You need to stop reality shifting or at least you need to stop trying to shift your reality and quantum jump and all this stuff In the way that most people are doing it if you watch this video I'll tell you why please watch the very end because the biggest warning and kind of like the danger thing It's gonna be right at the end and I won't keep you long This will just be a few minutes if you don't have a few minutes to watch this then it's not gonna be good You know you're gonna probably run into some trouble So the chances are you've heard of this thing called reality shifting You've been trying to shift and like move your reality from one thing to another and that's great You know that's in my opinion That's what everybody should be doing is to try and like think about what timeline or you know what reality They want to be having and then focus on that and then shift that to change to that timeline But what's happening is a lot of people are getting very preoccupied with the concepts of oh I need to change things from this timeline to the other timeline and then just enjoy that timeline as if it's some kind of Video game don't do that. Okay, so don't try and shift in that way And if that's what you're doing then you need to stop doing it because the true reality shifting in my opinion is where? You basically become the different type of person you become a different type of person who would move from this timeline to another timeline A lot of you are trying to do is to say I don't like this reality So I'm gonna just shift to another one without changing the person I am I'll just wake up and just kind of be in this other timeline I get that and I get why that's appealing but that's not quite how it works and don't worry You know before you leave some crazy hate comment or something. I haven't lost my mind I'm still with you. I will explain how it works the way it works is that in the quantum realm in well more specifically in the holographic Reality world that we're in there's an infinite multiplicity of stuff going on infinite number of timelines infinite number of possibilities This has been called different things in by different religions and different spirituality belief systems throughout time Some might have called it source infinity God the void the multiverse the alternative space if you've read Reality trans serving a whole bunch of different descriptions. Basically what it means is The array of potential like all the possibilities that could happen all the different timelines all the different possibilities Well, they don't tell you well they do but what you're not listening to really is that in order to actually shift from one to the other You need to actually become a different person and that has to happen first before you can just jump and like shift to the other timeline So you need to stop trying to think of it as this instant thing It's more of a process actually, but it can happen instantly when you know how it works Because you can change who you are in it one second And so what happens is a lot of you try and kind of shift without changing the person you are you can change in a second And that's why it can get a bit confusing because yes, you can change you can shift in one second You can change the person you are the belief systems you have Instantly this happens usually with near-death experiences with profound danger experiences trauma This can happen very quickly but for most of you it doesn't happen quickly it happens as more of a process And so what you're really doing is you're becoming a different person who gives off a different vibrational signature And then by doing that by giving off that different vibrational signature the potentials like all the different timelines It doesn't have a choice But to move you to that timeline because that's the best energetic match for you think of it Like if you're a radio if you tune the dial to the frequency of let's say 20 It's going to be very hard for the radio to keep playing the frequency of 10 because you're not tuned to that frequency If you change the channel on your TV to channel 6 and you were watching channel 3 It's almost impossible that the TV will then show you channel 3 because you've changed what you're tuned to and The only difficult part is that to change that channel like to change your frequency Usually as an instant it usually takes a bit of time Now it can happen quickly and like I said it can technically happen instantly But most of you are not having these life-changing near-death experiences every day or you know an experience of extreme Profound realization or trauma you can have those experiences with things like psychedelics with profound danger or trauma like I said or in Rare cases you can just induce them yourself through dreams or meditation But most of you are going to have it as more of a process and that's fine You know it doesn't have to be instant. It's still going to happen. It still will happen for you In my opinion need to stop with this kind of like instant shifting idea and just transition to focusing on Okay, how can I become the person who would naturally be on that timeline? I know that's not as sexy It's not as exciting But that's what's actually gonna work and if you're still watching now And if you've been watching these shifting videos and you've been trying to do it the old way The chances are it hasn't happened yet and you know, this is a pretty good time to start thinking about okay It's not worked yet. What can I do about it? And this is the best way so Yeah, probably not what you were expecting and I understand if you want to just you know leave a dislike leave a comment or something I don't know, but yeah, this is just my honest humble opinion based on all the research I've done I've spent probably thousand of hours looking into this stuff and in order to really change the time when you're on it is possible and Very don't want to say easy simple It's simple, but not easy because it's more of a process But there are things you can do to speed up that process Which I'm gonna try and put some links in the description, but if not just watch my other video about all the stuff that I talk about in this channel


Hi, and welcome to the presentation of the paper, Cryptographic Analysis of the Bluetooth Secure Connection Protocol Suite. My name is Olga Zanina, and this is a joint work with Mark Fishlin from Darmstadt Technical University. If you're watching it using Bluetooth devices, these might be a right video for you. You probably heard about Bluetooth low energy in the light of contact tracing, but this is one of the modes in Bluetooth. Bluetooth technology comes in two different variants, classic and low energy. Bluetooth classic is used for connections with continuous data streams, like headphones, controllers, cars. In contrast, Bluetooth low energy is typically used when power consumption is a concern and data is transferred periodically. For example, in fitness trackers, smart homes, pacemakers. There are also devices that support both variants of Bluetooth, like smartphones. In this presentation, I will focus on Bluetooth low energy. To encrypt the data between two devices, the first need to establish a key. In Bluetooth, there is a bunch of protocols for key exchange with different levels of security, and the strongest one is called secure connection. Now you might ask me, why do we need yet another analysis? Bluetooth protocol is out there for such a long time. Wasn't it analyzed already? Well, there were indeed some papers with analysis of key exchange in Bluetooth. However, they had some drawbacks. First, they always considered only standalone protocols and proved them to be secure. Second, they modeled the protocol not close to the standard. For example, the analysis assumed that a fresh Diffie-Hellman share is used in each connection. However, the standard allows to use the same Diffie-Hellman share in up to eight connections. This also caused a problem in Lindell's analysis where the session identifiers were defined via only these Diffie-Hellman shares and strictly speaking, the result in the paper cannot even guarantee a correctness property for the protocol. Another thing is that Lindell and Zoom in their papers assumed that the entire Diffie-Hellman code point enters the computation, while the standard uses only X coordinate of the Diffie-Hellman code point. Trancozo and Hale in their paper pointed that out and correctly used only the X coordinate. Okay, but why is it important to analyze the entire protocol suite? Why can't we just take the most secure protocol in the suite and use it for all the devices? Well, devices have different features such as input and output capabilities. Hence, we cannot rule out some protocols because all of them are used. In addition, there is a range of various most in the medial attacks on protocols starting from reflection and troll confusion attacks up to done great attacks on the encryption key size and the attacks on the authentication property where the adversary can even learn the encryption key. One of such attacks is presented in the paper by Zanatal from the user links last year. Imagine we have a user who wants to connect their keyboard to the screen. For this, the screen will display some digits which user must type on the keyboard. Looks good, right? But there is a monster in the medial attack going on at the same time. For this, the adversary connects its fake screen to the keyboard of the user. When the user inserts the digits, the adversary learns them. Then the adversary enters these digits on the fake keyboard and successfully connect to the user's screen and establish the session key with the user. Now, with all this in mind, we can move to the contribution of the paper. We give the first analysis of the entire CQ connection protocol suite. Because of all this monster in the medial attacks, we could not show Bluetooth protocol to be in authenticated key exchange. So we analyze the suit as trust on the first use key exchange. Then we also investigate a privacy mechanism available in Bluetooth low energy. And a small bonus, we also give a precise and exhaustive description of the Bluetooth key exchange protocol suite. First, I will present you the security results. But before jumping to them, I will briefly show their protocol flow. Bluetooth key exchange consists of the initial connection where the devices connect for the first time and establish a bond and a reconnection when the boundary devices want to communicate with each other again. For the initial connection, the devices start with connecting on the physical level where both send their device addresses for identification. After that, the devices need to connect on the logical level where they exchange their device-specific information such as input and output capabilities of their devices. Finally, they can start their parent process where they first perform the elliptic of Diffie-Hellman key exchange to send each other the Diffie-Hellman shares. Then they exchange some random nonsense and then they set a key confirmation to check the derived shared key. For the reconnection step, the devices again need to connect on the physical level if they are not connected yet. Then they can go directly to the session key establishment and derive a session key from the shared secret which they establish it during the initial connection. This encryption key will be then used to encrypt the communication between the devices. Now, how does the trust-on-first-use model work in this case? During the initial connection, the adversary stays passive and can only if drop the communication between two devices. When the devices are reconnected, the adversary can be active and affect the communication by modifying the messages, dropping them, revealing the encryption keys, and so on. Now, I will show you the model that we use to analyze the key exchange in Bluetooth. We used a game-based security model in the Lara Rockaway style. We aimed for two security properties. First property is key secrecy, which intuitively means that the encryption key remains secret. So when we give the adversary the real key and some random string, the adversary cannot efficiently distinguish between them. The second property is match security, which consists of the two conditions. First, the sessions that are partnered must derive the same session key. Second, not more than two sessions must be partnered. To capture the adversarial behavior, we give him the access to the oracle. The test oracle is used for key secrecy, and the reveal oracle allows the adversary to learn the session key. Send lets the adversary to send any messages to the arbitrary sessions. Init session and reconnect oracles are used to establish a session with the initial connection or with the reconnection if the devices have been bounded before. Finally, we allow the adversary to choose when the devices change their Diffie-Hellman share with the next BK oracle. Before presenting the results, I will show you the assumptions that we used to achieve these results. First, we used PRF or DH assumption from the paper by Brenda Letell from crypto 2017. Then we also assumed that IS used for session key derivation is a pseudo-random function. We also assumed trust on first use so the adversary stays passive during the initial connection and becomes active during the reconnection of two devices. We showed that under these assumptions, the secure connection protocol suite is a secure trust on first use key exchange. You can check the bounds and details of the proof in the paper. Now we can go to another part of the contribution which is privacy analysis. Prior to that, most of the analysis looked into privacy as linkability of the physical characteristics of the devices such as the strength of the signal. There is a paper by Sunatal in Censored Journal which started the linkability of the cryptographic transcript in Bluetooth key exchange protocol. They pointed out correctly that the devices can be easily linked if they use the same Diffie-Hellman share in several connections. However, they only focused on secure connection and did not give any analysis of the address randomization mechanism which is essential for the key exchange and done before the devices enter the secure connection stage. The privacy mechanism in Bluetooth allows the devices to use non-resolvable random addresses instead of their physical MAC addresses. Non-resolvable addresses are just random values that are generated new every certain period of time. It doesn't contain any information about the device and that is why it can be used only in initial connections. Opposite, the resolvable addresses consist of some random value prunt which is then concatenated to the ciphertext. This ciphertext is derived from the prunt encrypted with the identity-resolving key. To resolve the address, this identity-resolving key must be distributed to the device. Therefore, this type of addresses can be used only in reconnections. The identity-resolving key is unique for the device and the same key is distributed among all the devices with which the initial device is bounding. But if there is an adversary among these devices, then the identity-resolving key is compromised for all of the connections. We also used a game-based model for the analysis of privacy. Here we aimed for the property which we called outsider privacy. Intuitively, it means that the adversary cannot link the target device. That is, he cannot distinguish the target device from some other identical device. Second, it also means that the identity-resolving key of the target remains secret. We make the adversary passive and model his behavior by giving him the access only to the test oracle. This oracle gives back the transcript between a device and either the target or some other device. Now let's look into the results that we received. I will again start with the assumptions that we used. As I mentioned before, we assume the adversary is passive and cannot learn the identity-resolving key of the target device. Then we assume that D.V. Hellman shares are new in each session or the device, the device can be easily linked, what was shown in the paper by Soonatal. Next, we assume that the target device uses the same device-specific information as the devices, from which the adversary is trying to distinguish the target. Finally, we assume that AS, which is used to encrypt the random value prompt, is a pseudo-random function. We proved that the address-randomization mechanism achieves outside the privacy under the assumptions that I mentioned, with a decent level. That is, the bound does not achieve the cryptographic standard of two to the power of minus 60, but the mechanisms sound due to the difficulty to mount the attacks with the big number of the devices. Note that this result does not rule out the linkability of the devices based on their physical characteristics, such as the time with which the new address is generated or the strength of the signal. Let's wrap up the talk. We showed that the CQ connection protocol speed provides basic common key requirements in trust and first use model under reasonable assumptions. We showed that Bluetooth low energy achieves outside the privacy when we rule out physical traceability. We also found out, and I would like to mention that, that the Bluetooth standard code cost specification is extremely hard to navigate through. It has a huge size of 3,000 pages and lack of clarity in terminology. For example, when it comes to the desired security properties, the standard is rather vague because the requirements are not specified or subsumed under imprecise terms. This concludes my presentation. Thank you for watching. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me by email.

Thanks for joining us and be sure to look up there other sessions. Take care, Jonathan. Thank you. Before our next speaker, we have a short video from Morantis, so let's roll the video. Does Morantis know how to build open-stack clouds? Do Russians know how to drink vodka? Morantis, we know how to build open-stack clouds. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Boris Rensky. Thank you, Bear. So, my marketing team asked me to integrate the Bear into the presentation, so I couldn't think of anything other than just put the Bear there in the title slide, so Bear. And now I'm going to dive right into it. So, very dramatic, dramatic change in sentiment from Bear to Piecharts. So, this is a Gartner study. It's kind of like a Gartner-themed conference, it seems like. So, we didn't like Gartner very much in Morantis three years ago when they were saying that open-stack is not ready and open-stack is crap. Now, it seems like they changed their mind.  So, with that, we like Gartner-Morantis. So, whoa. So, we're going to talk about this. So, this is a study that Gartner came out with in May of last year. Problems encountered by 95% of private clouds. And Gartner used a lot of labels to describe the categories of problems, and a lot of his labels are kind of ambiguous. Me being Russian and all, it's kind of hard to figure them out. So, I try to really bring them down to simple terms and dissect them down. So, let's just kind of roll in there. So, the first one we're going to talk about is, this is 31%, by the way, the failures of all private clouds is the failure to change the operational model. So, what does that exactly mean? So, I've kind of tried to translate it, and I haven't practiced internally with some of my colleagues explaining, and it seems to have resonated. So, I'm going to try on you. So, to explain that, I think it's good to look at the public and private side-by-side and just look at the cloud stack. So, at the base of every cloud, there is typically some sort of cloud software. It can be OpenStack, it can be something else, but cloud software has to be there. Now, this is not the end of it. The next thing that's always there is actually the operations team. And oftentimes, people implementing a cloud don't think about it very much. They just think I'm just going to put the software there and it's going to run itself. Unfortunately, that's not the case. Software needs to be run by people. It needs to be patched. It needs to be upgraded. And, ultimately, that's what defines the experience for the cloud tenant. And cloud tenants are there on top. So, when we talk about the failure to change the operational model in the enterprise as the failure for private clouds, what, in my understanding, Gartner really means is that basically when it comes to public clouds, there's a whole bunch of DevOps ninjas that are constantly running around and putting out all kinds of fires so tenants don't notice. But if you go to private cloud paradigm, you get into the enterprise world. And in the enterprise world, what you get is basically a bunch of VMware sysadmins that are trying to tackle the same exact problem. And this paradigm is new to them. So, no matter how committed they are and how hard they're trying, they oftentimes fail, tenants don't get a very good experience, and people blame the software. The point here is that no matter how good the software is, it can never make up for the expertise and competence of the operations team in the organization. Let's look at the next one. This is the second biggest one, and that's doing too little. So, what's doing too little? Very vague. And I didn't understand it myself for a long time, but then I kind of related it to a real story, a real experience that we had at Mirantis. Some years ago, when we were just getting started in OpenStack and trying to adopt an OpenStack cloud internally. So, here's the story. We have a training team that does a whole bunch of training certifications, and they needed a cloud to host the training labs. And they're part of my team, so they reached out to me and I at the same time was lucky to learn that actually our IT has adopted an OpenStack cloud. So, I'm like, okay, well, let's put these guys together, they'll figure it out. So, the first thing that happens is our IT sends a link to the training folks, and the link is so long, it's an IP address and slash and a bunch of stuff, so long that you have to copy paste it into the browser address bar to even get there, impossible to type in. And then when you click enter, you basically get to this. So, the training team looked at it and said, okay, well, how do I log in? Like, isn't it supposed to be integrated with LDAP or what's the deal here? So, they're asking IT, can I get access? And what they get in return is, well, you know, you have to file a Jira ticket and we'll create a tenant for you. Like, okay, well, that's something. So, the next thing is, you know, they open up the Jira page, it says, well, you have to specify the number of VMs you'll be using at peak and how long you need the tenant for. And they're like, we don't know. So, the reply from IT is like, how do we know how to charge to your budget the resource you're going to be using in cloud? And the reply back is, well, you know, it's cloud, right? It's supposed to be on demand, it's supposed to be metered. Isn't that the point? Like, well, you know, actually, yes, but at this first stage of implementation, we just decided to put this thing there and see how people start using it. And if people start using it a lot, we'll do the second stage and we'll add all the cool bells and whistles such as metering. Like, okay, well, great, let me know when it's done. I'm going to go to public cloud for now. So, the point, again, is that open stack that IT could have implemented there. This cluster could have been super solid, excellent HA, never go down. But with this form factor of implementation, there's literally zero value above and beyond just requesting VMs from IT via filing jury tickets. And if you actually go down the circle more and more, you'll see that only 6% of all of the private cloud problems are really attributed to actual technology. Everything else is either people or process. There's nebulous terms describing each one, but it boils down to people and process. So, where does this leave us? Successive open stack is one part technology and nine parts people in process. Another way to think about it is if you're trying to succeed with open stack in your organization and you're embracing open stack just as technology, then you will most likely fail. The interesting thing is that this may be very obvious, but it's amazing how common we start a project at Marentus. And nowadays we try to tackle the people in process problem. And we look for free things. We look for an enthusiastic sysadmin that wants to make open stack succeed. We look for an anchor tenant that we can work with right away so that it can partner. And then we try to define some sort of metrics of, you know, what the success would look like for that tenant, right? So, we almost always get the enthusiastic sysadmin. But the project starts off with, you know, I want open stack with Sahara and Cloudera Hadoop and Contrail Networking and also some Kubernetes maybe Meso sprinkled on the side. The problem with this approach is that this may be a way to go, but the objective of the project is not really necessarily to get the organization to transform. It's really to get the guy that you're working with, which is typically just the enthusiastic sysadmin, to get a bunch of notches on his resume that he worked with all of his cool technologies, where after he can really just kind of go and use his resume to go find another job. And it's a very hard problem to tackle because people in process is boring. Technology is really exciting. So, how do we tackle this people in process problem today in most cases, right? So, there's two ways that you can tackle it and there's two ways that people look at things in terms of extremes really. One way is that you can go private cloud and today most of the time that implies basically taking all of your VMware sysadmins and turning them into DevOps engines. Also changing a whole bunch of process doing all of it yourself and that's really hard. The other option is to go public cloud. And people say that public cloud technology is so great and it's awesome and it stays up all the time. It's not really. I think the value of a public cloud is more about short-cutting the people in process problem in the organization, not so much the technology thing. And today, we kind of see this world in these two extremes. You can private, do everything yourself, or public, which is basically give up on all of your people, give up on all of your process, close all your data centers and go public. Now, if you look at reality, historically, things are not black and white. Things are very gray in the world. And what we see is the two only viable options today, which is public cloud, which is give up on everything, or private, do everything yourself, are really the extremes of a broader scale, which will get increasingly broader as the market continues to grow. And in between those two extremes, there is a whole bunch of other operational models. Some of them we started to see already now, such as managed private cloud, or managed private cloud on-prem, or different startups doing appliances that they can give you and you can manage it through some sort of interface. And we've seen just a few, few of those emerge today. Now, at Morantis, this in-between is really kind of our bread and butter. The reason why we've been successful, in my view so far, is because we started tackling the people-in-process problem in the private cloud space before we actually started addressing the technology problem. Technology has always been the afterthought for us. So, I wanted to close with a little bit of a public cloud bashing. So, I know that public cloud is really, really hot right now. And, you know, I'm fully expecting you guys will stand up and start throwing tomatoes at me.  So, but I just wanted to kind of put things in perspective. I think that public cloud is a great thing. I'm a big fan of AWS. I think that AWS really started this huge new disruption in the industry. It showed the world how to build applications against the data center instead of building them against the computer. And if it wasn't for AWS, I don't think any of us would be sitting here. OpenStack wouldn't exist. CloudStack, Eucalyptus, all of these cool things would not exist. But putting things in perspective, you have to look at the bigger market. And AWS is just, you know, kicking butt $10 billion in run rate, but there's dot right there. Now, if you look at, and this is gardener statistics, by the way, data center infrastructure virtualization market, it's $130 billion. And this is the market that AWS is disrupting just with EC2, not with all of the other stuff. And then if you look at all of the other aspects of the market, such as, you know, application, delivery, building, et cetera, all of the IT market that basically is being influenced by this disruption, it's $3.5 trillion. So, the point I'm trying to make is that we're just at the beginning of a disruption. And thinking of the world in terms of just public or private is a very simplistic way to think about it. There's going to be many different operational models, such as managed private or appliances or all kinds of things, that we've only seen a sliver of today that will be fueled and created by this disruption. And all of them, all of these operational models, will likely lend themselves to take advantage of a fabric like OpenStack. So, thank you. Thank you, Boris. Thank you. You know, you never know what Boris is going to say, but you know he is always going to tell you what he really thinks.


Welcome back to our coverage of the Green Turtle Classic. Great first game between Denison and Dickinson. Huge waves of momentum. Join now by Dave Webbs, the coach of Dickinson. Your kids fell behind 3-0 here. What in that middle portion of the game allowed them to get back? And at one point, you guys had a 6-4 lead here in this game. Well, we were tight to start. And I think it was pretty obvious we were doing a lot of uncharacteristic things, missing a lot of shots early on. And I think we could have had an opportunity to establish some momentum. And so we settled down a little bit. And after getting behind 3-0, we made it a game caught back up. As you mentioned, we got ahead. And just not enough, I think, poise at the end there to finish up. Obviously, Chris Thomas for them made a couple of huge saves.  What was key for them to keep Menard out of the game for you? Because they really kept him from being a factor here. Yeah, and obviously, they're a good team and played well. And I don't know if it was so much what they did or what we didn't do.  We're a younger team. And this game felt a little bigger at times to the guys and shouldn't have. But I think that showed in some of the offensive spacing and tightness. What is an opportunity like an event like this where you get two games in two days? And let's face it, I mean, there are two great opportunities for you on your schedule. And obviously, another one coming up tomorrow with a good opponent, Stevenson. Yeah, that's right. After a loss, I think we all want to get back right at it. So I think it's great. We got a game tomorrow. We don't have a week of practice and preparation and thinking about it. We've got to recover pretty quickly and address some things and come back tomorrow with a lot of emotion and energy. Obviously, you guys have four and two now. Thoughts on the way your season has gone overall up to this point? I think it's been a great start. And as I said, we're a young team. Got a lot of inexperienced new guys playing some big roles, and I think they're doing a great job. This was not our best effort and best game, but give Denison a ton of credit. We'll learn from this and we'll be better tomorrow night. All right, Dave, appreciate the time. Best of luck tomorrow against Stevenson. Thank you. All right, Dave Webster, joining us here. They'll play Stevenson coming up tomorrow night at 8 o'clock. You'll be able to watch all the action on sfmsports.net.


I ran to the, so I'll tell you what happened today.  I was in there alive, like Alex, shout out to Alex, he was there at the fight last night. So he's pretty tired. I see them partying till the wee hours of the night. It's like four, five a.m. And I'm like, some of his buddies are still partying over in the after parties at the Jake Paul party, Logan Paul, Floyd Mayweather, they're all out in Miami, so shout out to those guys, guys. Shout out to the Miami crew. So Alex is pretty hungover right now, I can pretty much imagine. So that's the beauty, man, the beauty is we take over one another. This is the tap, you know, I'm his tab, he's my tab, he helped me out, I was not here Friday. Friday I got, you know, I just did not want to go to work.  I see people posting, oh, it's two a.m., no offense to anybody that posts this stuff. Are you studying? I might do it. If you're studying at two a.m., what time are you waking up? Sleep is very important, guys. Do not ever, ever, ever deprive your sleep. I actually only slept three hours last night, but then I overslept. I had went to bed around 2.30, actually. California time was just 5.30. So I think I have four hours of sleep. That extra hour actually helped me. I feel fucking, in fact, magnificent right now. I got up at 5 a.m., actually, from my alarm, but then I was like, I'm gonna snooze it, next thing you know, it's like 6.20, 10 minutes before the open, man. California time of this.  So I stuck to the process, and you saw all my charts over in Twitter, guys, knocked it out of the park. It well knocked on wood, avoided all of the meme stocks. You know, sometimes that's what you need. Sometimes you don't need to think. Overthinking kills you, man. So I got up really late today. I didn't wanna wake up this late, so I was not prepared, but thank God Alex had the watch list out, and it had the MIC guys. I'm seeing what people were trading.  I waited for my fancy orders ahead, and you saw the charts, and dude, I did today, what I used to make an entire day of being an engineer. So actually an entire month, I did in one hour trading, literally one hour of trading using MIC prep that Alex did, he gave me the watch list. So I just traded those ones that were not the meme stocks, and I did in one hour, literally what I used to make an entire month being an engineer. You guys can totally do this once again, man. Trading is simple, but it's not easy. Being in shape is simple, but it's not easy. Being in shape, what you do? You eat, write, don't snack, sleep well, exercise. It's simple, that's the game plan. But then we all deviate from our process, right guys? And that's how we get clipped. So it's no different than being a day trader.    I was snacking until three hours of the night. Also, that's because my priorities are not there.  That's the simple life of that. And that's why people have these fad diets, right? Same thing with fad diets. Same thing with getting rich quick in the stock market.  I'm gonna get lucky. I'm all in, I'm gonna get lucky. And that's the same thing with a fad diet.  And then balloon back up after I get rich quick or lose weight quick. It's the same exact concept, guys. In order to make it a success, it has to be a lifestyle. How badly do you want it? And here I am. I'm gonna tell you right now, okay? This is Monday motivation for you right there. Some people don't have it. Some people do not have what it takes to become a day trader. Some people do not have what it takes to become financially independent.  That's not me. I wake up every day.    You see the difference? Some people have a fear of looking bad. So they wake up and they exercise.   But that's their goal. That's their priority. It's okay.  The guy's gonna help people. The guy's gonna help my family.  That's the type of person I wanna be, and it's okay to have fat. But once again, you have to establish what do you want, what is your priority in life?   It's okay. It is okay. I'm not saying it's bad to go to the gym. I'm not saying it's bad not to be financially independent. It's okay.  I didn't even know what money was.  I never knew I was fat or someone called me I was fat.  So once again, guys, it's okay. Figure out what your priority is. So my priority, I've changed my life around. Ever since that day when I was a kid, I wanted, so my whole thing was, when I was growing up, I was bullied, because I was poor.  I didn't even know it was women's girl's shoes. It was just on the clearance band that my dad bought me.  And I was wearing, I was riding a girl's bike.  You know the bike, they have the bar across with a guy and the girl has a little dip.  Here I'm as a kid, very happy that I didn't have a bike.  It turned out to be my sister's bike or my cousin's bike, who was a girl.  Now I'm getting bullied because I have a girl's bike?   So am I eating cupcake? If I eat a cupcake, is that a girl food? I should only be hamburgers.  But that's what it is. So ever since that day, I made an effort to not get bullied in that sense again, because I was not a big kid. I was kind of a chubby little kid, but I was a smart kid.   And that was my whole drive growing up.   You know, I remember when I was a kid, guys, there was a store called CrazyShirt or something like that, and they had a 99 cents clearance bin.  And so I filled the shirt into this 99 cents clearance bin.         I had basically, I think, two different outfits to swap around to go to school when I was young. So it began in school year. Here, you go to Kmart, and you can buy a couple items for school, a couple T-shirts, a couple sweatshirts. And I literally rotated between two or three outfits the entire week. So we wore one outfit. My mom watched this outfit, and then we would rotate back and forth.    And I'm like, what the fuck's going on? I thought it was a cool green shirt with a leprechaun on it.  So then that was when I woke up and said, that's my priority. My priority is not gonna fucking, my priority is gonna change. So you're gonna have to have some sort of traumatic experience.  Not about being cool anymore.   I went through three years without going on vacations. I saved my money.   All my money went back into my trading account during those pivotal times in the beginning when I was losing money. But I was so close.  I was like, I was so close to breaking this trading code. And no one helped me obviously because we didn't have social media back then. You guys are so privileged to have social media. You're so privileged that someone's walking around right now to tell you these things. I don't need to walk around.   You know, I don't need to make a million dollars a day for life-changing, guys. But I did make in one hour more than what I made as an engineer the entire month. That's because that is my priority. That's my focus, you know?  So that's why I woke up late and all that stuff. And I snack, so find out what your purpose is, guys. And I might be the only one that tells you quit trading.   I mean, that's what it is, man. If you treat it like that, that's what it is. You have to find out what your priorities is.  God forbid that one day I may have to put a GoFundMe account. I do not want to. That is my whole thing. My whole thing is I am not gonna beg for money because I am going to make it happen myself. I see these people with these GoFundMe accounts. It's not their fault. That's just because that's their priority.  Their priority was not to sacrifice. That priority is okay to beg for money, for assistance. I've helped a lot of people on GoFundMe without telling anybody. And I feel bad. A lot of the times they're from MIC members for some reason. Those are the people I love to help.  It's not because they're lazy, guys.   And this is why I say it's very important. It's very important to learn and save money and to have a tab. Imagine you're in MIC. Now you have a wealth of new friends to work with, to trade with, to live life with. They have the same goals as you.   You know, we all grow up guys. Some people do not grow up, but they're happy. It's okay.   I took the bus when I was young. That was my priority, was not to have a nice car.  It's my late 20s. And I made a lot of money. When I was making millions of dollars a year, which I did back then when I finally made it, I used a $35,000 car.  With a $35,000 used BMW.   I've wanted, you know, the levels are much, a million dollars right now is a lot of money, guys. But that was not my priority.   Not go to work when I don't wanna go work. I said a lot, I don't know what the topic was today, but I felt over the weekend, I felt it needed to be said, guys.  And my vision was always before to push down you must do this, you must do this.  Why, why? Now I just realize, you know what man, not everybody's made to do the same things. It's okay, guys. You know, it's okay. That's why we have the TAP program. That's why we have people help each other like that. Right, guys? Now everybody's gonna be a superstar trader.  I know I will never have a six pack and I'm okay with that. You know why?   And that to me is not worth it for me.  And I'm okay with that. Some of you guys are okay with being normal financially. Okay, some of you guys are okay with living paycheck to paycheck and that's okay.  You make excuses, guys. And that's the one thing, man. I'm gonna stop making excuses. You notice I don't make excuses.  Last week I had a big loss day.  I showed people I was off. I didn't quit MIC.   Did a webinar with Tosh to talk about it. It felt great.  Today is Monday.  I am now fucking, I was so razor sharp today. Let's take a look at my charts, guys.     I didn't even have time to be fearful. I didn't have time to panic. I just did what was instinctual that I've been doing for decades now. You can do it, too. Keep it simple, guys. Last week, I lost it because I said, I wanted to bank.  I know Alex is gonna kill it.  But you know what?  But I was one day too early and that's what happened.  And it's okay, guys.   It should be only between yourself and the person you were yesterday and become better.      I just did well today.  So going through each day with a clear head, no pressure. Pressure is what kills people in life, guys. As an Asian, as an Asian, my parents pressured me to be a doctor, to be a lawyer, be an engineer.  Pressured me to have fucking, I had 4.0, they wanted 4.4 GPA.   The pressure is what kills people. Each person has an individual personality, difference about them, right guys? Just because someone is not academically book smart, doesn't mean that they're dumb. Just because someone's book smart, doesn't mean they're smart. Their life is more than just a bunch of numbers on the paper, guys. Look at my lifestyle. My lifestyle's not the best, but I do quite well, knock on wood.   I didn't go to no Ivy Lees. My parents, where I came from, immigrants, they barely spoke, they actually spoke no English when they came over to America. I spoke no English. And look what we came out today, guys. You'd be very surprised. I speak with a perfect accent. You know, I speak like a California guy, obviously, but people wouldn't be surprised I'm an immigrant. But I am. People surprised by the color of my skin. So my whole point to you guys is this, man, we are all very individual based.  Dude, take a look at the most accessible people in the world. The most unlikely people become the most accessible.  Look at what he looked like back in the day, right? Look at him now. Same thing with Elon Musk. Elon Musk has Asperger's, right?   Anyways, it has some sort of like social skill issues, right, so let me bring someone on. I love bringing someone, it's been a long time. And then you can ask them about my traits today, guys.  Who wants to come on? Each day I speak the facts, guys. People may not like me. Yeah, I'm okay without everybody liking me. I get trolled every day and it's okay. You know, online, people love to be liked by everybody online.  Like, everyone wants to love each other, everyone's trolling each other.    You know, it's just weird. So treat your online life, guys. Use your social media to learn to better yourself, not just to fight with people online. All right, raise your hand. Who wants to talk? You don't have a camera to talk. I can't come on, bro, because at least I'd be a timbo, I'm so sorry. How'd you live? You need a camera? How do you get on Instagram with no camera? I guess it's on your PC, right? Mr. Xander. All right, man. I'll bring on the high schooler. Never drill. Hey. What's up, brother? Not much. Shouldn't you be in class with me? Yeah, I got off for summer vacation last week.   Hi, guys. I'm Xander Odom. I am 17 and in my junior year of high school. Basically, I just started training with MIC like a month and a half ago, and it's been great. 17, bro, where do you live? Give a shout out to your school. Central and California, I go to school and read Lee. Oh, that's awesome, dude. Oh my God, I wish, bro, that I started at 17. Maybe not, I'm not as disciplined as you are, man. I think you are more disciplined than me. If I started at 17, I may never train. I would say I hate training, it's a scam. So that's kind of your journey. Tell me about your journey, go ahead. So I started, like I learned about training when I was like 13 or something, but it was just, yeah, it was just like me training with $10 in Robin Hood. But you know, I wasn't disciplined at that age, like no one is, and so I didn't really take it seriously. I didn't start taking it seriously until like January of 2021, and I was just learning OTCs, but you know, there was no process with OTCs, and so I decided to join MIC because I saw that everyone was talking about how good their mentorship is. It's so true, like already within a month, I've had like way better results than trading with OTCs unlisted, and it's just been great so far. How'd you hear, so how'd you hear from a word of mouth, is that what it is? I'm getting like 17 years old, man, that's amazing, bro. Yeah, I'm really glad that I learned about trading so soon.  So teach people how to get started.  When I was like 16 and a half, I got a job, like a coffee shop, and I've just been working there, like 20 hours a week, and it's all adding up. I have like a $3,000 account to trade with, and also just start small because that's all you need.  I love it, man.     This is like the military, man. You've done something more than, dude, most people have done in their entire lives already by 17, but... Yeah, and if you've worked hard, like doing any side hustles for like even a hundred bucks, trading with that hundred bucks will allow you to like feel the emotions of it because you know you worked hard for it. So what are you trading right now? Tell us what you're learning and what is... But this is amazing, man, it's like, dude.  Why is yours cute? Oh my God. Yeah, so basically right now, when I joined MIC, I started trading long because that's what I knew on the OTC side, but like I wasn't understanding long, like I wasn't getting it, but I understood the short side. But I was always scared to short because, you know, your losses are infinite, even though like I didn't think of hard stops, but like the rules that MIC like talks about will keep you safe on the short side. And I just understood the short side a lot more. Like I just, I saw the opportunity on it way more than long. And so basically like right away, I saw instant results. I was just watching the watch list. I mean, I'm so far on six for six on trades. I'm waiting for a loss because I want losses to see what, see where I can improve. I'm just laughing, you guys hear that? He's doing so much more freaking loss to learn.  And the reason why you're not having these big losses is why. Tell everybody why. Well, I mean, I'm playing high probability setups. I started with like, I'm like four for four on low hanging fruits.  And I'm starting to transition to that because I'm getting like better risk reward for my account being under PDT. Where are you trading at that's able to do this? Are you still like rummaging? No, no, no, no. I'm trading at trade zero because I really want, I really want Cobra, but like, I'm a ways away from 25 K, but trade has been really good.  So Cobra is the best for USA guys. And trade zero, you don't have the money overseas or lower in the United States.  This is the first time we spoke each other face to face. We talked to each other online.  I know that the twin guys, those guys are freaking into it, you know? And I freaking love it. So I'm like, dude, hey Xander, I'll do this, man. I'll do this here. Hey, Tosh, you're out.    This is the least I could do.   That helps so much, that helps so much. Because I'm planning on opening a second account with trade zero, because I'm under 18, so I need my parents social security to start an account. So I'm planning on using my moms and my dads to open two accounts. And so, man, thank you guys so much.  I want you to be the, dude, this is amazing, man. You'll remember me one day. You'll be the next Jeff Bezos or something.  You remember us, little guy? Well, you pick it down there, you remember us. Oh my God, this is amazing, man. I mean, guys, you heard it right here, man. I mean, I had no clue. I didn't know that he did all this work. To be honest, man, we have so many people of members at MIC. I want to get involved in everybody's life, but I just cannot do that.   And so the best way that I can help people is to help someone like yourself who in turn helps another person. We call that paying forward kind of thing, right? Yeah. So I love the fact that you come on here, man. You've been raising your hand for the past year to get an IT live. And I just thought you're in school, you know? So I said, okay, today. And it's the consistency that I love. You see that? Xander is here waking up. Every freaking live is on here, asking to be on. To show the people. He's very proud. I'm very proud of you, brother. Thank you. I'll tell your president, dude, you know, man. And if you want to get sponsored, Xander, for any trading meetup in your school area, let us know. Let Oliver know. We will sponsor every pizza party. You cannot have beer, obviously. You'll have Coca-Cola, right?   Yeah, and I'm going to Florida, Orlando in July. So I'm planning on starting a meetup there. So if anyone wants to come, I'm gonna be planning on an after hours. Dude, I love it. I love it. This kid, let me do it. You guys, guys, I just talked about this whole thing. And this is the best ending I could ever have, man.  Thank you, you too, you too. Oh, man, this is awesome. Hey, Mac, get back to what you're doing. You're working right now, summer? Yeah, I'm working over the summer. I might do some extra hours since now I don't have school. Keep studying, man. Keep studying. And Hitup Tosh will hook you up on that annual bro. Thank you so much. All right, man. I love it, man. Thank you, man. I'll see you back in chat. All right, bye. Guys, guys, I don't know how else to end it. This has been freaking amazing when I hear this stuff, man. This kid is pure motivation. Pure motivation.  This, I don't wanna call him anymore. This is great. He's now a fellow member of MIC. He's a trader. He's a peer. Vander is now a peer. Peer meaning he's on our level. Meaning he's one of us. He's a trader. He's a day trader. He's a freaking day trader, man. At 17 years old. Hats off to Aiden, the twins as well. Man, big props to you guys, man. You guys wanna get sponsored in your school? Let us know. Go ahead, sponsor.  We will sponsor it. We cannot be around the world, but we will freaking sponsor it, guys. Thanks, guys. This is the best motivation. This is Monday motivation right here, guys. Forget how much I made and forget all that. Again, go into my charts. It's the same process we teach. We'll see you at MIC. Thanks, Xander. Man, this is freaking awesome, man. We're gonna post it all over the place, man. This is so amazing. Thanks, man. Catch you, man. I'll see you back in the room. Thanks, guys.
