Welcome to Digital Asset News to get top stories and crypto currents from digital assets and break them down to bite-sized pieces. Today we have more fantastic news for the digital asset market. First up PayPal launches crypto checkout service. And what's great about this is that it's not just the United States, it's actually being rolled out globally. And this I think is one of the catalysts that we need to really push things forward. So take a look at what's going on there. On top of the fact, as everything gets from the public eye, even Saturday Night Live talks about cryptocurrencies as they get into talking about non-fungible tokens, which I'm sure everybody in the audience and everybody that was watching this skit was like I don't know what the heck that means. So we'll take a look at those two things and take a look at yesterday's video real quick as I talk about an update as far as what is going on. And I'll let everybody know that, yes, a little bit hard on Ethereum yesterday, but just realize that Ethereum is still my second top position in my entire portfolio. So we'll take a look at those three things. But first take a look at what's going on the market. So today it is March 30th. It is 8am. We are still in Puerto Rico. I'll be here for the next three, four, five days or so. And it should be a good time. But that does not mean that the market stops just because I am in a different part of the world. This is what's going on in our market. So first up, 1.87 trillion market cap. I think that is an all-time high. I think we've actually hit it, correct me in the comments section, but I know if we hit 1.9, definitely what it is. But that is an amazing thing. We've had some major announcements. I mean, yesterday Visa came out and said, hey, we're going to use USDC, which is on the Ethereum network. I thought it might actually be on the Stellar network because USDC is on both. But we will see if that actually happens. So there are those. There are US patents being doled out. One to Theta. One to Holochain. We'll talk about that in a second. And just really good essential news going on around the globe. So let's see how everything looks as far as the price action.  Today we've got Bitcoin at 59.1. And that is close, if not the all-time high. Of course, we were in this fantastic almost $1.9 trillion market. And even a couple of days ago on Twitter, I said, I think that we're going to hit $2 trillion pretty soon. And hey, we're all just a mere $100 billion away. So that's not too bad. Ethereum up 4% to 1846. Maybe we can hit that all-time high of $2,000. Finance going $296. Theta doesn't really care. Cardano doing pretty good. Pocadot up .3. Everything's up today. XRP. Congratulations, XRP holders. Theta tokens down a little bit.  And now it's in the top 10. Pretty good. And let's see it in. Nothing really fantastic. I mean, everything's up, which is great. I mean, that's fantastic for everybody's portfolio. But there was one that caught my eye. And I was like, wow, well, 14%, we'll be token. Good job. We'll be token holders. But there is one more. Listen right here. Holochain. And it's up 38%, almost 39%, which is pretty darn good. I mean, that's probably the winner of the day, at least in the top 100. So what's going on with Holochain? We'll just see, you know, it was, this was on March 25th, five days ago. But still, I think things get caught up because the news moved so fast. But Holochain was granted a US patent for the R and DHT networking innovations within Holochain peer-to-peer network design implementation knowledge. So we can read the whole, you can read the whole press release. I'll link at the very end. But that is exactly what's going on in the market. So again, you can't get better than that about what's going on. So let's take a look at the biggest way today. And I thought when I woke up, actually, my wife showed this to me. I thought it was pretty interesting as far as what's going on. Because PayPal, what was it? Months and months ago, they had already launched it for, you could buy different cryptocurrencies. You could buy Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin Ethereum. And that was great because it really opened it up.  But they gave you the option to actually buy cryptocurrency. And that's what was one of the big catalysts. And then not more than, you know, a week, two weeks later than you had. Actually, I think three or four weeks later, you had Elon Musk talking about, Hey, I'm going to invest 1.5 billion. So it was a big, huge step up. And this is what happened. So here's what we have. So PayPal started allowing US customers, consumers to use crypto to pay millions of its online merchants globally. And that's, I think, is the big key globally. When they first rolled this out to where you could actually purchase it, it was only in the United States. They kind of give it a trial to see if it was actually going to work. They figured out that, yes, this is going to work really great. And then they rolled it out to everybody. And now here we are with being able to pay for merchants. So this is what happening. PayPal will announce later on Tuesday, that is today, that it has started allowing US consumers to use their crypto holdings to pay it millions of its online merchants globally. And you know what? What else can you ask for? I mean, you've got, I think there is over 38, 308, I think it's actually 384 million different places where you can use PayPal. And now you're going to be able to not just use it for fiat cash, but you're able to use it for everything, which is pretty great.  Here's a statement from the president CEO, Dan Shulman. This is the first time you can seamlessly use cryptocurrencies in the same way as a credit card or a debit card inside your PayPal wallet. Going down, still while the nascent asset is getting traction among mainstream investors, is yet to become a widespread form of payment, due in part to its continued volatility. We think it's a transitional point where cryptocurrency is moving, move from being predominantly an asset class that you can buy, hold or sell, now becoming a legitimate funding source to make transactions in the real world at millions of merchants. The company will charge no transaction fees to check out with crypto and only one type of coin can be used for each purpose. So, lots to unpack there. So like I said, this is pretty great. And I think the big question is, is when people get into buying crypto and digital assets, especially on the PayPal side, I think it was just an opening and an ability for people just to go, wow, this is a great opportunity to buy an asset class that is really being used more for speculation. And nobody really is using it for payments per se. Unless you're Bitcoin cash, people seem to be using that a lot more for smaller payments around the globe than Bitcoin itself. Let's just be honest, nobody's using Bitcoin. Well, we'll say this, very few people using Bitcoin to buy small amounts of $10 or less. And then you've got Litecoin and Ethereum. And I don't think anybody's using Ethereum as far as small transactions, because it doesn't really make sense right now. So when all these things come in, the big question is going to be, are people going to actually use this as far as transactions? Because a couple of months ago, I mean, where were we at? We're at about a $1.1 trillion market cap, and now all of a sudden we're almost at a $2 trillion market cap.  So the question really is, are people really going to use this as a cryptocurrency and not just hold it as a speculative asset as it goes up? It'll be interesting times. Now remember with PayPal, you are not spending cryptocurrency. It'll all be settled in cash. And really the big question I have is, how does this work as far as like, if you were one of the first people to actually purchase, let's say you purchased Bitcoin a couple of months ago when this rolled out. Okay, great. And now that was at, let's say $40,000. And now Bitcoin's almost at $60,000, right? So let's say about $100 worth of that. It went up to $130. Not great on math. Check my math in the comment section. So now you have a capital gains part there as you go up, because everything gets converted instantly into fiat cash. So how does that work with taxes? I wonder if they have something in place that we'll say at the end of the year like, hey, at this point, you converted this from Bitcoin into cash, that is a taxable event.  Again, I think it'll be a tricky situation, but that's why PayPal had to do is do diligence. And they did a lot of acquisitions like they just purchased a curve not too long ago for stability and holding the asset as far as custody. So as far as that part, we'll see what happens. This is an interesting time. And then I think the other big thing is that there's no transaction fees right now. I think they're going to roll this out and see how this works. And I think that'll just kind of get people to go, wow, there's no transaction fees. Maybe this could be like a catalyst to go, well, if I use dollars, then there's a 2.99% plus 30 cents, which is what's when people come to my store or any of my online stores and they buy something, that's how much I have to, I get dinged on. So we'll see if that actually works out. Anyhow, that is the big story for today. I think, again, pretty big catalyst and let's see, this could be a reason on top of Visa and USDC, why we'll probably hit a $2 trillion market cap probably by at least the end of April. Let me know what you think in the comment section. Let's move on to our next piece. The next up is just a quick snippet. And I'm going to link this in the description because I don't want to play the video. It's kind of goofy. But Saturday Night Live, which if you're not from America, it's on every Saturday night around 10.30, 11.30, wherever you're at, and just different skits. And it's been around for decades. And it's one of those mainstream mainstay types of shows. I don't know what the viewership is, but it really hits a lot of people. And when I saw something like this, and I'm pretty sure this was written by Pete Davidson, because he's like the youngest member of the cast. But he just goes over, it's like a about a three minute video, and he's talked about NFTs and what it is. It's pretty funny. But again, one thing is not going to get into the public consciousness. Like, however you came into crypto, yeah, probably was, you didn't just hear about one day and go, you know what, we're going all in. I think it's just a combination, just like sales, like you have to see something seven, eight, 10, 12 times before you actually start to either get it or start to invest into it. So when I see something like this, it's just one more boulder coming down the hill, hitting people and going, hey, this is crypto. And then you might see another commercial from PayPal. Hey, this is crypto. Then you might see something, a little ad pop up on Instagram from Visa, like, hey, this is crypto. And before you know it, it's like everywhere and people just have to really get in. And that's what really leads to mass adoption. So I was excited to see this. I think it's a good thing. Again, just an example of people getting the information into their heads and thinking about, hey, really, what is this all about? And should I be a part of that? And that is why I made this website right here, danteachescrypto.com. It is 100% free. So I can understand most of the things that they really need to understand about as far as crypto and digital assets. So they don't have to like search everywhere. They can just go right there. So if you've already been a member, great. If not, pass on to your friends and family. And now I'm going to think about this as far as mass adoption. Let's move on to our last section. So yesterday, it was a great day, right? Visa came out and said, look, we're going to, you're going to be able to settle things using the USDC stablecoin. Visa, it'll run on the Ethereum network. And that's pretty much what they said. Actually, they really did say, they didn't really say specifically the Ethereum network, but they did say they're going to use USDC. And this has been in the works for quite some time. USDC, the stablecoin put out there by circle. And we had the CEO talk about how great this is. And it is a great thing. It's a great thing. And I just said, look, when this happens, I don't know how great this is going to be because, you know, we have, and from people that actually talked about this in the comment section, they said, look, if you're going to settle things in the Ethereum network, you're going to have to pay some pretty high transactions and it's going to be maybe a little bit of a long time. And then that was just my thoughts about it. And then people said, well, you don't understand, Rob, that there's going to be, you know, batch transactions, they're going to do rollups and everything that's going to happen because this is not going to, not going to happen in one day. It's not going to go from like a flip the switch. This is going to be a slow progress. I'm like, you know what, it's true. That's very true. So what is happening is once they start to do these batch transactions and they can do in a layer two solution, then sure, just like how, and I talked about this in the video is that the final settlement, it doesn't just happen quickly on visa for everything. It's actually takes a day or so and they do like these mass batches. So could they do it on Ethereum? Sure. Is it available right now? No. And that was the whole thing with the new rollups that they're trying to get out, which was pushed back until July. So if that can happen and they can do the rollups, then great, then it's a big win for Ethereum. And I know people were talking about Rob, you're very negative on Ethereum now and you really shouldn't be. Look, let's pull this up. It is not my job to be a cheerleader for each and every crypto and go, you know what, this is going to go to the moon and you got it. And of course, when I say stuff like that, people are like, oh, it's going to moon. I got to invest and make some crazy whacked out price prediction and whatnot. On the flip side, it is also not my job to talk about super negative and like and say like this thing is going to crash, and it's going to go down to the ground. I just bring out the concerns that I have in my mind and then I allow you to do your own research.  You should talk about Ethereum and how great it is. Look, I see some problems with Ethereum and that's how I see a lot of things out there. As a business owner, I've got a look to see where are my shortcomings, how I can fix those shortcomings and how I can give my users or my base a very good experience with my product so they will keep coming back. So with Ethereum, yes, it's doing great things. Yes, we can use it on Uniswap and yes, a lot of things are being built on it. However, it is very early. I think we can all agree on that. So when I talk about something negative about it, I will, nobody gets a pass on this channel. I talk about Voyager and people say, I use the show for Voyager. I talk about how great Voyager is and then some things come up. The waiting list, the KYC, the different fees that come up and when these things happen, what do I do? I reach out to the CEO and go, Steve, you've got to come on because people are really questioning these things and you've got to make these things right. And what happened? Came on, talked about those things. Now, one of the things come up, which there's not as many things have come up lately. We reach out, we see what the problem is and then I ask you if this is going to be resolved. So nobody gets a pass on this, even me. So I am happy that this actually happens to Ethereum. I'm glad this didn't actually go for it. And then just as a reminder, Bitcoin is my highest holding and then next to that is Ethereum and Cardano and they slip around depending on the price right now. Ethereum is a little bit up and Cardano is a little bit down. I don't care which one makes it because I'm an investor. The emotions go out the window. I'm just here to make sure that I make the best investment for him and my family. On top of that, the emotions have to go. So if I see a problem, I go, this needs to be addressed. So if Ethereum has that issue, Cardano has an issue. Cardano, and this might take off a lot of people at Cardano, it's not really, it can't really do much right now because, I mean, the smart contracts are coming, but they are not here. Who is building on it? Nobody's building on it right now because they need the smart contracts. And that was the whole point of the Gogan and the Mary hard fork. So when people talk about like, you're such a Maximus for Cardano. Yeah, I am. Everything in my portfolio on Maximus 4. And it's because I'm biased. I know some people say I'm not biased. They're all biased. So these things that I talk about in my portfolio, it's because I'm biased and I want them all to work. When I see a problem, I call it out. And that's really about it. So look, that's it for today. I just want to go over that real quick and just to reiterate that is what I'm trying to do here is not to be a super cheerleader and be like, it's, you know, because in 2017 when I got in, look, every YouTuber was like a super cheerleader and it's going to the moon and blah, blah, blah. It just ticked me off because once it went this way, I got, I didn't do my own research. I didn't do the due diligence and it went up and went straight down. So on this channel, I try to be a little bit more balanced and not be a moon boy and talk about how things are going to be awesome all the time. That's it. All right. So that's all I have for today. Look, if you like the video, for many of you probably don't, but give it a thumbs up. That always helps the channel a lot. And then also consider subscribing. A lot of things we talk about are time sensitive. And that's it for today. So thanks for sticking with me. I appreciate it. And I'll see you on the next one.


Hi, this is MXUX. I'm just going to do a quick video here on and this is pure speculation on my part. I'm just trying to fill in the blanks here. They're talking about running out or bringing in partners to use the excess capacity at Lordstown Motors. That is going to be the subject of this video. I'm also going to briefly go over the revolving line of stocks slash credit they have and also some ideas for the Lordstown Endurance consumer version. Alright, thanks guys. Let's get into this. Hi, this is MXUX. This is I'm going to try to do this quick and with energy. Who could use the excess LMC plant capacity? And this is my opinion. This is in no way confirmed or this is no inside information. Do not. This is not investing advice. Do your own DD. I'm just doing this because it sounds so horrible when they say, oh, Lordstown is written at space.  Anyway, let's just get into this. Okay, now, the present CEO of Lordstown is also on the board of directors of New v. And she's also a Burns Acolyte. She worked with Burns at workhorse. Anyway, this just came out. What is this 8? Oh, 8 15 21. Well, this is this is this is older. Let me just get through this. I'm going to go through the rest of this. You're going to see what I'm talking about. They're going to use Leavos, which is a joint which is funding by Stone Peak, which is a kind of an investment banking firm that was into a lot of oil and gas type things. And now they're getting into ESG and new V who does fleet. I mean, vehicle to grid charging. And that technology has partnered with them Stone Peak and they've created Leavos. And they have this cool fleet as a service leasing. Okay, and to make school buses more, but this fleet as a service can be used anywhere, not just with school buses and basically the way it works is they come in, they, as I understand it, they put in all the charging infrastructure. They provide the vehicles. They do all the management. It's all cloud based. They do the vehicle to grid management. They allow these school districts or other fleet holders to either use their batteries as a backup or to sell energy back to the grid and high demand, which creates cash positive cash flow for their fleets. This is amazing. And this is going to be very necessary as the number of electric vehicles grows. But this is a great plan and a new V holding vehicle to grid. They're with Bluebird here, leading independent designer and manufacturer of school buses. So new V and Bluebird have gotten together.  So they are going to partner with Bluebird and Bluebird is going to supply the buses. And new V through Livo, Livo mobility is going to put the project together, put the funding together for the project, put the infrastructure in, you know, they do everything. It's a turnkey solution. So, you know, imagine a school board, they got some mechanics in a garage. We're going to electrify everything. What are they going to do? They're going to go to this Livo and Livo is going to give everything to them at one set monthly lease price, including the vehicles. And then they're going to be able to generate revenue off of their fleet batteries when they're not in use. And Livo is going to handle, again, cloud-based telemetrics and maintenance and everything. So this is a great deal. This is a great deal for the infrastructure program. This is the number one company, Bluebird. I don't know. I guess there's others. I don't know really who they are. But this is a stock here. Okay, we're going to go over this in a little bit. But again, Stone Peak Partners, Limited Partnership. There's one of their very familiar school buses. All Bluebird type C and D electrical buses that are manufactured with the newbies, they will manufacture everything with the newbie and they're going to have the newbie charging station.  Okay, and again, they're going to be able to, and this is fleet as a service model. I think this is a great model. I think this is a great business idea. Too bad it's not. It's business to business or business to municipality. It would be great if it was business to the consumer to offer the consumer the same thing. Anyway, that's the big announcement that just happened. And I think this is going to be great. And again, this is going to give a turnkey solution to these school districts. Allow them to earn money off their batteries when they're not in use. I think it's great. And it's one price. Okay, so it's very easy to budget. It's very, they don't have to have any technical expertise. So this is a big deal. So you may say, Well, what does this have to do with the Lord's town? Well, I think they've got an order for 3500 of these buses, something like that. If they wanted to have a separate company. And they I believe they do some of this on their own right now. Although, let me see if I can find. Well, we're going to go through these tabs one by one. I'll just go talk about it when I find it. Anyway, for example, they could either send the frames of the school buses to Lord's town or Lord's town. I don't know if their frame capacity could make these frames. They could build out a line there with these movable carriers that carry the thing around. And they could engineer large hub motors for these buses. Okay, get put hub motors on, install the battery packs. In other words, do the skateboard at Lord's town for the bus, put it on a train, ship it down to Alabama or I think they're mobile. I'm not sure Georgia maybe. And they put the body on top of the frame and boom, they're done. So that would seem to make sense to me. Okay, that's one use that they could do that Bluebird could contract the manufacturing of their skateboards out to Lord's town. Just an example. And let's just see here. Here's a new V. And here's the chart. The chart took a dive today. It looks like we're 1039 a little bit up after hours. A little surprising on this news. I hold a position in this company a small position. But I think it's a very exciting technology. And I think it's something that's really necessary to implement electrification. Here is Bluebird. And Bluebird is under the symbol BLBD. Again, down on the day, but up up here at the very end, as you can see. And I believe after hours, well, they're unchanged after hours, but they did take a tip, tick up at the end. And anyway, let's just move here. Now, this is going through the new V lovo. This is the new company that they've put together with the stone peak levo powered by new V. So levo is the like leasing entity and new new V is the technology new V stone peak finalized levo joint venture seven million to electrify fleets. Okay. fleet as a model, delivers turnkey solutions to fleets to quickly transition to electric vehicles. So we're looking at fleet sales at Lordstown. The CEO is on the board of this company. Anyway, it would be great if they used for some of these applications, the Lordstown Endurance as the fleet vehicle. And that's another thing that how Lordstown could be involved in this. But anyway, I think it's a great concept. Again, vehicle V to grid, EV fleet deployments, again, using these dormant fleet batteries, selling power back to the grid when native, generating revenue. Also, you know, when you build like a steam, if there's a hot water line or a steam line, they always put like a expansion joint in it. So it's like an upside down you and inlet comes in one side outlet goes on the other side and goes up and it goes over. And what that allows is when the when there's a lot of pressure, it allows it to the steam line to contract without busting. And when there isn't that much pressure, it allows it to expand without busting, you know, instead of the pipes busting again, that's what the vehicle to grid does. When the when the grid is under stress and it needs power, that expansion joint is the vehicle to grid software. And then it brings in that power from those batteries to take up that demand when that use expanding. When that you contracts when there's less demand, the power flows from the grid into the battery of the vehicle. That's easiest way to explain it in my mind. Anyway, fleet of a service fleet fleet as a service for school buses last mile delivery rail ride hailing and ride sharing municipal services and more. So again, I hope that they choose Lordstown to work with as their truck, it would actually lower their maintenance costs because of the design of the Lordstown endurance and the easy maintenance of the wheel motors. And I would love to see this happen. I don't know that it's going to happen. But anyway, again, fixed monthly payment with no upfront costs. Liva will provide EVs, school buses, pickup trucks, charging infrastructure powered by newbies Vita grid platform and charging state and station maintenance, energy management and technical advice. So this is a great, you know, this is this is the new new here and hats off to new V, although new V their technology is not new.  So this is all proven hats off to stone peak, you know, somebody like Winston Young or Goldman Sachs wouldn't fund something like this because they're too management class, you need these entrepreneurs in there. And again, new V and stone peak to pursue 700 Miffy Don joint venture Livo to deploy to turn key electric vehicle charging and transportation as service for school buses and other commercial fleets. So you get my drift here. And whatever, you know, Livo mobility, if they're deploying school buses, those skateboards can be built at Lordstown. If they're deploying last mile delivery vans and Lordstown van isn't up yet, they can provide skateboards to that. If they are providing last mile delivery vans, and Lordstown's high top fan is in production, which it should be next year. Guess what? It can be part of this service as well, as well as the endurance fleet pickup. So anyway, this is just an idea to bring in added manufacturing kind of a lever that I think, you know, at least, you know, when you're throwing spitballs against the wall, this is something they could do. And then this is the bluebird. Again, this is their site regarding electric school buses. But it's curious here, they don't really, they have a lot of a lot of background here on on why it's a good idea. And see national grants are coming up financing. So v2 grid revenue potential, this is what I'm talking about. And this will apply to commercial fleets as well, safe service ability, okay, that bluebirds all they all the maintenance costs, you know, all this stuff is included. But now they don't have really, they have EV school bus news here. Okay, now they got these small buses. And they got these bigger buses. But they're expanding. They don't say a lot about their manufacturing. I'm not familiar with this company that familiar. But the point is that I don't know if they're actually they were talking here about acquisition of a leading EV integrator and type A school bus mic. Anyway, the point is, I don't know how deep they are into manufacturing, if they have the capacity to handle these bigger contracts. And if they need, you know, some place like Lordstown, which they could actually use to do their own design skateboard. I mean, the thing is, the robots are there. They don't have to buy robots, they can put the portable mass production line in with the carts, the little mobilized carts that roll around. They could build the skateboards there the bodies I'm sure they have this down to a science. And I don't know if they have to lighten those up or whatever. Anyway, another company which I don't think is going to be part of this. But who do I know? I'm just some guy, maybe they're talking behind the scenes. But with that recent stock sale, I think workhorse is out of the picture here now, I think that new CEO wants to go a separate way. But certainly, as you can see, workhorse took a dive there during the day, and it's up after hours. There's the one day short on workhorse as of today. You know, workhorse has got to make their changes. They got to implement that as a mass production vehicle. And they could do that at Lordstown, they could, again, put in the line, the robots are there, blah, blah, blah, I don't have to go over and over and over again. They're going to do a redesign to make it heavier weight. You know, Steve Burns was the CEO of workhorse by the way, the present CEO of Lordstown also worked for workhorse under Steve Burns. So there's kind of like this connection already. And you know, if they ever wanted to go into mass production, this is in Ohio, they're in Cincinnati, which isn't that far, it's south from here. And again, they could truck the skateboards to workhorse or whatever if they didn't want to do the full production. But anyway, just another idea of someone who could rent factory space, or as they say, rent factory space, I'd like to see, leave a mobility partner with them workhorse. I don't know. Maybe. Here's another one. Archimoto. Archimoto is looking to ramp up production. They, here's their stock, it took a bump up at the end of the day. I have on this stock in the past, I do not have a position in this stock right now. I have a small position in workhorse. The FUV, and I actually met the CEO of this, although he had a mask on and I'm not sure with him, but it's very nice. It was in a casual situation. Just told him how much I liked the product. Anyway, the point is, they're looking to expand their production.  Let's go to the hub motors that Lordstown is making in Ohio. Okay. You can manufacture, you can set up a whole line there. Again, I don't want to go through everything again. Let's change over from what the drive system you have now. Let's go to hub motors on your front wheels there, or you can even go to three wheel hub motors, but let's go to the hub motors on your front wheels there. And you know, you can put a little radiator in the middle. And then let me just see here. Now this is, I think I have a better picture of this. Let's see. Yeah. There it is. Wait, let's see this. There we go. This is what I want. This is a system that Archimoto, they bought this company. And Sandy Monroe, who works with Archimoto, just implemented torque vectoring on their present motor configuration. Just think of you had electronic digital torque vectoring with the Elafi hub motors right here, put your radiator right here. I don't know if they're more efficient than the motor he has there. I don't know if they'll get better gas mileage or better EV mileage. You got a third wheel back there you could put a third motor on there. Anyway, it's a thought and they're looking to go to mass production. And again, they could distribute these to Europe. And I think there'd be a great demand for these in Asia, if they can get the price down, especially the ones with the flatbed truck on the back. Also Europe. Anyway, that's another idea of who could, and here's the Archimoto as it is now. And again, they have this motor configuration here. But you know, you could just as easily put hub motors in here. Okay, and have your radiator here, your cooling system for your hub motors here. And again, you could have the dynamic, the digital torque vectoring. Okay, Archimoto. Let's do it. Simplify your design, lower your parts count, build it at Lordstown, ship it out Lake Geary to Asia. Okay, here's another idea of someone. This is the Aptara. And this is this streamlined car. And this is a really cool car. And it's got the cooling in the, in the body. They put the radiator in the skin of the body. And this has got three lofty motors in it. I'm not sure what kind they have exactly. But the point is, some have two motors in it, some have three. This is another vehicle that could be produced at Lordstown. You know, Sandy Monroe, when he got involved with the Aptara first, and I have a video I have many videos on Aptara in my, on my website, in my web collection on YouTube. He said he wanted to move to a production system that was similar to the Viper Dodge Viper, the way the Dodge Viper worked. They had the mobile again, the mobile production line, which had those little carts that followed the tape on the floor. And they would go to different workstations. Some would be robotics and would be humans. This is something again at Lordstown. I don't know how many extra, I think they had 1,500 robots there. I don't know how many they're using the present line, but they could probably forklift those over and configure lines so forth. And again, the hub motors, whatever their secret sauce is, Lordstown could put in a line. Or, you know, maybe they're using their present motors with some kind of software control. Anyway, again, they could ship these to Europe, which I think is going to be a big market for these because the small roads in Europe. And this is a great vehicle, self charging, can charge it on a 110 outlet, you know, as you can the endurance. But that's a pretty cool vehicle. And then I just wanted to add this at the end here. Going over a couple other things. This is the Lordstown. This is the San Felipe 250 Lordstown truck. And I want to make I want to put this out there to you Lordstown. When we come out with the conversion with the commercial version, the public version of the not the fleet truck with the the public version of the Lordstown Endurance, let's base it on this model. Let's use this graphic. Okay, I don't know about the bumper, maybe the bumper. Let's use the flares. Let's I know you have cooling incorporated. Let's incorporate the cooling in the flares. Let's raise the body a little bit. Let's put bigger tires on it. Let's put a bash plate on it. Let's put it. Let's put some aerodynamics down here. I think it would be a cool look for a commercial truck, at least an option. I think we could build this on the line. At Lordstown, I think it would be a, you know, I think it would surprise everybody. I don't think they would expect to get something like this. Anyway, again, this is a Baja Racer, but let's let's model it on this. Okay, let's have some running boards, you know, whatever. It's a cool looking truck. Let's let's let's run with that. And I wanted to mention this too. I was listening to Q's views and a couple other videos and stuff. Now, here's the thing on this stock sale, you know, the four million dollar revolving line of credit they have with YAH. Okay, YAH, YAH2 or whatever it is. You guys are going to have to do your own due diligence on this, but I believe there's a floor on on the price. So even if the stock goes down to one dollar, I think they have to purchase at 748 is the minimum it says meets equals or exceeds this price. And but it's based on the closing of the day this this deal was done. So this this number may have changed. But I just want to say you guys can do your own due diligence on this. This this is the min, I believe. So even if that even if that price drops, okay. And let's see here. That's empty. Anyway, guys, that's about it. And this is the video. I just wanted to go over, you know, there's some some exciting things that could happen at Lord's Town. They are, you know, I see these headlines. Lord's Town to rent out space. Well, it's not exactly space. What this is really is an EV incubator. They call this the Voltage Valley. They've got Case Western Reserve University, Kent State University, Yankee State University, which has a great engineering school that's worked in the automobile industry for years put out of graduates that are all over the auto industry. They have a workforce, local. They have a great plant that is up to date, full of robotics. They have extra space. They have a rail line, they have highways. This it's not just a place to rent space. This is an incubator for the new economy, the new EV economy. And Lord's Town is going to be that incubator. And that's my opinion. Anyway, I hope you guys like the video. If you got a second, shoot out a like and a subscribe. I hate asking for subscribers. But anyway, if you like the content, anyway, I hope you like the video. I threw this together rather quickly to get it out. Thanks, guys. Thanks for watching.


Welcome traders to another tick mill earnings report preview with me Patrick Munney before we jump into those reports It's important. We've here to the risk disclaimer the material provided is for information purposes only and should not be considered as Investment advice the views information opinions expressed by me are solely mine. They're not indicative or representative of those held by tick mill UK or limited Okay, so let's jump into today's report. We're looking at AMD Who report after the close this evening in New York? We're looking for consensus earnings per share of 90 cents on revenue of 5.52 billion. There is a whisper number on the street, but the earnings per share can be a little light at the 87 cents per share Investors will be focused on the amount of revenue generated by AMD's enterprise embedded and semi-custom segment The segment encompasses server and embedded processors semi custom system on chip products Develop services and game console technology It does not include AMD's desktop and notebook micro processors Which are including the company's computing and graphics segments the enterprise embedded and semi-custom segment is the smaller of the company's two main segments But it is growing in a rapid clip and could ultimately overtake the computing and graphics segment as the company's primary revenue Generator in fiscal year 2020 enterprise and embedded semi-custom chip was 34.1% of AMD's total revenue while in the senior 2021 It's 43.2. So this segment covers areas of AMD's business That have suffered recent shortages due to rising demand such as cars as well as areas that could see rising growth Such as game consoles and these enterprise embedded semi-custom business has grown dramatically In recent years after a slow start in fiscal year 2019 revenue for the segment was 0.4 billion It declined to 0.3 billion in the first quarter of 2020 during the early months of the pandemic Then it nearly quadrupled year over year to 1.3 billion in the first quarter of 2021 And let's predict a slower but still impressive pace of growth In the first quarter of 2022 as revenue in this segment could climb to as high as 2.3 billion Okay, let's take a look at some of the statistical trading patterns around the earning release AMD shares have moved lower in the immediate aftermath of earnings 8 out of 12 For previous reports on average the stock moved down 0.8 percent in the first day of trading Based on the previous 12 earning releases AMD is more likely to trade higher one day after earnings from average gain of 0.5% Stock has moved higher one week after earnings seven hours of the previous 12 reports on average The stock moved a higher by 3.7 percent It tells what we can anticipate from the options market and implied volatility options trader traders are actually pricing in 11.1 percent move on earnings and the stock has averaged a 4.2 percent move in recent quarters In the sentiment and flow perspective There's a notable buying 15,010 contracts of a $70 call expiring on Friday, August the 19th Options order flow sentiment in general is bullish investor sentiment earnings companies earnings release has 71 percent Expecting an A&P consensus estimates are for year-to-year earnings growth of sixty nine point eight one percent The revenue increasing sixty point two three percent short interest has decreased by 57 percent since the company's last earnings release While the stock has actually drifted lower by thirty four point two percent from its opening firing its last earnings release To be twenty seven point one percent below its two hundred day moving average at one hundred and seventeen dollars Thirty nine, so let's take a look at the charts now and see where there may be opportunities in This stock so AMD Is in a what I consider a corrective pattern at the moment versus the swing high at one hundred thirty three dollars fifty five I'm actually looking for Quality test at the sixty eight dollar level and also coincide with the weekly trend line support So I've been looking for any three-way corrective patterns to find resistance back just above the hundred dollar level Then look for a downside extension into this sixty eight dollar zone I think that's an entry point to build a long-term position in This stock as always traders plan the trade trade the plan and most importantly manage your risk until next time Thanks very much You
