So now what we're going to do is we're going to do the Q&A and just so you know, Q&A works like this. If you're here for the live stream, I take all your questions and answer them. It can go between five minutes and sometimes 40 minutes just depends on how many questions I get. And if you're watching the live stream, it'll be done right now. If you're watching the replay for the next hour or so, it'll probably be attached to this. But after that, we cut it and we put it into a separate video because it's an algorithm thing and that's what it is. So let's get into it. So comments, first one, the elephant in the room, which is pretty funny. Looks like Rob fell asleep in the sun with the blanket above his nose. So that's from the thumbnail. And I've gotten these ideas talking to the guys over at Coin Bureau. And they've given me some pretty good insights as far as like thumbnails and different things to actually push more so I can get more views and things like that. Because it's an algorithm. If you want to get more views, then here you go. So that's what we did.  So that's what's up. Let's see. What else we got? Rob, give us portfolio. Sure. So here we go. Let's see here. Where'd it go? Crypto. Where's that? So just so you know, I'm heavy Bitcoin Ethereum. It's a lot. It's like, I'm pretty sure it's over 75, 80% by now. And that's just because that's just how things worked out. I've gone down at least 50% of my portfolio, just like you. It is what it is. I'm here for the long run. Here's my portfolio, Bitcoin Ethereum, Cardano, remember Cardano is locked up into the stake pools. So I've got two of those. And if you want to delegate, links in the description. Voyager, Solana, Theta, Link, Mana, B-Chain, Dot, only because they gave it to me free. StormX. Who is this? Robert Liu from Sweatcoin is now following you. All right. Welcome, Robert Liu, to Sweatcoin. Stellar, Matic, Matic's a good one, Avalanche, Gensokishi, Multiverse, Fame, Everdome, Algorand, Ave, Sand, XRP, Uniswap, geez, I still got EOS. Oh, I should probably get rid of that at some point. I have some Tether, not that much. AdamDai, Celsius, Engine, Silo, Chili's, SPI, Nir, ZCash, Tezos, T Fuel, Swissborg, Iota, I do have AMP, AMP, Phantom, I sell Bitcoin Cash, not that much. Lupering, I didn't get rid of Lupering either, Jesus. What's this? Wrapped ETH, Synthetix, I don't know what NAS is, Dragon Chain, USDC, I still have some Luna because I couldn't get rid of it. Oh, and then there's Meld and World Mobile Token, but those are stakes, so I don't know if you can count those. That's my portfolio. But again, it's a lot of stuff, but again, mostly Bitcoin Ethereum.  Cockroaches of the sea. Good question. Rob, what was the first crypto brokerage used by Bitcoin? It was Coinbase, like everybody else. That's it. But Coinbase has come a long way. Remember when Coinbase is a crash, when somebody sneezed? Well, in the last big run-up of the big Luna problem, which I don't even like talking about that. It's just an awful situation. Did it go down? I didn't hear anything about it going down, so Coinbase is doing pretty good. As much as I would give a lot of guff to Brian Armstrong, smart guy, and he knows where things are going. When he talks about self-custody, he's like, okay, well, how can I be in front of that? That's why they're offering self-custody wallets. Ben Cowan, who's that? That's a kid. It's Ben from In The Curves. I agree with him. 90% cash at the moment. It's kind of high in cash, but alchemists, do they really want two men? I don't know about you. Let me ask you guys a question. Do you feel more comfortable with the majority of your cash in the crypto? I mean 90%, 95% all in crypto, especially with the volatility, or do you rest easier at night knowing that there's cash in your bank account? It's okay. There's going to be no Bitcoin max.  Just to be honest, do you feel more comfortable with cash in the bank? As opposed to having it all in alts and Bitcoin, I personally don't want to have all my money into crypto. I think that's, again, even Mike Novogratz came out yesterday and said, diversification of your assets, of your portfolio is a much better approach than putting a ton into, say, Luna, like he did. So just so you know, Charles Ken Cannon, that's a great name, Rob, based on eating dry powder, how to best approach DCA, not financial management. Yeah. So I'm going to show you what I do. Let me see here. Hey, oh, let's see. I'm going to, I'm going to shill Ben's website yet again. Oops. Sorry, I can't show you that. Hold on. Let me log in. Okay. So here's Ben's website. If you haven't signed up, it's pretty, I think he's having, he's having a sale right now. So I don't get paid a dime for it. So it's just app.intothecryptiverse.com. It's in my links in the description. So here's what I do. There's these things called risk levels. Okay. And proprietary thing that Ben came up with. And Ben's a smart guy. Nuclear physicist, nuclear something. And he comes out with these, with these risk levels and he talks about time into these risk levels and he talks about between, you know, how much time Bitcoin and crypto has been in these specific areas. And it's pretty, that's actually right here. You see time and risk bands. I can't show it to you, but between 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3, 0.4, when it starts to hit these levels, I start to dollar cost average a little bit more. So to answer your question in a better way, Charles, and not just give you some pie in the sky type of thing. So what I do is I dollar cost, I don't value cost average value cost averaging is taking a big, let's, let's say you have 10,000, it's okay, I'm going to take four lumps of $2,500 and put into Bitcoin at, I don't know, June 1st, August 1st, November 1st, and maybe even January 1st. I'm just going to, that's my value cost average. Or you can dollar cost average a little bit, because that's where I'm at right now. And every day I'm buying the same thing, which is Bitcoin Ethereum right now. So what I try to do is the money that I bring in, it's, it all depends on what you want to do. So like as those risk levels, like I've always talked about, as those risk levels, as the price starts to drop and the risk level goes down and down and down. Once we get to like 0.1 to 0.2, which I think we're almost there, is I actually start to increase the amount of money that I put into crypto that my Bitcoin Ethereum every single day. So if I'm spending a hundred bucks or a thousand bucks, then maybe on those days I'll spend a thousand and $200 or whatever else it is. Now there's the accumulating, accumulating, but here's the thing. This is super important for me. And I can't give you advice, not financial advisor. I know I got to keep saying that. But as those risk levels start to go up to 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, because I planted those seeds along the way, I was going to take profits and I'm getting better at this because I used to suck at it. So as I take profits, then I have this dry powder on the sidelines that I can use when it drops again. And guess what? It will drop again. So I can't give you like specific numbers, but that's just how it is. For me personally, it just depends on how much. And the number one rule, and even Mike talked about this yesterday, was never invest more than you can afford to lose because just kiss all that money goodbye that you're investing. It could be gone tomorrow. And I think when you have that mentality, you're like, OK, it could be gone. And I'm just here for three to five years. Nothing really matters. And that's why like when you guys see me and the market crashes, I'm like, I've already been here for five years. I don't really, I see where, I believe where things are going.  That's, to me, that's a recipe for disaster, just saying. And that's it. OK, Jackie. Jackie, you're on. I don't know, Rob, I have two Huskies I hang with. I may take on the challenge. If look, you know what we should do? We should do a challenge. Whoever can beat me, gosh, that'll be good. Let me know in the comments. If you beat me by in June for sweat coin, I will do something. I'm not going to jump in the pool. Don't ask me that. That's a special 100,000 Bitcoin occasion. But if you can beat me in sweat coin steps, because I watch every day, all day, if you can beat me, I'll do a, I'll do a poll and we'll see what I'll, I'll give the top three or whoever can do it. I doubt you're going to beat me. OK. Oh my God, tell us what you haven't got. So just so you know, when I read off that portfolio, just so you know, you realize that even as straight laced and straightforward as I am, I still make mistakes in my earlier years and I'm still paying for those mistakes for crypto. And I got to tell you, as time has gone on, I've realized that the tried and true methods, amazingly, are the ones that work out best for me. OK. Ah, good one. I have mine in USDC. And you know, like, and voyage, you get like 9% APY, I'm just saying. Shilling again, Rob. That's right. We all need to do more research, even me. I mean, as much as like, as long, the longer, the older that I get and the more that I'm in this space the more I realize how much I do not know. And I always will quote, quote Socrates, I know nothing. That's true. That is awesome. So is James. So a lot of people. C.T. Larson, great guys. Hashoshi. Simon Dixon. Name it. Those guys are great. I was going to invest. Rob is a decent investor. I am an OK investor. John Caller has got a good question. Celcius Network saw another drought down pending. Look, they took a big hit and rightfully so with that whole, the ability for credit investors and not allowing those in the United States. I think people didn't like that. They didn't stand up to the regulators. What are you going to do? So that was a problem. And I saw that the outflows and they, it's not for me. It's from Celcius. You can go to Celcius accounts on Twitter. Let's pull it up, huh? What's Rob talking about? I'll show you the outflows. Let me bring this up. Hey, hey, there it is. Celcius Networks. Oh, they follow me. How nice. Let's see. Five new coins. The heck is it? May 17th. No, it's a little warmer. Aha. So this is straight from Celcius. May 6th to May 12th. Here's the registrations. 12,019, first time, 2000 inflows, 396 million outflows, negative 1.15 billion. So that's not for me. Straight from Celcius. So if you're concerned about that, then you do what is best for you. Me personally, I'm not going to keep a ton of my crypto on any platform, any one platform. That's a recipe again for disaster. So even though the yield is nice, is it worth five, six percent? Just saying. But I will still keep someone Celcius. I like Alex and the mission that they do. So that's it.  I hear that all the time for my wife. And how beautiful are the golf courses? I don't play golf. Mullet does. And he's supposed to teach me some golf, but I hear they're awesome. But the whole island is awesome. You know what else is great about that island? Everybody's good looking and like in shape. It's amazing for Puerto Rico.  Anyhow, Celcius is solid. The market is not. That's very true. The OG Markey. Hey, Markey. Thank you. I appreciate it. Me and Markey go back. Great gal. That's a great question. So is Voyager ever going to have a desktop app? They should. You know what's concerning with me? It's just us. It's just me and you and a couple of thousand people. Is Celcius, I love Steve. I love what they're doing over there. But they're kind of like Cardano in some ways where it just takes a little bit more time to get things done. So that's a good thing as we see like the rug pulls for DeFi and the other stuff that I'm not gonna mention again. But it was amazing to me that FTX was able to start to give out to a select few customers in the United States the ability to trade equities or stocks on the FTX platform. That's something that Voyager and Market Rebellion have been working for for quite some time to get that done. I thought it would be done a little bit sooner but FTX began to be in the punch. I thought that was pretty interesting how that worked out. Just saying. The desktop app, same thing. You know, some people don't like using a mobile app. I don't like using my mobile phone all the time.  So I could use a desktop app. That'd be great. And then I can move things around out of squints and do different things. That'd be awesome. Also Europe to get them branched out after they picked up LGO, which was the French exchange. Now I had Steve on the show three weeks ago, somewhere around there. And he said that all these things that I just mentioned should be done by the end of this year. That's what they say. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon. So it is a thing, but I got time. Rudy says, UST back or not, I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. I'm gonna tell you why. I've been around, I've seen how these different projects, once the trust goes, it's really hard to get back. And you gotta have a super amazing community to get that going. I might've been okay for a theorem and a theorem classic, but will UST make it? And Luna Classic, I guess, or UST, the actual peg stable coin, which I now, as I understand it, the proposal, it's not gonna be algorithmic. It's gonna be pegged to like USDC and different things. Maybe, but I'm not gonna do it.  Stake and Ernest says, use a tablet if you hate using your phone.  It's thought it'd be great on a desktop. I got two, I don't have a tablet. I'm not gonna buy a tablet for that. Okay. So, hey Rob, coming to PRN of June, let's connect. We'll chat about a blockchain project. I think it'll be interesting. There's always a blockchain project out there. See, which leads me to my next point. Let me get this out of here. See that thing over there where Dan will never contact you? Besides the gentleman that just talked to me, I get 20 offers a day for different projects. 99.9% I don't talk about. And if you see something in the email or Discord or Telegram, it's not me.  Just so you know, that's what's up. Good question. Shola. Shola says, what's the safest stable at this point? I've always believed in USDC. I, not that I don't believe in UST, but they've been audited by a company out of the Virgin Islands, sure. And it said it was fully backed one-to-one with not just with FIAP or different assets. Okay, that's fine. But I've, you know, I took a look at the congressional hearing where Alastair, I've got his name, the CEO of USDC. And he said, we have 100% backed by all different types of assets for USDC. So you can, it's safe. And he'd give all the documents and all the paperwork to him and it was audited by someone here in the States. So I am, if I have to do anything, I'm gonna put in USDC. If I have to use UST or Tether, not Tether, not UST. If I have to use Tether, I will use Tether and I will get out of Tether. I have a little bit of Tether in my wallet that we just, I just did for my portfolio, but it ain't a lot. And to me, I just like USDC. Maybe cause I'm American, America. That's it. Rob, do you have any thoughts involved? I do not. You and James, the best channels. Yeah, I mean, depends on what you like. Like some people don't like this channel because it's not hype enough. It's not Hopium enough. It's not, we're releasing the bulls every day or whatever it is. I just don't, I just don't see it. I mean, if I got a good story, like the one that we talked about with that, what was it? Swiss Julius Baer, the Swiss company. Like I'll say, this is a pretty great story, but I gotta give it to you both sides because it's not, because it's exhausting to continuously get Hopium again and again in every single video. And then, you know, you're like, what happened to the market?  So you have to be balanced and you have to have your feet on the ground. Yeah, it's a shame. Clowns. Ah, give me Hopium, I'm an addict. You know what, it's, that's what brought me into the market. People would say, you know, Bitcoin's going to a million. This is in 2017. I believed him. I went a little bit too heavy. And then when I crashed, I'm like, what happened? Everybody told me it was going to a million. And that's when I really started to get the principles of the long-term plays and dollar cost averaging and things like that. Cause no one knows. No one has any. No one, people have an idea, but no one knows where this whole industry is going at what time, nobody. And they, I mean, they have some great theories, but I know some very smart people, those theories did not pan out. Yes, this is a great question. Hey, Rob, is there a bottom for Bitcoin that would surprise you? Below, it would surprise me, honestly, if we went below 15K. And that's a pretty conservative. It would actually even surprise me kinda if we went below 20K. Because 20K was the all-time high in 2017. I kinda feel like that's kinda like that base level. But like Ben's always talking about, there's a date with Destiny, the 200-week moving average. And once we hit that, you know, if it goes below there, watch out. So, but yeah, below 20 would surprise me and below 15K would shock me. Here's the next question I think you should be asking is Rob, would you continue to buy at those levels? And I thought about it. Let me show you a picture that explains exactly what I mean. Bring this up, hold on one second. I'm sure there are these things available to me. But this is what I mean. If it went at 20K, I'm gonna be buying a lot. And if it goes at 15K, I'm gonna be buying even more. And I'm gonna tell you why and this is, just remember this. I showed this before. This is how people think. This is how the new investor thinks. And I think that if you're here right now, you're not a crypto tourist because this is, if you look at the fear and greed index, I think we're at nine.  And if you're a pro, then this makes sense to you. Because this is how people look at things and go, this is how I value it. If the price is high, it has value. If the price is low, it has no value. And this is what I think we're all striving to go against. And that's the truth. So again, at 15K, I'm gonna be buying, I'll probably be doubling or tripling. One of those two of my dollar cost average every day. Just so you know. I think that's what I'm doing. I'm not telling you what to do. That's a good one. Buy fear and sell greed. Yeah, absolutely. Buy fear and sell greed. Well, it's like, what do they say? Blood in the streets or be greedy when others are fearful and fearful and other people are greedy. You know, for as much people, as much of the time that people say they hate warm buffet, they should have quoted them a lot in crypto. Just saying. Okay, here's a good one. If you use a ledger, when you decide to get out of a cold storage, does ledger have a wallet to use? Well, that is the wallet. They have a desktop app called Ledger Live. And if this is confusing, I get it because it gets confusing. Just go to danteagescrypto.com, just sign up, which is free. The only thing I ask that you do is if you, all the links in Danteages Crypto, they are affiliate links. And I talked about that in the very first video that you watch. So if you go there, the very first chapter, it's called The Basics. That's it. And then it continues on with safety and then investment strategies. So just take a look at that. Yeah, Liliana. So everybody thinks you're crazy until you make it.  So that's the same thing with me. That's why I have this channel. I have this channel for two reasons. First of all, I can't keep talking to my wife about it and my friends because they think I'm nuts because you're like, do you talk to anything else? And the second reason is because I'm pretty much retired from the things that I've, I mean, most of my companies just work pretty much on autopilot. I mean, the Amazon FBA is on auto, the sports facility, other people run that for me. The online education platform for nurses, that's just the videos recorded of me. So I don't really do much. And that's it. So I did this because it gives me purpose. And that's the big thing. Now we talked about this yesterday, actually. If you think that retirement is great, it's not, it sucks.  So make sure that before you retire, you figure out what is most important to you and do that thing. Okay, that's good questions. How many sweat coins you have? Well, I gave away like a hundred thousand or something like that for that Ukraine thing. So let's see. Switch coin. I have 5,700 steps today. That's a little bit lower than my 10,000. Just saying I will all hit that ring. I have 1,000, I have 963 sweat coins. So I didn't give, I didn't give away 1,000. So I already gave 1,000 the Ukraine thing. So yeah. Again, if you're late, just, oh, you're right. TORG's got a good point. Sweat coin is on the near protocol, not finance coin. You are correct. Thank you. Really struggling with finding purpose. Let me show you something. So in 2015, or 2014 and 15, I moved to Vegas when me and my wife split up. And there is no better place or worse place when you are single and lost Vegas. Two years there. And I figured out pretty quickly at that time, that's when I just started to just, I gave up working for a nationwide home health company for an intake coordinator, which was pretty fun. But I just started to focus on the real estate, the online businesses and just went from there and didn't have to do anything. It was, it got pretty, pretty, pretty hairy. So there's this, on my website, Dandy's Crypto. There's a blog post. I wrote this like two years ago. And it talks about that problem that I had. And there's a good quote here from Benjamin Franklin. Money will never make a man happy. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of filling a vacuum, it makes one. That's the truth. So this is the big thing. This is from Tony Sy or Shay from Zappos. And he says, the happiness frame of the three types of happiness. And this is where I was in Vegas. The rock star. Chase the next high. Whatever I was into at that point. A lot of stuff.  Then you find a little bit of passion, whatever that is. And then you really get into something, right? And then there's this higher purpose meaning. And this is, I think, if you can find this part, whatever motivates you, is it to help people? Is it to educate people? That's one of my things I like to do to try to give back as much as possible. Or is it just to create businesses or to create opportunities or to be that great father or mother for your kids? Or whatever it is. Or the thing is, to find this part here makes all this stuff negate. But the happiness and the time at the crossroads, this is fast and fleeting and it'll always make you feel a little bit worse. This makes you feel a little better. But again, to find the purpose, whatever that is. So that went off the road. That's the best way I can tell you. I found mine now. It's just, you gotta go with that process to find yours. All right. Oh yeah. See? This is a great one. Ruben says, I do construction like rebuilding houses, flip them through electrical and doing it for years. That's a great deal. Especially right now, probably killing it. Good for you, man. It's like therapy, doing physical work with that. And that's the thing. That's why we do that charity event for the obstacle course on our properties. We do it every year, twice a year. It's for underprivileged kids. Usually it goes to boys and girls club of El Paso. And all the proceeds go to that. Just a 1.6 mile obstacle course anybody can finish. And it goes your purpose.  Like in August, when I do it again, it'll be 100 degrees again. And I'll get to work out there again. But it's a labor of love. So like, yeah, type of thing. Sometimes it's one of those deals. Okay, unplug Zen's got a pretty good point here. And then I think after this, we're gonna take out. We're going for an hour. The problem is when Bitcoin is at 69K, most influencers saying it's going to 70, 80, 120K and when people buy at the price, they get dumped. Now the influencers are still asking to buy their structures in case. So here's the thing. And I was guilty of this too. But to be honest with you, I did a price prediction video. And I thought just by fractals and things that went on in the four year cycles, which I still think actually are intact. And I'll show you in a bit. I'll show you next video. But I was calling for Bitcoin at 150K. I thought it would go to 150K. I thought, and I thought Ethereum would go to 10K. Didn't work out like that. And I'm gonna, the price predictions, it's okay to predict a price. Like I can say Bitcoin's going to 250K. I just can't tell you when that is. I know that people will say, well, that's worthless, but it gives you some kind of a framework to think about. Just like when we talked about with this story, half a trillion dollar asset manager saying, hey, this will transform the financial sector over the next 10 years. So if I say that Bitcoin's going to 250K, maybe it takes 10 years, maybe it takes five, I don't know. But it gives you like that, lets you off the hook to not say like it has to happen now. Because that's when I'm gonna be a millionaire. I'm gonna retire. We never know when that is. So like I got caught up in that, I will not get caught up in that. And the other thing I'll never get caught up is telling to remind everybody, when we start to start to hit those parabolic, to remind everybody, look, nobody, everyone broke taking profits. I'm taking profits at this point and I will get made fun of.  But here's the thing. Whenever you sell, you're still wrong.  Didn't you know it's going to two? So it doesn't really matter. I think a lot of people wouldn't feel this pressure if they would have taken profits along the way and had dry powder on the sidelines. And I will never forget to say those things again, again, take profits. All right, everybody, that's it. This is an hour. So thanks for saying for the live stream. We're going to cut the Q and A. This will be a separate video, but you know that if you're watching the replay. That's it. If you like this video, give it a thumbs up. I'll consider subscribing, all the good stuff. Enjoy the weekend. Get out there. It's a beautiful day. I'll see you on the next one. Adios.


Consequences are not conclusions in our lives. Consequences often masquerade and shout loudly to us that they are conclusions, but they are not. Your life is not concluded because of a consequence that you are suffering, because of something that has happened in your life. Either happened to you or happened to someone else close to you, but the fallout of the consequence is affecting you. Consequences can be very real, very complicated, very painful. And I think too many humans assume, because the severity of the consequence, that it is really a conclusion on your life. And it's not. And I want to encourage you guys today to not allow any consequences you are experiencing to be mistaken for a conclusion. Do not give the consequence of that kind of power in your mind or in your heart. It is not.


Hey everyone, welcome to alchemy stars. We're gonna have a hundred-day review of my account. So what have I achieved? What have I been doing? What have I not been doing? So with out further ado, let's start with the bottom here. So we have here I'm gonna be starting with the old seal. So I already was able to get the this girl, Requim. I'm now in Regal just starting it out. So I'm still actually in the first level. So kind of slow progress, but definitely wanted Regal after I got Requim. Next would be my lineup. So I'm just gonna check out my lineup per element and let us see how am I doing. Let's go with Thunder first. Have roughly around 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Ascension 3 already. I actually regret I really regret taking Revi to Ascension 3 because I think I won't be able to use her kind of. So anyway, I'm good with this lineup already. I have Luke. Luke is a big help. I'm more because of the event. She's actually good burst damage as well. I have here Requim as I mentioned and now I'm trying to maximize Roy. I have him already at 5 star breakthrough. So he's going to be a fun Roryan to have especially for the heal. So I'm gonna be featuring him at max everything once I have him at 80. So watch out for that as well. So that is it. So the rest are at 50 at 2 Ascension mostly my converters, cross converters, including Florine. So Schwartz I'm tempted to take to level 80 but not at this point. Probably in the later parts I think. So the next element on our roster showcase is going to be water. So for water I have Fleur basically my first 80 Ascension 3 Roryan. Helped me a lot as well carrying the team while I was waiting for Azur. So Azur I have her at 80. I'm gonna be doing a full another showcase on her before her banner is up. I actually impressed with her kit and how versatile she is and she's I think top three for me right now in terms of what I have in my roster. So I have Carline as well at Ascension 3 but I actually post leveling her up. I also got Sharona a couple of I think a day after I got Azur. So Sharona a little bit late so I have to level her up as well but right after a couple of other Roryan. So again following the trend that level 50, level 2 Ascension for converters, cross converters and the like. Okay so we moved to Fire. So for Fire one of my main teams before so you have Charon at 80, Ascension 3, you have Sinsa it's only 2. My other plan for Fire for Ascension 3 and level 80 is going to be Victoria because of the healing because of the life steal. So if you could put down in the comment section below suggest who will I take for Fire next to Ascension 3 please put them down in the comments because I you know I'd like to hear from you guys but for now I'm looking at Victoria. This is my roster so again level 50 Ascension 2 for the rest and I still do have I still I actually got Jonah from another banner not her banner. Smoky as well. So Smoky I think needs a copy so I'm not really thinking about bringing her up to Ascension 3 at this point but she'll have to wait for a copy of herself before I put her up to Ascension 3 or Ascension 2. So but I really need a teleporter for Fire that is why I'm considering her as well. So this is it so far for my Fire team. And the last not the least is going to be my still my favorite team actually. They have Hero for Forest, you have Midgard, you have Aria for Ascension 3, Aria I have to put her up at Ascension at level 80 and the fourth one that I'm thinking of bringing up to up to what do you call this up to Ascension 3 is either OD or Narok Cell. So again also suggestions for Forest who am I going to take to Ascension 3 right after Aria for Forest. So this is my lineup guys. So so far I've been happy with this lineup. I still do lack a couple of heroes here or Arorians here. For Thunder I need Michael still. I don't have Michael yet. So priority is going to be Michael. For Water priority I'm getting Regal now. Probably Bethlehem or Bethel. So those are what I'm still looking for for Fire. Priority is going to be Noviu definitely. I'm looking for Noviu. Graham not so much although Banner is already there but I'm not really thinking of getting him. So so far Noviu for Fire I'm looking for and for Forest there are a lot of Forest Arorians that I'm still looking at. Nickinus is one, Paloma, Louise, Heady. There are a lot for Forest. So hopefully I'm going to get more reinforcements from Forest. So that's it before I was looking for Water but I'm almost you know good with Water. But for Fire I might consider pulling in a in a Elemental Banner or what I did last time with Water. So we'll see when that arrives. So that is it guys for what I have and what I need for my roster. So again please do give me suggestions on how to tweak who should I prioritize next and let us see put them down to the comment section below. So moving on to so we're done with Arorians. As for the Colossus I'm a bit I'm a bit already good with the Colossus. Nothing to level up but I still do have a few few spaces that I haven't leveled up yet including Exploration Workshop and Simulation Room and Starlight Chamber. So not really prioritizing them right now. So again I'm happy with what I've done with the Colossus. I'm already at 10,000 for my mood point. So definitely mission accomplished with that one. So back to our home. In terms of the story. So quest to explore. In terms of the story I am already done with, I'm already done. Basically done. I'm at episode 10. I'm done with episode 10 even before the 100th day. I am also done with Secret Territory. So as you can see here so I've been completing level 5 already even before day 100 and Spire I'm at all level 61. I'm taking my time here. I'm not really rushing. So all at level 61. Then also extra chapters. I already finished it so nothing to play anymore. More or less just grinding this, grinding resources every day. For Calamity Codex so we have Rank Results ready. Paragon. That was the last one. So right now I am at Listening Diamond. So I'm not really worried about the ranking up here. I'm happy with Listening Diamond already. Just want to get the rewards for this one. So far doing good but my only problem with this game is I really don't have much to do anymore. Aside from for example the current event that we have. I don't have anything to do including this one. The Desert Lottery. I'm done with the foremost rewards here. I'm actually going back already to get the other rewards going back. So again it's kind of boring already. I'm usually excited when an event comes but when an event is already done or has left already it's kind of bored me already. So again I'm looking forward to more events especially when the one year anniversary drops for the game. Just want to show you guys some proof of my progress. So logins so far as you can see I've claimed 100 days already. I actually have exceeded 100 days already. Probably 102 days already. So I'm at the 100 days three months playing and I'm kind of okay already. So hopefully the game especially for those who are in the same boat as I am having gone for already most of the content they have done except for let's go back to old seal. I haven't really done Elysium that much. I don't know if the rewards are commensurate to the effort that you put into these stages. It's only one star flare clearing these hard stages. So at this point I'm taking my time. I'm just leaving them alone. Hopefully they could decrease the rewards here for Elysium but other than that I am good with the rest of you know the content for this game. I'm just grinding it every day for resources so that you know when the next Aurora comes in next event comes in I'm already prepared to level them up. So that is it. So I don't know if you're ready at three months or 100 days. How far have you progressed? Put them down in the comment section below as well. Let me know how you're doing and hopefully you're in the same boat as I am but I'm really wishing for more content from the game because we are you know after three months of playing what is the player gonna do if there are no more content or you know if it's only going to be a the usual event no more new content even the story is has you know has stopped at chapter this is chapter 10. So what am I gonna do after this? So just grind resources but anyway I'm actually enjoying this game so much that I really enjoy the mechanic of the battle system the buff and debuff system and everything. So I'm looking forward to the first year anniversary so I wasn't there for the six month anniversary celebration because I wasn't playing it last December I played it last January so hopefully I'm I'm actually pumped for the first year anniversary to be joining that event so anyway guys thank you very much for staying this far so hopefully you could help my channel by subscribing and again please give me your thoughts so that we can discuss thank you very much guys stay safe take care this is The Warden and I'm out of here.


Hello everybody and welcome. Can you hear me? Okay. And can you see the screen? Beautiful. I'm seeing some acknowledgment. So yeah, okay. Good afternoon. Welcome to DrupalGov 2020. My name is Toby Bellwood. I'm the Product Lead at AMAZI.io and I'm going to talk to you very quickly. For those that know me, talking in 20 minutes is going to be a struggle. About Lagoon Insights and these are some features that we've put together as part of the Lagoon platform to help you manage large and smaller site portfolios. So for those that don't know, a quick overview of AMAZI.io. So we offer enterprise-grade, secure, scalable, open source container hosting. We work with a lot of large organizations all around the world. Obviously you've got CMS and DPC here in Australia, but a number of pharmaceutical, finance, media, communications, and financial businesses all around the world. And we provide flexible container-based hosting along with a team that's located all across the planet. So I won't say 24-7. We do provide 24-7 support, but there's always someone working somewhere. And we've got our, what underpins our platform is a tool called Lagoon. And Lagoon is a developer-friendly, cloud-native application delivery platform for Kubernetes. So we've built this platform to bring your web applications to production as easily as possible. We've really looked at it from a web developer point of view. So trying to minimize the amount of code, the amount of technology that developers need to learn in order to make their sites go live. So we'll provide a lot of the configuration, a lot of the settings, etc. So Lagoon Insights came about over the last sort of year or so. We've obviously got CMS as a large customer, hundreds of sites. We've got a few other customers who are running those sort of hundreds of sites. We've got a couple of other customers who have got sort of dozens of sites and a few that are managing sites on behalf of other people. And what we've really found with a number of the other providers is that it's quite hard to get an overview of where your whole, you know, sort of where the state is at, as such, to find out what are the individual details on sites. Certainly, when I was at GovCMS, I had a encyclopedic knowledge of the 80 sites that we managed. Now it's at 300 and something plus. I think I'd be struggling. But we're all about building tools to make that easier for people. So what I'll do today is I'll go through what Lagoon Insights are, how we implement them in Lagoon, where we can get the data for these insights, how you can utilize these insights. I've said live demo. Technically, I'm clicking through some screens, but it'll look just like a live demo. And we'll talk about how we're going to make changes and improvements to insights over the coming months. So we've got these three separate, but sort of interrelated tools. One of them is called metadata, the metadata subsystem. And at this point, the metadata subsystem was developed by the team at Salsa Digital, our partners in delivering GovCMS. And this is, it's a really, really cool way of managing metadata and annotations at the project layer. So for every project in a Lagoon instance, you can add this annotation, you can add this metadata so that you can help find, sort and the source, the individual project. So for GovCMS, they can mark sites as being SASS or PASS, Drupal 7 or Drupal 8. Some of our other customers have got different maintenance obligations. They can add those annotations to the individual projects. And then they can use external tools, AWX or Ansible. They can use to show me, okay, which sites are under proactive maintenance, which are reactive, which are SASS, which are PASS. You can add almost anything to those, to that metadata. Facts and problems. These two tools were built and developed by our partners at AMAZ Labs, sort of the other, one of the other AMAZ group organizations. And these are, they're not quite as free as the metadata subsystem. The fact subsystem is a repository of information about what's running in your particular environments. And as we go through the example, you'll see what that means. But automatically working out Drupal module versions, Drupal versions, PHP versions, a number of other things and problems is a dynamic repository of issues with those environments that can be discovered automatically. And we'll talk a little bit about where we get the sources of that problem data from. So we've built the problems as well, we've built into our notification system. So if you've got a fairly serious problem, critical problems, or you can set thresholds, you can get notifications when one of these things occurs. So how we implement it in Lagoon. Lagoon is obviously based off of GraphQL API. That's fantastic and easy for those of us to know how to use GraphQL. We've got a UI interface for facts and problems. I'll show you through that. We connect through webhooks to get the source for some of our problems. We've got a CLI tool that we can use to add and populate some of those facts and metadata. And we've not done anything in the problem space yet, but the CLI will come along. So that's sort of how you access those individual tools. The problem system has got two real sources of data at the moment. The first one is from Harbour. Harbour is a Docker registry. Docker registries obviously have hit the news in the last couple of weeks because of their rate limiting decisions. Each Lagoon instance is capable of running an inbuilt register for all those Docker images. So every time you build your own site, the site will push up the image to a Docker registry. In our case, it's Harbour. And our Harbour is installed along with a scanner called Trivi. Both Harbour and Trivi are open source. And Trivi will perform a full vulnerability scan on that image. And by a full scan, I mean it's scanning the operating system layer. So the actual Linux installed in the container, it'll scan PHP, it'll scan Drupal. And if you've got themes, it'll scan the node packages inside your theme. And it'll collect all of this data, it'll run it against all of their databases. And if there's issues with it, if there's CVEs or problems, it will pass those back to Lagoon. Lagoon will add those to the problems database. And then it'll add those to the individual projects. And depending how you've got it set up, you'll be able to view each project's own vulnerabilities from Harbour. One of the other integrations is a tool called Drutini. Drutini is a remote scanning tool for Drupal sites. It can access the Drupal site and it can run through a series of policies and profiles to check the audit, check a site against a predefined set of audit conditions. So GovCMS uses this, a couple of other customers use it, and they say what modules should be enabled in Prod, what shouldn't be enabled in Prod, what settings should be set, what shouldn't be set. Drutini will run that check or that policy or that profile against an individual site. And then Drutini is being configured to send that payload, again through to Lagoon. Lagoon will surface that through the problems database. And if there's a severity threshold met, consent and notification to a user. So if someone has enabled the stats module or the DB log module in Prod, the person who's responsible for that site can find out straight away and so can go and action a kind of remediation for that. So obviously talked about problems, talked about facts. We use that trivy scan via the webhook. Drutini comes via a webhook. Facts, we've got two ways of populating those facts. In these facts, it's important that these facts broadly should be computed. So we should be running a tool that can calculate that fact. So the fact isn't as manipulatable as the metadata. We've got AWX and Ansible tasks currently for calculating those facts. But one of the things we're working on is a post-rollout step. So every time you deploy your site, your site goes through and does this quick check and says, what version drew, pulled am I running? What version PHP? Is there anything else I need to calculate and need to put back to the project? And the metadata is added either via GraphQL or CLI. So because the metadata is more flexible, it doesn't have the same kind of calculable source that the facts do. So I'll run through my screen cap so quickly it looks like I'm doing a live demo. So for those that use Lagoon currently, this is the UI. This is the main screen. This is what you'll see day to day. So what I'll go through is I'll go through a couple of branches. Our main site, if I click here, it looks like I've gone to the main page. Our main site was deployed on the 13th of October. We can see it's fairly standard, it's set up. And I can go through and I can have a look at these problems and these facts for this site. So under my problems, I see I've got this list of problems with my site. I've got 42 problems. I think I joked on Twitter that I don't have 99 problems, but it was really tempting to try and load up my site with lots of bad modules and bad decisions to get myself to 99 problems just so I could crack a funny joke on Twitter, but that seemed like a lot of effort. So we've got these problems. We've got these no criticals, thankfully, but we've got 17 high, 7 mediums and 3 lows. So if we have a bit of a look at this list, we can sort of say, well, one of these problems here, we've got this CVE 2020, 1366. And that comes from Drupal Core. So Drupal Core has a security advisory on this CVE. So at this point, Harba's gone in, passed the image to Trivi, Trivi scanned it and said, hey, you're running Drupal 901. Did you know that there's a security advisory for Core out for that one? And you really should be upgrading to version 906 or above.  So we can see straight away 901, the severity mapping between Trivi, the data source for Trivi, Trivi and Lagoon doesn't come through quite as well for Drupal as we'd like it to. And that's why 3 plus 7 plus 17 is 27, 42 is 15. So there's 15 problems in here that have an unknown severity. Now, we know that this one is moderately critical because we've seen the Drupal security advisory. A couple of other things that this scan has also picked up.  It's picked up some other things. So if I do a quick search, I can see that there's a curl of vulnerability here. So there's a password prepended problem that's actually got a proper severity because it links to an external CVE. So I can see there's a problem with that curl image. So I'm going to have a look and see what I can do to fix this Drupal and this curl issue. I can have a quick look and see my facts, see what my last computed state of my site was. So I can see, indeed, I've got a whole sway of the Drupal modules here that are running at 901. Now, these are all the built-in core modules. If I do a quick search on version, I can see that I've also got a check there that will do a Drush status to tell me what version of Drupal I'm running and, yes, 901. I'm running 1030 of Drush. And I'm running 7410 of PHP. So I know there's a new PHP version out as well. The old version wasn't insecure. So the problem that didn't tell me that I had an insecure version, but that's something that I know. Ideally, a future way would be to link that fact to a problem to say, hey, there's a PHP update available. You might want to think about that. I can also see non-core modules. Now, this is a really basic site. There's only one contrib module in there, and that's our Lagoon logs module. But again, I can see that that's running at 8x1.1. So I can collect these facts for all my environments and bring them all into one place to manage centrally. So I've got this piece of information. I've been told, Drupal example 2, it's not good enough. It's got an old version of Drupal. There's vulnerabilities. You need to go and fix this. So I'll make sure it all works. So I'll go to my test environment first. So I've made a heap of changes in my test branch. I've pushed my test branch. You can see it was deployed on the 4th of November. So what I can do now is go through my test branch and see, well, first of all, did that upgrade work. So we can see in the facts that my Drupal modules are now at 9.07. We can see that my Drupal version 9.07. We can see my PHP version is now 7.4.11. So upgrading my site has also pulled in the latest version of PHP from our upstream images. So we'll get the benefits of having a later version of PHP. And there may be some other benefits to pulling in a fresher version of those images. Okay. So I'm comfortable that I've got that new version of Drupal. My updates worked. The deployments worked. Let's check those problems. And hopefully, we'll see no Drupal problems in there. We can certainly see that the number of problems has dropped from 42 down to 16. So not only have we addressed all those Drupal problems, we've picked up a few other ones and solved a few other ones as well. So we can see the ones that left Freetype, Audegaruma, URL, Regex. So these are all things that have come from the base Linux. So these modules have either been installed as part of Alpine or they've been installed as part of the modules that we install for to run PHP in our individual base images. I remember I had a curl issue. So if I go back to my curl issue, I could see if that... Yep. Indeed, the latest version of that image has now fixed my curl issue. So no longer do I have that curl vulnerability to worry about. So my image update has really pushed through a whole heap of fixes. If I know exactly what I'm trying to target and I've got control over my images, I can also address those individual vulnerabilities. So if we'd installed a particular extension or a module ourselves, we could install a specific version just to mix that individual critical issue. So looking at these insights, obviously the problems, we've got this notification, the UI. Me as a non-technical user, as a project manager, or a junior developer, or someone that just likes poking around in UIs, can go through and see exactly what the site looks like. I don't need to SSH and I don't need to log into a site. I don't need someone to generate a report for me. Those of us that are developers are going to find this horrific that someone can actually see that much of your site information exposed there, but trust me, it's a good thing. We're working on an aggregated view. So if you've got access to 20 sites, being able to view an aggregated stream of those problems is going to be really handy. You can see where your Drupal vulnerability is, which of your sites have that curl problem, which of them could potentially be fixed just by redeploying and pulling in a fresh image. Facts give us this mechanism for querying the state. So again, we can look at those facts. We can look and see who's running Drupal 906, who's running version 1.2 of the C-Tools module, who's running Drash8 still. This can change deployment by deployment. And generally, the teams that are looking after the sites aren't necessarily the teams that are deploying the sites. So individual development teams will be continuously deploying. So the team responsible for site reliability engineering may not have day-to-day view of what goes on in the individual sites, but this gives you a way of being able to see across the whole breadth of your holding exactly where everything is at. And the metadata. The metadata is really handy for being able to drive some of that reporting, building those inventories and doing that kind of audit across multiple sites. So I've given a bit of an oversight into the vulnerability and the audit side of things. We're really keen to start working on sort of profiling and analytics as a source of problems and facts, being able to identify slow loading sites, being able to identify sites that are attracting additional traffic. And also from an observability point of view, being able to put some metrics behind site performance. So if we've got a site that's got good uptime, that's got good deployments, it's generally healthy. Being able to put those kind of measures against projects. So at a glance, you can see what are your healthy sites, what are your unhealthy sites. As a team managing 100 properties, you've got to work out where to target your energy. We're going to work a little bit on permission levels, how to manage those problems from a top layer. From our point of view as AMAZIO, we know that if there's a problem in one of our base images, we want to be able to rectify it and we want to be able to let everyone else know that we're in the process of rectifying that. So we can acknowledge some things at the platform level and say, the next release will fix this up for you. So that was a really quick overview. I think I've done pretty well to get there in 20 minutes. If you want some more information, come visit our booth. Most of us in the AMAZIO booth all day, more than happy to do demos. Find us on social, we're in all the usual places, send us an email, hello at AMAZIO. But also check out our blog, we've got a blog on our website and we're trying to really post more information that gives more insight into these things for all of you. So I think my clock says five seconds, so that must be time for me to wrap up. Thanks all for coming. I've just been sent a message saying I can keep going over time, the session won't end.


I'm more of a voice one guy for all of the channels except for the clean I like the like with it I like it with it on and it's very comfortable under the fingers you know it reminds me of my first HT but like pumped up
