Here we are. Awesome. Hi everyone. This is Chicho. Welcome to our channel and welcome to another live stream. Today is April 26th, the day after 6 and a half hour DJ live set that we hosted on Twitch and it was fantastic. Welcome to our channel and today's topic of discussion is personal finance. I titled it personal finance, defining work, open discussion. And this live stream came about because of a request and a second on the request for us to do a live stream. Let me read you what the first request was, which was quote, how to set work towards our goals and career, especially now that many of us are rethinking our work and what that means looks like. And the second was basically quote, we need a re-centering of what the work refers to and what the scope of the work is. And my reply was that sounds fantastic and the description I set up for this live stream. I'm just going to give you this because we're doing a live stream tomorrow as well on current events, news, politics, economics and personal finance and stuff. So they're related, but we sort of want to try to keep this one a little bit more focused. So when I set the schedule for this stream and I announced this on Patreon, we put it on our Discord and stuff. Quote, we've had a couple of requests to hold the live stream on how to work set towards our goals and careers, especially now that many of us are rethinking our work and what that means looks like. So let's end quote, I was quoting the request. I'm continuing to read the description of what I wrote, which is, so let's have an open discussion on defining work, rethinking, re-centering of what the work refers to and what the scope of the work is. And that's sort of taking chunks from each request. Could have made that shorter, but hello everyone, how are you doing? Hello, Catholic traditionists, good evening and good folks. I hope that you have a blessed Sunday, you too, Catholic traditionists. Sleepy waves, how's it going? Always been making hello, hello. And while we wait until the announcements go out, I'm assuming the announcements are out, which is fantastic, until people to roll in, Huckleberry, how are you doing? Hello, Chico, hot chat, how is everyone doing? Good. We had a nice dance session last night for six and a half hours, so it was a good Saturday evening, right? I think it was something that everybody needed. And that's the setup that you see behind us. That was the DJ that we started at our place and then we hosted three more DJs, so that was a lot of fun. We'll talk more about that in the future. Okay, Martin, you're here, how are you doing? I'm focused. Oh, it's early evening for you. That's good. That's good, man. Nice. And for those that are rolling in, dance party still going with me. Nice, absurdicon. We are active. That's where I'm sharing a lot of information. And the goals that I've laid out for myself for this content that we're creating. So Patreon is where you want to be if you want to follow this work. And if you want to support this work, fantastic. It's a great place to support this work. Okay, we are live streaming this on Twitch. So if you want to watch these streams and get into the discussion that's going on on chat, Twitch is where you want to be at. We do upload these to YouTube and BitShoot as much as we can. I do announce these live streams on Twitter, Gavs, Minds, VK and Elo. And the links will be in the description of this video and on my site and Patreon page and everything. So everything's sort of being linked up but decentralized from one specific platform because that's what we're working towards. Where I want to make sure we become anti-fragile and this is part of the game. I am right now uploading these to BitShoot and YouTube. As much as I can to BitShoot and YouTube period, there's issues with both sites right now. One technical on BitShoot front, one censorship on YouTube front. And I've put out a request for people to let me know what the third platform would be like. I want to make sure I think Silk, someone made a request. I think it was always been making or suggestion. Mods, thank you very much for taking care of business by the way. But it has to be a platform where it doesn't have to be subscriber based. I can't put things behind the paywall right now. As much as we can do, we're going to try to make sure nothing's going behind paywalls. If platforms start going all of them behind paywalls because that's where the economics takes things. We have no choice. We'll figure it out. I'll start uploading personal torrents on there. The way we've done for the language of mathematics, one, two, three and four. And most likely I'm going to start uploading just the audio on SoundCloud. Because someone mentioned SoundCloud would be a great way to listen to these conversations and just follow some of the content coming out. And I've already paid for one year. I did this a few months ago, one year SoundCloud membership where I can upload and get onto the podcasting scene. I just haven't had the time to do it, right? So once we do, I will announce this. By the way, welcome everyone to chat. I'm just going through my little long-winded intro on things. And the last thing, of course, we are towards the tail end of a first wave of a pandemic going through the world right now. Certain countries are opening up. Certain countries are still saying flat on the curve or still trying to do social distancing and stuff like this. Wherever you are, just remember, be kind. Care for people. Realize that certain countries or systems are being overwhelmed or have been overwhelmed. You don't want to be in one of those places. So if you think, if you're on a mindset, and logically speaking, there is something happening, if you're on a mindset that there's something happening and if you're in a part of the world that hasn't been hit by a wave, hard wave coming in, don't risk everything assuming that that may not happen to you. Okay, go slow mo. That's the name of the game right now. Okay, aside from that, welcome everyone. I'm going to take these guys down and catch up with chat. And again, this is an open discussion on sort of defining work, which is what is our economic system based on? What do you want to do in the world? How you want to interact, right? How do you want to live your life? Who are you? What do you want to put your main energy on? Where do you want to put your savings into? It's huge. This discussion is huge. And it's not just about economics, personal finance. It's a way of life. Please keep that in mind. Personal finance is a way of life, right? It depends on where you are in your life, where you are financially, where you are in terms of your life cycle, where you are intellectually through education, through family, everything, right? Heavy topic. Considering we just finished a few hours ago, we just finished a six and a half hour live stream set, right? So I'm going to try to catch up a little bit. And go speedy Gonzales through the chat here. I like the wooden art you got. Thanks, Sleepy Waves. I put out a video on this wooden art, by the way. If you do, go to our art. Go chicho art, paintings. I don't know what I called it. I show you guys these in ASMR format. And another one. It was a triple set. Dan's party is still going on. What's up? Birdie, how are you doing? The announcement just went out. It just went out awesome. Hello, hello. AbsurdCon. I've been listening to the house mixes all day while I study and write reports. Nice. AbsurdCon. It was a fantastic DJ set. And from all indications, everybody's game to do more. And this was a sampling of the DJs that we have in our area and the connections that are around. So we might do longer sets or just host them or have the DJs that we know. Some of the ones you saw, the four you saw last night, host. However, it's going to work out. I think we'll do more. It was fantastic. Super fun. Love the music last night, Catholic traditionalist. First time I have really listened to electronic ambient house music since college. Nice. Life should be one long dance party. I don't like that kind of language. Who are you talking about? Okay. Man's been left two minutes and we already have got a troll. Okay. I had to ban someone last night too. Accidentally. I banned someone last night and then I unbanned them. My bad. A spear. How are you doing? Good call. AbsurdCon. Okay. I'm going down gang. I can't catch up with the chat. Always be making. Always be making is one of the people that second the original request I came in. So my request was more directly specifically at you, Chico. Okay. I'm more interested in what your goals are with the channels and your brand and what we can actually do to help. Oh, wow. I wasn't even thinking this always be making. We can talk about it. Let me see if there's anything specific that anyone wants to deal with. My goals, I've laid out my goals really from the get go. Like my about page, I'll deal with this. Lay it out and see it. The about page that I created for my blog in 2005 has maybe changed a couple of words just to clarify things, right? Because I started blogging in 2005. So my about page from 2005 has not really changed for the last 15 years, minor edits, right? Maybe I just started blogging. So I used the wrong words. I learned how to write while I was blogging in a big way because our education system so horrendous, there's no way you know how to interact, communicate with our world when you come out of a centralized education system because you grew up in a bubble. You have no idea what's outside that bubble. So it took me a long time, was multiple phases in trying to re-educate myself, reprogram myself, right? So I'll read you my about page. Here. Let me read you my about page. I'm sorry if I'm going on rants gang. I think the discussion is important. We've come to a period right now where a lot of changes are taking place. Disruptive innovation is kicking in, okay? And we've talked about disruptive innovation. We're seeing how things unfold in the world and everybody should be aware of what's going on politically, economically on every front right now because if you're not getting caught up with the noise where you're chasing, either chasing the carrier or being feared into insanity or whatever it is, if you're just calm, cool, quiet and just look at the data coming in, you're going to need the language of mathematics to be able to process this information, right? You can see things coming a mile away.  That's my first bit of advice regarding this whole thing. Slow down, right? Here's my about page and this about page has not really changed since 2005, going through three different iterations, three different websites, right? Introduction. As the advent of the Internet, we have seen unfiltered information travel at light speed across the globe. This global community functioning as the only true free society is reshaping our world. Where this interaction and connectivity will lead us is yet to be determined. However, the changes are and continue to be unprecedented. As long as we have open and unbiased access to the Internet, chichou.com will remain active, presenting a unique personal perspective and sharing our group, our communal experiences and knowledge, the essence of the Internet. As for who I am, I believe that our personal perspective is a reflection of our influences. Hence below, I have provided some of my influences, both major and minor, from books that I have read to teachers that I have encountered to movies and documentary documentaries that I have watched to music that I have looped and much more. This list, in addition to the animated individual you see before you in the math videos, should provide additional insight into my nature. I hope you enjoyed this love of labor, right? And this about page is, in essence, what came out of 2005, right? And it took me a while to write this, by the way. It took me, because the thought of blogging came to me, it was suggested to me through a friend, a very close dear friend. I believe in 2000 and some of my students back in 2001 and 2002, they were saying, chichou, you need to go online, you need to go online. I said, okay, I hesitate, I hesitate. And you reached a point where I had no choice to go online because some of the information that I was seeking was not available online. So I realized that the discourse had already dropped off since 9-11 because a lot of filters were put on the net, a lot of censorship started taking place online, right? Main reason, main driving mechanism of this was, of course, big data, right? So it took me a few years to start this. So this was a work in progress over a few years of me deciding what it was I really wanted to do online, okay? So in regards to your question, okay, always be making. So my request was more directed specifically at you, chichou, I'm more interested in what your goals are with the channels and your brand and what we can actually do to help, which links up to what I did as the intro, which is basically, we need to slow down, right? And that's one of the things I've been trying to propagate through my mathematics and some of the other content and all of a sudden creating ASMR related content, right? And I've been doing that through education, through teaching mathematics, which is we need to slow down, right? I've narrowed down for myself where I want to tackle the problem that we face as a society through the realm of education, okay? Because I realized one of the problems that we have is centralized education is indoctrinating people into their bubble that they want them to exist in so people are getting lost, right? And by the time they realize what has happened, they blink and their life is over. So their life experience, their ride has not been enjoyable. So where do we start, right? Where do we start? Sleepy waves, top of the discussion, I guess, right? Sleepy waves, chichou. My self-esteem has been low because I feel like I am very much in the beginning, backed of, back end of staring a new music career and haven't been able to share any finished work with my friends. I'm almost, it almost feels like if you don't have anything to show people, show people won't take you seriously, but it's hard. So much learning curve to get through for sleepy waves. I hope my rant for the last 10 minutes answered your question as well. It's not supposed to be easy and it wasn't easy. Dude, it's hard work. I can't say how much time I spent personally from my front. I knew what I wanted to do, and I knew I would continue to do this as long as we had open, unfiltered, uncensored access to the Internet. Once the sensors block off this information and we can't share our thoughts openly, that's the time where you have to step away, right? And that's the promise I made myself when I started this, right? And if you're waiting to have a finished work to share, you're never going to share anything sleepy waves. When I started sharing information, it wasn't finished work. Have you seen the first math video I put out? I was stumbling, I was stuttering, I knew what I wanted to be said, and it's not a bad video, it's pretty good, it's sincere. But that's... I was just learning, right? My first bits of writing, my God, I went through... You know how much feedback, negative and positive feedback I was going through to try to figure out what the best way was to share that information? Like, don't wait until you have a finished product to share with people. Share. If you're trying to make, for example, if you're trying to make a 10-minute short documentary, docudrama, if you're trying to share a bit of music, five minutes of music, you're saying you're trying to share music, share 30-second clips of it that you're happy, right? Share little bits of it, send it out. Get a little feedback. If you don't share with anyone, you'll never get a feedback from anyone.  Your vision will never be realized if you don't share, right? So you need to share no matter what it is that you're doing and you gotta have to grow thick skin. You're gonna get criticized. People are gonna rip you apart. They will. Good on them, and you better take it as criticism, not personally, but as something that you can improve on, right? The wooden artist's groovy. Padre, padre, padre. How are you doing? That set was amazing. That set was amazing, Hobbleton. That was amazing. Got me pumped, right? This is Speedy Gonzales, Chicho, after a nice session, DJ session, right? You get energized, you get juices flowing, right? Please tell me she will do more. She was my favorite of that nice Spider-Man. For sure she will. OK, I'm going down, I'm going down. Absurdicon, Chicho. I would encourage you to check out confused bio-product of a misinformed culture, right? I don't know. Absurdicon. I can't follow who you recommend on YouTube and anyone else while we're streaming. If you're going to do recommendations, Discord is a place to do before the stream, preferably not five minutes before the stream. And after the stream, right? I would definitely check stuff out. I know a lot of, there's a lot of disruptive animation kicking in right now. There's a lot of people finding their voice right now. There's a lot of people popping in on all the different platforms are coming online right now to bypass all the sensors and filters and control mechanisms, right? If you're finding amazing content on whatever platform it is, please feel free to share it on our Discord page. If you find it interesting, the odds are other people might find it interesting.  If you share content, me included, if I share content where there's serious gaps and holes in that content being shared and people come up and say, hey, Chichu, are you out of your mind?  Because that takes time out of people. So consider yourself your first sort of, anyway, consider yourself someone that wants to share your perspective of the world, not someone else's perspective of the world, right? Disruptive innovation is the name of the game. Always be making 100%. It's so powerful right now and it's coming on hard and everybody, if you guys are not online, if you're not participating in this disruptive innovation that is coming online right now, you're missing out.  Okay, matcha again. Barbecue, no, I don't know them. Praxian Knight. Hello, Chichu, thanks for the streaming. New virus discussion win. In the next set of videos, Knight, what we're gonna do is we're not gonna look at the data anymore. We've got enough data to take that data to create a handful of questions that we're gonna create for a statistics module that we're gonna create for mathematics. So I'm satisfied with the data we have and we can't really rely on the data to, anyway, we won't get into it right now, but the next discussion we have is gonna be more geared towards all the theories behind what's happening, okay? And it will be in the next set of videos I announce. Okay, so expect at least one, possibly two in the next two weeks, within the next two weeks, probably next week, okay, we'll see. For the last few days, the new cases are backed on the rise and wanted to know your thoughts. Could be second waves coming in, if it's on that front. Perhaps they're different testing, whatever it is. We can talk about it then. Another late night stream. Chichu, okay, I'm gonna scroll down. Okay, I'm all the way down to the bottom gang. Okay, sleepy ways. I think it's crazy that people making content on YouTube, such as yourself, barely make anything off YouTube, nuts. Sleepy waves. This goes into labor, labor thing, right? I agree with you, which is one reason all content creators should be decentralizing without a doubt, right? The man, the legend, Smith, hey, this area looks a little less groovy than last night. Funny. Martin, hilarious, you're quick. Technique. Chichu, what online teach do you think is the most disruptive right now? What online tech, content creators? Tech, Nick, 111? Everyone's talking about, like seriously, right now it's distraction to people, right? By the way, gang, thank you for the follows. Thank you for the subs if I've missed any, because I'm going off on ramps. You've caught me at a time where we just had a six and a half hour DJ set live streaming we were hosting on our channel. So very excited, rejuvenated and stuff like this. And I highly recommend you include some kind of routine where you're physically moving and consuming on an extended level, brilliant art, whatever it might be, brilliant creative content, whatever it might be for an extended period of time, maybe doing a marathon on an animated series, maybe doing a six and a half hour or an 18 hour DJ music festival, right? Doesn't make a difference, right? Which comes into answering the question here, which was, as Tech, Nick stated, what online tech do you think is the most disruptive right now? I think the online tech, I think the most disruptive innovation right now is content creators, literally is content creators, because we're going through the phase right now where things came out in the 1990s, the dream was there, the dream was there, the money was coming in, the money was coming in, the Federal Reserve and the, people talk about, I'm talking about the tech bubble by the way in 2000, right? Everything was hunky-dory, hunky-dory, hunky-dory and then the Federal Reserve with Greenspan came out and said irrational exuberance, look up irrational exuberance because people that were following the technology that had a certain amount of math background that realized what was coming in, right? Computer science, mathematics, CS, electrical engineering, you could see what was coming, right? It was a huge technology, right? Wow, it's gonna open things up, open things up. Money flowed mad, right? Federal Reserve came in, raised interest rates, I believe eight times in, sometimes by two basis points in a matter of eight months, less than a year they raised interest rates eight times. Someone can look that up and share it with the chat, right? They went buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh buh. All of a sudden interest rates went up and everybody was leveraged to the tilt, right? Or to the hilt, I don't know what the saying is, right? And all of a sudden the big companies such as Nortile Networks, we had multiple other companies, tech companies, since the question is tech, tech companies all leveraged, right? Borrowed money, cheap money to build infrastructure. Their rates went up, everything collapsed domino effect, boom, right? And then there was a period of complete consolidation, right? A lot of people don't appreciate that after the 2000 and 2000 tech bubble blew, right? It was popped. I believe five or seven years afterwards, 50% of the tech companies that were active during that period were still active, right? So everything didn't go down 90% or 95% as the stock market show, 50% of those companies were still active. But there's a serious wave of consolidation happening where Amazon, eBay, PayPal got bought off by eBay. There was mergers and acquisitions, right? So all of a sudden the big boys started gobbling things up, which is what's happening right now, right? Big boys are gonna start gobbling things up, but a lot of it on the consumer front, right? So what happened with the tech because the question is specifically tech related, right? There was a serious consolidation of power, right? Mergers and acquisitions, money being, blah, blah, blah, readjustment, readjustment, and a whole bunch of monopolies were created. We're in the beginning stages of monopolies being losing a fair bit of their power with BitShoot and all of these other platforms coming online, right? So now that all these different types of platforms are coming online, what are they fighting over, right? The question is what are they fighting over? They're fighting over eyes, right? They're fighting over subscribers, clients, people that will go to their platform, right? Because they need the traffic. What is bearing the traffic there? Some people are addicted to certain, you know, there's addiction, there's different technologies that their business model is to get people addicted for them to stay there, right? You know, like casinos, but online casinos. There's even TikTok, even Facebook, there's addiction factors built in there, right? Bah, bah, boo, boo, boo. But the addiction only goes so far. You don't wanna just go after the addicted because the addicted are sick in general, right? They're not, they're in society, they addicted are not long-term reliable customers for you. You want, in general, people who can function in the world, right? So all those people go to different platforms because of content. So content creators right now is the name of the game. And the beauty of that thing is right now, it's to a certain degree, it's gone decentralized, right? With individual content creators like myself and millions of other content creators online, may they be on Vimeo, Dailymotion, Bichute, D-Live, all these different video sharing platforms, TikTok, Facebook, Twitch, all these different places, right? So there's tens of millions of individual content creators, but we're also seeing it on the big boys, right? Right now we have Disney Studios live streaming, Apple live streaming, starting to create content, Netflix original content, studios going, Amazon original content, studios going, Hollywood trying to hold on, right? I hope they don't, right? That's complete centralized. We're seeing all of this come out, right? We're seeing second tier groups of creators coming together and creating content. So there's a lot of amazing stuff being done. So I think that's the most disruptive innovation, right? Because that's going to be the driving mechanism for the specific platforms if they're going to do well, right? Like look at Zoom. I consider it to be, I don't like it personally, but I know people that do, right? Like last night when we finished the DJ set, I took pictures, we had three different monitors going, right? One place we had a little corner of the house of the, not house, but the space we have set up for friends, close friends that we see or that we don't, some of them are not where we are on Zoom. Just a corner, not showing anything. Sound off, right? Just visual, right? We had Twitch going, right? With the DJ sets. I had the other computer going. I was monitoring in the chat and stuff like this and giving information. That's the disruptive tech, right? And there's people fighting over it. I'm not sure if that's answering your question. I'm going on rants on this one, okay? By the way, just to let you know, I do have a video that I'm going to shoot, that I'm going to create to address some of the things that we're talking about here, but it's linked up with the Ace of Art mathematics, so I rather not go into it until I have it flowing the proper way. I'm missing so much. What kind of content creators? Donate, donate every type of content creator. Every type of content creator. Music, video, text, articles, meditation, education. Education, huge, obviously. And it doesn't mean you have to be in one, right? Like for example, I'm in the education market. I'm in the information market, right? Just education in general, right? Sorry, mathematics market, teaching math, education in general, food, this, that, that. Like if you look at the content that I'm creating, Donate, people told me when I started blogging in 2005, focus on one thing, Chitra, focus on one thing, just do that, right? If I had focused on that one thing, I wouldn't have gone into creating math videos, right? If I focused on that one thing, I would have kept on writing political economic articles and at the time, my articles were hidden the front page of Dague and Reddit and Stumble, Stump, oh, I forget some of the other platforms. Front page, right? But I didn't want just to be that because everything was linked up, right? If I had stayed with that, then I wouldn't be here right now doing this, which I think is brilliant. So I don't think it's any specific type of content. I think we all have to be polymath right now. We need to decentralize. Like when I say decentralize, I've been saying decentralize for a number of years right now, right? But it's not just decentralize from the different platform.  Not a pipeline that feeds into a Wall Street corporation that says, convinces people that this is their existence, chase the carrot. The existence is to accumulate fiat currency, to accumulate property, to accumulate only this, only this, only this. We are not just one thing. We are multiple things. And that is what is required right now, okay? I'm scrolling down again. If there's anything directed towards me, please let me know and I'll read it. Absurdicon, I absolutely agree. I have a friend who is insanely addicted to TikTok and is sickening. I love that platform. It sees attention seeking individuals. Yeah, Absurdicon. And people are addicted on multiple things. Human beings, we have addictive tendencies. I don't care who you are. Everybody is addicted to something in their lives. If you're lucky enough that you have never encountered your addiction, like really, you've never encountered an addiction. You are blessed to a certain degree, right? Because your addiction is out there, right? If you look hard enough, you'll find something you're addicted to. And addiction is different than passion, right? Addiction is a passion turns into an addiction. If you sacrifice everything else in your life for that passion, then it's an addiction, right? May it be your health, your finances, your family, your loved ones, whatever it might be, right? So, and there's corporations that are feeding on that addiction, right? But their user base, in the end, dies, dies sooner than the ones that don't have addictions. Addiction kills, period, right? Seriously, right? Addiction introduces major stress into people's lives. And one of the main causes of ill health is stress, period.  Find an ASMR content creator, really. Find an ASMR content creator that, or five that really resonate with you, that calm things down. I'm pretty sure I'm not really talking calm right now because we're talking on a subject which is extremely important, right? But find five ASMR content creators and include at least an hour, two hours of the content into your life, or 10 if you're like multiple things, right? Mods, thank you for taking care of business. Coolio, oh my God, yes. That focus on one thing, advice is terrible, terrible, terrible. And you should have seen the number of people of Coolio that were telling me to do that in the early two. Focus on one thing. I'm like, dude, it's not going there, right? For some reason, I could see it going beyond that one thing, right? Maybe the one thing would have been, would have brought on a lot of material wealth, but that's not my goal. My goal was not the material wealth. My goal is something else, right? I've mentioned a few times in the past, I haven't yet in the stream, okay? I have hinted towards improving society and stuff like this and making life better for all of us. And that's basically a selfish mechanism for me because I want to live in a better world, right? That's my goal really, right? I want to live in a better world. I'm doing whatever I can to make that realize, right? Focus on one thing. I don't want life to be that one thing. That becomes an addiction. I don't want that addiction, right? I want multiple things in my life, multiple addictions in my life, which become really just passions because I jump from one to one, right? Extremism and moderation. It stifles creativity and free thinking. I was told that about so much growing up and now I have trouble finishing things I started. The kicker to finishing things is start 10 things, make sure you're getting done, done, right? Done, oh, nice. Filled up three spaces. Whoop, introduce three more. Oh, done, nice, nice. Oh, done. Maybe this guy and this guy are related. When this gets done, this gets done, nice. Oh, wait, this? This got done, this got done? Nice, right on, right? Sleepy Waves, will you ever make another video talking about, yeah, for sure, Sleepy Waves. I feel like I wish a platform existed like this for musicians. I tend to have a good year for upcoming artists. Wish there was something where I could invest in. Sleepy Waves, do research. I would have to do the same thing. I don't know. For me to talk about ICOs again, right? Initial coin offerings, cryptocurrencies, right? I would have to do the research because it's not something I'm actively seeking, right? Thank you very much for the cheers, gang. I'm scrolling down, gang. What are your thoughts on, dude? I'm not going to get into, here, I'm going to do this. Watch this. We've got a command here, politics. I know this is sort of politics related, but it's not. So politics, please keep politics and other heavy subjects to their respective streams, not to self-promote. But truthfully, I work on eight projects simultaneously. That's what we do in streams. Yeah, always be making. I'm 100% would always be making on this, right? Fun, fun stuff. I'm all the way down to the bottom of the stream, gang. Bottom of the chat, gang. Do you use cold storage for your coins or do you keep out in the wild? What wallet is your choice? Smith, I can't answer that question. The key, stay focused on what cryptocurrencies are. Cryptocurrencies, right? It's supposed to provide anonymity, right? So what cold storage? Cold storage is basically not online, not out of wallets anywhere and stuff like this. I recommend if you're in cryptocurrencies to have distribute your cryptocurrencies over multiple different ways of storing and maintaining and trading, right? That's what I would recommend because if one goes down, you still have 75% of your holdings left. Hello, Chicho. Good afternoon, good afternoon, Lark. How are you doing Chicho and Gemini? It will always be in your nature to do multiple things. Yeah, oh boy. Yeah, by the way, thank you Sleepy Ways for reminding me.  Some people need to focus on one thing and do that one thing for a long time, right? So this is an open discussion, right? If you take anything we say to heart that it doesn't work for you, then, you know, that's unfortunate. I hope something else does, right? Oh boy, don't get me started on astrology, Julio. Alex, how are you doing? Hey, Chicho, what do you think is the best ethical way? A lot of immoral ways we can be improving our financial position during this crisis. Are you talking about taking money and investing it somewhere? Or are you talking about focusing your own energy to create something? There are so many, like there's so much. I don't, like if you're talking about companies on Wall Street, I mentioned this before. I have, I would be looking into cannabis stocks, right? But I would not, like if, for example, if Bear created a cannabis industry branch off from there, I would never invest in them, right? So again, even each industry has things that you need to look into directly, right? It's so vast, so vast. Thank you, Chicho. I'm doing great. Awesome, Lark. Oh, by the way, I just bought a book on Amazon about how to make liqueurs and infuse spares because your liqueur-tasting stream sparked my nice Utah Jazz. Awesome. Have you started making any? I sampled my liqueur cabinet well last night. It was a good liqueur night. I've stopped conversations before because someone has come up and told me how that's such a insert star sign here. I think to do I know. It's fun to play with, by the way, Kulio. It's fun to have fun with astrology, right? They're just imagining, discussing. It's an icebreaker and stuff, right? It's fun. Mask of Raven. How are you doing? Disruptive innovation. Create. It's not about money. It's on ACP. Living hope. Hannah, how are you doing? Thank you for the follow, Dodgy. Dodgy move. Not yet. I'm still waiting for the book to show up, okay? We got the video. Just make one batch here. Utah Jazz, you got to try this. I hope you made at least one batch of liqueur from the way we do it. And then keep that for a month, until when your book arrives, make one of theirs and then sample, see which one's better, whose recipe's better. I went into the forest and smoked medical cannabis. Three sativa joints. It was amazing and I'm still, three? Hannah, that's a lot. That's a Virgo. I'm skeptical of astrology. Leo here. Yeah, I have no problem with that. It's when people take it seriously, 100% through Leo.  I'm a chess twitch player, but I love ASMR and I saw your channel and fall in love with it. Nice, dodgy move. Also, so you play chess online, live, fun. Everyone familiar with privacy tools? Smith, many decentralized privacy-centric tools and thoughts. I don't know it. Welcome, my Virgo brother. I'm actually a different sign, depending on who you ask, haha, cool Leo. Oh yeah, some people have different signs and numerology is fun too. What is a financial burden from supporting those plants behind you? Financial burden, zero, water, time, but I love the plants. So it's not a burden. It's I spent time with the plants. The plants behind win, win, win, win, win, win. Ah, you're an equinox, nice. Gicho, your voice is amazing. Thanks, Anna. After three of what you did, almost anything could be amazing. Yes, five minute chess, three minute chess, wow. Online, cool. I'll check you out, I love chess, Spider-Man says. I tried to stay up till the end of the DJ stream, but I had a bit too much to drink and fell asleep for two hours. Woke up to the last DJ playing, but was too exhausted to continue watching. I went to bed, enjoyed myself, not awesome thing, Robert. Yeah, pacing is key, right? Pacing is key. It was fantastic. It was really fun. It was really fun. Win the chess mastery. I haven't been playing chess forever, man. I do every now and then with cousins just one round. If I'm lucky, I win. I thought people were falling asleep. Yeah, some people passed out. For sure, they would have to. Thank you for the cheers. That's almost as much winning as Charlie Sheen. I sometimes feel like YouTube is like a mini government in its own way, yeah, for sure. Like I've noticed that YouTube acts a lot like a government. The channels are like companies and the viewers are the consumers, yeah, 100%. All right? And it's being decentralized. Like there's more people going to other platforms to share content. Not rightfully so, right? Hello, did you play in Samsung ad? No, I was very similar to someone there. No, I don't think so. I'm also an EST, yeah, three hours ahead. So it was super late by my end, yeah. I've talked to the people when we mentioned, or one person anyway, that if we do another DJ set like that, probably do it started during the day, like maybe 12 o'clock, 11 o'clock in the morning and do longer set, who knows, we see, right? And when it comes to work, like, gang, that was a lot of work. There was like what we did last night, took a lot of work. There was a lot of time and energy in it, right? There was a lot of people with a lot of experience, years of experience, either being online or playing music, creating content, all that stuff together. If you took that six and a half hours worth of DJ streaming that happened last night and people, you guys, like the amount of work that took to bring that together was a lot, but it didn't feel like work because to a certain degree, I mean, it was work, but it wasn't something that wasn't enjoyable, right? It was a lot of work to put together something that a lot of people enjoy, put out a lot of amazing great vibes, right? And the rewards are not something that you could measure based on Wall Street currency to a certain degree, other than Amazon with the streaming, right? I don't know, I'm not articulating myself well enough. This is part of the math video I wanna do, so I don't wanna go too intricate in it, right? What are you discussing with respect to personal finance? Harry Canary, we talked about work, the way you should approach the world right now. Personal finance is, like we said, personal, so we're going a little bit macro right now, right? We're not focusing on the micro when it just comes to bank account. We're going macro, it's about lifestyle, right? Advice if, lark, advice if you wanted to start a channel with content, even though I'm not well equipped with a mic and et cetera. The mic and stuff is a certain amount of expense. Sure, I had to get a higher end computer, laptop computer so I could move around the cameras and the stuff, so you need a few thousand bucks to drop into the hardware, right? You need to put time in. Time is the crucial one, it's gonna take you a while to figure out the platforms and stuff like this, right? I would say if you wanna be creating content online, learn how to create whatever content it is you wanna create online, right?  So your first sort of business is not to figure out what the information is, what the content is you're trying to share, first information is learn the platforms, right? You can go, oh, Eureka, I wanna do this. Your inspiration is there, but you haven't learned the platforms to be able to do it yet? Your inspiration is gonna be there only for a short period of time. Like really, I've taken notes, I've been inspired to create certain types of content which would be amazing, literally amazing, right? In my mind, they're amazing. The stuff, some of the stuff you see in my mind is amazing. It comes out that way sometimes when I create it, sometimes it doesn't, right? But a certain percentage does, but I've never had, you know, I haven't had time to do all of them, right? Why? Because there's other things I needed to do and the inspiration goes away. So your first sort of business, Lark, personal advice, personal finance advice, right? If you wanna start creating content, learn the different tech that you need to learn to be able to share that information as soon as it comes to you, right? So if you need to put money into it, put money into it. If you need to put time into it, put time into it. Worst case scenario, you just improved your resume. You know how to live stream on Twitch. You know how to mod a chat. You know how to edit video. You know how to sample music. You know how to write. Wow. You know how to interact online on the different platforms. There's a lot of things that you have to accumulate to be able to share, right? There's a lot of brilliant people. Like honestly, straight up, I've mentioned this before. There's a lot of geniuses, savants, intelligent people beyond maybe anyone you've ever encountered with homeless on the streets because they're brilliant but they didn't have the education, the knowledge, the patience, the time, the finances to be able to learn how to communicate their wisdom, right? So they got lost in their own loop and they attached on to a certain type of addiction and they went this way. There's a lot that we're there through trauma, of course, right? I'm gonna scroll down, gang. Will the prices of used cars go down during this economy? I don't know, Hannah. I have my own opinion. I could go both ways, right? Like if the supply chain is cut in a big way, and it is, right? And if the conflicts, trade conflicts, and there is, there's a lot of politics of economics going on that we can get into tomorrow, if a certain types of products are harder to get your hands on, yeah, then prices will go up, right? If they're gonna be more easily available, then the prices are gonna go down. You have to look into each one, right? Do I have a math degree? I got a geophysics degree and a math minor. And I worked as a geophysicist for like a decade. Rabbit isn't afraid to ask the big questions. Rabbit, rabbit. Where's rabbit? Is there a rabbit question? If there's anything being directly towards me, gang, please let me know. I'm scrolling down, gang, just to stay up to chat. And mods, thank you for taking care of business. Thank you for being here. By the way, thank you for the subs. Thank you for the follows. Thank you for the discussion. Thank you for the questions, right? I'm not sure if I'm being hard, fast, slow. I'm answering questions directly, but this is the speed that I'm at right now. Drinking my matcha. Coming off, yesterday's thing was fantastic. Yesterday I was up at around 4.30 in the morning, right? Doing certain things. I released a video. I was doing some little bit of editing stuff. Got things ready. Set up the whole thing. We changed things up from the sound check and went till, I don't know, one o'clock in the morning, right? That's rejuvenating, right? Kulio, did you see my last two comments? Interested in your take? Oh, I didn't see it. Let's check it out. Kulio, Kulio, Kulio. Do you think too many people are resistant to change to be able to get the economy as a whole to adapt to the new redefined world class? Will it be an, quote, adapt or die type of work environment? It's gonna be an adapt or die in large part for a lot of people, unfortunately. And a lot of people, it's not, some people for sure, they're stuck in their own bubble. They've been stuck there too long and it's very difficult to break them through the bubble. What I tell my students and friends as well is in large part, I like, I really, I cherish my interaction with my students because they have the ability, the less indoctrination you've had in your life, the less of this constraining, there's so many words you can use, but the less of this constraining economic, political system existence you've had in your life, the more open you are to the possibilities of the world, right? So it is much more difficult to break, to challenge people's dogmas as they get older, right? So when they're younger, that's why advertisers, Disney, all these people, they don't gear their advertisements towards 15, 16 year olds. They gear their advertisements towards five, six, seven, eight year old, right? Because they wanna capture them then because that's the easiest time to capture them, right? Because when people are 20, late teens, 20, 30, 40, 56, the older they get is in general, by the way, there's a lot of people that do, are aware of the reality shift taking place, right? But it's very much, it's very difficult to break them out of that, right? So it takes a lot more energy to do it. So, you know, long wind story, it's a combination, but there are people that are gonna be, it's a do or die, right? And some people have, they have too much invested in this current political economic system, right? Like just imagine people who have worked their lives for let's say 20 years, 15 years, 10 years. Let's say within five years, people start being really committed to this economic system if they've done the following. If they've taken their work at a corporation, they've taken a certain amount of their paycheck and they put it into RSV and they've attached their wealth, their future, their health to Wall Street. After about five years, you see the shift, right? No, no, everything's good, everything's good, why? Because on paper, they're seeing their wealth go up a little bit. On paper, they're not seeing their wealth in other aspects of their lives just completely being destroyed, right? They just, you know, they see a number they get at the end of the month, at the end of the year, every quarter, right? They see a number, oh, that number is increasing, right? Wow, great, great. But they don't realize that, oh, health care costs is increasing, food prices are increasing, quality of food is going down, water supply is being contaminated, right? Oh, wow, they're not covered as much together. You know, a little bit of insurance, but the insurance that they're taking off this is not as much as they're gaining here, right? So people start becoming invested 10 years later, they're invested 15, boom. They're invested in the system. And I try to convince them that what they, what their investment is, is worthless in the real scheme of things, right? It's difficult, difficult. I have no idea if I answered that clearly or not. That just went off. That makes much more sense. I had uploaded three videos on YouTube, not too long ago, da, da, da, da, da, da. Okay, I'm going down. Gicho, always been making. How you doing? So can we brainstorm a bit about the end game? I don't think there is an end game. It's everyone's perspective always been making, right? I keep a vision board. Okay, cool, that's good, for sure. One of the things I can recommend, I'll always be making, I'm hijacking your comment, right? Check this out. One of the greatest thing you can do in your life, if you try to, if you've reached a point in your life where you're like, I need to. There's ideas in your mind just going, the possibilities. You've reached a point in your life where all these possibilities are coming and going now. You're not saying bad, bad, bad, bad.  You're in the phase in your life where you're saying, oh, what can I do with that? Oh, this, what does this mean? Oh, strength theory, what? Oh, what? Livestreaming, what? Educating online, what?  What does that mean? What's finance? Create, have a wall at your house, right? Create a nice-sized wall at your house, right? Everybody's seen this when you watch police movies and detective movies and drama movies, right? If there's any police scene, right? Or any heist scene. They have a board and they have all these papers, everything on there, right? So create a board like this, big, depending on the ideas in your head, make sure you got this scalable, you got room to grow. And if an idea comes to your mind, have pen and paper with you always, write down pen and paper and put it on the board somewhere and slowly start arranging your ideas visually on your board, right? Oh, this over here and this over here and this over here. Oh, they're talking about the same thing. Put them together in one area, right? Shuffle it, it's a puzzle. Slowly you'll see ideas start to form in their complete form really, right? You're gonna see them, wow, right? That's the way I've created a lot of the math content that I've created online as well as other content that I've created online. I've taken things and I put them on the wall and I've looked at them. What links with what? Companies do this, managers do this. They call them, what do they call them when they have the boxes and the bubbles, the charts, the pointing systems, any program. If you wanna create something, acquire the tools that you need to be able to create something, right? Okay, that's enough hijacking. I wanna read your comment again, always be making. So can we brainstorm a bit about the end game? I keep a vision board of eight goals which I use to remind myself of the things that are important and things I'm working towards. What are you working towards? Do you know when you will be done? Do you want to be done? Okay, my end game is to have an amazing life, right? My end game is really, have you guys seen Samurai Champloo, right? Samurai Champloo and Keboy Bebop. They have one theme in common, multiple themes in common, same types of creators, same with Space Dandy, right? There's a theme in common in specifically the creators that creates Samurai Champloo, Keboy Bebop and Space Dandy, right? But in Samurai Champloo, oh man, I forget their names. The one that's feisty like a rooster, right? All over the place, right? Not the fish, not the gene spike, not spike, spike is Keboy Bebop.  Hopefully someone will give me the name. Samurai Champloo, he's fighting, he's like chaos, right? He grew up on an island, orphan, grew up, fantastic, right? And he's one of the main characters, right? And he's going through the, I'm gonna give you spoilers, right? There's one episode where he gets into this battle and he almost dies, right? He's dying, you think he's dead and he goes into the afterlife and he's experiencing it and he goes, is this it? Sweet, right? If you can say that before you take your last breath, that's the end game, that's what you want, right? Now, everything else you do in the middle, what are you working towards? If we're working towards the end game, that's the end game, that's what I'm working towards. Do you know when you will be done?  Do you want to be done? Not really, I don't want to be done, man. I want to keep it going, it's a pretty sweet ride, right? So I'm being very hyperbolic right now, always be making. I'm doing, right now what I'm doing is doing the things that I need to do, I want to do to get the information that I want to get across, right? That's related really to my about page, sharing as much information as possible, in a holistic sense, making the world as best as I can, right? So that'll be better, so I'll have a better life, right? So it's a very selfish reason as far as I'm concerned. I got the head out for now. Have an amazing stream, Chichou. Thank you, Spider-Man and Chat, take care, take care of everyone, or take care of Spider-Man. Ding Bobber, Chichou, do you think TV and nowadays internet indoctrination with at the same, with at the same time user tracking on devices, tracking where people go, what they consume, et cetera, and applying advertisements towards them based on that, which is only going to get more sophisticated over time, going to lead to children being manipulated on a grand scale to the benefit of corporations, governments, et cetera. Ding Bobber, without us making sure that children are not used and abused and indoctrinated and taken advantage of, for sure. The adults in the room, us, have to make sure that we prevent data mining of manipulation of society by multinational corporations. Best way we can do that is to make sure we eliminate censorship, right? As soon as the censorship comes about, they'll do it in the name of protecting the children, but they're not really protecting the children, they're protecting their assets from breaking through the bubble, right? That's what they're protecting. It's as simple as that. And for sure, those centralized institutions are gonna try to control and manipulate everyone. They've been trying to do that forever, right? Have they succeeded? I see more diverse thoughts and opinions, theories, it's the Streisand effect. They're trying to suppress people, people are saying, no, right? Laura, great advice. I hope so, I don't know which one it was. I think I've been at the point in a permanent spot for about five years now, Kulio. I've gone through those periods, Kulio. And Kulio, I think you're in early 20s, right? Or late teens.  Don't be in a rush, but accumulate, I'm 25. Okay, 25, 20s are a whack-hole, man. Right now, Kulio, acquire tools. Just make sure you're learning constantly. Don't get stuck in a rut where you're not learning. I don't care what it is. Like, really, sounds like you love music. Highly, like I haven't done it myself, really. I haven't done it myself. I need to do it, right? Because I need to get on SoundCloud. And one of the reasons I want to start going on SoundCloud is because I want to learn audio editing, I want to optimize that, right? I'll be hitting you guys up at Discord to give me advice on how to do this stuff, right? But start acquiring tools that you're gonna need. Think about what's coming down the road, right? I think, personally, Kulio, I think you're doing fantastic, man, really. You know more at 25 than I did. I thought I did, but I didn't know. I didn't know. Always been making, I wouldn't put ideas out there if I didn't want people to have them. Part of being, yeah, for sure. But it's not, we have to make sure that it's not our ideas that are implanted on students, right? We want to make, pave the way for people, and we should all be doing this, to find their own path, right? So that means really not protecting them from bombardment from other places, but to empowering them, giving them the ability to analyze the information coming in. Hence, from my part, mathematics, right? Enjoy the conversation. Good night, good night, Connor. I'm glad you enjoyed the conversation, man. Sweet dreams. I strongly don't miss my 20s. Yeah, 20s, man. 20s is nasty. Fun, it could be fun, but people go through a lot of turmoil, man. I saw a lot of people being destroyed in their 20s. Experiential learning is the name of the game, in my opinion, cool. I like to think I can help if you want it. Okay, thank you very much for always making. Again, it took a lot of effort, a lot of work. I barely did anything last night's stream, right? I made sure I did the posts and all this jazz, I made sure I learned what I was supposed to do and we did a sound test. So I put a few hours in, right? And the DJs were doing, like the DJ sets that you saw, like my partner set, two-hour set, and the other DJs, hour and a half set or two-hour set doesn't make a difference. It takes multiple hours to put those sets together. So there's a lot of hours being put in to bring that content to everyone, right? So collaboration takes a fair bit of energy. That's for sure.  And we should never be in a rush to do. I just want to be well-equipped for life and get the most out of it and help as many people as I can while I'm here. But every time I think I get a handle on things, some crazy curveball happens, the biggest of which is now a global pandemic.  Tell them your plans. Tell him your plans. Tell her your plans. Tell it your plans, right? I always said in the past, if you wanna make God laugh, tell him your plans, right? Ha, ha, ha. That's what he thinks is gonna happen. That's what she thinks is gonna happen. Really? Man, it's not gonna happen. So all you gotta appreciate is, no matter how bad you think things are, they could always get worse. No matter how good you think things are, they could always get better. Just enjoy where you are, right? And have the possibilities open. Any help, advice, and always appreciate it. So thank you. Awesome. Yeah, for sure regarding always be making. You think the coronavirus was planted We're gonna talk about coronavirus smoking. Not sure. Because that's more politics related, it's not related to personal finance. It has brought about things that we have to really analyze now regarding our personal finance. There are hundreds of millions of people going through that right now, if not billions, right? But we're gonna talk about that in the next set of videos. And we're gonna, we can talk about that tomorrow when we're talking about current events. Okay, I hope that's okay. I listened to her set again this afternoon. Awesome, Smith. Awesome. It was a good set. It was a fantastic set. I've been hearing her put it together for the last couple of weeks. Some of the music that was shelled was also amazing, oh my God. She went through 300 tracks to put that two hour set together, which is really, I forget how many tracks it is, right? At 300 sets out of probably, I don't know how many she went through, right? 300 sets that she had put in a folder going through trying to put that together. A lot of work went into that. Chihá. How are you doing? T'chihá. How are you doing? Itan t'chihá. I have a creative, neurotic brain, yet I want to pursue career in mathematics. Although I enjoy math, I notice I cannot focus as long as my math's mathematical, as much as long as my mathematical peers. Should I make adjustments to my career path? If this is your passion, I would say, continue it, mathematics in general can only open doors for you, right? But also acquire some of the tools as a safety net, right? So don't put all your eggs in one basket in mathematics. Maybe you'll get tired of it at one point, right? Make sure you know how to use some of the mathematics you're learning in other disciplines, right? Maybe instead of focusing on one aspect of the mathematics, you need to focus on multiple. So I wouldn't, you know, it depends where you are in your education as well, right? If you're like Chihá, are you university? I don't know where you are, right? But if, like seriously, don't just go down one pipe. You can if you want. I'm not saying don't, like, as in never do it or anything like this. But I would recommend just to be more anti-fragile, right? Make sure that links up with one, two, three other things, right?  I mean, there's nothing wrong with, you love mathematics, stay there. But I'm pretty sure you have other loves as well. See how mathematics relates to those things, right? Music, mathematics, right? Stock markets, mathematics, trading, cryptocurrency, technology, mathematics, right? Layer it. I like to think God has a very dark sense of humor, yeah? Or no humor at all. I mostly enjoyed my 30s. 30s is interesting. I just turned 28, but I'm in a period of profound growth always be making sense. I'm going to try to keep it riding for as long as I can because I love the feeling, yeah, I'll always be making this amazing. Steppy waves. I tend to only focus on things like writing, piano, et cetera, for small 50 minute intervals. Do you think that's okay? Sure, why not? I've also heard that long hour sessions can be super valuable. For sure, I do both sleepy waves. Sometimes, you know, I got a lot of things going. I spent five minutes, 10 minutes here, 15 minutes here, 40 minutes here, 15. To do this, and then sometimes I go two, three, four, two weeks, days, weeks, months on one thing, right? Extremism and moderation. Coolio, my opinions tend to not be respected as much because I'm 25, yeah. If I was 35, they would be taken more seriously. I get the idea behind that. It's still very frustrating. Yeah, Coolio, I encountered the same thing. For sure, especially in workforce. Pfft, man. If established industries do not pay much respect to, youth coming up, it's their mistake. Chiha, how good were you with your personal finances in your early 20s? And what are your main top tips for a 19 year old going into his 20s next month? Was I personally personal finance? No, man. My understanding of finance was garbage, but like I went into huge debt when I was in my 20s. Like really gigantic. I went to a huge debt forming a comic book company, comic book publishing company, trying to put out independent comic books during the time when there was distributors wars going on in the early 1990s in the comic book industry, the distributor wars, there's publisher wars, there's bubble being formed. It was insane, right? So my personal finances in my 20s are horrendous, right? I'd go to clubs and live it up, right? I live large, I live small, I've done all of it, right? Really. So in my 20s, no. My main advice to a 19 year old, really, it's more life choices, it's not money choices, right? Because what you want to get out of your, here, my first advice to those going into your 20s, make sure your 20s don't take you out of the game. Do you have any idea how many people bite the dust in their 20s? May it be through health, may it be through life, may it be through, they get married when they're 19. I mean, I knew people that got married when they're 19. My mouth would drop, they're married when you're 19.  In some places in the world that might be legit, right? That is the life they live, right? So I'm not talking about everywhere, but I can honestly tell you, if you're living in Canada and the United States and you're getting married when you're 19, that is the biggest financial mistake you've ever done in your life, right? So, and again, take it with a grain of salt. You might be living and in love with the love of your life and no one else, no one will ever make you happy again. And don't call it off and come back to Chicho 10 years later, 20 years later, five years later, Chicho, you told me to do this and my life is miserable. No, but don't make any major commitments that lock you up for multiple years. The 20s are a hurricane. Make sure you're mobile. You can bend, you don't break, okay? That's my advice. If to you that means putting money in some kind of investment that gives you a certain amount of dividends so you have a lot of money when you're 30s, sure, but really appreciate that that money that you're putting away every month might have been taking away from experiences that you could have had in your 20s that you cannot have in your 30s or 40s or 50s or 60s anymore, right? Life experience counts more than fiat currency. And keep this in mind as well, Chihá, you're gonna come across people that wanna see the world burn as has been said in multiple books and poems and music and movies and stuff like this, right? Be weary that, you know, really appreciate what it means that good things happen to bad people. Coolio, read the book, Atomic Habits. I benefit greatly from it. And it sounds like you would as well. Chchchchchch, I scroll down a little bit, gang. Ah, you touch house. Catholic traditionals, I know many, many people that married young, including many relatives, for the most part, they are living joyfully and abundantly even if they are not materially wealthy, okay, Catholic traditionals, there is the contradictory thing, right? So don't take my word for it because there's many people as Catholic traditionals says that are living amazing lives, right? Catholic tradition is how old are they now? And that matters as well. Okay, if they married when they were 19 and they're 30, sure. If they married when they're 19 and they're 40 still together, 50 still together, that's pretty good. It very much depends upon how you choose to find fulfillment, 100%, right? 100%. So if you wanna have kids when you're young, a lot of people say have kids when you're young because you won't want, you know, you won't be ready or willing or whatever to take on that responsibility as you get older. I never really understood that, right? They was like, have kids when you're young, cheese, have kids when you're young, right? And it was a period. I was like, yeah, I won't have a lot of kids. Now that I'm older, what would have been out of my mind, right? And right now, no, no, no, no, no, right? But back then, yes, yes, yes. So it depends what phase you are in your life, right?  I have also read Atomic Habits. It also pushed me into a very positive direction. Awesome. Sounds like a good book. Ding Bobber, could you please read my message? It's just up a chat a bit, serious question. Okay, Ding Bobber, let me go up there, let me check it out, check it out, check it out, check it out, where is it?  Can you post it again? I can't find it. Oh, there it is, chichou. Do you, oh, I didn't read the whole thing, did I? Okay, I gotta read it, man. Do you think TV and nowadays internet indoctrination with at the same time, user tracking on devices, tracking, I read this part of it and I went off on a tangent, I think. Tracking where people go, what they consume, et cetera, and applying advertisements towards them based on that, which is only going to get more sophisticated over time, going to lead to children being, no, I read this whole thing. What else did you say, brother? You gotta post it again, man. Not that one, not that one, you gotta post it again. Yeah, we should say, if you want me to read something that you posted that I missed, just post it again and tell me. And if I skip it again, post it again, just let me know. Okay, having kids when you are older will make the kids mature much faster than if you had them when you were younger. Yeah, it starts with, I'm going to be honest, ding-bobber, can you post it again, please? I scrolled and I didn't see it. Cause like I saw a fair bit of chat. Would that be cool, man? That would be awesome. I just searched the book, you all.  Some of that stuff is just because it's self-improvement mice, it doesn't mean it's bad. Some of it might be BS, there's a lot of self-improvement stuff that is BS, right? But it doesn't have to be. And it doesn't hurt reading stuff, it's okay. Don't know, don't know, right now what happened? I'm waiting for ding-bobber's comments. Save me a scroll, I can take a sip. Oh yeah, I have walnuts and almonds. This is my walnuts and almonds, I showed you guys the other stream, I guess. This is how much I got. I haven't been eating too much of it. Well, some of it. And I've been eating other, I've been cooking with it, too. Are you better? Gicho, are you better parent if you're older, when you have kids, or if you're younger in there? It's different, I don't think age has to do with it. I think it's how you treat the other individual. I think it's your mindset. I've never read a self-improving book. I recommend reading. Have you read the book, Ordinary Man? No. I liked, yeah. And other people that, I've had this question asking me, self-improvement books. I've never really read a self-improvement book. The closest would be C.S. Lewis, but that's more philosophy. Yeah, it's good, peanuts and walnuts. Amazing, power food, so good, highly recommend. In terms of personal finance, what do you have in place to secure your future? I appreciate it as personal. I try to stay healthy. I've built amazing connections. My family, I've built connections with. If you're asking me if I have a ton of money in the bank, nope, don't plan on it. If I have money in the bank, I take that money and invest it in hardware, software, what I need to do to continue the work that I'm doing here in general, right? I'm not accumulating material wealth. I'm accumulating knowledge, experience, tools at my disposal and trying to stay healthy and building great connections, amazing connections with other human beings, because that to me is real value. That to me is security for the future. Everything else is irrelevant, all of it. Everything that the corporate media is selling you to put money in the bank, you can retire at this age and retire at that age, man, they're lying to you. They're lying through their teeth, right? Just ask any of the senior citizens that don't have a family, that don't have people that they can interact with with communities, that no one was willing to make sure that they're taking care of, that ends up in an old folks home that they have to pay $5,000, $6,000, $10,000 a month, right?  What is that? Yeah, waiting for, trying to find, did that come? No, it didn't come through. Nothing's, it's not coming through, then Bobber. I'm not saying your message. Cut it in pieces if it's too long, it won't post. Ordinary men is a book, is not interested. The book on Nazis that I'm reading is Wilhelm Reich's mass psychology fascism, telling me all I need to know, right? And I know a little bit of, not a little bit, fair bit of history of the whole global situation, how things have been, right? Martin, my friend of 32 years finally came to a stream, nice, and was banned after five minutes. He posted a message to get my attention, I was taking, I'm strolling, getting my impressionist back. Who's this? On this stream? Martin, did we kill him? Who killed him? Chicho, do you have a end game? I don't know what the end game is. I wanna have a math curriculum out there to teach high school mathematics. How long is that gonna take me? I don't know, man. Is that my end game? Hell no, as soon as I do that, I got a couple of other things I wanna do, which I'm doing right now, I'm building towards right now. At some point, I love to produce music. I'm not having with you. Nujabaz inspired me to wanna create music, really. And I did have a drum set, right? I love music, I love playing drums, right? Drums was one of my greatest passions, but then I decided to, take that, realize that there was a hobby that I wanted to focus on other things, and that was gonna be a road that wasn't gonna last me too long, right? So I kept that as a passion in my life in regards to music, drumming, producers, and stuff like this, and went into the realm of mathematics and everything else. I as math, thank you for the follow. Good timing on the math part. Sleepy waves, do you have any resources, books, tools, outside of your content for personal finance? Outside of my content for my personal finance, I have to think about that, Sleepy waves, I'm not sure everything is personal finance to me, that's why it's personal, really. I'm currently, oh, ding, Bob, I'm okay, we got it. I'm currently unemployed, but hoping to be employed soon. I'm on disability in Ontario due to mental illness, and I have a government savings account which the government's doubles or triples continue. Okay, okay, I gotta keep that in mind so I can read the rest of it, ding, Bobber.  Die, then tell whoever's on the other side. Okay, it's my turn. Let me create a universe next. Awesome. And by the way, Coolio, watch Space Dandy. Is that what you would say? Watch Space Dandy, I can't give away more than that. I can't give away more than that. Simmers, how are you doing? Welcome, welcome to live stream. Should I depend on it to give me a stable, so ding, Bobber, should I depend on it to give me a stable future? I know I should branch out into many different things like stock, investment, gold, silver. Right now I don't have much money, but when I do, I want to know what to do with advice. Okay, ding, Bobber, here's the thing. So, I'm just gonna go off on a little bit. Off, meaning I'm gonna brainstorm, just give you what I'm thinking right now, right? So take it with a grain of salt, please don't take this to heart. Really, don't do what I say. This is just you asking me, giving me three paragraphs of what your situation is, right? Right now you got money coming in from the government to make sure you can maintain your life, if I understand, right? Maintain your life, buy your food, rent paid for, your expenses taken care of, health care is taken care of, which is really, really important. Education is taken care of to a certain degree, right? You also have the government money coming in where you have a savings account, and that is growing as well.  So you have a certain amount of freedom, first order of business for you, first order of business for you, stabilize mentally, right? Stabilize emotionally, stabilize within your community. Get to be at a place where you can breathe a little bit. You're not under pressure constantly thinking of how much money you're gonna have 30 years from now, 40 years from now to retire. Forget about that noise, and that is noise, right? Take your situation right now, appreciate what's happening. Look around you, realize that a lot of people don't have that time available to them to think. Now that you spent the time thinking, not thinking about what you're gonna retire, you know, 30 years, how much money you're gonna have or anything, thinking about what do you wanna do right now? Is there anything you wanna learn? Is there any type of content you wanna create? What do you wanna do right now that is not going to put in jeopardy your stable living circumstances or the money going into your savings account that is building you a little bit of buffer and it's gonna continuously grow hopefully, right? Because what you're saying is divest from here and go to the stock market because if the stock market goes, this goes. If this goes, the stock market goes. So there are links, so you're not really divesting. You're in the same game, right? Your living situation is stabilized. You got money growing in a system that our current political economic system is functioning under, right? Divest, get online. Where do you wanna be online? Learn the different platforms. Or do you have, like really, I don't know what you love. I don't know what you like. You've been here a while, we've talked a fair bit, but I can't say what you're into, right? Someone just mentioned awesome plants, thanks. Do you like plants? Start taking cuttings, right? If you have a space available to you, start taking cuttings, growing plants. In my neighborhood, in my city, there are people who grow plants in their backyard. They put them outside, right?  And anyone that wants their plants, they go and put money in the box and take the plant away, right? I know this is not possible everywhere, right? There are people who buy used products, refurbish them and sell them. What are you into? Start acquiring skills and get into the economics game of it as well. So acquire the skills and try to flip that over into generating a certain amount of revenue. But don't think about the absolute revenue, think about the percent growth, right? Think about the joy you're getting out of that, right? I'm quite good. Ding-Bobber, what are you good at?  Do you play piano? Do you play drums? Do you produce music? If you produce music electronically, or any, if you make music, you have to have an online presence. Really, you wanna make a living producing music and you're quite good? Dude, then first, if I was you, and again, take this with a grain of salt. Please, please, please, please, please. What I would do may be completely different from what you would do. If I had, like you have, to a certain degree, you have more than me right now, right? My living situation is fairly stable, right? I can, I break even on a monthly basis, right? Even through the pandemic, right? I set myself up, we've talked about this, to make sure I would diversify so I was anti-fragile. I had revenue streams cut, right? But because I was distributed this way, I was able to adjust a little bit, right? Adjust a little bit, right? So I'm breaking even. So my living situation is stable, less stable than you, because this is all me, right? Coming in, right? Your savings that the government has, mine is, boop, none, right? However, I have family, friends, knowledge, this. I know how the systems work and all this trash. So I have a few other things that you do not, I guess, right now. What am I doing? I'm creating content sharing online. What you need to do is, do you have a YouTube account? Create it. Do you have a BitShoot account? Create it. Do you have a SoundCloud account? No, create it. Do you have a mixed, the other account? No, create it. You need to be on two video sharing platforms, two music sharing platforms, and live streaming, right? You need to be sharing your music. You need to get the flow going.  Get the flow going. That'll challenge you. I can taste the grain of salt in my mouth, nice. Good, okay? You wanna create music? Who are you creating music for? You could create the greatest symphony the world would have ever heard. And if you've never shared it with anyone, who cares? You created it for yourself.  If you're good at creating music, create music and share it. This is very inspiring. I was going to make an album this summer. Dude, Ding Bobber, don't think of an album? For sure, album is amazing because the greatest albums ever created are themes, right? They have a theme. They start from the beginning, telling the story all the way through, right? Hip-hop, metal, electronic themes, right? But if you're finding creating a whole album is too much, focus on a song. Get that one song together. Is it the beginning? Is it the middle of the album? Is it the end? Put out little bits of it, maybe. Put out the whole, I'm not a musician. I don't know how it works. Well, I can't say I'm not a musician. I used to play drums, but I don't actively make music right now. At some point, I'd like to. There are subreddits to promote music and to help you mix master. Yeah, fun. How's our timing? Nice. Yeah, you're welcome, Ding Bobber. I hope that helped. Legacy. The Culeos on the Ball. Do you have a favorite album? Mine is The Wall by Pink Floyd is amazing, right? For me, one of the albums that I've gone to over the years again and again, right? New job as I go to, new job as I listen to, but specifically an album that I've gone to since 1980s, Rush is 2112, Rush, 2112. Every now and then, poh, I am cranking that thing. Hard, right? Liberating, every album starts with a great song. I just said, daddy, tch, I know you did. I was like, what? I'm going to try and finally break that barrier when I haven't been online promoting my stuff. Yeah, Ding Bobber, get on there, listen to Lana Del Rey. Well, probably like Lana Del Rey. I think I know, I have. What kind of plant is in the cream container? In this one? In this one? It's a fern. It's fantastic plants. Look at it, it's beautiful, isn't it? Really, so nice, so pretty. Thank you for noticing, all right? They're beautiful.  Take a look, do you see it? Let me see if I can, right there. Hold on, let me see if I can get, see the fresh shoot. See that guy, right there? See that? Right there, right? Nice, it's gorgeous, yeah. What's the stream plan? Stream tomorrow's current events and economics. As for those numbers, 10 by 10. It's a game we play online. We've livestreamed this game. If you do Chicho, 10 by 10, you'll see the videos. I have a playlist on YouTube and we've done, this was the last game we played on Twitch Live. The chat tells us what numbers to do and we do. It's a fantastic game, very meditative. Have you ever considered a plant focus stream? I've shown my, Earth Day's coming. I've shown my plant collection. I've done a plant collection video. When is Earth Day? What day? Cool, yeah? Maybe we do. We're gonna fix up our patio, but if next time, I think it's sunny, we're gonna fix up patio, bring the plants outside. You love nature, don't you Chicho? That's like for Sherlock, I was a geophysicist. I've flown around a lot of places and driven a lot of places in nature. I've been doing geophysics while a bear was away, like 20 feet away from me, right? Or 20 meters away from me, right? Don't want it to check me out. He said, hey, get out of here. I'm doing radar, seismic, whatever it was here. Death metal, absurdicon. Awesome, Chicho. Sleepy waves. I've been working on my first song from writing at vocals and even learning piano just to get the keys and my overall knowledge of awesome sleepy waves. Now I am trying to learn how to mix, but I am so overwhelmed by learning everything else. At this point, it's better to keep trying to learning mixing or to delegate that to someone else. Sleepy waves, I would say this. If you're learning how to mix and you're loving every hour that you're spending on there, learning how to do it, just stay focused. If you're starting to find yourself like overwhelmed and it's making you depressed and stuff, then introduce the next thing you need to learn, right? So my advice would be if you're still enjoying the learning process of whatever it is you're learning and you're focused and you're very productive, stick with it, right? But don't be afraid to introduce another thing as well, but make sure you're introducing it when you have this time available to learn it, right? Will you be doing any more backgammon or any more fun stuff besides the more serious streams like current Earth or, for sure, Atlas, for sure. What have we done? We did math. We did six and a half hour live music live stream last night, for sure. We do the game, we do backgammon, for sure we do backgammon, I got game. It's just whatever, I'm taking requests soon, soon. I haven't set my next five. In the next five, there's things that I wanna do. In the next five, four or five, they might, I'm pretty sure they'll be math, at least. I consider that one, I don't know about you, but everything else I consider fun too, but math is pleasurable, right? I can't remember what I've lined up, brother or sister, of course, right? I live in the west coast of Canada, Sherry. Earth Day was April 22nd long, we missed Earth Day, but never too late, never too late. Well, we probably will in the summer. Once we set up the patio, maybe I'll do a stream setting up the patio. I'm gonna scroll down the gang. Nice, okay, I'm all the way down gang. Cool, thank you. I will keep that in mind, I'll focus my direction. Nice, people having nice conversations. Nice, we're coming almost to the end of the stream gang. Nice conversations, I was pretty energized at the beginning, go mad. But an important topic, matcha, super good. Lots of nice greens, green tea, or tea, I guess, with honey. I think tomorrow we do the stream here as well, while we got this set up that way. It's nice, it looks super pretty. Sleep of ways. In your part of the world, Canada, what is a number of monthly income that feels good? Where I live, I need to break 4K a month to be a decent, and Canada varies so much depending on where you live. In Vancouver, to be comfortable, to be paid, like one bedroom apartment, studio apartment is like $1,500, $1,200, $1,500. To get a one bedroom apartment, you're talking $1,500, $2,000 a month, Canadian, right? It's high, it's high, too high. And that's gonna change, we're in serious flux right now. But yeah, Sleepy Waves, pretty much 4,000, says you're maintaining, okay? And that's about it, right? You're just maintaining with 4,000 a month. Crazy. I've reduced, I've been able to reduce my expenses a lot. I've had to, to be able to do what I'm doing right now to balance out the funds coming in. I just break even. As long as I'm producing, creating content and I see growth happening in Twitch and YouTube and while YouTube not as much, but in different places, I'm gonna keep on going. Compound growth. Take what they're using and use it to your advantage. Put it to your advantage. Coolio, tell your plants I said hi and they'd look lovely today. Pants, did you hear that? Coolio says hi and then you'd look lovely today. And yesterday, of course, and tomorrow they're gonna look great as well. I'm going to go break into my tea stash. I've been neglecting since before the pandemic started. Great stream. Awesome, Coolio. Have some nice tea and thank you. The plants send their best. Thanks again. I'm going to go practice. Awesome, everyone. If I want to produce content online full-time, I will have to leave to New York City. Leave New York City, I hope. Just unsustainable. You could go live in an amazing place and create content. Your expenses would be minimal. It'd be amazing, less stress. Do you like painting? I haven't done, but I come from a family of painters. So, for hobby, for hobby. Let's call this stream gang. That was fun. We'll be here tomorrow at 1pm PDT my time. Talking about current events, economics. G to G, goodbye to G. Goodbye, G to G. Uptime, how long have you been up? Oh, you put a space between it. You gotta go exclamation mark and then uptime together. Yeah, one hour and 50 minutes, good, good. Gang, if you'd like to follow our work, I'm on Patreon. It's a great way to support this project. You can follow without contributing funds because I don't put anything behind the paywall and just follow what we're posting, what I'm posting. I do share, I'm gonna start sharing a lot more content. My business plan to a certain degree is laid out in the intro video on Patreon. It's a long, it's basically linking up how mathematics is related to the core building block of everything that I'm doing, right? So, if you like what you see, Patreon is a fantastic way to support this project. Twitch is where we're live streaming, okay? So, if you wanna follow this chat live, Twitch is where you wanna be at, okay? I am announcing these things on Twitter, Gaps, Mines, VK, Allo, and Gap. Thank you very much for the subscribe. Wasus, I appreciate it. And if you wanna support this work for sure, subscribing, following through Twitch is a fantastic way to do it as well.

We will introduce, thanks Wasus, big smiles, lots of love. We are uploading these to Bitshoot and YouTube right now, okay? And make sure your healthcare systems are not under stress that they're able to take care of everybody, okay? That's the name of the game. If you're lucky enough to be living in a place where the wave hasn't hit you too hard or this first wave anyway, okay? Aside from that, gang, thank you for being here. Fantastic conversations, mods, thank you for taking care of business, okay? I'll see you guys tomorrow. I'm not gonna go through the chat, there's a few favorite chat coming up, but we're gonna jump in, gang. Thank you, everybody, okay? And I'll see you guys tomorrow if you can make it. Bye for now.


The Bemidji City Council is working on fine-tuning a new events ordinance. A second public meeting to discuss the ordinance was held tonight. Groups who the council thought the ordinance would affect were personally invited, however the meeting was open to everyone. The group discussed the wording of the ordinance as well as what were the best ways to go about requesting city property. Some in the original creation of that ordinance, some people who are event organizers felt it was too overbearing and so we are trying to meet their needs as well as the public's needs as well as the city's needs for proper use and proper notification of public property. In the future groups will be required to complete paperwork before hosting an event. The group also discussed which specifics the public and area businesses would need to know before an event takes place. Notifying businesses how far out distance wise from a street closure we would feel we would need to notify businesses as well as residents for in particular parades and what we decided was we hold about six parades in the city per annum, different groups do and that parades will be exempt from notification because there are just too many folks that would need to get a personal letter and that's very expensive. An ordinance takes three readings for approval the events ordinance will have its second reading at a later city council meeting.

Would you rather pay $650 or $66 for a smart phone? Simple.  Better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless. We're hoping that this year is kind of like a blast from the past and everything like that because you know whenever I was little there was hundreds and hundreds of people up there all pitching in to clean up and hopefully we get that this time too. But you can actually go to Pot County Prod's Facebook page or you can go to East Kentucky Marina's Facebook page and we're going to have things on there about the date, the time because everyone's going to start coming up there about 7 o'clock in the morning. If you want to be there a little bit early before 8 o'clock it's a good idea because we have to register you especially if you want to win some prizes. Most of all we want to get the garbage out. Everybody talks about it so this is your chance to go do something about it.
