Just as a recap, Susie Binance came out and said, hey, I'm buying FTX because Sam reached out and he needed help. And that's what's happening. But if you want to stick around, we'll do some Q&A. If not, get out of here. If you liked the video, give it a thumbs up, like and subscribe, all the good stuff. Now let's get into my favorite part of the whole show, the Q&A. Let's go from there. All right, beardies here. What? Daniel Hayes, I love SPF and FT. Nothing wrong with that. I know some people hate Sam Begman-Freeway like a passion, but in all honesty, he did what he said he was going to do. Like when things got hairy, he made a really tough choice and said, he's going to reach out and go and grovel and beg probably and say, look, I do not want to go on the path of Voyager and Celsius. We are insolvent. We are illiquid. There are problems. Please help us out. I know sometimes people hate to, people hate to ask for help, but by asking for help, you really just are not giving up. That's really what it means. I think people who ask for help are stronger than the ones that can't. So in this situation, hats off to Sam for doing what he had to do to make that tough decision. This is a great question. Bronco Novak, what will happen out all the clients that FTX bought from Voyager? First of all, I don't know if that deal's going to go through, brother, because they're insolvent. They're illiquid. And now it really comes down to, well, this would be the other thing we're talking about, about monopolies. Holy sweet, Mary and Joseph. Think about this way. Now that Binance just picked up FTX, that deal still hasn't gone through. It's supposed to go through at the end of the month for Voyager. What does that mean? Well, now that deal, and I'm not a lawyer, but it would seem to me that that's not going to happen. So now that whole plan for Voyager is out the window. Now it comes to Binance. And Binance has the option now to go, you know what? Maybe I could make an offer. You can't make this up. Better than a novella. BNB still rising. Excuse me. Let's see here. Don't mind me. Don't mind me. Just doing something. Let's see. All right. All right then. Not that I did anything. Just saying. Ah, let's see. Hats off to yesterday. The guy scanned millions of FTX tokens. Cops asked me, first of all, did he scam you? You knew, and we all knew where these tokens were coming from. They're made of thin air. Pancakes, don't blame that guy for what you did.  Is it a proof of work? How many wallets own FTX? How concentrated is it? You knew all these things. Everybody knew all these things. The question was how much utility did the FTX or FTT token actually have? Did it actually, was it actually solid? Was it dispersed enough? I don't have any FTT. I don't know where everybody's coming from on this one. So. Binance is cancer and medicine for crypto. They play everyone. Perhaps Joe Black might not be too far off. I don't. Kasha's crypto says, Rob, do you have any tips for crypto tools specifically portfolio tracker, watch those curators? No, I just use a spreadsheet, just have everything there. And then as much as I tried to do, I take all the crypto off of the exchanges as much as I possibly can. I think, oh, Robert says, I think someone did SPF dirty. CZ accused him of lobbying behind his back. That's true. I doubt SPF did that. Perhaps, but whatever was said between CZ and Sam Bankman-Fried was what turned to the bridge when things went sideways, agreed? Again, you know how hard it is to go to somebody who, you know, maybe you don't like and maybe you think to yourself is the reason for the incredible downfall of your company? That's gotta be tough. Because let's be honest, it all started with Dylan Leclerc. He put a tweet and said, I think FTX may be insolvent. And he took a look between the liabilities and the assets. And they had 16 billion in assets and 8.1 billion in liabilities. The thing was, is a lot of it was locked up in Solana. And the big one was FTT or the FTX token. And in that situation, if it's locked up or you have a token that's created out of thin air and you own the majority of it, good luck selling it to get liquidity, right? So you got that happened with Dylan and then CZ comes out and says, we're dumping all our FTT tokens. And then within 24 to 36, I forgot what one long was, 24 hours or so. Now you have to go to the guy who may have potentially sunk your whole business and say, I'm doing this for the investors. I still say hats off to him for doing it. Texting Simon, I should. Simon's gonna be on, Simon Dixon's gonna be on the show pretty soon. I'm glad he's gonna come back. This should be a good show. I'd like to see what he has to say. Spokes says, do you know this means that CZ cannot buy Celsius now? You have to explain to me why. I'm not that smart. No honor among thieves. And Pickle's got a great point. It's all about the long game in the end. Battles versus wars, right? So right here, you know, we go along with the turbulence and of course the positivity's at the very end. Do we win the war? And the war, I guess for most people, be financial freedom, right? And I have to go to a nine to five job or just provide for their families or provide for next generations. So right now, sometimes you lose a battle here and there. I've done it myself. I got stuff stuck on Celsius and Voyager myself. And but in the long game, as we go through these turbulent times, I think there's better days ahead. And the reason why I say this because there's tremendous upside to crypto, just right now, again, it's not the projects that are the issue.  And it's why I'm always harping on you guys to get all your crypto off the exchanges. So you want to deal with this nonsense, right? We went through the Celsius and Voyager BS. So that's why I created those rules, which is right, the pickle is hiding from us and just go from there, right? Now third rule, nothing on exchanges. That's it. Yeah, Amy Johnson's not a good point. CZ is a supporter of DeFi. So I wonder if we'll all get a DeFi rally now that SPF won a power government. That's a good point. I think that's one of the bigger issues people were ticked off at Sam about was because he was a big donor to a lot of politicians and they didn't like that. And so now he's out of the picture. And Rob's got a point. Rob Blaze, that's a great name. It should be a crime for SPF to claim that there's no problem when there is a problem. Yeah, but no, actually you're right. It is true, Rob. Now you're right, it's true. You shouldn't say that, but I think as time has gone on, I think we all know since we're seasoned in this whole market, we knew the signs, we knew what time it was, we knew what ending it was gonna play out to. When Sam came out and said, everything's okay, there's no liquidity issues, we got this. Don't worry, everybody. The alarm bells went off and we're like, shoot, I gotta get all the stuff off and we did it. And that's when we saw the same thing happen with Alex Machinsky. I remember Alex was on my show and he was saying that we're gonna see all-time highs towards the end of the year.  And then everything went sideways. And then of course, the same thing was with Steve and Voyager, now here we are with SPF. So again, when everybody says, there's nothing to see here, folks, move along. There's no problems. That's when there's a big problem. That's when there's a big problem. The gray. I guess if someone is trying to be a pimp, they're overcommenting for someone this line of work. It's true. Funds are saffoo. The old Seasy one. Thank you, Henry. Thank you for listening. You saved me late last night. I saw your tweet and got out of bed, moved my stuff off FTX just to be safe. Thank you. You're welcome. I gotta tell you, like in a lot of investing vehicles, it's really a set it and forget it. Like the S&P 500, yeah, set it and forget it. Robin Hood, Dallacost, Average, Ban, Moffiko. Same thing with like being individual stocks, right? Over time, you should do okay. Depending on the stocks you pick, actually. But with crypto, it's not a set it and forget it. You gotta be really involved. And I made that mistake. If you're not involved, you lose money like crazy. And the pickle says ledger or tracer, all about user interface. People like tracer more for the user interface. I'm just used to ledger because I'm just have done it so long. But yeah. What was that dip and pump today? Norman, it really comes down to FTX becoming illiquid and Binance coming in and bailing them out.  You think, yeah, governments move fast for the great recession. In 2008, 2009, this one happened in less than an hour. Pretty amazing. Less than 24 hours. JH says it right. Me just chilling watch everybody freak that F out while everything here is on my ledger. And I gotta tell you, it actually comes out of this. This is, when you have a ledger and you do it right, you don't keep things on exchanges. This is essentially you watch this video or not. All right, that's good. And that's good enough. You get the point. The point is that, you know, if you just, it was the same thing with Bitcoiners who are anybody who had all their crypto on a ledger. That's the whole point. I used to say in the past, as I've progressed, I've figured this out.  So maybe it's just easier to leave it on there. Whoa, we all learned a lesson. So from here on out to the end of time, I'll be talking about this.  Don't leave it on there. And that'll be me forever. CZ is clever, I have to agree. Yeah, Liberty and Trust says, this is a non-binding agreement for CZ to acquire, probably, but not certain. Here's a question for everybody. Maybe Sam reached out and said, hey, help me, just say you're gonna buy it and go through it and we'll work some kind of back deal, right?  And then CZ's like, yeah, okay, we'll do that. And then they just don't go through with it. I guess that really wouldn't make sense either because then if they, if they went through that whole process and then CZ backs out, then I think there would still be a run of the bank. So this does sound legit. Okay, let's see. Imagine the panic, but it's going down. Facts, that's good. Seems like they're consulting all their stolen assets from Voyager. Hey, maybe we get a better deal from CZ, who knows? Mishinsky jail time, perhaps. Well, I don't care if he goes to jail or not. I just want all our crypto back. This is good. SVF will be given a cozy position that requires a bucket and broom and Binance HQ. Pretty good. Solana got saved. That's actually a pretty good point. Again, remember FTX had a ton of locks Solana. So thanks, I appreciate that. Wolfby says, well, if you have FTT in your ledger, it really doesn't help. That's true. Well, just like everything else, right? At least you don't go to zero. I mean, even if you had Luna on a ledger, I don't know if you could even put Luna on ledger. It still goes to zero, right? So what we have to understand, that's the risk that we're taking, right? There's no guarantee that everything can't go to zero. I think that's pretty ridiculous. I mean, considering like the reason that we talked about, especially with the government getting so big into it, and also, you know, the black rocks, the mass mutuals, the fidelities, so I don't get it. Oh, sorry, let me go down. Yep, I took my coach off FTX. Thank you for showing up. Thoughts on the Voyager deal? It's not gonna go through now. I mean, where's the money gonna come from from FTX? You know, so. I mean, that is through Alameda research, though. It's not, I'm not for sure if it's FTX or Alameda, because Alameda research is the financial arm. Nah, but they still don't solve it. When this, now that's a good question. Bruce says, when does Binance buy Coinbase? I think Coinbase is safe for now. I think just for their custody service, they make a ton of money off of that one. But that's a good question. My bigger question is this, is what's the next exchange that's gonna fold that Binance is gonna absorb? Binance could be, and you know what's funny? Wasn't it two or three months ago when we were always talking about, myself included, that Sam was gonna be the next Jeff Bezos for crypto? Could he's buying up everything? Well, guess what? That didn't come to pass. Just how it is. Everything you think the market can do one thing, it kicks you right in the teeth and says, no, I'm gonna go do something else. That's why it's great to diversify and dollar cost average, because you never know. Mike Mad says, any advice for a fresh starting crypto YouTuber? How long does it take for you to see success? Great question.  Just kidding. But I'll answer it for you. The thing they should do as far as YouTube is consistency. Just keep putting it out there. Just know that you're gonna sound like some of the people you watch, and that's okay. It's gonna take you for a while to find your voice. Once you find your voice, you'll be very different from everybody else. And that's, I think, when you start to see more subscribers when you find who you really are. The next thing is, if you're gonna do something like what I'm doing here and talking about the crypto or whatever else, use a product called StreamYard. Makes things a lot easier, very simple, very easy to use. Don't use OBS or stuff like that, cause it just kinda suck. And then the next thing is this, is that if there's three things you have to have, that's super important for every video. It's have good audio, have good audio, and have good audio. All this stuff in the background doesn't really matter. This is all green screen anyhow, so it doesn't matter. I know it looks, it's a green screen. I'm in my mom's basement. So just do that, and you should be, that's the best advice I can give. All right. Anyone changing it? I just texted him this morning, matter of fact. He's doing fine. Rob, if we did not weed out these con artists, this space will never thrive. CS, it needs to have consequences for the con artists. True. Here's a question for everybody. Would you like to see more regulation for crypto exchanges? So this stuff doesn't happen. Although, if you look at it, I mean, didn't we just have banks about a decade ago go insolvent? So, who cares? I still hold to the theory that we need regulation clarity. What's a security? What is a commodity, and what is a currency? And just go from there. And I know everybody's really bummed out about the library decision with the SEC. It looks like LBRY, they went through like a years, years long battle with the SEC. They just lost their case for the ICO. But don't worry, because I mean, is it the most awful thing in the world? I remember this. BRY's favorite crypto called EOS, went through the exact same thing. They lost their battle with the SEC. And what did they have to do? Well, they raised $4 billion, and they paid $24 million in fines. Woo, not a big deal. So that just happened, everybody forgets about this. It happened just like two and a half years ago. So that's it. I don't know if it's gonna be a big deal or not. So you gotta pay some fines and move on. That's the cost of doing business. That's it. Ooh, JR, Bitcoin dropping back below 20K. Let's see. Interesting, interesting times. Let me refresh. Yeah, you're right. Look at that. A pump, well, that makes sense, right? A pump and then people take profits and boop. Let's see what Binance Coin is doing. Ah, not bad. But jeez, I went from, really? 322 to 333. Yeah, people take them profits. Probably keep going up again. Hey, yeah, that's true. I should do this one. You need a new rule where there's smoke, there's fire. I say that phrase enough. So what about so, what about so? Great question. Let's see. Solana. Wow. That was a great question because apparently it's down 15%. Although it did pump, ah, this isn't anything. Hold on, is this in 24 hours? Went from $27 up to $30, like 27.  James probably did that. Who knows? CZ could honor the Voyager deal. May have wanted to actually, yeah, perhaps. I don't know. I'm more interested in what they're gonna do with Celsius, honestly. FTX-US is still on Sam Bacon's present. Potentially, again, when we talk about the withdrawal process, Sam specifically said FTX-US is not affected. So maybe this doesn't affect them later on. But again, CZ Binance, and Binance is, they've already done a letter of intent to buy out FTX in completion. Not for sure if that's FTX-US. I wouldn't, I don't see why they wouldn't buy them both. If one's illiquid, you know, why wouldn't it be ever? I don't know. Diamond, good morning. But so Binance, boy, is out of Voyager. Yeah, can you make Mountain a mod? Ah, sure. Who's Mountain? And says they're just limiting retail competitions, scaring everyone off and buying it up. Yeah, it could be true.  Made a lot of money in a little bit of time. I'm not that guy though. So Bruce says, did Voyager wipe you out? No, no, because remember, I mean, you understand that like on the way, like I don't just say these rules just to waste my breath, I do what I say I do. I don't do it to like the nth degree perfectly like I should have. But again, the rules where I talk about don't invest money, can afford to lose. That's a big one for me because I won a little bit too heavy in 2017. I make sure that I understand everything's a scam until proven otherwise. I don't leave anything on exchange as much as possible. So there was a timeframe when you buy something or when you can actually take it off, usually about 24 to 40 hours. And I just do it every day as much as I possibly can. And the next one where I talk about taking profits, I took some big profits and I always talk about diversification. I do that for a reason to protect myself.  Maybe in 10 years, maybe Bitcoin is the world reserve currency and the Bitcoin maxes are correct. Maybe Ethereum is the underpinning for all the different aspects and all different businesses globally and all the ETH maxes are correct. I don't know. I don't know, I can't say for certain. So what I do is I diversify. So I take profits along the way. I still have my crypto. I have real estates. I have long-term rentals and short-term rentals. We still do a little bit of the Amazon business. We still do the staking with crypto. And of course, a couple of things we use iTrust. I use iTrust, not my wife, she doesn't wanna do it. iTrust capital for Roth IRA because it's tax free. That's what Peter Thiel did. And then I use Masterworks. I've got two paintings. I mean, they're fractional shares of paintings. One is a Banksy and one is a Basquiat. Couldn't tell you what a Basquiat is. Don't really care. Just know the price goes up because rich people are crazy and they love pieces of art. Anyhow, I'm up like 40% since I bought it in October. But this is what I talk about. I talk about diversification in these things because I don't wanna get trapped and just go, wow, I put everything into Luna and now here I am and will not be that guy.  And I'm just gonna do what I wanna do. Do what we wanna do, much dead. All right, SPF being on Connors? No, I don't really think so. I think you try to do the best thing that you could and didn't work out. But you know what? Here's what's great. There's a saying in crypto, don't trust verify, right? Don't trust verify.  I don't leave my crypto on there. I take it off and that's it. It's just a transaction to me. It's not emotional, it's nothing else. I mean, FTX is pretty cheap. I'll be honest with you. So I don't really care what it is. I'm just here to do my business and move on. Rob, can we still donate to PR? Absolutely, definitely. After that, you know, last hurricane, we've had a lot of problems here with electricity and people need roofs. So there is a link in the description for protechos and they are a nonprofit organization. They're the ones that I donate to and they build roofs for people who are low income and it's an important service. I mean, have you ever not had a roof?  And you can't get anything. And it's just all, and everything comes unusable.  So these are important things to consider to donate to. Again, link is at the very top of the description. I don't want them too big to fail. Yeah, me neither. Traders Paradise. Please like and subscribe, Bikki says. Hello from sunny Florida, construction site. Oh yeah, Jeff. Probably got his ear buds on. So Shravan Bingi says a good point. Well, today CZ's news markets are sure recovered. True. Do you think that market will go down again in the coming weeks or months? I think they would have gone down drastically if FTX would have gone down and SAB wouldn't have reached out to CZ and goes, man, we need help. Everybody here would have lost a lot of value in their portfolio. Whether you would have sold or not is up to you, but it would have happened and it would have changed everything, the trajectory. With Sam doing what he did today, it saved a lot of your portfolios. I'm just saying, that's just the truth.  But by him reaching out and CZ agreeing to it and doing these things, this saved a lot of things. Now, does that mean that we can't go down? There's a lot of uncertainty. There's a lot of uncertainty. So I can see, yes. However, hey, isn't today Super Tuesday? Today is the day for everybody to vote here in the United States for their favorite congressmen and women and senators. So we'll see. Republicans will probably week out or eke out a bunch of victories and probably the Senate and House representative will both flip, I think. That could be wrong, but that's good because now we can actually get some things done. I don't think it's Democrats. I don't really care.  But it's better when you have a little bit of division and you can actually get things done. Just true. Just a quick reaction to the news, back to normal. Jesse, is he doing anything? Yes, I love this place. It's awesome. I don't know where you're at, but here it's 76 degrees every day, between 76 and 82. Lucas says, Sam Bakemann Fried was the only person propping up Solana. That's not true. James does it. I'm just kidding, James. Ah, SPF was doing a great job with Solana. That is true. Now what's propping up Solana is that, you know, Lucas is a developer of some sort. You can answer this better than I can, but for Solana to be accepted for Google, Google Cloud Service, and then also they're gonna be using Facebook or Meta. It's gonna be using them for minting and selling NFTs on Instagram. It's pretty big. So that kind of helps. If it wasn't for those two things, I would probably agree with Lucas. Twitter is spicy right now. Twitter's, when is Twitter not spicy? Yeah, James is probably swimming in the back. If James is going live right now, I'd be shocked. I'm pretty sure he's trading like crazy. Simon is saying FDX should launch Kelvin. If everybody doesn't know, Kelvin is the new business model that Celsius is trying to do and it's not gonna work. Here's the thing. I need to play that video. Can I play it? Yeah, let me find something. So I know people will think that Celsius is going to reorganize and that's gonna be like the end all be all and it's gonna be awesome. That's not gonna happen. And it's just, it can't. There was, let's see if I can find this. I can't find it. Shoot, what was it? This was from the Voyager UCC comments. And I cannot, God, sorry my thread is flooded with the FTX issues, which makes sense. I wanna find this one second, everybody. One second. I know where I get it from. Hold on. So listen to this.  I think that's true. First of all, the American government is not gonna allow it. The Celsius token itself is a security and they're gonna say that, but this is the bigger issue. See, Voyager tried to do the same thing. And they talked to their legal counsel and they said, you're not gonna be able to come back from this. And the reason is because of this. Let me play this video. So this was the Voyager UCC Town Hall about the opportunity for Voyager to come back and just reorganize. And this is one of their legal counsel talking. So just take a listen, let me. Mainly because, yeah, there's always different permutations and different flavors that bankruptcy cases take. But specifically, I think what you're suggesting is that there may have been a way to sort of save the Voyager platform such that we didn't need to liquidate, which agreed. This basically is a liquidation. I mean, FTX is essentially acquiring customers and they happen to also be monetizing the crypto. There's no question there that that's effectively what's happening. The problem with, and this really goes to the standalone plan concept. Some of you may have heard that term being thrown around at the beginning of the case. That was the initial plan that the debtors had filed which basically called for Voyager to continue. What you have to understand, this is public information. You can look it up on every state's website. Voyager did not have the appropriate regulatory licenses that they needed to operate their platform in a number of states. And that is why a number of states, including New York, are investigating the company and probably some of the individuals. I don't know what they're doing exactly. It's the states that will do what they want. But it basically made it so that it would be virtually impossible to reorganize this company because you had a company that was operating illegally. They didn't have the licenses that they need to operate. And once you've already gone down that path, you can't just fix that and get the licenses. The states are gonna come after you. And so from our perspective, from the committee's perspective, there really was no way to sort of save the Voyager platform as you know it today because of this regulatory overhang. That was the big concern. I'm not sure if your Dell example was directed at some other construct, but if it was how we could have used creative crypto organizations like Dallas to sort of save the existing Voyager, it really wouldn't have worked. Okay, does that make sense? No, it makes sense. It makes perfect sense. You basically have another Voyager with states coming after them. Right, right, right. Yeah, well, I mean, what you just highlighted was news to me that they were operating illegally. Yeah, that's it. So again, I think we all know about the cease and desist from the different states here in the U.S. for Celsius and Voyager was right behind them.  Could be wrong. Let me know in the comments, but that's that. Moving on, what else we have here? Yeah, Gullfer's got the good point. Everyone's in love with Binance till they're the only one left. So yeah, that's how it's gonna be. And unfortunately, I think like again, just depends on like how long before it's a monopoly, how long before they can keep doing whatever they wanna do. These are the questions I asked. And then also now I gotta start using Binance U.S. So whatever, I still use Coinbase. Oh, I think they're still like Gemini. Yeah, you can still use that. Sailboi says, you must watch the Basquiat documentary. I will do that. Yes, RoboGenics. Yeah, thank you. There we go. Where's the reply from CZ? I don't know. SBF Pinocchio. Yeesh. So which one exchange do you trust? Heidi says, that's a great question, Heidi. You know which one I trust? None. And that's why I take all my crypto off. Very simple. I don't trust any of them. I just go for the ones they provide a service. I get to buy my crypto. I get to take the crypto off. Everybody's happy. Mm-hmm. Because James is okay. James is just fine. Look, the price for Solana still is the same. Just went up a little bit and went down. Hello, meme. Nice to see you again. Yeah. Rob followed your rules. Made some nice money on Luna. Yeah, I did too, until I lost everything. I took profits on Luna, but I started to delicose average again and lost all that. Taking out first my original investment. Perfect. Then taking profits. Sounds good as we bounce along. Finally losing a bit of profit as I was traveling when it went wrong. Yeah, I mean too. So again, I can't give you financial advice. This is just the things that I hear that work out pretty well for me. Yeah, I judge as the same thing. Why are we calling SPF the devil when he swallowed his pride and take care of investors but give Alex a pass? Alex literally calls people to take their own lives. Alex literally calls people down. Yeah, exactly. I don't give Alex a, no, not in this channel. Alex Michenski knew what was going on and you can see, let me pull this up. I think I had this question today. Let me find it. This is from Keith at CHAZZONKE. I should follow him. 13 year log, oh wow. 13 year logistician specializing in transportation, analytic analysis, business development, financial strategy. My hobbies are gaming, tech and econ. And this was just today. Cause I asked the question, cause I was asking the question about the Celsius short squeeze. I just don't get it. You know, why are we still doing this short squeeze? This guy, Johann says, dig a little deeper. Robin Michenski, insiders can't sell. Their tokens are locked up in the app. 95% of sell is locked up. Which is true. And then Keith answers it. The short answer is yes. If they withdrew from their platform prior to the freeze, such as these folks, unless we know their address is hard to determine if they did sell. But here's the thing. My question is this. Do you really think, I'm just gonna ask the question, do you really think Alex had no idea that his entire platform was about to implode? We know he already took off $10 million before it crashed. Do you think that he knew a little bit more before those 10 days? Maybe two weeks. Maybe a month. Maybe three months. Again, when he was on my show, two months before the collapse, he said, actually no, no, no. Even before that, he was on Stansbury Research. See, someone's trying to block me. He was asked months ago, what do you think the market is going? He said by the end of 2020, he said by the end of 2022, we're gonna reach all-time highs across the whole board. The market cap's gonna be huge. And everybody's like, what are you talking about? And the reason he had to say that was because he didn't want people doing a run in the bank, taking all their funds out. So if you're gonna tell me that you think that he didn't take more of it off or he didn't know what was going on, you're out of your mind. So again, I asked the question, why is a Celsius short squeeze? And they said, well, we're doing this because to punish the people who are shorting Celsius, which would be the Sand Bakeman Frieze and things like that. Okay, so they did this. They did this multiple times. Where are we? Celsius now ranked 105 for some reason on the why it's even ranked. So look, short squeeze probably right here. So, okay, congratulations, direct everybody. Okay, did it again, went down, maybe did a little bit here. You know, here we are, a little bit pumped here. So my question is, how long are you gonna keep punishing, you know, whoever it is that you're trying to punish? And I said, no, no, you don't understand because we're trying to keep value into the Celsius token and just keep going along and keep that Celsius dream alive. I just showed you why I don't think the Celsius organization is gonna work, which means I don't think the Celsius token is gonna work, which is I still think it's a security moving forward. Again, you guys can do whatever you wanted to do, but I still think you're doing exit liquidity for Moschensky and Co. Moving forward. And then people will say, well, you know, was there that many? Yes. That many addresses. Here's a part of it. And then looking for today's market cap just was listed here between 90, 30% total supply to insiders withdrew from app and had a control of. This doesn't include employees who got except for them. They could have withdrawn early as well. There was another one somewhere around here, which it was going on even before that. And, ah, this one. Keith again, I asked the question, like how long did they know? He said they knew pretty much every leader on the sofa was pulling out at the same time, shuffling in the custody accounts, Reddit withdraws, blue deposits. I've covered the financials fairly extensively. So you're welcome to read my past media covers. Reddit withdrawals. Hold on. Yeah, Reddit withdrawals. Excuse me. This goes back to 2021. Do-do-do. Look at these outliers here. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. So just saying. Just, I'm just asking the question. Let me know what you think about that in the comment section. Bobby shouts. Off ramps are disappearing. Exactly, Bobby. This is the thing that does concern me. I mean, you can go to a Bitcoin ATM, but I'm not for sure. Somebody said that you can do it on limited one, on certain ones, but you have to have certain SIM cards. I'm not gonna play that game. Adios meme. Do your thing. So I'll just finish the big comments in Portugal. I guess the outcome must have been flowing. Mastermind. Very good. Hello from Fiatmine in Pennsylvania. Self-custee equals no counterparty risk. That's very true. Meta is using Sol? Yes. They're going to allow, not Meta, but the company that Meta owns, which is Instagram, it's going to allow Solana for NFT minting and selling. And you can check out Meta's Twitter account. I'll show it to you. Joe and Chow, always good question. So the country is shutting Bitcoin miners because of energy crunch is next. Where is the FTT and Sol take a huge dump?  All I got to tell you, like Sam Bakeman is not as arrogant, near as arrogant as, who is the lunar founder? That guy. Hi, welcome. Name escapes me for some reason.  And Sam wasn't that bad. I didn't see too much of it. But as far as what Jay and Chow are talking about, there is different bills trying to be passed in different parts of the United States for to eliminate Bitcoin miners because of the energy consumption. Now this is a nationwide in the US. This is just select areas. That's about it. Definitely not in Texas. Texas welcomes miners with open arms. I'd like to see some miners here in Puerto Rico. The electricity is super expensive though. And the only way it would work, I think would be solar. We got nothing but sun here, baby. Voyager is not DeFi. Voyager is not DeFi. And maybe meant to say dead DEAD instead of DeFi. Yeah, that is funny.  Makes you, I think this is a good lesson for everybody, right? Is that as smart as you think you are and as sure as you think you are, I've done this before in the past where I thought that Bitcoin was definitely going 150K. Remember that price prediction? Wrong. Remember a theorem to 10K? Wrong. Remember the VGX token to $30? Wrong, wrong, wrong. I did get a couple. I did, Cardano, I thought I'd go to three, it did. Stayed up, I would go above 10, went to 15s in a minute. But it doesn't matter. However right you think you are, there's always a percentage of you're wrong.  I screwed that one up, but I'll try to be better next time and go from there. That's it, it can't be perfect. FTT is dumping hard. Oh yeah, if you got FTT token, sorry. Sorry for you guys. Let's see. I don't like to dance in people's graves, but I'm just curious. It's only down, that's not bad. It's only down 36% in an hour. Wow. All right, now it's 24 hours, excuse me. Whoa, look at this. Holy smokes, today's the eighth, right? Yeah, once that announcement, oh, son of a gun. Once that announcement came out of Pete, and people just started to dump on you. Look at that, the 22 bucks, $15, that's a bummer. That's a good one. I can see the US government investing in Binance because of the city nationality. Lord Smith, FTX US, I think so. I mean, you can still withdraw. I don't know if it's FTX and FTX US in that. That's a good question. Hello, Rob, thanks for this good comment. With all the issues that seem to be finally fragile on their stand, what are your thoughts about Nexo? I don't know, I don't use Nexo. I don't have any ties to it. I don't really know what's going on with that one. All they can say is be cautious of everything. Just like when we saw with Luna and Three Ores Capital, it was a contagion and it started to ripple throughout the entire crypto sphere. So we're on a bear market. We're seeing exchanges become insolvent. So just remember that your favorite exchange or platform is not safe. There's a big difference between the exchanges. Again, the platforms and the crypto projects themselves. Crypto products have nothing to do per se with the centralized exchanges, unless of course it's a utility token like an FTT or a Binance coin or a VGX token. So just be aware. That's all I'm trying to say. Jane's got a good point. For all we know, CZ is having trouble operating the US based on the SEC investigation last year. We're looking to get out, FTX goes to Binance and FTX US will acquire Binance US. Anything is possible. Yeah, it's true. We'll see. Doquan, that's what it was. Couldn't remember his name for some reason. Who's buying Soul? I bought some this morning probably because usually my, it's not true. I have these DCAs that get set off every day or every week, the thing on the crypto. I can't remember which one I did on that one. It shifts. Norman says, Mishinsky must be hard to have on the show and not be mad at him or whatever. He will never be on the show again. Why is Coinbase not working? Don't spread FUD unless it's verified. Hopefully Coinbase is still working. If someone used their Coinbase account until it's working, I don't think I could take another exchange collapsing today. Didn't Witterhint, Texas and Powerstop? Yeah, but that was like a 30 year storm, if they understand and the infrastructure was weak and they shored that up. That's what they say anyhow. So the issue is an electricity. We have tons of solar and wind, natural gas and of course oil, Texas. So the problem wasn't the electricity availability, it was the infrastructure within the electrical grid. And they went to repair that. Looks to be pretty good. And also remember that if there's a big, huge strain on the grid in Texas, the electric companies pay the miners to shut off their rigs and they gladly do it because they get paid for nothing essentially. So that's why Texas is, I think is leading the charge for Bitcoin mining. Breaking news, Ben acquires digital asset news. That would be a horrible acquisition for Ben. Let's see. Did anyone watch Ben's live site last night? I didn't see it. They laid cells at the end of the space. Yeah. Uh-oh, Solana's in a free fall. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da Solana. Where'd it go? Oh, there it is. Shoot, it is going down. That's not that bad. Probably want to see what I'm looking at. Solana. Yeah. Remember, $27, oh, it's going even lower, $26.05. That was 25, 73 in the early morning hours. So not a big deal. Let's, when in doubt, zoom out, right? In seven days? Okay, not that good. 14 days. It does look pretty bad. This, so when in doubt, zoom out. And now you have no doubt. Solana's eating concrete. Yeah, it's pretty bad. Oof, let's see, about one year. Oof. Well, okay. Let's do the max. See, that's not so bad. I'm just kidding, it is bad. $255, you wouldn't see that price since July 2021. Interesting. So yeah, oof, that's not going to be good for Solana holders. It's all because of Sam. Here's the big question then. If Solana's going down so much, was there a, how do I word this without people? I'll just say it. So with Solana going down like this, is this because of the problem with the tech? Was there a hack? Did it go down? Again, was there something that's, you know, with upper management? Did, you know, the project itself? No, but one of the biggest backers is just got insolvent. So I guess that would be it. The question then would be, do you still believe in Solana enough to keep buying it now that Sam is out the picture? Is that for you to say, not for me? Finance will get ready out of the U.S. Will that be good for Kraken and Gemini and Coinbase?  That's great. Then I can put a tweet out and say, this is your last opportunity to buy Bitcoin below 20K.  Ah, VPN's on the U.S. just saying. Yeah, unless you wanna connect your Roku. I tried it that last night, could not do it. Ah, perfect. Kraken, thank you. I appreciate you. Coinbase is working. I just put in three buys. Well, three buys, yeah. Yeah, we'll take your money. Minus fine Coinbase. All right. I have 6K if FTX falls to four bucks. See, it's a ballsy play. Kucoin is good. I like Kucoin. FTT is dumping. Ah, Coinbase is not working. It's having connection issues. Coinbase is fine. Just put 10 bucks in Bitcoin. I guess it depends on where you're at. Coinbase is up and running. Only fans is up and running, that's good. Is the Voyager acquisition still gonna happen? No, probably not. But it depends. Edwin, it's not pretty bad. It's astronomically bad, dude. Is it? Again, is it?  You know, be astronomically bad would be a global depression. You know, be astronomically bad is just a meteor speeding for Earth that's gonna wipe us all out. That would be astronomically bad. This is just Tuesday. So, not as bad as I think it is. He's okay, James is all right. I'll send him a text right now if everybody wants to. I think he's okay. He's probably buying up a ton, who knows. Who's buying FTX when it goes to zero? Good question, not me. I never bought it when it was up anyhow. LuxoCat, good one. This Binance FTX situation is only a letter of intent. What if that falls through? Well, if they do diligence, then this is a great point, Luxo. If they do their due diligence and Binance comes out and says, you know what? This is not in our financial best interest. We're gonna pass on this deal. Then you will see a pretty massive drop in the entire crypto market. That's what it is. Maybe Garth Soloway is right again and Bitcoin does go to 3K. Not to scare anybody, but that could be another black swan event. Again, does it really matter in the long run? Was there a double spend on Bitcoin? Was there a hack on Ethereum?  Bye-bye, SPFU Democrat. Soloway is still here because of Sam. Who knows if Sam is in trouble? I don't know. No, Garth Mike, my man. I just transferred out around 600 algo from Coinbase to a cold wall. All is fine for now, see? And there you go. 8K will be the lowest for Bitcoin? Yeah, maybe. No, just try Coinbase and got we're having connection issues. Drew Sragorn later. See, this is the thing, if you guys just take your crypto off the exchanges, not as like a panic rush like everybody's doing now, you can be like, like me, just like, well, good thing I did that. Just show up, write uniform, make it work. And that's it. And to finish this up, we've gone over an hour now. This is way too long. Lori's got a good point. It's irresponsible, both CZ and SPF to have this public alteration. We are their customers and they cause us to lose a lot of money. Could be. And that's it. This, I'm gonna end up with this with Tyler. SPF is going into insolvency issues, does not bode well for his, for this proposed crypto legislation. For his legislation, true. Senate will be hard pressed to listen to him now. Not only that, but think about it this way. If FTX does go down and CZ financed, and they say, you know what, if we filled a letter of intent, we thought it was gonna go good, but with the financials, dude, I do diligence and it's awful. Can't do it. It collapses. How fast do you think the government's gonna be like, okay, it's time to regulate. It's time to really crack down these exchanges. I mean, really, really crack down because we've seen Voyager, which state by state, we had cease and assist letters of Voyager. Celsius collapsed. Again, state by state, not all states, but we had a lot of cease and assist letters from the attorney generals. We need to regulate. And if FTX goes down, that's the trifecta, and that's gonna be really bad for this crypto market. Does that mean it's gonna collapse and go to zero? No, for me, just another opportunity because I gotta tell you, as bad as things are, I lived through the 2008, 2007, eight and nine financial collapse and everybody back then thought we were never gonna get out of it, it was gonna be the worst thing ever and we're gonna be in the dark ages. We didn't. Took a time, took two, three years, got out of it, and then we went through what? And then an economic expansion last over a decade.  That's true. I will not sugarcoat it, but as time goes on, I'll just be staying on the course and of course, you can be along with me and see what happens. That's it. So look, everybody, we went really long today. Thanks for sticking with me. I appreciate it. If you liked today's video, give it a thumbs up, consider subscribing. A lot of things to talk about are time sensitive as you clearly have figured out. And that's it. So thank you so much, guys. I appreciate it. And I'll see you guys on the next one. Adios. Have a good rest of the day.


work ranges from community activism to environmental policy and design and pedagogy, and for the past 20 years or so, Matt has dedicated himself to creating and managing networks that transform systems for a sustainable, just, fair and hopeful future. Matt is currently the executive director of the Breathe Collaborative, a clearing house for information on air quality in northeast US. Prior to that, Matt has served as program director of Sustainable Pittsburgh, where he created Pittsburgh's Sustainable Business Network. Matt has been teaching sustainability and environmental policy at Heinz College, Carnegie Mellon University since 2008, and I first met Matt when he was my professor for a class on community sustainable development. And then he also became my mentor as part of the Urban Land Institute competition, where we've made it to the final round. Matt has published multiple peer reviewed articles on sustainability, design and education and has co-othered the book called Ethical and Environmental Challenges to Engineering. So you can guess that he is an engineer, his background includes a PhD and a master's in system engineering, as well as a bachelor's in aerospace engineering from the University of Virginia. Matt, I'm super delighted to have you with us today. I'm so inspired by work and I hope our students, I'm happy that our students will have the opportunity to become inspired as well today. And with this maybe Rim, would we enable Matt to share his screen? Thank you. Can you see that? Great. Thank you, Professor Lola. I really appreciate being invited to talk to the architecture school at Columbia University. It's quite an honor to be invited to give this talk, so I appreciate it very much. But I, the only real request that I have is for people to not be shy about asking questions. So I have the chat up and can follow, follow that, whoops, I think we lost my screen there. There we go. There we go. Okay. I have a question, you know, you can feel free to type it in the chat and, you know, I'll take them. We have time at the end for it, but I also can take some questions as we go along. So what I wanted to talk, my talk is stories and sustainable community development because part of this story is my own journey in learning about this, this field that's emerged now about resilient and sustainable communities, cities, and, and cultures. And it really has been a journey of discovery for myself because these things didn't exist 25 years ago. So I want to tell a little bit about my own journey and story and interweave it with some of the work that I've done. And then, you know, we'll talk about some of that as well too. So as Professor Lola said, I am the director of the Breathe project. We are a clearinghouse of public health and science information to address the poor air quality that continues to exist in the greater Pittsburgh region and the Ohio Valley Appalachian region. And I'll talk more about that in a second. And I also, as Professor Lola said, teach classes in sustainable community development and environmental policy at Heinz College. This is an image from the 1950s of Pittsburgh. You can see downtown Pittsburgh here, and you can see the riverbank of the Mon River. This happens to be a U.S. steel site that made pipe and sites like this lined both sides of the river valley, extending about 40 miles upriver of the Mon River, which is the most heavily industrialized place in southwestern Pennsylvania and really post-World War II, almost the most heavily industrialized zone in North America. And part of my being drawn to this was that I grew up in a period where I did see scenes like this when I was very young. But I also saw how these scenes changed very quickly from being... So this is an aerial view that's just across the river from the image I just showed you where there was a coke plant. Coke is where they bake coal to drive off impurities, use the coke gas as fuel, and then the carbon from it is used in steelmaking. And so this is a major coal production, a coal-coking operation. And that by the early 1990s, it was basically abandoned facilities. And the period of time from about 1985 to about 1995, most of this industry disappeared. The unemployment rate was in the high 30%, particularly in the Mon Valley. And many people were displaced from Pittsburgh. And Pittsburgh was left with a toxic legacy of abandoned brownfield sites that span the river for miles. And so in 2004 there, you can see where they kind of cleared off a lot from that site. And so the sustainability journey for me is partially from living through a period of time that involves essentially a cultural collapse and industrial collapse and a change in way of life that left the toxic legacy. Here is a picture of more recent times where you can see downtown Pittsburgh. You can see this building where the University of Pittsburgh is. And then the Koch works, they've removed everything except for the scaffolding. And they're trying to redevelop this site, which is essentially a 450-acre site where that Koch works was. And so part of my coming to this was my undergraduate education was in aerospace engineering, but I also was very interested in the history of invention and history of technology and worked on a number of projects to study both the social structures of how innovation happens and the cognitive structures for how innovation happens by studying how inventors do their work. And I did a lot of project work with Thomas Edison and the competitive environment that he was in for various inventions. And in fact, my first job before graduate school was at Rutgers University working for the Edison National Historic Site in trying to understand more about how research labs function and how social innovation followed technological innovation and vice versa. Part of that work is what drove me to graduate school. So after working in the defense industry for a while in large-scale systems, my graduate work, my project idea was to study structures of how innovation happens in complex systems. And I did this at the University of Virginia in systems engineering. And on a whim, I was told to go have a meeting with the person depicted in the lower right-hand corner there, who happened to be the Dean of the Architecture School of the University of Virginia at the time. His name is William McDonough. He's now world famous after writing several books on sustainable design and so on. But at that time, really, he was just starting out. And I met with him about this idea of creating things that go into buildings, products that go into buildings and designing them in ways so that they don't unleash harms on human health or the environment. And so my graduate work was in this model of how this idea of sustainability could be used as a driver of innovation in industrial processes. And, you know, I was motivated by this to see if something like this could be brought back to Pittsburgh, my home, to try to heal some of the things that existed there. And so this project, I had published a number of studies on this, on how the manufacturing in this textile mill located in Switzerland that was essentially going to disappear because of competitive pressures, much like what happened in Pittsburgh, except they used the environment as this differentiator, built a new market and were able to thrive and win all sorts of awards for that work. You know, at this time in 1993, 1994, the idea of a green product itself was a novel concept and having it be part of the manufacturing system was also quite new and exciting. And so that's what propelled me into the sustainability work. And so I moved back to Pittsburgh and got interested in well, actually, before we jump back to Pittsburgh, I also continued looking at other models of innovation and went to a really inspiring talk in the year 2000, when I was finishing my PhD by a historian of technology. His name is Tom Hughes. He's now deceased. He worked at the University of Pennsylvania studying systems of innovation as well. And he asked at a meeting of historians and engineers in the year 2000, this really, this question looking back over the prior century of what would be the greatest invention of the 20th century. And what, you know, people responded with things you might expect like space travel, rockets, computers, mass manufacturing of automobiles, refrigeration, generation of vaccines to respond to disease, penicillin. And Tom Hughes gave this really provocative answer to me that was really what was invented in the 20th century. The greatest invention was the ability to build and manage large scale research and development systems. And that's, that's kind of a mouthful. But really what he was saying is that the ability out of which our culture enabled the ability to solve lots of scientific and technical problems simultaneously and therefore enable the construction of many complex systems after World War II is really what changed the world. There were two key pieces to this. One was being able to be on top of multiple development projects, likely was exemplified by the Atlas rocket program, where they had to figure out how to invent combustion, how to invent the structures of rockets, stability and attitude control systems, the telemetry and the tracking systems and so on. All of those needed to be solved at the same time. And that's a management coordination. But it's only possible when you pair that up with information technology. So on the right is project whirlwind, which was the first computer really that you could program all electronically and have it be practical. This used, the key innovation here was these boards that you see here are memory boards where there were little ceramic donuts at the intersections of different wires and that would hold magnetic charges in strings of 32 corresponding to a 32-bit computer system. Prior to that, they were using punched cards, paper tape, vacuum tubes that would break all the time. So this really became the first practical, programmable, large scale computer system. You can see it occupied an entire room, probably had less computing power than the phones in our pockets that we have. But these things enabled the construction of many large scale systems that were unleashed on the world as a result of that. So this is the internet, a map of the nodes of the internet. Large scale construction processes that enabled the construction of many highways. The space program itself and all of the defense industries incumbent upon that. This is showing Project Sage, the early warning system that was critical during the Cold War that monitored in the case of nuclear attack and nuclear technology as well as well. So if you look at the 20th century, because these capabilities were unleashed, our world completely changed. It coincided with the expansion of cities into suburban areas, mass manufacturing automobiles and its infrastructure, the way mass housing was manufactured and distributed. And it really shaped our cities, it shaped our suburban communities, and it shaped the way work happened itself, it shaped universities, and it really was a transformative event. This is a photograph of a ring road around Beijing from a couple of years ago. These ideas have now spread worldwide. These capabilities now exist on every continent and are becoming supersized. So you can see the impact here. This is a depiction of a traffic jam that lasted for 57 days in Beijing in the year 2015, which also highlights in some ways these systems, they are fragile and if they go into certain modes of operation and can cause problems. We're experiencing that currently with the pandemic as well too, that the fragility of many of our systems are revealed because of the presence of a virus that these systems really were not ever designed to be robust during. And these systems have grown and one of the key things they've resulted in is mass urbanization. That Rome was the first million person city in the Western hemisphere. It took 1800 years for London to reach that level. We have over 414 of them today in the world and within the next 20 years, that number will more than double. And these systems have huge metabolisms. And so we're seeing things like 50 to 150 species per day being lost, 18,000 to 55,000 species per year. So, you know, the scale of these systems are hard to contemplate sometimes. So I like the artwork of Chris Jordan to try to capture some of that. And so this one called light bulbs is a depiction of, what is it? It's 426,000 light bulbs, which is the number of kilowatt hours that are wasted per minute in the United States. And this one is called packing peanuts that it's 166,000 peanuts, which is the number of overnight packages that are moved around per hour in the United States. And then this one is cell phones. This one is 300, sorry, 424,000 cell phones, which is the number that are discarded in the United States every day. This one is containers that reflect the number of containers that are offloaded on the shores of the US every second. So these systems are huge and have huge impacts. And so that inspired me to try to work at scale. And so I built a couple of programs in Pittsburgh to try to get businesses, more businesses adopting sustainable technology. So I'm just going to go through this quickly. This is a program that ran for five years. And it was to try to inspire companies to take action to save money and save energy and water. You know, we marketed this at one point, we had about 112 different businesses participating. They're of all different scale and sizes and so on. So we're part of this and, you know, we track their actions. Some of them were related to equity. Some of them were related to energy efficiency, water mitigation and so on. And so it resulted in, you know, tons of landfill waste reduced in one year this was 436 tons of landfill waste increased in diversion rate. We saved electricity 112 million kilowatt hours. Over those four years that's enough for about the power of the homes of 10% of the city of Pittsburgh, and valued at around $9 million. If you include the social cost of carbon, you're up to about $10.1 million in savings from that the CO2 that was reduced. The savings enough to fill our stadium 93 feet deep. And then air quality savings as well too. And we have problems with particles in the region. And so that's, this is a good thing to track how many pounds were kept out. So we have boards from recite made from recycled materials, you know, to different businesses that participated in the region.  But what this competition never really addressed were issues that are called material issues. Material issues go beyond just operational issues. They go to what the product is that that company makes or what that key services that they produce. And there are sustainability issues associated with that. And the global reporting initiative requires what are now known as materiality assessments that reflect the interests of the, the ability of that business to perform, as well as how what the impact is on various stakeholders. So, there's always now happening a materiality assessment of how businesses do their work. And you can see that there are these maps that are produced on different environmental social and governance related issues of different scales and different priorities. Well, we did this and incorporated that into our work and launched a program called CEO for Sustainabilities in Pittsburgh. And what we found was that there were some common topics that multiple businesses throughout our region needed to identify it as key topics. And one of those topics here this is just showing the Bloomberg terminal for how they track some of these things. What we found was that air quality emerged as a regional problem that the air quality in Pittsburgh, multiple businesses found were material for the success of their future as well as the success of our region. And so that's why we launched the brief project. It emerged out of this need to address the material lagging nature of our region's inability to have high quality air. It leads to shorter lives. It leads to misery. It leads to unpleasant community experiences. It leads to an ability to attract talent and retain talent. It leads to a bad reputation for the region. And so that's why we launched brief project. The collaborative is the collection of 42 organizations working together to address air quality in southwestern Pennsylvania. We've aligned our work with the UN development goals so that by addressing some of these air quality and human health issues, it maps on to the ability to meet the sustainable development goals which our city has adopted as a framework for us. So I just want to talk a little bit about air quality now. We still have a very serious air quality problem and adding to it only makes things worse. So some statistics the American Long Association gives us straight Fs for particles and ozone and it's been like that for a long time. The air quality and the air quality index that's rated, you know, green for good yellow for moderates up through red has really been unchanged about two thirds of the time we have not good air in the greater Pittsburgh region. The biggest change for 2020 the preliminary data there is that it's about half the time the air was not good so with people not driving restaurants being shut down and so on. It's improved our air quality, a little bit, not as much as you might think and it's as industrial sources which continue to operate are still problematic. These next set of charts show us how lagging the Pittsburgh region is these are all of the air monitors in the United States and registering whether or not they're complying with the annual average requirements of the US EPA is clean air act for particles PM 2.5 that's 2.5 microns and you can see back in the year 2000 to 2002, most of the country was not meeting that standard, which it happens to be 12 micrograms of particles per cubic meter of air. And we're just going to march forward in time here a bit. So, 2008 you can see some of the monitors coming into compliance. This is by the year 2009. This is up through 2012 now you can see the bulk of the monitors changing. You can see New York's air getting better during this period of time. This is by the year 2015. Now you're at the year 2018. And you can see most of the country now has meeting that standard. And there's one red dot here in Southwestern Pennsylvania outside of California really is where the air is still a problem and so that's another reason why we have to mobilize. And in fact this is a hyper local map that shows the percentile ranking of the monitors in our region with one monitor being ranked at the third percentile that means the air is worse than 97% of the country for particles in the Monogahala Valley I showed you earlier the slide of the river of the Mon Valley. There are still some steel plants that are operating there and cook works that cause pollution problems. This is again showing the air quality index for the different days over multiple years and showing that it really hasn't changed very much 2020 it's gotten a little better but it's still you know 50% not good. These are some electron microscope images of particles that the scale at the bottom is five microns. So these are about half that size. If you think about it about 30 of these fit across the width of human hair. And when you inhale them they go they bypass your lungs defense systems and go straight into your bloodstream and then they can accumulate in tissue and as a result our air has continues to have problems here. If you rank us on a national scale on the average of air in our region. We're at the 11th percentile whereas New York's air comes in at about the 50th percentile so it shows you how far we have to come to to address this issue. And I'm going to skip this. This just based this is a fancy chart that just basically says that every any time you can decrease air pollution it results in saving lives there's no floor to the reduction of that level the more you reduce the more lives you save. And this is showing that our air and mainly comes from industrial sources, unlike other parts of the country where mobile sources make up a lot of our air pollution. So as a result of the particles, we have higher cancer risks, they they're kind that you can see downtown Pittsburgh, the Mon River, this is the Mon Valley where there's still a lot of these industrial operations and this is Neville Island another concentration of industrial zones and they have higher cancer risks that far exceed the the national average the entire county actually is higher than the cancer risks for the country and then this breaks it down by neighborhood showing the percentile. And most of our county is in the 95th to 100th percentile for cancer risk from air toxics as a result of, you know, these pollution problems. And, you know, we've got 1.2 million people in the county the whole the whole Pittsburgh region has about 4 million people, and there are people with different risks that are more vulnerable to air pollution, particularly during coven where we know that that particles result in poor health outcomes to the community. And this this is showing some concentration maps of where the river value valleys and a lot of environmental justice communities are where pollution tends to be the worst. This big red spot here is in that Mon Valley region that identified earlier. So part of our challenge has been that because these particles, you don't really see them. People don't see smoke coming out of smokestacks in Pittsburgh anymore. And so the one of the challenges is just educating people about this problem of air quality that we have. One of the ways we we did that was work with our partners at the create lab at Carnegie Mellon to create an app called smell PGH, which is a crowd source app that can be downloaded for free and anytime anyone would smell a bad smell from air pollution. You can record that on and describe it, rate it, and it gets geocoded on a map. And the circles are the EPA monitors that the data is plugged into. And then it's possible to see other people noticing that smells are pretty bad and the data that's been collected there's been about 40,000 of these reports since this is launched. And there's a strong correlation with smells and air pollution. Your nose is a pretty good monitor. The create lab has now launched this to something that's called smell my city so it can be used anywhere in the world now. And it's been very useful for getting people engaged about awareness about air pollution. And so this is a series of dates. In November that show, you know, a large number of really smelly smell large number of smell reports and red monitors showing that there were emissions of air pollution on those days. This is an image of one of our biggest existing challenges to our era the clerics and Coke works. And I'm going to share with you a video of an event that happened in on Christmas Eve of 2018. Let's see I'm going to put this in my browser and then share that with you so that you can see that. I hope folks can see that. So this is this morning 4am on Christmas Eve. And this is an explosion at that Coke works that removed the entire pollution control system from the operation of this plant. The width of that fireball that you see there is about three football fields long. We recorded on another tool that we have deployed called breathe cams. These are pointed at the region's most polluting facilities where we record their activity 24 hours a day seven days a week. And so our breathe cams captured this explosion I'll play it one more time so that people can see it but these are available for free on our website and people can go if they smell something that's bad. They can go and look to see whether or not there are emissions happening at plants like this. Well this was a very unusual situation with the scale and which this occurred. And so the ability for this Coke works to run any of its pollution control system, and yet they continue to operate the plant in our local air regulator, which resides with our county health department really refuse to shut them down because of the political influence that exists between these legacy industries and and with the community. And so this resulted in an egregious environmental justice event that shortly followed from that I mean we've, we've had issues with this plant, many, many times over many years. This was done by us steel. But this was one of the worst things that I think anyone has seen. So, we noticed, we work with asthma specialists, and what was found very shortly after that so that explosion happened on Christmas Eve, 2018, and by January 15 of 2019. We're already watching the, the, the large numbers of asthma, uncontrolled asthma events and lung fun deep lung functioning decreases occurring in the community of Claritin, where people live adjacent to that plant. And this is again from our cameras that that that gas once that pollution control was taken offline us steel was piping that gas to open flares up on the hillside. This is from across the river about a mile to a mile and a half away from the site so there's a flare here, and then some more flares here I'll zoom in on this. So, just to give you an idea of the scale. This is about five railroad cars long with where they were just burning untreated poking gas, openly in the atmosphere, and they did this for 101 days. So, because action wasn't being taken to shut that plant down, we organize the community to demand that us steel hot idle that that plant and so by the 22nd of January, we've had we held several rallies organizing the community to demand that us stop dumping pollution in on the community. They're about 140,000 people that live within five miles of this coke works. There were, you know, elected officials that were brought into this. And that we had lots of media coverage on this resulted in the state government holding a state government public hearing in the city of Clarkton. And so this is a video. So the state representatives and senators are seated at this table. And this is where the testifiers were sitting. I happen to be sitting right here. Okay, you can't see me I'll show me in a second. What happened this was in the city of Clarkton Hall. You'll notice that there are a lot of people in here in these orange suits. So us steel paid 200 of their employees to go into this room and occupy all of the space to intimidate everybody. And you'll notice, if you look around this room. This community has about 40% of residents are African American residents. And if you look around this room you see, there's really only one African American person sitting here she happens to be a city council person for the city of Clarkton.  What you also can't see is out these doors. There's about an additional 300 community residents mostly African American residents who were trying to get in here and have their voices heard, but it didn't happen. This is my test of testifying before the committee there's a video that's available to watch where we documented how illegal this really is that for them to continue to operate was really grossly out of line. And this is just turning it around the other side. One of the state representative summer Lee, African American woman. The steel workers when she was trying to ask questions, the steel workers were heckling her and making really out of line racist comments during that period of time. And other state reps like this person here. He was a former US steel employee. Now he's installed in state government. This gentleman as well. And so, you know this has been a political uphill battle and in fact, our lieutenant governor who has made national news in the last week about his announcement that he's running for our US Senate seat next year. He actually acted as a cheerleader for US steel at this event to try to deflect some of the political heat that was going on here. So this just goes to show you. And so there have been, I think three federal lawsuits that have been filed over this and they're currently taking testimony on that for you for us deal we believe that the, the, they could be two, I think a hundred million dollars or more because of it being a hundred dollar a hundred, what is a hundred thousand dollars a day per incident over at least a hundred days. It could be some of their fines for this now we'll see how fast it proceeds through the court system. And what this is leading up to is we still have serious air quality problem, and that gives you a flavor of some of our work to push back on that on our existing air quality problems and sources. We also have campaigns on what has emerged also in our region which is additional threats to our air shed from new sources from the discovery of the ability to frack for for natural gas in our region is surrounded by that. So what has happened and this is an image about 30 miles from downtown Pittsburgh along the Ohio River in a town called Manaca, Pennsylvania is where Shell has decided to build an ethane cracker plant that will use the natural gas. This is a almost a 500 acre site, and it is a massive project that has gotten massive subsidies from our state because of corruption. And so we are also organizing community members to speak out about this threat to our air shed and I'll talk about some of the specifics of that in a second and actually maybe I should just pause there because I think we may be running out of time. I can just show their, you know, the different parts of this industry with compressor stations, frack wells, impoundments. These are cryogenic facilities and the shell plant and it's all designed to make those little pellets that they the industry believes they can sell for people. It's also expansion of rail traffic. Right through the heart of the city of Pittsburgh this Pittsburgh line, they're planning on tripling the number of trains going right through the center of the city, putting about 250,000 people at risk. From the railments and explosions, and so on. So, you know, we can talk more about the impacts of this industry, but I think maybe I'll pause there because it gives you an idea of, you know, sustainability operationalize in our region addressing core material issues that impact the health of every single person in Southwestern Pennsylvania. And you know I'm doing this because I want to see the vision of sustainability take hold the landscapes to heal and for us to not go back to doing things the way that we had done them in the past. I'll quickly jump ahead, you know, to this key point that I wanted to make. These are all impacts that we could come back to but you know this is, this was the largest steelworks in North America and the town of homestead along the modern river. You know, we had bet on a high volume, low margin commodity business that left the toxic legacy in the past, and we should know better, and we know that clean energy jobs are a much better employment prospect for the region, and so on. And that's kind of where what our advocacy is on now is trying to shift our region's narrative and leadership away from the toxicity that we seem to have trouble shaking. So I'll pause there, and then leave time for some question and answers, we can certainly jump back to more information and so on so thank you. Thank you, Matt. This is truly inspirational and so important, and the activist work together with your engineering and sustainability knowledge is, is critical to address these kinds of inequities right that happen. I never envisioned becoming an activist. I never thought that that would be what I would be doing but I also never thought I would be teaching sustainable community development. You know, all of these things that my career has followed are things that have just emerged through the, through the immersion in doing the work about what needs to be done, including being here today hopefully trying to get more people interested in this type of work. And I would also assume through their interaction with the community that you have because in your class the community's development. You bring realistic projects from the field you connect students with stakeholders and community champions to produce real work or real contribution design contribution for those communities and I think that's that's that's really transformative and it was for me as a, as a PhD student. I want to open maybe the room for questions from the, from students from the crowd and if not I have several questions I would like to engage a discussion with but maybe if you're free to open your mics big freely comment asks no this is really an open this place for discussion with with Matt. One of the questions that I had relates to to to the original nature of the work because you're showing the work around Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania and, and my question is how is the work applicable to places like New York City to to other locations that you showed that difference of the 10th percentile cleanliness of Pittsburgh versus the 50th percentile, but but still the we all understand today that it is a regional problem that the problem is a problem of community and neighborhoods that are receive the gift of having a plant in their neighborhood so so how do we address that you know across region. The center point of all of this of this whole story and in some of the sustainable community development class work that we do is always the communities needs, it always comes from people in the community, essentially wanting to set their own course that they want to become a healthier place, they want to see their children in schools that are not being polluted, or that, you know we're abandoned, or we're part of an unsustainable financial model 30 years ago but the investments haven't been there, or they live in homes that were built with lead paint. So really it's centered on health as a foundation, because what some of the things we found is that unhealthy situations, they become intergenerational in harming people. You know, in the city of Clariton, we talked with so many people who have lost family members from cancer and respiratory disease and cardiac disease, and that was resulted in such a disruption that in and of itself, it is a burden on people that live there. And that's on top of other burdens that include, you know, racist housing zoning redlining that has occurred there that includes underinvestment, lack of grocery stores, many of the same stories in community justice that you know you read about. So it really is foundational with starting with a community's needs and building out from there we happen to have a stacking up of multiple communities where air pollution is such a big issue that needs to be addressed at scale. I have another question here by Sergio, Sergio do would you like to open your mic and ask the question. So it looks like he's saying, how do you balance equitable ethical design and environmental sustain environmental design, and so on so. Good question. And for many years, the framing of sustainability was on the three or the people planet profit model where, you know, it's a balance of environment equity and economy. Well, what we've learned, I think is that that has the the the problem with that model is you always have to start with a business case. The existing economic system in the past has always been given first billing and equity has always been pushed to the side, or said well we'll come to that once all the environmental issues are fixed. You know, 20 years ago was how that was framed. Now we've turned it all around. You have to begin with with equity and health as a foundation, because none of the other things matter we've seen that with the pandemic right. If you can't have access to health care, or a safe place from a health perspective that none of the other things matter and, by the way, none of those other things end up working. They're all stacked up against people who who happened to not be fortunate enough to sit on the side of the benefits of a lot of these systems. So, in what we're learning is that our economic system fundamentally doesn't work at all now. Some of the things that we've learned about the petrochemical industry, which is, you know, we're fighting in our region, is that the whole business model is messed up. They have lost, in the last 10 years, 300, over $300 billion in losses and have generated no net jobs for any place where they've operated over the last decade.  So, so you have to start from the foundations of what makes what what is the ability for people to live in healthy communities. And then the environment is a key piece of that, because if you're, you know, living in pollution, or don't have access to food. And, you know, that's not sustainable either. So it's health, equity, voice, and then environment, and then the economy emerges from there. The economy is something that gets produced when those things are aligned and it gets communities out from being paternalized, or made to be dependent upon these other sources like large manufacturing companies that are multi nationals that come in and strip the life out of communities and leave them empty that need to be cleaned up 30 years down the line. So that answers your question. That's, that's, that's really interesting. One of one of the things that I was wondering during your presentation, Matt was the, the cameras of the, the, the breathe project and how you capture that those fumes or that fire that caught up and neutralized all the pollution. Or recording or recording systems. If there was not that camera there. Would, would that event not be covered by the media or reported by the plant. No, no, so so what curiously what happened was our health department, which is our air regulator. We posted on Facebook on Christmas Eve, that there was a fire at the US steel Claire and Coke works. No one was hurt. The fires under control, and everything. You know, we're looking into the situation. And that's actually all that existed for about 10 days. And then we started getting these, you know, we didn't even know because it was Christmas holiday. I wasn't watching those cameras over that period of time so we didn't even know. And it was the reports of children showing up at asthma clinics when school started that we knew something was wrong. Then we started seeing the EPA monitoring network where there were exceedances of sulfur dioxide limits, and particles. And hydrogen sulfide which is a byproduct of poking, and we started collecting this data, the health department waited until January 9. So that's almost two weeks later to even let the public know that there was an issue, and they issued an order for people to stay indoors, and that order that order stood until May of that year. There was no other proactive measures to protect people's health, other than telling people that they have to stay inside, and they didn't do anything for that to that company. They hadn't they the enforcement order that they put together hadn't been issued until the end of February, and that ultimately was made moot because the company was going to appeal it. And they said that they would have everything back up online by May, which is what happened. So we have this company that was not held to account the community had we so you know we learned of the data that told us to go look at the cameras. When we saw that it was like oh my goodness. And so then all the media picked that up it actually became a national story. As a result of that. And we've had many other incidents like this so you know I can share some of those too but on average we're getting these eruption events that happen, you know, every couple of days at these facilities that we have these cameras. And now because of the grassroots connection, many people in the communities now know how to use these cameras. And so they collect that, and they posted on Twitter, or on Facebook, or Instagram, and now people are mobilizing and raising and it drives the regulators crazy, because they really aren't interested in doing enforcement, we are needing to build a political upswell to essentially replace our county executive and our county council, so that a board of health that actually cares about the health of people can be installed, you know, New York is fortunate because you have competent people that run such things in your city where health is valued. And I will just say to your earlier question about New York, you know, New York did a lot to clean up its air by by focusing on heating systems around New York, and making them a lot cleaner. And your air quality has improved a lot as a result of those initiatives and in some ways it's an inspiring case for what can be done when public officials recognize the issue and mobilize and do something about it. Yeah, although there are still pockets of problems around the city, but I agree that living in Pittsburgh there were many more days I woke up and smelling the pollution it was more it was more evident although not seen like the skies were blue, but the smell is bad. Exactly. I think your work is as an important reminder that this is not only that this is not happening only in and around Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania but around in and around others major cities and small towns around the US. And oftentimes in, in design we kind of go to a place that is less connected to to those critical problems that are there in the field and we need to remember that. So that's why I think it's, it's an important reminder for students to to remember that these things still happen. This is this inequity this health and pollution problems still exist. Yeah, it's not only something that happened 10 or 20 years ago, it's still there still happening. Yeah. So what I want to share with everyone. I want to share my screen for this. So this is your let me share this. So remember I showed you that that Coke work superstructure at the beginning. This is that site. This is that superstructure was there. It's now has the largest solar array in North America that the well building standard, and all the highest lead standards, and the various public health standards. The most strident ones are being used to define the redevelopment of this site, and it's also being reconnected there's the housing the residential part of the site, which is really what we're worker housing for people who worked at a site like this. The communities being stitched back together again and healed. And there's a lot of work on why air quality is important is that that once these public spaces get developed and designed. People will want to be outside, because it's a beautiful riverfront location now, but the air quality if it's bad is a problem so we're pushing. This is a beach head into the Mon Valley that the Clareton Coke works is about six miles up river from here and the pollution comes right through this valley. And so design this this redesign is very inspiring for how this whole region can be transformed So it's really these things happening together, which is designing new things that are inspirational to the highest standards connected to communities and addressing the material issues that are holding us back. And, you know, my work has been on different parts of that dimension over the past 25 years now I'm on charging hard on addressing these material issues, but it's so that a place like this can thrive and be very successful. Yeah, this is second. Certainly the next phase, waterfront development I've seen in for Pittsburgh because there were several phases of how waterfront remediation and redevelopment has occurred in Pittsburgh right there. That's right. Today, it has evolved from making, you know, big box retail to parking lot and now this mixed use. Yeah, yeah, exactly so the early on I showed you some smoke stacks with Pittsburgh in the background. So that has become a mixed use development area. So that former steel facility is, and that was done well to stitch the neighborhood in with that design, creating a town square a sense of place. It's a very successful mixed use development whereas some of these other brownfield sites that were done earlier. I don't know if you can see well on this side of the river. They're, they're essentially big box type office park buildings that were done in the early, the late 1980s and early 1990s so you know no residential just parking lots and buildings corporate campuses that were there only were accessed by car. So, you know, sort of like version 1.0 with a much more vibrant and active and successful brownfield across the river. This Hazelwood green site happens to be the very last large brownfield site within the city of Pittsburgh borders, and they're really doing everything here. So that this would this will become as it's build out and notice they didn't develop this quickly. They're doing it in phases. It will include aspects of residential, as well as commercial and any industrial be light industrial but it's mostly meant to be commercial special universities and so on at this site so this is a very if you want to read about this particular project it's a it's a fairly inspiring story for all the standards and processes that are here and you can see the infrastructure that they put into place. They're capturing all the storm water, and so on. Matt, thank you so much for sharing your work with us today. I think that's okay. I would share your email with students. So they could reach out to you with additional questions since their project this semester relates to waterfront development so it might be insightful for them to contact you. I'm very happy to do that. You know if this talk was to activists for folks. I understand. I do think it's important for people to know that that is something really the past four years there's been no federal enforcement of any environmental policy. It's really the community activists are the frontline of protection, and it's why some of this work was really necessary to do. Being able to do the design work to good standards and doing it with community needs at the center, the ability to continue doing that work is great and I think we're going to see more of that opportunity as this next generation heals some of the wounds that have been created over the past four years. The big difference now is social justice environmental justice and equity are really central, and it's taken a long time for us to get to where that is the first thing that people need to look at an environment comes in line with that and then economics third in line. So yeah I would welcome any questions. I'm happy to share resources with folks and look forward to seeing you all as your careers evolve and you all end up in places like me that you don't expect doing interesting work. Thank you. Thank you so much Matt. Thank you. Next time in person. Yes, that would be great. I would post pandemic a trip to New York City sounds great. And so good luck all


The Secretary of the Navy spoke at the Senate Armed Services Committee fiscal year 2014 budget hearing April 24th. The Department's 2014 budget request is a return to a measured budget approach, one based on strategy and that protects the warfighter by advancing the priorities that I've referred to as the four P's, people, platforms, power, and partnerships. During the hearing, the Chief of Naval Operation also talked about his tenets. Our fundamental approach to meeting this responsibility remains unchanged. We organize, man, train, and equip the Navy by viewing our decisions through what I would call lens or tenets. And they are warfighting is first, we will operate forward and we need to be ready. Regardless of the size of our budget or the size of our fleet, these three tenets are the lens through which we will evaluate all of our decisions. I'm the Defense Media Activity, I'm Petty Officer Elmara Timberlake.


We've been very concerned by what seems to be an increase in child poverty and obviously this is a huge impact on the pupil's ability to close the attainment gap. Schools can't do this alone so it's important that schools work with local authorities and the Scottish Government to make sure that we get this right. In terms of poverty proofing, we've found that the cost of school uniforms has been a major issue for those in poverty. We also find that the breakfast clubs have been a great assistance to those that are struggling to make ends meet. The other thing that we think is very important is that headteachers get the support that they require to use the extra funding that they get from the Government to make sure that they help to close the attainment gap and help those that are struggling most. You can read our recommendations in full report online. Please follow our links to get this report.
