Welcome back home back versus still why the morning and we have gotten to the health conversation today We want to talk about we wanted to talk about Trauma management, but we're changing that a little bit and talking about recovering from drag addiction But we'll touch on a bit on trauma management because we had mentioned it to you The guest that we have in studio is an expert of both She is a consulting therapist and coach. She goes by the name of faith mohanja. Kari. What's an effect? Glad to have you with us. I'm happy to be here. All right. So you're consulting Therapist, yes, tell us a little bit about that. What's your experience with? Handling at trauma management, you know trauma patients and Also people that have had addictions with drugs not just drugs, but all types of addiction so recovering from addiction It's been an interesting experience Because I get to interact with so many different people and families And I believe as a society. We are becoming more cautious of mental health as a whole And that's an amazing thing as compared to before when it used to be something that was stigmatized Yeah, yes, so we are definitely heading to the right direction Okay, amazing. So we had promised our viewers that would talk about trauma management But we have switched things up a bit We'll probably talk about it next time when you come, but we went to talk about dry No recovering from addiction but before we get into that because we had promised them tell us a little bit about trauma management There's a question that my co-host had asked before he left the set he asked there's Trauma that people experience in childhood affect them later or does wrong parenting cost trauma to children? It does it does A lot of people that grow up in dysfunctional families actually end up Being affected in their adulthood More so when they undergo Negligence, you know all absent parents They end up being affected and there can also be a sexual assault on children Which will definitely result in trauma in their adulthood and it affects them in a variety of ways for example, if you undergo trauma You are less likely to be able to form healthy relationships in your adulthood And even if you do it will be a struggle to maintain them So at the end of the day even when you talk about Productivity at work it becomes a struggle because you have been affected You have to go back and like Fix that so that you don't become fixated at that point and that's why it's important to seek professional help Whenever someone has undergone something traumatic in their childhood Because a lot of how we are in our adulthood is a result of our childhood You know, it's usually say that The child is the parent of the adults You know, so who you are right now is a result of your upbringing you are raised You know, so if you are not if you did not get the affection and the attention You needed while growing up They'll definitely be a problem Okay So what kind of trauma do what causes trauma or what does trauma look like for someone who doesn't really can't really get You know an understanding of trauma. How does it look like? trauma is just an event Happens to a person and this person is unable to move past that event That means it could have been tragic or sudden Something that this person did not expect and so they end up struggling with coming to terms with whatever happened Yes, for example a Lady who goes through rape? She'll be traumatized because this is something that has affected her Entireity, you know, so she ends up struggling trusting men trusting herself Yeah, okay, and does trauma have a connection to addiction what we're talking about next it can can it lead to addictions it can and Most people who are traumatized end up trying to self-medicate and in the process they end up becoming addicted to these drugs for example a Man who was in the military war and Is discharged becomes a veteran is most likely to try Self-medicating to reduce the flashbacks that come as a result of the trauma And by doing this they might actually end up becoming addicted to it was alcohol or whatever drug of trees They were using to self-medicate There's a likelihood they will become hooked to it because they will want to get that is You know that relief from the experience that they went through so they keep on going back to using drugs Okay, so now With addiction we have said they keep on get going back. Maybe you can lay a clear distinction between being an addict and just You know being a user If there's a difference what to what extent you get to be an addict We usually say there are social users and they are addicts when we talk about a social user This is a person that is a functional user Of their drug of choice that means they use these drugs, but they are still able to function They're still able to go to work. They're still able to be there for their families But when we talk about addiction one thing that most people don't actually realize is that addiction is a disease So it's not something that a person can Fight against and it's not something that a person wants for themselves Yeah, because when you talk about addiction this person cannot do without their drug of choice completely Yes All right And is that a way that they can get over an addiction by themselves in their own efforts? There are some who do but It's not usually easy and for most people they will require more they'll require more support. They'll require more help Rehabilitation because a lot of people who try to get over addiction by themselves They actually find themselves falling back into using and not that You know at this point when a person is an addict their willpower Is not there they can no longer like Commit themselves to stop and just stop They will need to go under the therapy sessions the rehabilitation Yeah, okay able to stop. All right, and we'll get to the To the rehabilitation process, but let's talk of the different forms of addiction that are there apart from that drags What other form of addiction does someone get into? Yeah, there are also behavioral addictions Apart from the drug addiction. There is behavioral addiction like like let's say sex addiction Gambling gambling is a form of behavioral addiction. So when we talk about behavioral addiction, the only difference Between it and drug addiction is that when it comes to behavioral addiction This person cannot do without that behavior and they find themselves Repeatedly doing that same behavior even though it produces negative results. Yes so they just you know, it's easy to to associate Addiction with drags and alcohol, but speaking of behavioral addiction some people You know as you've said Get into sexual addictions and some don't know if it's actually a result of maybe a trauma that they experienced But you've said it could be a result of trauma at the end of the day and also Gambling they look at it as something I believe gambling banter Betting could be in the same bracket. They add they are in the same bracket. Yes. So They get into it and they see it as something that they're doing to help themselves But it's actually an addiction that they've gotten into which is not beneficial to themselves. Yes. So is there any Between probably not but let me just ask is there any that's better than the other or easier to handle than the other behavioral versus The substance abuse addiction I wouldn't say so because when we look at both of them the Consequences of both are really dire, you know, because when you talk about behavioral addiction a person can end up spending all they have On these habits that they are unable to control So they can end up using all their finances to sustain that habits Let's say if it's gambling, you know, there are people who give away even their houses their land Just to satisfy that urge and when you come to drug addiction the same happens So the consequences of both are really dire and negative. So I don't think there's one that is better than the other It is just that people who have behavioral addictions Most times don't realize as you have said that they are actually addicted to something Okay, that is not good for them. All right. So now How do you what is a process? How do you handle? cases where Interhabilitation basically take taking or walking with a patient who has a Drug addiction or any form of addiction. How does the process look like? I Believe the first step is always to help these clients or this person Understand that whatever they are having or whatever they are struggling with Is not their fault, you know to help them come out of that denial because most of them come into therapy Yeah, and a lot of denial they still don't want to accept that this is where this Addiction has brought them actually and most of them it requires them to hit rock bottom for them to like To agree that things are out of control So the first step is usually to help them overcome the denial So the they need to fast to know that they have the addiction Yes, okay, and is it before you continue? Is it also paramount for them to know why the reason why they got addicted to it? It is it is and that's why during therapy sessions It's important for a therapist to find the underlying issue because there's always the underlying issue I don't believe that someone just takes up one day and becomes an addict There must be something that has gotten them to that point. Okay, so now yeah, take you were taking us through the process So now yeah after that after they have actually accepted and And moved past the denial it becomes easier to help them even understand what you are seeing the underlying issue Whatever has brought them to this point and after that You just work with the client to move past that You cycle educate them About the addiction because they require knowledge, you know when you have a problem you need to understand Just like when you go to hospital and you find out you have cancer They will give you cycle education on what that is and how to go about it just helping them understand the triggers What they should avoid even after the rehabilitation? How they should manage their lives because we always say Addiction is not something that can be cured, but it's something that can be managed Okay, that's a very good point there. I thought it could be cured like I thought someone can totally completely get over an addiction But it can be managed. So you okay what expound on that? Yes, so When it comes to addiction A person who is addicted let's say to alcohol for the rest of their lives They they stand a chance of falling back into using so it's just like you know We say that addiction is a chronic disease Yeah, we say it's a chronic disease. That means it's something that this person will live with for the rest of their lives They will just learn how to live with it. I believe it's just like Let's say high blood pressure Diabetes, you know this chronic diseases. You just learn how to live with it. But when it comes to addiction it's actually It's a bit tricky because if it's not well managed it can end up leading to the person's death Yeah, all right Okay, very interesting. So now you've taken the person to past the denial stage. They've gotten to understand the triggers and What's then the line factors of it and then now with that Just the sessions continue. That's just yes. What happens? Yes Yes, until they are able to stand on the by you know, until they are able to manage this by themselves But we keep on working with them because you have said it's a lifetime disease So even as counselors we keep on working with these people even after we complete the sessions Yes, okay, and This happening is it in a rehab center or can for an addict or can can you have like a day in you know Patients and outpatient rather. Yeah, do you have to to be an inpatients? You can be an I believe it's usually more of what the family feels is Flexible for them or right for them So they are patients who are inpatients and they are patients who are outpatients. So it also depends on the severity of the illness So how far has it progressed? Because addiction is also progressive All right. Yeah, it starts from a point where they are able to control it and then it ends up being something They can't control. Okay, so a person who is unable to like totally Live their lives normally we usually recommend in patient treatments. All right, so now There's this thing that people normally say that you can't really help an addict if they don't want to be helped Is it is it true Do you is it doesn't have to come from within that you really want To get out of their addiction because otherwise you'll sleep back Even after you have recovered Of some sorts it does actually For you to be able to help an addict they have to be willing as you have say the force has to come from within No matter how much this person wants to change for someone else There will always be a likelihood of them falling back But when they decide that they want to do it for themselves They are more likely to succeed at it So even if you force an addict to go through Treatment and their mind is made up that they will not change even at the end of the rehabilitation period They'll still go back to using until they decide that they want to do it for themselves so what does the family do in such an instance, you know your Your family member your brother your sister is in a bad state and you need to help them And that's the much you can go take them to rehab. So how do they handle such situations? Do you help them in such instances, you know, we can always do only as much as we are able to do You can't do past what someone is Allowing you to do for them and so by the family just taking that first step and bringing their loved one to their rehab But their loved one is not willing to still move past that They might complete the period of rehabilitation But the next day that they are released they go back to using so we usually you know We usually say that they are Unfortunate to no matter what you do. They will always fall back into using and there's nothing About it Have you ever caught in a case where someone was unwilling, but then they get Into rehab and through the counseling. Maybe they somehow change their mind. Yes quite a few because Also exposure to all that psychoeducation helps some people to actually see that there was a problem because what usually limits a lot of People from accepting treatment is the aspect of denial the aspect of there is no problem with me, you know, my family is just Getting into my business unnecessarily But when you sit down with these clients and through the sessions you help them see Where their life was heading? There are some who actually have a change of heart and they end up like they end up Sustaining the journey of recovery Okay I mean then do you have examples of successful outcomes that you have seen? You know, you know some amazing spectacular different from the others that you've seen in the patients that you've had Yes, yes quite a few and it's actually fulfills my heart when a Client goes through my hands and after that I see them You know picking up their lives and moving on to become what they wanted to be I've had quite a few because we usually do follow-ups Yes, so when they come and we get to talk and you know whenever they are stuck they can always call So it's like in the long run. We are their support system. And it's just amazing when a client Becomes sober for a long period of time and they are able to sustain it because you also get to see the Happiness in their families and it's an amazing thing. It's so satisfying No, amazing clearly and you you know you You first lights up when you say that so now Many survivors or many people that have been through rehab and have recovered or at least I'm managing it as you've said That it's usually hard now after we have especially those that are inpatient You've come from this environment where you have you believe yourself You have changed and you go back and you face the same conditions Maybe it was just you taking yourself, but still the triggers are there I don't know if this are the triggers. Maybe it was your family The kid the kills that is there or the people how they perceive you this is an alcoholic even when you change You still an alcoholic You know, what would you what do you say to that? When the clients are still in sessions, we usually prepare them Psychologically for what lies on the other side even after they complete the first thing usually tell them is that The fact that they are in rehab Their loved ones are still out there and you know in most cases Addicts cause so much pain and suffering to their family members and as a result even the family has become dysfunctional and sick So the fact that this addict is being treated and the family is still out there There will still be some bit of mistrust even after this person has changed So it's something that we tell them to expect so that they won't be taken aback and We usually try as much as possible to do as many family therapies. Yeah, I want to do ask about the therapies Yes, so what when the patients is In rehab the family is also going through therapy at the same time. Yes It's important so that even when even them they can get to understand What this addiction is because most of the families actually think It's this person not wanting to be serious with life They want to change.  Yes, so when we come to triggers we usually say they are three It might be people the people they used to associate with maybe the friends they used to use with Maybe the family as you have seen there are family members who can be triggers We talk about places the places they used to go to use and the places that Maybe if the home environment is not really conducive for them That can be a trigger and the third thing is usually things When we talk about things we refer to, you know, let's say Bottles of alcohol Okay. Yes Let's say for smokers They usually have I think ashtrays Yes, so such things can be triggers So they have to do away with this if it's about changing Environments for a while until they stabilize after the rehabilitation If it's about friends just avoiding the negative people even if it's family members You know because you are able you're able to walk away from people who are not good for you So we encourage that putting away things that can remind them about using and trigger them into wanting to use Okay, so it's completely Disassociating with things that will get them back to what they're actually trying to run away from or recover from exactly Okay. Amazing. Now before we close this we've really talked about, you know Drag addiction alcohol addiction the things that can be seen, you know Because when you're addicted to alcohol you probably see you on the streets so many, you know We'll probably see you reacting, but there's this hidden Addictions that we have not talked much about and this are the behavioral addictions I don't know if gambling can be seen I think maybe it depends if you expose it choose to Expose it because you can just be betting Chinayamaji and you're just losing On this end or winning but still you're addicted to it and we also have sexual addiction which is very Personal it can be very personal only the people that you associate with know But your family might not know about it and it's actually eating you up So how do you advise them or how do you advise the family? Are there things to that point out that this person has an addiction for someone to see so that they actually point them out and Help them with rehabilitation. Yes. Yes, there are things that can actually Point out that this person needs help one of them is when this person starts Separating themselves or isolating themselves from their loved ones when they start using all their finances to finance whatever their addiction is and For some people they even end up Starting to steal from their loved ones or their friends in order to just have the money to finance their habits when there is a Some become really irritable whenever you bring that up, you know If I'm drinking excessively and every time my family wants to bring it up I get really defensive and angry and irritable. It shows. There's a problem Because I already know there's a problem. So I'm just being defensive to like Block them from bringing it up again. So such things are actually a sign that this person needs help Right. Yeah, amazing. What do you what do you say to to those that are going through an addiction and They know it. Maybe they are afraid of coming out and saying that I have a problem and I need help Yeah, what what do you say to them? And this is your camera. You can speak directly For anyone who is going through an addiction of any kind. There is always help out there You don't have to walk the journey alone and I would encourage us even as a society To embrace these people and just show them more grace, you know, because If we keep on condemning them, we are not helping them even as a family if you gang up against this person and you keep on Trying to guilt-trip them. It is likely that it won't work. It will just make the situation worse So it's for us to become more embracing Even with their weaknesses and just more supportive so that they can feel They can feel like they can or they are able to seek help Because support system is very important. There are things that we can't walk alone. There are journeys which we can't walk alone Yeah, and what about the I'm still on the behavioral addiction because they're not really much talks about How do you come out because you know, it's it's a bitch, you know It's almost normal to say I have a drug addiction and I'm addicted to alcohol But it's almost shameful to say I have a sexual addiction. Who do you approach? How do you go about it? Is it the same rehab that that they go to with those that are addicted to? Drugs and substance. Yes. Yes, it's the same because for both the aspects of Compulsive using or compulsive engaging in the habits and you know, the lack of control They are just then controllable edges. These aspects are the same for both behavioral and drug addiction So we treat them both in rehabilitation centers. They are not like special rehabs for behavioral and drug addiction Okay, yes, and that that prescribed medication or is it just psychosocial therapy? They are also Medication for both. Yes. We call it Pharmotherapy, pharmacotherapy. Mm-hmm. Yes. So they are usually prescribed by psychiatrists. All right. Yes Okay, thank you very much For the wonderful insight that you've shared with us faith I don't know if you have any final word that you want to say as you share with us your social media handles again That's your color. Yes so I believe we can do more we can do more as you have said There's so much stigma when it comes to some of these issues as a society we can we can become more More embracing as I've said because These people they go through a lot. Yeah, and their families go through a lot And in the case that a person is an addict mostly even the family becomes Stigmatized or shamed by the society, which is not really a good thing So we can move past that as a society and grow into Awareness of these issues because they happen. It's not something we can close our eyes to Yes, what are your social handles? In Instagram Therapist faith muhunger Facebook faith muhunger. Yes. Okay. Thank you very much. Thank you That has been our faith muhunger who's a consulting therapist and coach talking to us about Recovering from addiction. I hope you have taken something from it if you're an addict There is hope for you or if you know someone who's an addicts We need to show more grace to them and to their families because it's a condition like any other Thank you for staying with us through this conversation There's still more coming your way brand soccer will be coming on next with a very very interesting Conversation that you want to be a part of the hashtag is one the morning at 25 for channel See you on the other side


In the midst of a fierce cosmic battle, Dr. Wong and Alice emerge through the mysterious rift, finding themselves aboard the Millennium Falcon, a legendary vessel. Around them, TIE fighters swarm and blasters light up the starry expanse. They arrive amidst chaos, gripping tightly to their newfound reality. Han Solo and Chewbacca, masters of this enigmatic craft, steer through the tumultuous tempest. TIE fighters close in, their fiery onslaught, painting a vivid scene of peril. The Millennium Falcon's acrobatics evade destruction, showcasing a dance of survival. Dr. Wong clutches the small cheek coil, its radiant glow intensifying, an enigma in their hands. The cheek coil pulsates, its secrets beckoning to be unraveled. In an instant, they vanish into the brilliance of another realm, their destination cloaked in mystery. Dr. Wong and Alice materialize on a desolate island on the remote planet Octo, surrounded by the tumultuous waters of the ocean. Their abrupt arrival leaves them bewildered, and the eerie tranquility of their new surroundings is unsettling. With no immediate answers, they explore the island cautiously. Their senses alert to every nuance of this strange place, as they venture deeper into the island's mysteries. An unexpected encounter awaits. The spectral figure of Yoda appears, his presence enigmatic yet welcoming. Without words, he guides them to a destination of profound significance, setting their journey on an uncertain but purposeful path. On Octo's enigmatic shores, the mysteries of the Force and the cheek coil intertwine, ushering them into a realm where the answers they seek may be as elusive as the horizon itself. In this realm of uncertainty, they must harness their newfound connection to the Force to navigate the challenges that lie ahead. Under the serene skies of Octo, Dr. Wong and Alice find themselves under the tutelage of the spectral Jedi master, Yoda. His silent wisdom becomes their beacon, illuminating a path shrouded in mystery. The ancient Jedi imparts his knowledge of the Force, guiding them in the art of connection, balance, and the ways of the Jedi. They undertake rigorous training, honing their abilities with determination and a shared sense of purpose. Lightsabers, the weapon of the Jedi, become an extension of their resolve as they master the art of combat. Yet their journey holds a unique twist, unveiling the mysteries of the cheek coil. In a sacred cave on Octo, they discover rare crystals, a vital component for constructing their lightsabers. With guidance from Yoda, they carefully construct their lightsabers. Dr. Wong's lightsaber emits a radiant golden glow, a symbol of his deep connection to the Force's ancient wisdom and enlightenment. Alice's lightsaber, in contrast, radiates a vibrant teal-green light, a testament to her intuitive understanding of the Force and her unwavering commitment to justice. The cheek coil's power resonates within their new lightsabers, enhancing their connection to the Force and becoming a testament to their growth. In the tranquil surroundings of Octo, the power of the Force binds them to a destiny filled with promise and uncertainty. The journey continues as they strive to unlock the cheek coil's true potential and embrace their role in the grand tapestry of the Force. But as they hone their skills and deepen their connection to the Force, one question lingers in the air like a whispering breeze. What other secrets does Octo hold, waiting to be unveiled? On Octo, Dr. Wong and Alice's training under the guidance of Yoda deepens their connection to the Force and their understanding of the cheek coil's potential. Their lightsabers, infused with the cheek coil's power, serve as constant reminders of their commitment to the Jedi path. Yet as each day passes, the enigmatic traveler's warning continues to haunt their thoughts. Driven by a shared curiosity and the need to protect the cheek coil, they embark on a quest to uncover the true nature of the cheek coil aura. Their journey leads them to the ancient Jedi archives on Octo, where ancient texts and holographic records hold the key to unlocking the cheek coil aura's secrets. As they delve deeper into the archives, they unearth the cheek coil aura's origins. A relic from a distant galaxy, capable of manipulating time and the very essence of the Force itself. Their understanding grows, but so does the weight of their responsibility. The cheek coil aura must not fall into the wrong hands. As the days turn into weeks, a sense of urgency grips them. The traveler's warning echoes in their minds, urging them to act swiftly. Their journey takes an unexpected turn when they decipher clues hidden within the texts, a map to a hidden cave on Octo. Intrigued and determined, they follow the map's guidance, which leads them deep into the island's rugged terrain. Inside the hidden cave, they make a discovery that sends shivers down their spines. An ancient Jedi starship, long forgotten and hidden from the annals of history. Its design resembles that of a Jedi starfighter, a relic from an era long past. The discovery fills them with wonder and excitement. With their newfound knowledge and the cheek coil's power, they activate the starship, its engines humming to life. Yet, as they step aboard the vessel, a peculiar sensation washes over them. A sense of the starship's own sentience, its ancient intelligence awakened. With a shared purpose in their hearts, Dr. Wong and Alice find themselves not alone in this endeavor. The starship, as if sensing their quest, takes charge. A hidden launch shaft concealed within the mountain is revealed. Without hesitation, the ancient vessel ascends, breaking free from the cave's embrace. They gaze in astonishment at the world they leave behind, the luminous shores of Akto, now reduced to a distant memory. As the starship breaches the boundaries of their familiar world, they embark on a journey into the great unknown. Their sense of confusion mingling with awe, their destination remains a mystery, a realm beyond the known, where the answers to their quest may lie, and the starship's ancient wisdom shall be their guide.


Hello, this is your host, Roland Bhatia, and today we are talking to Christian Luz, creator, founder, and CEO of Create.io. What is Create.io? Create.io specializes in distributed SQL databases that help customers in querying and storing machine data. So, let's go and meet Luz. We started in 2013 and released a product in 2014 on GitHub as an open source product. We're based in San Francisco, Berlin, and in Austria. And our product is a real-time SQL database specifically built for machine data use cases. So machine data means all types of automatic data that is produced from sensor logs, from infrastructure, from variables, GPS devices, and all of that. And the characteristics of machine data means you have fire hoses of data, all kinds of data coming from different kind of sources at very high speed from highly concurrent channels. And the data is complex. It's not just, let's say, a temperature reading. It's actually a topology of a sensor that is in a JSON document that you need to store. And then you have to access this in real-time. So a traditional approach would be you use a relational database and a NoSQL database to solve that issue because you need to query stuff in SQL and you need to scale out the when stable on NoSQL. But that means you have to run at least two, maybe three different databases. And we offer a solution where you can store all of that in one database. And you query that in standard SQL. And that's basically the advantage of CREATE and also compared to cloud-only solutions, CREATE DB runs hybrid.  How much of your code is open source? So we offer a full version of the product that is open source under patchy2. And why are we here at DockerCon? So firstly, our database is built on a shared nothing architecture. So it is natively cloud enabled and it's natively perfect to run in a Dockerized environment or Kubernetes because you can deploy a full database of Docker in just a single container. So you basically just need to say Docker run great and you have a distributed database running when you launch more containers that can see each other. It's super simple to deploy and manage. And so we think, as everybody is talking about modernizing traditional apps, we think the database will be just following that. And compared to other solutions where you have different kinds of containers and dependencies and you need to attach volumes and stuff to make a containerized database environment with CREATE you just deploy a simple container. And because you asked on the product differentiation on the enterprise side, so we do offer, as the open source version obviously is free and open, we offer on top an enterprise product that has a different set of features specifically built for machine data use cases. So going beyond the traditional SQL database approach. So for example, you have an MQTT broker built into the database. You have security and access control and let's say production relevant features are in the enterprise edition as well as the possibility to get a 24-7 SLA agreement from us. Can you talk a bit about what kind of customers are using your products? Before we maybe talk about the specific markets we address, the general pain customers have before they choose CREATE is twofold. Very often, they simply run into a scaling problem with their traditional database. This is very often a traditional SQL database. For example, MySQL, Postgres, Microsoft SQL Server, but also Oracle. And while they're with a scale up approach, you may solve some of the scalability issues. At some point you can't anymore. It gets either too expensive or too complex. It breaks at some point. And here basically CREATE is a solution as it allows you to automatically chart the data, fully replicated, highly available. And for the developer it just feels like a Postgres server from how he's programming it. However, it's actually a fully scalable cluster in the back end. And the second category of customers that choose CREATE are the ones I touched before. So you have very often in the IoT and manufacturing use cases you have very big event tables like billions and hundreds of billions of records you collect, but you also have relational data that you need to somehow refer to and enrich the data maybe. And traditionally this is done by the relational stuff in MySQL Postgres thing and the other stuff in NoSQL database, maybe Cassandra or Elastic or Mongo. But this means you have two systems that you have to sync and to have to maintain. And then with CREATE you get rid of that. And this is not only easier to run because it's one database. It also significantly reduces the cost because you have a smaller footprint in the cloud and you can use just any developer to run a cluster. You don't need a specialist for that. And the type of customers using CREATE for that where we see the biggest and strongest traction currently is in IoT and Industry 4.0. Let's say all the digitization projects. Second, cybersecurity. So software providers that offer cloud security solutions. We have a couple of customers there. And then you have this, let's call it mobility use cases. So this ranges from a golf app that NBC runs successfully in the U.S. with 4 million users with every golf player is tracked with his GPS data and provided in a real-time service to fleet management when it's more than just the simple tracking of a time series data when it's basically the requirement to run more complex queries. So we're often replacing also time series databases that allow you to capture data fast and also basically plot a nice time series chart of a particular matrix. But in the moment when you actually have to interactively run queries or thousands of people have to run queries and you have to enrich this data or you have to make joins and complex queries this time series databases are not capable to. So it's basically the next level then. And that's also a big use case for us. I see that a lot of these customers are from the IoT space. So how many of these customers are from the consumer IoT space versus the industrial IoT space? So I would say currently most of our customers are either industrial IoT manufacturing production and stuff and providers of consumer IoT solutions. So we have one customer that provides for end users a back end so smartwatches, sleep trackers, fitness trackers can offer app service and they are doing this as an OEM to those vendors and they are using us as well. So we directly don't have obviously consumer service or operating that space but we provide IoT platform providers with a scalable SQL solution. I recall earlier you mentioned that some bottling companies are also using your solutions. Can you talk a bit about that? That's an interesting use case. Yeah, one of our really exciting customers and we're at DockerCon showing this the first time publicly now is a company named Alpla. They are very big like 18,000 people, 180 factories in 45 countries and they produce basically the plastic bottle. They produce in the US the Coca-Cola plastic bottles and their factories are very dislocated because they have to be exactly where the Coca-Cola is filled into the bottle so the empty bottles have to transport, not to be transported. So they are produced at the bottler site and that's why they have a lot of factories and for them it's a very modern company and they exist for like 30 years and they optimized like every process in this company to its perfection so they're using lean production, Six Sigma, everything has been super optimized but they cannot get any more efficient and they knew that the next step they can take to be more efficient is basically digitalization and so they started a project in the US to collect all their production data from the sensors of these production machines in real time using Docker as a mechanism to deploy all of these applications and then this data is from all these different factories is collected, sent to the cloud to create database and create then powers basically interactive dashboards for a 24-7 team that they have, they call it Mission Control and this Mission Control remotely manages all these production lines and looks where there is a problem and so they can basically adjust the production before it goes out of the tolerance and waste is produced because once plastic is wasted it's wasted and that's a really interesting use case for Docker and for Crate so deploying the database in a Docker container deploying the apps in Docker containers having a quick and simple rollout in all these different factories and at the same time having a real time powered production management system What are the next big challenges that you see as you move forward? For us it's always a challenge and every customer that we can publicly talk about helps of course, it's always a challenge for a new technology especially for a database to get enough traction so why we passed already 2 million downloads we have more than a thousand clusters running globally and more and more can publicize really cool production use cases as the one with Alpleid just mentioned or we also have Sky High in the valley a security company with a more than 100 nodes create cluster this helps to get credibility because the big challenge of course is that there are so many database companies on the market it's very hard for developers and DevOps to really see through the jungle and pick the right database and we think for the next generation of challenges the explosion of IoT data and at the same time to have a compatible, sequel compatible option that's something that will help us and the main challenge is really to bring out the word and have users talk about it and see more and more use cases so more and more people trust in this technology and use it so DockerCon was great for us because like on the first reception evening couple of folks came to the booth and said hey we're using you guys since one year in production and because of this whole open source thing we had no clue about them, never heard about them and we even have a customer called Coltrick a very successful company in the US doing service they deployed us in six data centers and we're running in a significant part of their backend and they just told us when they basically released it and just informed us and that's the beauty of open source but of course for us also a challenge because we need to grab these guys make them write about it make them talk about it because obviously if a developer hears ALPLA, Skyhack, Coltrick is using Crate that's pretty significant and trustworthy Since you're heavily into open source world this is a question that I would like to ask you I recall my early journalism days where we used to educate companies, organizations and people about the benefits of open source that why they should use open source nowadays almost everybody is using open source they've created a new set of problems the biggest problem is that most of these people don't really understand how open source works they use it but they don't know how the whole ecosystem works how you have to contribute back how you should engage with the community how you should enable your developers to go out and interact with the developers so my question to you is have you come across any customers who really don't understand open source and what kind of challenges do you see there and how do you help them solve this problem? Yeah, I think you're absolutely right there is a big change that happened and is happening like it used to be the case that you have these big purchasing departments with the CIO and some sub-heads that take like the big decision how we do this this totally shifted from my point of view so the power is now with very good developers and DevOps experts and they would, because of open source it's available, they just go out there they try other technology they play around, they figure out it works and then they kind of bottom up put it in the organization and still the top guy has to decide of course he's the guy who signs the purchase order or decides technically and strategically on it but he would not go against all these guys who would say hey we think this is the best thing we should do and this is the total shift that happened so the distribution and the sales force kind of approach changed you need a sales force of course because in the end you need to sell it and we also need to convert open source users to paying users to be able to sustain the open source product but it's a great, it works in both directions and for some customers especially bigger companies it's a challenge, you're right they somehow try to make you produce custom code and they create dependencies that you would never propose and you try to talk them out of it but we have projects for example where customers where they ask us basically to produce code that glues their solution with our solution and we agree on a shared source agreement where they use this code but also we can reuse this code without like obviously custom secret pieces but very often it's just glue code and this is then how we can either re-open source it or at least use it with other commercial projects and I think that's a big shift that is happening also for bigger companies they value now, they value this and for us for example as a database company I think we would not exist without open source because I spoke once to the SVP of Engineering of Sky High when they informed us they have chosen Crate and they started I think with a 10 node cluster it's now north in 100 nodes cluster and I thanked him and said how did you really end up using us and he said well you did this trick of no sequel and sequel but I had our team doing a hackathon on your code base so they basically reviewed the code and they gained the trust that this is like serious work and this was more important to them that we were like a big company and they started trusting on this and grew with us obviously over the last two years but I think without open source if this would have been a closed source thing it would have been very hard if not impossible but now these customers know it's work, it works it has a quality to code and even if this company goes down the code stays still there and other people likely take it over or it restarts somehow because I think we reached this critical mass of traction now with millions of downloads and more than a thousand clusters running globally That was a great conversation and I hope that we'll see each other again in some future open source event Thank you very much Don't forget to subscribe to this channel on YouTube and on SoundCloud and don't forget to follow us on Twitter Thanks for watching and see you next time


Alright, we gotta turn the water on. Welcome to the bathroom, giving the boys a bath behind me, but before we get their cute mugs on camera, let's do the comment of the week. Alright. Okay, hold on one second, buddy. A shout out. Two. Oh, this is just amazing. This is amazing. Alright. Thank you, Diane, for sending a postcard to Peelbox1779, Englewood, Colorado, 80150. She says, Seth, saw this postcard and who did I think of? You and Bridget. I love your blog. When I miss it because summer is crazy busy. I get it, Diane. Don't worry. It feels like I'm reconnecting with a long lost friend when I finally get to watch again. Love from Nebraska. Diane. So, the comment of the week goes out to Diane again. Who sent the postcard? Diane, thank you so, so much. It is a beautiful image on the front of Mother Teresa. Beautiful. Thank you, Diane. She wrote, in the comment of the week, one day ago, I want to say that when I watch your blog, I don't do it for entertainment, although I am always entertained and delighted. I watch because in this crazy YouTube world, I feel like we're friends, even though we have never met. And the reason I check in with friends isn't to be entertained, but to reach out and say hello and to hear what is going on in their lives. So, Seth, hello, my friend. Sounds like your life is in the busy season. Let me pray for you and your family, my friend. Blessings. Diane, thank you, thank you, thank you for taking the time, as always, to comment. I think that's at least your second comment of the week. And so, oh, thank you. And somebody next. Oh, oh, yeah. Well, I have to see. Yeah. Okay, guys, make sure you dunk your heads to get the sweat off, because remember you played hard at the park? Thursday or Friday? I think Friday. I think Friday. Friday of this week. It's Monday right now, well, Tuesday for you when you're watching this. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. So in four days, maybe three, maybe Thursday, I will give you the full synopsis of what is about to happen. Let's just say it involves a headlamp. All right. That's all I'm going to say. Walking away, walking away to dinner. Question of the day. Are you the 500th subscriber? Because if you are, let me know somehow. And I'd love to shake your hand and say thank you. Thank you. At least as of right now, we're at 499, but somebody out there in the YouTube Universe is going to be number 500. Thank you. Thank you. Appreciate it for you guys coming around to the VLOSJ. All right. Going to bed. Going to turn off the sprinkler outside.


And that's all the parts of Africa. The Democratic Republic of Congo is expected to join the East African community today in a bid to boost its trade, social cohesion, and security. The official ceremony will be had virtually followed by a summit to inaugurate the EAC's new Member State, a bordering five member states of the organization, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, and South Sudan. The DRC was assessed from June 25 to July 5 on its level of compliance with the organization. Similarly, the DRC and Tanzania control almost equally almost all of Lake Tanganyika. As early as June 2019, Kinshasa had expressed its willingness to join the organization in the letter to Paul Kagami, then current chair of the EAC Heads of State Summit.


Hi, I'm Joe Roberto. I chose Immaculata because of its beautiful campus. I felt that I would be able to thrive here and continue to grow my skills that I will need for the professional world.


I would have thought you had learned your lesson. I am a slow learner. She's a fast learner. I really wouldn't know. I don't think anyone else loved chewing on their mustache or just me. Welcome back to Life Thousands in Film. Today we're going to be making sense of life through Tales of the Jedi. Episode 5, Practice Makes Perfect. It follows Ahsoka mainly as Homer is begun and she is now Anakin's padawan. Ahsoka is doing a training exercise to get ready. Work her chops up, you know, work on those lightsaber licks, defending herself against probe droids. And Anakin afterwards is like, this ain't no good. This ain't gonna do you any good. It's a lousy test. But it's what every Jedi does. Exactly. Look, you want a real test? Name it. Okay, I'll make you an actual test. And then we'll see what you've really learned. It's better to be better than you need to be or more skilled or more practiced or stronger than you need to be at the real thing, right? Then you'll be super prepared, which makes sense. It's like swinging two bats. You only need to swing one. If you ever have to swing a bat, hopefully you never have to swing a bat. But if you do find yourself in a position where you have to swing a bat, I'm not saying hopefully you never have to swing a bat. If you like swinging bats, perhaps for a sport, you want to play a little B-ball, go ahead with the bats. But in other cases, you know, if you find yourself needing to swing a bat, it's better to be prepared and be used to swinging more than one bat at a time. And then the real thing with one bat will be a breeze. It'll be a kick walk. I never understood where the term kick walk came from. But yeah, I mean, that's basically it. Anakin does his own exercise, battle combat exercise for Ahsoka. And they go through it and they go through it until she masters it. And then it ends with Ahsoka and Rex leading to the Hanger connecting to the last or second last episode of the Clone Wars show. Let's hope all that training pays off. This was a cool episode in that I'd say it was probably my favorite Ahsoka episode. I liked that of all the episodes, it's really the only one that's taking place during the Clone Wars. The last episode kind of happens right after the Clone Wars ends, but this one is kind of in the early days of the Clone Wars. Ahsoka is just starting her training. You know, Obi-Wan. You can tell it's the early days because Obi-Wan is still rocking his delicious Jedi mullet. That was a treat. You got to see the gang back together.  He's back. He's back. The whole gang. The one guy I forget. The guy's name. Old wizened Jedi. I don't know if he's like the keeper of the holocrons or something. I forget. This is an episode about Jedi training, basically, or combat training. And not only did this episode that was focused basically on just this one training session, it explains how Ahsoka was able to survive basically in Season 7 of the Clone Wars when the clones turned on her. So it's cool to kind of explain how she was able to, you know, hey, you know, when you practice something and then you're able to actually put it into practice, you know, then you'll be perfect at it. A lot of nice tie-ins, you know. The last few episodes before this one ties into the Phantom Menace or ties into Attack the Clones. This one ties into the Clone Wars Season 7. So I like the tie-ins. Big on tie-ins. I like a tie-in. And the series that does tie-ins, tie-ins are the best. More tie-ins, you know. More tie-ins, please. How long was I out? An hour. An hour? Yeah, Jesse really tagged you. Sorry, Commander! I like that Jesse was the first clone to stun her, which is kind of a nice callback, call forth, call forward, to how Jesse then has to stand off. He's like the main guy that stands off against Rex Nisoka in Season 7, so... Jesse, listen to me. We've known each other a long time. If we don't get this right, we will be the ones committing treason, not her. Yeah, what was that? It was fun. And I like to just how much they emphasize Anakin wanting to train Nisoka. The rigorous stuff that he puts her through. Because it's war, you know. It's serious stuff. And I like that they are, again, bringing back the idea that you need training to get better at anything. Star Wars, at one point, in the past little while, in the past few years, was very much about people just being able to do stuff without any real explanation. And maybe some people enjoy that. I don't particularly. Not only do I love a good training montage, even though I was actually pretty old when I saw Rocky, but I understand why that training montage stays in the zeitgeist, in the consciousness, in the collective consciousness. It's great awesome to watch. But yeah, just in general, I think it's important to emphasize for kids that training and practice is required for basically everything. Honestly. And you can even fall out of practice if you stop doing anything. Honestly, even like socializing. For me, I feel like if I don't see people for a month, I'm super rusty with socializing. I'm very awkward. And so yeah, even socializing takes practice. So that's why I think it's silly when you want to make movies or shows where characters are just good at stuff without any explanation. It's hard for me to relate. I don't want to build a relate to something great, you know? Reliability is fun. It's good. I liked seeing how much Ahsoka was put through the ringer and then she struggles for a while, which is natural and normal. That's how it is. You're never good at anything at the beginning. You wouldn't want that. Struggle is good. Enjoy the struggle. I liked, you know, seeing the stun, the gun set to stun again. Just whenever they get to use it again. I love seeing it. So I'm glad they're bringing it back. Phase 1 clones. Maybe this is an unpopular opinion in some ways, I think, for me, I actually like the Phase 1 clones more. Maybe it's because it was the first clone phase that I saw growing up. I've seen the second movie before, the third movie, you know? Maybe it's that. But yeah, there's just something about it. So obviously, good to see both. And I like both. Both are great. I felt like the Clone Wars show is more in the Phase 2 clones of the show. It gets a bigger percentage of the show, I felt like. And I also wish that they had an episode or a scene where they kind of show the clones getting their Phase 2 armor and talking about it. Some not liking it as much. Some wanting it more, you know? I thought that was kind of a missed opportunity. I digress. But yeah, overall, I liked the episode. It touched on a lot of nice things overall. I enjoyed myself. But anyway, that was what I thought about episode 5 of Tales of the Jedi. What did you guys think? Let me know in the comments. Share your thoughts on my thoughts until next time. Thanks for watching. Let's wrap. I guess I was wrong. There was no danger at all.


The current bear market is the worst in the history of Bitcoin. That is what on-chain metrics and technical indicators tell us, according to crypto intelligence firm Glassnode. In terms of the depth and the amount of losses that investors have realized, it's essentially much, much larger than what we've seen in previous bear markets. Really what we've seen is a kind of maximum pain. But despite the price downtrend, a silver lining seems to be emerging. Cycle after cycle, that floor of hudlers is higher, the amount of activity is higher. In this video, we sit down with James Czech, an analyst at Glassnode, to try to answer the following questions. What is the actual state of the Bitcoin market beyond price movements? And how can we use the on-chain metrics to spot the bottom of this bear market? Before we start, don't forget to like the video and subscribe. I'm Giovanni, your host, and this is a Cointelegraph interview. So in a recent report, you defined this bear market as the worst in the history of Bitcoin. Can you tell us why exactly it is the worst, and what makes it so bad compared to previous bear markets, like the one we saw back in 2018-19? Yeah, and really we tried to come at this at Glassnode from a statistical standpoint. So what we're looking at is a number of things. Generally speaking, we look at how investors behave. And what we typically see is investors who have held their coins for a certain period of time, and also who are when you're under water by 30% or 50%, your behavior pattern is different to when you're in profit. So what we really looked at is how far of many of these metrics that show just how in profit or in this instance, how in loss the investor cohorts are. And what we've essentially found is that both in terms of duration, and also in terms of the depth and the amount of losses that investors have realized, it's essentially much, much larger than what we've seen in previous bear markets, or at the very least, it's comparable across most of these metrics. Now, can you get a bit deeper into these metrics that you're using for coming to those conclusions? Yeah, so what we're looking at in particular, we look at a metric called the realized capital, the realized price. And what this looks at is the average price that every investor is paid. Now, we can further just split that up into different cohorts of investors. So we look at it across the entire market. We can look at what we call long and short-term holders, which have held for five months, more or less. And that really defines a statistically different cohort. Long-term holders typically have a much, much stronger hand, they're less likely to react in terms of volatility, and in the face of things like that. Whereas the shorter term holders, statistically speaking, are more likely to spend their coins and actually sell at small profit or losses. So there's a few angles to this, but what we saw is over $4.5 billion in net realized losses. So these are people who accumulated their coins at some point in the past. And then when they're spending it in the face of these price declines down to 20k, or 17.6, what we're seeing is those coins getting revalued at a much cheaper price. So someone accumulated at 50,000 and then sold at much lower. So on net, there was about $4.5 billion in a single day during that June 18 sell off event. And we can see the same across our long and short-term holder cohort. So really what we're seeing is a kind of maximum pain. We're seeing long-term holders that have started to really distribute their coins at a loss. And given that we're down at 20,000, the entire 2021-2022 cycle is essentially at loss. So we're kind of looking at an entire investing cohort who are more or less underwater. And we can actually observably see their, I guess, their financial pain in terms of the way that they're spending their coins. Okay, and those are on-chain metrics. But I also think that you're using technical indicators like, for example, the 200-day moving average and the 200 weeks moving average. And Bitcoin has been trading below both those indicators, which are also assigned that the situation is pretty severe in terms of bear market, correct? Yeah. So what we're really looking at is confluence. How has the market performed in previous cycles? What metrics do we have that describe holding behavior, spending patterns? So both the on-chain side, but as you mentioned, also market signals. And what we try to layer in there is a layer of probability. So you mentioned the 200-day and there's also the 200-week moving average, very commonplace technical indicators. But also we can look at how many days of the year in Bitcoin's trading history hasn't traded below or above those particular values. And what we look for is when we have multiple metrics that are all, the price has deviated more than 40% below the 200-day moving average. And it's currently below the 200-week moving average. It's also below the realized price, which is that cost basis I mentioned. And when you combine all of these layers together, what you essentially have is a very, very uncommon event. So over history, we have seen very, very few instances where all of these particular indicators have been signaling the same thing. We're seeing very, very few new people coming into the network. And what that really establishes is kind of a floor of the hobblers, so to speak. These are the people who like the last line of defense, the buyers of last resort, the people who really believe in Bitcoin rain, hail, or shine. I wanted to highlight another interesting point that you talked about in your report. So more and more users are moving their funds from exchanges into self-custody wallets. So how significant is this trend? And what are the metrics that you are using in order to come to these conclusions? Yeah, absolutely. So this is a really interesting dynamic. And what we've essentially seen is over the last 30 days, we've seen about 150,000 BTC flowing out of exchanges. And what we see in this particular instance is a very interesting divergence, which we actually haven't seen at any time over the last five years. And that is generally speaking, the number, so the number of deposits and withdrawals to and from exchanges typically move alongside price. So when you have higher price performance, more people come in, both on the buying and the selling side. So typically withdrawals and deposits move in tandem. However, over the last couple of weeks, as we've seen some of these lenders, there's been a kind of a renewed emphasis on the not your keys, not your coins. Now, this is probably part of it. We've also seen Bitcoin correct down to much, much lower levels in terms of price. So every dollar goes further in terms of accumulating Bitcoin when it comes to people who are those price insensitive hodlers. So there's a number of dynamics at play. But the divergence that we're seeing at the moment is that the amount of withdrawals is increasing in scope, whereas the deposit is actually trending in the opposite direction. So we're seeing a greater emphasis on the withdrawal count. And this is really something that's only happened in the last couple of weeks. Now, when we look at things like transaction counts, withdrawals and deposits, we're removing the concept of Bitcoin volume. So in actually generally speaking, when you see something like that, it actually indicates there's more smaller spenders. Generally speaking, there's more $100 transactions and there are $1 million transactions, just in terms of volume. So what we're basically seeing is a probably a renewed emphasis from the retail crowd on a self custody type approach that waiting for this storm to pass, waiting for all of the dust to settle. How permanent do you think is this transition from exchanges to self custody solutions? No, that's a really good question. It's certainly one that I'm going to be paying attention to. So my gut instinct is that we're probably going to see a reversion back to an extent after some time, whether it's months or maybe a year. What we see is that we've got about more than 86% of all of the supply is already outside of exchanges. So already, there's always been a dominance towards coins being off exchanges. However, over time, these services become increasingly secure. We see, for example, Binance, their balance continues to climb to all-time high. So some of these services will continue to operate and customers will continue to migrate to them. So what I actually suspect is that we'll probably see a brief period where there's this renewed emphasis on not your keys, not your coins. But over time, the market's memory tends to fade and we'll see these services come back online. People's confidence will grow again. And it's likely that we'll move back into a regime where people will start depositing back to exchanges. So you previously said that market tourists are being purged out from the ecosystem. So what are the metrics that you're looking at in order to make this conclusion? And what do you think is this a good sign for the Bitcoin market in general?  And you see, you know, when all cells are exhausted and all the speculators and the hype has come out of the market, essentially, when nobody wants to be in a particular asset, generally speaking, you're approaching near bear market loads. And that's essentially what we're watching here. What we've observed over the course of 2022 in particular is almost a sideways pattern. So we have a very, very stable base load of transaction counts, active addresses. And what this really demonstrates is we have this kind of base layer of hodlers. People who are pricing sensitive, they believe in what Bitcoin is and why it's here. And the highest probability is that this is kind of that base load of people who are just not going anywhere. So the market is over the course of 2022, correcting down to the final with all the four sellers until it finds that hodler demand floor somewhere aligned that they can actually hold in the sand. So this trend reminds me of previous bear markets. For example, even in 2018-19, we saw market tourists being fleshed out from the market. And then we saw the hardcore hodlers keeping their position with diamond hands. So in this sense, this is not a new trend. Still, maybe did you notice that this bedrock of hardcore stable long term holders has become more significant in this bear market? Because if that's the case, that would mean that despite the cyclicalities of bear and bull markets, the Bitcoin network is still becoming more and more resilient to these downtrends. Yeah, absolutely. And the answer is almost unequivocally yes. So what we generally see and in those reports, we had a, we call the bear market channel. So really, since 2016 onwards, the on-chain activity metrics particularly started to move into a more cyclical pattern. So pre-2016, it was very much an acceleration. People were almost just cutting into the network. Bitcoin was growing up. As we got past that 2017 bull market in particular, we saw these spikes in everything from fees to transaction counts and active addresses. They really peaked during bulls and they declined during bears. However, what we did notice is that over time, even during the bear market, you still have a linear trend of growth. So we still see that cycle after cycle, that floor of hodlers is higher, the amount of activity is higher. This includes metrics when we've done our clustering. So removing some of the technicalities like exchange wallet batching and things like that. So even accounting for all those technological changes, we still see a larger volume of actual hodlers and entities who are in this space. Within that framework, the amount of coins moving into what we call shrimp, people who have less than one BTC and whales who have more than 1000 BTC, it's almost a bit of a bell curve at the moment. Those two entities in particular are actually accumulating at some of the most aggressive rates for the shrimp. The most aggressive rate in history, it's now surpassed the 2017 peak, which is fascinating because it's the same price, just happens to be in a bear market rather than a bull. And the shrimp are essentially seeing this as an immense period of value. And simultaneously, explicitly for whales, we're looking at the exchange inflows and outflows. And what we're seeing is that they are also pulling coins off exchanges at a remarkable rate. I think it's the second largest in the last five years. So there's a number of pieces of evidence that's really suggesting that that floor of hodlers is higher. And there's something about this 20,000 level that they seem to see a level of value, both on the upside and the downside, interestingly. This accumulation that we are seeing that you described is still not actually inverting the trend in terms of price. So we are seeing that Bitcoin is still trapped in this downtrend. So what do you think? Is this downtrend strictly related to macro factors like the fact that the Fed is hiking interest rates? So this is really the big question that everyone wants to know, right? What is actually driving this thing? So there's a few answers to this. So the first one is that when we do see accumulation and stacking and all the rest of it, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to translate into price instantaneously. Generally speaking, markets are forward looking. And this applies for Bitcoin especially, because in many ways, it's one of the few free markets that are left. So price is able to correct and move in a way that in many instances, it hasn't been able to in traditional markets for many years. There's been lots of federal reserve quantitative easing and things like that that does distort markets to an extent. So Bitcoin is much more free and able to move. And in many ways, it's been a leading indicator for things. Simultaneously, what that means is its ability to actually flush out excess leverage and essentially self-correct is something that is genuinely real. So we saw this across all futures markets and derivative engines in the Bitcoin space. They are able to essentially net out and liquidate and solve all of the excess leverage within a span of an hour or so of a significant price move in the traditional equity space. And indeed, what we've seen in the off-chain space in the crypto market with three arrows capital and the like, it's these off-chain deals and things that aren't able to be cleared by automated systems that take months and months and months to clear out of the system. So the market is essentially pricing in and looking at inflation, Fed rate hikes, tighter monetary conditions, probabilities of a recession. Bitcoin is a global 24 seven asset that's on a comparative basis. I mean on the weekend, it's the only thing that is liquid. So investors really are expressing their views on that future using Bitcoin almost as a bit of a macro index, so to speak. And I actually expect that to continue to grow where Bitcoin almost becomes a bit of an industry for global macro conditions, both on the upside and the downside. Now, one thing I will say is that I mentioned that accumulation, all these things aren't an immediate impact. This is why bear markets take months to years. Even though there is that wall of stoic investors who are accumulating at all times, there still is a price will correct until that demand level is met. So now I would like to ask you the 100 million dollar question, which is probably what our audience, what our viewers are also wondering, which is where is the bottom? Can we point at the bottom looking at all these metrics that you have access to? Now, in terms of trying to assess this really, what we have tools, and I mentioned this earlier, it's about confidence. So we covered in our recent newsletter called Is This Time Different, where we actually look across many, many metrics, whether it's our macro oscillators that map hodler accumulation behavior, their spending behavior, what we're seeing in terms of pricing models. There's some pricing levels which have never been broken before. Is this time different? Maybe. But what we at least have there is a suite of metrics and a suite of concepts that are all telling a very similar story. And what we're trying to essentially assess is where is that maximum threshold that we've seen a full expulsion of, I guess, weaker hand investors or forced sellers. In previous cycles, when have we seen a similar level of pain that triggered the complete sellout of those investors? And in many ways, we're approaching that level.

My Madonna by Robert Service Read from LibriVox.org by Alan Clare I hailed me a woman from the street, shameless, but o' so fair. I bade her sit in the model's seat, and I painted her sitting there. I hid all trace of her heart on clean. I painted a babe at her breast. I painted her as she might have been if the worst had been the best. She laughed at my picture and went away. Then came with a knowing nod a connoisseur, and I heard him say, "'Tis Mary, the mother of God!' So I painted a halo round her hair, and I sold her and took my fee, and she hangs in the church of Saint-Hilaire, where you and all may see. End of poem. This recording is in the public domain.

The Ukrainian military conducted drills in the Chernihiv region on May 16, close to the border with Belarus. The simulated drills focused on urban warfare, one of the key elements in Ukraine's planned counter-offensive against Russian forces. Soldiers practiced fighting in an improvised settlement and and also provided first aid to simulated casualties under the watch of the commander of Ukraine's joint forces, Serhineyev. Scenarios included battlefield inoculation, which involves training under fire from real weapons and hitting a tank with a grenade. The past week has seen Ukraine make its biggest gains on the battlefield since last November, recapturing several square kilometers of territory on the northern and southern outskirts of the battlefield city of Bakhmat. Moscow has acknowledged that some of its troops have retreated but denies that its battle lines are crumbling on the city's flanks.
