Good morning cyber traders welcome back on this lovely 5th of September good to see you Ken mark leader good to see you Tim Phil Grant All right, good to see you all welcome back Hopefully everybody's all ready for a new brand new day Nice little day in the market this morning looks like US and China. I'm gonna start talking again. Good to see Andrea. All right Well, listen, we got a lot of good stocks that taking some big hits right now We're gonna talk a little bit about them. Hopefully everybody got the SIG that we talked about early this morning in pre-market. I Did we did I did pop that up was on eight o'clock this morning hopefully everybody was here when you're supposed to be at eight o'clock and Was already set up in that trade around eight o'clock as you could see it went from 1250 to about almost 14 bucks Only a buck 50 who doesn't want that right and then obviously the big one I know a lot of you guys are looking at right now is the Ciena Cien getting crushed 45 to 38. We're gonna talk about all those two stocks But first I want to just kind of really touch upon about yesterday Hopefully everybody enjoyed trade for a cause the after closing bell like I told you I'm gonna be there for the event October 10th to the to the 13th it is a great event and I think everybody, you know, it's We're better place to go in Vegas and you know stay at the stay at the encore and you got tea time If you're a golf member, whatever it is great great great event And it's not even that much money and you get it and it's going for a great cause and most importantly I'm gonna be there we get to hang out we have fun and Sound like I need to teach you all day, which is even better. So but you got some great presenters there So hopefully everybody gets that opportunity to do that Like I said, definitely go out there and make that effort also last but not least I want to talk about I know we got the You know open house today at 12 o'clock and also most importantly next week. I want to make an announcement really quick I was saving it for today. So you got Benzinga coming next week and you have book map That's coming next week. So if you are one of the students that are part of that event Benzinga and the book Mac. I'll go to book map level four are gonna give you Free data free access to all those the top of the line of the platform You're talking hundreds if not a thousand dollars in in in in Tools for you they're gonna so that is a big bonus that they just throw it in there They just told me yesterday So I look forward to get those emails because when they come here You need to practice and need to know how it works So you have the opportunity to talk to the owners of the company so they can kind of make you remember This is your job right you got to learn how to play it You know you got to know how to do it And you got it you got to have the right tools and by the way if you can't come on site You could still do the webcast and you can still get that feature. I know last minute You got about a week away. It's actually today will be the first day actually the morning actually tomorrow Be this the the suare we'll have some great wines and great appetizers all that great stuff So and then we'll be trading for the next two days and then we have the blue carpet dinner But but if you still want to get in you still can so just talk to education advisors So you got some great events guys remember I told you this yesterday and I've been building up to it it's time to put the pedal to the metals time to take it very seriously and You know what you're doing this as a career. You got to do it right this job pays a high six-figure salary You know so Why not do it and do it right and have fun doing it? That's what it's all about. All right So yeah, Ben's already putting the book map a couple of little images out there for it So look forward to it. All right guys, so let's go through some of the watch list But before I do that, I oh I've got to mention what happened yesterday So yesterday was a pretty cool day. We said we had the market that was up We're getting some good news on on it's coming out of the White House again, you know changes Everybody throws a recession. It wasn't recession. You're hearing big news from Apple this morning that they're borrowing money Why would Apple out of all companies one of the most powerful Companies in the world will borrow money. You know why because it's cheap. They got cheap money And why would you not borrow cheap money? Right? I mean like it's like saying it's like talk It's like talking to your accountant. Why would I pay off my house? Right when I'm paying nothing for a mortgage. I could use that money and do something else with it You know, that's what it's all about why go out there and you know, let's use someone else's money because it's almost free Basically, why would I pay you something off and then I'm out of all that cash? Remember you need money to make money cash is always king So you could see it follow the big boys and that's why we do what we do So let's talk about what what did what did move yesterday because there were a couple of couple of stocks that did move Let's talk. Let's start off the AR DX as of yesterday Listen stock backed off had a huge run It was shortable for certain people in the morning and then obviously once the shorts gave up Not everybody was able to get that short off, but we did really really well at that stock a huge run up and remember Whatever goes up must come down. So that one did pretty well CLDR and Holmes came out with some good earnings. I like to keep an eye on that those stocks going into this open So I know that some of you guys were trading that in the aft hours and we talked about that There was just some great great volatility on that on that stock right there the CLR and the home Let's bring up the home. I think the home was actually the Pretty cool on the short side and you know what we still like it on going into this open You know because whatever goes up must come down and if it keep trend the trend is your friend And if it keeps going down, we're gonna keep an eye on that so that one's gapping down also Would also So that there's a lot going on this morning. You got a lot of bunch of stocks now Let's see what else is moving in the market. So we did talk about a couple of them and I want to throw up the the MNK unfortunately this MNK Can't show it a stock under you know under Five bucks at it's been there for a while, but I just want to point this stock, you know And and and just bring it up. Do you know any people are getting crushed right now lost? Everything and you know what? You look at this stock and it's down 50% that stocks $1.20. Look where it was in the beginning of the year Stock was almost at $40 last year. You know, it was at 55 bucks. It's at $1.30.  Let's just call it that. All right. Yeah, how's that working out for you? Okay, how's that how's that happening for you? Listen, you want to be a good swing trade? You want to be a good option trader you damn well better learn how to day trade first Okay, because people blow up their accounts because ignorance like that. I hate to say this but we had a student that just started Cybertrade University last month, okay and He had to quit and That's okay. That's okay. You know why? Because he didn't find us soon enough He got stuck in a position just like MNK and he lost everything and he could just Blew up his account. He was running around trying to see if he could find what he could do Maybe now he wants to get educated. It's like, you know, I hate to say it's like someone had cancer and they're at stage four And they're like, oh well, maybe now I should get treatment But he knew he had it when it was even stage one you could have done something back it But it comes to a point where unfortunately, it's it becomes too late. Okay, and at that time he was scrambling this and that and he had to quit because He just basically blew up everything lost everything and you know because of something like this And I know that some of you guys watch this on YouTube.  It's just it's you know what?  That's a hard lesson to learn Grant. You know, I know it's just You know, unfortunately 99% of the people that trade today are Self-taught 99% 1% are actually people like you They actually go out there and get educated and then you know half those people obviously get involved in the wrong industry So you could imagine, you know How what a big failure rate it is for what for what not be listening, you know from really good Mentors anyway, I don't want to bore you with that I want to get right to the picks because we're running out of time But I just want to kind of bring this up to just show you why we don't hold positions overnight Because there's another one right now that you guys doing a lot better on is the CE the CEN now this stock right here When I look at the level four Just give you a guys a heads up. I'm seeing some buyers popping up in here But the big issue about this stock it doesn't trade that many shares on it Look at the tier size on level two Look at the tier sizes on the level three and I'm also going to bring up the level four and you could see you know Not really that much out there. Remember the level four is where you're going to see all the orders, okay? so we're not seeing that much out there, but I Am seeing some buyers that are kicking in right now It's probably one of the why it's kind of holding in. Let's go to the next one el tk So el tk also know the stock right here. It's trending up took a little bit of a hit yesterday It's a 12% stock. You remember the stock we traded it Let me fix this chart right here and just show you in a daily chart So some of you guys remember the stock we trade at $2. This was one of our once again, you know, not a hundred percent mover This is one of our 500 percent movers in one day Okay, so we all remember this one and it actually did it a couple of days ago So we know why it's going down so el tk if you followed your journals Go back and see how you did on it because remember for some of you Don't let these inexpensive stocks fool you because sometimes they could trade just as bad as a 50 hundred two hundred dollar stock GBT The stock is obviously probably the nicest one that's moving the only issue I have with this It doesn't have that big tier sizes and the spreads pretty big But if you are level four level five trader, this is right up your alley We all we all know about the SIG. I mean that pretty much is probably the nicest one so far That's basically if you were here eight o'clock this morning when you should have been you're probably doing pretty well right now You probably can you probably turn the computer off right now and go home Call it a day and take your $1,500 if you bought the thousand shares that you were trained what to do cl dr Another one right here. That's moving. We know about that that stock had that big pop yesterday after hours with earnings Stocks got a little push, but starting to back off a little bit One thing that's great about this stock is look at the level three You got a lot of big orders stock trader 1.4 million shares So you could read a lot of shares of the stock, but once again, that's only if you are a Good trader homes. We already know about that from yesterday I threw that back on the list and I also threw back on the list You know and the CLDR which you already know about now You look over here in the big percentage gainers and losers is pretty much where we're finding our orders You know obviously there's a lot of stocks that are there But remember not every single one of a tradable not a lot of them and what do I mean by tradable? You know remember the three T's tradable trend and trap you don't have those three things You don't want to trade them and that's why we got a that's why it's so important that you review that over and over in Class all right guys now anything I did not call out that Some of you want to look at work. Yeah, can I looked at the work trade to that stock took a very big hit? It's kind of flat though right now. It's got good volume. It's okay. I'll put that on the watch list You know, it's coach holding pretty strong right here. It's breaking the issue I have with work is that it's breaking all-time low the stock is an IPO it got it got really beat up and Finally looks like came out his first day of earnings, but If you're looking to do something as a long-term because you need to love the company I would stay far away from this as of right now Is it on your short list? I don't even know if it's on your short list got to make sure you check everybody's different But it is trading a lot of volume out here from from yesterday's close till to now. Yes. Okay, good But well, it's got to break this six this twenty six seventy because it looks like there's some major support levels there All right.  It's not a full-time job It's part-time job and then I'll see you back here at 12 o'clock for open house And then and then like I said, we got the weekends right around the corner and then don't forget all those big events that we got going on we got Yeah trading for the cause yesterday if you want to know more about it Just fill out the fill out you got that big discount rate that they gave you with the C2 discount We're gonna have them on again next week again to do it if you missed it. I want you guys to listen to it I'll be there. We got onsite. Make sure you guys who are gonna be doing the the trader summit Make sure you get your your your book map and you get your benzina because when these guys come here You're gonna you get the best place to ask questions is in a very small environment and be able to do that because remember You know, you need these tools to use and you know, we're using them every day in the trading room Alright guys. Good luck everyone. Happy trading and we'll see you back at 12 o'clock. All right. Good luck


Good morning, John. Sometimes it's hard to figure out what to make a video about.  So John, here is a video about people being joyful because their fruits and vegetables are amazing. Humans have been selectively breeding plants since there was agriculture, resulting in some pretty fantastic transformations. Like, check out this ancient ancestor of the carrot. No thanks. And this seedy little green banana ball. I think I'd rather not. Thank you. And my very favorite agricultural transformation. This spindly little grass seed here was apparently useful enough that we kept breeding it and breeding it and breeding it until finally we got freaking corn. What?! And we remain very good at this, so good that we just do it for fun now. And we end up with ludicrously large fruits and vegetables. And I like them, and I love to see the people who are so happy about them. Let's start out with the smallest of the big, the largest apple ever, only four pounds. Also on the list of surprisingly small, large things is the largest ever potato, only eight pounds. So if you extend that to sweet potatoes, Lebanese farmer Camille Simhot would have something to say about it with his 25 pounds sweet potato. In 1998, Alaskan farmer and mechanical engineer John Evans grew the largest ever cabbage over 76 pounds. And until this year, John Evans was also the record holder for the world's largest carrot. But this year, the title was taken by Minnesotan Chris Quali with his 22 pound carrot that is frankly upsetting to look at. This year is Tim St. He did not grow the largest zucchini, but I did very much like that picture of him holding it. Likewise, look at this happy woman who has grown the world's largest pineapple. It's Christine McCallum. Thank you. And of course, as long as we're talking about happy people holding their giant vegetables, here's Peter Glazebrook holding his world's largest onion like a baby. Oh yeah. Peter Glazebrook and his onion are the cutest thing. I love them. Trees and bushes will often have a structural problem growing giant fruits, which is why this world's largest tomato is being held up by some pantyhose. But weirdly enough, there's a variety of lemon called the 9 pound lemon tree that grows 9 pound lemons or more, and somehow it manages this just fine. And there are a few 9 pound lemon trees at Epcot in Orlando where I think the world's largest lemon was harvested 15 pounds. Now beating out all this stuff by a lot are the gourds. Not the band. There is a band called the gourds. Melons, squashes, cucumbers are all members of the gourd family, and gourds can grow very big. The world's largest watermelon grown by Chris Kent in Tennessee weighed in at over 350 pounds. And remember that the largest thing on this list so far with that 76 pound cabbage? This is a big watermelon, but it is nothing compared to the biggest pumpkin. Now here's the situation. The pumpkin is the biggest fruit or vegetable, so if you grow the largest pumpkin, you have grown the largest fruit. John, I didn't know this until I started researching this video, but there are giant pumpkin festivals all over the world. So the fight for who has the largest pumpkin is hard-fought, and in 2016 the winner beat the previous record by over 300 pounds. Mateus Vilemine of Belgium hit it out of the park. It's 2600 pounds. Look at this man. He is a star. But these festivals tend to be held around October 10th, which I know is an important day for other reasons. So we don't know if Matthias' pumpkin is gonna get beat out in 2017. John, the world championship of pumpkins way off is this Sunday. I don't know about you, but that's gonna take over all of the anxiety I have over anything else that's all I'll be thinking about is this wonderful pumpkin championship. Nothing else is gonna stress me out. Just be at peace. You'll be fine. Your book is great. People will love it. And John, I will see you on Sunday when I fly to New York City. On the very day of the European championship of pumpkins way off. Best of luck to all the pumpkin competitors at all of the pumpkin festivals. I think that you and your pumpkins are just great. In the end, you can turn them into a canoe, and there is actually a canoe race. That's just pumpkin canoes. Humans. Wow!


Today is a great day here in Ethiopia. Today we are bringing blockchain to Africa here in Ethiopia. Today we are proving the beauty of technology and that technology doesn't have boundaries. At a time as early as this in the evolution of blockchain, when people just starting to hear this word blockchain itself, the Ministry of Science and Technology of Ethiopia used its chance to grab the first ever opportunity to go to grab the technology and the people around this beautiful technology. For this out it would be very unfair if I'm not tanking Dr. Lenny with us today who has been instrumental to introducing John to me and also to let us know the IOHK and the initiative IOHK is bringing to Ethiopia. My next tank also goes to Mr. Charles and the whole IOHK team for being willing to give us this chance of putting Ethiopia on the blockchain geospatial map. For many people around the world blockchain is hard in a connection with Bitcoin but as one expert once said blockchain is operating system while Bitcoin is one of the applications. So today we are not talking about specific application but rather we talk about the operating system itself. Ethiopia is a land of origins and blockchain is the technology of the origins. Coffee originated in Ethiopia, today we unite blockchain and coffee. Blockchain is a technological platform for storing and sharing information across a network of users in an open virtual space. The technology provides openness, transparency and undisputable data history from the source to destination. For example, for a given food item or agricultural product blockchain provides genetic sample from the food product to positively identify its species, country and locality of origin, exposures to toxins and unregulated medication, pesticides or insect sites and other key markers. The samples can be cross-checked with a recurve to ensure that the product is authentic and comes from the land of origin. Blockchain represents technologies that efficiently manage supply chain, data across complex network from farmers to distributors, processors, retailers, regulators and consumers. So blockchain is not meant only for Bitcoin but also for agricultural products like coffee. Blockchain provides a distributed and shared public digital ledger that provides a neutral open platform without need of third-party authorized transactions. But rather set of rules all participants, both users and the operators of the system must abide by. It follows users, it allows users to look at all transactions simultaneously and in real time, making food and agricultural products authentic and traceable and secure. Researchers show that even in some developed countries 30 to 40% of the food people eat are either adulterated or mislabeled. And blockchain is believed to be the technology to address the serious challenge across the supply chain of agricultural and food products. In Ethiopia, we have been working on the possibility of adopting blockchain for marketing of agricultural products, especially for coffee. It's all about ensuring the traceability of Ethiopian coffee, for example that the primary quality coffee is not adulterated and that the consumer proves that they drink the coffee they want to drink. Harar coffee, Yerga Jaffa coffee, Sidamo coffee, Limu coffee, Nekamt coffee and so on. The Ministry of Science and Technology of Ethiopia and IOHK are collaborating and researching an area of application to use their blockchain platform called Cardono, to be built upon by Ethiopian developers and entrepreneurs. To this end, the Ministry of Science and Technology and IOHK are launching an educational program that trains young Ethiopian university graduates as professional developers in one specific blockchain platform. We plan to make the first batch of graduates all girls to promote and highlight the importance and participation of women in coding. Ethiopia is very much known for its all women cabin crew in Ethiopian Airlines flights, which has won global recognition. Today, the Ministry of Science and Technology of Ethiopia launched an all-girl blockchain training platform, training facility, for the first batch. We trust that the girls who provide, we trust that the girls would provide better solutions to the authenticity, traceability and security to Ethiopian coffee transactions, thereby benefitting all players across the supply value chain. So, I hereby take the liberty to call upon Ethiopian girls who have graduated since the last five years from the Ethiopian universities in software engineering, computer engineering, computer sciences and electrical engineering to join the first batch of blockchain training here in Ethiopia in collaboration with the Ministry of Science and Technology and IOHK. The selection shall be done based on programming skills and commitments to serving your beautiful country, Ethiopia. So, if you think you are the best and if you think you are born for blockchain, come and apply. Let's blockchain. Let me thank all individuals who have made this their success, John, Yudahi and the ICT team members from most and IOHK. Finally, I'd like to recognize and thank Mr. Charles and the whole IOHK team for accepting our request to make Ethiopia on the blockchain special map at this early stage in time. Blockchain is here. Blockchain is in Ethiopia. Blockchain for coffee supply, value chain and the let's blockchain. Thank you very much. I would like to welcome you all to the person that is in charge of the African markets, Mr. John O'Connor to the podium. Hello. So, first of all, I'd like to start by welcoming everyone in this room to Ethiopia's first blockchain forum. The purpose of today is to start a conversation around a single question. That question is how can blockchain technology be used to improve systems and industries in Ethiopia? For IOHK, there is a second crucial question, which is how IOHK as a company can help drive this movement. A disclaimer before we start, we have not come here today with the answers to all these questions. However, we have come with a commitment to spend the time and resources to discover the best solutions for Ethiopia. For this, we will need the help of everyone in this room. And so my hope for today is to begin a dialogue and a knowledge exchange that will allow us to find the structures in Ethiopia where blockchain can be most effectively used to accelerate economic growth, leapfrogging outdated systems, and unfettering the lion. We hope to encourage Ethiopia to be the dynamic and powerful economy that we all aspire for it to be. And so, what is IOHK? You may be wondering this by now. We are a global technology company and the world's leading blockchain engineering company. We design and build blockchains for government and for the private sector. Some of you in this room may not have a good understanding of what blockchain is, whilst others may do. I'll leave it to IOHK CEO Charles Hoskinson to explain simply and clearly what blockchain is and what the value is for Ethiopia. But before we embark on this journey, it's important to drive home one key point which Dr. Gatahun has already started to discuss. Blockchain is not the same as Bitcoin. Whilst Bitcoin was built on blockchain, it is just one narrow application of an incredibly diverse technology. As you will hear today, blockchain can be used to do some magical and unexpected things. And so many of its applications are so incredibly relevant to Ethiopia today. One of my goals in organizing today's conference is to share some of our initial ideas about what these applications might be and to have you all share in our excitement about blockchain's potential in Ethiopia. Yes, these are only ideas, but with your help, we can turn them into real solutions that will create jobs, drive exports and generate foreign currency inflows into Ethiopia. We are not the experts on Ethiopia. However, the government officials, university fellows and private sector workers in this room are. And I hope that starting from today, we can leverage your expertise to create a leading understanding of Ethiopia's needs, which will enable us to build bespoke solutions for this wonderful country. Having introduced IOHK, I'd now like to introduce myself. Looking around the room, I've had the privilege of meeting many of you already. But for all of you I have not, I'm Jon O'Connor and I'm the head of operations, director of African operations for IOHK. I've spent the last two years working with IOHK to showcase the power of our blockchain technology. Whilst recently, the market cap and public interest in crypto currencies has exploded across the world, this has never been my personal interest. The reason I joined this project and have invested so much of my energy into promoting IOHK around the world is because of the power this technology has in enabling countries to leapfrog traditional understandings of development. By now, the world is familiar with Kenya's and PASA, which enabled mobile payments to happen years before financial institutions in the West had used their existing infrastructure to provide the same functionality for their users. Blockchain offers even greater promise. Done right, blockchain will allow countries like Ethiopia to build their infrastructure with lower cost, greater efficiency and more functionality than their Western counterparts. IOHK hopes to support this shift in any way it can and so do I. Myself, I've been lucky enough to be raised in the mixed race background. My wonderful mother and father is actually sitting over there. My mother is Ethiopian and my father is Irish and from both of these cultures, I've witnessed and learned a sense of entrepreneurialism, which is so apt to welcoming a new technology like blockchain. In Ethiopia, this entrepreneurialism is powered by a number of excellent universities, an increasingly educated population and a diversity of cultures and ideas. And so when we were evaluating the options for where to launch IOHK's African operations, for all of us, there was a clear answer in Ethiopia. Whilst we're excited to come to Ethiopia ourselves, we are even more excited about the opportunity to harness these great attributes in Ethiopia to foster further growth. We hope to hire Ethiopians to work for IOHK by providing training in the cutting edge Haskell programming language that we use, which will enable Ethiopians to be the ones building bespoke solutions for this country's needs. I am so excited with IOHK to be able to work here to implement this technology and to help Ethiopia grow into a technology leader in Africa as well as the world. And now on to the most important parts, the thank yous. This conference is being held in partnership with the Ministry of Science and Technology. I cannot thank enough Dr. Gettahund, whose vision and drive has allowed this day to happen. The memorandum of understanding which we signed here today is a product of his desire to make Ethiopia a leader in the technology space, not just in Africa, but also globally. When I arrived here in Addis not so many months ago, late on a Sunday evening, IOHK had no expectation or even hope that just two days later I would be meeting with the Minister of Science and Technology. To have such an enthusiastic and forward thinking partner gives confidence in our belief that we would not only like to set up operations in Ethiopia, but run our entire African operations right here from Addis. Of course we are at an early stage, but with the support and talent I have seen here, I see no reason why this should not be the case. I would also like to thank our speakers, Brooke, Dr. Eleni, Shem, Jonathan and Vince, who will all share their time and experiences with us over the rest of the day. Finally, I would also like to thank Aaron, the event organizer who has been working with me here in Addis, who has gone above and beyond the call of duty, as well as Yodehe, Dr. Gessin's technical advisor and stick employee. He has not only managed the ministry side of the event, but has also been invaluable in helping me navigate the process of setting up our operations. With the thank yous done, I would now like to introduce IOHK CEO Charles Hoskinson. As you will find out, Charles is a modest man with little to be modest about. Charles will help me for saying this, but he is an academic who has also set up three multi-billion dollar businesses all before the age of 30. And yet, his greatest achievement, perhaps, is the fact that that is actually the least interesting thing about him. Google's motto is don't be evil. If I were to guess at what Charles would have chosen, it would be just try and do good. And so I would like to thank you all for coming today. And as I ask for a big round of applause for IOHK's CEO and commander-in-chief, Mr. Charles Hoskinson. Hi, everybody. It's good to be in Ethiopia. We started in Israel, and we worked our way over here next stop Rwanda and after that London. And I finally get to take a vacation for a week. It's been three years and I'm still not sure where I'm going to go. So I'm Charles Hoskinson. I'm the CEO of Input Output. I've done a few companies before that, Ethereum and BitShares. And I'm an accidental entrepreneur. I never thought I was actually going to start a company. I was a mathematician and I thought I was going to be an academic. And I kind of stumbled my way into this space. And it's a pretty magical space. See, blockchain technology, cryptocurrency technology is really a human field. It's tremendously interesting from an academic perspective. You have an intersection of all of these different fields of study, cryptography, distributed systems theory, game theory, economics, law and policy. But at the end of the day it's about people and it's about how people relate to each other. It's about trust. It's about coordination. It's about representation of value. It's about identity. It's about reputation. It's about a collection of these factors that we all take for granted. In countries like the United States, in places like Europe, we have very good systems at the moment for coordinating. So we have lots of wealth. And other places in the world, those systems for whatever reason aren't where they need to be. And so it's hard for people to build wealth and maintain wealth and sustain wealth and be able to trade. And these problems have only been exacerbated by the consequences of globalization. As we globalize, it's bringing opportunity to many, but it's not quite getting to all. So the magic of blockchain technology is it's going to, in a way, restructure the entire global economy, much like the internet did and much like many institutions did before that. It wasn't too long ago that if you were in the financial industry, you didn't go to the United States. You went to England. In the 19th century Junius Morgan, the father of J.P. Morgan, couldn't actually get a stable financial business in New York. He had to go to England and work with George Peabody. Think of that. The country now that has the largest financial markets, it's in charge of a large chunk of the world economy.  Our currency wasn't very strong. Our bonds often defaulted. And yet just 50 years later, we were a goliath. Why? Because technology changes. Social processes change. Trust changes. The arc of society changes. And so what blockchain technology is doing for the world is it's a great reset. The people who run things today will probably not be the people who run things tomorrow. And the people who are hungry today, the people who really want to make an impact today, can have a chance and a generation or two of being in charge of the next world economy. And we've already seen great innovation amongst people very hungry in Singapore and in Switzerland and Lichtenstein. You know, recently I was in Barbados, old Barbados known for its rum. And the government's extremely hungry to welcome the market here. And we actually ran a class there in partnership with the University of West Indies. We trained a whole group of Asian developers. And they're extremely excited about everything from innovating the money to supply chain management for production of sugar cane and rum and other such things to how to better handle identity and reputation as they globalize. So it's extremely exciting to me to have the opportunity to come to a place like Ethiopia, a very ancient country with an incredible history. In fact, this is the birthplace of humanity. I believe one of the oldest fossils was discovered right here, Lucy. And it's an extraordinary culture. To be able to come here is quite humbling actually. And to be able to actually learn about the problems is incredibly humbling as well. Reality is we have the best scientists in Scotland and Japan and many other places. There's actually even media here from Japan. But while we can build pretty much anything, it's hard for us to know what to build without actually interacting with the people that need it. So the only way to do that is not to show up and assume you know everything. The only way to do that is to talk and to train people, to learn from people. And in our experience, the best way of learning from people is to teach them what we know and then have them teach us what they know. So how do we do that? Our model is simple. We go and partner with the university, partner with the government and say, give us your best. And then we'll give those people a great opportunity. I'll bring my best. When we say we're going to teach you a class is the person who created the programming language. He's a world famous professor, Phil Wadler at University of Edinburgh. He's got a Wikipedia page, I think 25,000 citations in the academic world that means you won. He's at the top. And this is the kind of thing that most excites him throughout his entire career. And when we teach students here he's going to be involved in that, as will Duncan Coots who came from Oxford, as will Lars Brunjes, a German mathematician who trained at Cambridge and others. That's our best. They're experts not only in the technology we deal with, but technology in general. And after we've trained them, you know what? We're going to set them loose at the local industry and say, tell me about coffee. You see, I grew up in Hawaii and we also have coffee. It's Kona coffee. And actually it was a bit disheartening growing up there, looking at the sugar cane, the pineapple in the coffee industry, which used to be a big chunk of an economy, completely go away. It's all been replaced. When I was growing up, I'd go into the pineapple fields and steal pineapples. It was fun. I think a lot of the kids did that. Now it's just condos and golf courses or vacant land because the industry wasn't sustainable. So agro tech actually and agriculture in general in our family's history, my dad grew up in Montana. My grandfather grew up in Montana. They were ranchers. It's a big chunk of our family's history. It's where we come from. It's exciting to ask about innovation, whether it be how do we improve yields or how do we combine AI and IoT and blockchain technology together to get a better understanding of the supply chain and what we need to do to actually reduce waste, fraud and abuse and improve profit and equitability for all. You know, that's exciting.  And you know a lot more than basically anybody else in the world came from. So what's amazing is that we can talk to the best here, bring our best, train some people here and within a very short period of time, months to years, build products and innovations that are more sophisticated than the ones you'd see in Silicon Valley or you'd see in Tokyo or you'd see in London. That's a really amazing thing and that just shows you how powerful and scalable this technology can be and what we can do. As a closing thought, you know, throughout the arc of my career, yes, I've started a few companies and apparently they're somewhat successful and I made a few dollars here and there. But a mantra I like to live my life by is it's not what you do for those who have the most that define you. It's what you do for those who have the least. That's what we have to live our lives by. And for the first time in human history because of the internet and because of this open source movement, because of blockchain technology, we are starting to have discussions about markets, about identity, about property in a global perspective instead of these siloed perspectives, which means everybody in the world has equal opportunity and everybody in the world, no matter where they're born, whether they won the geographic lottery or not, if they're hungry and they really want to push forward for something, they'll have a chance to actually compete at the same level that I got to and other things that I came from got to. And that's really humbling and that's really exciting and I think it's actually going to make the world a much better place. So thank you all for coming. I look forward to learning from you and this is going to be a really exciting trip. Cheers.

Patriot Prime here once again with another video. But before I get started with the subject of this video, I want to give a huge shout out to my sponsor toyhacks.com. Toyhacks is a company that provides upgrade decals for modern transformer figures along with reproduction decals for the vintage ones.

Each purchase from Toyhacks earns you Robocents that you can use for future purchases. You can check your balance anytime in your cart. Toyhacks is a company run by collectors for collectors. So make sure and check out toyhacks.com and tell them Patriot Prime sent you. Now on to the review. The featured button this video is 1986's Transformers Generation 1 Ultra Magnus. Now Ultra Magnus first hit the toy shelves in 1986 to coincide with his appearance in The Transformers The Movie. But before he was seen in Transformers The Movie, he appeared in a kick-ass commercial. Now I think that commercial is kind of a bait and switch because you hear Optimus Prime talk about the born leader that Ultra Magnus is along with Megatron talking about how powerful Galvatron is. And when the movie happened we found out the true story regarding these characters. Now Ultra Magnus of course everyone knows from Transformers The Movie was what we thought was going to be the new leader of the Autobots when Optimus Prime gave him the Matrix. Now of course Ultra Magnus lost the Matrix near the end of the movie when he was destroyed by Galvatron Sweeps. Ultra Magnus was then repaired by the Junkions and pretty much took a backseat for the rest of the movie. He appeared in multiple episodes throughout season 3 even having a few knockdown drag out fights with Psyclonus. In Marvel Comics Ultra Magnus made his first appearance in The Transformers The Movie comic adaptation. And that for me was how I experienced Transformers The Movie because it never opened in a theater in my area. And one of the things I noticed when I read the comic compared to when I saw the movie was the comic shows the original death of Ultra Magnus where he is drawn and quartered. Now the comics get the original screenplay and that's how they're able to put out the adaptation right before the movie comes out. So in the original story Ultra Magnus was supposed to be drawn and quartered but they thought that was a little too violent in the Ultra Violent Transformers The Movie so they changed it. But if you compare the deleted scene storyboards of Ultra Magnus' original death with the audio from the movie it matches up perfectly. As you'll see in this video from The Space Bridge. I want the Matrix. Never. We exterminate him. Get across my master. And that was pretty much it for Ultra Magnus in Marvel Comics. He never appeared in the ongoing series but did appear frequently in the UK series where it was always him versus Galvatron. So enough with the history of Ultra Magnus let's take a look at this fantastic Generation 1 toy and welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews. In vehicle mode Ultra Magnus transforms into a very patriotic looking armored car carrier and this is a large G1 vehicle. Ultra Magnus here is almost the exact same size as G1 Optimus Prime. If you take Ultra Magnus here and compare him to Optimus Prime's trailer the car carrier section is the exact same size. Now of course the cab section of Ultra Magnus is a repaint of G1 Optimus Prime. That's the exact same but because the trailer hitch for Prime's trailer sets closer to the front of the trailer Optimus Prime is just a little bit longer in full combined mode. Now G1 Ultra Magnus pulls off being a car carrier a lot better than some of his new modern incarnations. For example you can take a G1 hot rod. You can place him up top. There's actually little indentations up here that holds the wheels in place. You have hot rod here. You can't really put another deluxe on the back because he's going to fall off but there is room to put say minibots. And here on the backside there's actually these flaps that come down so vehicles can drive up inside Ultra Magnus so Ultra Magnus can carry them on as well. Now hot rod won't fit because he is a little wide but the minibots fit perfectly and yet you can still slide hot rod in if you'd like so he can store in the bottom like so you just can't drive him up the ramp. Now my Ultra Magnus right here is an original 1986 version so he comes with rubber tires both for the cab section and the car carrier. Now in later releases which may have been 1987 Hasbro got a little cheap and the tires were plastic and also here on the cab they replaced the windows that he has with nothing. And for the longest time I thought my windows had aged and they had this yellow tint to them but according to online that is correct. Ultra Magnus had yellow tinted windows. That's really cool. I never really paid that much attention to that when I was a kid but as I said in later releases they removed the windows and replaced the tires with plastic which kind of sucked. Let's put Ultra Magnus back together here. Now as you can see he comes apart pretty easy from the trailer hitch but once you get him attached he rolls really good. Those rubber tires are awesome and I love it. I love the fact we had rubber tires back in the G1 days. Now up here on top he does have missile launchers but due to safety features there is no launching to these missiles. You pull the button and you can take the missile out but that's about it. There is a spring inside but man it's just it is weak.  Now I know on the reissue Ultra Magnus the missiles I believe can fire but they've been elongated. These little missiles right here are about that long. This section here is almost two inches long which would really make that look a little odd. Now let's take a closer look at the car carrier itself. Lots of great molded details. I love the red, white and blue color scheme. Now the decals for the car carrier are Toyhacks decals and there's an extra bonus decal right there that I'll go over later that I don't believe Toyhacks even makes anymore. So I really like the looks of this. Now a feature that I really couldn't do because I didn't have the space in my review area is you can actually flip these little sections here back like so and you can lower the top section right here so you can make it look like the vehicles are actually driving up a ramp and then Ultra Magnus can raise this back up and lock them into place.  It doesn't keep the missile launchers from popping off but oh well. And that's pretty much it for the car carrier mode. I love the details there on the rims. Looks really, really good. So let's go ahead and put this to the side and take a look at the cab. Now my cab is a little rough. I'm going to have to get a Molotow chrome pin and fix up the bumper and some of the other chrome details. Excuse me. I have no idea why I got sticker decals for the carrier but no decals for the cab. These are original decals right here. You can see those are a little rough but this cab right here is the exact same mold as G1 Optimus Prime. Of course this G1 is a reissue. You can tell by the shortened smokestacks but I have an original prime I'll show off with Robot Mode. Of course you can see the plastic translucent windows right there. Really, really cool. Now when I was a kid and I had this Ultra Magnus I used this version as the protected Optimus Prime.  So as I said earlier also rubber tires right there. Now that rubber feels a little hard so I may not mess with that too much. That's the one big issue with having these old vehicles or old transformers with rubber. Sometimes they tend to crack but I don't see that problem with my. So now let's go ahead and get Ultra Magnus almost caught him Optimus Prime. Let's get Ultra Magnus transformed into Robot Mode. Exactly the same as Optimus Prime. Flip the legs down, flip the feet up, swing out the arms, flip that head up and there you have Ultra Magnus in Robot Mode. And of course like G1 Optimus Prime you have to plug in the fists. There is a little bit of parts for me. Now I am not sure if these fists are my original or not. See how this section here sticks up? I don't know if these are ladder year Ultra Magnus fists or reissue fists. So maybe you guys who are better G1 toy gurus than me can hit me up in the comment and let me know. But there we go. There is Ultra Magnus in Robot Mode and he looks exactly like G1 Optimus Prime except for the color scheme. Now as I said earlier with the ladder releases of Ultra Magnus Hasbro got cheap. And one of the cheap things they did for this version they omitted the paint right there on the head. There was no blue or red. It was a plain white head on Ultra Magnus which actually looked terrible. So now let's go ahead and give Ultra Magnus here his weapon. He does have this really cool looking gun. And you have to flip it. See how it's got two handles. You have to flip it on this side. So this version as I am going to call the unarmored Ultra Magnus can wield it. So there you go. So now let's compare Generation 1 Ultra Magnus with Generation 1 Optimus Prime. And as you can see they actually look really good together. You can tell that they're nothing more than a straight up repaint. Now I am noticing that there's some horrible knees on my Ultra Magnus. This guy definitely needs cleaned up and have some stickers add to him. That may be a future toy hacks video of mine. Now articulation for Ultra Magnus is the exact same as G1 Optimus Prime. No articulation whatsoever in the head unless you want to have him look up. That's due to transformation. The arms can do a complete 360 and his hand will fall right out. There's also an elbow bend and an elbow rotation. Get the hand back in. No waist articulation. Now the legs can move back and that's it. Also due to transformation. And he also has a knee bend so he can do that. And since the fists do plug in separately I guess there's wrist rotation. Now another thing you can do with Ultra Magnus is he can actually wield the missile launchers in his hands like handheld weapons. There's little pegs on the side. Just peg that one in right there. And let's see. This one here on the other side. So there we go. So you got a unique look for your Ultra Magnus. But these are a little heavy and I do not know why that hand does not want to stay in. So let's go ahead and give Ultra Magnus his weapon back. Now with those fists being as loose as they are plugging into the figure I'm really starting to wonder if those are the right ones to go with Ultra Magnus. So now let's get Ultra Magnus transformed into the mode we all know and love is Super Robot Mode. Now to transform Ultra Magnus into his Super Robot Mode not only are you going to utilize the car carrier but there are extra accessories you'll also need. This chest piece, the Super Robot head and two extra fists. So there is going to be more parts for me. Now I do want to show you something cool with this little chest piece right here. Like I said it's a chest piece but if you look at it at this angle it looks like a little ship. Now this carries over from the Diaclone line that the Transformers originated from in Japan and there were Diaclone pilots that drove these vehicles. And you could utilize this chest piece as like a little sky sled and the pilot would sit right there. See how that actually looks like a seat. So that's pretty cool. That's something I didn't know about until probably just a couple years ago. And you can actually take Ultra Magnus's Super Robot head and plug it right there on the top. So you have this armored drone or sky sled thing and I think that's really neat. And you can even store this in Ultra Magnus in car carrier mode if you don't want to utilize it for carrying vehicles. So it'll snap right in place there. You can plug in the head. So there you go. That is an option. Actually that looks like a little battle platform. So you can probably reverse that and use your hate plague Optimus Prime along with this as a weapon mount. So another option you can do. So I'm going to go ahead and take this out. That's actually where it's going to plug later on and we're going to transform the car carrier. So the first thing we want to do is move this section up and these actually peg in. You have to pull these apart. They peg in down here on the back and they're on the front. So peg those or unpeg those and swing those around and there's a little tab right here. See a little clips that is going to clip into place. So you've got that going on now on Ultra Magnus's back. This is the trailer hitch.  It's on there a little tight. It pegs in right there. You see these little pegs that coincide with those holes right there. So we've got all this going on. I'm going to have to zoom out. So now from this point what you're going to do is fold these sections down that held the top half of the car carrier up and just flip these up. And these will actually lock into place as well. There's a little tab right there. There's a stress mark right there. I hate seeing stress marks on my G1s. But you want to go ahead and get that tab right through that section right there. That was scary. So now these are tabbed into place. Go ahead and the arms are swinging all over the place. Rotate the arms forward and you're going to take this long section right here and push that up. Do that on both sides. Now when I did this earlier testing to see if my Ultra Magnus still transformed okay. Those were so tight and they actually snapped back and cut my thumb. So if you're seeing or not my thumb right here, they cut right there. So that's where that came from. Ultra Magnus did that to me. So rotate the arms around. You've got that section up. Now you're going to take the arm here and bend forward. So you've got that going on. And there is Ultra Magnus's armor. Put that to the side. So now what you need to do is take your unarmored Ultra Magnus. Go ahead and remove the fists and the weapon. And you're going to have transforming.  That way I do not lose them.   But that's it. You're just going to have him looking like this. Now you're going to take the armor section. Go ahead and fold Magnus's toes down. And you're going to plug this unarmored Magnus into this section here. The tabs or the pegs where the hitch went are going to line up with the holes right there where his fists went. And also right here you've got these little pieces sticking out from the wheels. Those are going to line up with those slots right there. So we'll go ahead and get him lined up and plugged in. And he actually plugs in pretty tight. So now we've got that going on. Now we're going to take the giant robot head to slide that over the unarmored version. And then you have these larger fists. There is a right and left. So make sure and plug those into the right sections or the right pegs. You're going to take the missile launchers from earlier. Make sure the launcher button and you're going to take the missile launchers from earlier. Make sure the launch button is on the top. Put the peg in right there on his shoulders. Nice tight fit as well. Take the chest piece and that's going to plug in right here at the top. Snaps right into place. You've got the trailer hitch. It now becomes Ultra Magnus's belt. You've got these little pegs right there. Just line those up. Got those on and now you're going to take the rifle from earlier and you're going to flip it. We have this oval handle opposed to the round handle and just plug that into Ultra Magnus's hand. And there we have Ultra Magnus in super robot mode. Now Ultra Magnus's super robot mode is the mode that we're all familiar with from the movie, the cartoon show and the comics. And it looks really, really good. All of the details from the car carrier carry over to robot mode along with that fantastic color scheme. Great decals. Like I said, I don't know why I decaled the carrier but not the inner robot. But as you can see, the inner robot doesn't show at all other than the windows. Now right here, this decal is one that was not included on the original figure, the original Ultra Magnus. This entire section was red. This was a bonus toy hacks decal that came with a variety set that they used to sell back when they were Repro labels. And it was just one large white decal as you can see that makes it look like Ultra Magnus has legs. And I really like the looks of that. Now this figure here is nothing but a brick. I mean, there's hardly any articulation. The arms can rotate a complete 360 minor really, really tight. So I don't want to fool with that. And there is an elbow bend and that's it. Other than that, he is just rolling around and he actually has a wheel right there. So you get the wheels from carrier mode and this little fifth wheel right there. So Ultra Magnus can just roll around and defend Autobot City. So a fantastic figure, an iconic figure and one I am so happy to have in my collection. Now you want to talk about cheap, one of the worst things that Hasbro did when they cheapened Ultra Magnus.  See how that's nice and silver along with the silver antennas. When Hasbro went the cheap route, they left that unpainted. And when I was getting parts for this figure, as I said, this was my original G1 but I lost some of the parts. So I had to get those, which explains the weird fists I have for the inner robot. When I found an Ultra Magnus head, I discovered there was an unpainted one. And I was like, I do not remember that from mine. But after some research, that's when I found out about the cheapness of Hasbro. And I found a proper head with the painted antenna and face. So if you're wanting to complete your Ultra Magnus, make sure and be aware of those cheap Hasbro unpainted versions. So there you go guys, Ultra Magnus in a super robot mode. And now for some quick size comparisons, here is 1986's Generation 1 Ultra Magnus with Generation 1 Optimus Prime, Generation 1 Hot Rod, and Kingdom Ultra Magnus. 1986's Generation 1 Ultra Magnus is a fantastic toy with tons of playability, though he really doesn't have a lot of mobility. Ultra Magnus here is an iconic toy from the Transformers toy line and an iconic character from the Transformers mythos. And I highly recommend this guy, whether you're a G1 collector or a collector of the modern line. This guy is big, he's colorful and is going to look great on your shelf. So there you go guys, 1986's Generation 1 Ultra Magnus. So, does the 1986 Transformers Generation 1 Ultra Magnus belong in your collection? Absolutely, as I said, this is an iconic Transformers toy and character. Dare I say it, he's almost as popular as Optimus Prime. This is a beautiful looking figure and is going to look awesome back there on your display. Mine's actually dead center when I'm not filming him. So yeah, if you see an Ultra Magnus picking up, you are not going to be disappointed. But keep in mind there are a lot of pieces and parts that go with this guy. You've got four different fists, you've got the two missile launchers, the two missiles, the gun, the big robot head, the trailer. And there's a lot to be on the lookout for. And also be aware of all the different types of Ultra Magnuses there are. You have the original with the rubber tires and the painted face. You have the next one that came out, which was the cheapo plastic unpainted version. And then you had the commemorative version that came out at Toys R Us a few years ago. So they're all decent, but I definitely go with a painted version.
