Now, let's go to some objections. What are the objections we get? What are the top three objections you get in your industry? If I was going to work for you today, I was going to work for you and say, Andy, you've got to be good at these three. I'm going to hit Brett with an objection. You guys ready? Okay, so here's my goal. So I'm just, by the way, you guys see all these deals? I'm going to tell you guys, they're all the same. They're all the same. Everything's the same. It's all handled the same way. Maybe a few different words, but they're all handled the same. Now, let's go to some objections. What are the objections we get? Okay, we got rate. What else we got? We got thing. What else we got? Payment. That's easy. We got wife. What else we got? CPA. What else we got? Shop around. Can't afford it. Can't afford it. Okay, so can't afford. Okay, inventory. Okay, now listen to me. I'm going to move around the room. Is that cool? I was sitting here and I was talking to a guy and he came up here, right? Where's my guy? He said he was in... Oh, right there. My guy. Here, come here. Let's start with you real quick because I like a guy that's got a chip on his shoulder, right? So he ran up here. He was like, he was like, hey, he's like, I know how to handle this. I want to handle this, right? So I want to give him an opportunity. Does that make sense? And then I'm going to pivot. Okay, all right, what's your name? Brett. Okay, so Brett, you're in what industry? I am. I'm in the movie industry. You're in the movie industry. Okay. And by the way, Brett, what are the top three objections you get in your industry? If I was going to work for you today and I was going to work for you, you'd say, Andy, you got to be good at these three. Oh, yeah, it's always going to be Bryce. It's going to be I need to talk the example before to my wife. Talk to the wife? Okay. Okay. I'm getting other quotes. Okay, cool. You ready? Is it Brett? It is Brett. Okay, here we go. It's Amy, right? Yep. I'm going to hit Brett with an objection. You guys ready? Here we go. So it says, hey, Brett, I really appreciate you giving me all the information. Okay, you're the first company that I called out to. So I'm going to get a couple more estimates. I'm going to get back with you. Go. That sounds good. Anyway, I always respect that if you're going out and getting those estimates. But right now today, how do you feel about the things that we've done? We've gone through the pretty good diligence of walking to home, identifying quite frankly, your wife's hot buttons, your hot buttons, how are we going to care for your goods? How are we going to care for your home? And making sure that it's the most protected and we provide you and deliver you the best moving experience possible. So with that being said, are you feeling good about the quality of service that we're just talking about? Okay. All right. Everybody do me a favor. Okay. Everybody write this down. Ask great questions, get great answers. So I'm going to tell you what I would do. Number one, I like what he did. Obviously he's very good at what he does, but I want you to understand something. I would ask you a question because when somebody says I'm going to get a couple more estimates, I want to understand and like what perspective, like you're trying to save money or like you want to make sure that you're getting the most that you can get for your money because there's two different ways to look at it. Right? Does everybody understand? Okay. So what would I ask? Hey, number one, I totally understand. Okay. Let me ask you a question. Hypothetically, am I ever say hypothetically? It's a very powerful word. Say hypothetically. Let's say you already called every company. Okay. Some of the prices were a little cheaper, but they didn't cover the benefits and the liability as much on the moving. And then someone were a little more money, but they made sure that ensured that everything was going to get here safe. Would it be worth to spend a little more money or is this going to be like a money issue? Just shoot me straight because, hey, I might even be able to refer you to a cheaper company that has lower liability. Okay. And what am I doing? Hey guys, we'll get back to the video in a sec. If you're watching this video because you want to level up in life and business, then one thing you got to do is optimize your sleep.

Thanks to Hostage Tape for sponsoring this video. Now let's get back to the show. I'm framing him to decide, hey listen to me, is it is the juice worth the squeeze to buckle down and spend more money if I can't find the right place? Or am I actually looking for something cheaper? Because listen, if you get off the phone and somebody is cheaper, you know they're going to go with them, but the only reason why they went with them is because they were cheaper. So what is our goal as a closer to create certainty and create uncertainty? What I want to create is that when you get off the phone with me, there is always going to be a company that's cheaper. Now what I'll tell you is some nightmare stories. When's the last time you moved, Bob? When's the last time you moved? He's like, last time I moved was, you know, seven years ago. I can say, man, I can tell you this. Moving companies, 99% of them, they have low liability. They have people that aren't, they're not federally background checked, that are actually moving your stuff, that go into your home and they transform. We do things a little bit different. It's the age of transparency. We do what our customers have asked us to do. They want to make sure when somebody is going into their home, when they're moving the things that are, you know, sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars in value, we want to make sure that we get them from point A to point B super easy, nothing broken. We actually put them back into the new home perfectly or into the storage place where you guys don't have to worry about anything in peace of mind. Okay. There's not a lot of companies that you can count on that with. Now listen, these cheaper companies, they use cheaper people that do cheaper, cheaper labor costs. They use cheaper trucks and their liability is not as high. To me, that's a little bit scary. When we're talking about $2,000, $3,000, $5,000, $10,000 for moving expenses and we're talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars in furniture. If something breaks and the liability don't cover, basically the whole move was a waste. What would it be worth if I could guarantee and ensure that you guys could get your property from A to B? We would be there on time. It would be done the exact way you want to do it. Matter of fact, we would ruin the value of money for you. All the things that you care about that you want to get taken care of, not only when we supersede that, but also we do it as a very fair price. Look, there's a lot of fly-by-night moving companies and they come up and they go down. They come up and they go down. Our company's been in business for 17 years. We care. Our number one goal is we don't want your business. We just want to out-care the competition and we want to move your furniture like we'd want our furniture moved. Okay. Now, if I can ensure and I can provide all of this, would you still need to continue in shop knowing that a person's going to ask, what price am I going to beat? And they're going to try to beat it by a couple hundred bucks and you're going to use them and they can't provide the same commitment to you. In a world where there's a shortage of commitment, I'm going to reach out and over the phone, I'm going to give you an ironclad handshake and I'm going to tell you that I'm going to do exactly what you want to do and I would go back into the same clothes again. This person doesn't exist in the world anymore. They don't exist. Nobody cares anymore.  Slickmouth salesman or broke?  You know what they need? They need this. So, I always tell people, I say, hey, listen, do you know why I got in the moving industry? I'm going to tell you why. Because I actually had something moved and I was so heartbroken and I was so torn apart and it was the biggest fight that me and my wife had that we decided that thousands of other people across the country had to be going to the same kind of suffering that we went through on that moving trip. So, you know what we did? We decided to open a moving company because you know what we know? We know businesses succeed when they solve problems that most people can't solve. So, we decided in a world full of amateurs in moving companies that open up and shut down three years later, we would open the greatest moving company that ever existed that cared about the client more than they cared about money. And that's why today I'm in the moving company. You think that closed them? Doesn't work. People don't do it anymore. You know why? Because they're lazy. They're amateurs. They don't know how to talk. Guys, are you guys public speakers? Is everybody in this room speak for a living?  Every one of you. Whether you talk to 10,000 people or one, you guys all speak for a living. You know what I know? I talked to a lot of you guys and a lot of you, you actually try to say stuff before I've even finished saying what I'm going to say. It's like you only want to hear what you have to say that's in your in your head. That's the worst thing a salesman can do. I always want to let a customer finish the sentence because I may go left and I thought I was going to go right but I may go left by the time they finish. Listen, we're in an error right now that people want stuff right now. So, we got to move like super quick. Listen to me. Slow down, man. You know that old saying, your customers will tell you how to sell them? They will tell you how to sell them. But also, what if I told you that customers need to be told how to think? Your job is to tell the clients how to think. Listen to me. If money's your biggest concern, if it is, if money's your biggest concern, what am I doing? I'm framing you. If money's your biggest concern, the last thing you want to do is spend less money and go with the company with the low liability, have something move here, end up spending 10, $15,000 on broken furniture that's not covered. If money's your biggest concern, don't you agree the juice is worth a squeeze to spend a little more money and guarantee that the liability is there. So, in the event of the move, if something was to break, it is all paid for and it will be replaced and there's nothing to worry about, wouldn't that be worth it? If money's your biggest concern, spending a little more money now so you can save money on the back end is totally worth it. Especially as expensive it is to replace stuff nowadays. I'm framing them if money's their biggest concern. Spending more money now is actually saving the money. Spending more money now is actually the way to go. Am I telling them how to think? Yes, I am.  All people want to do is be talked to how you like to talk to yourself. You know how you like to be talked to? That's how people want to be talked to. Guys, when you do business with somebody, do you want somebody to believe in themselves? You know what I know? A lot of people don't believe in themselves nowadays. They really don't believe in themselves. And you know how I know? Have you ever talked to somebody and only looking in the eyes? Like just go and talk to anybody today.  You know why? Because I can see that they're looking for what to say next. I can see it in their eyes. People have no idea how to have a conversation with anybody anymore. People genuinely don't know how... Do you guys get how you guys are going to crush everybody? Become the realest son of a b**** that ever lived. That's it.


Video outs. Egal. Okay, it doesn't matter. That's the perfect start of the show. Welcome to this final event of the Chaos Communication Come 2015. So glad to see you all here in this final event.  It was an excellent adventure. Excellent work had been done. Excellent parties have been partied. Excellent hacks have been hacked. But above all, I feel like an excellent conduct was displayed. I cannot put in words how incredibly I appreciate the way that people have been treating each other. So many people approached me and told me that they've been having an incredible time also because of their feeling so respected and everybody was so supporters and helpful. Some people even said they've never felt so safe and secure ever before. A feeling that I can confirm and I think something that we as a community can be incredible or proud of. So thank you for being so excellent. It's so nice to see these smiling faces, tired smiling faces, but still smiling. And you know these kind of stories, I have brought a bunch of colleagues here for example, they were here for the first time and they said just exactly the same things that they were so amazed how friendly and helpful everybody is and one of our friends from the Chaos Computer Club Berlin while doing a podcast summarized this whole feeling like with this quote that I translated to English for you, you know. If you forget your notebook outside of your tent, it won't be gone the next morning, but instead somebody puts a power supply on it so it wouldn't turn off and you know and that really applies to a lot of aspects of this camp. There was even another fun little story where apparently somebody found a white box without a label just a cable sticking out and he didn't know what it was. So he took it, he took it apart, he downloaded the firmware from the device and figured out by reading the firmware code that it's from the CCC Berlin and returned it, you know. This is just Yeah, speaking of lost and found. Don't forget that there is a lost and found. Check out the wiki. I went through the list today and it's pretty huge already. A lot of people lost things. A lot of people have found things among those an egg boiler. So check your egg boiler boxes. Maybe you forget. Who brings an egg boiler to a camp? However, if you're missing it, somebody found it and if you find another egg boiler that is abandoned, bring it to the info desk. So people can put it in the wiki and also check there are a lot of wallets, sunglasses and also smartphones. Yes. Check that out. Of course, we have to talk about the event from the camp that got us all shaking in our boots. We got frightened, we got scared, we ran through the rain, you know. Thunderbolt, enlightening, very, very... Well. You know To be fair, I was standing under one of those bartends and it was raining and it was it was kind of scary a little bit especially when there's one lightning struck close by and then the angels came and wanted to evacuate us and everybody was like But I'm holding my beer and it's wet outside and I'm really sorry to all the angels that had to fight these kind of people including me.  We run. We got super wet and then the rain stopped. It was great. But of course one person, you've seen the picture all, one person didn't really follow maybe evacuation procedures. Yeah, so the entire Thunderstrike had something good about it. It also had something good because I was hiding under a tent with several other people and then we were... Then I was trapped with six nerds and a physicist and a T4VW and I feel like this entire Thunderstrike was a big hour of all the physicists on this campsite because so many people told me that the same thing happened to them. They were trapped with the physicists and for one hour, they got a lightning, lightning, lightning talk about how to avoid lightning, lightning struck by lightning. Little steps. Yeah, I mean, that was definitely one of the highlights, but there were many many other highlights in this whole festival, I would even call it and we call that like our little personal collection, right?  I mean there have been many many more and sorry for those we can't feature, but this is just a small selection. One of my personal highlights was when I was standing in this little birch forest with the disco ball and then we admired the lights and everything and then suddenly we heard this really really weird sound coming and we explored and tried to figure out what it was. If you haven't seen it, I hope you can see it now. The Tesla coil making Super Mario! Ah, that was just really, I've seen the slides for the talk and I thought like and I checked actually the slides because I couldn't go to the talk and there was only YouTube video so I was already kind of disappointed. Okay, he doesn't bring his Tesla coil or she or whoever, but yeah, that was really amazing. So this is my favorite what the heck moment. Who has seen this little tragedy? After the thunderstorm. So I passed this pathway and I saw 30 nerds and they're like giggling and I saw the power cut so it actually was a floodlight. I tried to expand the floodlight and the power cord was in a little puddle and there was smoke or steam coming up and they told everybody who was going next to it barefoot like oh watch out watch out watch out. We don't know what happened. Later I found out that the floodlight was powered by a battery and after five minutes some guy came and refilled the dry ice in the puddle. That was really, there are few installations, I mean there are many installations that represent the word Nord but this was really one of my favorites in this regard. Really nice. Another highlight I mentioned in the opening section just by browsing through the self-organized sessions, right? I mentioned these building model rockets for kids and I'm really sorry to the people if they're in the audience now because I read a tweet that like a bunch of like 100 kids or something showed up and wanted to build these rockets and I didn't have enough supplies. But in the end they made it and I went actually at 11 in the morning I went to a field outside of the camp to watch like the families with their kids like whole families going there. The kids super excited. Building these rockets right and then if you haven't seen it here's one rocket launch for you and that was just you know all these kids smiling that was also really cool. Yeah the liquid dream of every matter. There's nothing really left to say, right? Yeah really. Apart from I would rather see this than all these electric bikes now in the city like I would, that would be terrific. Oh and hey, camp is not only about automotor sport, it's also about love. There was a total of one marriage proposal that was also successful. So congratulations. Next up we want to just go there through it a little short right but this was also just so great. I was sitting on the beach one day then suddenly somebody on a little boat shouted towards the beach. Hey everybody silent we're doing lightning talks here and if you can't if you can't read German the sign basically says you have five minutes. If you do overtime or your subjects thinks the audience that was floating around the boat in the water can flip you over. I didn't witness anybody being flipped so they must have been good but I thought like this is exactly the mindset that I was talking about in the opening like tense to warm we want to do lightning talks why not go to the lake. Very nice and then we have one more highlight from the search basically this gentleman with the blurred face holding the wine bottle he lost his iPhone in the marina. And our search team is not only you know helping people that injured their feet or their head or whatever they heard they heard a lot of stuff. They also have a well equipped scuba diving team that went one meter eighty down they got the iPhone and according to Fiona. Yeah it was disassembled dried reassembled and it works. So I have the honor to go back to the entire organizational stuff so you've probably noticed we started dismantling the campsite and we need every single helping hand. So if you're planning to stay longer please help us out go to the heaven especially right now the most urgent thing to do is taking out the chairs and table in case your village that borrowed some. Please clean them a little bit and put them back to the nearest workshop tent if you didn't borrow any tables or chairs please help out at the workshop tents. Tomorrow it will be best if you move your tent towards the crew and angel area because all the volunteers that brought us internet power and water are taking this back again. So taking this away except in the crew and angel area so please move there and help us out. And the easiest way to start getting help getting getting started started helping out is basically when we are all done with this. You take the chair that you're sitting on and take it outside there will be angels I hope like getting helping you putting the chairs on pallets because this tent has to be cleaned out pretty quickly. So that would be your first kind of you know task that everybody can contribute and we will we will be very thankful for that. Oh no correction correction. Oh yeah the other people didn't know about the Fabinda's. Oh the Fabinda's. Oh the Fabinda's so okay we'll figure this out wait until maybe a few minutes apparently these chairs are connected so if you take one out you take them all out so might not might not be good might not be good. So let's focus on more important things for the after party. The Fabinda's go of easy. We'll figure this out afterwards all right all right. Okay they have to stay. I said the after party there will be a huge after party tonight at the market square we are very much looking forward to see every one of you there. Yes. And if you have been here for a long time maybe even came before the camp started I mean this is the optimal chance to really celebrate this whole festival and I am sure the after party will you know fulfill the expectations of tearing down this beautiful festival. And now you already trained a little bit you know and it's part of every one of those closing events of course you know what's coming and you exercise pretty well already. But we decided you know this time we do it a little bit differently because all these past years when we were about to thank everybody that contributed to this great event. We almost in all cases forgot somebody and they were really sad sitting in the corner. Also there are so many people and groups contributing to this campsite that maybe even we haven't actually ever seen or didn't even know they existed but still they did an incredibly important task. Exactly and that's why we thought it would be a lovely idea that we just do one epic applause like earth shattering standing up dancing shouting. And every single clap will be for something that you experienced something that you did something that you see something that you're grateful for. So are you ready. Say yes. Okay are we are we doing the countdown for the next slide on the next slide on go three two one. Thank you. Wait wait wait we have we have who is this fine gentleman. Sorry. Who are you. And how can we help you. I think that I'm the guy who was hacked by people. You were the guy who was hacked by people. Yes. In which way. In a positive way. Many many very smart people coming together and just creating the atmosphere. Yeah. Yeah it's on I think. All right. So just imagine like very very many people coming together and creating the atmosphere is just awesome. Loitering. You have a bike home. The atmosphere. The shop.  You are sorry.   I don't know like I'm missing words. I have no words for this either. Okay. Surprise guest anything else you want to share with us or. Well if you like to marry me then I'm yours. Maybe later. I'm kidding. No Anything else It's a surprise guess that we have no idea If you do have her here, it would be incredible. So what do you have the girl here by the first name of kata kata? No, no, she isn't all right Come on So kata if you see this and you're listening to me right now Give me a call or let me know however you want to know All right And we got some apples All right So what? No, any other marriage proposal you can you can all join in the big thank you Because we're really you know this applause was more than we ever imagined it to be and it's really amazing and I'm sure Well, that's just a little little to gather coming really really soon We are so much looking forward to see every single one at you at Congress Thank you so much for being part of this wonderful event and It's a little miracle that we experience you together. Thank you so much and keep remember and there's There's one last slide. I hope this time the video doesn't stutter Somebody like that was actually really amazing that during the Congress we already a camp During the camp we already had amazing pictures amazing videos and one of the videos I found today and it's just a really the the perfect closing for this event So after that safe through poem safe, you know, this assembly of the camp and yeah enjoy your memories

is this really happening is this real life what now diskidisk the podcast yeah that is something that has happened because we love it our podcast yeah i don't think that's because of the youtube

that Because that is where it comes from does not change the merit of the argument being made Then is that plot holes do not Matter. No, he's wrong. What about all the times you told us they do man? Well, that's all the times you've made it. Yeah So the next time you want to criticize a story for a plot hole ask yourself Is the plot hole really the reason I dislike this story or am I just trying to feel like an intellect? Who said that it was I'm sorry, but this is the same thing. We're just right. I said, um, I explained the the issue with with holdo And then he said something along the lines of like it didn't bother me. It clearly bothered you and I was like I didn't tell you if it bothered me. I'm literally just talking about its existence so far Yeah, you're trying to assume like Assuming how we should feel about it. He's assuming that I don't like the film because of a plot hole when it's like No, I just want to talk about its existence It's like you understand and then and then like we can determine how important it is to the plot as in If it causes a major thing to happen that the whole film is about that's big or if it's the existence of a lamp that was smashed It's like yeah, like a plot hole might make make a film bad in the context of everything else or it might not But it might make you feel intelligent And he doesn't like you could say that about literally any film criticism Anything being correct makes me feel intelligent fucking And the reason is that plot holes do not Matter so the next time you want to criticize a story for a plot hole Ask yourself is the plot hole really the reason I just like this story or am I just trying to feel like an intellectual because no Ask yourself if the plot hole that you pointed out is actually a plot hole Yeah, yeah, that'll be a good start. Yeah, that's fine.  Hmm Because if you really genuinely dislike something I can promise you that a good 95 percent of the time The logic is not the problem I'm glad you know me so well.  I'm right Yeah, this is he keeps telling us way different ways that it matters that he's also like they don't though seven rewrites All right. Well tana mc eave tea. We'll we'll extend the same MicaVity micaVity. I don't know mc vitties. Uh, he music is too loud He's where's they are mckay to make a micky vity child tanner. He's overdone He's down there on the basement making his videos on the plots or whatnot Same goes for cosmonaut obviously, but you're welcome to come on if you'd like to clarify your position on plot holes But I defend your shitty ass video and tell me what I'm thinking the more Yeah, no hard feelings, but the video wasn't very good. No hard feelings.  I'll I'll quickly go through the super chats, but I think we're five hours is pretty strong I think People are basically saying now if it's not six hours. It's short. I'm like, please no Oh god, we've seen a terrible presence Um, you only have yourself to blame. This is true You need this to me modi pipe on holy grail to campy plot hole matter not I think that that's uh There's some shakespearian quote right there The trolls in mortals armies are olag high war trolls which sarron magically modified to be war beasts They can speak but only in black speech.  It's on its way Imagine if wolf were here eating this hearing this guy straw manning lord Wolf wouldn't be happy he'd be very angry Sword art online is shite jojo equals best current anime fair enough past the bleach. I'm getting thirsty wonderful Uh robot chicken makes every well written. I get robot chicken makes every well written. I guess Oh, is it because they do a lot of plot correction parody stuff? Yeah. Yeah, I do Guys parody's done to matter. I think I think a lot of people picked up on your uh, your criticism of his lettering ranks um They did there was two super chats that related to us. Oh my god If uh, if you ever need a weeb consultant, let me know this is going to be I know that there's plenty of people in chat We were going to suggest you're all our weeb consultants for that I go past one and two Uh, I've watched the tlg review three times on I wasn't bored, but in all seriousness I really enjoyed it. Do you bow? I know rags knows the reference. Do you know that one, uh, chris? Uh, no the board is the it's I hit everything's video where he said the third time he watched the last Jedi he wasn't bored Oh, yeah, yeah, it's just like Third time Anyone notice how similar holder is to matt adam malkovich from metroid other m. I have not played it Deliberately because I keep hearing about it is This super chat is just my opinion. Uh, your super chat is offensive. No you Good stuff guys.

Hmm. Yeah Yeah, I do like that video, but I can't rewatch it because I find him so cringy Leave him alone. He has an opinion So do why That's true. Um But yeah, I just like to have a laugh basically, so um, yeah No, good stuff. I've had a lot of fun. Um, obviously, you know guys way to catch me in rags I assume your fans of us if you're on this ridiculously terrible Uh, how could you rags bite him? I'm just using you for views Yeah, uh the reupload The reupload of this video will be on that link. I've just posted the second channel and um, yeah Thanks for coming on uh chris. Would you would you like to come on again sometime if we find some more plot hole related videos? Not just plot hole videos. No So plot holes videos are off-limits star wars is off-limits. You have to find something else It's now become like a meme on my channel spider-man's off-limits. So Yeah, but yeah, I worked. Yeah, it's been fun. Good stuff.

Um, send sins, uh cinema sin sins said that I just checked the guy's channel and he appears to have a video bashing infinity war Oh, you know what? I'll have a look into that. Maybe we'll cover that next time Or we can cover it with uh when cinema sin sins comes back on because I think you'd probably want to do that We shall see. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that'd be cool. I was actually gonna say we can both do it Rags you want to give an update for Video stuff coming. Yes, I'm working on a video. Um, but I'm also right now. I should probably finish it tonight Um, I have to do the tedious work of assembling all of the new art assets, which is Like 300 images right now But I have about half of it done And it's just just really tedious but I can finish that up today Um, and then those will be ready and then whenever I get new stuff I just add it to the old stuff But it's just it's a long process, but I've got it aligned out Um, it looks really really good. I think you guys really really like it exciting stuff, um My videos are just consistently on their way. That's I wish I could say more But I mean without going into detail that'll bore the crap out of you the I've got patreon updates They're all free. You can just check out all the details of uh, I got posts of my timeline And what's going to be in them and when I expect things to be done So if you guys are super curious, that's where you can find the information but We'll do probably um, we'll we'll keep up the weekly e-faps It's good to get an e-fap done every week. I'd say make sure it's healthy I think you guys would agree with that. Um, so next time we'll figure out who may or may not be Guesting you never know with these things and uh, what we'll be covering is a complete mystery as well But thank you all for the very kind donations and the company you provided I hope you had fun And we shall see you next time Bye


Right now at Appalachian Wireless you can get the Samsung Galaxy S7 for just $99.99 and get a second one. Free! Service agreement is required on both devices, serving you for the last 25 years with better service and bigger savings. At today's Appalachian Wireless. Drugs are known to be a huge problem in the region, and local law enforcement is doing everything it can to combat the issue. The Prestonsburg Police Department, along with Kentucky State Police commercial vehicle enforcement, were out this morning on a drug roundup. The city of Prestonsburg obtained nine warrants for truck trafficking in Floyd County and Johns County and McAuliffe County. Officials say this drug roundup has been in the works for several months. Her narcotics unit has been doing undercover investigations for about six months. They've done undercover buys with these nine people, and they obtained the warrants this morning and we're out trying to find them. Those arrested during today's roundup were 34-year-old Gregory S. Arnett of Martin and Donnie Bentley of Prestonsburg. Both were lodged in the Floyd County Detention Center. More arrests are pending at this time. Reporting in Prestonsburg for EKB News, I'm Shelby Steele.


OTAN Outreach and Technical Assistance Network. So good afternoon, everyone. I know it's been a long day. You have been completely overloaded with information, I bet. So we are going to keep this presentation pretty short and sweet. Again, my name is Dr. Carmen Martinez-Caderon. My colleague, Abby, I'm not sure she's here. I don't believe she's here. Oh, you are. Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you, great. OK, and so Abby, I'll let you introduce yourself, and then we'll go ahead and get started. Sure. Hi. Good afternoon, everyone. I'd like to say save the best for last. This is going to be a very short presentation. My name is Abby Medina-Lewis, and I'm a consultant with the California Department of Ed. And while I have Contra Costa and Solano and Merced areas, I also have the state agencies that are funded for Section 225, which is corrections, education, and other institutionalized individuals. And so we're happy to have you here, and I will turn it over to Carmen. Thanks, Abby. So yeah, likewise as Abby, I also have professional institutions under my belt. As a matter of fact, I oversee the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, CDCRs. We owe a title to funding. And obviously, they're 35 soon to be 32 state prisons. And within that, also Orange County and a couple other counties here in the Bay Area, but we won't go into that right now. And we'll go ahead and jump on to the next slide. So there we go. OK, so you may be asking, what is a correctional institution? All right. And so pretty much is any agency authorized under Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, so Section 225, as we've mentioned, of the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act. So these include jails or prisons, as I just mentioned. It also includes work farms, detention centers, halfway houses, community-based rehabilitation centers, or any other similar institution designed for the confinement or rehabilitation of criminal offenders. OK, so as you can see, it's a pretty extensive list that are eligible for this kind of funding. And we do have a variety of these institutions currently servicing this population throughout the state, including, as I mentioned prior or previously, the state prisons. So furthermore, as Abby mentioned, there are adults with disabilities. And so Abby does take care and oversee the Department of Developmental Services. And within that, the two development centers that are located in Portaville and Canyon Springs and the Department of State Hospitals. So the four state hospitals, which include Atescadero, Metropolitan, Napa, and Patton. So again, here you can see a variety of different state institutions that also receive. We owe a title to 225 funding. So with that said, as Abby mentioned, and as we promised, this is an extremely short presentation. And pretty much what we like to say is just present what kind of agencies are under section 225. And pretty much field any questions. What I will say is that all of these agencies also have to follow the same guidelines that are provided to any other agency receiving our funding. There are a couple of exceptions with regards to the deliverables that they are required to submit to us. But other than that, it's pretty much the same guidelines. So with that, I will pause and say that's really the last slide, second and last slide. And we will open it up for questions from anybody that may have one. So questions? So while we're waiting for people to post their questions, I also want to add, Rhonda had indicated in the chat that if you're not sure if you're receiving section 225 funding, you don't have to do it right now. But at the end of this presentation, you might want to get a hold of your grant award notification. And that's how you can find out if you are funded for section 225. Yeah, I don't know if everybody saw the info overload, but there's no questions so far. Oh, there you go, Jillian. Oh, wait, we do have a raised hand. Thank you for that, Jillian. Go ahead. So I would like to know, how do you grade or supplement 225 with K-fund? Do you grade or complement? So in this case, again, the fact that you have other state funding or even private funding doesn't change the status of our kind of funding, which is supplemental in nature. So always think of your core funding as whatever other funding you may have existing, including CAPE. And this is sort of that cherry on top. So even within 225, as I mentioned earlier, it doesn't really change anything or any other criteria that is different from the rest of the 231, other than some of the deliverables that we cannot collect just based on the fact that there are confined individuals and privacy issues that may arise from collecting certain information that were not allowed. But other than that, it's the same guidelines. It's still supplemental in nature. And so it can be utilized in the same manner. Did that answer your question? It did. Thank you, Carmen, but not but. And it's getting harder and harder to meet the pre and the post testing for the causes. And that is a fact. And maybe others are seeing that too. Were you specifically referring to like jails or what kind of institutions? OK. Yeah, is it because of custody issues? Yeah, correct. OK. I know COVID is sort of through kind of everybody for a loop. Just given the whole guidelines in terms of distancing and so forth. And it is challenging. I mean, having worked in a jail before as an officer myself, I know it can be very challenging to work with individuals providing services such as educational services while at the same time also following other mandates that come down from the state level as well with regards to security and health. So I hear you. I know there's different. I know at least within the CDCR, they're really relying and working quite a bit on implementing a lot of technology pieces that really help with that aspect. So I know there's different companies that provide sort of like a closed circuit internet where individuals obviously can sit there and Google everything and anything in the world, like if you were out here. But it does have like a closed circuit system to where they're able to utilize it for educational purposes. So you might want to look into that. Thank you. Great question, though. Other questions? Carmen, there's a question. It was in the chat. So I just happened to be on there. So it was from Peggy asking if the DSH Kulinga receiving money this funding cycle. Peggy, as far as I recall in the application, they only identified in the request for application. They only identified a Tuscadero metropolitan Napa in patent. But don't quote me 100% on that. I would need to double check. But as far as I know, at this moment, those are the four sites that are identified in the application. But I will double check on that. And we do have a question. And is it possible to teach them virtually and do not disclose our physical location and address to them? That's a great question. Again, I almost feel like that's really a local question because it'll really depend on your agency. In terms of the security, the FERPA, and all those guidelines that you have to follow as individual agencies. And the reason I'm saying that is I do know that there are different guidelines that certain agencies decide to adopt. Then maybe more than what's sort of the minimal requirements by either policy or law. So again, I would check with your local agency and just see what their security guidelines and privacy guidelines are. Did I answer the question? Go ahead and feel free to unmute. Oh, yeah. Hello, Dorothy Carmen. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. I just was wondering how we can find the local agency. We are in Sacramento, so I know for some reason. But I don't know whether we have to reach them or same as the other section that we were talking, they may reach us for something like MOU or we have to just go to them. So I think you were referring to inmates and you wanted to share your physical location for them to see your services? Yeah, I was thinking to teach prisoners. I never have experienced those. But I was thinking because of the security, I know we have to follow the guideline that they have. But for the security of our staff and our personnel, I was thinking how we can reach them. The only prison that they know is for some prison, do they have any office that we can communicate and you know about them to inform me about the contact person? Yeah. So again, because you're working with a local prison, you would definitely need to follow their guidelines and their policies. It's sort of a bit of a different setting, right? Then say like your local county jail, just because of the security levels, right? And so that would be one. But what I do know is that also prisons do connect students with local agencies prior to their release. So if an individual is wanting, for example, if they're halfway through obtaining their high school diploma and they still have some credits remaining to be able to complete that diploma, that prison will typically provide a list of services of agencies or providers that the individual can seek or go to in order to finish that high school diploma. So it's more, again, I would definitely check with the prison that you're working with and see what their guidelines are. Because again, for security purposes, you definitely need to follow those. There are different categories or classifications of individuals. And I know that some classifications may have access to a little more information than others. So you really need to be careful on that piece. But like I said, individuals that are ready to be released will get that information and they will know where to find you if need be. OK, thank you very much. You bet. There are questions. None are appearing. So maybe we'll just give folks a few more seconds if somebody has a last minute one. But nothing is cropping up. I just have one more question, if you don't mind. So I know when we wrote the grant, we were not aware of the agency that we have to reach out like local county jays. So now I wonder if we just welcome Is there any way to request to move some funding that they approve us from one section to other section? Any questions? I think I understood your question. Can you move funding from one section to the other? So for example, can you move funding from section 231 to 225 and vice versa? And the answer is no. Yeah, the answer is no. They're two different. I mean, think of it like it's two different buckets under the same umbrella. So it's for the same purpose, but it comes from different buckets. So you cannot transfer funding from those two different buckets. OK, which means that if you don't use that part of the funding, we will lose it. It's not that you lose it. It comes back to the state, whether it's 231 or 225. Yeah, it will come back to the state. And then it gets redistributed as, yeah. Oh, OK. Thank you very much. You're welcome. Peggy, I want to add, I did get a chance to double check on the application. And you are correct. Cualinga is in that application, so they are included. So thank you for correcting that. Appreciate it. If you're still here. And we do have, I think this is maybe more of a comment, but it's in the Q&A. This is from Janice. It says, Class or School for Adults had a program where we helped to expunge records of first time offenders by coordinating with the parole officer in Placer County Health Services. We offered resume assistance, workforce readiness, stress for success, and emotional healing and parenting classes. Right. Sounds like a very holistic program. Any other questions or comments? Janice just said thank you. So, I think that might be it. Last call. Going once and going twice, right? All right. Well, thank you, everyone. I will hand it over back to Jim. Thank you, Abby, my fellow colleague for presenting. I don't know if you have any last thoughts that you want to share with everybody present. So, OK, if not, I will say, again, thank you for staying for this presentation.


Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Thursday livestream. We got a lot of stuff to go over. Let's just jump right in, shall we? So first of all, thanks for stopping by. I do appreciate it today. Actually, I already did a video today with friends over there, Max from Because Bitcoin and Ben into the cryptoverse and we talked about a lot of different things and one of those the foremost attention would be of course the Bitcoin having and What could potentially happen and when we talked about first of all before I go on? Let me just commend Max here from Because Bitcoin for having a fantastic background that I have never seen before and I think I should have to do an FT Regardless, it was a good show links in the description. You can check it out but what we talked about was the Bitcoin having like everybody's talking about to death and I don't want to spend a lot of time on it because we know what's here We know what's coming everybody's excited and it's great because we think That after the Bitcoin having everything takes off Well, not so fast When I put this up this morning when we're talking about this from smart valor.com And we took a look at the bitcoins having timeline because you'll see a lot of different people They'll really break it down and really crime like, you know, we talk about to zoom out when in doubt zoom out everybody's been zooming in really zooming in for this one and we can just see that There's been three having so far November 28, 2012, July 9, 2016 and May 11, 2020 and right here in the middle is when the Bitcoin having actually happened and we talked about this and I there's somebody I think I forgot to mention which I Wanted to correct today Which was this talk about here's how Bitcoin behavior in the year leading up to each having having one it was plus 395% For that year and then after the having was 5000 having two is 2016 Of course, you know June it was a hundred forty two percent for that year up to that point And then two hundred eighty four percent the year after then having three of course It was only seventeen percent in that year and almost six hundred percent after and we did as we took a look at and we talked About rallies going into it or not rallying and the course has been talked to death But I just found it interesting that yes, you know people will say well You know there's a bit of a slump and it really kind of you know really goes down if we really really want to zoom in here And say that but yes, that's true It does but if we can just see like afterwards, why are we like I was thinking about this I'm like, why don't we just focus on the big the big picture Which is after the having usually what happens whether there's a slump or there's not a slump The next year after is Pretty great year as far as like a bull run and some people we talked about this today could be uh Left side translated we could see a massive blow-off top in 2024 and even if that happens great But the general direction is of course up and we can see that This happened in this was november 28 2012 This one was june or see me july 2016 got that correct and yes We rallied into it. There was a little tight.  So of course over here Came up sideways up Over here a little down sideways up and then over here Sideways up So like when people say well, it's gonna do this or it's gonna do that it's gonna do that the discussion that we had I I loved it. It was great and we talked a lot about the macroeconomics What Jerome Powell could do talked about wars and how everything kind of plays into that that that piece It's not as cut and dry as we think it is But in the general grand scheme of things I think we're in the right place in the right time and again if you just want to For for mental clarity or mental peace of mind Just remember this, you know a bad day, which we've had a couple of those going into this is not a bad year So again, I know we've been zooming into these things We've really been looking into it, but I think we really should zoom out and because of that I'd like to talk about tokenization So tokenization of real world assets the foregone conclusions that Ethereum is going to dominate and it's going to take over everything And that is what black rock is doing and they're going into that sector, which could be true Which is true. Actually. I mean, they are doing that. They are looking at theorem They they do like that for real world assets, but this was an article I thought was an interesting as a contrarian point Because I like to see the other side of this especially in these markets Especially because as we get into these things and we're talking about it Uh, I remember just two weeks ago people were saying what an idiot Would be for taking profits. Well after, uh, we wiped out all the profits for 2024 in a 72 hour time frame I think people might be thinking hey, maybe it wasn't a bad idea to take some profits back then I'm not saying you should I'm just saying the contrarian views, right? So for this one I like this article. This is uh, take a look at ripple and what it could do. Here's what we got So ripple x senior vice president Marcus Inventure Treadfy players are finally bringing financial assets on chain as they look to deploy for production And solve pain points and various value chains The research estimates and this was interesting recent executive said that the research estimates pin the future value of tokenized markets at 16 trillion Let me say that one more time The future value Of tokenized markets real world assets is 16 trillion What do we have now? We're like right two trillion. So that's like eight times Our entire market and before people say that's ridiculous. That's crazy. Let me remind you of this one. I haven't I've been taking out this This graph in quite some time. This is all the money in the world I love this one because it just shows you how small and infantile the crypto and the gel asset market actually is Here's gold. Everyone of these squares is a hundred billion. You know gold is almost 12 trillion dollars. Isn't that crazy Rules billionaires 13 trillion. That's musk bezos and our gates Central bank balance sheets and this has gone up quite a little bit 28 trillion dollars The s and p 500 around 100 trillion Global money supply what we got here 48 and 82 trillion as far as broad money Stock markets total global you're looking at 140 or 150 trillion dollars and then debt is 300 trillion dollars, which is you know, america's doing a great job of of giving just really growing up that Real estate 259 trillion. So we're talking about real world assets. Here you go Residential 259 trillion agriculture 35 trillion commercial real estate 33 trillion household wealth. I guess so And then my favorite derivatives contracts you've got 12.4 trillion National value is 600 trillion. The future is forward options warrants and swaps. So when we talk about this, they're like, hey, it could be 16 trillion don't laugh I think that's a low number just saying I think we could do some damage here And this is what was said A couple of years ago, many of us in this space. We're envisioning that Real world assets is getting closer to reality and it's happening on public blockchains at some point It looked like it would only happen on jp morgan coin or ibm. I remember this when they did these Experiments with their centralized closed off chains and they thought that they could do it and then they realized that oh, that's right Not too many people trust us as much as we thought it was we need a trustless system Especially global and that's why they've taken a look at avalanche. They've done things of real world assets They've used chain link as well and of course ethereum and now they're looking at XRP doing the same thing. I think They're going to use bitcoin. I'll get to that in a second Imager said that advanced conversations with various financial institutions are ongoing and they are exploring tokenization products to issue assets On the xrp ledger. I gotta tell you nobody needs a win Bigger than the xrp army. You guys got kicked in the teeth for so long I feel sorry for you guys and especially pretty much carrying the entire crypto community by taking the fight to the sec Thank you for doing that Tangible example of this was hsbc Bank partnering with rip alone tech firm medical medical To allow institutional investors to hold tokenized securities on his new custody platform and that was just november 2023 So again, we're taking a look at these real world assets It's we just feel like it's a foregone conclusion that thyrm is going to be the winner and that's it But of course when we take a look and take a step back and go, hmm, maybe it's not at one size take all Maybe it is not Just one winner. Maybe it is multi-chain. Maybe it is account abstraction or blockchain abstraction Like ilia talks about a near for near protocol And you know, I could be wrong, but this is what I see Let me know what you think about that in the comment section And here's what i'm getting to as far as like tokenization of assets The problem with This first of all, there's no problem with xrp. There's no problem with with ethereum. I mean doing real old assets. That's great It's fine. I hope it works out for everybody Right, but I think that bitcoin could be it because Institutions right now love bitcoin. They love to get into it. There's a great website I've been talking about l2.watch and it's all the different side chains and l2s On the different chains that are out there on ethereum You can see because you know arbitram 1 uh avalanche Babylon be all these stuff that are on different different tokens, but you if you count if you count them up As far as the native token and the different, uh Chains and the l2s and l1s and side chains bitcoin has over 10 different l2s and side chains currently in development And that means that they could have The functionality of smart contracts And i'm not kidding because I just did a video and I just put it out an hour ago and it talks about core The core dow and what is the core? core is essentially an l1 it's built with ethereum virtual machine or evm compatible smart contracts on a bitcoin powered blockchain crazy, right so when i'm thinking about the things that could happen Bitcoin was the first It wasn't built for this part because it wasn't envisioned But if you could put a side chain or an l2 on it and you could really decrease the amount of Costs for payments have a dow a decentralized exchange do swaps nfts defi and the whole gambit that what ethereum can actually do You have a section That could actually do tokenization of assets as well So I know we talk about our theorem is going to win But I I just take a look at it and I think that I think that side chains and l2s on bitcoin Can really run up and the reason I I'm excited about core is because it's not just some random token That's out there. It's actually in the top 50. Well, it's 57 right now because didn't do so great the last couple a couple of days But it's been out since 2023. They had a fair launch watch that video Uh, because I bring in uh rich rynes who is one of the initial contributors to the to the to the uh platform and you make your decision from there again link to that video The links in the description and check that out. So that's that piece And I think things are going good Even though we've had quite a little drop-off, but this was an interesting also piece. This is eric bolchunis And uh, he's the guy that totally called it right for the bitcoin etf from bloomberg I like to see these things because it's a correction and it's a it's a wide range of thinking Of you know, like the vision that you have so eric He actually talked about the hong kong etfs that were coming out and he said, you know what? It's not a big deal. You know, you're looking at rest less than uh 500 million maybe you get up to that point And people really think this is a great thing But it's not because there's no big players in it and that was about three or four days ago And now he comes out and says, you know what? Here's some good news for the uh for the hong kong etf Our asset estimate is now 1 billion in the first two years, which is double with the initial Projection Which is healthy, but nowhere near the 25 billion that if that people said okay, I give them that But a lot depends on infrastructure improvement. We also think it helps hong kong as an etf leader in asian region And I just saw this and I'm like that's great, you know, like we can we can come behind and go You know what if we take a broader look at this it's not just 200 million or 500 million Maybe it's a billion maybe and then who knows maybe it'll be 2 billion So I know people will give them a lot of guff in the comment section But uh, I applaud eric for just saying hey, you know what? It could be what much more and this is what I think it is. So that's good news Here's some great news finance Is gonna return to india After paying that's a nothing fine paying 2 million fine. I thought for some reason I did this I thought I was 200 million but 2 million. What is that? Is that in their couch cushions? 2 million fine for non-compliance. This is great because you know india's only got like 1.3 billion people Right in its country. So this is this is good. Here's what we got finance will be the second Overseas exchange after coup coin to mark a return to the country after india's financial regulatory body blocked access to crypto exchanges for non-compliance Any ministry of finances financial intelligence unit or fi you blocked access to nine foreign exchanges Including finance in the first week of january for failing to adhere to the country's Anti money laundering act boy. They do love that That aml. We're really popular in that too here in the united states Binance reportedly accounted for the 90% of indian crypto trading volume. That's that's everything before it's banned in january This is this is why this is great. Binance accumulated for more than 90% of indian crypto trading volume now. They're coming back I'm not saying that india, you know floats the whole boat for uh, the digital asset market I'm just saying It's great to have more people to come in and have access to buying up crypto digital assets and being a part back where they should be Indian users flock to foreign crypto exchanges like binance to bypass the Severe tax and positions which prompt the government to ban overseas exchanges not registered with fi you Now with fi you registration foreign and crypto exchange like finance will adhere to the same rules and regulations as indian exchanges And that's how it's done you don't have to You know bring people in like gary genzler And say hey, you know, we want you to sit down. Okay, now we want you to register with us Well, how do we do that? Well, i'm not going to tell you you got to figure it out And if they just would do what india did which is like, hey, you're you're not following the rules for the anti-money laundering AML, I mean we need to do this this this and this and you can come back You're going to pay a fine, but it's all going to be all good, right cool. They do that. They come in and everybody's happy I don't know why this is so hard for america. I just don't get it anyhow Let me just think about that in the comments And lastly This was a good one if you want to make If you want to make revenue Right now do something in crypto Do something in digital assets do something especially with deep end. This was fascinating to me bitcoin ordinals game Excuse me bitcoin ordinals gameboy inspired gaming handhold and handware wallet Sells out instantly. I don't really think that I really went to the this is I went right to the website because I was like, what is this called? It's called this is funny bitcoin ords games ordinals It's called a bitcoin. It's called a bitcoin. It's called the bitcoin one Can't make that up But what was interesting to me is that this sold out in seconds seconds and If we're taking a look at it I would have bought one of these actually well, maybe I don't know But the price I don't know if you can see it's kind of dark point zero zero six So let's see. What is point zero zero six wow so point zero zero six actually point zero zero six nine It's uh over 400 bucks. Oh, is that right? Yeah, wow point zero zero six nine then it was point zero zero eight then it was point zero one. Wow Let's just do that. I just want to show you something point zero one is equated is Right now at the current price of six hundred twenty nine dollars So they sold out they sold a thousand of them. So let me do some quick math six hundred twenty nine times a thousand. What is that? Six billion dollars and I'm just kidding six hundred twenty nine thousand dollars That's pretty good for a game boy company which threw together some games. I mean, they're cool games, but come on and What you're able to do is you're able to not mine, but you can play these ordinal games, but like classic games like heavy metal And uh, oh like sonic the hedgehog and street fighter and stuff like that stuff. I used to play because I'm old and uh also And then you can you can play the ordinals game right here What's a bit boy bitcoin based gaming console launch my orids game Thousand supply lumen addition what benefits are there this was this was this is where they got people bit boy genesis nft Played bit boy physically and vitually exclusive mining you get airdrops game access retro emulation bitcoin deans. I gotta tell you That's a pretty good idea if you think about it So if you're looking at something like comes to kind of high side also do something in crypto and digital assets Because it just only makes sense. So good for these guys bit boy. That's fine And then uh next to last Uh, I like the game and it's really cool and it's really nice but in all honesty I think you should probably think about Saving yourself a little bit, especially with a hardware wallet. If you don't have a hardware wallet I recommend tangent, which is right there, right? But I just want to show you something We talked about this today on the on the show the crypto critical videos These four videos in the are in the description Of all of my videos And these first two wide when i'm selling 80 percent and the stress free profit taking have near a hundred thousand Views already though 80 percent one. I think already has over a hundred thousand views But this one right here where I say don't make these crypto mistakes barely 20 000 Because people are always thinking about you know, hey How much you know, how much can I make how much can I make?  I'm not going to judge anybody. It's fine But I'm just saying it's not how much you make. It's how much you keep I'd like you guys to watch this video Don't make these crypto mistakes. It's kind of important I don't I don't want you to get scammed and screwed out of all your money Especially coming so close to I think a blow off top at some point And because of that I teamed up with tangent And they put my logo on a card, which is great And if you'd like to there's a link in the description again Uh Apply the code of dan. I think you get like 10 off Let me see that's not bad and uh, you can get The cold storage device, which is tangent. This is the one that I use. I've got it right here I don't know if you can see this But uh, they're just easy to use and I like them and they're reasonably priced I mean 60 some dollars for for a three pack not too bad And now you can use you can either have you have the three pack And you can also back it up as far as like a uh, mnemonic phrase anyhow I'm going to be talking about that a lot. So if you'd like to get one links in the description, but that's it for today So everybody, thanks so much for stopping by. I appreciate it. Oh, oh, oh shari. Sorry. Sorry Uh, if you're in the Puerto Rico area Come on down to the San Juan smokehouse 537 30 and have a drink with me because it's been a really crappy week And uh, we'll do a little meet up talk some crypto first beers on me second beers on steven And that's it for today. So now Thanks so much for stopping by. I appreciate it. If you like today's video give it a thumbs up consider subscribing Let me talk about his time sensitive and so forth But that's it. Now if you want to get into it, we'll do a little q&a and go from there But if you had to take off take off. Thanks for stopping by Aristotle played her I've given up on profit. It's not worth it I don't blame you there. So it's been a bad day the last 24 hours. It's been A little hectic Ugh my tangent is stuck in customs It sucks Customs it's one of those things that you have to go through apparently especially with but it's a card like it's not like you're shipping oranges crossed away X ready that is a very funny comment and I will keep that but I cannot show that that's very It's pretty good Ah, this is a good one rusty bot says the bit boys number one game the quest for the lost lambo. I can see that one yellow yub candles yub business model. Yeah, you know ripples ripple right they've got a lot of Well, the xrp army can tell you all about their their game plan and what's going on I'm not the guy to talk about that Ah, Edward Fox. Rob. Where was guy this morning? Fantastic question so guy Is actually being bombarded Let me see if I can find him coin Ah, there you go Guy's in Dubai 2049 and he's dealing with flooding and massive nonsense is happening over there And they're just schmoozing with everybody Nick jessica Crypto Sito and guy hanging hanging out in uh, Dubai or token 2049 looks like a fun time Uh, some of my partners over there having a a good time with the uh flooding but guy couldn't make it today too many different meetings and stuff like that so Brought a max from because bitcoin. It was good stuff Darth Mike says guy will be fine. He's British for use to the rain. That's true Wow, we tattle says it's good that India is welcoming changes, but also about 30 tax currently. We just said, yeah, you know I'm just gonna say this as far as like taxes. There was an article that was out which talked about um, Canada and capital gains tax now being 66 percent and it was uh, it was a Wall Street Journal one and everybody picked it up and talked about how crazy it would be For 66 capital gains, but it actually wasn't true and I actually went through this I posted this I deleted the post because of a specific reason because taxes are tricky And it's not like and it's true. They weren't getting taxed at 66. Here's how it works in Canada Correct me if I'm wrong Canadians because everybody was telling me this. I don't know if they're in Canada or not So whatever your capital gain is because they don't have short and long term like America Whatever your tax bracket is That's what you get tax for your capital gains And you only pay half of your capital gains So like if you have a capital game 100,000 that means that you're only going to pay 50 percent Which 50 000 dollars in your tax bracket So it's 50 50 000 tax brackets at 23 percent you owe 23 percent of 50 000 dollars And now they're saying Above a certain threshold now it's 66 percent.  It's 66 000 of your tax bracket.  That's why I use my cpa here who I've used the last two years That understands crypto and exactly my plan what I'm trying to do do those things And uh, maybe live a little longer so you're not so stressed out. All right Okay Fuzzbearer Hey rob fellow will pass away. Hey man One eventually move and save on capital gains tax. One of the best areas live in Puerto Rico They help with contacts of people to help with questions. There's a First of all, the best region is you know, like I mean San Juan's a great place Dorado people seem to love it. It's expensive whatever Uh ring cone if you're like, uh, a chill surfer who just likes to surf and you know relax That's a good place Uh guainabo is my favorite because I'm I'm close to the beach but not close to the tourists I don't like dealing with those people and uh, yeah, so there's a Let's see. There's a video If you search for digital asset news and Puerto Rico Like I am doing right now I Give you I I give you all my My real estate agent my lawyers And my different thoughts in the different sectors to get into and just uh, who to trust and who not to trust and Some screw ups I did along the way. So watch that video It's the one that says no taxes. This is after after living here a year. So, yeah Those tourists.  Well, these things happen Um, Scott jumps mutual friend. Oh, I got it, right? Hello, that's correct about cleaning tax. The 60% is after the first 250. Oh, see there you go So you get 50% all the way to 250k and then 250k six and it's just that's why I say get a cpa Steve says I got red Puerto rick got some awesome reef Puerto Rico's got some awesome everything. It's great here. It's great if you if you focus If you move here and you think okay, I'm just here for you know To minimize my capital gains is going to be miserable existence You have to move here and really embrace the place. You have to You have to go to the beaches. You have to meet the people You have to get out and you have to do things and it's and but once you do it's great and uh That's just my and then also when you move here and you come to one of these meetups There is a uh a secret whatsapp group secret and it's every different type of Club or organization or interest that you could possibly think of is in this this list It's a it's like I said, it's a whatsapp list And like it doesn't matter if you're into if you're into sports If you're into like playing basketball or if you're into jujitsu or if you're into Biohacking or if you're into You know basket weaving doesn't matter There's a list of everything that's here and these different little groups and they all meet and they yeah good place to to hang out and do things Ooh Ed says Dan degen airdrop farming edition. That's a good idea. Yeah You know if you want to know some things about farming and airdrops just watch uh, lady of crypto and crypto sito They're the ones that do a really good job Rob where the nice San Juan homes what part? They're all very reasonably nice for the most part. I mean, there's some There's some areas There's always an area there were people like I wouldn't go there but You know Just got to come here and and watch that video and then contact my real estate agents.  I see the ways beach looks fun beach is fun Let's see Oh Carter says I'm the only crypto client that my accountant has. I hope she knows what she's doing We'll find out find out at the end Wow Check who quantity of tax rolls legit 30% they recently announced Well, I mean you think about it like in america The lowest you're gonna pay for long-term capital gains is 20 roughly 21 percent That's long-term capital gains and if you live in a state that doesn't have additional capital gains If you're uh, if you sell before a year, I mean and you live in new york Good luck And you're a high earner because you're looking at over 40 easy. So maybe it's just that You need to speak spanish. We're going to port of rico. No, not really. This is what I find Uh, everybody mostly speaks english.  I will speak to him in english That's that's pretty much it Ah It's like you're gonna take the buy off the ball of tesla. I just yeah Well, and then they just that big mass layoff in austin Damn much further. Let's hope not but hey Yeah, and class I wonder Class is right if you hold your crypto for one year and sell after and sell after one year in germany You pay zero taxes zero zero taxes in long-term capital gains in in germany It's a pretty good deal Ryan I live in nevada. I used to live in nevada. He's living Las Vegas. Great place taxes no state tax either Yeah, I've got a good point layoffs are beneficial to company earnings tesla should easily beat earnings the next quarter with the layoffs Something to think about Jesus see, I know we're getting to I know we're getting into the bull market because I get a lot of questions about Puerto Rico Even from influencers or kls or people on youtube and twitter. I probably talked to About six or seven of them I'm like, hey, man. How's that Puerto Rico thing? I'm thinking about moving like oh, I bet you are Uh mosquitoes They're good.  I don't know what it is, but it'll probably do great in the bull market I don't know Ah, I didn't know that My wife and I love the free dive Uh, I have to say based off of google earth looks like there are tons of great free diving spots. That'd be pretty cool I have not done that See how long I can hold my breath and go down John's right No one is calling you dan So we're not in the bull market. Yeah, that's right Once we get into these these q and a's and people are keep saying hey dan and dan this and then i'm like Yeah, here we go Hello noz Noz is here Frogger was a great game My kid speaks my kid speaks manner. That's a difficult language to learn All right guys, so Almost every german people I am a cow almost every german person speaks God dang it Almost every german person speaks english today the same thing here in porto rico. I mean, it's a universal language Let's be honest. All right, everybody and that's it But pick up some spanish. It goes a long way. That's it for today. I think we're good So again, if you guys want to you're in porto rico come on down around 5 30 to Taste the smoke sand one smokehouse There is a link in the description for the post which goes to The x account for sand one smokehouse and you can find directions and all that stuff there or just put in sand one smokehouse and Go that rock.
