Awesome. Okay. All right. Let's get started from where we left off, but let's do a quick recap. So what all did we cover in so far in Chapter 3? Okay. So Francis just said demons. So demons of Francis. Okay. All right. All right. Let's go. What have you covered so far? Okay. Deacons. What does the meaning of deacons? Okay. What's the Greek word for deacons? Yeah. Dioconos. Dioconos. You've got to sound like a Greek dude when you say that. Maximus Decemus Medidius. Okay. What else? Apostolos. Apocalypse is the end of the world, dude. Yes. So I don't know what that is. Apocalypse. Apostolos. Okay. Good fun. Good fun. All right. What did we learn from the first local church? Jerusalem local church? Just brief points that you remember. Right on top of your head, right? Right. Yeah. They watched Jesus. They learned from his own life. Okay. And we see the emergence of deacons in Acts Chapter 6. It simply means to serve, help, attend to and whatnot. And the way they chose those people, it's brilliant, right?  It's amazing. They took responsibility account. That means there was a sense of accountability as well with that. Okay. And what else? Women were also part of this, were also deacons who were in many local churches as we see that. Sorry. Yeah. So they were not only responsible for administrative work, but they were also encouraged to take part in spiritual ministry, right? And that resulted in, yeah, science and medicine wonders, and that resulted in new churches being raised, new local churches in different regions being raised as well. Okay. And so with that, we see that there was an emergence of elders as well.  And let's see what the notes and the Bible has to say about the emergence of elders. Okay. So in Acts Chapter 11, we see the leader at Jerusalem referred to as elders. Okay. In Acts Chapter 11, we can go through that entire chapter when you can. So that's where this word is being introduced for the first time. The elders or the leaders, sorry, the leaders in the local church of Jerusalem are referred to, okay, as elders. So that means a bunch of people saying, okay, hey, they, this group is called the elders. Okay. So they also did and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul. One of the references in Acts Chapter 11 was 30. So they are referring to, they sent it to the elders, you know, they are referring to this group of people or leaders as elders. Okay. Now let's read Acts Chapter 14, verse 21 to 23. Acts Chapter 14, verse 21 to 23. And probably the next class, what I'll do is run through the entire timeline of the Book of Acts. Okay. So Book of Acts is written by who? Luke. Okay. He's, yes. Okay. For those of you online, I think people here in class have had extra coffee, extra tea, and so, yeah. So the Gospel of Luke, part two, okay. And who is he writing it to? The Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts. He's writing it to his friend called Theophilus. Okay. So that's the context. So he's writing to a friend, all of these records. So the next class, as I mentioned, we'll go through the timeline of the entire Book of Acts. Like what is the actual year span? Like how many years, you know, does the book of Acts actually span over? So we'll do that in the next class. So in Acts Chapter 14, verse 21 and 23, we are again looking at the emergence of elders. What it really means is, okay, verse 21 it says, And when they had preached the Gospel to that city and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch. Strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, we must, through many tribulations, enter the kingdom of God. Verse 23, to our context. So when they had appointed elders in every church and prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed. Okay. So in verse 23, the key word, they're appointed elders. The Greek word appointed word, the word used there is ordained. Yeah, ordained. So are you an ordained minister of God? We ask, no? Like, are you ordained? Where were you ordained? When were you ordained? So the simple understanding of what ordain is means to appoint or to elect or to choose or to be in charge of. Okay, so that's what it really is. So that means, it goes on to say that these elders that says they appointed elders, that means they were elected. And it was not just one person's decision, the group of people were involved. Sometimes the congregation was involved in choosing, okay, we elect this person as an elder or we elect so and so as the elders of this church. Are you with me? So another important thing, again, to ponder on is the word elder. When we think of that word, the meaning of the word elder is what? Older. Okay, so back then what they would choose, the way they would choose is, or they would consider most of the elders were older in age, but young in the Christian walk because they were just saved or new believer as we call it, right? New believer, but they've come long enough to have enough spiritual maturity above everybody else. Are you following? Right, so they were spiritually mature, although they were new believers, they were spiritually mature and they were older in age. Hence elders, okay? So it also means a presbytero. Presbytero is another Greek word called presbyteros. It simply means spiritual leader, so it's like, and that's where we get the word presbyterian and one of the denominations, right? As presbyterian, okay? So that's the word elder comes from the Greek word presbyteros. So in many sense, you know, you're like the spiritual leaders here in college, like your leadership in a sense, right? So and, you know, when you take up some leadership role in the church, it can be addressed or referred to as, yeah, presbyter. Yeah, presbyterian is become a denomination. And I think I'm not sure if I mentioned that there are at least 40,000 odd denominations. Okay, so guys, we're going on a journey now. All right, we see apostles right from the day of Pentecost, 120 people, 12 apostles being selected and the 12 apostles choosing deacons, seven deacons. And then, you know, I'm sure they've multiplied. And then from there on, we see elders, right? And this the context behind us understanding what elders is, is take someone taking responsibility or group of people taking responsibility or two or three olderly people, but spiritually mature. We're known as elders, but it simply means presbyter, okay? Then we go on to see in Acts chapter 15, where they worked as one team, apostles and elders and deacons. Now it's all coming under one kind of bracket now, elders and deacons. And they continue to function as one team. Okay, for example, I'm not going to go through the entire verse there in Acts chapter 15 in your notes. Page 20, 30 in your hard copy and page 20 in your soft copies. Acts chapter 15 verse one, two, six and 22. Now, what is the context there is, sorry? I beg your pardon? Consul? Consul? No, yeah, Acts chapter 15, yeah. Yeah, so what is happening there is, there is going to, a big major debate is happening between Peter and Apostle Paul and the group of people. Okay, so the proper Jews are saying, like, you know, people, the leaders in Jerusalem are saying, if a Gentile wants to follow Jesus, he has to be circumcised. Paul is saying, no, not necessary. Okay, so here's the thing in verse six of that chapter, Acts chapter 15, it says, now the apostles and elders came together to consider this matter. Okay, that means to discuss about this thing. Okay, so saying, you know what, it's not like, okay, we are deciding on this. This is what you have to follow. It wasn't like that. Again, just like how to solve in Acts chapter six, the problem was there. Okay, they were being, you know, ignored and they were not served properly. Come, let's get together. Let's reason together. Let's discuss on this matter and see how we can solve this. Now, this is not just a food issue. This is a doctor, you know, the doctrine issue here. But still, the method remains the same. The principle is they come together, let's function together as one team. Okay, you can have different titles, whatever it is, but let's do something that is good for the people. Are you guys with me? Okay, and Paul, again, constantly uses these words in his, using the word elders in his other epistles and he says, you know, in Acts chapter 20, he refers to elders in the church of Ephesus. A church in Ephesus is like, okay, hey, elders, let's have a team meeting. I'm going to be coming here. Let's meet in Cafe Coffee Day in Jerusalem. Okay, let's talk about this. Okay. And so they function together as one team. And I want us to look at another very important word in Acts chapter 20 verse 28. Actually, I'll read verse 17 also. Acts chapter 20 verse 17. It says, from Miletus, he sent to Ephesus and called for the elders of the church. So he was in one place, they are in another place, but he called. He must have sent a letter, say, okay, hey, let's meet. Okay, to the elders of the church. But verse 28 is amazing. It says, therefore take heed to yourself and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. You can highlight that word overseers. To shepherd the church of God, which he purchased with his own blood. Okay, so now we see another title being introduced here as a church of God. Right, for the house of God, the household of God, the local church is also known as a church of God. And the word before that is overseers. Okay, everybody say overseer.  From the word overseer. Okay, it again, it is in the context to feed the flock. That means to shepherd the flock, to guide them, to lead them, okay, to take them and to take care of them. And it is from that same root word, we get the word pastor. It means the same, right? Right, pastor, bishop. Bishop, just keep increasing, huh? Yeah. My name is Bishop Reverend Pastor Ocean Jonas. Any more title and India will be saved, right? Yes, correct. So towards the end of this chapter, we are going to look at different systems of the church. And that we'll talk about the hierarchy and all of that. But initially the part at the core, we saw that they function together. The whole purpose was to serve better. Like that was their only agenda. That was their only objective is how can we serve the people better? How can we serve the people who are being added to this church better? That was their only objective. That was a heart of the matter, isn't it? So the same thing with presbyter, bishop, it was to feed the flock to take care and lead them as well. So the role of an elder or in other words a presbyter or a bishop or a shepherd or a pastor are the three things. Spiritual maturity, that means they had to set godly example. Okay, can I get an amen? They had to set a godly example of the Christian life. And then spiritual ministry that they need to be active in the word of God and doctrine. They need sound doctrine, not just anything. And spiritual oversight, that means God their flock. Okay, so they function together as one. All right, we need to scoot. Okay, let's just skip to the next section in page 22. I'm just going to skip the emergence of ministry teams. You can read that later. So from apostles, from 12 apostles to seven deacons to, I don't know how many elders every church must have had two or one or two, three. And then we eventually come to a place where there was one overseer for all of them. Answers your question, Anand. Okay, there was eventually one overseer to all of them. So we read that in the emergence and the section where emergence of senior leaders or pastors. Okay, so I mentioned in I think Acts chapter 15. Wait, that's a very important chapter. I hope we get it right. Now we'll read, okay, Acts chapter 15 will read from verse 13 to 19. I will request someone to read it. Okay, but the context is this, isn't it? The initial leader was who of the local church in Jerusalem? Peter. Yeah, and so he moves and then it was given to transfer to James. Okay, so with that in mind, we'll read Acts chapter 15 verse 13 to 19. Okay, thank you. So the key verse, you know, of all these four verses is verse 13 in Acts chapter 15. It says, after they finished speaking, that means from verse one to verse 12, other people were speaking, apostles and elders were speaking. And after they spoke, everybody gave, you know, voiced out their opinions, their suggestions and whatnot. But one person had the final call. That is James. It says after they finished speaking, James replied, brothers, thank you for speaking. Now listen to me. Are you with me? Okay, so this is the, this is where the introduction of say one overseer for a local church is being introduced as well. Okay, so that is a pastor. So in, and later we see, I'm just going to came through this section again. So we see Timothy being, you know, given responsibility to oversee a church as a pastor. And what are the, who else? Timothy, we look at both first Timothy there. And another example of this is a book of Revelation, right? But you know, Jesus is addressing different churches. One of the churches is the church of Ephesus. One of the churches is the church of Ephesus, right? And so it starts off by saying to a messenger at the church of Ephesus. Okay. The messenger comes from the, again, Greek word Angelos. Angelos means angel. So it can be mean both angel. That means. And also a pastor is known as a messenger or an angel because he's a messenger. Okay. Now, obviously Jesus is not going to give some divine instruction of how to run a church to an angel. So here in this context, it simply means a pastor. Are you with me? Now it becomes very easy if you have an NKJV version of the Bible is and you did you have Christology in the first year? Okay. So there you would have learned the difference between the angel and an angel. Okay. So the angel is what is referred to as Christophany or theophany. That means it's a manifestation of a pre-incarnate Christ. Joshua chapter five and all we see, you know, the captain of the Lord of Lord's armies, you know, stood before Joshua. So what is that? That is Christophany. That means pre-incarnate manifestation of Jesus Christ. That's what it is. So that's how you know the difference between the angel and an angel. Okay. So all of that again comes from the same Greek word, Angelos, pastor, et cetera, et cetera. All right. You guys all with me? All okay. What happened? I haven't heard that. Okay. Right. And every time in the Old Testament, you will time and time again read. Yeah. The angel of God showed up. The angel of God showed up. But if there was a messenger, an angel that brings an angel as in, but let's see, that's only the NKJV version of it. It's not there in every translation. But to understand if it's the angel of God or theophany, that's a pre-incarnate Christ, you have to read the entire context of the verse, not just one verse. Okay. But all of that in another subject, another day during lunchtime or something. Okay. Now, let's just talk about the five-fold ministers and team ministry. Okay. Five-fold ministers and team ministry. Okay. Just to, can I get someone online to go through that section? I hope everybody's okay online. Five-fold ministers and team ministry. All right. I'll go through it. The standing features we see in the book of Acts is team ministry. That means everybody worked a function together as a team. And so a couple of points that's mentioned over there is the local church is the place where ministries are to be birthed, equipped, and released. Okay. Where are you? I mean, soft copy page 23, page 34, hard copy. The local church is the place where ministries are to be birthed, equipped, and released. All ministries, five-fold ministries and others need to be rooted in the local church for spiritual refreshing and accountability. I'm just going through those points guys for us so that it's self-explanatory. All ministers, pastors, elders, deacons, other five-fold ministries and other believers coexist and function together in a local church. They coexist. Okay. And last point, the calling and ministry of some people will require them to go out to the world or to the body of Christ at large. Whereas others may be called to minister within their local church body. So I don't like to use an example, usually like compare the local church to something. But I heard one of the preachers do this. I really like that analogy. He says he said the local church is like the Noah's Ark. He said the local church or the church in general is like a Noah's Ark. Okay. Why? You step inside Noah's Ark. You know, it's not the seven-star cruise liner. Like, wow, swimming pool, all the, you know, pool, but is it? No, it wasn't, right? It's just all kinds of animals are there. Noah's Ark. You step inside and with all kinds of animals comes, you know, their smell. And whatnot. So it's not, it wasn't a great smelling place as well. Right? But it was the safest place on earth. Wasn't it? Yeah. So you step into a church. No church is perfect. You will find all kinds of characters. We use that word, no?   But it's the safest place on earth, isn't it? Right? And so I'm teaching worship ministry for the final years. One of the things we learned there is the difference between a local church worship team and a band. Okay. Now a local church worship team is exclusive and a band is inclusive. What does it mean? Is a band will say us four and no more. But the local church worship team is we have three auditions here. Guys, whoever wants to audition, come audition, be part of the worship team. But the band. Another thing is, is a boy band or girl band aged between so and so. No, whereas the worship team or local church worship team is again open to all of every age. Right? It's not just men or women, young people with older, but more of that in next year, third year worship ministry. You see, and you'll read more about it in first chronicles chapter 25, where in David's worship team, you see the young and the old were part of it. Right? And so that's a few things to ponder about is that for a successful church is one of the signs that I would say is that our two generations functioning together. Right? When you know the time when Joshua was fighting Amalekites, when Joshua was fighting Amalekites, Moses was up on the hill praying. Right? Now, when Joshua was losing the battle, the reinforcements were sent to whom? Normally, you would think, okay, those who was losing the battle, you would send more armies, more men. It's like, go guys, help him. No. But when Joshua was losing the battle down here, reinforcement was sent to Moses up there. Moses represents the father generation. Joshua represents the sons generation, sons and daughters. Don't get offended. Okay. So you need the father generation, the elders and us. We can't function without their prayers, without their support, without their encouragement. And it's a, we need to work hand in hand for a church to function well. Are you guys with me? Right? Okay. Cool. So we're going towards the last section of this chapter is the different forms of the church structure. Okay. Different forms of the church structure. This is where I really wish I had another mic. You could also. Okay. So this is follow along with me. It shouldn't take long before we could just close this thing. Okay. So different systems. Now as this chapter is one of the underlying facts about this chapter is evolution. That means everything evolved, how the church evolved in the book of acts itself, isn't it? From 3000 members and how deacons were introduced, elders, leaders, pastors, bishops, et cetera, et cetera. And now hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years later, here we are. And we have managed to make something out of it and introduce our own systems of it. And that's what we're going to learn today. Okay. So different forms of church structure. Okay. So one is the clerical system. So what's a clerical system? Any idea? Clerical system. Clergy. You get the word clerical from the clergy. So the word. Yeah. So clergy means a group of people ordained or appointed to lead a church. Right. My wedding was conducted by a clergy. This funeral was conducted by a clergy, a leaders, a bunch of leaders of a church. Okay. A clerical system.  So it's there and you're not. So a lady is just a group of people, but they're not part of leadership. The group of people in a church, but they're not part of leadership. Okay. This is very important. This is like, see guys, the, all of this is FYI, like, or GFI. Okay. Good for your information. Like, you know, so it's very important for you to know and understand all of these different systems. Okay. It might just be very theoretical and whatnot. Why do we need to learn all of this? But you need to, it's just a basic understanding of how all the different churches function. Okay. So a lot of the main line churches come under this category. Name of you. Baptists. Have you heard of Baptists? No, sir. I'm only Pentecostal sir. I don't. Baptists, Methodists, Lutherans, Anglicans. Yeah. Okay. CSI. Yeah. Sure. Why not? Right. So all of them work like this, have a clerical system to it. They have a group of leaders who will take decisions together, who will conduct, et cetera. A lot of things of the matters of the church together. Okay. That's the clerical system. What happens there? Usually there is a three-fold order, bishops, priests and deacons answering a question. Okay. So three-fold order. There's some sort of a hierarchy there. So okay. So that's the clerical system. Then is the elder system led by a group of elders. Now, one of the denominations that I'm aware of has the system is the presidents. They don't have one leader, like an overseer or like a pastor. They have a group of leaders who makes the decisions for the church. No. They don't have a pastor. That's why it's called the elder system. Sorry. Elders. Elders. They take turns. So now that I'm aware of, it's at least from people that I've come across who were part of the brethren churches. Yeah. Yeah. But see, there may be. I'm not really sure, but like from the churches that I've seen, I have a lot of friends who are brethren. They just have elders and they don't have one overseer. But there might be churches, brethren churches who might have but yeah. How is it in APC churches? So we have one overseer. We kind of follow the acts thing. So we have one overseer. We have pastor Ashish, right? And so then we have associate pastors. So we all report to him. So yeah. Yeah. Right. So we'll answer that towards the end of this chapter. We'll definitely answer that. Okay. So that's, so what's the first system guys? Classical system. Okay. The clergy system as we call it. Okay. And the second one is the elder system. Okay. So led by a group of elders has shown reasonable success. You know, recently a cooperative leadership. It requires cooperative leadership. Why? Because there are at least three elders. They need to agree on one thing. Right. They need to cooperate with each other. Okay. In some cases may cause difficulty in casting a single vision. Three people. Yeah. Two people itself. Okay. You bring three people. Okay. I have a one vision. You have one vision. You have another vision. Now we have to discuss the break our heads about how can we accommodate all of our three different visions? Okay. So that can be very challenging. Right. So who decides what is best for the church? And how do you know that's right? Example. Right. So. Okay. Let's go to the next one. Independent local churches led by individual pastors with pastoral teams. Plenty of room for vision, creativity and growth. However, there's a danger of totalitarianism. What a word. Totalitarianism. So what does that mean? What does that mean? Okay. Let's just say that word. Come on, guys. For the fun of it. Totalitarianism. Yeah. Totalitarianism. Yeah. Totalitarianism. The what? Tourism. Oh, I'm not going to say that. Yeah. I don't want to be on trouble online. Okay. So what does it mean? Totalitarianism. What does it mean? It is a slash called dictatorial or dictatorial. I need some coffee guys. No. So I'm. Yeah. Dictatorial. Leadership. Totalitarianism. Or dictatorship. There you go. It's easy. Right. So there's a slash there. So what's a dictatorship? You make yourself as a leader. Okay. And then. Yeah. Yeah. So that is the example. Right. So it's a system of government. In other words. So modern day you would use the word communist. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So that is the example. Right. So it's a system of government. In other words. Modern day you would use the word communist. Right. So you a system of government that says, okay. Your will doesn't matter. Okay. You think you have a free will. It's good for you. But you really don't. My will is your will. Okay. Let my will be done in yours. Right. It's like that. Okay. Yeah. North Korea. Russia. China. So. A day that can be a danger. And when we talk about this. Independent local judges in the system where there's. I mean, I'm saying it's a danger. That means it's a danger that can be avoided. Okay. So yeah. Failure improper succession in some cases. So that last point is very crucial failure in proper. Succession in some cases, not all cases. Now what does that mean is, okay. So what happens if that leader decides to move on in life. Someone is no backup. So what if there's no one to take over? Right. So that's the says it's failure in proper succession. In some cases, not all cases. Right. Yes. A leadership transition has to be. So you see the thing is it's there in the word of God. When you read numbers, chapter eight was 25. Even Levitical priesthood. It says the priests who are responsible of in the tabernacle of Moses. You know, when they come to the age of 50, their responsibility changes. So younger people take over what they used to do. And so there's a transition in leadership and in responsibility. Okay. So, and it's, it's kind of it's God's idea. It's there. You read numbers eight 25 and you can do the entire chapter for your own thing. But anyways, that's independent local churches. That's one of the system and network of churches. The families of God, vineyard, new life churches. There's so many other churches. Hillsong, planet shakers. What's the people's church now? Okay. I mean, there are more, isn't it? So network of churches. So that's what we're looking at what the system is like there. There are different ways how each network is organized. Overall a useful model. Okay. There are different ways. Each network is organized. Okay. So in some cases, there is a danger of too much control. Competition among churches within the network. Okay. So let's say, for example, in APC, if, if APC East is fighting against APC West, like, you know, constantly drawing comparison saying, okay, hey, you know, it's not healthy, isn't it? Now that is again a danger, a temptation that can be avoided. But we need to be mindful of, but then it is a useful model. You want to plant a lot of churches. Now APC is doing that, isn't it? We have 11 other locations outside of Bangalore. In Bangalore, we have five one in Bangalore. And then we have the list goes on Kalyan, Barampur, Chandigarh, etc. Rajasthan, Rajasthan, and Varanasi, we have three. So you see, it's helpful to have these network of churches. But we just, again, have to be mindful of how we function all of that. Yeah. Sorry? Yeah. Right. So it can be like a collaborative kind of a thing. Yeah. I know, I don't think that comes, that would come under network of churches, but network of churches is an example of APC, like I gave it, or like Hillsong, London, Hillsong, Sydney, you know, Planet Shakers, Melbourne, yeah, many branches like that. But now again, it says the danger in control, you know, but each, the authenticity of the beauty is when you have a branch in Bangalore. So we have the pastor there has given freedom to plan accordingly. Right. And the same thing with a pastor in different locations, geographically, they have the freedom to decide what they want to do there. Kind of thing. So that's another system. You have house churches, apostolic church networks. I'm just going, it's coming through house churches. Okay. So it's, it's modern day. And so the birth of synagogues, we've heard of synagogues, right? The synagogues is the, it's a final form of house churches that happened that was initiated during the people of Israel's exile to Babylon. You know, the simple, the temple of Solomon was destroyed by Babylonians, right? And they were taken into exile for 70 years. Now, the temple meant everything to the people of Israel. It was one common place where they could have corporate worship.  Or I was glad when they said to me, come, let us go to the house of God. Because it was one common place where they could go and celebrate. And when they were, that was destroyed. People were destroyed. Their spirits were broken. And one of the Psalmists says, by the rivers of Babylon, I mean, there's a song, you know. So for 70 years, they did not have a common place to meet. What do they do? So they started these small cell groups. And the final form of that is what later became as a synagogue in the New Testament. Like, you know, it's, it's, it took time to evolve. Okay. And so we kind of get an idea of house churches, you know, like that cell based churches or mega churches. I'm just going to go through that. So the point here is that there is no perfect structure. Once again, to answer your question on, okay. There is no perfect structure. The bottom line is we must be aware of what God wants us to do. Are we aware of his blueprint? Are we aware of his, his word? Like what is he, what does he want to do in and through us? Are we led by the Holy Spirit like the early church? So and pick a system and it is very important that we honor different denominations. The reality, the fact of the matter is in this day and age, there are many denominations, right? But it, and I don't think it is right for us to say, okay, hey, you know, comparing one denomination with another, putting one, one denomination down and whatnot. So it's none of our business, isn't it? It's respect what they believe in, whatever it is, you have the healthy discussion. If you want to, okay, one denomination believes in manifestation of the gifts of the spirit. The other denomination does not, okay, if you have a friend like that, you want to have a healthy discussion, it's, it's, it's fine. But then to put, to sound condescending saying like, you know, I'm better than yours, my denomination, it's unnecessary, right? And pick a structure. Now again, all of this, we learned all of this is to, is you pick a system that works for you?  And that is really the bottom line of it all, is to be led by the leading of His voice. Yes, absolutely. So in the last class, we learned about speaking the truth in love, isn't it? And so that is important is, and I am stressing this, that we need to have a healthy discussion because nothing, nothing can be accomplished by having an argument, nothing. At the end of the argument, you will be tired, the other person will be tired and nothing will be accomplished. We will be still in the same place, the world didn't become a better place. So have healthy discussions, it's very important to have healthy discussions, etc. Okay, you pick a system that will work for you, for your church based on your location, the people, who your audience are, all of that matters, factors into the system that you want to choose. Understood, right? Yeah? Okay, so let's stop here, that's the end of the system sessions. Yes, this is one book, Sean. There is a lot, yes. As mentioned, yeah, it's pretty deep, it's a lot of information to absorb. So yes, have a lot of coffee when you come for the session. Alright, thank you all online for joining in, God bless you, I'll see you next week.


Well, everyone it's happening It looks like Binance is going to be the big winner here as they look to buy a voyager It looks like the bid was accepted for 1.02 or 1.03 billion dollars So we're gonna take a look at the deal for what we know right now And we'll take a look at is this deal going to get FTX and what are some of the inner workings also? We'll take a look back in the early days of the Voyager bankruptcy to take a look at just how much We're gonna take a haircut and now we'll take even more advanced look into July 2022 Which was the early days or the very beginnings also of the bankruptcy itself and very able to do a little Q&A So first things first we always want to start off which is to remind everybody that hey You can still get a lot of satoshis for a dollar and this is from yesterday You can get a dollar you get five almost six thousand satoshis today We do this again. Let's say $1 6,018 satoshis now I don't expect this to last very long But it's just something in hindsight when people start to peruse these old videos just to see what the price action was like wow I get I got in six thousand satoshis for a dollar and now look at it It's only two thousand for a dollar or whatnot. So Just a little reminder that you don't have to buy a full Bitcoin. So here's what we got So the Binance deal, I didn't think this was gonna happen Especially the things that are going on but Binance pushes forward. I woke up this morning. I thought to myself. Well, that's odd I just see vgx token up in the top 30 for some reason I said, no, that's that's amazing. The market is so bad. The Voyager token isn't the top 30 and up 5% today And of course, that's when we heard the news which was Binance just approved the deal However, since that time, I don't know if this was a glitch in CoinGecko But at that point was the price 30 cents Now we're looking at 35 36 cents and it's up 22% but it's ranked 204 So I don't know what the heck happened here with the ranking but regardless people seem to want to Buy Voyager the vgx token just because Binance just because Binance bought Voyager and We'll see how that works out for you. I personally am not gonna buy any vgx token, but I'm not a big trader So here's the story which led us all to this so Binance.us to acquire bankrupt crypto exchange Voyager's assets for a billion Weeks after FTX deal filled. I gotta tell you it must feel good to be CZ You know just the coin coming there. I'm like, well, you know, I kind of crushed the hopes and dreams of FTX, but let's be clear The hopes and dreams that were crushed by FTX was FTX FTX was the screw-up It wasn't because of some tweet that the CEO of Binance did because of things that were going on in the background So let me just make that hundred percent clear But also now CZ, you know gets to come out and like hey I showed you the you know the problems in the pitfalls for FTX now I'm gonna bail out Voyager and I gotta tell you starting to love this guy However, just to take everything with a grain of salt because the question is this is actually gonna go through so The company Voyager had a billions of dollars with a crypto at the end of 2021 But a broader market downturn and a series of bad bets Including two three-hours capital element research chipped away at the firms available capital now on this show I've been talked about this quite heavily Voyager. I use them Extensively I talked about using them all the time because I believed in them unfortunately or fortunately however you want to say it Because they were a public company It came to light that they did an uncollateralized loan of our roughly 640 million dollars to three-hours capital and because they're public we found this out And that's the date run June 22nd somewhere around there when I told people that I can't keep using Voyager Probably good idea to take your money off because who the hell does that? No, here we are. So in this situation That's what they had back in 2021 moving forward Voyager Falver bankruptcy protection July 2022. I think was July 5th. Correct me if I'm wrong here The time of filing the crypto exchange had approximately 1.3 billion in assets. Let me say that again roughly around July 5th Voyager had 1.3 billion in assets But was owed over 650 million by three-hours capital. So we'll just say We'll just round up 1.9 somewhere around there 1.9 billion And that was compared to 5.8 billion worth of assets at the end of 2021. Remember, they're pricing this in dollars They're not saying how much Bitcoin they have how much a theorem they have. It's all in dollars. That's important to think about Voyager said that Binance that US's offer represented the highest and best bid for its assets after a view of strategic options With the core objective of maximizing the value return to customers and other creditors on an expedited time frame Look, I don't care how the money gets back to us. Just make it happen. I could care less I know as many people out there like well, we want the Voyager platform to continue We would like it to move forward. We like this and Look, I mean it might happen, but here's the deal that we got and this is the deal that will probably move forward now In some way shape or form we're gonna see more as the information comes out for the court filings and things like that This is just a preliminary report about what we have, but it looks like Binance is going to buy Voyager, but the thing you have to think of look back is this well if they bought it for roughly 1 billion Let's say 1 billion Let's look back in the early days of the bankruptcy. This was a screenshot from the Voyager UCC from the Twitter Spaces or that or that. No, sorry. That's where it's basis. They're YouTube that they put out and this is the balance sheet of Voyager as of June 30th, 2022 June 30th This is what they had When everything pretty much collapsed they had about and this is in million. So they had a hundred and four million dollars Total crypto loaned excluding Three arrows capital when I first really I thought it was for example through his capital But no, it's excluding through his capital total crypto loan 470 million total crypto held 685 million. So right there you're looking at, you know 1.1 billion Total crypto held alone 1.2 Excuse me 1.2 6 yeah 6 10 1.12. Yeah, excuse me 1.2 billion Three arrows capital loan recovery to be decided that was that total recoverable assets 1.2 And of course total unsecured claims 1.8 billion dollars and that was just on June 30th. So remember We've dropped a little bit since then We have so If we take a look at this And we take a look at how much was everything worth Roughly in July because this is on June 30th This is from coinmarketcap.com forward slash historical you can find this quite easily Just go to coinmarketcap.com click on the historical tab and I'll show you how much things were worth now today Is the 18th I believe? Compare some prices real quick. Shall we? so Bitcoin back then was worth 19 to Bitcoin today is worth 16 6 Ethereum was worth over a thousand dollars today actually a theorems up 1,175 Tether's number to the tether finance coin 218 back then today 245 XRP was worth 32 cents on 3rd of July today. It's worth 33 cents Dogecoin Cardano, I gotta tell you July's Actually pretty steady in the top 10. Dogecoin was worth almost 7 cents on the 3rd of July. I think it's even worth more now Now about 7 cents Cardano 26 cents Cardano back then was worth 45 cents and so on and so forth So we dropped a little bit if the lion's share of everything that was held was Bitcoin Ethereum Well, Bitcoin's taking a plunder Ethereum roughly around the same so the question then is what is the haircut going to be? We're all gonna take a haircut That's okay. This is much. I think this is a little better than in chapter 7 where everything gets liquidated Which honestly back then it would have worked out pretty well in our favor because everything's dropped would have been done pretty well But again, we would have had to pay for the lawyer fees and all the different different fees for Staff of Voyager and whatnot, but this is what we have and We'll see if it goes through however. There's one thing in the background that I'm thinking about which is this The US Justice Department is split over charging Binance With some issues and what they're trying to they're looking at is this The investigation began in 2018 This is here in America Department of Justice and is focused on Binance's compliance with US anti-money laundering laws and sanctions so If they do move forward that would throw a big wrench into what's happening right here So just because this is happening doesn't mean it's a guarantee Doesn't mean that it'll actually go through It's just one of those things where Hopefully things work out now. There may be other issues. There's been some some rumblings of insolvency with Binance But to date no concrete evidence has come out. I'm not saying it isn't there I'm just saying that so far nothing's been proven like say Voyager Celsius Blockfi FTX insolvent insolvent insolvent insolvent so with Binance right now going we'll pay a billion dollars Okay, if it's a dollars dollars, that's one thing if that hopefully I don't They don't pay in BNB coin, but that's what we have. So that is it for today's news I think this is the big one. I mean there's other things that are going on but To me personally, hopefully We get most of our funds back What's gonna happen is that they will be open in Binance that us account and you'll be able to go that I don't know how that's gonna work especially for me because I'm in Texas in Puerto Rico I don't think I'm not for sure Binance us is available in Puerto Rico. I know it's not available in Texas So that would leave me open to how do I get my funds back? But that's for me to worry about not you anyhow, and that's it now what we'll do I don't want to talk to you. We'll do a little Q&A And then also just as a reminder yesterday, we did did this the live show We did ten minutes of Q&A and we did a Twitter space is it was great There is a link in the description You can check out the recording and it was good just to talk to people who are in the comments all the time but actually like talk to you talk to you and We answered some pretty that's a pretty good questions a lot of things that were going on that You can't really do here on YouTube so you can check that out of the recording It's like 20 25 minutes of that but that is it what we're going to probably be moving forward is that once a week We'll do Twitter spaces so instead of you typing to me and asking questions You can go to Twitter spaces and actually talk to me and it'll be a longer format We can do whatever you want over there. So that'll be I'll start this week. So we just did on Sunday. We'll probably do it again Yeah, let's pick a day Thursday every Thursday. We'll do it. We'll just do a long session over there Maybe Thursday or Friday, you know what I'll do a vote and you tell me which what days are better for you There is a Friday, but that's it for today. So look like today's video Give it a thumbs up consider subscribing a lot of things we talk about our very time sensitive But that is it want to take off take off. You've been here 12 minutes not too bad of a day Now let's get into the Q&A I'll answer all your burning questions the best of my abilities and we'll go from there. So Out of here interesting day dig swimming Dave Hello, Vicki, please like the video. That'd be nice JT's here Gary's here We can do it Twitter space about when to do it Twitter spaces Dez is here Charles can cannon Charles any updates on tax strategies for the end of the year.  Where did it? And just so you know YouTube changed up some things and now there's different tabs videos live posts and stories When you look for some things just know that the Q&A we split the Q&A that'll be in videos But Ah, here it is But for the live streams you have to click in the live stream tab here we go so to answer your question Charles It looks like this. So There's a video just called do this now if you have crypto losses in 2022 hint everybody does. I mean if you realized or unrealized Do this before December 31st. It was about a week ago and we had on David Kimmer from coin ledger and he talked about things do is first tax loss harvesting It's it's a pretty easy process. You sign up with coin ledger, which is free You don't have to pay for anything unless you want to run a report for your cpa or your accountant And you can see all your tax loss harvesting opportunities And when you take those then you can Offset some of your losses just so you know that as far as like income you can only offset up to $3,000 per year If you take a lot of tax if a lot of losses this year you can roll them over to next year in the year after that The year after that. Also, it's also a good strategy to take off losses Or to offset your gains if you have any from capital gains, which are unlimited So we talked about that check that video out and what am I doing? Yeah, let's do this I'll copy it. Let's see tax loss harvesting video Be right there. I'll drop it in the comments That makes things super simple for everybody trying to save you all time You're welcome. Okay. Yeah, please like the video I have buy into in a us in indiana. That's good Vicki's driving Driving and listening nothing wrong with that Wow 30,000 a month for a steal. It's pretty good Shrimp sound full force Hello We're not all george Happy monday I think I need bitcoin to 30x to cover my zilica spend Benny's here. Thank you, Benny for all things you do on twitter. I appreciate it Let's see. Let me go up here. Uh, let's see and nick is first shout out to nick for being first Yeah, wild. It's amazing. I mean, hopefully youtube notifies you Let's see Yes, like I tell you it's an early christmas present my my opinion Why is from pimping sats?  No, you can just buy satoshis And it'll be interesting as time goes on and we get to the price of bitcoin at some point being You know back to its all-time high of seventy six nine thousand then maybe goes a hundred thousand People will always thank themselves. I need a hundred thousand dollars to buy a bitcoin. That's not true You can buy as much as you want just As much as you can get into that's why they have satoshis It's just interesting that in the future you're going to be able to see like wow a dollar only buys 2000 satoshis Man, I remember this video from 2022. It was almost 7 000 satoshis amazing or less Lumix says if finance does buy a voyager, what would be our haircut about 15? I don't know like these numbers some if you've got If you're buying it for a billion, let's just do some quick quick math here If you're buying everything for a billion And the total crypto held the time of the snapshot was one point Let's just say 1.3 So the total recover assets is 1.3 roughly right and then they also loaned out. I want to say 640 million roughly To three hours capital and that was a loan That I like to get back so I don't know if they have to take that one back if they take a hit I guarantee I'm not going to guarantee anything actually But usually what it is is people would loan things to throw his capital thinking that they get all this great yield Because these guys were geniuses and actually what they were doing was Well, I don't know It remains to be seen exactly what they were doing because they're going to blame everything on sandbacon freed and ftx So let's just say 1.8. So you got 1.8 minus 1 billion You're looking at a you know 40 percent haircut roughly correct me correct me in the math department but uh I mean I had zero percent or I had I had 100 percent haircut yesterday. So not too bad How long do you think spf will be locked out for? I don't know if he's gonna chase It might be some minimal jail time I'm not sure Not sure how bad it gets I mean Look, uh, bernie madoff spent his entire life in jail after he got caught But it was I think he's he was going for I mean decades in jail So who knows? Yeah Yeah, exactly. I'm happy with the voyage about now. Give me what's left of my crypto. I'll take it off the exchange What's wrong with that? I can see that totally Stephen says have to sell and buy back to harvard losses right now You don't have as as far as like tax loss harvesting you just sell And that's it. You take a that's tax loss harvesting when you buy back That's called wash trading and that is illegal in equities and securities thankfully to date um Gary genzler who watches the show all the time he There's no enforcement that says that things are our securities He believes they are securities, but until congress really gives them concrete evidence that he's just uh Regulation through enforcement Looks like someone's got a case of the monday's office space classic Man, yeah, that sounds good r I Read joker. I think I'm starting a youtube channel any advice. Yeah, it's super simple Uh, make sure that you have a schedule and stick to that Make sure you just show up and just keep uh keep going You're not going to sound like yourself in the beginning It's going to take you a while to find your particular voice You'll probably watch other people and just kind of you know lump that all together But at some point you'll find the way that you do things And the way that you do thumbnails and all those stuff So the thing I can just tell you is that if you're going to start it start it This is probably the best time to start it because no one's watching nobody's watching So you're going to afford to screw up like whatever.   It's a green screen Let's see poison the pool again Hey tesla Yeah, I'm still waiting for my eat. I'm still waiting for my eat than my Five bitcoin that are sitting on celsius right now Roughly Maybe it's four and a half. I don't remember Jeff's got a good point. So far the only winners in celsius are the attorneys.  There was a great tweet. Let me pull it up Which shows you how much the lawyers are billing per hour? now this is from friend of the show simon dixon and The partners are billing per hour 11 95 to 20 to 45 Council a 20 a 20 20 125 Associates 685 and pair professionals. Wow 295 to 585. So that's just happening. That's our money As they fight this legal process because for some reason they just can't get it together to come up with a plan Which is amazing to me because block 5 did it with them in my 24 hours of them pushing out their Vancrepsy, but uh, yeah, we'll give them till february so they can say oh, we couldn't do it. Sorry I'm not angry. I'm just a little perturbed yeah So if I'm under any wrath ira me at $7,000. So yeah, I need to get my My iTrust ira and max out Which is a this is a pretty good time. I should buy things I need a coffee had a rough had a rough morning had a rough morning Went to go play a little volleyball on the beach here in portorico and nisla are they nice place and uh messed up my knee trying to do is do a little bit too much, but I'm okay That's why god created beer and sofa So you can if you have an injury easy just sit on there and do nothing I failed some mining. What's up, and I'm your channel a long time. So that's good A lot of people are actually stopping stopping. Uh, subscribe me to the channel and you know the views go down the bear market It's okay Like uh, I show you I have lost But this is what it's this is just the natural cycle, you know so people People come and go and that's okay. Like it's kind of boring. Honestly last Month or so I've lost about a thousand people subscribers and of course views are down too, but I mean it's it's like I tell you I tell people again. It's it's not it's not that It's not that the price action is killing people. It's the boredom that is killing people That's the big thing chopping sideways and going down one or two percent every couple of weeks is just boring as hell That's it Yeah, that's it. That's okay. I'll see him in the in the in the bull market hmm This is a good question Do you think the irs will be allowed to analyze ftx groups trading history for tax collection purposes from us citizens and us registered entities? I think they do it already if it's ftx us um I'm pretty sure the reason why you do kyc and aml Know your customer or anti money laundering putting your social security your date of birth or something like that There's because they're going to report that to the irs. You know, they already know So if you're an american citizen, that's just how it is sorry And uh, yeah, so they'll probably look at it, but there's a difference between ftx international and ftx us so trust me But the farm of justice is is greedily looking at all Ftx definitely because if if they want to look at and build a case They're going to have to look through the financials and when they look at the financials Guess who else is going to want to look to that probably the irs That's it Would you ever have developers for ocular swallow? Sure. I just I've reached out to them a couple of times. No answer I've asked them if they could deliver here to portorico. Nope and uh, yeah, so I guess It wasn't like I was I mean, I would have paid for the damn thing and just couldn't get it here I put I put my thumb down on the thumb up hilarious Yeah, beach volleyball for me come to Panama I'm already I already played here. I'm good to go Now is the best time to watch crypto youtube potentially it could be I hope rob you will run Until our next bull run. Yeah, I mean, I'm going to be here till the next one I think I'll probably be doing dailies all the way until the next bull run and then the time when I sell and get out probably take I don't know like I thought I was gonna actually pull out A little bit earlier and start to do like once a week videos after this bull run But it's fun. It's fun to do these videos and again like what else am I gonna do, you know so I don't really need to work work And this is pretty interesting to do so I get to hang out with you guys all day or at least an hour a day Give me something to do Uh, I thought actually in the practice bot trading I just come for the view. It's a nice view Ha Johnny says my wife unsubscribed for me this year. Thank god That's right And beardy says it correctly The military shot just taught me to show up Hmm should be a race team owner. I have no Inkling or no inclination to get into that And random says rob aren't you too deeply invested just let go of the best period come in the crypto Yeah, but I mean like we're talking about videos. We're talking about doing videos Stuff like that like right now and we talked about it yesterday. If you haven't had a chance to watch yesterday's video Which I personally thought was was pretty decent And it looks like this. Let me share It's this one It was the 2023 ROI outlook and for me. I just did a did a comparison between all the All the months for the four cycles and we took a look at the having months the all-time high months the dip which is the The the months after the all-time highs and then the resets And I was just showing people that you know in all honesty like This next year coming up will probably be the Probably one of the better years to invest because things are going to go down so low Just like it has almost every single time in the four year cycles and I just showed you that in reality in the past You could have had Like if if you would invest it in in 20 started in January 1st 2018 To the top of bitcoin 21 it was like a it was like a seven and a half X but if you just would have waited until 2019 and invested jenior first went 19 to The top the 2021 it's like It's like a six and a half almost seven X is almost the same damn thing So it's like the year we just got up was pretty crappy This next one we're going to go into we're going to see some I think some steeper discounts And this might be the one to get into again. This is just what I'm going to do But yeah, just take a look at the data. That's that's all I can show you Okay That's it Well, he definitely got a deal on that 400 million cheap and the fdx was going to going to pay Yeah, we definitely got a deal dev sees he got a deal because yeah, that's right. It's 1.4 billion Let's hope this one goes through because if this one goes through then the next one will be like, hey I'll buy you for 500 billion Or 500 million. That's it take it or leave it suckers That's it for today. All right, everybody. So thanks so much for stopping by. I'm going to go head in Ice this me and that's it. So I appreciate you guys. Thanks for coming by and I'll see you on the next one Adios. Have a good day

We're on our road to 150,000 subscribers and you guys can help me get there. That being said, I also want to make sure that I share it with you today's sponsor. One morning out of curiosity, I decided to Google my name, expecting the usual links to my social media, YouTube channels, all of that stuff, and maybe a few mentions on some websites here and there. But what I stumbled upon was a rabbit hole of data sites I'd never heard of before. Suddenly, I wasn't just a content creator, I was an open book. My kids' names, their ages, even their school information were all laid bare under my name. My family members' details, my parents, my grandparents were no exception and to my horror, my private phone number was also floating out there. Now I'm no stranger to the internet spotlight, but I had naively believed that some part of my identity remained private. That belief was shattered when a search for my fiance's name revealed our home address. How is it that such personal details are easily accessible by anyone with internet access? This wake up call led me to ORA, the sponsor of today's video. ORA shows me exactly which data brokers had my information and automatically submits opt-out requests on my behalf.

At this point you know I'm always trying to bring you the latest and greatest on Nintendo Switch 2. And yesterday, we talked about a potential game that a company was hiring somebody for and it turned out that hey, they're trying to bring this game to Nintendo Switch 2. Whether or not development started yet or not seemed a little fishy. We weren't really sure, but it still was a developer publicly talking about it. Now today isn't one of these developers publicly talking about Nintendo Switch 2. Those kind of stories are rare, but still cool. It's actually a rumor and we haven't actually dove into any Switch 2 rumors for a while, but the reason I want to talk about this particular rumor and again rumors are meant to be doubted and taken with the appropriate levels of salt and whatever else you want to say. What I want to make sure that you understand here is the reason we're talking about this rumor is because it supports something we already heard from a previous rumor. If you remember all the rumors around Nintendo Switch 2 being internally delayed to 2025, early 2025, it came from this guy known as PH Brazil. He's a reporter, an actual journalist out of Brazil and then it was verified by a bunch of other or I guess not really verified because we haven't seen any evidence, but it will at least have multiple other confirmations from other outlets backing up his claims. So the reason we're doing this up is because that same person mentioned that Nintendo Switch 2 was going to be revealed in June. Now he said that was just a plan at the time, it could obviously change and he hasn't really talked since February, at least publicly in any sort of fashion that's given any indication that this has changed and even Nate the hate sort of suggested that June makes sense. Yes, we are at least tangentially expecting a reveal of some type of Switch 2 in June, but we have other reasons to believe Switch 2 might be revealed this summer and that's why we're talking about this story. It deals with a game and a franchise I don't pay a lot of attention to, but maybe I need to start doing it and again, this is just a rumor, well let's pop on over here to Twitter where we're going to be talking about Dragon Ball Sparking Zero. So these are scans of a magazine from Japan, the V Jump stuff and look, all this is basically doing is just talking about the game, right? There's nothing in particular Switch 2 about any of this, but it's important we give you this context because some things in this kind of back up the rumor. Now again, we'll get to the rumor in a moment, but I just want to make sure you guys got a good look at these scans. Again, I don't know what any of this stuff says, but obviously we know the name of the game Sparking Zero. Now, that's really cool, but in this magazine article, apparently it says a power verse speed trailer is coming soon. Now again, this is according to this person, you know, DBS hype, Dragon Ball hype, I don't know a lot about him, but he's apparently claiming that power verse speed is in here and that's why I brought up these scans. So if any of you guys read Japanese or whatever and want to confirm that the power verse speed thing is coming in, you can see speeds, a big thing here, you can see the power things. So it seems pretty accurate, at least as far as I'm able to verify. Well, when you scroll down here, there was this four channel leak also posted by another user here called it's me sparks. And this is where we get into some interesting details. And again, this supposed trailer coming up is what backs up this and this trailer, in fact, will confirm ordnance or deconfirm this. So here's what it said. Hello, I'm here to get some information for the next trailer of Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, which is titled Power Verse Speed. Again, that's where that power verse speed confirmation from that magazine article matters because it's saying it's power verse speed and they're very much indicating power verse speed. So it says the trailer isn't focused on a particular character or duo of characters, but instead a bunch of characters in different era of Dragon Ball, it goes in order starting from the original Dragon Ball all the way to the super GT isn't showed yet. It features the character types game mechanic, which separate characters in the types all around power, speed and technique. It reminds you of the Mario and Sonic Olympic Games series. It's totally normal. Spike Chunsoft drew inspiration from it. First fight is from the twenty third TV showcasing Goku versus Chichi with a sneak peek of Goku versus my junior fight. Again, I don't know Dragon Ball very well, so I apologize for butchering the stuff, but this is all going to make sense in a moment. The second fight, the highlight of this trailer is from the Boo saga with a splendid super vegeto versus Majin Buu. Again, I'm not very good at these stuff here. Ultimate Gohan, that part starts with the Potala fusion cutscene and ends with a vegeto holding Majin Buu with the spiritual sword. Final fight for the trailer, which is more of a tease than a real fight, is from T.O.P. Tournament of Power Saga with Ultra Instinct Goku versus Jiren, the moment Goku transforms into Mastered Ultra Instinct. The release window is announced as winter twenty twenty four. A slide shows all the platform releases PlayStation five Xbox Series X slash S PC and a mysterious question mark on the question mark is written, announced on summer twenty twenty four. For me, that question mark sounds like Sparking Zero is releasing on the new Nintendo console, but I'll gather more information to be sure for a possible update. And again, this was posted back in February and for the most part was ignored. You had some Dragon Ball fans obviously getting really excited about it.  There are legit things that leak there, but there's so much just fake stuff as well. So most people didn't really know what was going on with this. But now that we know the next trailer is going to be that that whole power versus speed dynamic. And that's like the name of the trailer. Now we watch the trailer to find out. So we're going to actually be having to pay attention when this trailer drops. But what's fascinating is we're not going to wait long, right? Like we'll get the confirmation on this if the trailer drops soon. Hopefully this upcoming week. And then, hey, we can actually dissect it. I am so curious about this, though, because the question mark, you know, seeing announced in summer 2024, that to me does really sound like the next Nintendo platform. If it's on the platform screen, that would just be like, hey, we know Nintendo is announcing this system in 2024. We're not going to specifically say Nintendo, so we can't get in trouble about it. We're just teasing. We're going to announce a new platform this summer. And if they end up not announcing the Switch 2 this summer and there to go, this platform isn't confirmed for it. It is what it is. And obviously, Switch 2 is not coming out this winter. It's coming out next year, but it could still end up being a launch game or within the launch window. I find this all to just be really, really fascinating. So this is just one of those rumors that kind of backs another rumor from more credible places, though, if you wanted more evidence to suggest that we are going to have Switch 2 revealed this summer, we need to pay attention to this Dragon Ball Sparking Zero trailer just to see if that's the case. And you know what? When this trailer drops, I will make sure that I watch it and give you guys an update. It'll maybe not be its own individual video. We'll see. I mean, if it actually happens and this question mark is there, then yeah, we'll have to go in and talk even more in depth about this. But for now, I'll just, you know, if it's not there, the update will be. Hey, it turns out that this wasn't true. And here's some other news and all of that. But I just find this to be interesting. OK, again, I don't know a lot about Dragon Ball and I'm sorry for all the stuff I butchered. I do know the creator did recently pass away. So obviously rest in peace. And my heart goes out to all of you that are really feeling the impact of that loss, including, most importantly, the man's family. But all the fan base has obviously been feeling it as well lately. So I just want to make sure that I actually address that here towards the end of the video, because I don't want to just ignore that we lost a major figurehead and literally the creator of the entire franchise. So yeah, rest in peace, man. But this is kind of exciting, but still a rumor. I'm just saying we're looking for all the possible hints, right? We are a channel that's trying to stay on top of all the Nintendo news, including Switch 2 stuff. And this is just one of those things where a couple of things lined up. We'll see. We'll see if this 4chan rumor is true soon enough, I suppose. All right, folks, that's all I got for this video. Thank you so much for tuning in. Enjoy your weekends and I'll catch you in the next video.


So the first question that came in was, and I'm going to hand this one over to you, how can we help normalize the fact that we are all impacted by mental illness, whether directly or through those around us? Oh wow, that's a very good question, isn't it? How can we normalize the fact that mental illness impacts on everybody, whether we have it ourselves or someone else? Yeah, there's a little exercise that if you happen to this training of ours, that we're doing one of our trainings in which we get people in the second period to move around the room. So basically what has happened is they sit in their chairs in the morning and once they become comfortable in the afternoon after the break, we ask them to pick up their stuff and move to another place if they choose to do so or to just, you know, if they don't want to move, they can stay, but we highly encourage that they move. And you can observe people, you know, some of them pick it up quite quickly and they move to another place. Other people, hesitantly, they understand the benefits of the pick up, begrudgingly go and move to another place and some of some other people say, no, I'm not going to move. It's usually in the minority, but some people say, I'm not going to move. And then we talk, once we have done that, we ask them to notice how they feel. And people look inwards to see how they feel. And we ask them the reason why they changed and what did they notice now that they have changed. And, you know, the interesting thing that I want to highlight here is the people that never move. They believe always that they haven't changed. But then we notice in the discussion that even those people that haven't moved have been impacted by other people moving around. So whether you want it or not, if you may choose not to change yourself, but the world changes around you. And that comes to the question, you know, we may not personally suffer mental illness at one point, but it doesn't change the fact that other people around us, their world changes. And by their world changing, that's going to impact us out of necessity. So do we need to normalize it? I think what I don't have you here to ask you exactly what you meant by that, but I'm going to guess that normalizing you meant to say, how can we bring it into awareness that whether it's impacting us directly or not, this has a very much an impact on everyone in the community. And I am a firm believer that that is the correct approach, you know, whether we have been personally impacted by mental illness directly because we have suffered from it. Like in my case, I did suffer from a mental health issue, bipolar depression, and I recovered. But that impacted everybody around me. It impacted on my kids, it impacted on my wife, it impacted on my community, on my church. Everything was impacted by it. Not because I was annoying or I was trying to do that. It's just simply when one of us is not well, we're not well. That's a community. What are your thoughts? Well, to come to how do we normalize mental health out there in the world? And I guess I immediately thought, do we want to normalize it? What do we mean by normalize? And it's interesting because working in this field, I'm talking about mental health all day. I'm talking about well-being all the time I see it online everywhere. It's part of my world. So for people like myself who work in this industry or who are very much associated with it, perhaps in HR or whatnot, it is becoming much more and more a normal conversation. And yet there's still pockets in different industries, in different locations globally where there's still taboo, there's still stigma, there's still just not a normal everyday conversation that people are having. So if we say, how do we normalize it? I think it's important that we normalize it in a way that we appreciate that people have ups and downs, that that's part of life and that it's acceptable for that to happen. There's no shame or anything around that. And at the same time, we don't want to normalize it in the sense that we then don't do anything about it. So we don't want to make it so normal that everyone's depressed and we just live like that. We want to know how do we move from that position back to health, back to wellness, back to happiness, meaning fulfillment and all those wonderful things. So we don't want to make it normal to be unwell, but we do want to make it normal that it happens from time to time and we can talk about it. Does that make sense? Yeah. It makes a lot of sense.
