Live over both YouTube and Facebook, can you get a signal? Let me just wait for confirmation from the services. Alright, live on Facebook. Let me just wait for YouTube. Very difficult, though. So it's another episode of Crypto Watch, episode 9. Let me just try to get the different services up. Alright, so there, the numbers are going up. Let me just access via YouTube so I can see the chat natively. But I can chat here also. Okay, so let's play the ad first before I forget. See you after the break. Hindi gala mo windows. Pero san ko hukuan ng digit windows? Daming options, daming prices. Aka nito. Budi nalang may cdkeyovers.go. Search for the software you need. Add to cart. Daan ka sa payment options nila.

Check it out, cdkeyovers.co. I swear talaga. Palaki na puputul ang ad niyan right at that point. It never lets it finish for some reason. Anyway, yun. Thanks for joining me for another episode of Crypto Watch, episode 9. Ganami talking about today China's Digital U1 which actually started, parang they started talking about it 2014 palang. And then they, I think the technical aspect, they started really coding it and figuring it out paano natin isa scale to in 2019. So yung unang discussions 2014 and then 2019 is when they really started to get the ball rolling. So it has been in the works for a long time. Pero if you remember from our previous episode or a couple of episodes you talked about before na China has banned all crypto and all mining. So bakit sila may digital U1 ngayon? So we'll talk about that in a bit the connection between those things. We'll talk about Bitcoin difficulty as region all-time high in terms of mining. We'll explain a little bit about that if you're not familiar. Ano ba yung sumin ng difficulty? Anong connection nung sa Bitcoin? Number three also actually related to mining and a tip given by one of our frequent viewers and a frequent customer of the shop is parang di may mga scam na umikot ngayon promising install mo tong software nato tapos yung hash rate mo na an LHR card or low hash rate card. What is an lower hash rate card? We'll talk about it also. Basically it's a nerfed card but there are programs going around promising that if you install this program you'll get 100% hash rate on an LHR card. Are those a scam? We'll talk about it.  Finally, we'll talk about Russia, Ukraine and oil which has had a bad effect on the markets including I guess crypto. The last bit of news close into our market analysis segment. Although if you take a look at the text description below, you'll notice kadda episode, we do one episode a month. I put there the price of Bitcoin at the time of the episode. Bumagsak siya nung Let's check the data. It's highest was around October 62.2K episode 5 in terms of crypto watch. Actually I think it went slightly higher than this, that was the old time high of Bitcoin then slowly pababa siya nang pababa and then bagsak siya although the lowest it hit is around 30-32 but it's been recovering nicely now we're at around 37.6K John from YouTube as asking, unrelated but will you have stock of the fractal torrent nano? We will once our supplier has stock. Balapa siyang stock ngayon the case John is talking about is the ITX version of the very popular fractal design torrent which is a massive case sobrang laki nung torrent pero bago lang siya na case yung FD torrent pero sikat na sikat siya nang ganda talaga na air flow niya we've done a couple of builds in it we have it available at the shop sobrang ganda talaga nung nung air flow nung torrent pero sobrang laki niya anyway the company who makes it fractal design as recently come out with an ITX version kasi sikat na sikat yung mga ITX builds ngayon so they recognize that oh we have a good thing makadaraman yung response sa torrent natin let's make it smaller so the Nano is the ITX version I don't know John kailan namin makakuhayan yun it really depends on our supplier but if you know us naman if you look at the builds that we've done we're fans of ITX builds we do a lot of them so definitely pag available na sa atin we will have also yun nga di ko lang mga sabi kailan sa Preven Jan thanks for joining us on YouTube who is in the market for a component also and we also ordered it already but we'll let you know not today Reven Jan but it's on the way actually I expected to come in tomorrow pretty sure tomorrow but we'll message you when it comes in so J.R. it is from Facebook so we'll start with the first bit of news China's Digital U1 first proposed or first pinagusapan nila in 2014 the actual hard work began in 2019 and actually it has really good numbers hindi lang natin napapansin kasi China and it's always hard to get news out of China but hindi lang natin napansin but Digital U1 actually already has 261 million unique wallet accounts the news article that I read claims as individual people so it's not just like ako nga nung lima pang account kasi nakatayin yun sa identity mo so I'm not sure if as a person you can have more than one wallet account and that's the whole thing with the Digital U1 is that it is China's cryptocurrency so it follows China's very minimal or zero respect for privacy and that's one of the main benefits of crypto is that transactions are mostly anonymous not anymore I've seen work around even bitcoin there are ways to track the flow of bitcoin and eventually so that you can finger it pwede may turo na nang nagpadala na bitcoin transaction ato itong semester X or semester Y there are other currencies like Monero which are even more privacy centered I haven't I haven't seen a crypto na 100% anonymous na talaga there's always some way that you can kind of backtrack it based on the available information on the blockchain but any crypto is basically a lot more private a lot more anonymous than China's Digital U1 because yung hal, let's get into it one of the reasons which we talked about before on the show is why would China ban crypto and mining siya yung number one miner for bitcoin the number one country in the world at the time, takot yung mga taon sa dami nung miners sa China there's a kind of exploit in the bitcoin network that if you're able to control a certain percentage of the miners above 50% I think but the way it's very technically sobrang technical sa math major I won't pretend na I understand the math but the way I understand it is na if you control a certain threshold of miners you're able to manipulate the authentication of the blockchain the whole point of the blockchain is that it can't be faked masahan mo na if Anton sends to Revenjan 0.1 bitcoin totoong bitcoin yung it can't be faked the transaction can't be altered or spoofed or forged or something like that but smart people looked at the bitcoin blockchain and realized that if you control a certain percentage of miners you are able to manipulate the chain in certain ways and there was fears that China being the number one country at the time na nagmamain would be able to do that but it's just cause to show na people get upset about a lot of things na hindi naman like malang paki si China it didn't give a two thing damn if it was number one in the world in terms of bitcoin mining hash rate so it got rid of crypto because it was a means ginagamit ang mga citizens na or it was a possible means for its citizens na makalipat ng pero abroad ayaw yung central government that wants to keep a tight control on its citizens so get rid of all the other crypto ban na yung lahat iligal na yung lahat so anyway magawa tayo na sarili na nating crypto which is the digital u1 at now at the end of 2021 261 million people in China have an account have a wallet account and 1.5 billion na daw at end of 2021 yung transactions tally transactions using digital u1 so i mean those are staggering numbers and it's something na bago palang purely China domestic market palang di pa ganun ka sikat alipay and wechat have like 90-95% market penetration yung digital u1 parang 20% or 15% lang ata so you can imagine the potential for this thing and so they rolled it out to foreigners they let foreigners have a test yung mga athletes who went to the winter olympics in Beijing were inside the olympic village kasi yung covid quarantines for the winter olympics ba walawabas, ba wal pumasok so it was like a mini bubble yung winter olympics but inside the bubble foreigners could buy hard wallets nung digital u1 and use that so it was the first public in the sense na kita nung mga non-chinese kung paano ba tong digital u1 na to let me just go through the chat briefly and this is why I like yung seeing ReStream Studio Revan Jan, yung if it comes in tomorrow, you can pay tomorrow but no worries, we'll let you know we'll reserve it for you don't tell anybody because we don't usually reserve but Revan Jan is a good customer he's bought a lot of stuff from us before so you know we always end up personal touch from Facebook and haven't bought anything from the shop but I enjoy the content on YouTube thank you Ed even if you haven't bought anything from the shop yet I hope you consider us in the future but thanks for watching us on YouTube sobrang naking tulong dinon for our marketing and getting the word out actually I like talking to people if I'm at the shop and customers come in I like asking them how they learned about us because we're a small shop we don't have dinaquest we don't have PC options so I always ask customers how they found out about us a lot of the time it's through YouTube but more and more now also it's word of mouth ayaw na may dalawa akong kakilala sa work nag-recomend sayo or I heard from a friend that hardware sugar is good masahan so it's good na medyo parang snowball maliit siya at the start and as it keeps rolling it gathers up more and more speed still very much a small shop so it's nice na parang may word of mouth and of course malaking tulong din yung social media that's why we're so cool it we're so cool it on social media um from YouTube let me just go through some of the chat Ryan, may diya ba kayo sa rates na PC services like reformat etc I'm doing commission PC bills ko kasi but di ko pa sure kung tao po yung rate ko to be honest I don't really keep up with the rates of other shops yung sa amin if you buy the majority of parts from us it's free, I'm not advertising to Ryan kasi he obviously is a builder so he knows he knows how to build kung nikwento ko lang yung rates ng hardware sugar baka makatulong in the context na you're trying to compare sa amin if you buy majority of parts from us it is free assembly is free if not I think we charge an assembly fee of 2000 we have a bunch of other services also like for cleaning and cable management but if you're a former customer na kabili ka na sa amin it's 50% off so 8.50 na lang 8.75 1.750 divided by 2 yung reformat actually we don't really do except for customers yung libre yung for customers may diagnosis din kami and it depends kung mahirap or madali we might do a reformat in the context of a diagnostic service our rates are on our facebook it's the pin post to be honest I can't really remember right now I think it's 2000 for hard or 25 for hard and 1.250 for easy we don't do it as a standalone service yung reformat from Wunel G so I watch most of your videos learn a lot pc build salamat, I enjoy it at the same time thanks so much I'm not gonna lie I really like getting these comments kasi the whole point of the channel siyempre parang free marketing for the site for hardware sugar pero at the same time yung goal namin makakuhapan yung more people into the hobby kasi kami personally we really enjoy it we think it's very rewarding also to to actually ginagamit mo computer mo araw-araw and then paglingon mo sa ilalim ng desk parang saya nung feeling na parang ako pumili nung parts, ako gumawa niyan hindi siya nag-boot nung una nagpanik ako pero inayos ko naman I reset the CPU I reset the GPU nakalimutan ko pala-lagay nung RAM no joke that's happened to me so a saya lang na feeling it's very rewarding and that's also why we gear the youtube channel towards a little bit more towards beginners to try to entice more people into the hobby so I really like getting comments like this no joke it is also very rewarding for us to see comments like that just a little bit more about the digital u1 sorry, it's like it's hard to juggle between like the same mga notes ko for this episode and then but I also want to react to chat but to go back to the digital u1 actually I was interested di naman ako athletes sa winter olympics but I was interested kung mo sa batong hard wallet pero the reality was a bit of a let down basically how you would get digital u1 if you were a foreign athlete may parang kiosk, may parang ATM machine may dala kang foreign currency may dala kang dollars you would feed the dollars into the ATM machine tapos lalabas lang siya nung parang ATM, parang debit card so that's your hard wallet your digital u1 is stored there and you're running around olympic village and they say ay gusto ko ng coke although if you're an athlete probably wouldn't drink coke gusto ko na bottled water so dala-dala mo yung parang ATM card mo yung hard wallet na where the digital u1 is stored and they just swipe it or whatever and that's how you pay for it for me that's kind of corny, I was envisioning more like yung naki integrated talaga sa mobile or some other more yung talagang ginagamit yung potential of crypto as a digital currency rather than something that's fixed, I mean essentially parang debit hindi naman required for the foreign athletes to use digital u1 you had the option to pay in rembini I think or visa card I just want to say a quick shout out to SOAP, ITX Addict Keeping company while driving I hope it's not I hope you're close by to your house instead of like you're coming back you're coming from Manila then going back to your place matyumalay pa yun did put in your tip into this is our third bullet point don't get too distracted keep your eyes on the road so yeah digital u1 is a reality China is the world either there is no other there is no other country na even close to having a digital currency with that kind of market penetration with that kind of technical expertise already deployed and studied and executed on wala talagang world leader in China and there are things not very admirable about current Chinese society personally I'm a more freedom kind of guy over censored your internet kung mali yung sinabi mo pupunta ka sa reeducation camp I mean no joke man that is some serious stuff I'm glad I don't live in that kind of society but at the same time yun when they do do things that I think are praise worthy props credit or credit is true and the digital u1 really is something like that na talagang inasikaso nila pero ang galing kasi nung communist party it's actually Xi Jinping it's all about control crypto started out cryptocurrency started out as a potential avenue anonimity governments can't track you it's not fiat there are no serial numbers on these darn things when you send when you send a transaction so it's not controlled by any government so China was like I like that ease of use but I want control so I'm gonna get rid of everybody ba wal na ethereum, ba wal na bitcoin ba wal na ripple, ba wal na monero ba wal na dugecoin ba wal na si Shiba Inu lahat na makalakohan na yan instead here have the shiny new communist party approved digital u1 so it's really pretty amazing like El Salvador who made bitcoin part of unofficial currency and merchants there have to take it they didn't have the resources to make their own crypto they used they relied on bitcoin they're using bitcoin now iba kong ikaw nag develope I don't even know if you would consider it a cryptocurrency the digital u1 as a cryptocurrency it's a currency that uses blockchain for sure the underlying technology but in the sense na to be honest I don't even know how it works I don't think there are any miners so it's really more like a g-cash kind of equivalent with the government in control so the communist party took everything that it liked about certain aspects of crypto ease of use, digital first portability and got rid of all the things it didn't like privacy, anonymity, I'm sure when you get a wallet if you're a Chinese citizen nakatayin yan sa ano mo I bet they tie it into their social point system in China there's a social point system and if you don't to buy train tickets to buy airplane tickets to get certain services from the government you need to have a certain score so if you're a dissident you said some shit about Xi Jinping you know if they caught you trying to research Tiananmen Square something right? your score is going to go down and I bet if not now in the future digital u1 will be tied to your social score another means of control by the state another means by which they can get you to toe the line so it's amazingly I mean it's amazing as 261 million people have used it has already moved 1.5 billion worth of transactions by end of 2021 but it is rather scary that totalitarian state has deployed such a technology okay let me just go through the chat a little bit you know tech get into crypto if you can I would yes that's my general advice actually to a lot of people but my general advice also is take it very slow there's no rush here things are crypto and I see this especially yun sa NFT mayful mow everybody is talking about NFTs I want to make money I don't want to miss out I miss the boat on cryptocurrency I don't want to miss the boat on NFT so gagawao na account sa open sea kahit anong unang NFT na makita ko bibilan ko I mean there's no need to rush guys take it slow just look at the prices of Bitcoin dun sa text description natin sa baba hit 62 now it's at 37 yun yung baga sa crypto palaging parang roller coaster yun every episode I say the same thing akit bag sak yan so if you buy it too high and it goes down don't panic it will always go up if you buy it high and you're worried that it'll never go up it will always go up it's just really a matter of time don't panic take your time anti monitor from youtube may 30-50 na po ba kayo at makano actually we did we had two but they're reserved now because somebody is gonna buy them like mag-DP na siya we had pallet 30-50 they were around 23,000 I did see somebody in another tech for facebook ano yung problema sa speaking of like I like freedom and I like freedom of speech but sometimes there are yung mga tao din nang comment sa internet talagong wala talagang alam e I saw a post I forget which facebook local facebook pc group may nagsabi na kung may makita akang 30-50 na over 19k over price na yun or over 19 or 20k I'm gonna tell you guys yung sa supplier palang lampas na sa 20k yung iba yung iba 20k obviously if you buy it from your supplier magkakipapatong mo pa yun kasi kala mo rin mag kumita so that guy who said that anything above 20k is over price was just literally talking out of his ass he didn't know anything as again we're a pc shop so I see the prices every day and there's really a disconnect between people like claiming na over priced we did a video this month na explaining like how do you set up a pc shop so dami kasi misinformation e madali lang mag post kahit wala kang alam sa sabihin mo to over priced kasi SRP I won't get into my rant about SRP because I'm gonna get derailed of the topic of cryptocurrency pero a lot of people kakonti lang naman yung shop mas kakonti pa yung actually people to talk about prices like hardware sugar to be honest, we're the only shop I know even remotely talks about magkana ba yung nabibili namin from the actual suppliers how much is it on the supplier side when it reaches us so there is really mismatch unbalanced yung information scale a lot of people claim they know something but don't really know sila yung maingay the people who really know something are very small minority and they don't really post but I am telling you right now as an owner of a pc shop hindi over priced yung 3050 na over 20k whoever that guy was again as I mentioned in that video about owning a pc shop kung kaya mo pa mag SRP after nabili mo sa supplier ayder gali ka sa pere gusto mo lang magsunog nung pere or you don't want to be in business for very long kasi it's really unrealistic Revin jan this is a running gag we have with Revin jan manami siya binibili never I'm usually the one who special delivers meaning I personally deliver the items to the shop but as I always tell Revin jan it's really not like I don't take the customers it just so happens na ayder libre ako or like the one I like the best is pa yung parang circuit let's say I have a customer in Magalianes and then alabang and then Kavite and then uwi na ako so isang iko talang yun makati, papudang south and then back up to makati so we really try to make it more efficient like a chain like that it's just so happen that when Revin jan orders we like either like I'm not free or there's no chain or something like that but it's unintentional promise although yun nga I do like to tweet him like every time I post I've done a custom order on Facebook like I put like p.s. Revin jan number two bitcoin difficulty is at an all time high just to explain if there are people in the audience na hindi familiar difficulty rate is so bitcoin is the OG cryptocurrency and original or like the first one that really gained any prominence it's one feature which has been basically copied by all other cryptocurrencies is that the more well actually no the entire the way bitcoin works served as a template for basically everybody else the basics are usually the same people do work for the network that's called mining the work basically consists of authenticating transactions yun nga if anton sense 0.1 bitcoin to Revin jan the work of the miners is to solve complicated math problems using their computer hardware to authenticate that my transaction that that is not a fraudulent transaction indeed that a certain individual and again because it's bitcoin it's not tied to any name it's not tied to any facebook profile or anything it's completely in that sense one individual sent another individual this amount that amount is legit that that was actually that account actually had that amount and that kama naman yung pinadala the transfer wasn't forged and there is a wallet ID to receive it so that's the work another aspect of bitcoin is that the more people who are working the harder and harder it is to earn bitcoin because the network rewards you for doing work by giving you bitcoin it's a bit more complicated than that because actually it's ang bagsak yan only one person gets the reward and then pababaan ang pababaan reward niyan that day when i was still mining it's at 50 bitcoin for reward but i think i don't know if it's gone down already at 25 or something to be honest i don't keep up anymore um but uh sup david go on facebook um so the one who created bitcoin satoshi people have claimed that they are satoshi but nobody has really definitively proven who satoshi is the one who created bitcoin was like i want people to work but the more people who work the more quickly the rewards will be generated because it will lead to inflation ang gagaling na bitcoin e props to satoshi i mean he was able to work out the basics of economics bitcoin like any commodity is valuable because it is scarce it is not something that just flops out from the three every three seconds and the more people who work for the network the faster and faster bitcoin will be generated and that will lead to declining values inflation um so one easy way to combat was that he put a difficulty level the more and more people are working the harder and harder it is to get rewarded to the harder and harder it is to generate bitcoin from your work uh and so to go back to the number two news article bitcoin is at an all time hash all time high the hash rate is at an all time high um so it means that why did i put this in it means that the mining has recovered because sobrang bagsak yung difficulty level a lot of people stop mining when china banned miners because as i mentioned yung china yung pangunahing bansa na kung kung nasan yung mga miners dati when china said illegal niyan takbuhan lang takbuhan lang mga miners to Kazakhstan to Iceland to Miami um so it took a little while several months for the hash rate to to go up again but now we're at an all time high again um so it proves that people especially those who are anti-crypto were like ah wala na when china banned bitcoin wala na game gg na yung wala ng pagaseng crypto but here we are bitcoin is low yes but because probably of certain other market factors which we'll talk about later but they're as seen in how many people are yung na all time high yung mining rate there is still very much an interest in bitcoin it's not gonna die it's not going away tried to kill a mosquito but it's still flying around um yeah so bitcoin is not going away anytime soon and the hard evidence of that is the the hash rate yung na it's at an all time high so the miners have recovered and people are still very much into bitcoin and crypto in general although that's an interesting usually um when the usually when the price is down the hash rate goes down also because people are discouraged why will I be mining e bagsak yung price yung bitcoin you know I can't sell it for what it used to be before that usually be the relationship the lower the price hash rates wouldn't be this high yung na all time high siya ngayon which I think it's further evidence na um um um which I think it's sorry iya ay unayin ko lang to si Karla uh soft carl I assume you mean shout out so shout out Karlyon Puyat from youtube uh I hope you did mean shout out um because I still got a whole show to do but shout out um so hard evidence that people are convinced at least of the economic feasibility of bitcoin bottom line kasi yung bitcoin na yung yung mga miners nagoosyo din yan some people kasi look at cryptocurrency and if you're super against it it's like you're very emotionally invested na parang why scam yan scam pyramid scheme yan and on the other end there are the evangelicals na or yung sobrang rabid talaga na no this is the libertarian dream and you know parang anonymity I want total freedom but in the middle are very business oriented individuals like miners na nagoosyo lang yan um and the fact that they're mining in record numbers is proof na in their economic wisdom may kinabukasan may futures of bitcoin that's why they're putting their money they're paying for their electric bills they're buying new hardware because they think that bitcoin will be around for a long time they can still make money from it so that is one indicator that crypto is not going anywhere alright let me just go through the chat uh sana next week uptrend a little bit koin makabawi naman sa naipit yeah it will go up just want to go back at dumbal ataya plan to go to your shop to buy and build yes we are close to dun boss ko on chino roses this from facebook i'm a streamer i always watch your content anong putin nyo ang price range na isang budget pc build na pwede nga metin for stream you know if you really want to go budget a five six hundred g will play most of the stream worthy games like valorant genshin genshin you know kind of sickot for a while last year but i don't really see it a lot anymore apex legend same medyo sumikat no offense to people get very emotional when like their favorite games are said to be dying or whatever i'm not saying um lord knows i mean if you watched my gaming streams like the past week i've been playing civilization 6 which is you know at least eight years old or something so i'll be the last one to comment on like on a game dying or something um but even a five six hundred g five seven hundred g will play those games relatively well and it can handle the stream kung yan talaga yung budget na um if that's what you're aiming for mga say mary carls up genshin still has some audience like below 13 kaiser sub genshin still pretty popular just more of a niche audience fan base um yeah i don't really i haven't really followed um those particular games um um game um um um um um um um um um um hardware, tech industry, but it was super hard to find inter, you know, good guests. I was super happy with the guests that we did get, but we wanted to keep the quality and it was hard to find. So we had to retire that show, media diet, we also retired that show, but we kept. So our three main shows are Pwede magtanong in the shop, which is alive from the shop every month and and crypto watch. And then we do another show, which the topic changes every year. Guys are sim six, eight years old. I last played kasi sim six before this month, five years ago and five years ago, it was already kind of old. So medyo estimate ko lang that it's around eight years old, but it's around thereabouts. It's around thereabouts. Anti monitor, even China is also controlling CSGO skins. That is a that's a very interesting market for me. Never ako pumasok dun sa customizable skins ng CSGO, but I understand my market because there's many crates and my keys and my knives or something. Obviously, I'm not familiar at all with the market. But for me, that was when I when I discovered that there's there's a market for that the skins for CS, which is which is such an old game. It really it another indication that digital goods really are not really mainstream, but in the sense, they have value. I mean, even before they've gone mainstream, like Meta Meta is trying to do now with the metaverse and things like that, or crypto or NFTs, even before of those things. I mean, there was a dedicated fan base na, you know, or like yung mga hat sa TF2, yung mga hat sa TF2, those also had value. And then so, definitely, an example of how digital goods can have real world value. Although I do agree with Joy Palma head scratcher yung yan, di ko may tindihan, actually, yung the whole CSGO skins thing, but there's no denying na sobrang ano. Those things are expensive and they get ano, they you'll pay through the nose for some of them. Ah, new Pokemon. I saw a review. But didn't realize that it was popular for streamers. Could be, could be. Did I see Ergobert? Ergobert, you there? I thought I saw you Ergobert in the chat. Yes, Russia you create and Biden's upcoming second order on crypto. Ergo actually, I trades even more actively than me now. So, I've been thinking of having him on the show. Because he's also good at these alternative coins. Kasi medyo, standards yung approach ko sa crypto investment.  Tezos, I like Tezos, XTZ. But all of those things are are much older compared to some of the other altcoins now like Solana, like Ada. So, Ergobert actually keeps me up to date on those things. Plus yung mga blockchain plus those blockchain games. So, I've been thinking of um I've been thinking of having him on the show. Bakit next month na ano, then we can talk about like uh altcoins nalaga yung mga bagong altcoins and things like that. Pansin naman si Vladimir Vladimir, please tell your the guy with your same name to quit it in Ukraine. Kasi it's making everybody nervous. Uh but consider it to yourself, notice cake cake yuk cake cake koik, cake yuk. I do actually know a cake in real life. Uh but she never appears in the stream. Uh go by variables, dude. Actually, I am waiting for my fifth bit five and I want to make a video about it. Uh I'm super excited to get it actually kasi dito sorry like super minor this great digression before we go to three and four point three and four.  He's a husky from Ergobert actually. So uh kasi nanan yan ni Ergobert sa akin. I'll never forgive him for giving me that husky.   So anyway, I need to walk that dog um every day. Tapos, one time ginaami ko lang yung phone ko as a very basic fitness tracker yung Google Fit as pinah I recorded like, you know, oh, I'm starting to walk and then I stopped it at the end of the walk. Every day pala, nakaka 2.2 kilometers ako dahil sa hayuk na yan. Um so I'm like, whoa, I mean that's the significant distance. Uh we're just walking.  He can't jog even. Like he gets tired after like after a sprint. Wala na nga asin masyado. Um so uh so it's just really a walk. Sometimes it's a brisk walk. So but you know, when I looked at the distance, wow, 2.2 every day. It's not bad, right? Even if it's just a walk. So I decided to get a fit bit. Si Rafael yung utul ko na sa it's on vacation um abroad. So it's much cheaper abroad. Sorry um the guys actually will carry fit bit uh here in the Philippines. Um they've actually been very good to us. They've sent us some items over um so I feel bad for mentioning na medya malapit. I mean medya malayo yung price uh nakasail din sa Amazon in fairness. I mean nakataon lang ay ay was lucky enough to get it on sale. Um so so yeah so I got myself a fit bit five but Raffaela hasn't come home yet but I'm super looking forward to that. Um kasi medyo na obses na hukonte so I can track my sleep but the fit bit five actually um can track your sleep like how much rem you're getting.  It's it's basically sulit like if you own a four parang sulit yung upgrade sa five and this is my first fitness tracker. So sulit talaga yung um data that I'll be getting from it kasi apparently a lot of um a lot of the a lot of the distract house of tech kay tech cartographer's YouTube. I'll get to your comment tech cartographer um um but um uh yeah so this is my first wearable and it seemed like a good time to jump in kasi the fit bit five has a substantially more sensors jammed into it and I'm not even like I'm not even looking for like I'm not super I don't work out uh religiously or anything like that but I don't want to make a video like exploring um like if you're new to wearables or if you're particularity to fitness trackers like kamusa ba sila would it be something to be interested in. Like I don't want to sound vain but I didn't realize my nose looks so big uh or baka it's just like the way it appears in my screen but anyway thank you Joey Palma and thank you always for um uh popping by the streams I noticed your name a lot um see tech cartographer uh I see the professor not wearing glasses because previously tech cartographer had mentioned that I looked like the professor sometimes I wear my glasses on stream uh from uh money heist and I think I replied that all I need to do now is um roba bank or or get get get a posi together like get an oceans 12 oceans 11 kind of posi going in roba bank um although I do wear I do wear uh contact lenses so I that's what I have on now but the glasses are like for after hours Vladimir uh radio kaka token been waiting for crypto watch f to ask this I'm sorry to disappoint but I am not familiar or go bird if you're still watching and you know anything about radio kaka please do jump in um but no I don't know anything about it you know uh I have to be honest medyama hina ako sa bagong alt coins because there are just so many coming out now and I'm uh I I I've always been a bit hesitant about alt coins because it's really hard to uh differentiate what's okay and what's not um see it I think I think and then I'll go through the next talking points because it's hard to um start to do chat and then the talking points so let's just get the talking points out of the way careful buying abroad no warranty I think sadik and I have been chatting actually uh PMing each other about the whole new egg fracas um if you haven't been watching uh youtube gabers nexus has an entire youtube series na basically new egg sold them a defective part and they knew it was defective and then they didn't want to replace it and it was only when he identified himself and made a video na uh for the bad practices of new egg were na pit pinansin siya so super shady practices by new egg and and so that's what itx adic is uh referring to here na uh very difficult uh and of course it wouldn't be a hard version of girl's dream if i didn't mention kundi ko pili na kong shop na even locally it's very hard as some of our customers have mentioned like david gro who's in chat also as mentioned um it's very hard to get warranty here um but not too hard with sugar who has no bs warranty okay sorry i'm really going to get through the chat and then i'm going to get to the talking points na so bergo bird should see us and third of it uh and may musk is ambassador i shoot the sister the sister of elon um uh so that does sound interesting i'll check it out radio radio kakao di ba radio kako radio kakao um i'll check it out although again you know i'm worried about coins or tokens like getting influencers or getting sick of people to pitch for them um i prefer something like na may utility like ethereum when ethereum first came out it was like smart contracts bitcoin was very dumb in that sense uh ethereum was like parang built in built in escrow uh the promise of smart contracts was like oh let's say i made make a bet on a basketball game at tiniya versus lasal uh i bet lasal will win when lasal wins the smart contract can automatically check who won and then release the money so i thought that was a one teacher of ethereum which actually hasn't you know been used a lot but even early on nandu na yung teacher na ethereum na parang naisip ko na that makes sense that that's a good addition to a cryptocurrency so i tried to invest in crypto na may ganon um uh na may na may purpose na may utility um one other one other feature that a lot of crypto projects are trying to address which i think is super useful is uh scalability the visa card network the master card network uh deal with millions hundreds of billions of transactions a minute i mean it's it's astounding if you think about how how the technical mind and the technical background the technical aspect what's going on in the background when you swipe your card and no cryptocurrency has reached that level of scale yet um if we want to use it as something na kaya that has commercial appeal that has commercial value that has long term potential it has to address the scalability issue that's why ethereum 2.0 ethereum has been trying to address that with ethereum 2.0 a bunch of other projects i believe like solana also as i've been trying to address that as well um bam from youtube pegak pegasi uh no i'm not familiar sorry i want to make a really off-color joke about something that sounds like pegat pegasi uh because i was talking because i'll talk about it with a friend today uh not sobrang random but anyway um di ba tayo after hours guys so i'll i'll refrain from the off-color joke last time from chat kaiser yes because i was watching the same video um gamers nexus or how i refer to steve as gamer jesus because it was super long hair they dropped the uncut interview at only gamers nexus can can do a youtube video that's like an hour plus long because in fairness is tv was saying that i met with new egg and this is the entire meeting um this is the entire meeting i didn't want to cut anything so you guys be the judge i do agree with kaiser though that it's pretty much them do damage control and there's a lot of corporate speak like i got it's i get very turned off personally when i hear executives talking in like oh every customer matters no customer left behind and we're always about like it's like and you know that's all bs right if you're like if you're a customer and like again pldt would be the perfect example you always hear pldt um executives talking about like customer being number one they spent so much etc and all of that is bs when you can't even pick up the phone and get a cs person from from pldt all of that is bs when you read about the labor cases of pldt um not paying their contractors properly or making their contractors as contractuals and yunga um all of that bs like the pldt cares about its customers when at the end of the day the customer doesn't feel that um it i felt that same that's how i felt listening to the new egg executives to be i have not finished it yet to be fair in fairness to be fair to new egg and the executives in that meeting but that's how i felt na super easy to talk about like also being number one and bs like that but how can you say that if yunga steve had like a binder and he's like in the 12 hours or 36 hours after i put up a dedicated email address um to for people to email the complaints it's like this much right um so i'm very wary of these big companies that that it's always about like um uh it's always about like customer first and you know it's always customer centric and uh we wanted to go back to our roots and that's our customer who made this company parang ganyan um so it's yeah but you know bottom line if i was to converge actually i'm going to do i might probably do a video next month on like i had a semi frustrating moment with converge na ano paraman to and it's really ridiculous but if i was to converge it's very easy always to get them on the phone and when you email them it's very easy to get a reply although yunga my the video will be about like parang di nila binabasa yung sinasabi ko so it's very easy kasi to have a stock reply atas yun lang pinatapon mo sa customer di mo binabasa yung sinasabi ni customer um but in fairness converge it's light years ahead of pld t in that aspect um globe is somewhere in the middle usually it's somewhat somewhat kaya usually kaya naman to get a globe cs person but it's my experience has been converges the easiest one but pld t is the worst the the absolute abysmal uh for for ano uh for trying to get customer service mabilis sila if you want to apply for a new line in fairness of pld t again you know i don't want to bash like left and right in fairness to pld t mabilis sila for a new line mabilis sila to install the line and maganda yung line pero when shit hits the fan when something goes wrong with the line good luck na lang sayo mamatay ka lang sa pagintay wala pa rin dadating wala pa rin sa sagot sa sa customer ano complaint mo sa pld t thanks over ergo bird pegaxi later in game being hyped up as new axi ah well there you go um thanks for that okay okay i'll get i'll get to everybody's chat guys but i really do need to uh go through the news uh the the talking points that i mentioned that i put in the description so number three is unlock 100% hash rate on lhr cards is it a scam so backstory is that there are backstory is that nvidia came out with cards called lhr cards or low hash rate cards basically they have been nerfed or you can't use them for mining you can't use them for mining but in the sense that they're super inefficient like you wouldn't want to use them for mining kasi sobrang logi malilugi ka um so nvidia put out those cards uh as a way of saying about so as a way of looking gamers in the eye and telling them that we got your back even though nvidia knows that they made a killing of uh minor cards um and they've kept the super high end as always non lhr so in a way it's a very savvy move on the part of nvidia they look at they look at um they look at the gamers who have felt na kaya tumataas din yung prices kasi so yung mga miners and they're like we got your back we're a gaming company at heart but they kept the 3090 uh as exclusively non lhr forever so they're like telling miners you want to mine poney up for the 3090 at the same time they're trying to get back their core audience of gamers so pretty good business move on the part of nvidia although as with any restrictions smart people have found ways around them but it's only around 80 85% versus how the non lhr cards were like before to provide background everything now is basically lhr it's very hard now to find 3080 70 60s na lhr non lhr parin um one of the v2s all of the updated versions all of the refresh cards are basically lhr now yung yung except for the 3090 which nvidia has said will be always non lhr so of course you know you don't you can't pony up for the 125 000 that is that you will need for a 3090 but you still want to mine and you want it to be as efficient as possible ayaw mo lang 80 percent ayaw mo lang 85 percent you want the 100 percent na kaya ng card so there are software programs running around now and again thanks to itx adic for the tip he's the one who found it in kong baga may may mga programs na who are promising that install me and you will get 100 percent hash rate yung talagang todo kaya nung card card mo the problem is a lot of miners have their have their virus virus scan disabled so as not to interfere with the mining and unfortunately those programs are a scam they they do not they have malware attached to them and i don't think they do anything to improve the hash rate of the card so again it's a it's it's that old saying na it's just simply too good for it's too good to be true so you will have to get your your 100 percent hash rate the old fashioned way by tweaking it by doing workarounds and things like that a kaisa actually has a good point in the chat so people now are trading in their 30 70 600 600 800 for a 5700 xt because of the hash rate i because of a better hash rate or efficiency wise i do know actually of somebody who has a ton of 5700 xt yes he is a miner and that is he has yeah a lot of those cards online mining although he has been known to buy the occasional 30 90 all right so just to round out the news for this particular episode russia ukraine and oil so russia has been jonesying to invade ukraine for quite a while now joven hoven from facebook good e-bloods yung subscriber thank you so much for subscribing it really means a lot to us because we're running after 100k now we want to hit 100k subs pangarap ko sana by june but you know maybe that's not realistic but we're really gonna try kong baka stretch goal natin yan let's try to see if we can reach it by june but we gotta get some we gotta get some really hard hitting episodes in na talagang makakapulin ng subs but if not hopefully by the end of the year we'll hit 100k but yeah just my long way of saying that i appreciate subscribers kind of like how new egg sorry still thinking about the new egg kind of like new egg it's like oh yeah we appreciate customers we appreciate customers you're right but russia for a number of complicated and historical reasons and personal reasons of putin to our to vladimir one has been jones yung and they're they're you know they they've already put a put a foothold in when they couple of years ago when they when they sent in paramilitary troops they weren't official russian military but they sent in paramilitary troops to support the ukrainian rebels which themselves were sponsored or you know were receiving support from russia so that was a few years ago so now they actually have troops amassing on the border although russia claims it's just exercises but everybody believes that a full-scale invasion of ukrain is imminent lots of i've seen a lot of conspiracy theories online na you know russia i don't want to go hold joe rogan on on this particular topic na parang like oh you know guys this is what the news is telling you pero ito talaga sa likod yung palita ito yung gatatohanan i don't i don't want to be that kind of guy so there are there are you know there are a whole bunch of reasons some some analysis online i agree with but i do encourage everybody to if you're interested in what's going on to read the mainstream media kasi yun nga parang yung mga tao sa internet basawin day parang bad word na yung mainstream media but there's nothing um the the mainstream media by and large is factually accurate okay and ako i'm biased to sort of the liberal leaning mainstream media so the so the new york times gargant rappler here okay i'll say it you know i read rappler but beyond that i do encourage you to to check out more in-depth still mainstream but they're not like newspapers lang so like yung foreign policy yung yung yung mga trade trade magazines i call them trade magazines because they're their topics are really more like foreign policy and trade trade in the international sense na you know it's like countries you know trading items back and forth the economists of course very well known for in-depth analysis again not to say that everybody gets it right but it's important for you if you're really interested in the topic to read everything you can about it so you you have an informed and educated opinion yung nga wag lang wag lang tayo maniwala sa mga kahit sinong sira ulo na may internet connection na mahilig mag magdadad dito sa internet ie me right ie whoever streamer whatever vlogger whatever you see on the internet that's right for me it's really like read up on your own but what i will say about the topic is that for historical reasons putin is jonesying historical and current political reasons i mean it's very good for the russian people's ego i mean for i remember you know in the late 90s when russia was really disintegrating and everybody is fleeing there is no money from oil the time had it listed as the worst place to be a white guy because they you know white white guys usually have it's the best de ba kasi they have the best living standards and things like that but russia was the the worst place to be a to be a white guy like life expectancy everybody are a lot of people where we are drowning their sorrows in in drink and stuff like that but they have it's all about national pride also a part of it is national pride a part of it is butin's pride i don't know butin has a lot invested emotionally in the ukraine i i think it's hard to say a part of him does see himself as restoring the former soviet union because Vladimir was a former kgb agent he was a minor bureaucrat in the former soviet union aparatik i don't know how they say that what the pronunciation is it must be it must feel good for him to re-establish some bits of the empire to to to to you know to sum his nose at the west so this is my way of saying that don't really automatically believe that like oh it's a western conspiracy to bring russia down and things like that russia and china have very recently just formed not a formal alliance but it was the strongest worded document because blad parang best friends kami like blad butin visited russia for the winter games he was the most type profile government foreign government official to do so so and before that leading up to that they came out to the joint statement saying that which was very strongly worded that you know their their interests are aligned russia and china so butin has a lot you know the the sword rattling the sword waving he has a lot to gain both domestically and internationally coming is known at the west affirming that common stance with china so yung a I caution everybody na oh you know ito yung real reason behind and actually nakita ako sa mga groups na kasama ako na medyo may mga kasama matanda at ako ano nalang pinoforward na ito yung real reason why ano and it's a it's really the us propaganda na actually sa kan sa rasha talaga yan and hi so yun yun please do read up on your own just don't accept whatever you read on the internet but I will say that russia stands to gain a lot Vladimir Putin stands to gain a lot from the saber at din and and if he does push through as it does seem likely that he will invade ukraine Dave from youtube in your opinion with india side with russia or not they do have good relationship but relations being tested by russia relying on china yes very much so so in india and china have a bad relationship yes the chinese and the indians really kind of hate each other and again this goes back to history they fought several wars that is not a warm relationship at all and they're always kind of shooting at each other there's like a cold war hot war going on at the cashmere border because because china claims it as part of its tibet claim you know those mountains there china claims them the indians also claim them so every now and then they you know they get some guy gets bored and shoots across the border and things like that so i agree with Dave that basically this question is there are three parties the russians it's hard to ano yes sorry so there's there's yeah sorry i wasn't prepared so i don't have any ano but there are three there's a triangle the russians the indians and the chinese the russians are friends with china and the indians are friends with china but the russia is now friends with china and davis asking so pano na si russia india to be honest i i don't know enough to comment i don't know how much india relies on russia that's a for oil that's a for gas because that's one interesting thing about this whole russian dynamic is that the european states where actually the conflict may possibly spill over again historically the european states are not so keen to call out russia on the ukraine because they need the gas they need russia is the number one exporter of natural gas and germany in particular just built a new pipeline to fix it sorry to fix it to to export gas to germany so germany who is the leader on the continent the french will contest that but germany basically in terms of manpower basically in terms of economic and military might is the leader when it comes to those things it is not keen to challenge russia on ukraine because they do want russian gas and so that's when they i'll accept that like i'll agree with that as true the conspiracy theorists jump on that and say that you know that's why the mainstream media in the u.s. is hyping up this this war this potential conflict is just a way of pressuring germany not to buy gas from russia i think that's misfounded i think that putin really does want to invite russia sorry reinvade ukraine for a bunch of reasons again it benefits him domestically it benefits him politically it is it he's invested in it both from a historical and present goals perspective so i don't think that the media is over hyping the the possible conflict i i do agree that germany has its own strategic interest at heart and i can't blame the germans for refusing to call out the russians because the germans very badly need that gas no local government in germany will survive if they can't get gas cheap gas to to light their homes to power their power plants especially because germany has transitioned away from nuclear power plants ever since the the the chonami in japan a couple of years ago where the fukushima the fukushima plant went had a meltdown so so i do agree that germany probably will not call out russia on this but yung i don't agree with the conspiracy theories that this is a made up a made up crisis para lang may magamit yung us to pressure the germans to stop buying gas from stop buying gas from russia yes i just do want to end with my short political whatever or how i think it will affect prices prices of oil have gone up because russia is the second largest oil producer after saudi so prices of oil have gone up with the speculation that there will be war and the markets don't like uncertainty war is always an uncertain thing markets don't like that and bitcoin has reacted accordingly it has slumped down back to back to below 40 back to 37 as kaiser knows i'm very bad at predicting prices so kasi like i'm looking at 37 now for bitcoin i'm like oh that's a good price but you know if war does indeed come that will probably sink lower so even i would probably hold on and not buy yet 37 is a good price though but yeah yeah i mean joking aside i would probably wait because russian involvement does seem imminent it's very interesting just as an armchair perspective can putin get what he wants just by saber rattling will he bring it to the brink na jana siya na duneng matrups niya will he bring it to the brink and then will he de-escalate because then he can look like the good guy but he has to do it in a certain way that halata na hindi siya na cave in to us pressure because the british and the states are the rhetoric is very high that that's unacceptable i believe the latest statement from boris johnson the uk prime minister was like a barrage of sanctions await russia parang ganyan but if putin can de-escalate bring his troops off the border but in a way na parang siya yung panalo na siya yung i don't give a rat to us about your sanctions i'm still gonna sell oil to germany in a way na parang pinakita niya sa mundo na i got what i wanted linagay ko lang yung troops doon they didn't even have to move in na takot kayo lahat and russia is a power again to be reckoned with a power that is equal to the west that is back to the cold war standard of two equal powers rather than ang at yung us de-hado yung russia if he can do that without actually having to send in troops then that's that would be the best i mean even from a from a sanchu kind of strategic perspective although i you know i i don't know i think again it's very hard to say i'm not russia and i don't know the pulse of the russian people but they seem to be just based on history they don't seem to put out if they go to war and a couple of their boys get shot up i mean it's it's the cost of war the russians are very stoic they're used to that kind of cost so in that sense maybe there is no incentive for putin to de-escalate everything is pushing all of the motivations are pushing him to yeah let's go i mean let's invade we'll we'll grab we'll get we'll get prestige back you know look good domestically my my troops can show what they're made of so from a strategic level maybe there is no incentive talaga that will get putin to de-escalate i can't imagine the u.s. going to war over the ukrain neither will the british again the germans want the gas so they won't make a fuss the ukrain is just too much outside the spheres of influence of everybody to to to go to war for that so in a way putin will get what he wants even by going to war there's very little cost to him if he de-escalates on his own but i i hope to be proven wrong war is not good for the markets i mean just from a purely selfish perspective let alone costing people suffering and death it would be good if putin could de-escalate without without looking like he de-escalated kasi yung anapresure siya noong western powers i did see a question how sir maricol it will be safe here in the philippines pretty much so unless it becomes a nuclear war i think i mean if suddenly somebody starts lobbing nukes i mean it's game over for everybody basically but if it's a localized war um we probably will be mostly safe yes again i'm just an art care general but if you read history if you read current events which i do read a lot of in my spare time very unlikely that we will be directly affected by any conflict in the ukraine yeah so well just um to from zen and just to give a different perspective which is prevalent also in the internet na there's a big chance it will escalate to world war three basically well you know you know i don't really i think that premature to say that it will escalate although zen is not saying that zen is saying that there is a big chance i i wouldn't say so yet um yun ya ukraine is not a NATO member if it's attack it's not an automatic the whole point of NATO was in response to Russia with cold war na an attack on one is an attack on all the that provision has only been used once when the u.s. was attacked for 9 11 it has never been used in a state to state armed conflict that provision has never been brought up by the state to state armed conflict so ukraine is not a NATO member it's ukraine is too far out of the spheres of influence of everybody to really get upset with it i can't imagine also Putin steamrolling beyond the the ukraine why would he so i mean you know anything could happen but i i don't think world war three is imminent yet at this point a lot has to happen i think before we actually get the sense yes perhaps that that is a realistic danger that we need to assess so yon i'm gonna wrap up my stream thanks so much for joining me even though it's dinnertime i'll just leave with the word na kait ako i wouldn't buy yet right now kasi feeling ko military conflict is imminent prices will plunge sa more because of that and then that's the time that you buy yeah so just to give a recap on where we are video wise tomorrow we're gonna publish the video on the deep cool pq 1000m it's a 1000 watt psu from deep cool or the review drops tomorrow if you're a youtube member you can already actually watch it now it's exclusively available available to youtube members Thursday will be dropping a short on how to increase your bpi transfer limit hate the bpi transfer limit it's so annoying new 50k transfer limit there's actually an easy way to increase it which i never knew which i did finally so the short will be about that that's Thursday on friday we release another video on how to improve the speed of any computer setup so i'm excited for that i had fun making it it's not what you think you know lang spoiler alert it's not what you think and then on monday is my video on actually if you watched our live stream last sunday you already know what the video is about you've already watched half that video because i live stream me shooting the video it's the topic is nice to have pero kung wala sa budget okay lang na tanggalin sa build so it's kind of nice to have things that if you're on a very tight budget you can actually get rid of so that drops on monday and that uh kaiser no no it's not unloaded windows it's like it's medyo clickbaity actually yung increased performance for any pc setup but but i promise actually it is true it will the thing we talk about in the video will improve performance will improve the speed of any computer setup but it's not what you think yun so thanks for watching stay safe and have a good night please do watch the upcoming videos
