However, a man was wrong. Oh wrongfully convicted it took three trials enough and a hung jury to Get the right verdict. What's a hung jury? What's a hung jury? I Don't know what that is rev is now home and here to tell you about the events that took place that chances life forever, okay?

So it's like, yeah How would you introduce or was it when was the first day you say you became a part of a gang? It's not like yeah, we're in a gang now in it. You just Remember man, I'm not here to glorify or sensationalize anything. I'm just here You know like y'all here watching it and react It's like I said the people you are around in it and you know obviously from Peckham So I'm hanging out with people from Peckham. You know, I'm trying to say seeing the older Lot chilling with the older lot. So yeah, it's just like Do things they do you look up to them and just things like that? Whatever.  Mm-hmm. So what happened? I guess but what was the incident that took place? Someone got stabbed It's 24 times I'm passed away. Yeah, and how was allegedly you are meant to be connected to such crime? Allegedly I was picked out an ID parade in it. That's what Pinpointed me to this crime. Yeah, so I was picked out an ID parade and from then Yeah, please picked up on me and just yeah done the investigation So this this guy got murdered and was it a case of dies like a you just rested randomly? Wonder Jan you happen in January once I rested. Yeah, I think I was arrested like a month after or something Get me but I wouldn't charge straight away. I was Belled into like June June they come for me and then they charge me in June And what is your initial reaction? Shucks What's going on?  What did I do? Charged basically in June we're Monday straight away took me to Brixton and then yes from Brixton That's when my child just leave my child But that's when the process started happening. Yeah me so just tell me how the case started And so basically when I got nicked like I said I was on bail to like June so I know bro look like he can rap Young rev that's not like a rap name dude. He looked like a rapper You know how to go to and what is it son? Please station at every month get me and sign on and then one day random me They just come for me and let me I heard some rattling rattling banging thinking. What's that? My mom said raw just peace outside. I'm thinking about what do they want me to get me that what's going on I ain't got a sign on today or nothing So they've come Come in my room now saying you've been charged with murder Took me from my house and I went Campbell Campbell Green Magistrates court from my house straight to court So basically they was already ready. They had all the evidence. They had everything ready to go You went from the crib to trial That's different come in the courtroom now And that's the same cool room that my mom was working in get me sort of took me to the courtroom that my mom was in Basically, and she's had to like give to judge my files and call out my name for me to come up So yeah, and from then That's brutal. Was that planned y'all. That's not what they call me if you're sick and tired of the 95 grind That's not like it was planned Was anyone aware in the in the court that was your mom who was handing the papers? Yeah, obviously the police officers in it Because they took me from my house see my mom. So they they originally me I'm not sure if the judge or anything about yeah, the police officers me and Then yeah from court up and straight on Monday to Brixton straight away. Yeah, man How did you feel though? I guess at that time because that's a strange dynamic to be involved in man You're getting charged with murder and it's your mom's in the room You know what? I'll be real at that precise time. I haven't been thinking about me. Yeah, I was thinking about my mom I was thinking raw. I like get me even in the cool. I'm trying to get her attention Is that a peckham thing peckham road man thing raw? I'm thinking raw. What? to let I know like I'm good you get me and trying to Mime to her like I'm good, but obviously she's out working it So her face is just kind of straight and not really you get me So I'll ever really thinking about me to be honest. I was more thinking about my mom. That's the truth. You get me So yeah from cool. I went from Monday to Brixton And then yeah, that's what my job is rough like question like when like at what point did your mom like? She has sold it for that she didn't break down in the quarter none She must have knew the life. He was living already. She must have knew what type of time he was on When it began man, what happened? Yeah, I'm Brixton.  So when you was in the in the courtroom, what was the conclusion of what happened there? And basically the prosecution said I've been picked out an ID parade by a witness So that was the evidence against me in it. That's the only evidence the only thing they did obviously That's it. So I've been picked up by a witness. He says she saw me involved in the crime and Yeah, she said I was the main aggressor. I was this I was that so yeah off the evidence alone Yeah, they reminded me in charge of you with the murder and then what was next? Yeah, like I said Brixton A couple of the guys was in there get me like I said what I expected because my first time in jail as well We get me so a couple of the guys was in there From Brixton. I'll say what a couple months they kicked me out Hit me to keep me out of Brixton. Like I said when I was on remand For me, that was like a fun time. You get me like I'm opinion Wow, this could be about my life over or anything like that in there. I'm thinking yeah, I'm in jail I'm going home and I'm innocent that yeah, everything was fun time for me. Get me.   Did you ship to I'm ones off those life-liking ones worth? Yeah, one's off was good still. I can't lie same phones Living life in it coming like even them times.  Like I said, I was just doing my thing man. Basically. Yeah, and then what was next for your case? Do us hearings basically them time my trial didn't start until I Know my child star. I'll say Net ending of January my child started First child he was you know, he's part of Peckham too, you know in prison I probably probably like in prison Peckham the name Peckham ring bells So you probably in there with all Peckham people At least the guys where you was you know, I'm saying Y'all give what I'm saying like a lot of people from Peckham was probably there So when he say I'm living life, you know, we having fun with the guys lost it that what four weeks Lost it four weeks. Yeah, so yeah from then to like January which is fun time for me in there. Obviously I had hearings like and plea hearings and all that so yeah, man All along them times as well as you right in the backyard you use like I'm going home all the time Well, that was always in my head. I'm going home.  She was even drunk Yeah, I mean she was drunk and the description of me wasn't me So I'm thinking yeah, I'm going home and that's not me. What description did she give? I'm macy. She gave a description of a two male six foot plus Very in a manner more than six foot This one girl told me the average height in the UK for males where was Like five eight That's tough afro hair like a Jackson five Afro, you know, like the Jackson's Netmage gave like a Jackson five Afro big afro and yeah, and basically she even said he was kicking aggressively with these With these right foot kicking the boy aggressively with these left-handed right foot and doing like hand gestures or whatever she meant Yeah, and these times I'm thinking like well, I'm not even right footed. I'm left footed.  I'm thinking I'm going on man. This is just a no No drunk being drunk I mean in America if this was the like you would need more like I'm surprised they convicted him off of this Because normally I'll be watching and they'd be taking a lot to convict somebody in the UK But like even in America, I don't think this will a flu Like your witness is drunk. Did you have a public defender or something? That public defender wasn't trying to take no time Like what's time out for me? I buy the same Like raw that's how it's been right, right, right, brother. How Doesn't make sense and then I guess when did you realize that you wasn't going home? What happened drunk is a reasonable doubt To believe I said the child was getting a bit Because you know, obviously the prosecution have to pay up the baddest picture they can about the trial in it So yeah, man, the trial was just had his ups and downs in it But yeah, man, he's just paying me out to be like the main aggressor He done this he done that and This yeah, you know, I won't gotten home when I had the guilty They was telling them all about your past all about you, you know, what you was doing That's the problem man. You go when you go in there as a known member They probably already got previous is on you like that rap sheet First time in jail, but definitely not first time probably I Guess probably do you get in your verdict? Did you realize that things will switch in the other way? Like what way would you like did you realize that a guilty verdict may be coming? You know what even like the other my coldies of solicitors and legal team They was even thinking I was gonna go off And get me so I didn't expect a guilty verdict until I actually got the guilty verdict, you know, I'm trying to say Plus I didn't go understand or anything like that. Yeah, I didn't go and give evidence Yeah, me I nothing really to say anything. I did say I really said, you know, I'm trying to say so Yeah, I had nothing to say in their corner And then what did the judge say and do Basically, um The jury how long was the jury out for I think a few days a jury was out for Came up. It said I've got a verdict now And then yeah, got my guilty verdict And then I think I got sentenced the next day after the verdict. I got sentenced the next day Tell me talk to me What extreme line do you From house to court to in jail remanded to Guilty to to verb to sentencing right away like You bet you sentencing today and What and how it took place? Basically, yeah, I got my guilty went back to bone wash And then yeah next day come in Well, it was running through your head that night Rev.  I'll give you for murder but I didn't kick in a raw I just got guilty for murder. You know, I'm trying to say obviously I've come back to the wing Everyone on the wings looking at me funny like Like, you're right. Get me giving me that sub looking. I'm good. Like, right. What's going on? Get me. There's a rubber dissing your thing on the news Yeah, I would dissing your thing on ITP news and that was our swear down that my picture everything from then Like hit me I got guilty for murder But I'd be real man. I was even I slept like a baby that night I think it's because of me when you got in trial you wake up early You go to the um holding room you get searched get me Go to um cool you get searched and yeah, so I think all that tied me out Anyway, four weeks of that rubbish you get me. So I was just knackered anyways.  I think he started at like what 26 27 And then he went down I can't remember the reasons why he went down, but he went down and ended up with 22 But I was a reaction in the room and then he said 22 basically The reaction when I got guilty was worse than the reaction when I got sentenced When I got my guilty like the victims family and that they were just like yeah a man and Yeah, me like running Joe and all that Already penny and all of that bomb. Yeah, the reaction now. Obviously. I heard sobbing and crying for my family and all that I'm not even gonna lie the way he like describing it. I probably like because he was innocent at the end of the day like He ain't even thinking about what they talking about like, you know, I ain't do it. So whatever you got to say Say it I mean, I just don't talk and just say, yeah, don't worry man. I'm alright. He get me. I'm good. Don't worry about it. Yeah Like low-key we should a y'all if y'all you should play a game to this Like a game, you know the little drinks like like this size and if you pour something in it It's normally like whoa You should play a game with those so how many times he say you get me a raw by the end of this video You need to be overly.  What was their reactions like? Yeah, basically Obviously, we all got guilty the day before in it. So their reaction was a bit more Emotional the day before I think it kind of that sunken down in it So my obviously in my first child my Cody broke down and all that one of them you broke down By the time the sentence and come everyone was just like, yeah This is what is what is now in the glass and I said, yeah And then when you've been sentenced, what what did you do next and what was running for your head at this time? So when when you've been told you're doing 22 years, what what goes through someone's head? You know, that's a mad question. You know, like I said, this is just I was thinking this is me now in it You get me like I said, you didn't really kick in kicking Straight away in it. Yeah, I mean, but I was thinking wow got 22 years But I was just still doing what I was doing from the time I got remanded Obviously, I come down a bit more in it because it kind of humbled me like raw But yeah, it wasn't like I was walking around depressed and Soaking car. There's many in there that's doing 30s and 40s Get me and when I talk to them. It's like 20 years I'm not that bad. They get me like I'll be at soon not soon, but yeah, like There's man that's done that 10 15 years and they still got more years and me to do like that. So I'm like, ah, cool And then what was life living in prison knowing that you may be doing 22 years or I guess when did you start appealing?  So imagine that if I didn't tell them to approve my conviction I would probably be sitting there right now. Yeah, they didn't even see that's why you lost Your whole team didn't even believe in themselves Ah, man, you ain't even got the case. We're gonna appeal a good sentence. No, bro. I didn't do it Period I didn't do it at all. No, go back to the drawing board start over That's what I'm saying, man. If you don't fight for yourself really nobody will that's crazy Yeah, I mean so they just appeal those is gonna appeal my sentence and trying to get me some years off But I was like, no, I wouldn't go for um my conviction And then when you appeal what was the first steps of the process of appealing? So I think they gotta send it off to them. So obviously they got a right upper pill and Everything so at the time my QC. He's only spoke for me and cool in it. I weren't really happy with him I think he was a loader.  I got rid of him So I made him do my pill but what he read he got me my conviction though in it I mean my my appeal should I say so after he's done my pill I got rid of him covers I happy with him, but basically he was saying to me like what the judge done in the case was a rat So basically when I got nicked there was a knife in my pocket in the jeans of my pocket Get me but obviously I'm in my house There was no evidence that the knife ever was brought out into the street or anything like that wish it wasn't Get me and the judge ruled that in in my trial as bad character evidence like listen. He had the knife in his pocket you look like the murder weapon and Him having a knife in his pocket looks like he rolls up nice in it. Yeah me so I'm in the crib I'm at home Couldn't they have run like DNA analysis or something like The jury to hear so obviously when the jury seen this they're like raw Objection if his lawyer was doing a job. I would object it objection. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.  He looks like a murder weapon Like that's what I'm actually gonna sway your mind so I'm being guilty in it So and obviously I won't commit no criminal offense or anything with that being in my house Yeah, me so judge won't allow to do that. So off that basis alone. I've got my appeal Yeah, me the administration is giving 500 So yeah, I've got my pills. So basically where the pill works you go through the first judge So when the first judge and the single judge accepts it it then goes into a hearing now So the next three judges and this is an eye in the royal court. So justice. So these are like the top judges now. So You gotta have a little hearing with them And they got an except they got accepted basically. So yeah It's going to them by my video link these sons from Belmarsh got convicted And they shipped me to whitemore. You get me? So I mean whitemore I know my pills come in And then yeah, how the hearing now, but I'm on video links. I'm just sitting there I'm not saying nothing come to sit in there watching the video link. I think after the hearing I think goes that walk I'm not for so often. I'm not even sure. He knows that 10 plus years ago But yeah, one of the screws come to me was that John I'm like, what's going on miss?  You get me? I'm like, whoa Swear done. I'm going home.  But your conviction's been quashed You get me? So You be going back to Belmarsh in a couple weeks or a few weeks. I'm like, whoa, swear done. Like, okay Get me? I was happy in it, but I won't get in my hopes up You know like that and then when you got moved back to Belmarsh Well, what was it? What was life like there? Um, yeah, obviously, because I just come from Belmarsh in it. So I know it's the same. Yeah, it's just yeah It's like I was back on my mind, but it was more humble this time. Yeah, I mean I wasn't Gaston was before I was just more humble. These times when I'm in white more So when I left Belmarsh, I won a Muslim So when I come back to Belmarsh, I'm a Muslim now, but these times I'm proper on my Dean. I'm praying Yeah, I'm learning Quran and reciting. Yeah, I mean I'm learning new things every day about Islam.   I weren't really in the mix like that. You get me? And then when did when your conviction conviction was squashed What was the next step to getting you out? Basically, my conviction was crushed. So then they sent me a retrial But a new evidence has come up for me now.  So she's taken a picture of me in November And the murders happened when in January So in November it was one of my friends our PGO.  Oh, yeah, here.  I've proved that Hair grows. I like what 1.2 centimeters a month So my hair was even not even higher than this on the day of the actual murder You get me so that was new evidence. I got in They actually get me and then what was it a case of he went to jury and they Yes, I've had my retrial. This evidence is coming off the new picture But even after the jury seeing this and hearing the witness's um statement and story I understand They still didn't find me not guilty. Get me. I had a hung jury.     Well, what's going for your head man? These are some anxious you get me. It's crazy man.  You know I'm trying to say So even yeah after the hung jury or self walking What's going on? You get me?  I'll be real.  They come into my door When you hear the keys in your door, it's like raw. It's time now. You get me So it's that you get me so They've done that a few times but sometimes when they come it's like raw The jury will not ask a question. So it's like, okay. It's not my verdict They just want to ask a question. I think so the jury would ask you a question No, like they obviously when the jury are deliberating between themselves They can obviously Come back to the court courtroom bring you up and ask questions to the judge So anything that they're not just a migraine on all they will not like, you know Clarify they can also judge Is this this and this that and the judge will be like, yes Can you remember the questions that last me in your case in particular? Whoa What are you doing here? Think of me as like your hairy godfather I'm here to help you get your hair back because you need a little more grass on the playing field Let's go Hey, Jeremy. Hey, Spence One of the questions was um about my mug shot because obviously I had a picture of What my family friend took and then had my mug shot picture In the station when I got nicked and then I took a next picture for my ID parade So there was asking What was the months between because my hair was growing in it by then I hadn't cut my hair So there was asking the month so the um The months in between between between the pictures That's not something they wanted to know. I can't remember what that actual question was but you know, they wanted to know something like that You get me And then so the first one was a home jewelry and then what happened I guess the second time around Um had a hung jewelry As well, you know, I'm asking you do they have to give you justification why they've why why it is a hung jewelry And why some people have said They believe you are and some people believe you aren't no no, they don't tell you that They just say it's just a home jewelry. Yeah, not everyone come to I think you have to get 10 to 2 basically in it. That's if 10 people say guilty You're guilty You get me if 10 people say not guilty you're going home in it. So it's a majority of the verdicts on your hung jewelry Can you remember what the split was? No, I can't Definitely not but obviously I didn't get 10 people saying you know what I'm trying to say so Yeah, and then so you've gone back now for the is this almost the third trial? Yeah third trial so after the um I think the retrial was in May And my retrial and then the third trial was in that June or something like that It means I come back for a third trial now You get me and Same process all over again Get me I gotta be taxing emotionally, especially if you know you didn't do it The guys friends have come cool The same witness you picked me out. She's come cool a third time You get me same story obviously. I'm I've got I know the case of my heart now I know what they're gonna say. I know everything. So nothing's a shock to me. You know, I'm trying to say So yeah, they've come cool And even the judge so I imagine that Others who yeah, this is a stitch up man. You get me that they're trying to stitch me out because even the judge basically, um Someone who was a suspect in my case Someone who was a suspect in my case. They got NFA basically in it. They got NFA But they was on the next murder case You get me and but obviously will they all linked us together and He got guilty. He just got 21 years. But the judge who gave him 21 years Was my judge now.  She didn't even know that birds. They held the birds of the feather that program Yeah, she's even one of their sisters or something like that. You get me. So She's um, she's um some reason asked for all the um mug shots from the ID parade You get me so she's looking at the mug shots and all the suspects are involved and she was like I don't know that face You get me she's that I just sentenced him to blah blah blah. You get me then she's looking at me now Look at the mug shots. So she's thinking raw like these guys are a bit now. I'm trying to say that Well, obviously the law is the law, isn't it like she um my team went for halfway dismissal now And yeah, she has to come back and throw out my case And she said the woman Basically was wrong in it like that couldn't have been The defendant who she described because he's here When you're hearing this when these when she's saying these words, what's going for your head man? That's that that They just be looking for a conviction at the end of the day. But that that that like They want to dub you But the hair thing just seems so obvious You know what I'm saying if my hair was Bald two months before and they said he had a Jackson 5 afro. I know y'all know what a Jackson 5 afro is Like come on, bro This takes longer than two months to grow So that's not a Jackson 5. So think about it.  He's that turn around to me. Get me. I'm sorry. He's mine to me You get me. I'm like, oh like sweat it down. You get me. But I'm happy, but I'm not like I'm just still compose yet me still compose and just really really now and then she just like yeah I just missed this case man. I'm throwing it out. Basically. You get me Well, I guess what how did you feel man? I must have been a crazy feeling to find out that he's a bad justice For the members to do 22 years and now you pretend but now now you're going home. That's a loot man. That's a salutable you know I'm saying like Justice will serve man. In this case it wasn't him Hey, you know, it was a crazy feeling but obviously Um, the prosecution got 48 hours to um appeal it They got a 48 hours to appeal it and they weren't to go for a fourth trial because they weren't having it They didn't want to let me go basically in the prosecution. They just want that w They're not even thinking about like dang. Did we get the wrong man? The wrong man is still walking the real guy is still walking the streets like They think we got to get somebody Yeah, I mean they don't they didn't want to let me go so they had 48 hours to Appeal it basically so but what they're trying to say to me is that we're all You're going back to a bellmarsh until the prosecution Appeal this case and try to get a full free trial. You get me I feel like I feel like if I should go if I won the mist trial If I won and it was thrown out and they got 48 hours, I should be free until they get the right evidence That's how I feel Because I'm gonna be locked up until if I lose so if I won All right, God go do y'all do diligence, but I need to be free until then Full trial now you get me. What were you thinking of saying at this stage? I'll just be real man. I'll just think post yours. You get me? I think you're post yours like what? That allowed me now you get me like let me go now. Now I'm trying to say yeah, but they weren't happy at all man so I'm in um I'm in the cell going back to bellmarsh going to circle van Yeah, and they put me in a circle van and Boom one of the jigglers has run out Can't remember. Yeah, banging on the door, banging on the door. She come out. Wow. Come here. Mr. John So I was like, what's going on?  You get me? But I think that was um The family's doing so you get me? I don't think they could Go through no more yet me so Yeah, that's true. Like every trial the family got to relive the whole thing It's like I was like, oh, we're not gonna proceed with a full trial But you have to go back to bellmarsh And come back to cool next morning so we can tell the jury that you're going home. Basically, you get me? And I think the forum of the jury I think that's what they call them. He had to even stand up and say No guilty you get me. So I went to um Bellmarsh and next they come back to cool Yeah, me Yeah, I went back to cool next day For the judge to tell the jury what had happened And then yeah release me And then what was life like the first day? First day, I don't know how this be real. I was like a big kid on the first day Hey first day out even if I'm not a rapper. I'm dropping a coldest song At this point after all I just went through I gotta drop some So a black cab back from the old Bailey's all the way back to pack up. Get me just looking at the window You know like that. Just looking at doing like a big kid. I was just thinking First thing I done, what did I do? I had a bath I remember that you know why I called in jail. There's no boss to the showers I was showering for two years straight.  I'm thinking Bro, you get me but yeah, so the first thing I done I had like a two hour bath. I sweared on Right. What would you say was the worst experience in those two years? West memory West memory Just getting my guilty That was the worst memory Um Even nothing to do with even jail though, obviously I've got a few bad news when I was in jail like my knees passing never even met her before You get me but I really enjoy I had some good times man make some good people That's crazy That's a uk prison talking Man, I had a good time in there Hey man, I ain't even got no bad memories about jail. It was cool We was chilling playing ps5 in that joint. We were shooting dice.  I was living free in there Basically, you know like that We're just a gang if you let it when you was released and after two years Once I was kind of in obviously I spoke to the People from the area.  Was anyone in that world? No copies. I still keep on contact with people in it, but I'll be real when I came home. I really woke me up. I remember I came home.

You get me because I'll just Joe not giving off carrying the world amount of Joe just But that woke me up like around back in the trenches. You get me like I'm back in the trenches. I imagine that's how I'm So imagine that so I'd have been like fresh home. Basically, I was fresh home from 22 years and then some other been Dead, you know, like that. So I was better off staying in jail than you know, like that. So yeah, man That kind of woke me up as well No, no, probably mistaken identity or something like that. Get me Yeah, in one of the estates yellow brick in it. Obviously, I never knew we done it No, but that was a surrender No, nothing, but Imagine that it just clicked on my head I know it was the worst thing He's even he's unjammed. They all had it on safety. Well, because I've done the you sing boat now get me and then Literally, no one ever let will lie. He like 10 50 seconds later. I've had bang So he's probably unjammed it or had it on safety and tested it and it's banged off. So Yeah, I was just thinking imagine that If he was like a proper whoever he was if he was proper, how different be here today, you know, like that So yeah, that woke me up I like how you phrased that if he was proper, that was like a reality check that right?  What was the worst memory or the worst thing you've seen in the whole of your life? A lot of things I can't even say on camera bars. Yeah, a lot of things still Yeah, just it's no more hood. Yeah, man.  You know, we call that ruthless obviously it was just What was it? It was like war for old alzbury that war for alzbury estate and was all together I'll say literally just left the Literally me and my next president we just left the And I say that five ten minutes later. We got the call that she passed away. So that was kind of like One of my worst not even kind of that. I probably just saw my worst memory more in the Yeah Best memory Surely coming home in it. No, but obviously yeah cause but yeah What best memory in the hood or in my left on your life my kids, man And taking my shadow my best memory still Obviously I know how it goes in it. I can easily say it's not worth it But once you're in deep in deep in it, it's hard to come out and me Like for someone like me, I can say like, bro, I'm not in this hood. Shit. No one I don't want nothing to do with it. But there's people still hold grudges. You know, I'm trying to say it so It can never be too complacent, man. That's what I say. But obviously it's not worth it, innit? Everyone I met in jail doing laughs and I says wanting to come home Get me there's not one person that said To my knowledge.   Everyone went literally to come home.  Um, Cain man Get me he's from Some kinds of green. He's like a older older guy to me. He got me He's proper. I look after me and that him and Craver Imagine they even said to me like, bro, if you even come back here, don't even chat to me He got me.  Like if you come back here, don't chat to me You get me like you got a chance to go home like get me. So even on that I'll do this. Yeah, you got a crazy second chance Even though you shouldn't have been there in the first place, you get that chance is wild So you go back man, you don't let all the way man. Tell her leave a like comment. Let me know what y'all think. I'm gone taboo


What is your personal perspective, what is your why, what keeps you growing, and what are you actually reaching for doing this here today? That's a great question. What drives me? When I got involved in this technology, I felt a moment of pure excitement and possibility. The reason I felt that pure excitement and possibility is because I'm a nerd. Nerds get excited by technology. Like normal people, they don't go, this is the most elegant programming I've ever seen. No. I do. I'm like, oh, this is so amazing. I'm getting emotional because this code is so elegant. I do that. Which is why a lot of the people who got involved in this early on were nerds. It takes a certain personality. It's happened to me many times in my life. I got really excited, but here's the interesting thing. Once I got into it and I started understanding, it kept giving me new reasons to be excited. Then I started meeting people.  I didn't eat for weeks, and I got so obsessed. I spent all day on the internet, and the people around me started complaining. I wasn't doing anything else, like communicating with my friends and family on one extreme, or showering on the other extreme.  You're like, no, it's beautiful. Let me tell you about Bitcoin. Please don't. Then I meet people at the meet-ups and they're like, that's exactly what happened to me. That's what happened to me. I became so amazed at this technology. Then I started seeing how I could apply it in my life and improve the world. Then I started telling everybody I could meet until they started telling me to shut up about Bitcoin. Then I discovered this other thing and learned something more. How many people here have experienced that? Every time I go to one of these meetings, I meet people who tell me their personal story. That personal story reminds me exactly why I got involved. You can go on Twitter, Reddit, and look at what's happening in the world of Bitcoin.  But if you come to one of these community meetings, you connect with people who have the exact same reason... that you got involved and with whom you have this sense of community. Now, I understand that what I just described applies equally well to a cult. Of course, many of the people you meet at first are like, you sound like you joined a cult. You've been chanting the white paper in the voice of Satoshi Nakamoto for the past three days. That could be a bit too far. If you find yourself in your living room at two o'clock in the morning going, A system of electronic cash, peer-to-peer networking, then you've gone too far. But you can find a lot of people who enjoy the same things as you. What is my goal? My goal, which I communicate with everybody I work with, that everybody who works for me understands, which everybody is working towards, is very simple. Educate as many people as possible in as many languages as possible on the technology of open blockchains. That's it. Educate as many people, many languages, open blockchains. Four things, really, really simple. I've been working on that non-stop for the past four years with just complete determination. We're now translating the videos into 37 languages with the help of volunteers. Public free education. If you look at the number of people that have watched the videos that I do, I think we've already reached a million people who have been educated completely for free on the technology of open blockchains. And there are thousands of people around the world who support me on this, and feel part of that mission, and even give me money every month so that I can pay my staff, so I can do it bigger. And this is my goal. For the next four years, I want to take that from 1 million people to 50 million people over four years, in more languages, in more countries, and with more free and open education. And that sounds crazy. But to me, that's a much more achievable goal than paying attention on what the Bitcoin price is going to do. Because I think there are at least 50 million people who we can tell about this amazing technology over the next four years who will understand it, who will need it in their life, who will be interested in learning about it. And some of them will be nerds like me, and will just be excited to see something elegant. And if you believe in that mission, I would invite you to help me achieve it. What does that mean? Everybody has something to give. You're not a programmer. Doesn't matter. Can you speak two languages or three languages? You can help me translate. Can you talk to your friends and family? Can you buy a book or download one of my free books, print it out, and put it in your local school or library or university? Could you go and teach at your local school or college a simple introductory course? Using the materials that we have freely available? Could you introduce it into your local community? Could you teach young children how to learn about this technology so they have a new career or opportunity? All of those things are possible.  They go around all day picking up different people and telling them, Have you heard about Bitcoin? Sometimes I meet them. It's amazing. All right, thank you. That was a great question. I want to ask you. You are an investor, an activist, but I would like to question you. That's a great question. I'm a teacher. I'm not an investor. I personally own Bitcoin because I need it for my work and I use it in my business. I don't know if I'm an activist. I think I'd have to be more active to be an activist. I think I would describe myself as a teacher. It's what I love to do. That moment where you are explaining something to someone, and you see the light bulb go off. I live for that. That's what I love doing. I'm a teacher. Like in any other industry, the teachers are the least paid professionals in the space. If I was an investor, I would be much more successful. I would have landed on the roof of this building in my private helicopter, but I'm a teacher, so instead I take the bus. Thank you.


What's good Josh we're lost back again with another video. So we're gonna check out 10 wrestlers Vince McMahon never got We all know Vince McMahon was kind of stuck in his ways So maybe the wrestling internet community was a big fan of a particular wrestler or even just like a certain wrestler We get over organically with the fans and Vince McMahon would not see it sometimes the person I can think of Off-top is obviously Cesaro, Cesaro was a person that organically got over But Vince McMahon didn't really I guess you could say buy into him mainly Because I think a lot of people were saying because of his promo ability wasn't really that good But his in ring work was top tier. So it prevents it was like He had to look he had the in ring ability, but his microphone skills was not there So he kind of really didn't buy into him as much or push up like a lot of his fans Wanted him to be pushed, you know, and I think there's a way you can work around that you can work to people's strength Strengths, you know saying even in situations where it's like it may not be the best Talker, but you could work with them and find them someone that can be the mouthpiece for them You know and there's been other situations where Vince McMahon didn't really see The potential in that particular wrestler, but the fans did so we're gonna check this out Appreciate all the love and support you guys have shown on the channel. Let's do the damn thing And Vince McMahon retired recently There was a huge spad of online discourse about how Vinny Mack was this big genius of the wrestling world And perhaps the greatest mind to ever tackle the sport Vince McMahon sure had a lot of big w's in his wrestling career But he also had a lot of huge L's like massive L's L's so big that king kong would try and scale them while swatting away by planes You see there are a lot of wrestlers in the history of this mad world in which we the fans Loved and wanted to see pushed to the moon But Vince McMahon the supposed genius that he was Didn't get and decided instead to give us more John Cena or whatever stupid gimmick He was into that guys that could have been big or major players for wwe that would have made massive money But Vinny Mack just didn't get I'm tempest hailing from parts fun known And these are 10 wrestlers Vince McMahon never got And before we get on with our list make sure that you subscribe and enable notifications to always on so you never miss a Fun wrestling list just like it and make sure that you watch survival series our new hit show here on parts fun known I'm a big fan of it and I think you will be too Honorable mention Raven fun fact wwe is the only major company to not have a version of Raven's flock An easy to book faction that had brilliant main event feuds and ecw and mid card feuds and tna and wcw Yeah, why didn't wwe have this version of raven this silver tongue devil who had a menagerie of misfits Surrounding him to do his bidding because Vince McMahon made him a homeless man Really, Vince McMahon is a f***ing idiot Number 10 broken Matt Hardy when both Matt and Jeff Hardy made the return to the house that finny Mack built in 2017 a lot had changed for brother Matthew despite wrestling for two decades by that point in 2016 Matt would undergo a drastic character reinvention while working for impact becoming a broken version of himself With a wacky new accent to shovel bleached hair and a whole universe of props and characters that included a dilapidated boat A mower of lawns and the vanguard one holographic drone. All right, maybe it's obvious why Vince McMahon didn't get the character Matt would eventually have the opportunity to apply his broken universe to the wwe by the end of 2017 But it was a much less ambitious version of the character than what we had seen He played chess with Napoleon reincarnated as a goldfish But he wasn't treated with anywhere near the level of importance He was an impact losing to bray white in a matter of minutes on raw 25 He did get a chance to main event raw with the ultimate deletion match against bray However, that's about as good as it ever got for the wwe version of broken Matt Michael Cole literally before the match started effectively Apologized for what we were about to watch right there on tv Vince McMahon told us that he thought this was and you're an idiot if you liked it And if that's not enough on the talk is Jericho podcast Matt recalled Vince watching it in the gorilla position and outright saying I don't get it. So if that's not enough On this list, I don't know what is the broken gimmick It it had so much internet appeal and then people were getting behind it. It's just I don't think Obviously Vince wasn't fully behind it. He didn't understand why people were liking it And when Vince doesn't understand it Even if he may give you a chance If it doesn't blow him away It's it's one of those things where it's like, okay. Well We tried that's how Vince came off. It's like, uh, if it didn't blow him away Or if he didn't really see just the real impact of it It had to be shoved in his face by the fans It was a good chance that he was gonna can it Christian Similarly to Matt Hardy Christian was someone that gained a lot of success in wwe throughout the company's most successful periods of the late 90s And early 2000s predominantly in the tag division with his kayfabe brother edge And also like Matt Hardy Vince saw his brother as the biggest star Well edge would go on to establish himself as one of the most successful single competitors in company history Christian would be forced to forge a path outside of wwe to be viewed the same way Christian would find success across in tda winning their big one on two separate occasions Why did christian struggle to find similar success in wwe one contributing factor Vince thought he was ugly to the point that vince famously wanted to put a blue dot over christian's face whenever he was on screen Wow, you ever need more of a reason to believe that vince big man put on shows just to entertain himself during the abraham washington show in 2009 remember him aw went off on one about how ecw champion christian was ugly aw the ventriloquist doll puppeting vince's madness and revealing to the world why christian continued to struggle in vince's Damn i did not know that number eight dusty road. Damn.   I don't believe in you.  Yeah arriving in the wwf in 1989 is one of wrestling's biggest names after hugely successful Stints in the nwa and jim crocket promotions in particular Vince seemed to be out to sabotage the american dream from the word go The polka dots were perhaps a way to stick it to the man who worked for his competitors for so long But regardless dusty took them in stride and still remain massively over. Yeah roads went Unfortunately reach nowhere near the same level of success however and would finish his active wrestling career in fairly unmemorable fashion Dusty was approaching the end of his active in ring career by the time he arrived in the wwf So was unlikely to be pushed to the main event during the era of hulk over the ultimate warrior However, his treatment seemed awfully counterproductive for vince as he was still such an asset despite his age Dusty would leave in 1991 to become a booker for wcw an occasional on-screen character Only eventually returning to work for vince in 2005 this time around dusty was rightfully celebrated for his legacy And would become a key figure behind the early days of nxt Was passing in 2015 wrestling number seven cesaro in late 24 called it I said it and I said it but to get in video cesaro is one of those guys that the fans love But vince wasn't really too high up on i'm sure he appreciated his work, but it's his microphone abilities vince wasn't a big fan of obviously Cesaro his microphone abilities. It's it could be desired. It's to be desired You know it's serviceable But I feel like vince wanted a lot more from him Vince McMahon appeared on the wwe network stone cold podcast and implored talents such as cesaro to grab the infamous brass ring According to McMahon the reason for cesaro's lack of a serious push by that point was because he lacked it Quote unquote Yeah, okay, vince Let's just ignore the fact that cesaro was easily one of the most over talents on the roster earlier that same year when He won the andre the giant and the thing is he actually I forgot to mention. He did have mouse pieces Around him too, you know and I think at one point he was aligned with paul hayman And I believe he was aligned with zepp culture all this other stuff But it once again vince was just like man, I don't get it. I don't see it yet Morial battle royal the aforementioned battle royal wins seemed destined to be the catapult for cesaro to get to the main event spot That he's so rightly deserved But instead it led to an ill-advised heel run and partnership with paul hayman While cesaro could have undoubtedly benefited from having a legendary mouthpiece like hayman by his side He always felt like an afterthought to brock lesnar throughout this run and was never quite hayman's main attraction In the years following this cesaro would achieve success most notably perhaps as one half of the bar was shameless But he would only get very minuscule tastes of the main event scene prior to his departure in 2022 Cesaro had all the tools to become a main event presence in wwe Curse you vince you are the one that dropped the ball number six diamond dallas page Following wwe's victory in the monday night wars against wcw It was inevitable that vince would look to ingest as much of the former competition's talent as he could to bolster his roster That is if their contract wasn't too big in which case by all means sit out However, as we've already learned vince mcman is a very very petty man When it came to the wcw roster it was evident that he rarely ever wanted them to look as strong as his wwf loyalists There was perhaps no greater example of this than diamond dallas page A wcw main state and former three time world heavyweight champion Page was a perennial babyface and an unlikely star for ted turners company So given the popularity of page what kind of character would vince mcman design for page's eventual debut? Any guesses? Well, if you said creepy voyeuristic stalker, you are correct bafflingly Page debuted as the mystery stalker of the undertaker's then wife sarah Who had been the subject of unsettling video camera recording vignette for months after revealing his identity on the june 18th 2001 episode broth to a massive pop by the way Ddp revealed he only stalked takers wife to get to the dead man who proceeded to destroy page in the subsequent feud And that was that really page went on to do not much else of note in his short wwe tenure save for a brief run with the european championship before sadly being forced to retire due to a neck injury in april 2002 the real kicker here is that page took a massive pay cut to come to the wwf for the invasion He could have sat on his tour to contract like hall gnash goldberg and hogan did but he wanted to wrestle for vince And this is how vince repaid him Taz Taz despite a relatively small stature was a man to be feared during his time in ecw The human suplex machine was a legit badass that carried himself as such and would become one of paul hayman's biggest success stories Winning pretty much every title he had to offer across a six-year spell in ecw Taz's wwf debut at the 2000 royal rumble might be the most perfect wrestling debut ever He came out to a huge new york pop He destroys the unbeaten curt angle and puts him to sleep with an illegal chokehold But the problem was he came from ecw, which means vince took one look at him and said well, you're the hardcore guy now then So taz went from beating the unbeatable future wwf champion to feuding with the big boss man and prince albert Next thing you know, that's it for taz. He teamed with fellow ecw alumni raven for a forgettable tag run And then just one year after an incredible debut in the rumble He was eliminated from the 2001 royal rumble in a matter of seconds with a sign that said my crap is bigger than taz Which might as well have been written by vince bickman himself as previously mentioned Taz was not the biggest individual and in the land of the giants This is always likely to work against you after numerous injuries taz would successfully transition to commentary And become a staple of the smackdown booth alongside michael cole as good as taz was and still is at commentary It is hard not to ask. What if when it came to his in-ring wwe Taz was uh Fantastic and still pretty you know pretty good uh on commentary. It's just we know they didn't vent It's it's the vent show. It's what he sees where you came from He's gonna put you in that category and that's pretty much it you either make it work or Oh, well, good luck number four zack rider When it comes to who gets pushed in wwe very rarely did vince bickman not have 99.99 for some of the same things So if you're not seen as a star in his eyes, I hope you enjoy sitting in catering pal Nobody perhaps fit this bill more than zack rider or maybe cremo or jtg for real It felt like those two were employed forever and to zack riders credit However, he was not simply content with languishing away instead. He would start up his very own youtube channel To begin a series on a z true long island story The series garnered rider a massive following throughout 2011 leading to fans hijacking shows with we want rider chance Until wwe were forced to take notice now. You've got to remember This was before youtube was this major thing that it is now and wrestling twitter was still in its infancy However, we were hastily reminded that more often than not if you go against the will of vince bickman And get yourself over organically without wwe's backing you dually be brought back down to earth Despite throwing rider a bone by giving him a united states championship run in late 2011 He was well and truly dismantled and I had to I knew this was going to be the image Once they threw him off the stage with a neck brace I knew he was dead. He was done That whole eve torres and john cina's storyline. I knew He was finished vince was done with him He got over organically without wwe help Only for him to get pushed Off the stage into oblivion humiliated on tv constantly in early 2012 Look at that specifically throughout john cina's rivalry with kane and onscreen romance with eve torres The icing on the cake was getting kicked square in the gonads by torres at russell mania 28 Effectively extinguishing the rider fire for good and sending him back to catering for eight more years wwe spent all of 2011 burying twitter because guys like rider got over because of it Fast forward one year and they're slapping the trending sticker over the end of an era segment Like that's what matters at that moment had rider gotten himself over on tout Maybe things would have been different. Number three The fiend after six years of character mismanagement the spring of 2019 saw a true revival for bray Wyatt No longer the swamp dwelling cult leader and instead a children's tv show host carrying extremely unsettling undertones The birth of the firefly funhouse was a breath of fresh air for bray and wwe Though it should be noted that the firefly funhouse was literally born out of those six years of bad booking At the center of all of it. However was bray's new alter ego the fiend who provided one of the most truly unsettling character designs in wrestling history And gave bray a new horror villain character that was simply indestructible That is unless you're going up against a 53 year old goldberg Oh, yes in what is still arguably one of the worst booking decisions of all time The fiend was fed to oldberg after months of dominance just Baffling proving precisely why the fiend should have been kept away from the title scene in the first place The mystique of the character was damaged beyond repair at that And that was a few months after the hell in a cell debacle And it's not even getting into the maddening randy orton storyline that went on for months And had no satisfying conclusion outside of randy orton squashing the fiend at wrestlemania Absolutely atrocious for such a creative character for vince mac man This supposed creative genius to have no idea how to book him vince and bray notoriously clashed creatively very often Which would eventually lead to why it getting released and receiving the difficult to work with label Effectively meaning that bray simply called mac man out for his garbage creative. Thank god This wasn't the final chapter for why in wwe as it once seemed to be number two i'm so glad that he's you know He's able to kind of you know have his creative freedom But they don't let him go too overboard, you know what i'm saying and i like what they're doing with him now man I've said this time and time again bray Wyatt should have never been One to go for the title That's not his mo His mo is never when when they created the break the the fiend gimmick It wasn't for him to go after the title. It should have been for him terrain terror on everyone You know i'm saying i it would it it would have made sense kept him from the title scene For a little bit, you know saying at some point maybe put them in the mix But once again a character like that doesn't really need the title to be over, you know i'm saying so But either way Hey, you know things happen for a reason and now we have bray doing what he's doing now Dean ambrose This is another john moxley flourishing a e w as a no-nonsense foul mouth bad ass has truly shown just how much wwe and vince mcman missed the mark with his character despite showing glimpses of his current best The wwe version of dean ambrose always felt like a bit of a caricature Ambrose was labeled as unhinged and a lunatic But often came off as a bit corny and not a balanced blending of the character and the real person at times And when wwe attempted to change ambrose's character after many years with his 2018 heel turn It was so dreadfully botched that it provided the nail in the coffin for ambrose's wwe tenure What could have been the catalyst to see ambrose lose the shackles and show that rougher side Instead saw him get dressed up as a wish version of bane Facts and get inoculations on camera to protect himself from the wwe universe Had it been a year and a half later. He might have been on to something rewatching that segment in particular though Is painfully evident just how bad mox knew the material he was given was nothing more than the creatively devoid You people are disgusting heel heat that was so beneath mox's town. So just like mox be mox vince Why did you have to make everything so lame? And number one almost every nxt call-up ever there we go carrying cross keith lee the ascension tyler brees bobby rude the revival rusev ty dillinger alistair black on draught a ec3 the viking raider sanity aop hit row American alpha hideo atami peat done. Yep. Okay Breathe probably forgetting a few But is there anything more to say there while there have been numerous nxt alumni that have successfully made the transition to a Vince McMahon led main roster the number of botched call-ups is truly staggering And while some have stuck around or found their way back to the company recently So many have slipped through wwe's grasp which is a huge shame The sheer frustration caused in seeing a character being developed for years in nxt Only to be completely gutted on the main roster was painful Some were given helmets.  I guess That sounds about right wwe And that's our list did we forget he he was spot on with the number one spot all in a most the majority of the nxt call-ups have been Fucking underutilized But some of them are being able to you know fix their Uh fix their character development and hopefully going forward any more nxt call-up won't have to deal With just being instantly screwed over and damn near buried Before you even actually get a chance to show your talents to more of the casual audience, man So comment down below. Let me know which wrestle you feel like vince Truly dropped the ball on if they were on this list or not on this list or mention Let me know down below, but I appreciate all the love and support you guys have shown on channel road to 150k appreciate y'all kicking me. See y'all next one. Peace
