Hello everybody, my name is Rob Day joined by the infamous Jack Handler. Hello. And this is another episode of Logger's The World and today we're heading to Singapore with our new friend John from Bruelander. John, why don't you introduce yourself. Hi everyone. My name is John. I, I'm born and bred in Singapore. I started home brewing sometime in 2008. You know, and after a trip back from the UK, selling a little bit beers. Beer in this part of the world tastes very similar, right, whether you're drinking brand ABC, XYZ, it's largely a mercher style, lagers group with a lot of rice and you know, like, you know, just very bland tasting beers.  I still remember the exact moment where I was like, Oh my God, I didn't realize beer could taste so flavorful. Right so so so flavorful like so different from everything that we drink in Asia. So I came back to Singapore. You know, and transmitting with a friend who just came from the state as well. And he just briefly mentioned that, you know, brewing beers at home is catching up in the US. So I thought, okay, you can brew beers at home and I, I Google and the next thing I knew was there was someone that selling boomer ingredients and equipment in Singapore very basic ones, and I didn't really put in any effort at all. I put the beer in the morning. I pitched the yeast and we drove into another town across across into Malaysia, actually, which is just across the river spent a weekend there came back, you know, the next week tasted it and it was beer, right. And it didn't taste very good actually but you know, you could tell that it tasted I mean you could tell it's beer.  So, and I mean living in Singapore is a very fast paced high stress environment. So, whenever I knew that was during that weekend I was like, so happy, right, because for me that's, that's my therapy. That's my 18 rounds, you know, 18 goals of golf walking, you know, the whole process of it was really therapeutic for me. This was in 2008 2009, right, and we didn't have a lot of imported craft beer. So it's kind of like, you know, if I would send you a Chinese or a Singaporean cookbook, and you just following the recipe, you wouldn't know whether it's, it could taste delicious but you wouldn't know whether it's supposed to taste like, you know, how it's meant to be like so back in those days. I was just brewing all these beers and I didn't know whether it was supposed to taste like that, you know, and so I started sent to some local home brew competition. There were obviously judges who knew a lot more than than myself back then about beer and you know just thinking, you know, it would be nice to have some feedback and I can improve beers.   It's gypsy brew, sometimes I brew somewhere, I find a place that we can brew the beer somewhere, and let's see how far we go today. So we put together a small amount of money. I found a brewery in Cambodia, because in my previous job I traveled quite a bit within Southeast Asia, so I got to know someone who manages a brewery there that was not in a good shape. Basically they weren't selling a lot of their own beers, they had a lot of capacity, you know, and you know, it's just a chance meeting again, right, and I went to them and my proposition was that you know, we will pay for your facility fee, but we want to do the brewing ourselves.  Like, when can you start, right, like he was saying, so you don't need me to buy mobs from you, no, I will buy my own mobs, I'll buy my own house. We'll do everything, we'll use your facility, we will obviously need some manpower during packaging and everything and just send it back to Singapore. And he was like, okay, so it worked great for everyone, like so, and for us as well. Because I get to say that, you know, even though we are contract growing somewhere else, but I could say that I fly there to brew the beers. And back then we, you know, since day one, we bought all our mobs ourselves, our shops ourselves, you know, and we really just use the facility and it was great.   And now we, about two years ago, we started to brew in Singapore, which is another nightmare altogether. We took over the lease of our new brewery on 1st April 2020. And within two days, they announced complete lockdown and, oh man, it was a nightmare and we were burning rent. We have equipment that's on the sea, we have equipment stuck somewhere and we've got equipment that is delayed and it's just a whole nightmare. But thankfully, you know, we've crossed the line and we are making beers right now. Is it still therapy to you or is it stressful now?  Yeah, good days, right? And there are days that you, you know, you get really excited about and there are days that you just feel like, why didn't I just keep it a hobby? That's a really interesting origin story. I think talking about your story and opening your place and launching Brewlander. I've spent a lot of time on your website that haven't tried the beers yet, I hope to, but the look and feel you're creating is a lot of fun. It's so vibrant. There's a lot of interesting stuff happening. You've created what looks to be an incredible brewery that could rival many others here as well. With this project, with Brewlander, what are you looking to create? What makes Brewlander special? How do you define yourself as a brewery? The guiding principle and actually why the main push for me to give up a comfortable, you know, stable career and really jump into this was because I actually started to get quite involved into beer judging and reading out with home brew and the fellow home brew communities within Asia. So what happened is in my previous job, I traveled quite a bit within the region. And because of that, and I was one of the earliest Asian BJCP judges as well, I was quite involved with helping set up the Asian chapters within Asia. I actually helped propter a few of the earliest tasting examinations in Asia as well. So what was great was that as the result, you form a lot of close friendship and community. What makes this attractive is community, right? And every country that I visited, I started to see, wow, a change, right? Like, you know, I go to Hong Kong, I start to see bars, commercial bars. It's not just craft beer, centric bars, but you know, like just a mainstream pub will start to put a local craft beer on it. Then in Thailand, especially where it's illegal to brew craft, people were doing it illegally at home. And bars were buying it illegally and selling it illegally, you know, but you know, it's, you know, hopefully that's why we love Bangkok and then Thailand. And then when I come back to Singapore, it's like, you know, when I go to a bar, it's all just commercial options, right? It's just mind-blowing in the sense that, you know, like Singapore actually has much earlier history of, I wouldn't really say craft, but in fact that day was called micro brewery movement. There were a lot of people here that, a couple of them, the pioneers started like American brew pubs, you know, like barbecue ribs and you know, American IPA. Everyone would have the style of American IPA, red beer, golden ale, pilsner, right? So, you know, pretty standard stuff, delicious for its time, right?  Whereas for me, I'm a beer person, right? I love my beer. I have no interest in running a restaurant. And for me, it was like, why don't we have good quality local representation and no offence to anyone, right? Early in the day, basically, most of the beers that you try in neighboring countries were not that good by today's standards, right? But there was a support. There was a support there for putting on a local brand, a local craft brand. So I grew quite frustrated about the situation here. So it was like, you know what, stop complaining, why don't I do something about it, right? And I think that that's what we still want to try to do in Singapore, which is to expand people's talent, right? And coming back to myself as well, like, I want to create kind of like the first time I remember drinking that kind of beer that changed my complete perception of what beer is. Every time, you know, as idealistic as it might sound, right? Like, I would like that anyone who tries a brew blender for the first time would also think, like, oh my God, I didn't realize beer could taste so flavorful.  I had deeply about the beer and mostly wanting to put like good fresh local beers in as many places in Singapore as possible. So our direction was very different. And the next thing was then back in those days, nobody wanted to look at it. And everyone would like, I would knock on, you know, so many doors every day, I would say, go knock on five doors, do at least two, three tastings, cash the last bus and last train home. And every day you get rejected, but you know, you just keep moving on. And some of those earlier rejections were kind of comical in a sense, right? But at the same time, it tells you where the market was where people say it's like, oh, it's a local beer.  And then they would say like who made the beer? I said, oh, I'm the groomer, I'm the brewer, I brew the beer. And you look at me like, okay, I'm like, I don't know what was it, how many feet that is, but I'm 166 centimetres, right, or 1.67 metres. So not told by any means, right. And I'm pretty skinny, or used to be pretty skinny, right?   Now let's start talking.  Whereas for us, it's like, hey, you know what, you just did a tasting of my beer alongside an imported beer from a very well-known brewery in the U.S. And you just say that my beer is better because it's pressure and everything, then pay up mate, right. And then what they say is that their cost of production is still nothing compared to the AVIs and whoever. So we try to educate the market that way, but what we did from day one is to establish this is what you pay for quality. And we walk away from customers who just want to take the piss. Singapore is probably the second most expensive place in the world to drink beer and alcohol. Probably behind only Norway. So it's really expensive to drink in Singapore. But, you know, but for us, it's actually not a bad thing, right, because if someone walks into a commercial bar, he's going to pay about US dollars term, right. He's going to pay about 10 US dollars for a Heineken. At least, you know, and then you have another 20% on top of service charge and then in everything. So it's not cheap.   So if the bar, you know, if they're selling to them at $5 a pint, they will mark it up at least three times and sell it for at least 15, $16 a pint. So they are squeezing you not because they are making a loss on it. They're going to make a lot of money on it. Anyway, right, but then, you know, it's probably just them, you know, just the industry trying to get us. But we say, no, this is, this is, this is the price you have to pay for good local craft. And we had our ground. And, you know, early in the day, everyone's like, Oh, I cannot talk to drink blue lander. I can't pay for John's beer is so expensive. You know, and we joke about it, but we have a ground right and as a result shortly after that you can see, we will probably number 1718 on the list. Our kids that were before us. And shortly after that, right, we make it such that this is the price you pay where you could actually make it a sustainable business. And now we have to buy it all 3536 brands, where people now understand the quality of local beer. And the importance of supporting local business, small local breweries, small businesses, as well as this is the price you pay for quality, regardless of confidence, right, this quality is right. And, and as a result, right. You know, if you're proud to say that, you know, as a result, a lot of our peers now could put at least earn a leave, you know, a decent bridge in our salary where they could, they could not just say I'm giving up something for my passion but then I kind of thought to pay my mortgage I would rather pay rent or whatever, at least look at themselves and feel like, you know, I still love what I'm doing, you know, and still be able to sustain the financial commitments and family and all this stuff. So that's, that's why I'm quite happy to say that I helped establish which is this is what you pay for good local quality. It's really great to hear and you, you covered so many of the other questions I had around where craft beer fits into the market in Singapore and it's really interesting to the price difference is, is a big big big cultural difference between here and Singapore is there's a lot of cheap beer in the US. And, you know, hearing, you know, prices of Heineken in Singapore and then craft having to establish above that. It's, it's super interesting and I'm sure that drives a lot of your decision making what makes beers uniquely Singaporean, if you will, what flavors are you looking for. What are some cool things you're, you're digging into that that really help establish Singapore beer versus any of the imports or other details. Singapore has no agricultural industry right so it's very hard for us to say like oh we use local malls. You know, like, we have to buy our fish, our chicken from, from all our neighbors, you know, we're really tiny as an island, but we actually started a small project that COVID this, you know, to the spanner in that one. I always thought what could we say or how could we say that you know like we could make a beer that's uniquely Singapore obviously we could use flavors that it's inspired by, you know, the food culture in Singapore has a crazy crazy. Yeah, you know food culture because you know it's a melting pot of so many different cultures here right you want Indian food you've got it Malay food you've got it Indonesian food you've got a Thai food you've got a Vietnamese food you've got a Chinese food you've got it. European, French, Italian, you know McDonald's doors. Like so everything right so and we are big, we are big food nation, people with cure and now we're just for for meal, like and also. So, I guess, a lot of us take inspiration in crafting obvious, either to pair with the diverse food culture that's in Singapore, or use special ingredients that we are very known for like, you know, like lemon grass or spices for example, and infuse it into the beer or add it into the brewing of the beer. But something that I did, and interestingly as well, like, because we are in the tropics, you know, a lot of the tropical fruits here is so much different from the mango that we plant here is totally different flavor versus the mango that you probably would get in the US or Europe. Yeah, so it makes a lot of difference in flavor. So four ingredients, right, four main ingredients, water, right, hops, malt and yeast. So I was thinking like we don't have hops in Singapore, we don't have malt, barley in Singapore. What about, you know, what about trying to, you know, have our own yeast culture or microbial culture, right, whether it's yeast or bacteria. or bacteria or whatever. And we went into an urban farm actually in Singapore and we actually, you know, try to isolate, you know, we brought like petri dishes and opagas and, you know, like work out there as well. And we're trying to capture foods from everything. We put some leaves, we put some fruits as well, you know, both salt and unsalted wood and try to get as much culture as we had. And we were only starting, starting out in that and then in a little bit. But I think it's, that's a project that we would love to continue. If we could find some really nice interesting niece or couches from Singapore, they would be so cool as well. Do you have a science background or who's, who's culture and all these. I don't have a science background, but I had quite a bit of practice during the days. You know, you mentioned that there's not a lot of local malt and hops when you are sourcing these ingredients are you looking more to the US or to Europe or where, where are you getting your malt and hops from us. We get most of our hops really today, I would say probably maybe 80% of it from of us. At one point we've been using quite a bit of New Zealand and Australian hops as well. And I think in 2018-19 harvest was really bad or 17-18-19 harvest was very bad. Then we get a bit of hops from Europe, or European hops, English hops from time to time as well. And obviously it's still some Australian hops as well. So a lot of my peers got into Trump brewing or home brewing because of American IPAs, American burials and you know like New World hops was amazing. And Cast Hills, Cast Hills, you know, is still probably one of my favorite styles of beer. Every time I'm in the UK, it's like the Pampers, Ben, the Hotel or Eddie, Eddie, you know, and just the malt. So just my preference is I really love the malt. So we order, we use mostly exclusively almost from the UK. And I've reviewed them for like five, six years now.  But one of the main reasons is because something about the roasted mobs from the UK, they just make the roasted mobs so differently. The way they kiln it is just so much more flavorful. And, you know, you get a lot more chocolate, a lot more coffee without actually adding chocolate or coffee in there versus, you know, some of the others that we tried from other countries. So that's just my preference. Yeast, mostly we use a lot of yeast from white labs. This is just so much easier to order from them. I think they've got it figured out how to send yeast to this part of the world. We get a bit of yeast from Imperial as well. It's a cost to overnight yeast to Singapore. So much. So now we've got things better control. We buy like nano pitch sizes, which is meant for like five barrel and then we propagate it ourselves. Our brew house 30 barrels or 30 hack. And, you know, so we buy like, you know, five barrels per and we propagate that through 30 barrels. Yeah, the pictures from the brewery look like you built a very modern, very high end brew house. So what was the motivation to build the way that you did?  You know, and I bought a large stock pot that's meant to poke soup and all and just drill my own holes and Frankenstein the whole thing out, right? And whereas now you've got like what Brownmeister or Grandfather that's so convenient. Right.  Oh, maybe it's time for me to buy a pump, right, because carrying, you know, 30 liters of potwood, you know, up to the stove is not fun, you know, and thankfully I've not spilled any, any 80 degrees on myself or, you know, like, like, yeah. So along the way, you know, you keep thinking about, okay, what should I upgrade in my system, right? And I've got so many years, you know, of time to think, okay, I'm going to build a brewery, how will it be? So when I was building this brewery, it's like I've got so many years of planning in my mind like what this brewery would look like and how it would be. But on the flip side is that, and obviously I want to be able to brew and produce as, you know, like beers, any kind of beers, any styles of beers that I want. And I don't want it to be, you know, like, oh, we can't do that, why? Because the system can't do it. And we thought through that quite a lot. And the system is really very much customized for us. So, like, for example, like even we do a lot of late topic, right? So what we do this, what we did is between post cattle, we added a feeder exchanger that is not a plate exchanger so it doesn't clock even if there's hops in there. So we were able to say, chill the cattle down to, you know, like 80 degrees, 70 degrees, whatever you want, before you add your go-to hops in there, right? So you retain a lot of aroma and flavor without, you know, without isomerizing the hops, right? So we can add a lot of hops but not get that high a top utilization of bitterness from there. So we added stuff like that. Or even if we want to do cattle sour, you know, we could do it safely, no holes, holes, paid heat exchanger back to the cattle. Like everything can be done, you know, like, froze loop safety first and, you know, with maintaining, you know, the best sanitation as well. So, you know, a lot of time to think about all these things. And on top of that, it's about automation. Because hiring in Singapore is really difficult. Yeah. Very difficult here. It's like even right now we are trying to hire brewers and just so hard because we are generally a very tempered bunch of people. So working in a brewery, you know, where it's largely 35 to at least 35 degrees every day Celsius, right?  And you've got to work quite a bit with your hands. You're always working around and doing stuff, right? It's not the most comfortable of the environment, right? And, you know, and it's obviously the salaries are expensive here as well. So we have to design where we can make it as efficient as possible, right? And then utilize our manpower more efficiently or get them to do smarter jobs. You know, I don't need a guy to stand there to watch the cattle boy for 90 minutes or whatever. Brewery should be as little drama as possible. Right. And we're really just letting the technology really just do the heavy lifting for us. And I guess also for us is where we are at today. We know the excuse of we are trying something different this batch. We kind of always use that same, you know, the excuse anymore, right? So people expect the beer to taste within, you know, within a tolerance, right? Like it has to taste consistently within an acceptable tolerance and I think that's what we also want to do for our beer. So it's all these reasons where we invested quite heavily into this system. And then obviously, I just like kicking out all these systems and improving systems, you know, and optimizing efficiency. How can we shorten the brew day, right? You know, and everything for our guys. I have a lot of notes. So I have one more since you brought it up related to what we might do with this beer. One of the key things lacking agriculture, you said was pairing with food. So what are a couple of your favorite Singapore dishes? Wow. How much time you have. All right, like, okay, so one of the most popular ones is chicken rice. It's steamed chicken rice that is very popular in Singapore and Malaysia. We have chili seafood. In general, seafood is very popular here. So you've got black pepper crabs, chili crabs. I mean, so many, like curry, curry as well. We've got quite a good population of Indians here as well. You know, because Singapore was the British outpost hundreds, 20 years ago. So, you know, you've got Indians from India keep coming over as well.  One of my favorite breakfast is roti. It's amazing that you, it's deep in, it's kind of like none. Okay. Yeah, so it's basically bread, right? A piece of bread and you dip it in curry and add it. It's amazing. But food in this area is usually very fatty, very oily. Right, that, you know, that makes it great for fantastic. It's very good, like a crisp, like washes down the grease, washes down the oil. It's just amazing. And it really helps because like we are almost four year around between 30 to 35 degrees. But it's hot or it's water. It's too far. It will be hot tomorrow's hotter. And it rains quite a bit here as well. So it helps having a nice ice cold beer here in the tropics. All right, well, I think we've got a lot of material to work with here and this was fascinating, super interesting talk with you. John, thanks for joining us today. I look forward to what we come up with here together and roast.


Bitcoin to 100,000 by years in if you like price prediction videos, you might like this video however before we get to the end I gotta tell you I'm gonna have to give you a little dose of reality and put your feet back on the ground So I Like price prediction just as much as everybody they're great for hoping and everything else And I know some people said hoping is just is just wrong and shouldn't be look hoping is what gets us through Let's be honest. We've had a pretty brutal last year and we're just kind of emerging from that So let's allow ourselves to dream a little bit, but not get crazy So this was an article from coin desk and it says price of Bitcoin made 100k by year-end from standard charter bank So I'm thinking myself. This is great. I in 2023 I'm gonna be loaded because Bitcoin's going up so high and I'm not gonna read you this entire article because it's wrong What it really comes down to is this this is from Reuters And I took a look the source material and this is what the analyst actually said Bitcoin could 100k by the end of 2024 Standard Chartered says before we go on who's standard Charter? Well, standard Charter is a bank Located in the UK one of the oldest banks out there history of over 160 years in the UK It's regulated by the prudential regulation authority financial conduct authority and is one of the UK's largest banks I was not aware of that because I am in the States London serves as the headquarters for the Europe and America's business Focus on facilitating business across Asia Africa in the Middle East next question probably asking you is who cares? How big are they? Great question. So I had to pull out their Sampling report from 2022 and their total operating income was around 16 billion 16.2 billion to be exact and For reference to see how big that would compare it to say J.P. Morgan one of the largest banks in the world J.P. Morgan has an annual operating income for 2022 was 46 billion so 46 billion 16 billion Now it's a couple billion among friends, right? So we can say it's a little bit of credibility So here's what the analyst states first they state that the so-called crypto winter is over Bitcoin and the reason for that is multiple factors first of all recent turmoil in the banking sector Stabilization of risk assets as the US Federal Reserve ends its interest rate hiking cycle debatable I think we're gonna go up next month Senator Charter's head of digital asset research Jeff Kendrick said in a note this while sources of uncertainty remain We think the pathway to a hundred thousand dollars per Bitcoin level is becoming clear And that's pretty much it So that's a great one and we can just stop there and we can go home and say great hundred thousand by 2024 I'm fantastic, but let me just give you a little dose of reality, which is this Price predictions are worthless. I must admit to you They are and no one really knows has a crystal ball might I remind you that? Most of these predictions are incorrect and here's one as for a little history lesson City Bank, I think it's the 11th largest bank in the world that analyst said in November 2020 that Bitcoin can go as high as 318,000 by the end of 2022 and it actually closed out at 16 5 and then to take it on a little memory lane John McCaffey in 2017 said Bitcoin go to a million by 2020. I don't think that happened Tom Lee of some fun strat said that Bitcoin go to 25,000 by 2018. I don't think it went above I mean, I don't think it hits lows like 5,000 Tim Draper one of the Largest investors out there said that Bitcoin would go to 250,000 by 2022 still waiting next Kaiser Who's everybody loves? I'm sure he'll be at Bitcoin Miami in 2018 said that Bitcoin would go to $100,000 in 2018 there by being Tom Lee's Paltry price prediction 25,000 and then Bobby Lee came back and said okay Well, how about half a million by 2028 again all these things are great And they give a little hope but they're kind of ridiculous and let's not forget me. I Am out there too in 2020 2021. I believed that Bitcoin would go to 150,000 by the end of 2021. I was totally wrong on that one. I'll take the hit to that So the only thing I like to say is this Price predictions are great. You're gonna see a lot of them out there But just take it with a grain of salt I think that we are in the right place at the right time and I also believe that I don't really care what's gonna happen at this year or the end of next year I have a big believe in the four-year cycles and we talked about this yesterday Why I'm not selling in May and going away like the old adage says I think we've got a lot of room to run over the years So it always happens like this having all-time high dip reset happened in 2012 1314 15 Happened again in 2016.  Well, we hit 3232 then there's a reset in 2019 Bobby Leo was and then we had a having in 2020 all time in 2021 We had a massive dip in a reset and now 2024 around March or April. We'll have another Bitcoin having Hopefully an all-time high and then everything will go down again in a dip and a reset for your cycles are still in play And that's why I think we got a lot of room to run Anyhow, let me think about that in the comment section, of course Let me know one of your most craziest price predictions for Bitcoin over the years because those are the ones that I could find But I forget a lot of things next up The mooch so this was a pretty good piece I'd recommend you listen to it links in the description where Anthony scaramucci From Skybridge Capital says that Gary Gensler and Elizabeth Warren are in cahoots, which I think we know that he said both of them Are working together to stifle crypto's progress and innovation in the United States I gotta tell you I agree with them wholeheartedly and I can tell you why he's probably not too happy right now And it's something that he said on my show Which was his allocation to Algorand this is about a minute or so just take a listen This is from Dan teaches crypto 100% free websites.  Take a listen to this I think you're gonna be rewarded But certainly you can't look at it every day, you know, it's up today. It was down over two weeks That's how it works in the Bitcoin marketplace of the cryptocurrency marketplace But over three to five years, I think we're gonna be very well rewarded Rob for what we're doing yeah, and I agree and So Anthony first of all, thanks for coming on really appreciate it. Also. Thank you for introducing me to Algorand I did a deep dive video, which I'll be releasing pretty soon. I think that's one of those sleepers I think that's one of the things that your clients would be very happy that they invested in A quarter billion dollars in Algorand right now. I think I think Algorand will be the Google I'll just say this quickly, you know, you and I when we were young youngsters We were logging on to the internet using Alta Vista. We were using Lycos America online even Prodigy if you can remember that Oh, yeah, and then low and behold in 1998 this company came along called Google and people are like, well Why the hell do I need that? I've got all of these other instruments to access the internet and then people said well You know, it's faster. It has machine learning the algorithms are more widespread. It's going to lead to better outcomes and low and behold Google trumped everybody and I think that's going to happen with Algorand I think wow a quarter of a billion dollars So I can understand why the mooch is not too happy with Gary Ginzer and his trusty sidekick Pocahontas and I will just say this The reason of course is because SEC labels out Algorand five of the tokens and securities in the Bittrick's lawsuit So I can totally understand that but hey, that's what we get when we let The crazies rule the roost. So let me know what you think about that little piece then finally just to follow up Celsius failed crypto owner Celsius auction attracts Earrington and Gemini So this is actually could be a good story. But again, there's a story behind the story so Celsius Joining an earlier bid by Nova Wolf digital management to manage a restructured version of the bankruptcy crypto company are Fahrenheit LLC consortium backed by tech crunching founder Michael Earrington and blockchain recovery investment committee backed by Gemini trust run by the Winklevoss twins when I first saw Fahrenheit LLC I thought that was the same company that Celsius was trying to restructure called Kelvin So I was a little bit off there But yeah, this is a totally different Michael Earrington and Fahrenheit and when it talks about Gemini trust from of the Winklevoss twins That is not Gemini the exchange and I tweeted this out and I just asked some people I trust Let's just Tiffany Fong and Aaron Bennett Simon Dixon and Tiffany says I chat with someone from the Fahrenheit team yesterday I'll try to post it later and Simon says they would simply be the custodians for distributing crypto This is comes back from dollar clown says hey Tiff Please see if you can clear up just how involved coinbase and Gemini are there was reports that both were auctioning or being probably auction I'm getting a strong vibe. They are not Simon says no the plan sponsor would have a custody account with them for Distribution I'll be the part with Gemini and Coinbase not financial legal advice. So there you go So things are looking up and it sounds fantastic But it's just gonna be a little bit the longer ways to run and of course the details matter and lastly I will say this There was there was a great piece Last week tonight with John Oliver and he went over some different things about Celsius Luna I think it was actually an old video not anything recent But I said, you know what if you want to laugh and cry watch this I said Alex Mishinsky and Celsius sent the entire industry back years And that was the pretty much the darkest thing you could you could say about it But then there was one quote from banana sats and I got to give it up He says I think he set the industry back, but on the bright side self-custodial Bitcoin forward I think over time this will continue to be the trend and that's really what it comes down to There's a lot of things that are out there that just don't really add up and not really good But you have to find those silver linings and I gotta tell you that is just one of the things I think moving forward how many of us are going to remember this the ones who were here right now And we'll never trust those types of entities and we'll do a lot of self-custy Which is what the ethos of crypto is supposed to be even I got blindsided by it because I let myself get fooled I think moving forward. This will be the way the thing only question is How will the newer people react and will they actually listen to us the ones that have come before time will tell That's it for today. So look like today's video and give it a thumbs up consider subscribing This industry is not a set and forget it It would behoove you to subscribe at least to somebody just keep yourself up to date. That's all we got anyhow Thanks so much for stopping by. I appreciate you. I'll see you on the next one


Section 9 of Samson Agonistes This LibriBox recording is in the public domain. Recording by Martin Giesen. Samson Agonistes by John Milton. Section 9. Chorus. Samson. Public officer. Oh, how calmly it is, and how reviving to the spirits of just men, long oppressed, when God into the hands of their deliverer, puts invincible might to quell the mighty of the earth, the oppressor, the brute and boisterous force of violent men, hardy and industrious to support tyrannic power, but raging to pursue the righteous and all such as honour truth. See all their ammunition and feats of war defeats with plain heroic magnitude of mind and celestial vigor armed. Their armories and magazines contems, renders them useless. While with winged expedition swift as the lightning glance, he executes his errand on the wicked, who, surprised, lose their defence, distracted and amazed. But patience is more oft the exercise of saints, the trial of their fortitude, making them each his own deliverer, and victor over all that tyranny or fortune can inflict. Either of these is in thy lot, Samson, with might endued above the sons of men. But sight bereaved, may chance to number thee with those whom patience finally must crown. This idle's day has been to thee no day of rest, labouring thy mind more than the working day thy hands, and yet perhaps more trouble is behind, for I describe this way some other tending, in his hand a scepter or quaint staff he bears, comes on a main, speed in his look. By his habit I discern him now a public officer, and now at hand. His message will be short and voluble. Hebrews, the prisoner Samson, here I seek. His manacles remark him, there he sits. Samson, to thee our lords thus bid me say, this day to Dagon is a solemn feast, with sacrifices, triumph, pomp and games, thy strength they know surpassing human rate, and now some public proof thereof require to honour this great feast, and great assembly. Rise therefore with all speed and come along, where I will see the heartened and fresh clad to appear as fits before the illustrious lords. Thou knowest I am an Hebrew, therefore tell them our law forbids at their religious rights my presence, for that cause I cannot come. This answer be assured will not content them. Have they not sword-players, and every sort of gymnic artists, wrestlers, riders, runners, jugglers and dancers, antics, mummers, mimics, but they must pick me out with shackles tired, and over-labour at their public mill, to make them sport with blind activity. Do they not seek occasion of new quarrels on my refusal to distress me more, or make a game of my calamities? Return the way thou camest, I will not come. Regard thyself, this will offend them highly. Myself, my conscience and internal peace, can they think me so broken, so debased with corporal servitude, that my mind ever will condescend to such absurd commands. Although their drudge, to be their fool or jester, and in my midst of sorrow and heart grief, to show them feats and play before their god, the worst of all indignities, yet on me joined with extreme contempt, I will not come. My message was imposed on me with speed, brooks no delay, is this thy resolution? So take it with what speed thy message needs. I am sorry what this stoutness will produce. Perhaps thou shalt have cause to sorrow indeed. Consider, Samson, matters now are strained up to the height, whether to hold or break. He's gone, and who knows how he may report thy words by adding fuel to the flame. Expect another message more imperious, more lordly, thundering than thou well wilt bear. Shall I abuse this consecrated gift of strength, again returning with my hair after my great transgression, so requite favour renewed, and add a greater sin by prostituting holy things to idols. A Nazarite in place abominable, wanting my strength in honour to their Dagon. Besides how vile, contemptible, ridiculous, what act more execrably unclean, profane. Yet with this strength thou servest the Philistines, idolatrous, uncircumcised, unclean. Not in their idol worship, but by labour honest and lawful to deserve my food of those who have me in their civil power. Where the heart joins not, outward act defile not. Where outward force constrains, the sentence holds. But who constrains me to the temple of Dagon, not dragging? The Philistian lords command. Commands are no constraints. If I obey them, I do it freely, venturing to displease God for the fear of man, and man prefer set God behind, which in his jealousy shall never, unrepent it, find forgiveness. Yet that he may dispense with me or thee present in temples that idolatrous rights, for some important cause, thou needst not doubt. How thou wilt here come off, surmounts my reach. Be of good courage. I begin to feel some rousing motions in me, which dispose to something extraordinary my thoughts. I, with this messenger, will go along. Nothing to do be sure that may dishonour our law or stain my vow of Nazarite. If there be awe to of presage in the mind, this day will be remarkable in my life by some great act, or of my days the last. In time thou hast resolved, the man returns. Samson, this second message from our lords to thee I am bid say. Art thou our slave, our captive, at the public mill our drudge, and dast thou at our sending and command dispute thy coming. Come without delay, or we shall find such engines to assail and hamper thee, as thou shalt come of force, though thou wert family are fastened than a rock. I could be well content to try their art, which to no few of them would prove pernicious. Yet knowing their advantage is too many, because they shall not trail me through their streets like a wild beast, I am content to go. Master's commands come with a power resistless, to such as o them absolute subjection, and for a life who will not change his purpose, so mutable are all the ways of men. Yet this be sure, in nothing to comply scandalous or forbidden in our law. I praise thy resolution, doth these links. By this compliance thou wilt win the lords to favour, and perhaps to set thee free. Brethren, farewell. Your company along I will not wish, lest it perhaps offend them to see me gut with friends, and how the sight of me as of a common enemy, so treaded once, may now exasperate them, I know not. Lords are lordliest in their wine, and the well-feasted priest, then soonest fired with zeal, if ought religion seem concerned. No less the people, on their holy days, impetuous, insolent, unquenchable. Happen what may, of me expect to hear nothing dishonourable, impure, unworthy our God, our law, my nation, or myself. The last of me, or no, I cannot warrant. Go, and the holy one of Israel be thy guide, to what may serve his glory best, and spread his name great among the heathen round. Send thee the angel of thy birth, to stand fast by thy side, whom from thy father's field rode up in flames, after his message told of thy conception, and be now a shield of fire. That spirit that first rushed on thee in the camp of Dan, be efficacious in thee now at need. For never was from heaven imparted measure of strength, so great to mortal seed, as in thy wondrous actions hath been seen. But wherefore comes old Manoa in such haste with youthful steps, much livelier than ere while he seems, supposing here to find his son, or of him bringing to us some glad news? End of Section 9. Recording by Martin Giesen in Hazelmere Surrey. Section 10 of Samson Agonistes. This Librivox recording is in the public domain. Recording by Martin Giesen. Samson Agonistes by John Milton. Section 10. Manoa. Chorus. Messenger. Peace with you, brethren. My inducement hither was not at present here to find my son, by order of the Lord's new parted hence to come and play before them at their feast. I heard all as I came, the city rings and numbers thither flock. I had no will, lest I should see him forced to things unseemly. But that which moved my coming now was chiefly to give he part with me, what hope I have with good success to work his liberty. That hope would much rejoice us to partake with thee. Say, Reverend Sire, we thirst to hear. I have attempted, one by one, the Lord's, either at home or through the High Street passing, with supplication-prone and Father's tears to accept of ransom for my son their prisoner. Some much averse I found, and wondrous harsh, contemptuous, proud, set on revenge and spite. That part most reverenced Dagon and his priests. Others more moderate seeming, but their aim private reward, for which both God and State they easily would set to sail. A third more generous far and civil, who confessed they had enough revenge, having reduced their foe to misery beneath their fears. The rest was magnanimity to remit, if some convenient ransom were proposed. What noise or shout was that? It tore the sky. Doubtless the people shouting to behold their once great dread, captive and blind before them, or at some proof of strength before them shown. His ransom, if my whole inheritance may compass it, shall willingly be paid and numbered down. Much rather I shall choose to live the poorest in my tribe, than richest and he in that calamitous prison left. No, I am fixed not to part hence without him. For his redemption all my patrimony, if need be, I am ready to forgo and quit. Not wanting him, I shall want nothing.  Thou for thy son not bent to lay out all. Sons won't to nurse their parents in old age. Thou in old age cursed how to nurse thy son, made older than thy age through eyesight lost. It shall be my delight to tend his eyes, and view him sitting in the house, ennobled with all those high exploits by him achieved, and on his shoulders waving down those locks that of a nation armed the strength contained. And I persuade me God had not permitted his strength again to grow up, with his hair garrisoned round about him, like a camp of faithful soldiery, were not his purpose to use him farther yet in some great service, not to sit idle with so great a gift useless, and thence ridiculous about him. And since his strength with eyesight was not lost, God will restore him eyesight to his strength. Thy hopes are not ill-founded, nor seem vain of his delivery, and thy joy thereon conceived, agreeable to a father's love in both which we as next participate. I know your friendly minds, and—oh, what noise! Mercy of heaven! What hideous noise was that, horribly loud, unlike the former shout! Noise, call you it, or universal groan, as if the whole inhabitation perished. Blood, death, and dreadful deeds are in that noise, ruin, destruction at the utmost point. Of ruin indeed, me thought I heard the noise. Oh, it continues! They have slain my son. Thy son is rather slaying them, that outcry from slaughter of one foe could not ascend. Some dismal accident it needs must be. What shall we do? Stay here, or run and see. Best keep together here, lest running thither we unaware's run into danger's mouth. This evil on the Philistines is fallen, from whom could else a general cry be heard? The sufferers, then, will scarce molest us here. From other hands we need not much to fear. What if his eyesight, thought to Israel's God nothing is hard, by miracle restored, he now be dealing dole among his foes, and over heaps of slaughter'd walk his way? That were a joy presumptuous to be thought. Yet God hath wrought things as incredible for his people of old. What hinders now? He can, I know, but doubt to think he will. Yet hope would vain subscribe, and tempts belief.  Of good or bad so great, of bad the sooner, for evil news writes post, while good news bates. And to our wish I see one hither speeding, an Hebrew as I guess, and of our tribe. O wither shall I run, or which way fly the sight of this so horrid spectacle, which erst my eyes beheld, and yet behold, for dire imagination still pursues me. But providence or instinct of nature seems, or reason, though disturbed, and scarce consulted, to have guided me aright. I know not how, to thee first, reverend Manuel, and to these my countrymen, whom here I knew remaining, as at some distance from the place of horror, so in the sad event too much concerned. The accident was loud, and here before thee with rueful cry, yet what it was we hear not. No preface needs thou seest we long to know. It would burst forth, but I recover breath, and sense distract, to know well what I utter. Tell us the sum, the circumstance defer. Gaza yet stands, but all her sons are fallen, all in a moment overwhelmed and fallen. Sad, but thou knowest to Israelites not saddest the desolation of a hostile city. Feed on that first, there may in grief be surfeit. Relate by whom? By Samson. That still lessens the sorrow, and converts it nigh to joy. Ah, Manuel, I refrain too suddenly to utter what will come at last too soon.  Suspense in news his torture, speak them out. Then take the worst in brief. Samson is dead. The worst indeed. Oh, all my hopes defeated, to free him hence. But death, who sets all free, hath paid his ransom now, and full discharge. What windy joy this day had I conceived, hopeful of his delivery, which now proves abortive, as the first-born bloom of spring nipped with the lagging fear of winter's frost. Yet ere I give the reins to grief, say first how died he. Death to life is crown or shame. All by him fell, thou sayest, by whom fell he? What glorious band gave Samson his death's wound. Unwounded of his enemies he fell, wearied with slaughter then, or how? Explain. By his own hands, self-violence, what cause brought him so soon at variance with himself among his foes. Inevitable cause at once both to destroy and be destroyed. The edifice where all were met to see him upon their heads and on his own he pulled. O lastly overstrong against thyself, a dreadful way thou tookst to thy revenge. More than enough we know. But while things yet are in confusion, give us, if thou canst, a high witness of what first or last was done. Relation more particular and distinct. This LibriVox recording is in the public domain. Recording by Martin Giesen. Samson Agonistes by John Milton. Section 11. Messenger. Chorus. Chorus. Chorus. Manoa. Occasions drew me early to this city, and as the gates I entered with sunrise, the morning trumpets festival proclaimed through each high street. Little I had dispatched when all abroad was rumoured that this day Samson should be brought forth to show the people proof of his mighty strength in feats and games. I sorrowed at his captive state, but minded not to be absent at that spectacle. The building was a spacious theatre, half round on two main pillars vaulted high, with seats where all the lords and each degree of sort might sit in order to behold. The other side was open, where the throng on banks and scaffolds under sky might stand. I among these aloof, obscurely stood. The feast and noon grew high, and sacrifice had filled their hearts with mirth, high cheer, and wine, when to their sports they turned. Immediately was Samson as a public servant brought in their state livery clad. Before him pipes and timbrels. On each side went armoured guards, both horse and foot before him and behind, archers and slingers, cataphracts and spears. At sight of him the people with a shout rifted the air, clamouring their guard with praise, who had made their dreadful enemy their thrall. He, patient but undaunted where they led him, came to the place, and what was set before him, which without help of eye, might be assayed. To heave, pull, draw or break, he still performed all with incredible, stupendious force, none daring to appear antagonist. At length, for intermission's sake, they led him between the pillars. He his guide requested, for so from such as nearer stored we heard, as overtired, to let him lean a while, with both his arms on those two massy pillars that to the arched roof gave main support. He, unsuspicious, led him, which when Samson felt in his arms, with head a while inclined, and eyes fast fixed, he stood, as one who prayed, or some great matter in his mind revolved. At last, with head erect, Gus cried aloud, Hitherto, lords, what your commands imposed, I have performed, as reason was obeying, not without wonder or delight beheld. Now, of my own accord, such other trial I mean to show you of my strength, yet greater, as with amaze shall strike all who behold. This uttered, streaming all his nerves he bowed, as with the force of winds and waters pent when mountains tremble, those two massy pillars, with horrible convulsion to and fro, he tugged, he shook, till down they came, and drew the whole roof after them. With bursts of thunder upon the heads of all who sate beneath, lords, ladies, captains, counsellors, or priests, their choice, nobility, and flower, not only of this but each Philistian city round, met from all parts to solemnise this feast. Samson, with these immixed, inevitably pulled down the same destruction on himself. The vulgar only escaped who stood without. Oh dearly bought revenge, yet glorious! Living or dying, thou hast fulfilled the work for which thou wast foretold to Israel, and now liest victorious among thy slain, self-killed, not willingly, but tangled in the fold of dire necessity, whose law in death conjoined thee with thy slaughtered foes in number more than all thy life had slain before.   They only set on sport and play, unwittingly import-tuned their own destruction to come speedy upon them. So fond are mortal men fallen into wroth divine, as their own ruin on themselves to invite, insensate left, or to sense reprobate, and with blindness internal struck. But he, though blind of sight, despised and thought extinguished quite, with inward eyes illuminated. His fiery vat, who roused from under ashes into sudden flame, and as an evening dragon came, assailant on the perched roosts and nests in order ranged of tame, velatic fowl, but as an eagle his cloudless thunder bolted on their heads. So verct you, given for lost, depressed and overthrown, assumed, like that self-begotten bird in the Arabian woods embossed, but no second-nose nor third, and lay erewhile a hollow-courced, from out her ashy womb now teemed, revives, reflourishes, then vigorous most when most unactive deemed. And though her body die, her fame survives, a secular bird ages of lives. Come, come, no time for lamentation now, not much more cause.  To Israel honor hath left, and freedom, let but them find courage to lay hold on this occasion, to himself and father's house eternal fame, and which is best and happiest yet, all this with God not parted from him, as was feared, but favoring and assisting to the end. Nothing is here for tears, nothing to wail, or knock the breast, no weakness, no contempt, dispraise, or blame. Nothing but well and fair, and what may quiet us in a death so noble. Let us go find the body where it lies, soaked in his enemy's blood, and from the stream with lavers pure and cleansing herbs wash off the clotted gore. I, with what speed the while, Gaza is not in plight to say us nay, will send for all my kindred, all my friends to fetch him hence, and solemnly attend with silent obsequie and funeral train home to his father's house. There will I build him a monument, and plant it round with shade of laurel evergreen, and branching palm with all his trophies hung, and acts enrolled in copious legend or sweet lyric song. Thither shall all the valiant youth resort, and from his memory inflame their breasts to matchless valour, and adventures high. The virgins also shall on feastful days visit his tomb with flowers, only bewailing his lot unfortunate in nuptial choice, from whence captivity and loss of eyes. All is best, though we oft doubt what the unsearchable dispose of highest wisdom brings about, and ever best found in the clothes. oft he seems to hide his face, but unexpectedly returns, and to his faithful champion hath in place bore witness gloriously. Whence Gaza mourns, and all that ban them to resist his uncontrollable intent, his servants he with new acquist of true experience from this great event, with peace and consolation hath dismissed, and calm of mind all passion spent.

Narcissists have perceived limitations. Please like the video, share your thoughts in the comments, click the subscribe button to receive a notification when I upload my new videos, and share this video with anyone who you believe it may help. From a young age, narcissists were told that they cannot do or say certain things. This didn't stop them from having the desire to do or say certain things. The desire remained, regardless of what they were told, they cannot do or say. The parent of the narcissist might have implied in some way that you cannot speak your mind without being impolite. This may have been a teaching which was passed down from the parent to the child narcissist, and from this point on, the narcissist may begin to sugarcoat everything they say and speak in an indirect way. But this does not remove their desire of wanting to be direct and upfront with whoever they are talking to, though they have had these teachings ingrained in them from a young age. Of course, although the narcissist tries their best to withhold their true thoughts and emotions, it has to come out in some way. With the narcissist, it will come out in passive aggression or coping and defence mechanisms which are harmful to whoever they are around. This can be caused from the perceived limitation which was placed on a child from a young age. Another example is where the narcissist may have been told that they cannot go to a certain place. This may cause them to develop a fear or criticism of this certain place. They may now see it in a negative light. This is a coping and defence mechanism from the fact that they may still desire to go to that place. It creates perceived limitations within the narcissist. Sometimes these perceived limitations are not caused by the parent. In some cases, the narcissist may have spoke their mind and received a negative reaction from doing this. Since then, they placed a perceived limitation upon themselves to prevent them from having to feel that way again. To prevent themselves from experiencing the guilt and shame they felt in that moment. It's the same thing if they had a negative experience in a certain place or any experience where they have said or done something which wasn't positively received by the other person or made the narcissist experience guilt and shame. Maybe they tried to achieve or obtain something and failed. It caused them to experience guilt and shame. So from that experience, they will no longer try to achieve or obtain anything in that area. There is a short story called the elephant and the chain. The elephants are tied to a small rope, the same size rope which was used to tie them when they were much younger and smaller. And at that young age it's enough to hold them but as the elephants grew up they were conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope is still preventing them from breaking away so they never even try. Like the elephants, the narcissist creates perceived limitations in their mind. They go through life hanging on to the belief that they cannot do something because they failed at it once before and it made them feel guilty and shameful. So because of these past experiences, the narcissist has perceived limitations which were created by their parents, social influences or past experiences. This is a huge problem for survivors who have narcissistic parents or are in relationships with a narcissist. If you have a narcissistic parent, they will expect you to conform to their perceived limitations. Throughout their life they were conditioned to believe that they could not do something. Now anytime that you do something that moves out of their perceived limitations it triggers them to feel intense hatred towards themselves and how they could never do that or they could never achieve or obtain due to their perceived limitations. They expect you to stay within the very perceived limitations they had to abide by throughout their lives. It's the same thing if you are in a relationship with a narcissist. Narcissists have to feel comfortable. They have a comfort zone and they do not like to move outside of it. They see you as an object or as an extension of themselves. So if you dare to move outside of the comfort zone which they have created for you they will feel uncomfortable too. It triggers them to be more narcissistic since you appear to be doing something which they could ever do. It causes the narcissist to reflect on themselves and feel intense hatred. They experience intense anger, envy and jealousy towards you. Whatever you have obtained or achieved from operating outside of their perceived limitations they now want to sabotage and destroy. They will become passive aggressive towards you but they will never actually confront you about it. Because they feel guilty and shameful that they could not operate outside of their perceived limitations the narcissist is thinking in their minds, you can't do that. I could never do that. I tried but I failed and felt shameful about it. So I never tried again. You should feel the same way and stop what you are doing.  The narcissist will be envious and jealous over whatever you have achieved or obtained. They will also be envious and jealous over your satisfaction or fulfilment. They will want to sabotage and destroy whatever you have achieved or obtained. They will also want to take revenge on you for any positive emotions, satisfaction or fulfilment you have received. This will usually be done by abuse, manipulation, devaluing you, creating smear campaigns, passive aggression, stalking and harassment. The narcissist experiences great fear and shame from ever operating outside of their perceived limitations. So they don't. They learn to adapt to them. They develop coping and defence mechanisms. They become passive aggressive to anyone who dares to operate outside of their perceived limitations. They become hateful, angry, envious and jealous towards them. I think we can learn from this behaviour as it promotes narcissism. Whenever you or someone else puts a perceived limitation onto you and tells you what you can or cannot do, it is promoted narcissism. Something to think about? I hope you enjoyed the video, please like and share your thoughts in the comments. I'll talk to you soon.


I don't know that he has any other choice either, but to be patient. I'm not quite sure who made him the spokesperson for people who have to wait. When you're a free agent and people are talking about 300, 400, $500 million, everything is highlighted on a year like this year. What have you always told me about LeBron James? It's hard to figure out how to play with LeBron. He's great, he has aura, he has magnetism to him. And when he steps on the court, the focal point goes on him and all of a sudden all those kids are gonna be on a much bigger stage than they have ever experienced. I love what Josh Hart is doing in the summer league.  Remember, Magic in his first draft, he gets Alonzo, I'm still a big fan, you're not, but it's still, I'm buying that one, I'm buying Kuzma and I'm buying Josh Hart, who looks like he could be not a star, but a star turd. Magic Johnson is absolutely correct. You remember, Skip, when he went to Miami, they started nine and eight and ended up winning 58 games. He comes back to Cleveland, they're 19 and 20, before they win 53 games. Now the difference is, Chris Bosch was in his seventh year, eighth year, DeWay, all those guys were veteran players. Now you're bringing LeBron in, who's the veteran player. I think that LeBron has actually, if you study it, shown some willingness to be patient in the past. Secondly, looking at the combination he wanted, which was an opportunity to win, a team with the flexibility and willingness to build, to win, and family, and maybe even business. I think he said, this is the only, there was no ready-made situation. I don't know that he has any other choice either, but to be patient. I saw him go to Cleveland four years ago, write a letter saying how he knows they're not ready to win right now, how he knows it's going to be a long process. And by December of that year, he was so frustrated with where the team was at that he was taking a little Miami siesta. LeBron can say he's gonna be patient and take the long view. Once the games start, he holds his teammates to a super high standard, and he's never played with the team this young. There's going to be growing pains associated with that. The person Calvin Johnson was in college and entering the NFL was the person Calvin Johnson was retiring. The person Jerry Rice was his rookie year is who Jerry Rice was his last year. T.O. was holding press conferences. In his driveway doing sit-ups, hiding sharpies, going to the star in Dallas. So the hall of fame is shocked that this is who he is. You're starting to see more and more guys speak out with gold jackets because they feel it's different space. For me, I've let T.O. know that I'm disappointing, but this is his wish. He wants to go it alone. He wants to be at his own ceremony at his alma mater, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. And that's his wish. But I don't really know what they want the hall to do. Terrell Owens was the most divisive teammate I ever covered in all my career. That's what I kept telling you. You can give me those numbers. They're spectacular numbers. They are first ballot hall of fame numbers. I give you that. But because of this, and because it wasn't off the field, it's actually on the field divisive in the locker room and the huddle wherever it is, that he wouldn't be in my hall of fame. He's not the first guy that's had to wait. He's not gonna be the last guy that's had to wait. And I'm not quite sure who made him the spokesperson for people who have to wait. Like, I don't think anybody asked him to be a spokesperson. Jerry Kramer is a personal friend of mine. University of Idaho, great. And... How's that? Alma Mater, and he has been nothing but gracious to me. That guy waited for five decades. We don't need anyone to represent him. The guys that have been snubbed by the hall, they're in the hall. The great Harry Carson, the giant slimebacker who told them to take him off the list after 10 years. He's in the hall. I see him every year there, and he's just as proud as anyone else. The thing that TO doesn't realize is, in the hall, we're just all one football team. TO took that stage and an absolute bitterness and talked and tried to explain, if you know anything about his childhood, he had a very traumatic childhood. He tried to explain, hey, listen, I know I wasn't always the best guy. It came from a place of wanting to win, even if it was nonsense. We would have bought into, at least many people would have, a reinvention of himself. And instead, he tripled down on what were the worst parts about his personality. When you're a free agent and people are talking about 300, 400, $500 million for one player and you're not running down first base, everything is highlighted on a year like this year. So that's something to watch. He's dug himself a big hole statistically and reputation will be very interesting to see what happens to Bryce Harper in the second half. He is under scrutiny. He is frustrated right now. You're right. He doesn't want to hit 214. That's not Bryce Harper. So it's all kind of piling on and Alex is right. I know this from covering these guys and I know this from talking to them and watching them. Free agent year has a different effect on different players and the world is expected of him and the 400 million is expected of him. Not so easy when things don't go so well. We're all expecting him to bounce back. I like your point. The money is going to be there. I think it's about length. I mean, listen, he's going to be 26 years old with like hall of fame kind of power. So you like the fact you're buying his prime years. But what I said about his swing now, I'm starting here from other baseball executives that do you want to project that swing out 10, 11, 12 years down the line? I don't know. Look around the game. Do you see anybody in their 30s swinging like that? The answer is no. So I think you're going to see at this point, if he doesn't change in the second half, I still think he will. But if he doesn't, shorter term, maybe four or five years with a huge average annual value, say 40 million a year. I think the numbers are there. 23 home run and 54 every hour of the break. That's not bad. He just needs to focus on being bright. So I've been using the whole line. I mean, stay within himself and just have a great second half. And I asked you that question, Kenny, because I'm looking at the nationals. If they want to keep this guy homegrown, this guy's going to be the hall of fame one day. Homegrown, make your best offer now. Give Scott board something to think about because we saw what happened last year in free agency.


Personal Finance PowerPoint Presentation. Medicare eligibility age. Prepare to get financially fit by practicing personal finance. Insurance is part of our long-term risk mitigation strategy where we follow the adage of measure twice, cut once, put in a formal process in place, looking something like, set in the goals, develop a plan to reach them, put the plan in action, review the results and repeat the process periodically. Most of this information can be found at Investopedia. What is the age for the Medicare eligibility which you can find online? Take a look at the references, resources, continue your research from there. This is by Tim Parker, updated December 21st, 2021. In prior presentations, we've been taking a look at insurance in general, moving on to medical insurance, which is a little bit more complex due to the medical industry complexity and laws and regulations related to it and the insurance around it. Now we're looking at the Medicare and Medicare eligibility in conjunction with that overall insurance discussion. What is the age for Medicare eligibility? First, we basically have a disclaimer here. This is the Investopedia disclaimer. And so if you're going to any actual products from the Investopedia website or any websites, you want to have an idea of how they're affiliated or related to those companies. But Investopedia is a place you could try to do some comparisons in certain situations. And then of course, do your own research and look at the references and resources going to the sites of the actual companies to continue your research when it comes down to the decision-making process. So we recommend the best products through an independent review process. This being Investopedia and advertisers do not influence our picks. We may receive compensation if you visit partners. We recommend. Now obviously you might say, well that sounds a little bit contradictory. They're trying to say that they're not influenced by advertisers, but anytime obviously that you're getting money from advertisement or from a company that you're promoting in some way, you would think that that would have some kind of influence. So obviously you want to keep that in mind anytime that situation is involved. Doesn't mean that the sources are not good, but it does mean that you just want to know what the sources influences are as you use them in your overall research process. So read our advertisers disclosure for more information. When you think of Medicare, you probably assume that it's for people of retirement age. That's true, but the program covers more than just those who have worked all their life. So obviously there's an age of retirement that that's usually what we think about when Medicare kicks in, but there are an expansion to Medicare and other situations as well. You might be eligible right now and not know it. Well, both beneficiaries are people aged 65 or older. So there's the age that might have been in your mind that you've been thinking about. That's 65. We had to get more nuanced on it. We had to add a little bit more complexity to it, but we couldn't just say, yeah, you're right on that one here, right? So others receive their services at a younger age due to qualifying disabilities. If you qualify for Medicare and don't know where to start, eHealth Medicare, an independent insurance broker and partner of Investopedia. So once again, this is a recommendation from Investopedia. You could choose to take a look at them if you so choose, or you could just take a look at their references and resources and go from there with your own research. So they have a licensed insurance agent. So they got the telephone number who can help connect you with the Medicaid Advantage Medicare Supplement Insurance and Prescription Drug Part D plans. So who's eligible at 65? Like Social Security, Medicare is a U.S. government program funded by tax withholding from most workers paychecks. So clearly when we think about the Social Security, there's or the payroll taxes that are withheld Social Security and Medicare being two of the big payroll taxes. The other one being the federal income taxes. Generally, we think about one from the side that we're paying it and then two on the beneficiary side. So we're paying into it. If we are employees, they're withholding payroll taxes from our wages. If we're self-employed, we pay the self-employment tax. And then at the point in time that we receive the benefits for many people past 65 would be that time. Then we're getting the benefits from the government at that point in time. So when they reach 65 or meet other eligibility requirements, they receive Medicare services. You will probably receive Medicare Part A coverage free of charge because of your payroll deductions. So again, whenever they say free of charge, when the government says, yeah, it's free of charge, we've only been charging you 6.2% plus the employer paying 6.2% of your payroll, which means your actual pay was probably lower because they had to pay the payroll taxes on that for, you know, the last 40 years, whatever. But now it's, so it's not exactly free. Obviously, if you could have not paid that 6.2% and had your employer pay you more because they didn't have to pay the 6.2% and the 1.45 for the Medicare, then you probably would have got more money and you might have been able to pay for your own insurance. But in any case, now that you're paying in and you're required to at that point in time, it's free in a sense. So but Medicare has other aspects that will likely cost you. So we got the retirees and those still working. If you paid into a retirement system that didn't withdraw Social Security or Medicare premiums, you're probably still eligible for Medicare either through your retirement system or through your spouse. So you might be in a system where you didn't pay into Medicare and certain people that work for the government, for example, might not have the same requirements to pay into like the Social Security system, for example, like teachers or something, you might be exempt for whatever reason, then you may still then have access through your retirement system or through your spouse. To receive full Medicare coverage at 65, you or your spouse must have earned enough credits to be eligible for Social Security. Each $1,470 you earn annually equals one credit, but you can only earn a maximum of four credits each year. You will receive Social Security benefits at retirement if you have earned 40 credits 10 years of work, if you earned at least $5,880 in each of those years. So it could be a little bit confusing to think about how we're putting the money into the system and how that's going to be impacting the benefits that we're going to receive possibly at the retirement age in part, because we used to think about these big programs as kind of safety net programs as opposed to like benefit programs for everyone. In other words, we used to think about them as programs that basically are for people that we're not able to save for retirement for whatever reason, possibly due to in part their lifespan growing. So they might have more years in retirement that they hadn't really planned for that they're not really working for to now basically we're thinking more of these things as a benefit program like a federal kind of benefit program that that everybody should be basically participating in or get some kind of benefit from. In other words, if you're paying in this large amount of your wages, your whole working lifetime, then the question is, should you get a benefit from that even though even if you're doing well, or is it kind of a welfare program where people would be getting the benefit if they need it? It kind of seems like it's going more towards a benefit program given the fact that the amount of withholdings are quite getting high. And and so people are and people are kind of saying that they should should receive something at the point of retirement like a benefit kind of like a federal like retirement plan. So our perspective of that has kind of evolved a bit as a country in terms of what these programs are actually doing. But that means that obviously the more money that you put into the system, you would think then the more benefit you should get if you think of it as a benefit program at the point of retirement. But if you do quite well, then you would think that that's going to max out or cap at some point in time. So it's still got like a safety net welfare program kind of component to it in that the benefits might stop at some point in time, right? And then and so that still kind of benefits more people that might be on the lower income side of things. So it gets a little bit confusing and you can do a great deal of planning, especially if you're different situations where you have a self employment and say you're married, for example, who is earning the the Social Security credits and how are you going to maximize those credits and whatnot, so that you maximize the benefits at the point in time of retirement can get a little bit confusing in certain situations. But that's the general idea. So if you continue to work beyond age 65, things get a bit more complicated. You will have to file for Medicare, but you may be eligible to keep your company's health insurance policy as your primary insurer. So in other words, if you're still working, the idea here it used to be, and this is another kind of confusion with this whole system, because when you put in a system that sets an age limit like a cap at 65, things change over time. People used to die around 65 or 70, right? Now people are living way past that regularly. So it's quite likely that you might still want to be working after 65 and you're not, you know, retired at that point in time, which kind of messes up the calculation for the for these benefit programs, which assume that you're like close to death at that time, because in the 1930s, the average person didn't, you know, wasn't going that far in any case. But so if you continue to work beyond age 65, things get a bit more complicated. You will have to file for Medicare, but you may be able to keep your company's health insurance policy as your primary insurer, or your company sponsored insurance plan might force you to make Medicare primary or other conditions may apply to you. There's a lot to consider. That's for sure that makes it prudent to talk to a person knowledgeable in Medicare about your specific choices. So clearly you would like to talk to someone once again, independent. You want to be thinking about people's relationships too. If they're advising you to do something, do they have a financial interest in what they're advising you to do. And it would be nice if you could talk to someone that's independent, possibly a friend, a lawyer, someone in the healthcare community possibly, and maybe even pay that person a salary just to get advice, which is not contingent on any decision you're making, just advice and then go make your decision. This would be your human resources department or a Medicare representative. Human resources can be nice to give you your options, but notice human resources usually will not give you much advice because they don't want to get sued. So they don't want to give you any individual advice about your actual health decisions or your tax decision or your retirement planning decision, because that's outside the realm oftentimes of just doing the human resources for the company, which is really geared to not getting sued. So the Medicare representative could be a good place to go. Spouses, maybe you were a stay-at-home parent or spouse and you have no work history. Now, obviously you do have work history if you're a stay-at-home parent, but you don't have the kind of work history that could be tracked for social security with the money coming directly out of the paycheck with your social security number going to the social security to the government. So you can still receive Medicare benefits at age 65 based on your spouse's work record. So if your spouse has the required 40 credits and you've been married for at least one continuous year, you qualify for benefits. People in same-sex marriages have the identical rights as any other married couple to be covered under their spouse's Medicare benefits. If you're divorced and don't qualify for Medicare under your own work record, you may qualify based on your ex-spouse's record as long as your marriage lasted at least 10 years and you are currently single. Disability benefits, you may be eligible for both full benefits before the age of 65 if you have a qualifying disability. So here's where kind of the deviation comes in with just that age requirement. How to qualify. So to receive Medicare disability benefits, you must first receive Social Security Disability Insurance. That's the SSDI benefits for 24 months. There is usually a five-month waiting period after a worker or widow, widower is labeled as disabled before they can receive SSDI benefits. During this waiting period, the individual may be eligible for coverage under an employer's health plan or if they're no longer employed through COBRA, C-O-B-R-A, if a person has an end-stage renal disease, that's the ESRD or Amatrophic Lateral Sclerosis, I'll just call it sclerosis, ALS, even easier just call it that, which is more commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease. That's even easier. I knew Lou Gehrig's, not personally, but I know that guy. So there's no 24-month waiting period for benefits then. A person diagnosed with ESRD can generally begin receiving benefits three months after a course of regular dialysis or after kidney transplant. Meanwhile, as soon as a person diagnosed with ALS begins collecting Social Security Disability benefits, they are enrolled in Part A and Part B of the Medicare benefits at that point. So what if you still work? So what if you're still working? I don't want to stop working. I can't at this point in time. I tried, but then this whole COVID thing happened and I got to go back to work now, I guess. So you can work and receive Medicare disability benefits for a transition period under Social Security Work incentives and ticket to work programs. There are three timeframes to understand. The first, the trial work period is a nine-month period during which you can test your ability to work and still receive full benefits. The nine months don't have to be consecutive. The trial period continues until you have worked for nine months within a 60-month period. Once those nine months are used up, you move into the next timeframe, the extended period of eligibility. For the next 36 months, you can still receive benefits in any month you aren't earning substantial gainful activity. So now we've got this term, substantial gainful activity, meaning how much gainful like revenue, how much money are you earning, for example. Finally, you can still receive free Medicare Part A benefits and pay the premium for Part B for at least 93 months after the nine-month trial period if you're still qualified as disabled. If you want to continue receiving Part B benefits, you have to request them in writing. If you're disabled, you may incur extra expenses that those without disabilities do not. Expenses such as paid transportation to work, mental health counseling, prescription drugs, and other qualified expenses might be deducted from your monthly income before the determination of benefits, which may allow you to earn more and still qualify for benefits. So what's the bottom line with all this stuff? That's the horizontal mark that we put underneath. That's what the bottom line is. Any case, to see if you qualify for benefits, go to the Medicare.gov's eligibility and premium calculator. There's a link to that here, or you can just check it out Medicare.gov, Medicare.gov, V for victory over Medicare questions. So that's where you can check your eligibility for benefits and get an estimate of your monthly premium. If your situation is not be covered in the calculator, contact Social Security to discuss your case and get the assistance you need. Social Security representatives will help you understand your particular situation and guide you through the next steps. That's the bottom line.
