which is likely going to be bullish for assets across the board. I think it already has been very bullish this year. Look at the stock market, look at Bitcoin, look at Ethereum, so on and so forth. But if that disinflation continues, as I look forward, I've been referring to it as non -recessionary or disinflationary rate cuts beginning in the third quarter of next year. At this point, I'm not willing to entertain rate cuts before then. But my thesis right now is that the Fed will start to do a total of 100 to 250 basis points worth of cuts. If they do that from a pause of 5 .33%, we're really going to have still tight rates, still high real federal funds rate, real interest rates, so on and so forth, but just less restrictive than if they continue to pause. And so I think the Fed is recognizing that. They're not openly admitting it yet, because they're still using their rhetoric and forward guidance as a policy tool. That's one of the big benefits that they have. They can forecast to the market, even if they're kind of fibbing, or they want to maintain maximum flexibility. And so they're giving themselves a long leash with a lot of slack. And so, man, I'm feeling very optimistic about Bitcoin, especially right now. I've recently started buying Bitcoin mining stocks. Once again, I was trading those at the beginning of the year with a lot, a lot of success. And now I'm really kind of viewing this as a six to 12 -month thesis for the miners. So I'm basically going to be DC 'ing into those over the next two months, probably daily. And so I'm feeling very optimistic about things right now. So I'm happy to kind of take that wherever you want, but that's kind of my baseline. Yeah. And great points you brought up and with the macro and the Fed and their narratives and things they're doing. And it seems, to your point, that they are officially paused. Now, there's always the possibility that they could raise, but it seems like they're officially paused. And as you mentioned, with the halving coming up, the Bitcoin spot ETF approvals around the corner, certainly a bullish time. So if you can share the Bitcoin chart and tell us what you're seeing for the short term. Some people are saying, hey, this is a start to the run up to new all -time highs. Some are saying, hey, this is like a 2019 move. A retracement will probably hit a certain Fibonacci level and then roll over. And then the slow steady grind to new all -time highs in 2025. What's your thoughts and thesis around that? So here's Bitcoin. And one of the things that I like to use, I don't rely on the exponential moving average specifically, and I don't look at the simple moving average specifically. So something I'm trying to kind of shine more light on is something that I'm calling the 200 -day moving average cloud. So I'm combining both of them. The EMA is shown in teal, and the SMA is shown in yellow. And we could see very clearly, this has been a strong level of both dynamic support and resistance. In my opinion, so long as we stay above this level, good things happen. We've been able to stay above it now after a brief consolidation below. You can see in several cases here, we actually used it as resistance, flipped it into support, taking off. So this is very optimistic kind of price structure overall. And now we've really kind of cleared through this range as well. This was a level that I was highlighting back in January, actually, when we got above the 200 -day moving average cloud, saying, now we need to focus on the next level of structural resistance. So I was calling for this range even above 25 ,000 going all the way up to 30K back then. And we ticked it a couple of times, and we've sold off since then. So now we're back above it. It's now valid potential support. And so I continue to think so long as we stay above this level, which is basically from 31 ,000 all the way to 32 .8K, we could see price rebound here for sure. But overall, this chart looks fantastic. One of the things that I mentioned earlier was this short -term holder realized price. And so as we look at the dynamics right now with respect to the short -term holder realized price, it also looks very similar to what we're seeing on that 200 -day moving average cloud. We flipped it into resistance. We had the breakout here, support, support, temporary breakdown here. This was a bit of a concern for me. But so long as we're back above it, I think we can be very, very optimistic. And so one of the things that I say about my approach personally is that I always try to stay dynamic and flexible based on the data and the chart in front of me. So if we fall below the short -term holder realized price, you're going to see me on podcasts. You're going to see me on Twitter sounding a little bit more defensive, not necessarily bearish, but willing to be patient and willing to kind of consider downside scenarios. If we stay above this level, I'm going to be coming on these shows saying, we're going higher, we're going higher, we're going higher. This is bullish price structure because it is. So that thesis might be wrong. Things can change. Markets are dynamic. We don't know what the future holds. So it's really important to kind of have, first of all, levels of invalidation and places that we can kind of stay dynamic based on data, based on indicators and based on statistics. And so as I look at this right now, I also want to highlight one other fact, which is that this short -term holder realized price, look at the slope of it. So in terms of the rate of change, that red level is grinding higher and higher. That is generally emblematic of a bull market because it indicates that short -term holders increasing are their cost basis over the past six months. And that's what you want to see in a bull market is people continuing to bid, continuing to bid, price grind higher, people keep bidding, and that short -term holder realized price steadily moves higher. If we look at something like the long -term holder realized price, we see almost the exact same dynamic taking place. It's much flatter. But if we really kind of zoom in on this level, and let's actually even go a little bit closer, we can see now that this is really starting to tick higher basically since August and September, right? So as this long -term holder realized price also starts to grind higher, again, this is very bullish for the long term. The last chart that I'll share with Bitcoin is I mentioned this 200 -day moving average cloud, but the one for me that's the most important is this 200 -week moving average cloud. So basically the exact same indicator, and we're solidly above that. Once again, I outlined this as a price target in January 25 ,000 and said, if we can get above there, it'll be very bullish. Sure enough, we broke above and we flipped it into support now several times. We've been writing this 200 -week moving average cloud as almost perfect support. We haven't closed below it all the way since March of this year before the banking crisis, right? So the fact that this is still working as dynamic support and it also has a positive slash rising slope is very strong for Bitcoin. And if Bitcoin is strong, as we all know, that creates a massive ripple effect throughout the entire kind of crypto ecosystem where good things can happen at the very least. I'll just leave it at that. And so I think whether or not you're someone who leans towards being a Bitcoin maximalist, whether you're a short -term trader, whether you're solely focused on investing in altcoins, you have to be watching these Bitcoin charts. And at the very least, they're all showing us bullish dynamics right now. So as far as I'm concerned, this looks fantastic. So do you see the move upwards similar to 2016 or a 2019 to 2020 type scenario? I know it's hard to predict that because like you said, the market's dynamic and we have to wait as the data comes in. But what does your gut tell you? Because as we discussed, we have these narratives, these strong narratives like the Bitcoin halving and as well as the Bitcoin bodies, which could send the price a little parabolic, maybe not to new all -time highs in the immediate, but in the short term, a strong move up. This cycle, in my opinion, is very different than prior cycles. I still expect to see the halving have a very similar effect. Everyone who I talk to, even people who are in the crypto ecosystem, a lot of people are dismissing the impact of the halving. And someone asked me recently like, based your on thesis with the halving, with these non -recessionary rate cuts, with the spot ETF approvals, doesn't everybody know all of this? Isn't this already priced in? And I was saying, I don't think it is because everyone is talking about, oh, the halving isn't going to have as much of an impact as it had in the past, if any impact at all. People are debating if the halving is even a useful indicator for price or a catalyst for price. Everyone knows about the spot ETFs, but a lot of people aren't really sure. I saw someone recently talking about, hey, Canada has had a spot ETF for over a year. How come that hasn't created? So even still, there's all this concern about whether or not the spot ETFs are going to have a catalyst for moving higher. And I don't really think too many people are talking about non -recessionary rate cuts in the third quarter of next year. So in my opinion, not much of this is really priced in yet. And I think one of the big kind of takeaways, so let me just tie this back into your question, which is what kind of cycle does this mimic or mirror? If I would pick any of them, I would say 2019, just because the risk of a recession is still there. So if we think back to 2019, we bottomed in December of 2018, and we started to move higher from there. And then COVID happened. We have some exogenous recession, which brought price down significantly. We fell from over 10 ,000 back down to 3 ,500. We could still have one of those scenarios. So I don't want people watching this to just hear me come on here and just sound like it's up only from here. We still have to consider downside scenarios. And so I would say maybe 2019 is most similar. But in the event that we can avoid that recession, get those disinflationary rate cuts, and then we have the halving catalyst plus spot ETFs coming online, I think one of the big takeaways that I had from that whole coin telegraph debacle was that we had a $5 ,000 candle in 15 minutes on unverified news. And so the thing I've been encouraging people to think about and ask this question is how does price react to an SEC press release, if not a press conference, about spot ETF blanket approvals? How does the market react to, in a sustained manner, to verified news about this getting approved? How does the market react to BlackRock really coming on TV every week, every month, pounding the table on Bitcoin, advertising, calling up wealth management shops, the whole nine yards? I mean, I used to work in wealth management. We used to get hounded all the time by these ETF companies and their sales reps to talk about their products. They wanted to take you out for lunch, this, that, and the other. So what does that look like with BlackRock, with Valkyrie, with ARK, with Wisdom Tree, with all of these companies coming out promoting their spot Bitcoin ETFs? And so if we had like, let me tie this back now because I'm going on my soapbox tangent because I get so excited. If we had a $5 ,000 candle in 15 minutes, genuinely ask yourself, what does that market environment look like when we get a formal announcement, press releases from the SEC, press releases from BlackRock and all these ETFs, so on and so forth in a sustained manner? And so I think if and when that does happen, this market environment, or that market environment is going to look completely unlike what we've ever seen in the past. Yeah, it's a good point. I've been also thinking about that. Once that news goes live, what's going to happen, right? It's going to be euphoria, people are going to go a bit nuts, but also in the back of my mind, I'm cautiously optimistic because I see in the macro, look, the stock market doesn't look that strong. It looks a little bearish. In addition, you have these economic factors where debt is at an all time high, not just for the government, but for consumers, credit card, and it seems like something's going to break. I'm not saying I want that to happen. It's just, it feels very 2008 -ish, not with the housing market, but personal consumers and their credit card debt and car loans and so forth. So I'm like, how can these two things be running in parallel? But maybe like you said, it's a completely different time. The Fed and the central banks can print money and artificially inflate certain things where they can inject money behind the scenes. I don't know, but this is where all my thoughts are. And I'm like, hmm, I don't know what's going to happen next. It's tumultuous for sure, right? And I think generally I had a very defensive kind of outlook on what macro was going to be this year. And I think everyone, regardless of what their preconceived notions were going into the beginning of the year, should be pleasantly surprised at the resilient nature of the economy, of the labor market, of the US consumer. You talk about consumer debt, but what most people don't do is divide that consumer debt by personal disposable income. And that level is at historic lows, right? It's certainly creeping up higher, but on a relative basis, relative to income, that debt is very, very manageable, actually. And I saw so many headlines about this a couple of months ago about consumer credit cards crossing $1 trillion in balances. There's still well over $2 .5 trillion in unused credit card amounts. So basically, these consumers have the ability to tap into much, much more credit if they actually wanted to and needed to. And so the fact that we're simply at a trillion in and of itself is not reflective of a negative economic environment from my perspective. And look, I'm someone who used to be a hardcore gold bug. I used to be a massive advocate of Peter Schiff and what he used to talk about. And so I used to be extremely concerned about things like deficits and credit and the Fed's money printing until you realize that it really doesn't create actionable investment advice. And at the end of the day, I think you have to ask yourself and look in the mirror, are we here to be right or are we here to make money? And so if you're a trader, you're certainly looking to be both. If you're going to make money, you almost intrinsically have to be right. But I think if you're going to have your focus be on macro, I see so many people who have really pigeonholed themselves into a corner about being very bearish. And it's that classic phrase about the broken clock can be right twice a day. And eventually, those people will be proven correct. We are certainly going to have a recession. It's just a matter of does that recession happen six months, 12 months, 24 months or 36 months down the line? And if it does happen somehow 36 months down the line, what do asset markets do over the next 36 months? So what, are you going to stay sidelined for the next 36 months because you think a recession is coming? I mean, be my guest. That's not how I'm going to invest and allocate my personal portfolio. So for me, I stopped paying as much attention to that. And I started kind of approaching it from almost like a first principles perspective and kind of diving a little bit deeper into these numbers and starting to realize those talking points are exactly that. They're bearish macro doomer talking points. But again, I don't think that they actually provide actionable sound investment advice, I guess you could say. Yeah. And that's a great point, Caleb, because I look back at 2020 when the economy got shut down, yet markets were pumping. I mean, it's almost surreal, right? When you think about it, stock market was going crazy, Bitcoin and the crypto market was going crazy in a period where there was panic, fear and shutdown, right? So to your point, yes, those things exist, but you can't focus too much on them and there's not usually that many actionable items from them. Sure. And I think the biggest takeaway from this mini conversation that we're having here on macro is it's really important to remember, and I've talked about this in the past, the stock market is not the economy.

Oh no, that was Bryan Adams, but we had a great time. Coming up on this podcast, I'm gonna do an NBA Power Poll at the top because there's no games as I'm taping this on Tuesday. So let's, where are we after two weeks? I tried to fly through this. I limited myself to 22 minutes. I think I went two minutes over, but I flew through it, tried to get off as many comments as I possibly could. And then our old friend Malcolm Gladwell is gonna come on and do some sports hour stuff. There's some things that he's noticed about direction sports are going in that he doesn't like, and we're gonna try to fix it. So that's the podcast, first, our friends from Pearl Jam. Here we go. All right, I'm gonna throw an NBA Power Poll at you. I'm not sure I'm gonna do this every Tuesday, but I definitely wanna do this some Tuesdays. I'm gonna go through all 30 teams as fast as possible. And I'm gonna throw things out that I feel like are important when necessary. Pot shots, important comments, things I've noticed, some fake trades, you've known me for a while. It's gonna be all the typical stuff. Going backwards from 30 to one, I'll give you the groups as we go. The first group is called the Dregs. That's Washington number 30. They are 30th in defense. And the only reason they're 30th in defense is because we only have 30 teams. I actually think there's some way they could have been 36th in defense. They're the only team in the entire league that I do not wanna watch on league pass for any reason at all. They're one and five, 15 .6 point differential against them. Shoot this team into the sun. I cannot believe House thought this team was gonna go over 24 wins. They might not go over 14 wins. They're awful. I never want them on my TV. Next group, probably the lottery. I say probably, but I'm gonna zip through these teams and then go back to somebody. 29 Utah, 28 Portland, 27 Detroit, 26 San Antonio, 25 Charlotte, who is way more fun than I expected they would be to watch, and 24 Chicago. It just feels like the lottery's in the future for all these teams. I wanna talk about San Antonio really quick. Three and four, kind of a sneaky, tough schedule. They played Phoenix twice, the Clippers, Dallas, that goofy Indiana team, Houston, and Toronto. They're minus 8 .6 point differential because they've gotten blown out a couple of times, and they're 29th on defense, which I was surprised by per 100 possessions. The thing that I wanted to point out here, because this one Benyama thing is super important. This is the best teenager that's come into the league, at least since LeBron. We can debate. LeBron, I think in year two, for two months at least, was a teenager when he was putting up 27, seven, and seven. When he started his 27, seven, seven cycle. Wembe might be the best teenager I've ever seen. They're starting Jeremy Sohan at point guard, and Pop's been transparent about this. No, no, we know we're gonna take some lumps. We're trying to figure this out. I went to the game when they played the Clippers, I talked about it in a previous pod, and it was just an absolute debacle, watching poor Sohan try to run the offense, bring the ball up. Now we're seeing teams starting to pressure them because he's not a point guard. He's a small forward. There's crazy stats now. Trey Jones, just by being on this team and not being Jeremy Sohan, is now one of the best advanced metrics point guards of all time. Right now, his per 100 on -off is plus 28 .3 because Sohan is minus 22 .7. That's how disparate the two things are. Which brings me to my point, this is too important. You have the best teenager maybe ever. You have one of the best league pass players already in the entire league in Wimby. I have no idea how long he's gonna stay healthy, knock on wood, hear me knock really loud. I just got my dog going. No, that was me, dumb ass. They need one more point guard. TJ McConnell is on Indiana, and they have Halliburton, who's averaging a 24 -12. He's awesome. They have Nembhard, who's great as a backup. McConnell's like, he's 13 minutes a game. He's clearly a trade piece for them. Just go get him. I'm not saying San Antonio has to make the playoffs, but they need to be entertaining, and Wimby needs to play with point guards. He clearly needs just to play off people, high screens, all that stuff. They need one more point guard. TJ McConnell is my choice. They have all their own firsts. They're not gonna trade those obviously, but they have some goofy picks. They have Charlotte's top 14 protected first. They have a pretty good Chicago first that I wouldn't give up. They have a first swap with Boston. There's ways to do this. I would just put that Charlotte pick next year on the table and just grab them because you guys hit the lottery. Literally, with Wimby -Dyama, literally hit the lottery. You hit the lottery and you hit the lottery. Get to do two point guards. We're not asking for much here. I wanna watch this guy. I wanna enjoy him play basketball. All right, next section is panic time. Number 23, Memphis. They're one and six. They finally got out to Schneider. And number 22, Sacramento, who lost twice to Houston in three days by 18 and 25. No Darren Fox for either game. Panic time in this respect. I know we're six games in the season, seven games in the season, but the West is one of those things where you're gonna look up and the car is left. The car has left the driveway and your family is gone. You're gonna be basically Kevin and home alone if you don't get your shit together. And I don't even wanna be two games under 500 in the West. That's how deep and good the West is. So when you're one and six, like all of a sudden two and 12, two and 13, Sacramento could all of a sudden be three and nine. I would just be nervous constantly. This is not like last year when the Lakers started out two and 10 and ended up making the playoffs. Nobody is doing that this year. The cutoff line is gonna be 46 wins. Memphis looks, they just can't score. And I think it's gonna be really, we talked about this verno last week. It's gonna be really hard for them to crawl back and be at least like 11 and 14, something like that by the time Ja comes back. The Sacramento thing, we predicted this when we did the over -under preview, like the conference is way better and they stayed basically the same. And now Fox is hurt. So it can take Fox going out for 10 games and all of a sudden you're not even in the playing game. I would just be nervous, so it's both of those teams. Again, it's early. Next group, friskier than we hoped. We have number 21, Brooklyn. Ben Simmons averaging almost 11 rebounds and seven assists a game. And yet you can't play him at crunch time, bizarre. Number 20, Orlando. Number 19, Houston. Number 18, Indiana. And number 17, Toronto. Just quickly on Houston, a delightful league pass team. I had no idea. It's like being at a buffet dinner and somebody brings like some, have you ever had a fried oyster? It's like, great, I'll try that. And then it's delicious. They play hard. I like watching them. And I did not expect a Shungun to be a potential all -star, but that's where we are. They're three and three. Again, they beat Sacramento twice, we'll see. But Orlando at number 20. Every time I do this, I'm gonna have a BS all -star of the week. I used to do this when I wrote my column back in the day. I used to call them the Bill Simmons all -stars, just people that I just liked for whatever reason. I love Jalen Suggs. I don't really know fully what he is. He tries harder than everybody on every other team. He really gives a shit. He feels additive in all these different ways. And yet at the same time, he'll absolutely like airball a three in one of the biggest moments of the game. But that guy cares. I watched a game where he got this hustle rebound. Can't remember who they, they lost at the buzzer. Get this hustle rebound and dribble back out and took a three and missed it and put his jersey over his head for like the next minute and a half. I actually think he might've been crying. He was so upset they lost. He is the most competitive random guy in the league. I love Jalen Suggs. Oh, as Saruti said, it's the Laker game. I love Jalen Suggs. I don't know what he is. He might just end up being like a seventh man on a championship team at some point. He's gonna have a moment on a good team. I don't know if Orlando's gonna be the team, but it's gonna happen for that dude. I also really like Anthony Black more than I thought, but we'll see. It's early for this team. Palo hasn't gotten going. Somehow they're four and three. We'll see when the schedule gets harder. Toronto at number 17, just the Lakers miss Schroeder. And I like what Schroeder's doing in Toronto. They're three and four, but they easily could be five and two. I've been watching them because I have their over under, I bet on. And I like where Toronto's at. I think they're better than they were last year. I think they're at least a playing team. Number 18, Indiana though. So their second in offensive rating and 25th in defense. In the 25th, I was actually surprised it wasn't worse. They can't guard anybody. They're shooting 43s a game. Their top six guys are all over 40 % three point shooting. They're kind of like the 80s Nuggets, but with threes. And they just play with a certain pace. And some days it's going to be bad. Like the Celtics put 155 points on them and it probably could have been 160 if they'd made some shots. Hal Burton's special. He's a 24 -12 this year. But the crazy thing about their offense is that Matherin's been terrible. And Matherin was a guy that they were like, this is going to be our guy. He's making a leap. We're going to trade Buddy Heald. We got to give the card keys to Matherin in that spot. And he's been bad. And their offense has still been pretty good. This is a team that anytime you see them, I don't know if you bet basketball, but if they're like plus 11, plus 12, it's like they could beat anybody any night. I'm just telling you. I'm not saying they're going to win a round in the playoffs, but just night to night, that's a team that they could just go 22 for 45 from three, make some shots. And Hal Burton, they actually should be five and two. Hal Burton blew the last possession against Charlotte the other night. But I've enjoyed watching them. I've watched an insane amount of basketball, by the way. All right, next group, the wildcards. I don't have a lot to say about these teams, but we'll go in order. Number 16, New Orleans, just seem jinxed. I'll come back to them in a second. Number 15, Cleveland. I want to see them with Garland and just, I want to watch them for a couple of weeks. I like the Struce edition, but we'll see. The Knicks, they're three and four. Nice win against the Clippers. The Randall thing continues to be nuts. Now he's taking out guys in the other team. Clippers 13, just traded for Harden. We talked about the Knicks and Clippers last week. Look, the Clippers, they played one game and they got killed by the Knicks. They're worse. I told you that last week. Still feel that way. Guess what they can't do now? Any transition stuff. The Knicks, 26 to six in fast break points last night. Rebounding. They got out, rebounded by 17 by the Knicks. Harden just brings so many things that you don't want in a starting five, but then he brings the great passing and the scoring and he can have the ball all the time. They don't need anyone to have the ball all the time because they have all these other guys who need the ball. I just don't like the trade. I continue to not like it and I don't understand it. I actually liked the team they had before they made the trade. So congrats again, Clippers. Number 12, Miami. 28th offensively. Kind of feels worse when you watch them. They haven't had their full team for a couple weeks. I'm not gonna judge them at all until December. I'm not gonna judge Dallas either. Dallas I have at number 11. They're six and one, fourth in offense. They've had a really easy schedule. So that's why, let's see what happens. Their one loss is to Denver. Let's see what happens when they play some tough teams all in a row and have one of those four games in six nights or three on the road. One of those situations. But they are in better shape than they were last year. And you look at the Grant Williams piece, which I'm not spiteful when I watch my old players. I'm rooting for Grant Williams. It's like seeing somebody you dated that you still have a good relationship with. It was nice to see him do well for them. Derek Lively seems like they have something. We talked about him last week, but he's at least like a rim runner in that kind of Nick Claxton world, but maybe a little more violent alley -oop or a little young Clint Cappelli. The Kyrie thing is the piece that I'm really interested in this. He finally had a good game last night, but for this season, 24 % shooting, 3 .8 free throws a game, which are always the two numbers to look at with Kyrie. What's he shooting threes? Is he getting in the line? And so far it's been neither, but he seems happy. When you watch them, they've been a surprisingly pleasant watch, and he seems like in a good spot. So I don't want to jinx it because as annoying as he's been over the years, and you know my stance on Kyrie, I just don't trust him. And I just feel like a seven -year track record of imploding kind of has to start to mean something after a while, but it is fun to watch him play basketball. And it does feel like he's got a specific spot on this team. They don't have to rely on him too much. It's very similar to where he was in 15 and 16 and 17 with the Cavs where he could kind of float in and out like a cat with LeBron. It's like, I'm feeling it. Oh, all right, let's give Kyrie the ball. The shooting going down though, it's a small sample size, but they also haven't been playing tough teams yet. And I'm just monitoring that because with guards, it can kind of sometimes go sideways pretty fast, and you don't realize it happened until after it happened. Just quickly going backwards to number 16, New Orleans, because they lost Ingram, they lost McCollum already. And they have this Hawkins who they drafted that everybody liked coming out of the draft, but the fact that he can play right away has actually kind of saved them a little bit. I just, I still feel like we need to do some sort of ceremony or something with them. Like we need the people from the Conjuring to just do something with New Orleans basketball. It just shouldn't be this bad every year. Your team shouldn't have two, three major injuries every year. You should have good luck at some point. And this goes back to the seventies. Remember, when they moved, when they became the New Orleans Jazz, their first major, major giant trade was for Gail Goodrich with the Lakers. They had to give up two first rounders, and he immediately blew out his Achilles. He played, I'm gonna say, less than a season. And one of the picks turned out to be Magic Johnson. So that's where we started with New Orleans, and it's been awful ever since. Nothing good has happened in this team other than they've won a couple of lotteries, but even the lotteries they won, the Davis, Anthony when they were in Charlotte before they got to New Orleans, they bring him to New Orleans and he wants to leave. And then they win the Zion thing, which seemed like the luckiest thing that ever happened to them. And meanwhile, we're still waiting for him to play two straight months. So Conjuring people, something. We need something to happen with that team. All right, the top 10. We're at a good pace right now. Where are we at? Yeah, feeling good. This is working. Young and hungry is the next thing. We got Oklahoma City at number 10 and Atlanta at number nine. If you remember, Atlanta was one of the, these are the two teams I was going nuts for before the season for their over -unders. I love the Atlanta over -under. I love the New Orleans over. And I like what I've seen from both. OK sees four and three, Atlanta's four and three. Atlanta's sixth in offense. And that's notable because Trae Young has sucked again shooting west. He's 28 % from three. Last year's 33 % from three. This might not be happening the next Steph Curry thing. Like what age does he have to hit where we have to go? All right, he's not the next Steph Curry. Because I think I hit that age last year at age, when I was age 53. I think I hit that for Trae. They killed Minnesota, which is notable. We'll talk about Minnesota in a second. But they really, I watched that game and they really, really, really handled them. I like this Atlanta team. And I think there's a path for them to be a three or a four seed if Trae can get going. And then OKC, trade for a big already. You're a guy short, like stop. You guys have a chance to be like a 50 win team. What are you doing? I want to see what's going on with Josh Getty in about two weeks. Whether it looks different than it has for the first couple of weeks here. I don't like, he's not going in the free throw line at all. 1 .3 a game. 26 % three point shooting, which we knew. He can't shoot threes. But there's also like the Chet piece of it. Seems like it's throwing them off. And I've watched games where they've taken them out at crunch time.

A highlight from MASSIVE XRP PUMP! (Ethereum Not Done Yet!)

"Today is a great day to have a new set in crypto. How are we all doing today? It's 11 -6. It's November 6th. It's 11 -32. Sorry. It's 10 -33am. How are we all doing today? We got a new set. We got some new people. This is going to be phenomenal. Look at that lighting down below, folks. It's lovely. I'm loving it. Hey, chat, let us know what you think about it. But guys, we're going to be talking about XRP. Why is XRP pumping? What is going on with Ethereum? Is there more activity? XRP is the crypto market's back is all -coin season starting. Also some huge Bitcoin ETF news as well and Grok AI, the AI that most resembles a caveman's name. But yeah, we got Drew and Kelly. I don't know which way to look. Do I look at the camera? Do I look at chat? Do I look at these two lovely gentlemen? Look me in my eyes. All right. Let's maintain eye contact for the entire show. Love the new set. It looks amazing. Nice. Nice. Okay. A little bit of an echo. Special shout out to our entire team here at Hit Network, BJ, Aaron, and Joel, and Bobby, and Owen. There's so many people who just work tirelessly. If I forgot anybody's name, a lot of you. Love you all. We appreciate how much hard work you do. Really special shout out there. Drew, any message on the beginning of the set? How do you feel about it? Man, it's just - You helped carry some things. Yeah, no, it's nice to have a fresh start. And I mean, this is just, it feels as professional as we act every day. Oh, that's not at all. I mean, I don't know. We bring the heat. So we have a new set up here. It's nice to be able to conversate back and forth with you guys, bounce ideas by each other a little bit more organically as we go through the news. So - Legit, because he DZ being a future Jimmy Kimmel. No, I will never be the CIA's puppet master. Okay. I will never be their puppet. All right. Let's get right into the show here, folks. Guys, let's see if I can share your screen. Make sure you're following us on Discover Crypto. We just put out two phenomenal videos over the weekend. In this Cardano video, I also added it to my pin tweet here, if you want to see it. But I highly recommend you go check it out on YouTube. Get in there, get in the chat, leave a couple of questions, we'll start replying to the videos. I don't know how I'll do it with the next video, working on some top three tips to master the bull run for the first hour that the video's out, we'll go ahead and maybe we'll engage with you. So if you've got any questions, I'll jump in there. Also, we did another video on Jimmy Bitcoin. The heist Bitcoin is stronger than any Bitcoin heist in history, billions of dollars. So it's a really, really good video. I recommend it. He's like the Bitcoin heist meister. He's the heist meister. Yeah, yeah. He's not Heisman, but he's the heist man. All right, folks, make sure you go to hit merch as well. And I think it's time for us to just get right into this Ripple story, folks. Ripple gaining momentum, $850 million, and whale buys push price above 75 cents here. You see it broke out above a critical 65 cents resistance, and now it looks like it's off to the races. So over the last two weeks, crypto whales have been spotted buying XRP aggressively. Not only are the whales buying, they're buying aggressively, folks. As of 2023, the event edges is now the best time to get crypto. You know what? I can see why Bobby's wanting me to move left. I tend to lean to my right. All right, between October 24th and November 6th, the whales, how much XRP did they acquire? 1 billion .26 XRP, folks. And if XRP does say go to $2, $2 .50, even $4, talking about billions of dollars here. So they're bringing their new balances to a new 2023 peak. So we're at a new peak for XRP balances on the whale wallets here. Now there is a big event coming. It's the 2023 edition of Swell Digital Asset Conference in Dubai later this week. It's an invite -only event. So we'll feature keynote speeches and dialogue with some leaders, regulators, and innovators. Now Drew, you're kind of Mr. XRP here. I think you're probably the biggest fan of XRP. The whales are buying. Now are they going to start dumping? No, I mean, we'll always see a little bit of sell pressure, but I think that banks being even just slightly willing to test out XRP and its remittance payment systems and these continuing patterns growth that I see for Ripple in general, I think that things across the world are seeing this. The US still has the gray area, but the rest of the world is feeling ready for it. So I don't think that that'll be on us anytime soon, a big dump. All right. All right. More conspiracy talk. You guys are always on point. No, no, no. We got to get off the rails here. Poor Jimmy. You know what? Poor Jimmy Zong. That's the only Jimmy I like talking about. All right. Here we have the social dominance chart. So this blue line is where people mentioned XRP. So when you see a little bit of spike in social media chatter, oftentimes you're going to see a little bit of a price increase as well. But sometimes social media chatter precludes the pump. Sometimes it's after the pump. They're just, it depends because as a coin doubles in price over a month, people will just start talking about it naturally, even if nothing else is going on. But so here's the social dominance metric is showing the percentage share of a cryptocurrency in comparison to the 50 most talked about projects in the crypto media channels. So they'll just look at keywords, how many TikToks are being made and compare it to the other 49 coins there. But having cleared the resistance at $0 .65, XRP price now faces minimal resistance on the road to $0 .70 as well. So not only that, though, we also have Deaton coming out. He was coming out in favor. So there's a little bit of a settlement with the SEC versus XRP months ago where, hey, programmatic sales, hey, that seems fine. But when you're selling to a hedge fund, that seems bad. So we had one win, we had one loss, and we're saying, so this is like a 50 -50, right? This is like a 50 -50 win -lose. So Deaton's coming out saying it is not 50 -50, it is 90 % win, 10 % loss. So we're looking at more of a 90 -10 ratio here. So here, let's just get his quote out here. In a recent post, he strongly refuted the idea that the result was close to a 50 -50 outcome here. The people who argued that the SEC got a 50 -50 victory in the ripple crates are 100 % right wrong here. I'm still messing around with it. It was more like a 90 -10 in Ripple's favor. If Ripple ends up paying $20 million or less, it's a 99 .9 % legal victory. Did it feel like a 99 .9 % legal victory, Drew? Yeah, I mean, absolutely. A lot of the talk from famously like Pomp when we first got the Ripple case laid out, he's like, oh, you're holding securities, but kind of dancing on the graves of people that held XRP, even in the retail, which I think was just an absolute spit on the face disservice and a to our freedom to transact and to have new systems come about to do those transactions. So seeing even these chunks of wins from XRP and Ripple are massive, massive gains in confidence for people across the world. Now they're looking at this thing and many people are calling it the most regulated crypto on earth just from these recent wins. You brought up gains of confidence. You think I care about the gains of confidence? I don't care about the gains of confidence. I only care about the gains in price. And that's where we're going to go to Kelly here. Kelly, we have some charts here. I don't know if you're looking at XRP, but yeah, 65 cents, 70 cents. Is that all just a facade or is there a real support and resistance happening here? Well, it's throwing it here to the chart. We can see that this is essentially a chart I've been looking at for some time. And interestingly, we have this sort of uptrend parallel channel that on this break to the upside, which is when we have that initial news breaking of the sec the court case stuff that we got this massive pump and essentially rejected right here at a known level that goes all the way back. I mean, this goes all the way back to this base point here, December, 2020. So this is a pretty interesting when the price was going, I was looking at this suggesting, and this is going to be likely turnaround point. We got a stiff rejection off that until we broke down and tested the lower bound here. Got a deviation below. Now why will we have a deviation below is because these smart money people out there, these the people that really understand how to move the markets, they try to do everything they can to trigger those of you and those of me and drew DZ. Everybody that's in this market is subject to emotions. And those that are in control of their emotions and have a sound strategy and risk management doesn't get triggered by this consistently. But those, somebody sold down here cause they thought it was going lower. Oh man. It gave that opportunity for a lower entry for a long, okay. Now we're seeing here, especially where we're at in relationship to the having coming up and we have all this stuff on the horizon about the the IPO for ripple. And we have all these court cases winning into to your point earlier. I don't think they're going to win a hundred percent, but I think that's baked in. I think in the sense that at 99 .8 % or whatever, they're going to have to have some concession not to make Gary Gensler feel like he completely has, you know, a full face of egg on it. So there's going to be some sort of small fine paid or some concession that they have to make, but it's literally just going to be the fee of doing business. We see this also, it's not, it's not the end of the world. We look at you know, traditional banking, they've had $40 billion in fines since 2000 traditional banking. And yet there's, you know, they're able to continue doing business because it's the price of doing business. Now, are these levels that you're talking about? You said 65 cents. Yeah. 65 cents. And then a lot of resistance at 70 cents as well. 65 cents is right here. This previous range high that we broke through. I do think if we come back down, this is a great area. If we're very bullish, this is a great area for price to bounce on. It doesn't mean if we lose this, it's not bullish anymore. In fact, we can come all the way back down here to this horizontal line. That's in perfectly a basically cross section right here to that 60 cents level. This would be a great opportunity for another, you know, still bullish pullback if we come back to this level. Now, if it does continue to run, where is it going to go? Are you going to buy DZ? Are you going to buy on the way up if we get two candles in a row that are still bullish and we break 85 cents, is that a signal for you to buy and prices just running higher? You know, as much as I like candles, I don't like buying wicks. And so just I even when it hurts me, I just I'm averse against buying wicks. Yeah, no, I hear that. And so the point here is if things are running, that's a signal that there's a lot of stuff going on. Let the pullback let the chart come to you in your strategy so you can so you can make a smart buy. Now, let's go ahead, look at Bitcoin, Bitcoin and an interesting sort of channel that it's it's trading here. A lot of people are speculating. Is this going to be a setup for a sort of kind of flopsided bar pattern where the price action actually continues chopping in here only to break down and, you know, to this level? But why is that level important to previous high level that thirty two thousand dollars? Now, whether we continue higher or pullback down there now, at some point, I do think we're going to test below this range that we're in right now. Things are I mean, we see the momentum here is trending down while the price is still slightly turning higher. So there is some signs that we may be having some issue here coming up fairly shortly. I think C90 says the best. We're too far away from the having to not have at least one pullback. I don't know if it's going to start tomorrow. I don't know if it's going to start two months from now, but we're looking at an April twenty twenty four halving date. There's I'm assuming it's going to be much more likely than not in those six, five, six months. We'll experience a pullback now. Everybody want and I just did a video on this on the bit lab morning stream talking about the pump season. It's holidays. Everybody not only has a bias that they wanted to go up because you want to feel happy during the holidays, but there is data out there. There's data out there that shows that on average, November has a thirty seven percent pump to the upside. But that doesn't that doesn't mean every November is a thirty seven percent pump. There are some November's that have been negative. Basically, you've lost value in November. And we can see on this chart right here, this is seasonality. This is Q4. These these yellow bars, horizontal bars. This is Q4. And yes, we had a pump here. But look, we had a dump here, consolidation here, pump here, break down here. So you have to you have to take it into the context of where you're at in the market cycle compared to the halving. So as it stands right now, I do think we very well could get a pump. But look how far we still are from having to me if we do get that pump, I'm going to be looking for an opportunity coming into the halving for still some lower prices to whatever level we pump from pump two. So I would just urge caution. The higher we go, start looking for opportunities for prices on a pullback. All right. Let's say what is the coin you want to get more of during a pullback? I'm just going to say boring Bitcoin. I feel like I don't have enough Bitcoin. So if there is a pullback, I think I'm a scoop up some more bitty. What about you two? I'm going to be going after Cardano next. That's the next big bag. I have too much of it. What about you, Kelly? Well, I'm torn because I mean, look at pull up this chart real quick, because we see dominance is coming into a known zone. Not a carry off. Do you like Natalie and Bruglia? I'm told that's how I was trying to think of the song is that I'm still coming into this zone. Dominance is pulling back. We're seeing a little bit of capital rotate out of Bitcoin. And we also see the Ethereum dominance broke. Everybody wants to see this breaking, thinking every alts are just going to moon. But we still could very well have those alts pull back. So it's still a little bit. Everybody wants this to be an alt season because we're seeing some pretty big gains, you know, also because we're all overexposed in alts. That's why. Yeah. You know, one of those ones, everybody was kind of taking a little doodoo biscuits on was right here. Albert Rand. Everybody was saying they thought it was dead because they're also doing that rebrand. But look at this 45 percent pump. But it's pushing higher. But don't get lost in the bias just because you're feeling good in a green candle. Look for those pullbacks. If I had to pick one, it would be Bitcoin.

"I'm going to read one of your quotes, which is really, really powerful, that talks about the hopelessness and desperation and powerlessness, I would say. So I'll read this and let you talk about it. It was a journal entry. It said, quote, I was recently reading through my past journals and I want to read from my journal, January 1, 2021, the day before my consultation with Shift. I can barely look at myself in the mirror. It disgusts me. I see myself as fat and ugly. Food has become everything to me. I binge six plus times a day on fast food, chocolate, pasta, cheese, sauces. I eat food off of other people's plates out of the trash. I see many negative consequences of my eating habits, mainly gaining weight, disgust at myself, difficulty with sex, looking and feeling like a pig at a buffet, numerous body pains, breathing difficulties. I can't walk more than a few feet and I need to take several breaks walking up one flight of stairs in the house. I can't put on my own shoes and my clothes don't fit. Food makes me loathe myself. Food is killing me. My body and soul are both dying very quickly. Not even my program is working. So is there any hope at all? I don't think so. I'm just going to die. That's what my new year will be, my death. That was the day before you consulted with the Shift folks, recovery. We'll talk about that. But talk about where you were January 1, 2021 and what was going on. Yeah, I had tried everything up until that point to lose weight. That was my goal. I just want to various pay -and -weigh programs. I tried various diets that were out there, bizarre things. There was one, eat right for your type, where you did your blood type and you figured out what foods you could eat or not eat. That was a disaster. I think I gained 20 pounds in a month on that one. But it was horrible and life was horrible. I was miserable, absolutely miserable. And I'm not really wanting to live anymore. I'm really feeling like there's nothing I could do here that's going to make a difference. Nothing's going to help me. I tried. I went to a food treatment program a couple years earlier, about three years earlier. I did great there for the week and for a few months afterwards. But there was no aftercare. I would just go out to a 12 -step group and I did that. I was in 12 steps. I gained weight about 100 pounds being in a 12 -step program. I knew I needed something more, but didn't know what that could possibly be. Yeah. You got the click, I would call it, when you talked to shift and you heard what might be possible. It sounds like that was your bottom, if I could make that leap, that that was a bottom where you thought you're going to die from this because you have no real solution on how to get out of it. And that's where I got. I got to the point where I don't want to live like this. I'm going to die. I'm slowly killing myself because of the 70 pounds, the high blood pressure, the diabetes, couldn't walk without getting out of breath. And so that was a bottom for me. So this you're killing yourself with food. And I was just like, yeah, whatever. Okay, sure. I can't stop, so too bad. It wasn't until I had a doctor who told me I was committing suicide and the suicide war just really hit me. And that was two months before that January 1st day. And I got so angry, I stormed out of the guy's office because I was not committing suicide. And then that morning, I sat there thinking, you know, I'm not going to kill myself. I'm not going to commit suicide, but if God took me tonight, that would be just fine with me. That scared me. And so then the next morning, I was on Facebook looking at family pictures from Christmas. And up pops the shift recovery by acorn advertisement on my feed, which again, I'm barely on Facebook, and I don't search for food addiction treatment. And I don't search for weight loss programs or anything else on Facebook. And here it pops up. And I'm like, huh. So I talked to my husband, and I asked him if he'd be with me. And we did a consult with shift and the next day. And I really thought for me, that was intervention by God. I could not have found shift if I wanted to try to find them. God just put it in my place. And I don't even think I was in the space to look for a food addiction treatment program at that point. Like I just was totally discouraged and in despair

A highlight from Dennis & Julie: Humility and Rationality

"Hello there all, all as I should say having been in Mississippi last week. Y 'all, y 'all, I love y 'all by the way. It works better than you. Hi, Dennis Prager and Julie Hartman. Shalom. And after spending great amounts of money on research, they came up with the name Dennis and Julie. Yes. It was well worth all the money spent. Well, you know what, better simple than bad. Better simple than something stupid. Well, you know, Einstein had a great line about that. I'm curious if you know this. Things should be as simple as pop made as simple as possible, but not simpler. That is a good line. So why did I share it with you? You know, there are a few things like... Isn't it amazing, she's actually starting in on that line. I was sure that that would basically die and we'd move on. Nothing dies on Dennis and Julie. It always starts with an anecdote. It is really funny. Like, you know, the sun was shining today and then... Oh, well, let me tell you about the sun. Yes, yes. And then you go, I have a theory on that. And then I'll tell you I have two suns and it'll just go God knows where. All right, go ahead. As a total aside, it's amazing. You're one of two suns. You have two suns. Oh, no, you don't know. Your son has two suns and Sue has two suns. You never heard me tell you this? No, I think you have. Yeah, my father had two suns, I have two suns, my son has two suns and my wife has two suns. That's all I know. I don't know three and I don't know daughters. Okay, go ahead. You're probably lucky. You're probably lucky that you don't know daughters. My dad is listening like he's lucky. No, I'm not complaining. Okay. I was going to say about names, because obviously when I was naming my show Timeless, I didn't want to call it the Julie Hartman show. No offense to people who call it the insert name show. You can do it because you're famous. It makes sense for you to call it the Dennis Prager show. You were right. Or the Ben Shapiro show. Because people will be like, who the hell is Julie Hartman? And I think it's a very kind of everyone does that paradigm. And again, if you're famous, it makes sense. When you're a little plebeian like me, you probably shouldn't do that. But when I was thinking about names, you know me. I get so intense and think it's this name would be the end of the world if it were bad. And then I kind of came up with this, shocker, theory about names, especially names of talk shows. Unless it's really, really, really bad and stupid, I actually don't think it matters that much. Excellent point. I really don't. I'll tell you, the name of a book is incredibly important. And I say it both as the author of titles that were great and titles that weren't great. That means... So that's interesting. What titles do you not think were great? Well, I don't believe it or not, still the best hope. I think the subtitle should have been perhaps the title. Why the World Needs American Values. I agree with that. Because it doesn't tell you anything. If the title doesn't tell you anything, it's not good. I hate to say it, but I agree. It's not a bad title. No, I know. But I agree with you. It hurts me. Well, it's okay. Clearly people have read and were very influenced by the book. You did. That was your book that influenced me the most. That's why you wrote me and then the rest is history. So at the risk of making it about me for just a moment, I think that God does play a role in each of our lives. If you're aware of it, you can sometimes see the hand of God in the way that he leads you. You certainly saw the hand of God the day that you met your wife because you do all these meet and greets and you stay after to talk to every single person who is an attendee and then literally the last person in line was the best woman you could have ever found and married. So the point is, I think, again, if you look around, you'll be able to see God's hand and things. I think God leads and influences me through book choices. I really do. Because your book, you don't understand, when I was in that time in my life, I didn't read books very much. I'm a fiend now with reading books, but back then I didn't so much. It's amazing to me that I discovered You and PragerU and then I decided to order that specific book. And I think that was kind of divine. And then when it showed up, I actually was going to return it. Not because there was something bad, not because I saw it was still the best hope, but I thought that's a bad title, but because I thought, oh, I ordered too many things. I want to save money. I'm going to return this book. I'm probably not going to read it. And then something told me to read it. I'll give you another example. About a year and two months ago, I literally woke up one morning. This was shortly after I graduated from college and in that summer before I started my job. I literally woke up one morning and I thought, I should reread The Scarlet Letter. And why would I have that thought? I hadn't read it since ninth grade. But something, I literally woke up and I said, I need to reread it. I went into my bookshelf. It was there from high school. I reread it. And now it's one of my favorite books, a big part of themes I talk about in my show. And I did a PragerU book club with Michael Knowles on it. I could give more examples. But anyway, it just made me think that that is the book that led me here. That's still the best hope. Well, let me see since you mentioned it, just for those listening or watching. There is a book of three books about America, about the left, and about Islam. And what a time to read this book. And if you want to understand all three, I think it's the best book that does all three in one. Yes. Okay, still the best hope. Thank you for that. But back to the names thing, I actually don't think names of talk shows matter that much. I that suspect you're right because I can't think of anyone that stands out. It's always either I like the individual or you're right. It matters in books and I don't know where else it matters. It's an interesting point. Even, and this is said with so much respect for The Daily Wire, if you look at the name The Daily Wire, it's not a particularly... Sexy name. That's correct. It's kind of just there. But it doesn't matter. But it doesn't matter because it's... It's exactly right. All right, well said. Anything else on your mind? I got a lot on my mind. So I have an interesting thought for you. So it's been a very difficult time because of the monstrosities in Israel. And this is a good example of... When I tell people about Dennis and Julie, who are big fans of mine and my shows and my writings and so on, I say, I promise you that things as open as I am, and I really am on my own show, things are brought out about me in Dennis and Julie that otherwise just don't get mentioned. And it's not because I'm hiding it, but because in dialogue with someone in particular you... So here's a good example of something I didn't mention on the show. I did tangentially, but not the way I'm going to mention it now. So it's been a very intense time since the horrible attacks on Israel, the greatest loss of Jews in a day since the Holocaust. It's really been difficult. And the world changed. Well, I hope it changed, to be honest. We'll see. I don't know how long human memories are, but maybe it did. We'll get to that in a moment. But this is actually just a personal and professional note, not a big macro note, but it is interesting. So I always go over with Alan, my producer, the show, but basically not so much the show because I don't know what I'll talk about until five minutes before. No, that is literally true. Yes, it is literally true. It used to give me a heart attack, but now I know it's just you. There are times I come up with the subject as the theme music comes on. Oh, I am aware. So what we talk about is, I will say, who were any guests today? So he said to me, again five minutes before the show, at the middle hour of the show, I asked Jerry Zucker, David Zucker, and Jim Abrams to come in. The book about their movie Airplane, which happened 43 years ago, has just come out, their memoir of the movie. And I said, wait, Israel has just undergone the most horrible attack in its history, the greatest attack on Jews since the Holocaust, and I'm going to talk about Airplane? And he said, people need a respite. where So here's I say I'm being open to the point that I wasn't even on my own show. I didn't agree with Alan, but I didn't say anything because, A, he's the producer, and unless I'm passionate, I'm not going to override a decision he makes. And he has excellent judgment. And that's the whole point. That's right. You hit it on the nose. And he has excellent judgment. So there are a lot of lessons in this. I think, in retrospect, he was right that we needed a respite. And this was as far afield as you could get. The 43rd anniversary of one of the five most successful comedies ever made into a movie. And with the authors and the three authors and the writers and the all three were also the directors. So a few lessons, because I'm very big, if I can't learn a lesson from something, it's like it didn't happen. So one is, you really do have to know in life whom to trust over your own judgment. If you think you're always right, even about your own life, forget about politics and stuff, you're not going to lead an enriched life. You will make a lot of boo -boos. Oh, this is so important. It's a great subject. Yes, so this is a gift, I admit, I don't even consider it praiseworthy. It's just a gift that I was given to always ask, what can I learn from X and Y and Z? But the reason is so that I could share it with the public. I want to help people lead a better life. That's my corny ambition with my life. So that's a very, very big one. And I have great faith in my judgment. We're not talking to Mr. Silly Putty here. I have strong convictions, but I trust him.

We'll also be talking about breaking news. The Valkyrie CIO expects the spot Bitcoin ETF approval before the end of the month. 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. Today is podcast episode number fourteen hundred and fifty. Can you believe it? I'm your host, JV, and today is November 3rd. Welcome to Moonvember of twenty twenty three. Let's kick off today's show with our market watch as we do each and every day. We got Bitcoin up about a quarter percent, hovering just under thirty five thousand. We have Ether up point three percent trading at eighteen hundred dollars. Cardano, one of the top gainers, up five and a half percent and also XRP barely in the green. And if we are in doubt, they say you need to zoom out. Let's look at the one month. Wow, that's much more sexier, isn't it? Now we have Bitcoin up twenty seven percent for the month. We got ETH up about 10 percent. Solana is up almost 70 percent. Cardano up twenty three percent. XRP up fourteen percent. BNB up seven percent. Personally, I love it when everything in crypto is a winner. It don't get no sexier than that. And look at Chainlink up fifty two percent for the month. Good lord. And check it out. Coin market cap percent in just under one point three trillion with about forty five billion in volume in the past 24 hours. Bitcoin dominance pulled back a little bit, currently at fifty two point seven percent, and the ether dominance in the 16 percentage range for the first time I have ever seen that I could recall. It's currently at sixteen point nine percent as Bitcoin dominance continues to outpace the rest of the market, especially Ethereum. And checking out the top one hundred crypto gainers of the past twenty four hours for chain up fourteen and a half percent trading at three dollars and twenty cent and Oasis Network up twelve percent trading at six point two cents, followed by the trust wallet token up almost twelve percent trading at a dollar twenty three and checking out crypto bubbles so we can see the top gainers for the past week. Massive shout out to Emilio. I appreciate the super chat. Fam, you're way too kind. Much love, much respect. He just said you are amazing. Nah, I think you're amazing. And I appreciate the orange so we can orange pill more mofos and help change the world. Let's freaking go. Much love, fam. But as we can see on the crypto bubbles on your screen, we got a lot of gainers overall. That means the market cap is pumping and a rising tide rises all ships and checking out the crypto greed and fear index. We're currently rated a sixty five in greed. Yesterday was a seventy two last week, a seventy and last month a forty nine, which is neutral. So there you have it, my fam. What's your thoughts on the current Bitcoin price action? Let me know. Are you pumped up for Moomvember? I sure as hell am. Let's dive into our Bitcoin technical analysis for the day. Check out the charts with a Bitcoin price action is likely to go next. Bitcoin broke below thirty five G's baby after the November 2nd Wall Street open, as analysis warned of overheated derivatives. As you know, derivatives are financial tools of financial destruction. Yeah, for real. Now Bitcoin under does the post fed gains. We're currently tinkering just under that thirty five thousand, which is now back at a resistance. The highs had come on the back of the encouraging language from Jay Powell, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, who in a speech suggested the interest rate hikes might soon end. Now, the Fed opted not to change the rates at the latest meeting on the Federal Open Market Committee, which was November 1st quoting their press release. Recent indicators suggest the economic activity expanded at a strong pace. In the third quarter, job gains have moderated since earlier in the year, but remain strong and the unemployment rate has remained low. Inflation remains elevated and accompanying press release stated. They also shared here that the U .S. banking system is sound and resilient. Sure it is. Tighter financial and credit conditions for households and businesses are likely to weigh on economic activity, hiring and inflation. The extent of these effects remain uncertain. The committee remains highly attentive to inflation risk. We all know they're full of ish, right, to say the least. And quoting crypto analyst, Bitcoin breaks out, reaches a new yearly high, which is currently just shy of 36 G's. Now, not a massive breakout, but as long as we say above 34 .8, which we currently are, the next target is 36 .5 to 37 ,000. And the altcoins will follow after, which is typically what seems to go down. Now, down over a thousand from its highs. Bitcoin was worrying some with derivative markets, particularly in the focus, quoting Charles Edwards at Capriole Investments. All Bitcoin derivatives markets are overheated at present. This captures the perps, futures and options. Stay safe out there. And also, we have reacting popular trader school agreed that arguing it was now the spot market to charge of saving the Bitcoin price strength, as he shares here, something to be aware of when sizing up positions currently, when derivatives get hot. This puts increasing focus on spot market to support the current prices and the trend. That's right. In his own analysis, we also had material indicators concluding caution should be applied to the current Bitcoin trading environment, meaning expect more volatility ahead and uploading the snapshot of liquidity on the Bitcoin order book for the largest global exchange, Binance. It warned support levels were apt to disappear quickly. A form of a rug pull. So you have been warned. Newcomer support gaining liquidity at this time lay at both 34 and 33 .5. So there you have it, fam. Again, how many of you are currently bullish on that? King crypto. And with that being shared, now let's discuss our next story of the day. The latest from Michael Saylor. He was recently interviewed on the news and shared some very positive sentiment in the Bitcoin market. Also, he has been a dollar cost averaging and stacking stats. This week, the Bitcoin price came within a hair of thirty six. I think we hit like thirty five nine ninety during our watch party before abruptly reversing and correcting to thirty four to fifty. But after nearly a 30 percent run over the past month, it is natural for the price to cool off as some traders take profit and market participants evaluate whether or not the catalyst for the rally remain valid. Now, despite the intraday price action, which saw almost five percent drawdown, a number of analysts remain bullish on Bitcoin naturally, and some expect another gamma squeeze. If the Bitcoin price manages to push through the thirty six three hundred level, we're only like four hundred dollars off of that right now. Just FYI, permables like MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor appear unbothered by the whipsaw price action. And on November 1st, MicroStrategy announced the October purchase of one hundred and fifty five more Bitcoin for five point three million. As the outlines here in October, MicroStrategy acquired additional one hundred and fifty five BTC for five point three million bucks, now holding one hundred and fifty eight thousand four hundred BTC like, whoa, and what's the most mind boggling? Saylor didn't even get into Bitcoin until twenty twenty. So it goes to show you someone can come here in twenty twenty three and become an even bigger whale than Michael Saylor. In fact, the likes of the Black Rocks of the world put Michael Saylor to shame because we're talking about mega mega mega whales on a massive scale. And when asked about the upcoming Bitcoin having during an interview on Squawk Box, here's what he had to share. Most of the natural sellers of Bitcoin in the market right now are Bitcoin miners and they have to sell to cover their electricity bills and capital costs and retire their debt. That's about a billion dollars per month worth of selling into the market. The protocol forces that to be cut in half as of next April or late April. And he also says, so you're going to see twelve billion bucks of natural selling per year converted to six billion of natural selling a year and at the same time as things like the spot ETFs increase the demand for Bitcoin. So that's why all of us are fairly bullish over the next 12 months. How many of you are bullish? Let me know. Demand is going to increase and supply is going to contract. And this is fairly unprecedented in the history of Wall Street. That's what's up now is a pretty ideal entry point for Bitcoin, according to Saylor. Also, he was recently interviewed and I actually transcribed this video clip when he was speaking on Squawk on the street. And I feel this is very relevant. Here's what Saylor says for the industry to move to the next level. We need to migrate to adult supervision. We're going to need the big banks to become the crypto custodians. We're going to need Wall Street to take a role and we need to rationalize away from the one hundred thousand crypto tokens. You know, the yo yo coins that people are manipulating to Bitcoin. Bitcoin is an asset without an issuer. It is the one universally recognized protocol that is a commodity in the space. And so when banks on Wall Street and responsible custodians are managing Bitcoin and the industry takes its eyes away from all the shiny little tokens that have distracted and demolish shareholder value, I think the industry moves to the next level and we 10x from here. Now, what's another 10x from the current price action we're talking about roughly? What is that? Three hundred and fifty thousand dollars per BTC. Send it and let's frickin go. Also quoting him here, I think the liabilities or the early crypto cowboys, the crypto tokens, which are unregistered securities, the unreliable crypto custodians for the industry to move to the next level. We're going to need to migrate to adult super vision. And I shared with you the rest of that quote. So there you have it. Let me know if you agree or disagree with the one and only giga Chad Michael Saylor. Next story of the day. This is breaking news. SBF has been found guilty in all seven fraudulent charges. Yeah, this is wild. Yeah, here we go. I'm going to read all this to you. Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman Freed was found guilty of all seven charges by a jury in his criminal trial in New York after about four hours of deliberations, meaning it didn't take long. Bankman Freed was found guilty of two counts of wire fraud, two counts of wire fraud conspiracy, one count of securities fraud, one count of commodities fraud conspiracy and one count of money laundering conspiracy. Good Lord. That's a lot of charges and it's just getting started. He'll be back in court in March to continue with some more charges to probably get guilty of. We'll return to the court for sentences by New York District Judge Lewis Kaplan March 28th. So that's the date is right before the having. Government prosecutors will recommend a sentence, but Judge Kaplan will have the final say. Now, Bankman Freed's crimes each carry a maximum sentence of between five and 20 years in prison with the wire fraud, wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy carrying a maximum of 20 years sentence in a press conference outside the court, the New York Southern District U .S. Attorney Damian Williams called Bankman Freed's crimes a multibillion dollar scheme designed to make him the king of crypto, right? The Michael Jordan of crypto, the Warren Buffett of crypto and of one the biggest financial frauds in American history, Bankman Freed's attorney Mark Cohen said in a statement, we respect the jury's decision, but we are very disappointed with the result. Naturally, Mr. Bankman Freed maintains his innocence and will continue to vigorously fight the charges against him. Anyone here in the chat. We have over 200 people in the live. Anyone believe he is innocent? I am just curious if there's any outliers out there. Anyways, other key FTF execs, including former Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison, FTX co -founder Gary Wang and former engineering head Nishad Singh have all pleaded guilty to various charges and work with the government to testify against Bankman Freed in the five week trial. Now, Bankman Freed had pleaded not guilty to all the charges. And during his trial, he took the stand to maintain his innocence against the best wishes of his lawyers who told him to shut the what up, just saying, and marking the FTX November 2022 collapse as a number of big mistakes I made. He denied any wrongdoing in the FTX relationship with Alameda, attempting to distance himself from key decisions, which we all know is not true, according to the testimonies of their execs, Bankman Freed pinned the blame on Gary Wang for creating a function that allowed Alameda to trade funds on FTX that it didn't have and claimed he wasn't entirely sure what happened. Oh, I don't know what happened with Alameda's line of credit, which ballooned to billions in the collapsing crypto market of 2022. In his testimony, he also blamed Caroline Ellison for not focusing on risk management. How are you going to blame your ex? That's just why. Anyways, he didn't believe he defrauded FTX customers by taking over eight billion worth of their funds. Instead, he framed it as Alameda just borrowing from the exchange. Yeah, borrowing from investors without their permission is called stealing. I just wanted to point that one out. Now, Max Kaiser responded to this attorney who spoke out and he said, this is tough talk when it comes to the minor league, the drug Adderall ish coiner like SPF, but where's all the bravado when Jamie, the tapeworm diamond, the best the CEO, JP Morgan Chase, gets caught manipulating markets and defrauding the public again or the next crooked Warren Buffett bailout? You talk a good game, but you're no different than SPF. And I think Max makes some excellent points. The big dogs get away with this all the time, of course, but clearly there's levels to this ish, if you know what I mean. Now, what are your thoughts surrounding this case? How do you think this will likely continue to play out in March as they continue with the court trial facing more charges he's up against? Let me know, fam. I appreciate that. I got some very bullish predictions to share with you. In fact, I'm going to be sharing with you the top five Bitcoin price predictions for twenty, twenty four and beyond. Bitcoin continues to circle its highest levels in 18 months. Again, the annual high for the year is currently almost thirty six thousand dollars, but let's dive right into the predictions. First and foremost, Matrix Port predicts forty five thousand within two months. So two months from November would mean January. I could definitely see Bitcoin hitting forty, fifty thousand easy peasy before the halving. But let me know your thoughts. Now, that prediction came from Matrix Port, the crypto trading firm founded by Jihan Wu, himself a founder, a Bitcoin mining giant Bitmain in a blog post in late October. Matrix Port doubled down on a forty five thousand year end price targets. That's the Christmas target. Let's go, Santa, which is initially revealed in January. It was based on a handful of in -house models with Matrix Port also successfully predicting Bitcoin's October gains. Quitting them here, Bitcoin is breaking above the July thirty one five resistance showing that forty five is achievable by the year's end. And again, I think that's a very doable target. But let me know your thoughts. The next prediction comes from Bitcoin. They say new all time high pre halving. I also agree with that, especially if we get the ETF approval. I would anticipate above and beyond sixty nine thousand before the April twenty twenty four halving, but that's only if you know what I mean. We'll see how this plays out. The halving is a watershed moment. We all know the blocks of subsidies get cut in half for the miners in September. Bitcoin stated Bitcoin would surpass its current sixty nine thousand peak before April of twenty twenty four. Now they shared here, no, Bitcoin is not going to top before the halving. Yes, it's going to reach a new all time high before the halving. No, Bitcoin is not going to one hundred and sixty G's because the magnitude of every pullback is large. This means it'll peak after the halving in twenty twenty four. And yes, the target price is around two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. I love that. That's right in alignment with Max Keiser's short term target of two hundred and twenty thousand. Now, they also shared this chart. Both the all time high and the post halving two hundred and fifty thousand target came courtesy of the Elliott Wave theory charting, which we cover commonly here in the show with Bitcoin mimicking the behavior from the previous cycles. And you can see their estimation of how the Bitcoin price is likely to rise is coming directly from Bitcoin. Now, Bitcoin did, however, make room for a total of four pullbacks. As outlined in this chart, you can see one, two, three, four. Before we hit the peak at five, quoting them here, there will be one pullback before breaking to a new all time high, followed by another pullback at around one hundred and twenty five thousand. Additionally, there will be two more pullbacks after the halving, which are not demonstrated here. Now for the next one, three Bitcoin price models, one hundred and thirty thousand dollar target zone. That's right. Let's freaking go. Quoting CryptoCon here, I'm prepared for the lower prices, but the stars are aligning at one hundred and thirty for the Bitcoin this cycle. And the concept also hinges on the halving events and the next peak should come around four years after the sixty nine thousand dollar move in November of twenty twenty one. We all know everything is cyclical and Bitcoin every four years driven by the halving. Now the one million dollar question. How about a one million dollar Bitcoin price target leads us to Kathy Wood of ARK Invest, the CEO and chief investment officer, has joined former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes in doubling down on her seven figure price prediction when this could happen, understandably up for debate. But changing macroeconomic tides have emboldened what remains a daring Bitcoin price prediction. In October, Hayes maintained that the path to a one million dollar coin was in full effect thanks to the macro reality. Now quoting BlockWorks on the Margin podcast right here, this was shared actually on an interview. If people lose faith in the bond market and this fiat artificial construction we have created over the past 80 to 100 years, this global economy and how it has been structured, if we lose confidence in that, then the amount of money that's going to be looking for an alternative is going to be something that we have never seen before. He shared over in an interview and speaking of Kathy Wood, she was just on Bloomberg and here's what she shared when she was asked, what's a better hedge against inflation? Is it Bitcoin or is it gold? And very boldly she said, Bitcoin hands down, hands down is a hedge against both inflation and deflation. Yes, so is gold, but Bitcoin is digital. And if you look at the incremental demand we are going to see, but gold already has its demand. You know, it happened already, right? Bitcoin is new and institutions are barely involved in the young people would much rather prefer to hold Bitcoin than hold gold preach. So it's interesting that both gold and Bitcoin are hedges against deflation, but Bitcoin has been doing better recently preach and Bitcoin naturally will consider outpacing gold. I think it was Max Kaiser who said for every dollar, the Bitcoin price action increases. I'm sorry for every dollar, the gold price increases expect Bitcoin to go up by over $20 meaning it will continue to outpace gold by a factor of 20. Let me know if you agree or disagree fam. And we spoke about Kathy Wood and her a $1 million price prediction. In fact, she even has a bullish case scenario by the year 2030 of Bitcoin hitting $1 .48 million. Keep that in mind. But now let's discuss Arthur Hayes, the BitMEX founder predicting Bitcoin price to rally 2700 % taken us to $1 million per coin. And then we'll dive into the latest updates with the likelihood of the spot Bitcoin ETF being approved this month in November. According to the major asset manager, here we go. BitMEX co -founder Arthur Hayes is doubling down on a prediction. The Bitcoin is destined to reach the seven figure price. Hayes says that a monetary policy tool known as the yield curve control will act as the catalyst for Bitcoin to reach that 1 million Mark, a gain of around 2 ,700 % from the current level. Send it, let's go. Central banks use the yield curve control to influence the longterm interest rate level by buying longterm bonds as much as possible to prevent the rate from rising above the intended target. And according to Hayes, the entire U S government is enabling a loose monetary policy environment. Even as the fed continues tightening. Now the BitMEX founder first predicted seven figure Bitcoin earlier this year in March in that essay, which I covered here on the show. And at the time, he argued that China's loosening of his monetary policy would trigger Bitcoin to explode to $1 million per coin. Hayes also says the decision by the fed mid this week, uh, pause the rate hike interest rate suggests it's time to pump it up, pump, pump it up. And according to the BitMEX founder, the feds decision would trigger other central banks to also ease their monetary policy. Quoting him here over to you, BTC, let's go. I shall increase the pace of my rotation out of treasury bills and into Bitcoin and ish coins. Now that the fed had paused over two meetings, every other central bank has cover to print expect massive stimulus coming from China, Europe and Japan. So there you have it coming directly from crypto Hayes. Just blaze. Let's get it now for the moment you have all been waiting for. Let's dive into our featured story of the day and discuss a Bitcoin ETF being approved this month in November. And what would that mean for the crypto market? Let's break this baby down. We have Steven McClurg, the chief investment officer at Valkyrie investments has put forth a strong indication that a landmark approval from the U S SCC for a spot Bitcoin ETF can transpire by the month's end. Send it and let's go. The approval of the spot ETF is currently one of the biggest factors influencing the Bitcoin price as well as the entire crypto markets trajectory. You can say that again now alongside the financial giants such as black rock, the world's largest asset manager fidelity, which is about half the size of black rock. We got Vanek, we got Invesco, we got Valkyrie, one of the companies at the forefront of the battle with the SCC over the spot ETF. We also have grayscale. Don't forget the GBTC product. We have the firm managing to Bitcoin related ETFs at the moment. Now Valkyrie Bitcoin and ether strategy ETF and the Valkyrie Bitcoin miners ETF with a combined asset value of 51 .1 million at this time. And they also have active filings for spot Bitcoin ETF. Now McClurg, citing the latest amendments to Valkyrie spot, Bitcoin ETF app anticipates the SCC will issue another series of comments within the next weeks, potentially setting the stage for the approval of the 19 before rule changes by the end of the month. Send it quitting him here before anything else happens, we get a second round of comments and I believe we'll probably get those comments in the next one to three weeks. A late November approval likely means a February launch. So note that if we get the green light in November, it means the Bitcoin ETF would likely launch a few months later in February, which would be right in time again for the Bitcoin having. Now he also shared with ETF .com this interview suggesting a timeline for the SCCs response to these crucial amendments. He also argues the SCC can wait until January to ask the applicants to put the final touches on their S one filings. That's the other alternative scenario. Now Nate Geraci, host of the ETF prime pod explain that Valkyrie CIO suggests SCC can approve the 19 B fours exchange rule changes for the spot Bitcoin ETFs by the end of November and then the S one registration statements early next year. These don't have to be approved at the same time, so keep that in mind. Though they need both for the ETFs to begin trading. Now in recent weeks, the SCC has been actively communicating with ETF apps and disclose that the agency is carefully scrutinizing all spot Bitcoin ETF apps. The focal points of the SCCs inquiry have pertained to the comprehensive explanation of various risk disclosures, methodologies concerning index usage and net asset value computations, environmental risk inclusions, as well as detailed insights into custodial practices. Recent amendments to filings by entities such as BlackRock and VanEck have been augmented to eludicate how initial fun seating could be conducted and also note that BlackRock already began seeding their ETF back in October, which was last month. This is something that Larry Fink their CEO has already disclosed. Now because of that, industry experts remain cautiously optimistic. We have Matt Hogan, the CIO of bitwise asset management, highlighting lingering concerns, quitting him here. Market manipulation is still a potential stumbling block. Custody isn't a wrap, so there is still a lot of work to do, he stated. Now the anticipation isn't purely speculative. The man forecast suggests substantial interest. McClurg envisions about 10 billion bucks flowing into these products within the first one to two months post launch. While bitwise projects 50 billion in inflows within the first five years. I think that's extremely conservative. I could see trillions of inflows within five years, but hey, to each their own. Valkyrie revised its spot Bitcoin ETF filing October 30th a few days ago with an S1 registration statement submitted to the SCC outlining the Valkyrie ETF. The proposed fund shares are intended to be listed under the ticker BRRR on the NASDAQ stock exchange. Valkyrie updated their app and a part of a wider trend as several firms have similarly refiled their spot ETF apps signaling a concerted effort toward regulatory compliance and optimism for approval. Bloomberg ETF analyst, James Saferard identified these amendments as positive signals for progress and possible imminent approvals. Let me know which you think will get the green light first from the SCC. We all know it's imminent. We all know it's going to happen, but when is it going to be November? Is it going to be December? Could it be January? Could it be March? Let me know in the live poll we have on the screen. I have some bonus content to share with you before we dive into the live Q and A. This is from jury and Timur. Why is this so relevant? He is the head of macro at fidelity fidelity being a four and a half trillion dollar asset manager. He's the one who predicted a billion dollar Bitcoin price by the year 2038 and here's something he just recently shared. He shares some incredible threads I want to share with you. Bitcoin is volatile, but it's scarcity and adoption curve create the potential for it to be a high powered hedge against monetary shenanigans. I think of it as exponential gold and in this chart it shows you Bitcoin going past $1 .2 million per coin. That's pretty sexy. Gets me excited as he shares here. One of the attributes of Bitcoin is that it's a network asset and as such it's adoption curve has followed the typical S curve shape. We have seen many of the S curves throughout history and he continues here in the thread. The question, where is Bitcoin's journey along that S curve? A network assets value is driven by its adoption curve, so the slope of that curve matters a lot. Makes a good point. And when I first went down this rabbit hole in late 2020 it's adoption curve, which I defined as the number of non -zero addresses was very steep. It resembled the S curve for mobile phones during the 1980s and the 1990s, which was pretty promising. I'm going to read you a few more now. However, as the real rate narrative changed from dovish in 2020 to hawkish in 2022, the adoption curve flattened and it is now closer to the slope of the internet adoption curve from the two thousands and it has not made much progress since 2021. Now we also had some other threads which are very valuable. I'm just going to read the lead part of it with Bitcoin moving up. Once again, will its adoption curve accelerate as it did a few years ago and how does the macro trend on rates affect it? There's some very insightful data. If you want this, check the show notes below the video in the description. I'll include all of this. And he had one more good thread continuing the discussion from the recent thread on Bitcoin. I highly recommend you check this out because again, this is the head of macro over at Fidelity, one of the world's largest asset managers. So there you have it, my crypto fam and don't forget to check out cryptonewsalerts .net for the full premium experience with video and to participate in our live Q and a, and I look forward to seeing you on tomorrow's episode.

A highlight from MARKETS DAILY: Crypto Update | Bitcoin vs. Ether Investment Theses

"This episode of Markets Daily is sponsored by CME Group and PayPal. It's Friday, November 3rd, 2023, and this is Markets Daily from Coindesk. My name is Noelle Acheson, Coindesk collaborator and author of the Cryptos Macro Now newsletter on Substack. On today's show, we're talking about market reactions to the employment data, gold buying, Bitcoin versus Ether investment theses, and more. Be sure to follow the podcast on your platform of choice and turn on notifications so you don't miss an episode. Just a reminder, Coindesk is a news source and does not provide investment advice. Now, a markets roundup. Crypto markets started off weaker today as traders caught their breath after some wild moves this week. But then the US employment data turned things around and prices started claw back some of the day's losses. According to Coindesk Indices, at 9am Eastern Time this morning, Bitcoin was trading down 2 .6 % over the past 24 hours at $34 ,450. Ether was falling by slightly less, down 2 .1%, trading at $1 ,799. Other corrections earlier today were even steeper. Solana, whose year -to -date up performance I spoke about yesterday, was down over 9%. The Flow Token was down almost 7%. Sui's Synapse and Compound were down 6%. In macro indicators, today was a big day for data releases. One of the most significant metrics in terms of interest rate expectations is the US employment data. A stubbornly strong jobs market has kept consumption high, which makes it harder to bring down inflation. Any signs of weakness in the job market could be taken as a sign that the US interest rate hikes are finally starting to bite. This is what we got today. The three key figures to watch are the increase in non -farm payrolls, the increase in average hourly earnings and the unemployment rate. All three came in softer than expected. The number of net new jobs created in October was expected to be 180 ,000, which was already a big step down from September's initial report of 340 ,000. The increase came in at 150 ,000. It's also worth noting that the net new payrolls for the previous two months was revised down by 100 ,000. The average hourly earnings increase decelerated in October to 0 .2 % month -on -month from 0 .3 % in September. On a year -on -year basis, the increase was 4 .1%, down from September's 4 .3%. And the unemployment rate ticked up to 3 .9%, its highest rate since January of last year. Average forecasts had been for an October unemployment rate of 3 .8%, which would have been flat on September's number. You're probably thinking that the weakness isn't much. Jobs still grew by a hefty amount, and a 10 basis point increase in the unemployment rate is hardly indicative. You'd be right. But the thing about the unemployment rate is that when it starts to turn, it tends to turn fast. Higher unemployment impacts spending, which impacts company revenues and profits, and generally leads to more layoffs and higher unemployment in a very sad spiral. Not surprisingly, markets are liking this, as the softening of the labour market does reinforce the thesis that peak rates are in. It may feel awkward to celebrate more people losing their jobs, but markets have been eagerly waiting for signs of an economic slowdown because of how it could impact the timing of interest rate cuts. While those are still a ways off, if this week's FOMC statement and press conference is anything to go by, the Fed's decision matrix just got a bit easier. The Fed will no doubt be weighing the risks of hiking too much and triggering a deep recession, with the risks of doing nothing for a while to see what happens to the data. Today's release suggests that the latter is more likely. As we head into record, US bond yields are falling fast. The US 10 -year yield is almost at 4 .5%, having touched 5 % just a few days ago. The 2 -year yield is below 4 .9%, the lowest point since early September. In stocks, US markets were cheerful yesterday, with the S &P 500 rallying 2 % its strongest session since April. The NASDAQ and the Dow Jones each rose around 1 .7%. This morning, futures were pointing to a good reception of the employment data I just spoke about. In Europe, the main indices also all rose yesterday for the fourth consecutive session. The FTSE 100 was up 1 .4%, the German DAX was up 1 .5 % and the broader -year stock 600 was up 1 .6%. This morning, stocks were largely flat up until the US employment data, but have been picking up since then. In Asia, Hong Kong's Hang Seng index was up a whopping 2 .5%, while the Shanghai Composite rose 7 .10%. Japan's market was closed today for a holiday. In commodities, oil prices were also lifted by the positive market mood yesterday, with the Brent crude benchmark registering an increase of just over 1%. So far this morning, Brent is up a further 0 .5 % on the day, trading at $88 .33 a barrel. Gold continues to hold relatively steady, trading at $1 ,990 per ounce. Staying with gold for a second, earlier this week, the World Gold Council published its quarterly report, which showed that central bank buying of the metal was up 14 % year -on -year. It seems more central banks are reducing their holdings of US treasuries and increasing holdings of gold. China was by far the largest purchaser, with Poland and then Turkey trailing a distant second and third. Stay with us, after the break we turn to some listener questions.

A highlight from BIG XRP NEWS! DUBAI APPROVES XRP FOR USE! RIPPLE GEORGIA CBDC

"XRP gets approval under the virtual assets regime in Dubai. This is huge news for XRP. Let's break it down. Welcome to the Thinking Crypto Podcast, your home for cryptocurrency news and interviews. If you are new here, hit that subscribe button as well as the thumbs up button and leave a comment below. Well, folks, big news around XRP. Here's what Ripple tweeted out. Today, the Dubai Financial Services Authority, also known as the DFSA, approved XRP under its virtual assets regime, allowing licensed firms in the Dubai International Center to incorporate XRP into their virtual asset services. Folks, we are seeing global adoption of crypto and XRP continues to get adoption as well. And obviously, Ripple had a big win against SEC, showing that XRP intrinsically is not a security. And that is, of course, a huge win for the entire crypto industry. But I've often stated that crypto is not a United States asset class. It's a global asset class. And we are seeing different countries, jurisdictions and regions are embracing XRP, giving licensing and approvals and much more. Very bullish if you are an XRP holder. So here's what the press release had to say regarding this. Since the DFSA opened up external applications, XRP is the first virtual asset to be approved by the regime. XRP joins Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin as assets previously approved under the DFSA's virtual assets regime. XRP now stands to benefit from legal and regulatory clarity in the DFC and will be available for use by institutions located in the DFC to accelerate faster and more efficient global value exchange. Huge news, folks. Huge news. Very, very bullish if you're an XRP holder. And we know Ripple, their on -demand liquidity product is being set up for global adoption. It will use XRP. They're trying to improve cross -border payments. And we know in Dubai, there are many, many migrant workers, people who send money back home and they want to send it service providers and banks in those regions. And it's great to see, you know, XRP adoption. Here's what Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse had to say in the press release. Dubai continues to demonstrate global leadership when it comes to the regulation of virtual assets and nurturing innovation. It's refreshing to see the DFSA encourage the adoption and use of digital assets such as XRP to position Dubai as a leading financial services hub intent on attracting foreign investment and accelerating economic growth. Ripple will continue to double down on its presence in Dubai. And we look forward to continuing to work closely with the regulators to realize crypto's full potential. Folks, Gary Gensler is punching air right now. He's not happy. Dubai's listing of XRP has the potential to unlock new regional payments and other virtual asset use cases on the XRP ledger. As a key builder and user of the XRP ledger, Ripple chose the DFC as the location for its MENA headquarters in 2020 due to Dubai's innovation forward regulations, expansive network and reputation as a leading global financial center. Approximately 20 % of Ripple's customers are based in the MENA region. Huge news folks, very, very bullish if you're an XRP holder. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse also tweeted some thoughts around this. He said Dubai's regulators have consistently demonstrated their pro innovation approach with this announcement as the latest example. Ripple will continue doubling down in regions where there is regulatory clarity for crypto. A key reason we're hosting Ripple Swell in Dubai this year. Now Ripple's chief legal officer Stuart Alderati said the following regarding this news, doing business in the DFC free zone puts you under a regulator, DFSA, that is providing clear guidance and rule books. No wonder entrepreneurs are flocking to Dubai. So clearly there's clarity on other countries and regions and the United States is lagging behind folks. There's also some big news that came out today around Ripple and the XRP ledgers. So the central bank payment news account here tweeted out, Ripple is the official technology partner for the national bank of Georgia's digital gel G E L CBDC pilot. According to a press release issued today in next steps, the national bank and ripple will jointly plan the project execution and gradual rollout plan. So this was a press release on today and we're seeing central banks around the world are minting their CBCs on the XRP ledger. So there's a lot of pilots going on, a lot of testing CBDCs and are coming folks, whether we'd like it or not. And they're being built on different blockchains. So don't get me wrong, right? Their block, their CBDC is going to be launched on Algorand, some on Ethereum and obviously the XRP ledgers. So huge news folks, I am still bullish on XRP, still holding my portfolio. And obviously it's been moving pretty well since the lawsuit wrap up news. I expected to do well in the next bull market to hit new all -time highs. That's not financial advice. That's not guaranteed because I don't have a crystal ball, but based on the facts that we have today, based on the clarity we have in the United States, based on all the adoption that's taking place, like the one mentioned here in Dubai and getting clarity, XRP is primed to hit new all -time highs. And it's still my number one holding. I hold Bitcoin and Ethereum as well and other all coins, but XRP certainly my number one holding, still bullish on it, folks. Now I want to end it here with Jurien Timmer of Fidelity, continuing to share his thoughts on Bitcoin. Today, he shared a new chart titled Bitcoin Drivers, which he sourced data from a variety of folks like Bloomberg, Haver Analytics, and much more. He said, with Bitcoin moving up once again, will its adoption curve accelerate as it did a few years ago? And how does the macro trend on rates affect it? Here's some data to consider. Above, I show a fair value band based on both the slope of the internet adoption curve and the path for real rates. The bottom boundary assumes a TIPS real rate of plus 2 .5 % where we are at currently, and the upper boundary assumes a minus 2 % where we were in 2021. The macro can speed up or slow down the adoption curve, which we have seen played out recently. Assuming for a moment that Bitcoin will mature as an asset class that plays on the same team as gold and silver, how should we think about where it would sit in a 60 -40 portfolio and what would be a reasonable position size? The good news is that its annualized volatility is down from its 2018 peak, weekly returns below, although at 58%, it is still head and shoulders above traditional asset classes. So here in this chart, he's looking at a conservative price point top of $96 ,210 for the 2025 peak. However, if you look at the chart, Bitcoin many times breaks out of the set boundaries and goes beyond that. So I think it's safe to assume based on this chart here, Bitcoin will be over $100 ,000 in the next peak, which is in 2025. And I love data like this and looking at different data points like this, because you want to be educated and understand the market cycles because the liquidity usually flows to Bitcoin, then it flows down to the altcoins. So this is really great data. And we're seeing the bullish momentum building again, and I'm excited folks. And I think Bitcoin could possibly, now it's not guaranteed, hit 50, maybe 48, 50 K in the next two months or so. We'll see. Not guaranteed. It could top out at 40, but we certainly have a lot of narratives like the spot ETF approval, and as well as the Bitcoin halving, which I think has signified the start of the bull markets for the last market cycle. So folks, that's the news. Let me know what you think about this XRP news. Huge in my opinion. Are you bullish on XRP? Leave your thoughts and comments below. Do you think we're going to hit a new all time high in 2025? And thank you for listening. Thank you for watching. Appreciate the support. And I'll talk to you all later.

A highlight from Reunions and Red Flags

"Hello! We are Mutually Codependent, and this is also Mutually Codependent with Adam and Jen. I'm Adam. And I'm Jen. That's Jen. Hi guys. Hello. We're excited to be here, here at our house, in our room, we're excited, just so excited to just be in our room and do whatever the fuck we want, and sometimes record it. So welcome to the show, you should know a little bit by now if this is your first one, sorry. If it's your first one, start at another one. Pick a different intro, and then come back here, go to a normal intro, and then like fast forward one minute, which it was exactly one minute when I said that, I was watching on the screen. So, we have a show for you today, and we're excited to do it for you, that's what I really meant to say, but before we get started, we have to start every show with our strain of the show, and Jen's gonna go over, what are we smoking? This week on Mutually Codependent, we are smoking tropical cookies, a THCA strain, courtesy of Syntex CBD and Texas Canna Health, find it at syntexcbd .net. It is a THCA strain that is sativa dominant, with 20 .6 % THCA, and 0 .28 % Delta 9. It's supposed to help, this strain is supposed to help the user feel creative, focused, and relaxed, which I'm really hoping it does, because that sounds pretty fucking cool. I'm on my way. I Yep. like when you announce the strain of the show, so I have a chance to smoke it. Yeah, that's cool. It's good, the beta -carotylene is the main terpene, but I taste a lot of others too. There's a lot of citrus in it apparently. It is, it's tasty, it's real bright. It's Girl Scout cookies and orange something. Oh, that makes sense. So, yeah, we have more to the show too, we're going to talk about, well, we went to our 20 -year reunion, and it's kind of been a theme we've noticed over the past, I don't know, all the episodes. We keep talking about how we're getting older, or Jen's birthday, we talked, you know, several things. So, we went to our 20 -year... Yeah, the change of perspective, we went to our 20 -year reunion, so if you ever needed to know whether or not you're getting older, that's a really good indication, going to your 20 -year reunion. So we did that, and not only did we do that, we actually helped organize it, which, that's a thing. If you would have told me or Jen when we were in high school that we were going to be the ones responsible, not the only ones, but, you know, we were a big part of it. Part of the planning committee. Yeah, for like, hey, you know what, the 20 -year reunion isn't going to happen without your guys' help. I would have been like, I guess it's not going to happen. But we made a different decision as adults. Yeah, definitely. I would have been like, I would have laughed. I would have just been like, oh, okay. Yeah, because I'm going to come back to Texas, that's probably. And, but, we're both here. And it was kind of like when we were driving back from it, it's basically like one road that goes all the way from our neighborhood that we met in to our neighborhood now. It's literally just Heather Wilde connected the two. It didn't at the time. No, it did not. But now it goes all the way up to Round Rock and that's, you know, where we are. So it was kind of weird like going back to that area and then that was before even talking about people, you know, like we went and saw people that we hadn't even thought about it and who knows how long, but it was good. We decided, hey, you know what, there was like seven or eight of us that decided, hey, you know, we'll have one for ourselves and then, you know, we'll see if there's any interest and if there is, then we'll put together, you know, we'll just do the whole thing. And that's what ended up happening. How many people do you think showed up? 50? Probably about 50. It was a lot more than I expected, to be honest. Yeah, and there were some people that said they were coming, that it didn't show. And then there were people that didn't say anything that showed up. But honestly, it was a good time. I have a lot of social anxiety, especially when it's regarding anything from my teenage years. So being there at that reunion, I was really worried, but honestly, it was fine. I had a really great time and I really enjoyed getting to reconnect with some of the people that we did. I got to see one of my best friends from high school for the first time in 20 years. So that was fantastic and we had a really good time. And we got to smoke weed with some of these people. Yeah, we did. We brought a bunch of party favors. We got the syrup and the gummies and pre -rolls and I even took three or four disposable vapes and passed them out. Yeah, so we got people high and was it a brewery? So we drank. That was fun. But we had a really good time, I think. I got to see Sarah. So I got to see another one of my best friends from high school. Out of my three close girlfriends from high school, two of them were there. Yeah, and you saw the night before you saw it. And then the night before we got to hang out with Tina because we went to our school's homecoming game. And then the bar after. The bar after was a lot of fun, actually. That was, so you and I and then Valerie and Chance and Tina went to Preyston's Bar and Waylon came and met us. That was fun. Yeah, I like that. I like naming all these people for people that don't know who these people are. Yeah, I don't mean to do that. It's just the way that my autistic brain works. I have to like line it up to figure it for me to figure out who was what we were doing. I'm sorry about that. So we were with all these peoples that we've known for like 20 something years. I probably would have told the story the same way. But yeah, so we had a good time though. But I, yesterday I kept singing, when she's not too pretty in the face, but she's super thick. I'm just thinking with my dick. And I was like, why am I thinking, why am I singing that song? Why is that song stuck in my head? And then I remembered when we were out Friday night with people, with everybody from school. We, somebody played that song at the bar like three times in a row. Yeah, it was that weirdo, really big guy that, I don't know. He was strange. Something about him. The one with the beard? No, not that guy. The Hispanic guy? Yeah. I don't know him. The other guy. No, we didn't know them. No, the guy with the beard, he's always there. Yeah. I don't know. He, he like kept trying to insert himself because we were a pretty obviously close group that were there. He was like totally jealous of how well we were all getting along. And he seemed to kind of be ignoring the woman that he was with. And she was probably way out of his league. So you think that he'd appreciate it more? It was probably his sister. I hope not. Based on some of the hand placements I saw. Oh. Who knows? People are fucking weird. I've touched my sister's butt, but it was just to hit it. It wasn't to, you know, there was no grabbing. Not like that guy was a grabber. Anyways, but then on Saturday we had our 20 year reunion at the, at a brewery and it was a lot of fun. And I'd mentioned the brewery, but the beer wasn't really very good and there was like other problems that we had. So yeah, we're excluding the name. To be nice. Yeah. They have like concrete floors and you know, when somebody like digs up the concrete to work on like plumbing or pipes. Dig a trench for a drainage or something, then you have to fill that back in. But they didn't fill it all the way up or maybe it was bad concrete or bad mix or something. And they, uh, the top layer of it was kind of crumbling. So people were tripping on it. Um, and including Jen who fell. Yours truly. I fell, um, hit my knees in the concrete and also landed and caught myself with my right hand, which is the hand that I just had carpal tunnel on two months ago. So that was fun. So that, that feels good. Yeah, that feels fricking fantastic. It's, I went to the, or the urgent care the next morning. It is not broken or fractured. It is only sprained, but it hurts really badly. And we'll see what the hand doctor says on Thursday. Right. Cause the surgery recovery, like you're still during the recovery from your surgery when this happened. So who knows what it's going to do? Hopefully they don't have to like do any more surgery. Hopefully it's just, Oh, that just, it sucks, but it's, it'll heal. Yeah. That's what I'm hoping for, but we don't know. So that's so, yeah, it's so frustrating because you've already been recovering and not able to use your hand for so many different things like lighting your joint, what you're doing, but, uh, yeah, so that's really frustrating. I imagine. I know it is. Um, so yeah, it's super frustrating. It's very annoying. So we did that, but it was really good to see people like everybody. It was a good group that showed up to be honest. Like everybody seemed pretty good. Yeah. Yeah. Who, uh, I mean, I don't think anybody showed up that I wasn't expecting to in like a bad way. Like nobody showed up that I would have been like, no, I don't want that person here. No. And so that's cool. Um, not that there's very many of those, but, um, I feel like I even kind of knew like 90 % of the people there. Yeah. And, and it was, I guess that's what happens when like, we're the ones using like Facebook to do the reunion. Like we're only going to see the people that we already had exposure to. Um, but there were, there were lots of people outside of those groups that didn't show and I know that they know about it, so yeah. Well, I mean, and then, you know, there's like a lot of people have to work on Saturday night. Yeah. A lot of people in the service industry at all. Then, yeah, we had a lot of classmates out to work. Um, you know, a lot of classmates that aren't local or that don't care. We've, we've had people who passed away. Um, we, it, it seems as though we have people who maybe got along a few years ago and we're still their group of friends from high school, we're still a pretty tight knit group and then maybe a few election phases ago is what it kind of seems that that group separated. And then that some of those people, as from what I understand shattered, it's done. Yeah. So, you know, like it's not justifiably, you know, anybody on, you know, one side should, shouldn't put up with the other. Uh, yeah, but, and I, and I know some people like had, you know, have kids and stuff, so they couldn't come, but there were some people, it was good to see some teachers too. That was really cool to see some teachers. We haven't seen them forever. One of my favorite stories to tell from high school, I was about a teacher that I didn't even remember his name, but he was there and I coach Smith, coach Smith. Yeah. Um, I didn't know he was a coach. I'm sure I did when I was in the class, but right this, I was okay. It was integrated chemistry, physics and chemistry, integrated physics and chemistry. ICP. No, IPC. I know. Sorry. We, that was the thing. Cause that was like at the height of Insane Clown Posse's, you know, popularity. I would assume, do you think they have more fans now than they did then? And it is, is it only because of population gain? Like it's just the families of the people who already were fans that now their kids are fans. Uh, anyway, so I had this, uh, integrated physics and chemistry class, which is a pretty entry level class, right? It's your freshmen that you could skip it. Like they're like, you don't really need this class, but it counts for a credit. And so I didn't take it because I wanted to take biology and then I took anatomy and then I took chemistry and then I needed one more. And I didn't want to take physics for whatever reason. I looking back on it, I totally should have taken physics. Yeah, I've been fascinated by physics as an adult. And if I would have really understood what it was or like my potential interest in it, I would have absolutely taken it. I should have, that was dumb, but I did take it. So, uh, didn't take it. Uh, so what, what I did was go backwards to the class that you take freshman year, uh, my senior year. And that's actually all I needed to say for him to like glow up and realize who I was. He's like, Oh yeah, I remember you. So that was fun. Um, but I was also glad that he didn't remember me right away in a negative way because that would have been like, cause I was kind of a shit. Well, yeah, you were a shit. So I didn't know how much of a shit I had been in his class. Um, but he was actually the only teacher that I think I had. I don't know. Maybe I had vineyard, but I just don't remember. But anyway, she taught Spanish. Yeah. Yeah. I think I, for Spanish too, after Treplinsky failed me. So, um, I say that like I actually did all my work and she's failed and still failed me. That's definitely not true. Come to find out she failed everybody. Yeah, she did fail a lot of people that she fought with. Yeah. If she didn't get along with it, she didn't like you. She fought, she failed you. So I'm good for her. So there's a, yeah, so he's, he's there and, and I told him why I remembered him and this story, um, he would, it actually starts with a joke and he would always, uh, you know, mentioned something about a pot for. And, and, uh, and, and he did this and there was a particular person in the class that fell for it every time frequently. Like he did it often enough that everybody else was looking at her like, please don't fall for it again. And she was just, I don't know. I don't even, I think of her and I immediately think of her little friend too. Like they're one person because they were just like, to me, I only ever saw them coming into class together right at the last second and then leaving the class together. And so I just only, and I didn't even look like see them outside of class ever. So my only thought was like these two people together and I don't even remember the other girl's name. Um, and I'm not going to say the name of her because the story is kind of not nice towards her because she kept falling for this joke over and over and over again. And he would just be like, Hey, what, what are you doing over there with that pot for? And she was like, what? You know, the pot for, and what's a pot for? Well, cooking stupid.

A highlight from S14 E08: The 5-Day Job Search Success Story

"Hello, welcome to the alone a show. I'm your host John May alone a this episode don't have regulars cuz reasons I guess Getting old, but whatever as for a guest He is she is from New York City Curly in Boston and she is a best -selling author of the five -day job search Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Annie Margarita Yang Hey Peter, I'm so excited to be on your show today Thank you so much for inviting me to the alone a show Before we get started I just want to let your listeners know that if they stick around until the end of today's episode They will learn how they can get a special offer, which is a 10 % off Coupon code on the five -day job search and not only that it will be a signed paperback copy of the five -day job search So hey guys, please stick until the very end. I Can refuse this kind of office. So yeah, I just really suggest that it'll be pretty cool So how's life? Life, I think life has been quite busy, but I don't complain. It's been quite wonderful. I'm actually on a podcast tour at the moment booked on 60 podcasts to promote this new book getting on between like two to four each day and So much more than 60 because my plan is to go on 500 over the next 12 months So I would say busy but wonderful good grief. That's a lot of podcast. Yes, that's crazy Well, you know, my motto is you got to go big or go home Whenever you're setting out to do something. So I can't argue with that that's I I go though up by that saying every day and Have you been up too much recently besides doing podcast appearances? Well, I've been learning how to do marketing because this is my second book and the first book I haven't done any marketing for the first book, which is one thousand one ways to save money Most of the sales came from my youtube channel where at the end of the video. I just tell people hey guys I don't take sponsorships on my channel because I want to stay as authentic as possible So if you want to support me just buy a copy of my book on Amazon and leave a review But this second book the five -day job search I'm looking to actually sell millions of this So I want this to go mainstream So so I'm like trying to learn as much as possible on How that's done and I'm just throwing every single possible idea out there and implementing it It doesn't matter what the cost is, but just trying to figure it all out. So That's what I've been up to lately All right, very good. Very good So, uh before you get you've got down to writing this book What what what jobs or experience did you have up until now? I've had several so from I guess the time I graduated high school Just a whole string of minimum wage jobs such as like giving massages working as a cashier Slicing deli meats and cheeses working at Domino's pizza Collecting tickets basketball things like that but what really inspired the subject for this book and why it's called the five -day job search is because after I graduated with a degree in Communications, I ended up working at Domino's pizza. So don't let your degree due to speaking for you because it's not the golden ticket It's supposed to be to want a great paying job and After Domino's pizza, I moved to Boston. I decided you know what? I want to make my mark on this world I don't care what people think what they're gonna say. I'm just gonna go after everything I want. So I applied for accounting jobs without an accounting degree and I Applied to 50 but 50 jobs per day Within a week. I got a job offer and That was great. But then that manager was toxic, right? So Two months later. I was on a job search again. I landed another accounting position in only six days Then a year later. I wanted to buy a house So I needed to make even more money and I figured my boss wouldn't give me the raise that I want So I decided it's time for another job search Started looking started applying to 50 a day and then within five days. I got an accounting position Without the accounting degree, so there must be something I'm doing right That other people don't know or or aren't doing because far more people are more qualified than me But why is it that I'm the one who gets the job? Interesting I actually do want to know What what is it in your book and the end the journey you have talking? that has really got you to the position that you've gotten yourself into I Would say I've really learned personal branding So one of the things that I talk about in the book is the importance of having a professional headshot That's actually like one of the first things that I did after I landed the entry -level accounting position I got was okay. Now I'm making more money than when I was making minimum wage How am I gonna use this extra money that I now have this disposable money? I decided to save up that money to get a professional headshot done and I learned that the headshot isn't for the job you have now So just because I was working in entry -level accounting doesn't mean that the headshot should Make make it look like that's the kind of job I was working the headshot should actually be for the job that you want. So the photographer he asked me What what's your end goal here? like what do you want your next job to be or like really down the line and I said I want to look like a future CFO in the making and He said, okay, that's what we're gonna go after and Not just that not just getting the professional headshot done but like You really have to put your best foot forward for that photo because 80 % of looking amazing Is from all the homework you do before you step into the studio. So this photographer he told me hey Annie This is everything you need to do like three days before get a good night's sleep because you can't hide eye bags with Photoshop You know also Drink lots of water because you need to stay hydrated especially your lips. You don't want chapped lips You can't fix that with Photoshop Another thing is book an appointment at your local hair salon get your hair done, you know Get a haircut get a blowout so you come in looking amazing the same day and then also use a makeup artist because a lot of people they can do their makeup and It doesn't look right because makeup done in real life is very natural looking but actually when it's done for the camera, it needs to look cakey because Otherwise you will look so washed out and white Due to the bright white studio light So you need to use a professional makeup artist to come out with your best and this applies to men men Also need to wear makeup for the photo That's big and When do you do you think that it's important to have some sort of experience when you apply for a job as or more than With the degrees and education that you've gotten in the past. I Think the experience is far more important than the degree because You know based on what I've seen and my personal journey the employer has cared more about my past experiences and accomplishments more than Where or what I studied in college.

A highlight from 1447: Max Keiser: Bitcoin will reach $10,000,000 per coin

"In today's show, I'll be breaking down the latest Bitcoin technical analysis and this just in, there are now nearly 40 million Bitcoin addresses in profit, which is a new record. So congratulations and shout out to my long term hodlers. Also in today's show, as I shared, the Bitcoin white paper turns 15 years old today as Satoshi Nakamoto's legacy lives on. Let's go. Also in today's show, crypto asset manager Valkyrie amends their spot Bitcoin ETF filing. I'll be breaking down this latest update, as well as a Bitcoin rally to $50 ,000 per coin is now on the cards as the Bitcoin bull market arrives. According to top crypto analysts, I'll be sharing his timeline. Also in today's show, Max Keiser joins the Alex Jones show to predict the latest Bitcoin trends and price predictions and warns of suicide bankers that will destroy the world. Not only that, but Max Keiser gives Alex Jones a simple, very simple five question Bitcoin quiz for 10 ,000 Bitcoin worth $350 million in today's terms. I'll be breaking all this down for you. We'll also be taking a look at the overall crypto market, all this plus so much more in today's show. Yo, what's good crypto fam? This is first and foremost, a video show. So if you want the full premium experience with video, visit my YouTube channel at Cryptonewsalerts .net. Again, that's crypto news alerts dot net. Welcome, everyone, to podcast episode number fourteen hundred and forty seven of the Cryptonewsalerts pod. Today is Bitcoin's birthday, October 31st, 2023. Bitcoin is 15 years old and I'm your fearless host, JV. We have lots to cover, as we always do. So let's kick it off with our market watch. As we can see, you should be able to see Bitcoin barely in the green, holding on to thirty four thousand four hundred support. We also have ether barely in the green, a little bit of boring trading sideways action. But if we check out, you know what they say, when in doubt, zoom out. Right. Let's check out the seven day coin 360. Bitcoin's now up four percent. You got XRP up nine percent. Let's zoom out a little more and check out the one month price gains. Let's freaking go. This is a testament that October in full effect, Bitcoin is up almost twenty eight percent this month. Let's freaking go. That's pretty massive. And let's not forget, we're moving into moonvember tomorrow. So do you think we're going to surpass forty thousand? I think so. In fact, if I was a betting man, I'd bet on it. Now, if we zoom out, can we even zoom out a little more? Let's see here. Well, let's switch it up. Let's go to coin market cap dot com. We can see the crypto market cap currently sits at one point two eight trillion with Bitcoin dominance at fifty two point eight percent and the ether dominance at seventeen point one percent and checking out the top one hundred crypto gainers within the top or in the past twenty four hours. We got Celestia, which I've never even heard of before. Up sixteen percent. We got XDC up six percent trading at five cents, followed by TonCoin up five percent trading at five dollars and thirty three cents and checking out crypto bubbles. We can see the top gainers for the past week. We have a mixture. Some are in the red, some are in the green. And let's zoom out. Let's check out the weekly massive gains in the green. Let's check out the monthly. Wow. Incredible. Some of these alt coins are up 50, 60, 70 percent, which is pure insanity. E -Hacks is up one hundred and forty five percent. What about the annual? Holy moly. And let's check out the market cap plus the week and we can see Bitcoin and a big bubble at three point three percent, followed by ether at two point nine percent and checking out the crypto greed and fear index. We're currently rated at sixty six, which is greed. Yesterday, a sixty eight. Last week is sixty six and last month a forty eight, which is neutral. So there you have it, fam. Yeah. So let's kick it off with our Bitcoin technical analysis. Check out the charts with the Bitcoin price action is likely to go next. Here we go. Bitcoin's price trying to push towards the coveted thirty five thousand level. The current high for the year is thirty five thousand two hundred, but has so far been unable to progress. The rest of the crypto market seems to continue with its consolidation, with some of the alts performing better than others. So let's start with Bitcoin here. The Bitcoin price was trading above thirty four G's and seemingly pushing for the thirty five level. And right now we're right in between those two marks. Today, the price remains above thirty four, roughly thirty four five at the time of the live, but is unable to reach the coveted resistance level and is currently at a loss, but barely. We're, you know, kind of tinkering. And liquidation data is also interesting to monitor. According to Coin Glass, the total liquidations for the past twenty four hours are just short of one hundred million bucks. Most of these were long positions accounting for sixty three percent of the total. This shows that the bears were more dominant over the period. Now, the majority of the liquidations, as always, happened on Binance, which is the largest crypto exchange in the world, followed by OKEx and Bybit. And I'm curious, what's your go to recommended crypto exchange? Do you use Binance? Do you use OKEx? Do you use Bybit? Do you use Coinbase? Do you use Kraken? Let me know, fam. And let's now check out some of the technicals specifically for Bitcoin. Right now, as you can see, the oscillators on the left, we have three cell signals. We have seven neutral and one buy signal. And that one buy signal is the MACD, which you can see here on your screen. Now, if we scroll to the right a little bit, we can see for the summary, there's currently eight neutral signals. There's four cell signals and 14 buy signals, which is definitely a bullish indicator. And for the moving averages, which may be cut off on your screen, but I can read it to you. It shows you sell signals, only one neutral, only one. And we have freakin 13 buy signals right now. The market is ripe and ready for continuation of some momentum. So let's freakin go. Now, let's break down our next story of the day and discuss some technicals, which are definitely bullish for Bitcoin. As you can see here, there are now nearly 40 million addresses in profit. If you're one of those 40 million Bitcoin addresses in profit, make some noise in that live chat and let's freakin celebrate. I mean, that's a massive victory, to say the least. Bitcoin has more wallet addresses and profit than ever before. Despite Bitcoin's price being 50 percent below the all time highs. That's right. Right now, you can buy Bitcoin two for one special, but it's not going to last for long. So seize the moment, fam. The latest data is from on chain analytics from Glassnode showing a record number of addresses in the black. Bitcoin may be nearing 18 month highs, but its recent gains were already enough to spark the significant changes in investor profitability. Shout out to relaxing and meditation music. I the appreciate ten dollar super chat. Much love, much respect. Keep it coming. Let's go. Per Glassnode data, the number of addresses in profit as of October 30th was thirty nine point one million. This is the highest number ever recorded for the Bitcoin users and beats the previous peak of thirty eight point one million seen back in November of twenty twenty one. And does this date ring a bell? That's at the time we hit the all time high of sixty nine thousand. Now, at the time, Bitcoin itself traded at those all time highs and thus 100 percent of the addresses in existence with a non -zero balance were obviously in profit. And while the current spot price remains 50 percent lower than those levels, the total non -zero addresses now number forty eight point three million, as you can see here in this chart. And it's just likely to continue soaring and rising. Bitcoiners taking over the world. Yeah, I mean, in percentage terms and profit addresses, they have yet to match their performance in absolute numbers, but nonetheless, at 18 month highs of eighty one point one percent. Let's go. The tally has gone from 60 percent to over 80 percent over the past two months, as Glassnode shares here in the chart. And by contrast, addresses at a loss currently stand at just over nine million at their peak in December of twenty twenty two. Following the FTX meltdown, the total was over 20 million. Now, as reported, the past week has seen the Bitcoin price action pass multiple resistance levels while returning both the long term and short term hodlers back to profit. This in turn sparked profit taken at the much more speculative end of the hodler spectrum, especially as the market passed thirty four G's. Now for crypto analyst Van Stratton, research and data analyst at Crypto Insights Crypto Slate. This underscores the difference in mentality between the cohorts, quoting him here. Bitcoin has shown remarkable strength above thirty four thousand for the past five days while witnessing one of the strongest profit takings in the past two years for the short term hodlers. Now, long term hodlers have barely budged the six largest profit taking this year, but minimal in the grand scheme of things and accompanying the charts from Glassnode tracked these inflows to the exchanges from the long term hodlers and in profit to the short term entities as outlined here in these charts. Now, let's break down the 15 year birthday, the 15 year anniversary of Bitcoin. I mean, this is phenomenal that Bitcoin has been in existence for 15 years. Imagine if you would have knew about Bitcoin back on October 31st, 2008. Talk about a small circle. But yeah, today marks 15 years since the synonymous creator of Bitcoin, the one and only Satoshi Nakamoto, who Alex Jones claims Max Kaiser is maybe because Max holds as much Bitcoin as Satoshi. Who knows? But anyways, shared the Bitcoin white paper to the mailing list of cryptographers on October 31st, 2008. This was after the financial collapse, fam, and a date also annually celebrated as Halloween, quoting the the white paper here. I have been working on a new electronic cash system that is fully peer to peer with no trusted third party, as Satoshi famously said in the opening sentence before linking the document titled Bitcoin, a peer to peer electronic cash system. Holy moly. I mean, again, this is legendary. This is history in the making. You're witnessing firsthand the white paper proposed the decentralized system that could facilitate peer to peer transactions, which can solve the double spending problem often associated with digital currency in which it did. It proposed to achieve this via a network of nodes, validate and record transactions through the proof of work consensus mechanism, launching just two months later, officially on January 3rd, 2009. Satoshi's computer science breakthrough came on the back of other impressive developments in the cryptography and e -money spaces. The first reference cited the Bitcoin white paper is Wade's invention of B money, an electronic peer to peer cash system that never launched, but nonetheless played a key role in Satoshi's plans for Bitcoin and like Bitcoin B money. And I'm curious how many of you have ever heard of B money? We have all heard of B rabbit from 8 Mile, but B money, I've never heard of that one, proposed that participants in the system maintain a database of account balances, which keep track of the ownership of money. Transactions would be initiated and completed by a broadcast message to all participants, which would update the account balances of those involved in a specific transaction. In many ways, it could be seen as a precursor to the nose of the Bitcoin protocol, which keeps a record of the constantly growing blockchain. And I'm curious, how many of you run your own Bitcoin node? Let me know in that live chat. Fam, this process requires proof of work, a form of cryptographic proof in which one party proves to others that a certain amount of the specific computational effort has been expanded. Now, Satoshi implemented this into Bitcoin, citing Adam Back's invention of hash cash in 1997. Shout out to Adam Back, the creator of, I believe it's Blockstream, now, which incorporated proof of work to limit the email spam of denial of service attacks, as shared here by Crypto Leroy, the cypherpunks and fathers of Bitcoin, Hal Finney, he created the reusable proof of work. We got Adam Back, who created hash cash, Wei Dai, who created B money, David Shum, who created DigiCash. We have Nick Szabo, who created BitGold, Phil Zimmerman, who created PGP, Bram Cohen, who created BitTorrent, and Tim May, who is the crypto Antichrist Manifesto, and of course, the one and only Satoshi Nakamoto, who gets credited for the discovery of Bitcoin. Now, Bitcoin's timestamp server works by taking a hash akin to a unique serial number, a block transactions and time stamping, and when the block is added to the Bitcoin blockchain, which we all know. And as Crypto Shama points out here, also giving credit to everyone involved with some of the early developments for the technology that led to Bitcoin. So shout out to all of them, including Max Keiser. If you didn't know, Max Keiser has a patent, I believe the first one for digital currency back in the 90s. That's all on record, fam. So this is pretty amazing. Now, the genius in Satoshi was the puzzling of these pieces into a fully functional system. According to Lop, quoting him here, there is no single piece of the puzzle that I think is more important than the others. Nakamoto's genius was not any of the individual components of Bitcoin, but rather the intricate way in which they fit together and breathe life into the system. Preach. Now, mainstream media highlighted Bitcoin's increased use by criminals, which we know is nothing more than FUD. We got Senator Elizabeth Warren, also Cynthia Lummis pushing those FUD narratives, which suck. We also know Bitcoin became a legal tender in El Salvador, which was the country to adopt Bitcoin as a legal tender, which has been a game changer for their entire country. And I feel we're going to have many other nations lead in the footsteps of Bukele as well as, you know, El Salvador in adopting Bitcoin as a legal tender. So, yeah. Happy birthday, Bitcoin. I'm wishing you another successful hundred and fifty years after these 15 years. You know, the final Bitcoin is not going to be mine, I believe, until the year 2140. Crack me if I'm wrong, but that's a very long time from now. Now, let's break down our next story of the day. Valkyrie updated their ETF filing. We all know right now all eyes on spot ETF. So let's break down this latest development. Digital asset manager Valkyrie Investments, the latest firm to amend its spot Bitcoin ETF filing with the US SEC Valkyrie filed the updated spot Bitcoin ETF with the US SEC October 30th, which is yesterday, according to the SEC database. Now check it. The updated form as one registration statement from Valkyrie Bitcoin Fund aims to offer investors the opportunity to invest in common shares backed by Bitcoin. The shares represent units of fractional, undivided beneficial interest and ownership of the trust and are expected to be traded under the ticker symbol BRRR, just like money printer continue to go kind of cool on the Nasdaq stock market, quoting them here. The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed, according to Valkyrie, stating in the filing, adding the firm is not allowed to sell BRRR securities until the registration statement is officially effective. The amended filing comes about a month after the SEC delayed its decision on the Valkyrie Bitcoin Fund in late September. Meanwhile, Valkyrie's updated spot Bitcoin ETF joins at least six others recently amended spot Bitcoin ETF filings made by the following Bitwise, BlackRock, Fidelity, Grayscale, VanEck and ARK Invest. And according to online crypto ETF analysts, the ongoing Bitcoin ETF amendments can be translated as a good sign, definitely a good omen, in my opinion, of the progress and impending approvals. Valkyrie's latest spot Bitcoin ETF update is yet another evidence of movement happening behind the scenes. Bloomberg ETF analyst James Safart believes, quoting him here from X Update, Valkyrie joins the prospectus amendment train for the spot Bitcoin ETF. Things are still moving behind the scenes and following the recent amendments, at least five of the rest of the known spot Bitcoin ETF filers have not updated their filing. So expect them soon, including firms like Wisdom Tree, Invesco, Galaxy, Global X, Hashdex and Franklin Templeton. The SEC currently has a whopping eight to 10 filings at the desk of the chairman, Gary Gensler. But the million dollar question becomes, will Gary Gensler do anything about this and accept any of these spot Bitcoin ETFs? Congress is putting the pressure on Gary. He says you need to prove the spot Bitcoin ETFs immediately, with that key word being immediately. There's some deadlines that are due soon, including ARK 21. I believe it's January 10th. I personally feel we're going to get the green light from the SEC before the Bitcoin having creating the perfect storm. Let's move on to our next story of the day. We covered the ETF filing. Now let's discuss a potential $50 ,000 Bitcoin rally here incoming, according to crypto analysts, Michal Benday Pop, before I break down the latest with Max Kaiser recently on the Alex Jones show. Here we go. A widely followed crypto analyst believes Bitcoin has officially entered the bull market territory and is now primed for a rally towards $50 ,000 per coin. Send it and let's go. We got Michal Benday Pop, who shared on X that the Bitcoin bull market is here. I would agree. What are your thoughts, fam? Benday Pop predicts the Bitcoin will rally as high as $50 ,000 per coin in the coming months before witnessing a pullback and surging to a new all time high. Quitting the analysts here, I think we'll see Bitcoin hit resistance at 38 Gs, baby, but most likely will continue towards 45 to 50 ,000 per Bitcoin pre having after that consolidation and sideways action for a long period before we start making new all time highs. And this is the chart which you can see here in your screen, which if you analyze it, he appears to predict Bitcoin will see $50 ,000 in January of 2024. What is that? November or November's tomorrow. So December, two months. Send it. I love it. Right in alignment with Credible Crypto, who's predicting $48 ,000 in the next two weeks. Let's go. I hope they're both right. The halving, which had historically coincided with the Bitcoin bull run, slashes the Bitcoin mining rewards, as we all know, in half, which is slated for April 2024, under six months out. And for now, Benday Pop thinks Bitcoin's in the midst of a consolidation period and a dip below $33 ,000 is still on the table. Quoting him again alongside this chart, Bitcoin technically constructing a range here slight correction towards $33 ,300 and quickly bought up if the lower boundaries are reached. Probably sentiment will flip bearish the $32 ,800, but that would signal a great long opportunity touche. Now let's break down our featured story of the day and discuss Max Keiser, who was just recently interviewed on the Alex Jones show. He was invited back. And let me share with you a little the back story, just in case you don't know the back story. Now, back in the day, maybe it was 2014, many years ago, Max Keiser, being a kind hearted gentleman, went on the Alex Jones show and he gifted Alex Jones 10 ,000 Bitcoin. I don't know the exact value of the Bitcoin at that time, but I can tell you what the value of 10 ,000 Bitcoin is in today's prices. If you run the math, that is freakin 350 million dollars. Long story short, Alex Jones claims he lost the laptop that Max put the Bitcoin on. Therefore, he has none of it. So Max being the kind hearted gentleman he is, he said, let me come back on the show now. And he actually just released this episode yesterday. So this is brand new, breaking all these predictions and everything I'm sharing with you. And I'm going to give you a basic quiz on Bitcoin, Alex. And if you can answer these five questions, I will give you another 10 ,000 Bitcoin valued at roughly three hundred and fifty million dollars per coin. And so Alex invited Max on the show. They did the quiz. Here are some of the highlights of the show I'm going to be sharing with you. However, if you want to watch it live with me, we're going to be doing a live JV react session exclusively on Rumble after the show stream ends on YouTube. We're going to be watching it together where Max is quizzing Alex and I'll be reacting live to the video. It's something I've never done before. Live reacting to these videos, but I think it's going to be phenomenal considering it's brand new content. Many of you have never seen it before. So make sure you're following me on Rumble because it's going to be lit. But first and foremost, here are some of the highlights from this recent interview. I posted it yesterday exclusively. I was the first one to post the entire interview on X. I already got over 500 hearts, 166 retweets and over fifty two thousand people viewed it. Here's what I wrote. Max Keiser joins the Alex Jones show to predict the latest Bitcoin trends and warn of the suicide bankers that will destroy the world. And here are some of the quotes regarding his predictions when Alex Jones asked them, so where's Bitcoin going to go next? Where do we go from here? Here's what Max Keiser shared. All fiat money and gold eventually goes to effectively zero against Bitcoin because it's demonetizing gold. The same way gold demonetized silver, Bitcoin will be demonetizing gold. So sure, gold will be maybe two thousand, three thousand, four thousand dollars announced. But we're talking about Bitcoin eventually going to five million to ten million dollars per coin. So you're purchasing power in gold terms is almost basically nothing compared to what's happening in Bitcoin. Preach very powerful words. And there is another quote I believe that I shared here. Let's see if I can find it. I click back on here.

"Listening to WC PTA 20, because facts matter. This hearing is evidence. As if we needed anymore that maga Republicans are a threat to the rule of law in America. Less than two months ago, former president Trump facing mounting investigations into his many alleged crimes declared that, quote, Republicans in Congress should defund the DoJ in the FBI until they can come to their senses. And we all know that when Trump says jump, Republicans in the House say how high. Let's be some states of black cat. Fridays with friends. Oh, the new shadow for a delicious Johnny Dahl hands off the cuff to her. T-shirts are available now at Stephanie Miller dot com.

Right, right, right, right. Pam in New Hampshire, you're on with friends. Hello. Hi, Stephanie. In case people missed at the other night, Colorado Springs, Republican and evangelical, a black man Democrat won by 14 points in Alaska city council got ten Democrats the Republicans no longer control that. Pennsylvania Democrats kept bend Oregon very Republican, not one Nazi book banner won. So I don't think the media wants to report it because they want it close, but people need to pay attention. These people are losing by big, big points. Yeah. And the mayor of Jacksonville is a Democrat for the first time. 11 billion years. A woman Democrats are winning all over the country. And the media is not reporting it, but you know what? They're going to end up in jail if they support these Republicans. They will not hesitate to throw them in jail and have them arrested. Let's talk about the implosion of Ron DeSantis and losing a $1 billion infrastructure project in his state, along with we were saying 2006 figure jobs, not just like any jobs, but right on cue, he's going to announce his presidential campaign. So David and Miami real quick on this very subject. Hey David. Understand that there's still this last time chasing out the way we did is insignificant compared to the power of a force. But he made some homemade comedy for you like a little ashtray. It was a Jim Gordon. Oh, it hurts the force. It doesn't work well over a phone though. No. The audio did some help. It was honoring Jim ward, though. And we appreciate it. We do appreciate that. I do too. I love you too. I just wanted to echo what you said about Jamaal Bowman. He said, Marjorie Taylor Greene and her press conference this morning is something incredibly dangerous and incredibly reckless about me. Talking about my demeanor as being aggressive and saying she feels intimidated by me. Unfortunately, this country has a history of characterizing black men who are outspoken who stand their ground and who push back as being threatening or intimidating. So she's not even using a dog whistle. She's using a bullhorn to put a target on my back to the people that she refers to as maga people out there who might want to cause harm. And this is obviously a really, very real threat when you look at Jerry Conley's office this week, someone breaking into Jake Sullivan's house in the middle of the night. Paul Pelosi on and on, right? Yes, yes, these people. And what we're seeing and what do we have like a crazy enough in the last 7 days we've had a crazy number of shootings. People are unhinged. Yes. And this political party, the GLP, is directing that unhinged element, not only they're engaging, and they're directing it. When Trump said stand down standby, Martin Taylor Greene got the memo. Yeah. That's right. And then you got governor Abbott that's making sure they're armed. Yeah. Yeah. He said, she knows what she's doing when she does that. Unfortunately, white supremacist historically, this is what they do. They try to dehumanize black people, black skin, and the black humanity, so they can be more likely to be targeted for harm. Anyway, the false equivalencies, I. I've reached my breaking point this week, right? With the, you know, her saying, calling me a white supremacist. And by the way, do you believe that she thinks that the N word is a horrible thing and no one should ever say it? Do you feel like this? She's never seen it. Yeah, okay. I believe she's out there saying whatever suits her agenda. Yeah. I would like to offer to explain it to her in detail. In person, because you are a liberal. You are a liberal helper. I'm a help her. And I found sometimes with people who are dense, you know, have trouble getting information. You have to input it manually. Yes. Take the information. I've got big breaking news from tarantula. Yes. Tim Scott's officially in the presidential race. Oh, thank God. I can feel the electricity from everybody. I'm telling you something. I don't know what that outburst was about. Oh.

"AI today and you say, wait a minute. This is actually entering into our radar two months ago, right? Before that, you never heard about Chad GPT or GPT in general, even though the technology is being developed for a long while now. Right. But all of a sudden, we are experiencing some sort of change of behavior, right? And the change of behavior is not whether or not the technology is good or not, or not good or good enough or not good. And if it's not about that, it's about the fact that there are some people that are going to chat GPT before they go to Google. And when this happens, that change the behavior. Now, in reality, you would say, wait a minute. It's not good enough, and actually instead of getting multiple perspectives on the search of Google and then you can actually choose the one that makes sense for you. You're going to get one. And it's going to be written in a beautiful way that makes perfect sense, even though that it might not. But it's still the case, right? Now the reality is that if you look around it and what happened in the market and you say, wait a minute, we will just announce their own, right? So obviously they haven't built it in the last two months, right? They have built it for a long while, and now they realize that maybe even if it's not ready, we have to go to the market with that because otherwise we might be missing the opportunity here. And they're not the only one, right? So all of a sudden there is a realization that okay change is likely to happen in the market in the way that we are generating text possibly. Searching for information definitely because you're going to get nicer results, right? If you search Google, you're going to get whatever some other actually generate that in a single web page.

Okay, well to finish you were right on track there because what happened was why we're having this unique fire with these big balls of fire above the crowns of the trees in Lake Tahoe and everything. That's because of all this algae in the lake. Was dormant because, um, hundreds of miles north of Lake Tahoe, hundreds of miles north of Lake Tahoe. Are these glaciers and snow packs? And more rains, which are these dams made by the glaciers pushing all this mud and silt in front of it right and we had a big melt about two months ago. And all those minerals were released in the surface. Groundwater washed into Lake Tahoe, giving all that allergy all those minerals and suddenly they turned all the carbon oxide in the lake and the carbon dioxide in the air above the lake into oxygen. The oxygen driving that Lake Tahoe fired. The firefighters can't figure out how to deal with it. Now when the fire gets 50 miles north of the lake. They can handle it because the oxygen doesn't go that far. That's what you're saying They're able to handle it now because the powers move away north of the lake because it doesn't have the oxygen anymore. It's weird, but that's the true story..

And as a result of trying to treat what what people thought was one specific issue. It had another effect. Uh, with real, uh, as it relates to cardiac health. And so it all ended up being a false positive. But there for awhile, it was assumed that I was a walking Wilford Brimley, who was going to fall over and drop dead any second, And that's not actually an exaggeration at all. I was not allowed to get my heart rate up for over 124 Approximately eight weeks, I had to cut everything out of my diet. Um and I dropped way more weight than ever. I lost my muscle. My muscle mass. My gains. You know, I couldn't lift. I couldn't do anything. And it was it was. I mean, it was a terrifying eight weeks.

I'm fine. I'm very grateful for that. And there is no issue cardiac or otherwise. But there for a while, it was kind of a reality. And after going through something like that, you just You're really, really hesitant to put yourself through anything are needed. And you just want some answers, and I will absolutely Not be condescended to by some high horse riding, you know, self involved egoist, regardless of whether they're Democrat or Republican. Stay in your damn lane. I don't care who you are. I've had a friend tried to lecture me about this and I said kindly, you're going to withdraw stump.

I don't throw shade on other people's decisions, and I'll be damned if I take that with mine. Because I try to approach everything you know, as as purposely as possible, and I want to know as much as possible. So this idea that I see from people you know all of this like these mandates, and these insistence I was telling Juan and Kane. I had a friend who over the weekend who had had coronavirus had coronavirus already. Had it. And was one of those people who was entirely asymptomatic. And got through it and then got checked for antibodies had the antibodies. The whole family did try to go to a place over the weekend and was denied entry because they could not produce Proof of being vaccinated and my friend was like I literally have had it. I got over it Not two months ago. I literally had it. And natural and they said that doesn't matter. You still have to have the best. This is my friend was told And that's Insanely not the only story that I've seen like that in a New York. It's the same thing you either have to tell you. I mean, well, in some places being testing negative isn't enough. There are some businesses that are some places that are going above and beyond to just be like no We're going to demand that you show proof with your export here, so What I thought the point was inoculation. So if natural immunity counts for nothing, then what is the point of this and that's do you realize how suspicious that makes people I mean, I look at this stuff going on in Australia right now. And I also look at this big push against Inver Mukden. I had a friend that that actually it was a very dear friend of ours. Who just got over. It just got over coronavirus and was treated this. Her symptoms were treated. Sorry, I will say in Vermont and I will. I will say Nagin instead of when Thank you for the correction on that. Whatever I have this thing that my mother has. And I also say, Warsh, pillow and milk, So stop I've remarked in. Thank you. But I had a friend who lives in my area and had her symptoms treated with Ivor Mukden. And in fact, one of my doctors that I actually talked to over the weekend was saying that they don't understand. The pushback against ivermectin because the reporting about it and the way the reporting of conservatives position about it, particularly and I hate how this is also political. No one's saying that it treats the virus. No one's saying no one has ever said that. I've ERM action or anything else is a treatment for the virus. It deals with the symptoms of the virus. My friend had the virus. A very dear friend who lives not two minutes from me had the virus. Was treated had the symptoms treated with ivermectin. And it reduced her symptoms so she didn't have to worry about. You know the chest pressure, etcetera, etcetera. I have another very good friend. Our kids go to school together. And cut the recovery time down. Same thing with her and she's vaccinated and she works as a nurse, and she ended up getting She had I ever met in also So to help reduce her symptoms and cut down on the recovery time. I had another friend who works well in works like in the sales not in not as a medical professional, but it is like the sales aspect of equipment for and they had to get there to get vaccinated. Had a breakthrough case I remarked in was used to treat their symptoms. It's not a treatment of the virus, and so I saw this big push back. Against all of that today. So Oh, I'm just as a scratch. Just crazy. It's crazy. I just don't understand what the what the resistance is to having. You know any kind of natural immunity because I remain things really cheap and it's been around for many, many years, and you can't make money. If you're not doing booster shots.

Doctor victory. You need that data. She's 30 years old. I was feeling ill last week when she got her Johnson Johnson. I've seen about two months ago. And not only did she but her friend who also had the Johnson Johnson came down with Corbett. I'm just wondering if there's more of these breakthrough places are sick. It's a great question and answer is yes, there are more and more breakthrough pieces as the mutations, uh, continue to occur. And as the new variants come down the pike we are finding that the vaccines are less and less effective on the vaccines were initially reported out to be in the high seventies. You know, 78% effective. Sometimes we would say 82% effective. They're now down in the low sixties with these current variants on. Unfortunately, vaccines, particularly to respiratory viruses, cause you to create antibodies to an immunity to a single specific swipe protein in this particular case. That's different from when you get the virus itself. When you actually become ill with covid you mount antibodies and develop immunity to the entire virus. The whole thing, not just that single spike protein. So unfortunately, as the viruses mutate, the vaccines do become less and less effective. They'll still have some protection and generally will keep people from getting very severe infection, hopefully keep them from getting hospitalized. But it's no comparison to the kind of immunity he would have if you actually had and recovered from Covid. So yes, we're seeing more and more breakthrough cases and people who are fully vaccinated. Yeah, the junk go ahead. Johnson was less effective. Just was curious about that if it was less effective in I don't I don't think I don't think that Johnson Johnson, one is less effective than the others. We've seen breakthrough cases in all of them. It will be. You know, some months or years before we can actually parse it all out and see how the numbers fall. But it's not my sense looking at the data on a daily basis. At Johnson and Johnson is any less effective than the others. If you have the natural antibodies, and then you recover from Covid, and you get vaccinated some months later. Do you have additional immunity or do you just get more of the same of what you already have? You're really just getting more of the same of what you already have. You have muddied the water a little bit because you now are creating those spike proteins to which you already had antibodies. And the concern is and the reason we believe that we're seeing a disproportionate number of adverse events in people who do that, John is because imagine this. You have you have covid. So you have antibodies running around in your bloodstream or you have t cell immunity. Then you go and get the vaccine and you start creating spike proteins. Those are the spike proteins that you already have antibodies to. If those spike proteins go, for example, and lay down in the lining of your blood vessel or in your heart muscle or in your kidney, those spike proteins go there in your antibodies that you already have go and attack those spike proteins. They can be attacking your own Oregon. That's the consummate auto immune reaction and auto immune response where you begin attacking your own tissues. And that's the concern that and why we really say that people who have already had covid and our covid recovered..

We apologize for the mistake story, of course, is about Bill Cosby, the entertainer. Thank you. Thank you for the clarification. It's important clarification right there. All right, And then in New York they've got they've got the heat. They've had a lot of heat throughout the course of last weekend and this week And New Yorkers have been warned. You've got to use less electricity, or we're gonna be in trouble. The tweet go out from the mayor. On Wednesday. I guess this was saying, we need New Yorkers to take immediate action. Reduce your use of electricity in your home or your business for the rest of the day. We need to avoid energy disruptions during this heat emergency. It's a heat emergency and an electricity emergency. Why is it an electricity emergency? Because they voted to shut down the nuclear power plant with no plans to replace that energy. When Andrew Cuomo's running that was his one of his pledges that he would shut down The nuclear power plant. Indian Point Is that the name of it? Uh, yes, and they shut it down two months ago. Two months ago, Governor Cuomo celebrated the closure of the final Indian Point nuclear reactor. Which generated enough electricity to power roughly 500,000 homes. With no plans to replace the energy. But I'm sure that and by the way, you get no carbon emissions whatsoever from a nuclear power plant. People are afraid of them. Because in a very backward country called Russia, where they build things very, very differently than we do here. They had a problem with their nuclear plant. Called your noble I'm sure it's nothing like the one in Indian River. More people die from virtually every other kind of energy than nuclear. People die digging coal. People die. I'm sure even solar's killed somebody by now, and certainly the wind farms have But nuclear at least in this country. Nobody And everybody's afraid of it. It is the answer. If you're concerned about global warming, it is the answer, but they voted to close it down. That's not good thinking. But it help out Right. We should check some traffic here. We.

And they voted overwhelmingly for her to remain As the GOP chairwoman. Less than two months ago, they voted overwhelmingly for her. It was a secret vote. So There were members of the Republicans in the house who voted for her because they knew that nobody would know that they voted for her. Today, and by the way that both of they had couple months ago lasted for hours, hours, the meeting debating and everything else, and then they took a vote, and she won by well over 100 votes.

Two months ago, wrote on Buck sexton dot com and go check it out, which I hope you're checking in on daily to see our news stories. We're posting there. I said that masking up outside was stupid. As a policy matter, mask mandates outdoors or dumb. Now every person with her. You know, the CDC guidance actually has said it has been pointed out to me that it's really not necessary to wear mask outside, even if you're not vaccinated that seems to be getting lost right now. But that is part of the guidance as well. A taste. That's what my friend Carol Marco, it's The New York Post told me yesterday. I was surprised to hear it from her. But it is done to wear a mask outside. It always has been, but I was censored officially by Social Media. They cut off, so ah, lot of you wouldn't have seen my post for over a week or so. And you wouldn't have seen things that were being shared by me or my my team. And Yeah, and and the White House is fine with that. They're fine with it. Oh, it's just a private company.

"This is what he said on on how tough it Woz to part ways with Doug Peterson. Today's there aren't many tougher days for. I think an owner of a team or CEO of a business than to have to make a very, very tough decision. Involving somebody you care personally a lot about. You know why? When? When, when? When? When? That's That's not even. That's not even like the half of it. It's not even 10%. Of the nonsense. Listen very carefully right now. The Eagles owner Jeffrey Lori, on what went wrong over these last few years. Would say strategic mistakes. They were made in the name of China hold the band together trying to bring back the band together. There was a lot of short term decision making an allocation of resource is That gave us probably a slightly better chance to go back to the Super Bowl in 2018 and 2019. What the hell did he just say? He doesn't even know what he's saying. They might as well Go get Adam Gates. Hi, Adam cases the head coach. They could do a show on the road when it's safe to go on the road, now presenting Jeffrey Lori Owner of the Eagles. In his clown show, Adam Gates. That is just the epitome of talking in circles. We tried to keep the band together and incrementally get better following our Super Bowl one And whose job is that? Is it Duck Peterson's job to coach the players that are out there, or is it His job to also manage the players or does that fall on the man who still has to job and Howie Roseman? I'm confused on the process here. In Philadelphia. And if I'm confused by the process I don't even want to think about How Eagles fans feel about this process. Because this process seems like it's something without thought. I don't know of Howie Roseman is washing. You know Jeffrey Laurie's laundry. I don't I don't know if if they had just just his great buddies or great friends or whatever the case may be. But it is beyond reason. That Howie Roseman Is not taking any type of responsibility. It is without reason that Jeffrey Lori hasn't publicly at least pointed a finger at him. It is with outside of reason. That there's no responsibility taken. About a month ago. About two months ago, a month and a half ago, I sat right here on the air on CBS Sports Radio. And I said You know what? At the rate at which we're going Howie Roseman has made enough mistakes. Conduct. Peterson. You know it's Ah package deal potentially here. Both of them could be going out of Philadelphia. Never did. I think that Doug Peterson would be gone and there would not be a word about Howie Roseman. He is just going to keep this position for life or until he decides to hire a general manager. Which at that point, he will probably be resigned. So leaving all by him Damn self. Some people. It really doesn't matter how awful of a job you do. This really boils down to any job you could think of in America. There's always someone Kissing up, sucking up to the boss who doesn't awful job, a terrible job, but everybody else has to pay for it. And that's the case of what's going on here in Philadelphia. Howie Roseman is so entrenched He is so stuck Probably to the backside of Jeffrey Lori. That he doesn't have to take any accountability for the mistakes that he's made. This is the NFL. You guys thought you you? You did yourself Ah, service by winning the Super Bowl. Yeah. How about that was a one off. About Doug Peterson deserves credit for having to adjust his entire team or at least the offense. When Carson Wentz, who is now a head case went down with his injury. About Peterson deserves a lot of that credit and how he is well. But since then, or if you want to take a look at an overall if you want to take a look at the last 10 years, if you want to take a look at the last five years, Howie Roseman has been a disaster. He's missed out on talent. He's getting ready to go on to his third head coach and who points the finger at him. Nobody. That's where the owners should come into play. But I guess there's somewhere playing, you know, Scrabble right now. Doug Peterson. He's taking the blame. And he really shouldn't it goes above his head. At least he got paid. I'm gonna open up the phone lines 855 to 1 to four CBS That's 855 to 1 to four. CBS when you take a look at the Philadelphia Eagles. I don't know who's a bigger mess. If it's the Eagles if it's the Jets, I think the Texans are probably right. There is well Do you believe? That Doug Peterson is to blame. Do you think it's a matter of ownership? And Jeffrey? Lori, too? You think it is how he Roseman, who was at fault here in Philadelphia for why this team won a Super Bowl against the New England Patriots?

"Back to where healing begins Today we're talking about aging and its connection the hyperbaric oxygen therapy, so having discussed hyperbaric Oxygen therapy or H pot as they call it on some previous episodes of where healing begins. I understand that H but helps people recover from many medical conditions. And to further explain we have medical director Dr Christian Bogner joining us. Dr. Bonner, can you give us an overview on what the new revelations are coming out? Of Israel about aging and H pot. Yes. Thank you. So much for having us happy. New Year to all of you Do to your crew at W. J. R. I know you guys are working hard, and we appreciate the opportunity to share this information with you and your listeners. Right now, we actually appeared to be reaching a critical time and medicine, particularly and around self regenerative medicine on Dr Shave, Franti. It's involved with hyperbaric oxygen therapy in Israel, and his team is specifically focusing on Alzheimer's and anti aging. And about two months ago, they published a paper in the journal Aging and what they looked at was if hyperbaric oxygen therapy Which is involving breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized environment if that could reverse the effects off aging and patients that were over the age of 64. So what they did that place 35 off these patients and participants in the chamber. Every day for about 1.5 hours. Five times a week for three months. Now, here's where it gets very interesting, and I would love to come on to just expand into much more detail on this very discovery. But I want you to really picture this. You go into a chamber and you brief 100% oxygen, which is five times more concentrated oxygen that you're breathing right now And then you increase the pressure around you, which is equivalent to about 33 ft. Being underwater. So much that the oxygen dissolves in your plasma and tissues do not require, um Oxygen to be cared by red blood cells, So they're dissolved in the plasma. This way Theocracy, Jin reaches tissue up to four times deeper degree this and while relaxing in an almost euphoric environment like this Every cell gets this mega burst of oxygen all the way into the deep bone marrow. Now you do this for 60 days, and it's absolutely amazing for your body anyway, what they did, they asked two questions. The first question was, Did the therapy somehow effect our Edna and number two? Was there any benefits to old cells that lost the ability to divide? And interestingly, they found that the oxygen exposure did affected Nana. It restored the little tips off the DNI. We called telomeres in certain immune cells that measured that And then it lengthened them, and they restored them back to 20 to 30%, depending on which immune cells that looked at and this percentage to 20 to 30%. Generally, this amount gets lost over about 25 year life span when they calculated that this means that hyperbaric oxygen regenerated the cells, DNA's a closer to its original copy. The implications are longer abilities off the cells to divide and they are also more robust and in a more protective shape against free radical Edna damage. So wait you said the oxygen makes the telomeres longer. As much just so I had lost over 25 years. Wait a second. I want to look 25 years younger. So how does this work? How can oxygen really help that to reverse this process? Well, we all know that disease is most often the result of underlying information when you have inflammation. On a cellular level. It is about survival for ourselves, so there's a lot going on and so a lot can go wrong, too. But often it just takes a long time to heal. And you know you can have complications along the way. The repair process heavily depends and is powered by oxygen. Now, If you have inflammation, then they usually is a lot of swelling. Ah, lot of immune cells want to clean up so it's often hard for oxygen to reach areas that are really drowning and this swelling and leaving that area deprived of oxygen because of the swelling. This is where hyperbaric oxygen comes in. It will reach those areas because of the pressure that we use. And again, it's about the equivalent of being 33 ft. Underwater. It's a lot of pressure and your breathing 100% oxygen and remember, the oxygen does not need to be bound to a red blood cell. It just dissolves in your plasma, and this way it was shown. That it dissolves and reaches tissues four times deeper. So not only is the swelling really greatly reduced, but at the same time we reduce free radicals. And as we have discussed, these radicals shorten our telomeres. It literally makes the cell stronger and gives it about 25 more years of replicated potential. Interestingly different organs have different cells that again have different kind of cycle potentials. For example, muscle cell has much Stronger telomeres than a skin cell. So a telomeres kind of like a ruler with our life spans. And if I'm hearing you right then hyper barracks because of the telomeres will actually repair and tighten up my skin on a cellular level. Yes, Tammy. We actually knew for a little over a decade now that hyperbaric oxygen And increase circulating stem cells, which was shown at the University of Pennsylvania by Dr Tomb about 14 years ago in 2006, But the implications of this are so large. It is not surprising that the noble price and physiology and medicine last year went to three researchers from the United States in the United Kingdom. Discovered how cells sense and adapt to oxygen. We're just scratching the surface of this incredible regenerative.

And graduated from Wyoming Park High School in 2000 and two We love sports and hanging out with his friends, girlfriend and brothers. He joined the Marines after high school because he wanted to serve his country. This was his third tour of duty in Iraq. He always enjoyed his time on leave so he could spend time with his family and friends, and he looked forward to civilian life and going into business. Ross so many in his Marine Corps unit injured and killed. In Iraq and he had a tattoo made in their honor. He died on his third tour in Iraq and was three weeks away from his 22nd birthday. He was with the third Battalion, fifth Marine Regiment, Dark Horse, Second Marine Expeditionary Force. He was based out of Camp Pendleton, California. Died at the age of 21. I e.

He volunteered to go back for the third tours. Those were his brothers and who he considered family. He was doing to be honorably discharged only months before he was killed. I want to bring in Lucas Smith, his brother. Look, it's like I said, lives out in Hudson Valley's from West Michigan. Tell me about your brother for people who have never met him. What type of person was a well, first thing that comes to my head is he was a jokester and he was, you know, he was able to play around with everybody and sort of make everybody in the room, feel comfortable. Brother and I were very close. He was we were only 14 months apart. So we kind of grew up together. Little league. We went to high school together. I only graduated a year before he did, and we're just very close. Lucas tell me about your brother's mission to go fight for freedom. Why he wanted to enter the military. Yeah, he 9 11 hit. He was a junior in high school. He was very compelled. And, um, he wanted to join the military was kind of his calling, You know, from what he told me and Um, he signed up when he was 17 needed a parent's signature. And, you know, 18th birthday hit You graduate from high school, and he literally was gone three weeks later to Marine Corps boot camp and didn't look back. So do you remember that day when he when he told you that he wanted to join the military? I do. We're at dinner. It was him in my mother and father and he kind of just Let it out. And, you know, being a military background family with my father, having served my older brother having served we you know, he kind of he was he was excited to go. And now your family military. The country means a lot until the Smith family. Even with Ross's death of fighting for freedom. Well, where was that instilled by your father? You talk about your dad that he talked to you as you guys were growing up. You and your brothers he did. He never pushed us or, you know, said he would prefer us to join the military. He always decide it was our choice, and he would support our choice. Well, now Roscoe's to Camp Pendleton. He goes the basic training. What was the feedback at the time early in his military career? Here's Ross at 17. I mean, 17 year old kid. What were vibrant you feeling from Ross? He was excited. He was ready to go if you could have went when he was The day he thought of it, he would have went So he goes toe basic trade, and he gets said first tour of duty in combat, and they always say people change after they go to combat. Did you notice a change in Ross? That is one thing I will say about Ross. Um you know, he He came back, and he was still he still had the positive vibes. He still was the jokester. There was a little bit of Ah, blank stare at times, eh? So he definitely did change After that. I think those blank stares are you know it's your You're remembering what you've seen the horror of combat. He didn't talk much about it. After the first tour. He actually after his second tour opened up a little bit more and you know, had conversations with me and told me some of the stories and You know, jokingly told me about some of the things they did. He had lots of pictures, lots of videos, and, um, he was proud of what he did over there. And what has even it did over there when you guys have talks about combat after a second tour. As he died just before his third tour ended at the age of 21. But you know here's Ross. Now it went 1918 1920 talking about that second. Tour of duty in combat. What were those conversations like? Well, I could tell you that he wasn't so happy. So happy go lucky as he was before. Um, you could see a chicken hearted percent. I think the second tour sort of war on him. He lost a lot of good friends on that second tour. Um, you know, as you had mentioned about the tattoo, um and to him, those those guys that he served with where his family hills where his brothers and it was, it was hard on him. It really was. How many, Uh, Marine brothers. Did he lose from his unit? Um, now we're really close with him. Ah, good 45 and countless others that were injured that Marie, we're able to actually go back and serve anymore. And he talked about being and you know firefights and there. This was war. This isn't a This isn't a video game. This is war, right? Yeah. He actually was fortunate enough to be lto taken iPod with him on one of his tours and Took quite a few pictures and had some video and quite quite a bit of graphic video that obviously you're not gonna show everybody but you know, he showed to his close friends and family and a good as he's not changing, But just as war it wears on people who are there. None of us could ever understand it unless We were side by side with somebody in a firefight. But he keeps pushing and he goes. But did he have opportunities to get out of the military? Yeah, he was actually scheduled to get be honorably discharged in June of 2000 and six You're he died correct. His unit was up to go back. And you know he had the option because he was going to be getting out while they were overseas. Um, and you know he could have taken that six months. And just kind of laid back in California and come out by the beach for six months until he was discharged..
