Being human is about fighting nature, fighting the angel of God, fighting men, fighting the universe. It's about not being, it's about nothingness in the sense that you have to renounce everything outside yourself and in the eyes of society and in the eyes of the world you have to become nothing. We all end up wounded, some of us at the hip, some of us all over, but we all end up blessed if we choose this path of struggle, this path of withdrawing from the world and from the suffering it can inflict. Happiness comes naturally from the inside. It is slow and steady and safe unfolding. It is not the ephemeral pyrotechnics of fireworks. Happiness never depends on anything external, never depends even on any one. Happiness cannot be bought, happiness therefore can never be sold. It is a state of mind, not a state of affairs. Happiness is self-love and self-acceptance without the noses. Happiness flowers in the least expected moments and it brings to life the moribund, refreshes the stale, infuses everything with color. Happiness is being and nothingness. At the same time, we all pursue happiness in the wrong ways. Nothing is more sad and lonely than having casual sex in order to feel less sad and lonely. Nothing is more deceitful than brutal honesty, because brutal honesty pretends to offer empathy and succor, but it is merely camouflage sadism and hatred. Nothing is more vain glorious than false modesty and pseudo-humility. Nothing is more hateful than the ineluctable expiry of love and nothing is more wrong. Nothing is more wrong than being right all the time. Nothing is faster than life and nothing is slower than dying and we spend life dying. Nothing is more attractive than the self-sufficient. Nothing is more attractive than those who don't need you, they are self-sufficient. Nothing is more repellent than the clinging and the kneading, don't be one. Nothing is more corrupt than conformity. Nothing is more noble than being oneself in splendid isolation. Nothing is more dignified than honouring others and nothing is more hopeful than what we already have. Nothing is more blind than merely observing and nothing is more deaf than merely hearing, merely observing and merely hearing. These are disabilities. Nothing is more present than the past. Nothing is less certain than the future. No gift is greater than a smile and no harm is more debiliterious than rejection. No risk is grander and no reward is more substantial than to live life to its fullest. Only the craven and the foolish extol and recommend death or asceticism as bravery or wisdom. They are not. Reality is in our mind alone and what is out there is solely what we make of it. Go forth to this new year, to this new world, to this new normal and be brave. Make them love you. The way out is your only entrance. Your exit strategy is the only strategy. Exit the world not physically, not foolishly. Exit the world mentally so that you can experience yourself above all else. What did life teach me? I'm 60 years old and I have let the combined lives of 10 people at least. I have learned that life doesn't always accommodate your plans and wishes but it always turns out to be far better than your fears. If you just let life happen, life takes care of you. We have only limited information. Life has a lot more. Events that look like disasters are usually agents of positive change. Trust life. Do not fight life. Plan flexibly, execute wisely, retreat smartly, advance promptly, invariably celebrate all these steps on the path that is who you are, your being. Assume the worst. I am no Pollyanna. Assume the worst but expect the best. Settle for the real. Even when you're stuck, you're carried forward at blinding speed. Love the innumerable gifts that you had been given. Life first and foremost amongst them. Clichees are golden truths forged by experience. Sad backs are opportunities. Raw gold never glitters. The grass is green and every cloud has silver. Tunnels always end in light. These are all truths. Be positive and not gullible. Positive but not gullible. Assured but not grandiose. Happy but never euphoric. Some emotions are bad advisors. Others indispensable counselors. No, which is which. And yes, change what you can but only what you can. Do not aim for the stars. Let the stars aim for you who are made of stardust. Remember, this dream you're in, it ends one day. It ends one day. We all wake up to our mortality. The only things we take with us are CPM memories. They are the only thing we live behind. Work on having a life worth remembering by both yourself and others. The world is changing because the world has always changed. Change is the way of the world. This is the new normal. Make it yours. Make it yours by focusing on the only thing that matters in this world.  Nothingness is not about rejecting life. It's about embracing life. Nothingness is not about ego death. It's about reality testing, which is the hallmark of a healthy ego. Nothingness above all is distilling the wisdom of the ages and leveraging this wisdom to finally, maybe, experience happiness. Good luck in 2021.


Ladies and gentlemen, Salah Mike back with another video. We're bringing an old school. I'm taking your questions from Instagram. That's Salah Mike with two Ks. If those of you comment below and don't lie. If you've been around forever, five ever, I think five years ago or so is when I started this YouTube channel and basically it was me and iPad and your questions. And it seemed like you guys really enjoy those questions. So those type of videos. So we're gonna dive in, I'm taking your questions. Be sure to subscribe. New videos coming out Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. I really appreciate you guys. Let's see if we can get to 1500 likes, man. The likes and views on these videos, the support has been dope. Are you able to provide guidance on how you went about leaning out and any tips for dietary discipline? So we talked about tracking meals. That's gonna be number one for the majority of people. You have to start to understand how much calories, macronutrients are in an actual serving. And then what an actual serving size looks. People don't know because at least Americans, Europeans, you guys might have a little bit better than us. But Americans don't know. At least I sure as hell didn't have a clue of how many calories are in what types of food, what macronutrient breakdown, and then also the actual serving size of something.  But like a serving of actual cereal, what that looks like and how it fills you up and how it fuels you, that's a big difference. Another thing, guidance is, is you probably are gonna be hungry when you're dieting. If you're trying to get leaner and leaner and the more advanced stages of getting shreds life, you're going to get a little bit hungry and that's normal and that's natural. I don't really have that much guidance beyond the basics.  I was lucky enough to live in a metropolitan area. And so now I ride my bike as my main transportation. So my neat, my non-exercise. Calorie burn goes up a little bit. I sleep really good. I build my own schedule. And then I'm just watching my calories, keeping my protein about one kilogram. Sorry, one gram per about pound of body weight. If that makes sense. So one gram of protein a day per about body weight I have. So I'm about 200 pounds. So I'm getting anywhere from 180 to 200 grams of protein a day. I'm mixing in my carbs and fats kind of moderate on both. And then I'm being as consistent as I can in the gym, working as hard as I can, training similarly that I did when I was bulking, heavy, hard, trying to maintain that volume. Do you believe there's an ideal body fat percentage or range in powerlifting to be strong and competitive? That's a really good question. I think there's generally going to be a range. Again, probably 15 to 20% for most males. But I do think there's exceptions to every rule. And I do think that this is where the individuality kind of helps and happens within the sport. Depending on your height, depending on your genetics, depending on your muscle fibers, you may be able to get really, really lean and stay really strong or just be an absolute tank. You know, you look at guys like John Hack compared to Russ Swoll, my boy, Russell Orhee. Both of them are actually similar weight class, probably similar body fat percentage actually in the scheme of things, I might be wrong, but how they look and how they move is so different as John's pretty tall and Russ is a little shorter. You compare that to maybe Russ and Bryce Lewis. Bryce Lewis is one of the best coaches and lifters in the absolute planet in my opinion. He's a technician, insanely smart dude, a ton of attention to detail on every level. Been in the game very long. He's an OG, I'm an OG now, and so is Bryce.  He's probably similar height to Russell Orhee, but he's a weight class or two above.  And I'm pretty similar to Bryce. I was hanging out at 195 to 200 pounds. My lifts just really started to stall. And I don't know if that has to do with my muscle fiber type, my elbows or my legaments and all that does play a role in semi-joking, but it will depend on the individual. But I do recommend most of you. Most of you, even though you could feel and dive in and go 100% into powerlifting as a sport and want it more than anything, never disregard your health, never disregard your future, it's not worth getting up to 50% body fat right away to try to bench 400, 500 pounds, stay between the 15, 20%, stay in a very slight calorie surplus, if not just above maintenance, just above maintenance, find a really good program and push it out. What's your plan with the hair? Don't mind the hat hair, kids. I got no plans, man. This is who I am. I like my hair, I like my facial hair. I like the mullet. It's a little long, it tickles my neck. Feels like I have friends or a girlfriend that wants to tickle my neck. That's what feels sometimes when you go to bed. So it makes me feel not so alone. But I'm gonna keep it. I'm gonna keep the hair. I like the hair, I got no plans. I'll probably trim it up just a little bit just because it's getting a little long. But otherwise, no plans. The modern mullet, me, we're Stan, we're gonna be in your life. What are the benefits of snatch grip deadlift compared to a deficit deadlift? Oh, that's a good question. Snatch grip deadlifts can work your upper back a little bit more. Deficit deadlifts when you elevate yourself in the plates. So the range of motion is a little bit greater. A snatch grip deadlift, you also have a greater range of motion because your grip's going out. But it will make you use your back a little bit more. Deficit deadlifts, you could probably handle a heavier load overall than you can with a snatch grip. And depending on your overall programming, if you wanna use it as kind of a lighter day or the general stimulus you wanna handle is less, the general load you wanna use is less. A snatch grip might be a good thing to mix in. But both of them are really good exercises. I do think both of them take a little bit more mobility than some people do have. So I'm not a huge fan of absolutely maxing out on either of those often. But I do think some volume work with the snatch grip and the deficit, if you can emulate your pull from the ground on the deficit. I think that's something that I see often is people will hip hinge or deadlift really, really well on a normal competition style deadlift. Then they'll go to a deficit and they'll get in a weird, funky position. Try to emulate a similar position, but both are great strength builders, great range of motion. Build you up, Buttercup. Not a question, but you're my, oh my. But you just became my favorite YouTuber. Thanks, pal. Thanks, Connor Lively. Appreciate you. Do you see yourself tied down with a partner anytime soon? You guys are trying to dig into the gossip. That's what you guys are trying to get. And I assume partner, that's very 2019 PC, meaning maybe I'll get a significant other anytime soon. Yeah, you know, we'll dig into that one day, all right, kids? We'll dig into that one day. One day, kids, we'll get into the personal, like I've never done like a meet my girlfriend video. Comment below if you guys wanna meet my girlfriend video. How's this look? Did we look cute? Prom ready? Meet my girlfriend video coming, who knows? Can out two questions from two separate people that lined up at the same time. Alcohol and lifting and moderation, one question. Alcohol, can it be part of a goal for cutting and general health? I think that moderation, obviously, is going to be key when it comes to alcohol as it is with anything else. Depends how advanced you are. Oh, sorry, kids. Whoo! Just a little yawners. It happened, you probably can't see it, but we have a storm going on right now and right as the sun peeked out of the clouds, I yawned as like I was yawning. Sunlight onto the planet. Neither here nor there. Alcohol can be a part of your life, I think, that obviously binging and going nuts on a weekend probably doesn't fit into any type of fitness lifestyle, whether you have strength goals or aesthetic goals as the recovery from it is too much, but having a glass or two of wine or beer or a mixed drink every once in a while probably will fit into whatever goal you want. Obviously, you have to track it if you're cutting or bulking, putting it into your macronutrients, but definitely possibility. There are some downsides. Can blunt some protein synthesis for a while depending on how much you drink. Obviously, the habits you get while your tipsy or drunk aren't great, you know, staying up late, eating calorie dense foods, et cetera, et cetera, all these things take into account, but overall, yes, I think you can. Do you watch anime? No. Fashion icon? Yes, just say yes. Yes, I'm super into clothes, man. I think just growing up the culture of basketball and hip hop, you kind of grew up in streetwear as it was becoming a huge thing in the early 2000s. So I've always been into clothes. I've just been sharing it slightly more on Instagram if you guys want to follow me and maybe we'll share it a little bit here. I do have a project semi-related to some of that. So hopefully you guys will really dig that and want to get behind that support that. I think you really, really dig it. It's been two years in the work, so that should be dropping the next two months. But yeah, man, I love clothes. I love accessories. I love sneakers. I love hats. Always been into it. What's something you're currently struggling with? Tough one, man. I don't know how deep we're trying to dig, but anxiety's been really bad lately. You guys know I was Twitch streaming for a very long time. I just had to cut that out. My mind wasn't allowing me to focus. I'm not diagnosed with anything, so take this with what you want. But sometimes my overthinking kind of ADD type mind runs absolute races, NASCAR in my head, and I can just not focus or get a positive thought into my brain. So I've been working really, really hard on meditation. I've been working really, really hard on cutting foods and drinks, and I don't drink alcohol anymore for a very long time.  But sometimes I just, I felt stapled to my bed over the last couple months, and just kind of stuck, I felt really stuck. So trying to set some new goals. I'm trying to look for some positive things. I'm doing a ton of meditation, a lot more reading. I don't know how long, some of y'all follow me, but in high school I think I read one book, out of probably the 100 I was supposed to read. And after I dropped out of college, I haven't read a book since. I think I've banged through about four books in the last month or two, which is literally the first time in my entire life. Plus the meditation, cut out energy drinks, cut out alcohol, so. Biggest thing I'm struggling with is, yeah man, the anxiety, the kind of negative thoughts. I don't really like the word depression, but I've been stapled now. I've been stapled in my bed for a while, so. I do like to be alone, and so it's hard for me to sometimes distinguish, or I'm like, do you just need to re-energize, plug in and be alone for a bit, or Mike, are we stapled and we're hiding right now? And so just trying to figure all that out, man, just normal stuff in life, normal stuff. We all go through it, we all have negative thoughts, we all have self-doubt, we all have sad times, we have up times, hard times, fun times, but that's the struggle, man. That's the raw truth of what's been going on, kind of why I haven't been Twitch streaming, kind of why I've been trying to be on Instagram as much as I can, but I don't feel like myself sometimes, so I just post whatever I got, lifting or picture or something of that nature. Are deloads periods necessary for beginner lifters? I would probably say no. If you're following a solid beginner program, check out kaisentraining.com, pre-sale limited a dish. 40% off, beginning programming right now for you guys. You don't, you shouldn't. If you're getting some sleep and some calories in you, your body's gonna adapt really, really quick. And I would even argue that later in life, even as an intermediate advanced, there will be lighter weeks, but I think this notion of a deload probably needs to be stabbed down. People will go from, you know, let's just make it up, 50 sets a week on an exercise at averaging 80% or 85%, and then their deload will go down to like 20 or 15, they'll cut it in half, the percentage and the volume, or the intensity and the volume, and I don't think that's necessary. I think having lighter weeks to recover a little bit, mentally and physically are good, adjusting things mentally and physically are good, so you can continue progress, but I think the general notion of these deloads are a little extreme at this point. Do you know your videos, specifically the dancing ones, make people's day? I appreciate that, and I don't, I don't. As much as I'd like to say I do, and I do support you guys, I really appreciate you guys and the support, trust me, I really, really do. It's hard to feel sometimes the effects you have when your job's on the internet. You know, I think through podcasting, it's my episodes have been downloaded over 20 million times, 20 million downloads total for every podcast I've ever been on. This YouTube channel has hundreds of thousands of views. I've been on OMAR and other channels with hundreds if not millions of views, hundreds of thousands of people I've interacted with on Instagram, but you don't really feel the full effect. I know somewhere in me that I think I'm doing good, I'm trying to help you guys toward your goals, and I'm trying to entertain you every day, but the truth is I don't know. It does feel very different when you're training someone one-on-one or coaching high school basketball, and you can just see on their face the improvement or the happiness you bring an athlete or a person. It's hard on the internet, it's really hard. Talking about this, things I struggle with, finding fulfillment is I think something that we always, all of us are always striving for. We're trying to find something that makes us feel good and want to work harder, and I always want to work hard, and I'm continuing to work harder. I have no issues with that right now, but feeling it is something I've struggled with my whole time, my whole life, even when it comes to my own goals, accomplishments. Noticing and feeling the small victories, celebrating the small victories has been something I struggle with, and I think that's part of my NASCAR brain of what's next, what can I do better? Being a self-critical kind of chip on your shoulder style athlete is what's translated into my work ethic as kind of a content creator and a businessman, and so I never really do well at smelling the roses, enjoying the moment, hence if anyone has any anxiety out there, thoughts of the future, thoughts of the past, not living in the moment is what's really jacking me up, but it's also what pushes me to work hard, and it's also what has allowed me to be in the position I am, and I am very lucky and I'm very happy to be where I am, but it can be very difficult, it can be very difficult, but I do appreciate the comments, I really do, it helps remind me why I'm on this course, why I'm trying to help you towards your goals or entertain you. We've been in some dark places, I've been in some dark places, I understand, and so if I can entertain you guys with an actin' a fool on the Instagram or here on YouTube, I'm gonna continue to do so, so I do appreciate it.


You have to forgive me. I know I can get through this talk, but you just have to be You have to be patient with me I'm going to talk about an idea that I've been thinking about for a long time called the poorest city and Maybe I can explain it concretely in the following way Recently I tried to buy an iPhone in their new place and open their electronics market in Delhi where goods that happen to have fallen off a truck Are sold for thirty percent forty percent or seventy percent discounts, whatever cash you have handy My iPhone turned out to be a damaged dud, but it didn't really care the Experience of going to Nehru place was eye-opening another picture of it It's completely poorest spot in the city People of all castes Classes races and religions coming and going Doing deals and phones or gossiping about the small tech startups in the low offices around the square That's above you can see on the second floor is an above You can also worship at a small shrine if you're so minded or find a sorry or just lounge about drinking tea Nehru place is every urbanist dream intense mixed complex If It's the sort of place we want to make It's not however the sort of space most silky cities are building Instead the dominant forms of urban growth are Monofunctional like shopping centers where you are welcome to shop, but there's no place to pray these sorts of places tend to be Isolated in space is in the office campuses built on the edge of cities Or towers in the city center which as in London's current crop of architectural monsters I say no more Are sealed off the base from their surroundings Can I remark it's amazing to walk? Among these spaces you can't get into any of them They're all sealed They're bought their glass boxes look inside, but it's not for you It's not just evil developers however who want things this way The most popular form of residential housing Worldwide is the gated community Is it worth trying to term the dream of the poorest city? Into a pervasive reality I Wondered a narrow place about the social side of this question Since Indian cities have been swept from time to time by waves of ethnic and religious violence Could porous places tamp down that threat? By mixing people together in everyday activities Evidence from Western cities answers both yes and no Andres didn't last year Pegida Demonstrations against the Muslim presence in Germany for instance In that Pegida argued that Muslim culture is alien to Western values This argument was turned out to be made by people in Pegida who don't live anywhere near Muslims in the city Indeed who know no Muslims? So they're completely separated The American social scientist Robert Putnam adds a seemingly contradictory ironic twist to the separation in space of different social groups In a study of several cities His researchers found that the further away white Americans live from African Americans the more tolerant the whites are That is the closer you are the more intolerant So these are two contrary facts They don't fit together. It's yes or no Against this logic of separation stands Paris the Islamist Islamic Banyu of Paris are separated from the center by the Santu the ever-clogged ring road around the inner city and So to in Brussels Molenbeck district from which many of the terrorists come It's a disconnected island in the city As the sociologist William Julius Wilson has shown Such physical islands breed inward-looking men an inward-looking mentality In which fantasy about others takes the place of fact bread of actual contact As true Wilson argues of the black ghetto as it is of Christian the Gita Now I have to say about this that I'm deeply Uncomfortable about Deprobates over separation and inclusion Which move almost seamlessly to citing violent extreme behavior as Evidence for or against This is just wrong socially Which is why Nehru place? Is a better place to think about inclusion than Molenbeck Every day people are going about their business with others unlike themselves People they don't know Perhaps people they don't like There is what might be called the democracy of crime here As Hindus and Muslims both sell illegal like electronics a Wave of violence would clear off customers for both Getting along in this this kind of environment isn't particular to India or to open-air markets numerous studies Show that in offices or factories that adults of different religions and races Work perfectly well together and the reason is not far to see Work is not about affirming your identity It's about getting things done The complexity of city life Tends in fact to bring many identities for its citizens As workers, but also as spectators at sports events as parents concerned about schooling or patients Suffering from NHS cuts Urban identities are porous in the sense that we are always going in and out of lots of different Experiences in different places with people. We don't know In the course of a single day When pundits a pine on the difficulty of difference, they flatten identity into a single image Just one experience Modern economy can then flatten identity when it sells people on the idea of the gated homogeneous community is safe, which is not true in fact Or build shopping centers only for shopping or Constructs office campuses and towers whose workers are sealed off from the city So this is a problem for this this is a debate about purified identity It's not a debate which makes any sense about work Nor about forms of leisure Where the problem of difference in integration just doesn't arrive It's as a kid who says it's a question about the meaning of home and the meaning of home is synonymous with a kind of homogenizing of Identity you can see where I'm going in Order to make the city more tolerant We should have a less strong Identification with home We should learn how to use the city and live in the city in a more impersonal way It's why I've argued against the many many Projects that seek to strengthen Community that's a way of strengthening and flattening Home we belong here even if the we is very many different people It's still saying this is a particular place and this is with the place with which I identify Now I want to just say for a bit. I hope I haven't talked along That if fine, okay, if the public comes to demand it Urbanists can easily design a porous city the model of Nehru place and Indeed many of the architects and planners at the urban age events now unfolding in London have made Proposals to porosify the city. I'm just going to show you very briefly what that means Porosity It is I'm over 60. I mean, you know, you have to be under 15 really The first aspect about porosity is that it deals with edges and edges come in two forms borders and boundaries That's happens in nature I did with some my students at MIT. The cell membrane is a border. It's porous But it has whereas a cell wall Is Not so porous the thing about this is is that porosity is just not free-flowing The cell membrane is both porous and resistant. It tries to keep in the valuable ingredients in the cell and to exchange Ingredients it doesn't need The problem with the cell wall is in this cellulose fibers that we looked at is that no exchange is possible So when we talk about porosity, we're not talking about openness in the sense that anything flows everywhere We're talking about a very complex condition in nature The same thing is true about ecological borders. This is another study. We did you know in Provincetown, which is Stoff Boston the places of greatest activity here both biological and equal and evolutionary or where the water meets the land Same thing about the layers of water in in the ocean itself It's at the edge Where the most activity? goes on in in a natural And a hedgerow you'll all know this as a familiar example of Something which is mixed in that way and so is very And so is very alive much more alive than the moan spaces around it By contrast, this is my favorite slide of everything. I showed these are tiger dropping Border boundaries, and you know how they do it.  No other animals Who know how to read these singles are allowed anyhow So this distinction between borders and boundaries fundamental in the natural world It's also something that we can build This is a photo I took of the Israeli security wall, which is the ultimate built boundary on one side that's on the Israeli side I Couldn't get across the other side the Israelis wouldn't let me go but on the other side of this is a market made by Palestinians Where they sell all sorts of things, you know the? The the wall in the morning offers them shade And they have just this one little way to get through but on the Israeli side This is what I mean. This is a low intensity edge. It's a wall Walls themselves Can be Ken function as borders. This is one in Avignon. This is where Jews prostitutes Germans All clustered they weren't allowed in the city center I mean further common and as you've seen in in the Ricky Burnett's original presentation to you this is Traffic is creating a border Whereas this In Sao Paulo remember this town this is we took from Dizzying height is a boundary people can walk across this traffic. It's slow Whereas this is fast and the edges are highly porous. You have to watch out Because You're in Brazil Which means that your life is taken in your hands every time you got in a way of a bus, but it works as a border This is to me the most Profound kind of distinction between borders and boundaries, we know that is between the vertical and the horizontal horizontal Everything above the ground plane here is isolated from it Everything and this is a huge problem in the making of almost all tall buildings How do you make them pour us up? We have some ideas about how to make them pour us at the ground plane by putting in lots of doors By getting rid of security codes Take it into an elevator and so it's so there are lots of ways to do it but porosity is Inachievable for us in almost all vertical dimensions Now well, I don't know but this is a project. I did in East London another way making something porous Is by changing its function and there's a parking lot project Where it's a parking lot, but we pour tons of sand on it.  It's also a space of production and that's why I want to show you this This is another kind of border in Mumbai This is quite a frightening Work of yeah The school for the this is a block away from what I just showed you the school For these kids crosses these train tracks. I don't know what your experience of Indian Train schedules is mine your sounds like it's very regular mine was that these are quite Irregular and these kids have to treat this as a dangerous porous Border to get to and from school which they go back into Day after day hour after hour during the day So it develops kind of street smarts environmentally And finally I just show you this the opposition between a border and a boundary Spatially is something that is a continuity This is Bogota's version of the new place People here they have a lot of things that have fallen off the back of the truck For sale and they're selling them on overturned Cardboard boxes If they prosper they move up a floor and They're still dealing in semi-legal goods, but the floors are now organized like streets And they have customers who come to where they're shopping. I suppose My sale the salesman of my iPhone has a regulars to whom iPhone wouldn't be sold anyhow. They'd say it's a cluster here If you get up to the top The top floor they've actually built They've taken four by eight sheets of cardboard and created miniature stores up there What you're looking here is vertically rising From the poorest the non-porous from the informal to the formal This is what physically social mobility looks like Understand what I'm saying Social mobility is not just a statistical fact It's a physical experience Now I I've mostly showed you things from Non-western countries. I'll just show you very quickly how One of my masters Aldo van Eyck dealt with a problem of porosity This is a this is a space in that Amsterdam with this Huge all this huge opened So what he did is he filled it in and what's porous about this is That people barrel down this street and these little kids are playing at the edge Like the kids in Mumbai. They have to learn the street smarts about where you go and where you don't go That is they have to become visually Safe health and safety Would have never allowed this in Britain to be built. You have to segregate those kids away You have to do the equivalent of shut them up in a boundary Whereas the van Eyck notion is they're learning the city by being at a border edge. Here's another one of this This is a beautiful one and they're everywhere and Yeah, and there are seven hundred Made in Amsterdam. There are all places of porosity And the notion is that a poor city is a way that you learn your city So What I like to say about this in some is That if the public comes to demand it we urbanists can design a porous city like they replace these these other Visions until opening up and blurring the edges of spaces so that people are drawn in rather than repulsed They're dangerous. They're ambiguous. They emphasize true mixed use of public and private functions In British terms schools or clinics Amidst Tesco or Pratt They explore the making of loose fitting spaces which can shift in shape as people's lives change. I Don't believe that in design determinism But I do believe that the physical environment should nurture the complexity of identity That's an abstract way of saying that we know how to make a porous city The time has come to make it. Thank you very much


One of the biggest issues that we face today and also in my five plus years experience in dropshipping is knowing how to run stealth accounts. And this has been a very sensitive issue for many dropshippers. Also, those who don't know how to do it and those who think they know how to do it, don't do it correctly. And then they just end up risking their business in this video. I have a very, very special interview with Stan from multi-login. And here we're going to talk about how to create stealth accounts the right way today. Everything that you know about stealth accounts, everything that you tried before in the past is most likely not working out today. And that is exactly what we're going to help you know how to sort out the right way in this podcast. So Stan, thank you for joining us. How are you doing today? What's up, Leon? I'm feeling fantastic. Thanks very much for inviting me over here. Great. You're very welcome. As long as we can provide more value to our viewers and help them with this very specific issue that they have been having problems with for so many years. And for those of you who don't know, some of these cases that you have for running stealth accounts is like, for example, if you want to have multiple eBay accounts where you want to have multiple stores that are not linked to one another, or if you're purchasing from Amazon and you want to have a few buyer accounts and for many, many other reasons, like for example, even if you want to have your Facebook Marketplace dropshipping store and you know that for running, for having a Facebook Marketplace dropshipping store, you need to live in the US, you need to have a US IP or for other reasons like you want to dropship from let's say Home Depot and in many countries outside the US, they simply block out their IP addresses. And this is another issue that we can tackle with this. So enough blabbing on Stan, let me know what is multi-logging? Multi-logging is essentially a software application, like a desktop application that you install to your Windows or Mac device that manages and creates virtual browser profiles that websites perceive as distinct and real devices. So it's a software application for managing virtual browser identities. Okay. And for anyone who's not too tech savvy, don't worry, we're going to break it down more in this podcast. But really briefly, where did you get the idea to create this company? Right. So we've been on the market for over six years and actually the story behind multi-logging is that we also managed a couple of online accounts and we would outsource this work to our virtual assistants. And it was pain in the, you know, what to like write these big instructions, how to change the proxy, how to clear the cookies, how to change like some browser parameters and always the virtual assistants would make mistakes and accounts get banned. So at some point, our CTO Pavel, he came up with a solution to like do this out of the box. We've created a solution for ourselves and then we offer the solution to affiliate marketers and dropshippers at the time six years ago and it slowly took traction. People started to get interested in it and a lot of people started to get a lot of value from the software. And that's how it began. Actually, we tried to solve the same problem our users are solving right now. So about six years ago is when this idea came to play and that pretty much answers my next question of when this business was actually created. So let's move on. What are the benefits of creating multiple accounts for dropshippers and e-commerce store owners? Right. So there's actually many benefits. One of the first benefits I would like to talk about is risk diversification purposes. There are many dropshippers who own their own Shopify stores and send traffic from Facebook ads. And many times when you don't, you forget to update your tracking information, or for example, there is a bad review from one of the people who didn't like your product. It's very likely that your Facebook ad account will get banned. And if it gets banned, it's essentially like for some people, it means that the main source of traffic is simply non-existent anymore. And when you have multiple such Facebook ad accounts for dropshippers, they are able to simply switch to another account and continue running their business. If we talk about dropshipping on existing marketplaces, then the same situation can apply there. Your account can simply get blocked and your business is not working anymore. Like eBay is a good example for that. Sorry for interrupting. But eBay is a perfect example for that because as soon as eBay puts down your account, suspend your account for whatever reason, you didn't upload tracking information, you didn't take care of your customers, you didn't care about replying to their cases, or you simply sold products that are prohibited that you're not allowed to resell.  And that's not something that anyone wants for their business. And one of the reasons, one of the advantages of stealth accounts, if you're an eBay dropshipper is that if one account goes down, you can still lean on the rest of them and then no harm, no foul. Yeah, absolutely. Like risk diversification. So you never know when it happens. It can happen. So you have to make sure that it actually, you are ready for that. What are actually reasons include that you are able to open multiple seller accounts and as a result, you can expand your business. Like the more stores you have, the more money you have. And another reason is also reputation management, where you can actually like combat bad reviews, sometimes actually competitors attack your stores and you have to combat them with better reviews. And you can use multiple accounts to manage that. And another very popular and not very talked use case is actually SEO. You can use like multiple accounts or multiple browser, you can use multiple unique browser sessions to actually boost your stores to appear higher in the search rankings. It's like Amazon or eBay SEO. Okay. So these are the most popular use cases. I never thought about those last two examples or good ones. So those are just some examples, by the way, of why we would want to use multiple stealth accounts and what would you say the legal aspects are of creating multiple stealth accounts? Because this is another very sensitive issue that many people face. And they want to know, is it legal? Can I even do this? Yeah. So it's actually a really good question. Yes. So yes, this is perfectly legal. There is no jurisdiction, there is no law in any jurisdiction that says you cannot create stealth accounts. You can create stealth accounts in some websites, they allow creating additional accounts on some websites, they don't allow. But the only thing here is not the breakage of law. The only thing is that you're perhaps not like working according to the website's terms of service. If we talk about legal ramifications, then as long as you're using and creating accounts of your friends or relatives and providing real factual information of people and not falsifying like documents or like creating accounts of false of non-existent people, then you're doing everything correctly, everything fine. As long as it increases revenue for your business and it helps you, everything is within legal ramifications. You're just using some growth tactics, maybe some some growth tactics to increase the revenue of your business. But any business needs every business has it. Every business has it. Every business utilizes specific loopholes around every corner they get to increase their revenue. So it's totally legal, totally fine. And from my side, I think it's totally, totally moral.  If if if you use the same information as your current ebay store, which is your personal information, your name, your address and everything, your billing information, your phone number, your email address. eBay will connect your two stores really, really quickly, even if you're you're on different computers. So and they don't want you to have they don't mind if you have multiple stores, OK, you can have even 10 stores or or even more. You can have however much you want, but they are all going to be linked and connected together. So when you're creating your second store, you can do so. And but by taking someone's information, but not stealing anyone's information, rather asking for permission, like in my example, my first ebay store is on my personal information, my my name and, you know, all of my details. And my second ebay store is on my wife's name. Now, rather it now, granted, it's under the same address. It's not under the same phone numbers. It's not under the same email addresses and it works. It's been working for me for the last five years and, you know, the they are not linked together and this is a good way to do it. So if you guys have connections with family members, friends, just ask for their permission to use their information to to create a new ebay store. And if they didn't create one themselves, if they don't need one, then there is your legal right to do so, of course, all under permissions. And then there is absolutely no problem with it whatsoever. eBay, however, does not allow you to simply Google someone's information and just find random people and try to add them as your personal information that is not going to work, whether you're using a good stealth account or not. It's actually very, it's very beneficial for you to use an existing account. And if any of your friends or family members have an existing ebay buyer account or Amazon account, then this account already has a lot of trust in it. It has like a lot of behavioral data, which means that Amazon and eBay will less likely suspend this account due to, let's say, any specific activity. So this is actually very beneficial for you as well. That's right. That's a great tip. So if you guys have access, by the way, there are marketplaces where you can actually buy used eBay accounts that are still working. So one of the ways to do it is, of course, to go to those marketplaces and try to talk with the people. But don't just buy things without really taking a look. Speak to those buyers, ask to see their screen using TeamViewer or any desk or any of those remote platforms where you can see the other person's desktop, see that he's browsing through his eBay store, see that it's not suspended or anything and then continue with the purchase process. While it could set you back a few dollars, on the other hand, you're not starting from scratch, you're not starting with 10 limits and then starting your way slowly to build it up from there. So if you have some extra cash, that is a great shortcut and a great tip. So Stan, my next question to you after we spoke about the legal aspects is what are the best practices for using stealth accounts? But we pretty much touched up on this on the subject in our previous question, guys. So of course, make sure that you are not stealing anyone's information. You are using real people's information, but those who actually gave you permission to do so. This I would say is the number one tip for running stealth accounts because the rest of the stuff, the technical stuff, we're going to get to that soon. So, Stan, our next question. Is there a chance when I'm using proxies? And for those of you who don't know, we're also going to talk about the definition of that soon. But when we're creating multiple stealth accounts, one of the things that we need are proxies. And is there a chance that I'm going to use, that I'm going to get a proxy, use it on multi-login and get a recycled IP, which means an IP that someone already got in the past or even just a low-quality IP, where computers can see really quickly, can detect really quickly that you're not, it's not a real IP, you're not a real person in that specific location. What are the chances of something like that happening? Liran, you're just amazing with your question, so really good question. Thank you. First of all, an IP address is a parameter that websites can use to identify you. Yes, an IP address is a very important parameter that websites utilize to understand where you're located and also it is used to uniquely identify you. Now, to answer your question about the risk of getting the same IP address when creating multiple accounts, I need to first briefly speak of different types of IP addresses and different types of proxies, because for each type of proxy the situation is very different and websites like they utilize different algorithms and methods to understand if whether you should be blocked based on the fact that the IP is the same with multiple of your accounts or if the IP address has been used by some other person for creation of this account. Now, so there are multiple types of public IP addresses and proxies. The first type is data center proxy. Now, the data center proxy means that the IP address belongs to a server. These IP addresses are used to host websites. These IP addresses are used to host databases. Essentially, whenever you connect through a data center proxy or data center IP, websites can see that you essentially have a data center IP. They can see that by checking the internet service provider of that IP address. They can check that. So in other words, I could go to a proxy website right now, sign up for a proxy, get my own proxy, get my own IP. Guys, for those of you who don't know, a proxy is simply an IP address that's from a different location, not from your location, which means you can create another account and it's not from the same computer, not the same location. So proxy essentially changes your IP address and you can go ahead and even buy a data center proxy and then connect through a new account. And the website will see that it's a data center IP address, that it's a data center proxy.  So that's not too bad. That's okay. However, in this specific case, a data center IP can be used as a unique identifier because it is very unlikely that this IP address will belong to somebody else. So if a website sees that you have a data center IP, if you have a data center IP, it can mean two things.  And in our situation, it's the second one, the second option. It's actually like from the logic of the website, it doesn't really matter. In this case, the website can block this IP address because the likelihood of this IP address appearing on normal users is very small. Now, if we transition to residential IP addresses, for example, Liran, you're currently on your home network and you have a static IP address. Static IP address means that your IP address is not changing over time. Moving, it's always the same. Yes, and if you go ahead to go on eBay and sell, and for some reason, eBay blocks your account, then it's very easy to block that static IP address because this static IP address is an identity identifier for you. However, the situation is very, very different for mobile proxies or IPs and dynamic residential IP addresses. The thing is that for mobiles, first of all, we have to understand that there is a limited number of IP addresses in the world. It's not enough. There is not enough IP addresses. There is not enough IP addresses in the world. So what websites, what internet service providers do is that they recycle the same IP addresses, especially for mobile phones. Right now, I am connected to a cell tower. And, Liran, if you would be in the same room or in the same location, it is very likely that you will have the same IP address on my phone. You will have the same IP address as my phone. So two people can have the same IP address and surf at the same time? Yes, absolutely. This is due to NIT technology that ISPs have developed. So, and this happens. And this is because we don't have enough IP addresses in the world. And how can this be advantageous to us? Now, the thing is that right now, if we go ahead and create an eBay account on a mobile IP address, how incentivized is eBay to ban this IP address? It is not, because if it does, it risks banning other good users as well. But they still do it if there is an IP that got banned. Yes, but they are not incentivized to do it for mobile IPs. They may be incentivized to do it for static data center IPs, but they don't want to do it for mobile IPs. Okay, okay. And this is why we actually recommend using mobile IP addresses, mobile proxies. They can be a bit more expensive than normal data center proxies, but they are really, really good, like alternative and a really secure way how you can have more different IP addresses and also not get them blocked. So database IP addresses can not be multiple. We cannot have duplicate from data centers, but we can get them on mobile proxies, mobile IPs, which at the end of the day, multiplies like eBay will not ban recycled ones because they understand that these IPs are duplicated because they are simply not enough IPs, as you just explained. More or less, absolutely, yes. So maybe they can ban it if you open multiple accounts at the same time, but if there is some specific pause between them, then it is unlikely that they will ban them. Okay, so as long as you're not doing anything suspicious, not suspicious, you should completely stay under the radar there. Yep. And actually one of the recommendations we give if you don't have a budget for mobile proxies, what you can do is you can simply connect your phone to your computer, share that IP address to your computer, open first account, work with it, close it, and then turn off and turn on the airplane mode to recycle the IP address to a new one, and open a second profile. And this way your IP address, every profile will have a unique IP address and it will be mobile and it will be residential, it will be high quality and the likelihood of your accounts getting banned due to bad IP or recycled IP is considerably, is very low, is very low. Okay, so by opening a personal hotspot on my cell phone, and of course it's worth mentioning that the cell phone should not be connected to your Wi-Fi, right? Because then you're using the same, because then you're getting an IP from your router, which can then be seen by eBay, they know they have this information. So your cell phone needs to be connected to the 3G, 4G, 5G cellular network, whatever you guys have, then connect your computer's Wi-Fi connection to your phone's personal hotspot. And when you do that, you're actually getting a unique, a recycled or unique, you can call it whatever you want, but it's mobile, which means it's much, much better than doing it on your desktop. But this way, let's say I'm doing it, let's say I'll do it one way like this, I'll create my first eBay account, then I'll turn on airplane mode, I'll turn off airplane mode, and let's see the next day I'll create another account by connecting once again my computer to my cell phone. But how could I go back to that first IP address? I won't really be able to, I just need to always use a new IP address every time I connect to one of my stores. Absolutely, and the reason why websites will not think it's suspicious that you have a unique IP address every time for the same account is because the mobile IPs are already dynamic, they change all the time. They, because even when you travel from one location to another, you move to another cell tower and that cell tower has different IP range. And as a result, it is totally normal behavior that IP addresses change. The only thing that is consistent, but we still preserve a so-called IP information consistency because the internet service provider will be the same and the city will be also the same. Before I get to the next question, if you still don't understand what we're talking about, what are proxies, what do they have to do with IP addresses and what does all that have to do with multi-login? It's all going to connect soon but it's really important to understand the basics of how these things work before we get down to the technicalities. Stan, what technologies exist today that allow platforms, big platforms like eBay and Amazon and browsers like Google Chrome to detect that we're running multiple accounts on the one computer? Let me just rephrase that for those who are not, once again, very tech-savvy or that go in depth about this stuff. If I create multiple accounts today on my computer right here, how does e- how do big platforms like eBay, Amazon and Google Chrome how do they know that we are the same person under the same physical location? What technologies do they have to be able to detect that we are not using, that we are not different profiles from different locations? These are called browser fingerprints and I will try to explain what it is. Now, by browser fingerprints, we talk, when I talk about browser fingerprints, I mean different various browser parameters. And whenever you go open a browser without even logging in into any of the account, the websites such as eBay, Amazon, Google and Facebook are already able to see a lot of identifiable information about you. We've talked about the first important one, which is your IP address, but there's also other types of information such as your video card, what kind of computer you're running, what kind of programs you have installed, what is your operating system? They have access to all of this information. So even if I block my IP, even if I buy another IP address, it's not necessarily enough. And the thing is, is that this type of information like browser fingerprints is not even governed by GDPR. So they can collect this information without even taking consent of the user. For cookies, yes, they have to take consent. But all of this information is called kind of like passive information. It is true, it's passive. It's like just execution of code in the browser and there's a result collection of that information on their own databases, but they have a lot of information. And we call this information browser fingerprints. And the way how they utilize like this information to detect multiple accounts, there are two ways how they do go about it. The first way is that they use it to identify you. Like Liran, I see that you have a blue shirt, you have a beard, you have a haircut the way you have this haircut. And by combining these parameters, I can understand that it's you Liran. So if I change my shirt to a red color, you still have the rest of the parameters to know that it's still me. Absolutely, exactly, yes. So by combining these parameters, possible to understand that it's still you if you're not changing this browser fingerprints. The second way how they can understand like if you're running multiple accounts is by checking for consistency. And for consistency, I mean like even if you go ahead and change a proxy to a different location, there is a browser fingerprint called time zone.  And as a result, we can block your account. In your situation Liran, I can see that you have a red shirt, but I know Liran never wears a red shirt. I know this for sure. And so I can say you're fake Liran as a result, just an analogy. A stealth, a bad quality stealth Liran. Yes. Exactly, very interesting. And what does multi-logging do to protect that information from being connected and networked with our additional accounts? Once we set up multi-logging, we've got several different browsers. We got them all connected to proxies. What does multi-logging do to really save me from the technologies of today to leak out my information and let the marketplaces or wherever I am know who I am. Good question. So the obvious logical conclusion is that we need to change these fingerprints so the website doesn't detect that it's the same person, that you're like the same person. However, if you change too much parameters, then you will become like a purple cow. It is possible to distinguish you from the herd of cows. And it is possible to ask a question, why is it so different? The same analogy with the red shirt. And what multi-logging essentially does, is that it provides you with browser profiles that are distinct enough to the website to perceive it as a different profile. And also makes it so that the changes inside these browser profiles are also real, correspond to what normal user do. So it creates browser profiles that are distinct and at the same time, also real. Now there are two more terms that we haven't talked about. VPS and VM. And what exactly, how is multi-logging better?  And then I would like you to tell us how multi-logging actually is different from our VPS and virtual machines and VMs. Right, yes. So VM is a virtual machine. VPS is a virtual private server. And this is a computer that you can connect to remotely and arguably we can say that it's a different machine. It has a unique IP address. It has a unique sets of parameters. And we know that a lot of people stop using virtual private servers and virtual machines because they're slow and they're detectable and they come to use multi-logging because it's faster and more secure. However, there are still some people who believe that virtual machines and virtual private servers are better and I totally understand why. However, for those people who still use it, use virtual private servers and virtual machines, you have to understand that if you go ahead and create a virtual machine or a virtual private server, then websites can understand that you're running this profile or account on a virtual machine or a VPS. There are browser fingerprints that reveal this. One thing, one very simple example is number of CPU cores. This is just a number of CPU cores on normal machine and laptops. It's a minimum of two cores per machine. It is impossible to find a machine that has one core. It should have at least two cores. However, when you launch a virtual private server or a virtual machine, open a browser there, the website can see that you have only one core and that is impossible. This way, a website can see that something is fishy here and it might make a decision to block you because you're using a virtual private server. So one of the ways that the VPS or the VM actually gives out the fact that you're actually using, that you're not who you are and where you are, is because they allocated just one core to you and that's just one example. They allocated just one core to you and technologies today, eBay, Amazon and more, they know that no one is using one core PCs today to make it too slow and to make any sense and that's one of the ways that they actually flag your account. Lira, I would like to even go further and give an example that how do you also connect to these virtual machines or virtual private servers? You use a team viewer or you use remote desktop connection and the thing is websites can pick up and see that you are connecting to, your connect, websites can actually see that you're using team viewer or remote desktop connection by scanning for your ports and that is not even a theory. There are many articles out there that show how eBay scans for your ports. It's just there, they scan for your ports and they scan if you have team viewer or RDP connection. It is not even questionable. They do it, they scan it and we can argue that they also block accounts based on this information. Okay, so we already talked about things that we can, things that we do to or don't do that end up in us being detected and failing in running these stuff accounts but is there any chance that our multiple accounts through multi-login will be detected and linked together? Like if I wanna have five accounts, is there a chance that my accounts will be linked up together and connected? So ultimately, if we talk about like browser fingerprints or browser parameters, the likelihood of this happening based on browser fingerprints is very unlikely. Usually the linking of accounts happens due to like accidentally using the same data center proxy or maybe launching the browser profile on the same IP address. Sometimes when you input information inside that account that actually can link, like link accounts together, this is possible way how accounts can get linked. Which is what I mentioned, like if you guys are using the same phone number or the same email address or between two different accounts or the same ID number then it's also going to be linked together. Or like I mentioned, if you make regular human mistakes like I have two servers and I have two multi-login profiles and instead of adding one proxy to each, I added the same proxy to both of them by mistake. I'm a human, it happens. So, but just through multi-login and through browser fingerprints, it shouldn't happen. It shouldn't happen. It's very unlikely because like we also, in multi-login we kind of try to really understand how to use browser fingerprints. We have our own research team that is dedicated to understanding browser fingerprints. And you have to also work on trying to detect in order to create a solution to get undetected. And from our current understanding, if we mask a specific browser parameters that multi-login is already providing, it's close to impossible. And for those of you who are still with us, first of all, great job. You're already getting some valuable information. There is more bonuses for you coming up soon even though we are getting towards the end of the interview but there is a special bonus that Stan will also mention soon. And we're also gonna show you a live demo of how all of this actually works. Okay, so let's move on. Now, we've pretty much answered this once or twice but let me know if you have any more insights here. What best practices can you recommend to run multiple stealth accounts without getting those bands or accounts linking together and all of that? Yeah, so we've basically covered most of them. One thing I would like to add is warm up your browser profile before you go ahead and create an account. And what I mean by this is that you open a browser, browser profile, go to eBay or Amazon website, crawl the website a bit. Let's say click on one product, put it to cart, search something and then just close this browser profile and wait a handful of one to three days. Wait this period, open this browser profile and go ahead and register an account. This is a very good like hygiene practice for warming up your account. And the reason why it works is because websites utilize a couple of algorithms which kind of they put higher trust if the account registration comes from a user that they have spotted before. And the way they do that is just by placing cookies inside your browser and they will place cookie inside your browser profile and when you come back, eBay and Amazon will think, well, this user has existed before, hence we will increase the trust score for this user. This is something that I would highly recommend to do. This can really, really change the game if you have your accounts getting blocked. So show some human behavior, show that you're a real human being and not some bot that's creating multiple accounts, that's getting all these IP addresses, stealth accounts, whatever, it's good, it's not good enough. We still need to show the algorithms that we are a human being. We're browsing on the websites, we're adding things to our cards. And once again, we're not just automated bots creating accounts every other minutes. Okay, what other use cases are there for creating multiple stealth accounts if we haven't mentioned at least the better part of it? One thing I've talked about is actually SEO. This is a very interesting case where you actually create multiple browser profiles to go ahead in these, go ahead when going ahead and opening browser profiles and then searching your product in the search. And as a result, like finding that product, clicking on that product, doing some activity on that product and as a result, your product can go higher in the search rankings. Okay, very interesting. And our next question, and this is actually a very important question that a lot of people want to know, especially the people who have been listening up until now and gathered all of this valuable information. How much is this going to put me back? I want to create my stealth accounts. I want to have multiple stores. I want to have multiple buyer accounts. Before we get to the demo and show how it's done, how much is this going to set me back? What are the prices? What are the costs of multi-logging? Multi-logging price starts from 99 euros per month and it scales down based on the amount of browser profiles or accounts you can hold. So if the solo plan itself, it contains 100 browser profiles, which means you can manage a total of 100 accounts for the subscription. If you go ahead and purchase for, if you go ahead and commit for the solo plan that includes these 100 browser profiles and you have 100 stealth accounts, this basically means that you're paying around one euro per account. It scales a bit significantly as you increase the amount of browser profiles. So the next tire is the team plan, which costs 199 euros and then scale, which costs 399 euros includes 1000 browser profiles. And then after that, it's custom pricing. For anyone who's listening, if these prices sound a lot to you, once you're scaling, it's really nothing and I can tell you this from experience. Even starting from the first one at 20 euros a month and we didn't even talk about the bonus yet, but even starting at 20 euros a month, getting 100 browser profiles, meaning I can have another 100 stores, I would even pay 20 euros a month for just having one more store. And that is because from one to two cells, you're making back those 20 euros. And then what is that for having a whole store or another 100 stores? And once you start to scale 20 to 100 to 300 euros is really, really nothing. And I value money. I don't think it grows on trees, but when you're scaling, these prices that you just mentioned are really nothing, but please go ahead and continue. Yeah, and for those who are listening, I would like to give you a good discount. You can actually use a promo code below. It will be provided in the description below this video and it will grant you a 50% off your second purchase. Okay, and there you go.  We're going to leave a promo link. We're going to leave a promo code right under this video in the video description. Use that, get your discount, and hey, make more profit. Try it out, see if it works for you. See if you like having multiple accounts and making more profit. And yeah, make your decision from there. Stan. Cool. Is it easy to start creating multiple undetectable stealth accounts? Super easy. Multi-login kind of like automates everything for you and does it outside of the box. And without me talking, how about if I show how to do it? Let's do it. So this is how a multi-login interface works. As soon as you get your subscription plan, you're able to create browser profiles. And to create a browser profile where you will create a stealth account, you will just need to navigate to create new. And here you can create a browser profile. Now it's so easy as you would just need to add a name and then add it to a specific folder if you need and click create. But before we go, let's just go over a couple of settings. Now here you can choose an operating system. Operating system basically means what operating system you're showing to that website. We recommend you use the same operating system where you are working. So if it's Windows, you create Windows browser profile. If you have Mac OS devices, you have Apple products, then you create Mac OS browser profiles. There's different browsers. We have Stelfox browser and Mimic browser. Stelfox browser shows to the website that you're using Firefox. Mimic shows to the website that you're using Chrome. We recommend Mimic for eBay and Amazon accounts. The next setting is actually edit proxy settings. And whenever you get a specific proxy, you buy a proxy, then you can just place the proxy right here. Are there any proxy sites that you recommend? By the way, guys, these are two different things. So one, we're creating a browser profile on multi-login. And two, we're connecting the proxy to it, okay, the Stelf IP address, if you will, and we're adding it to that browser profile. Right, so yes, we have proxy demonstration right here. Actually, we do have a list of proxies that we recommend. You can go to multi-login.com slash proxy where we list our recommendations. And this link will also be in the description of this video. Should go without saying, but of course, high-quality proxies, right? Yes, exactly. Now, this proxy is just for demonstration purposes. We've added the proxy right here and we can check if the proxy is working. And we can see that the proxy has passed and we can use it. And we can see that the country is actually Greece and the time zone is Athens. So we can create a profile before I'm gonna check if I will put it in the group and we can create a profile. So we have this profile right here created. And instead of using this one, I have a couple of browser profiles created right here and I will launch them as well. They also have different IP addresses, different proxies assigned to them. So here we've got four different browsers, four different proxies, which means we have four different computers that's actually running under the same computer without the lag, without the latency of connecting to remote desktop connections. Absolutely, correct. So right now we have two browser profiles and both of these browser profiles are showing the IP address that belongs to United States. So it's a US IP address. And the thing is, is that it not only has unique IP addresses per browser profile, it also shows browser parameters that are different between each other. So it's essentially, this is a different computer and this is a totally distinct computer from this browser profile. They all have their different browser fingerprints. They all give legit information. And what we did up until now is we simply signed up for multi-login. We created our browser profiles. We added our proxies, which you can find at multi-login's website. They have some recommended proxies there that you can use. Add that proxy to your browser profile, click on start on the right side to start that browser profile, and that will open up the browser. And what you do after that, once you see that the information is really correct, that it's not using your own local IP address, which you can see by simply going to what is my IP. So what we're seeing here are two different browsers. So that means that on both of these browsers, I can log into ebay.com right now, create two separate accounts, and they're simply not going to be linked together. And actually, when you go to ebay.com, you can connect it, connect to ebay.com. You can also then close the browser profile. And whenever you launch it again, you can get access to your Amazon account immediately because cookies and session data will be saved. So one of the biggest differences that I'm noticing here from the way that I'm used to working is that there is no long distance remote desktop connection here. It's not laggy, it's not working slow. You don't get disconnected in the middle of your work. And everyone knows that sluggish work, it's no fun working with a computer that's not really moving and that's freezing up all the time. And this is what we're getting from remote desktops where we're using those software, those types of software to connect to our long distance computers or to our proxy connections, which hopefully the marketplace will not be able to detect because we are using remote desktop connection and they know that. Okay, yeah, so I'm seeing some significant differences here.

Sam, before we wrap this up, we went over all of the important things. Is there anything that you would like to add? Well, I think we've talked about most of the important aspects of running stealth accounts using multi-login. I do want to point out that don't forget to experiment. Like if you're really serious about running multiple stealth accounts, one thing I highly recommend is that you really understand browser fingerprinting, what is it and how it works, at least to a specific extent. I invite you to come to our YouTube channel and check what content we have over there. And just educate yourself what is browser fingerprinting because it can help you in the long run when if you have any issues then you can effectively troubleshoot these issues or bands that you have. Hopefully you will not have any bands and restrictions but these things can happen. And if you have the technical acumen to perform this analysis, then it can go a really long way. Don't forget to experiment and educate yourself. This is very important in this industry. I completely agree with you. That's why we have all the content that we're sharing all the time in our blog page and our YouTube channel. The more knowledge that we have, the more information we have before we start something, the better that we'll be able to do it. The higher our success rate will be and we're not trying to guess. We are experimenting, we are testing but we're doing it with knowledge. We're coming with knowledge and we're not just diving in without knowing anything and hoping for the best. That is a formula for failure. So of course, upgrade your guys knowledge and there you go. There you have it. Multilogin is a great platform to run multiple browsers with multiple proxies and have multiple stealth accounts the right way, the legit way without any slowdowns without any interruptions.

What is going on ladies and gentlemen and welcome to another Bitcoin daily video in today's video We are talking again about institutional investors. We're going to go over some more data on What's been driving this bull run all year long? We're going to show you proof That institutional investors have been pushing this price up, which is why there's less price fluctuations And we haven't had those 30 drops that we saw in 2017 When the bull run was led by retail investors and not institutional investors Make sure to stay tuned guys. You don't want to miss this video guys Make sure that you like and subscribe guys hit that notification bell and drop a comment Let us know if you've been in this bull run And if you guys are interested in using the exchange that we use We use bybit and in the description We have a link where you guys can sign up to do that and you'll be able to get some rewards on your initial deposit Up to around a hundred dollars or more. So without further ado, let's jump right in guys So next thing we want to talk about is this chart right here as you can see this is from crypto Quant and They specialize in a bunch of different analytics and Analytical charts. So it's very very interesting. You guys want to check it out crypto Quant.com, I believe But basically what this is here you can see here as it says on this tweet BTC wells seem exhausted to sell fewer wells are depositing to exchanges I think this bull run will continue as institutional investors keep buying an exchange while ratio keeps below 85 percent so This line right here is the 85 percent line anytime that we're below 85 percent The price continues up and the bull run continues up But when we're above 85 percent that means that that's when wells are looking are basically selling So when the money is in the exchange That means that That they're looking to Sell or trade their positions when the money is off of the exchanges That means that they're probably off in cold wallets and other things like that And they're not looking to to trade it or sell it. You're looking to hold it So here is the same graph in 2020 march Um, when the exchange when the exchange well ratio was ranging between 85 percent to 90 percent And you can see how bitcoins at that point bitcoins price was kind of stuck And then that's when there was a huge drop, right? Then in 2018 november's great sell-off It was also ranging between 85 percent to 90 percent, right as you guys can see here in november The the ratios the exchange ratios were up So That led eventually to a sell-off here Then if we take a look at 2019 during the bull run when we ran up to about 15k Uh, it was like 13 14k something like that. You can see that the range of this was under that 85 percent So when it when it stayed off when it stayed below 85 percent You see that the price took off that meant because at that point when it's under 85 percent The wells aren't looking to trade or sell what they have you're looking to hold at that point and then Last but not least in 2017 during the run to the previous all-time highs You can see that it was for the majority of the part. It was under it was below that 85 percent Now, of course, there's always exceptions to the to these things and there's always, you know Times will it will be over 85 percent or under 85 percent and the price will still go down Or over 85 percent of price will go up But for the most part we're trying to look we look back on historical data And we try to figure out patterns at this point everybody's trying to figure out at this point Everyone's trying to figure out how far this market market cycle is going to go So, um, that's the things like this just help us out to to you know, to know whether it is to continue Longing or to start taking profits or to be more cautious with trades stuff like that All right, so as we continue to analyze this bull run um We continue to look for uh, what's you know causing this bull run Um, as you guys can see here. This is bitcoins realized market cap, right? It's currently around 186.6 billion dollars as of uh, december 28th Institutional investors are currently holding about 16 percent of Bitcoins realized market cap you can see you can see here that grayscales Acid under management is currently around 19 billion dollars And institutions assets under management is around 30 billion dollars, right? So that's about 49 billion dollars, which is around a 16 percent of bitcoins realized market cap So that just proves that this bull run so far Has been led by institutional investors. It's been led by institutions So the good is that they're probably putting their money in cold wallets and they're taking money off of exchanges They're not you know on exchanges just looking to trade in and out Um, so it won't make it won't let the bitcoins price fluctuate so much So we won't have uh, it might prevent like those 30 drop-offs like we had in 2017 When the bull run was led by retail investors. It basically might make Bitcoin a lot more stable and as retail investors start coming in Then it's just gonna continue to shoot the bitcoin price up We can see here some of the institutions What whatever it is that they currently have on record and you can see how much they have Um, and how much what how much they're up, right? So, uh, for example, micro strategy Um, they put in around 1.1 billion dollars Um, and it's currently worth 1.6 billion dollars. That is insane So they have around 70 000 bitcoins that they're currently holding And then you can just kind of look down this list and see all the different companies holding bitcoin Um, that's been leading this bull run You get here square, you know that they invested 50 million and that's currently worth 111 million So they've already more than doubled their money. That's just crazy to think here's grayscale And as you guys know, this is a little late because this is at 13 billion. They're currently up around 19 billion So that's pretty crazy They have uh, half a million they have over half a million bitcoins that they're that they're under management right now So pretty crazy stuff to look at guys. Um, that all kind of points to what we've been talking about Um, kind of hammering in the point that This bull run has been led by institutional investors not by retail So 2017 was led by retail investors Which is why Great bitcoins price was able to fluctuate so much and we had like daily 30 drops and daily You know 30 games um, you know this time around we've been It hasn't been fluctuating as much guys. I hope you guys are enjoying this video so far Make sure to please hit that like button and drop a comment Let us know what you think about institutional investors And if you think they're going to keep coming in or if you think they're eventually going to pull out Make sure to hit that like button drop a comment. Let us know what you think and now we're about to tell you When is the retail phone we're going to come in? So that's what we're covering next if we go ahead and pull up the google trends This is kind of more or less how you can tell The the retail investors if they're coming in yet or not um Look at look at google trends In 2017 right that was at 100 in 2017 So during that bull run during the all time the all time high We were at 100 right? Look at where we're currently at right now. We're at about 33 So that means we're 33 percent of the way to where we were um in 2017 as far as retail investors go that means retail investors are still not Searching it like they were in 2017 The FOMO has not began yet And I think that the FOMO is going to begin in Next year in 2021 Which is going to lead the bitcoin price higher This is what could take us, you know for more we're currently at which is that like around 28 000 and could just shoot us up to like $50,000 in 2021 It's insane to think about I know but this is currently the reality of where we're at So all in all guys, um as you can see This bull run to new all-time highs has been led By institutional investors the big players have entered the game This year which has pushed that bitcoin price Uh retail FOMO isn't even here yet and that's what's gonna lead I believe in 2021 Retail FOMO is going to it's what's gonna drive bitcoin's price even higher So, um, I still think that from this point where we're currently at we could still double the price Next year, so we might have another triple digit percentage Year-to-date percentage next year in 2021. That is not out of the question But that's it for today guys. I hope you guys enjoyed this video. I hope it brought you guys some new insight Um, I just want to give I like to give you guys different Different little points of information Um as much as possible You know if the information is out there I try to look for it and find it for you guys and bring it to your attention So that then you guys in return can make the best decisions possible with your own investments guys Make sure you like this video. Uh drop a comment. Let me think what you think Let me know what you think will happen next year with bitcoin's price Do you think we can double next year again and go from what we're currently at around 28k to Over 50k in 2021.
