the narcissist has to predict your next move when you're dealing with a narcissist it's always a constant game even when it may seem like it's not a game even when they may be smiling laughing or joking they're still plotting against you they're still trying to find a way to tear you down which is why they always need to be able to predict what you're about to do they need to be two steps ahead of you which i like to call the anticipation modes and i already did a video on this topic four years ago they have to anticipate your next move they have to imagine or expect that something will happen because your thoughts feelings actions behaviors have a lot of power they have the ability to direct and influence the behavior of other people in the course of events but they want to be the ones who are in control they want to be able to restrain your emotions and actions because then at times they also want to tend to entice you as long as they're able to determine your behavior and maintain influence and authority over you because they're very weakened and secure so they don't want to be on the receiving end of it they want to be in a position of power over you they want to be the ones who remain calm and reasonable despite provocation because despite what they have led you to believe you are very powerful and they may not realize this initially or when they're still engaged with you but when they walk away or you leave them it becomes evident to them as they are still longing and yearning to be around you it frustrates them it causes them to feel upset and annoyed as a result of being unable to change or achieve something because despite what you may have been led to believe you are actually a lot more powerful than you think and it may seem as though you're just making them angry but you also have the power to arouse sexual desire and interest in them especially deliberately to where they may even fantasize and daydream about you but then they also want to put a stop to that especially if they realize that it's something they can no longer achieve or obtain which may then frustrate them even more and make them want to take it out on someone else when all they may really want is to have something with you again but since they know that you're on to them and you're not coming back and they can't participate in the fun enjoyment and lighthearted pleasure they get mad they become hateful and envious of you and they desire to control you because the way they see it is if they can't participate then it shouldn't even exist it should be destroyed so it immediately becomes this chess game or this game of cat and mouse where they're constantly trying to hunt you down and contain you but it's actually because they realize they've made a huge mistake they just don't want to accept it they don't want to accept that they lost something to value something that could have been good to them they don't want to deal with the shame and the pain they don't want to deal with the regrets that is the last thing a narcissist wants to feel they don't want to feel sad or disappointed over something they have done or failed to do that's how they want you to feel which is why from this point it's all about making you feel regret making you feel like you made a mistake and now you can't have something with them as though you're missing out as though you now fail to benefit from something useful or fun by not taking part in it when the reality is you already knew what they were like all along that's why you shut yourself off from them when they began you to devalue you and treat you with contempt you already knew that you didn't want to be a part of that you were longing and desiring for something else where you actually felt wanted where you felt someone would do anything for you and you would do anything for them because that's what we want but narcissists actually have the arrogance of the audacity to think that you would want someone who lacks self-awareness and empathy they actually believe that you would desire to connect with someone like that when you were never looking for something like that to begin with you just wanted to have fun you wanted to have a good time which is something you're never going to experience with them and they know it because they're like a machine they're constantly anticipating what's about to happen they can't live in the present moment and that just takes all of the enjoyment away because that's what fun is it's not knowing what is about to happen it's letting things play out naturally it's unpredictable and yet they're always trying to predict how things are going to pan out with you because that's their idea of fun their idea of fun is control that's fun for them because they can't be vulnerable they can't relax and enjoy themselves because they're so worried about their image and trying to be better than other people and it's no fun being around somewhere like that and you will find that when you're around them you can't have a good time you become tense and uptight you're worried about what they're going to do next because they're unpredictable but not in a good way they're always seeking to harm you or get what over on you because they're seeking power and control they're very insecure and they lack self-love so for them it's all about getting you to see yourself in some type of way so that they can feel better at your expense misery loves company people who are unhappy take comfort in knowing they're not alone and they're suffering but because they can't uplift themselves or be uplifted by others they feel no desire to make you happy so instead you stay stuck whenever you're around them the situation never progresses they deflect their misery and pain onto you you self-love that then go home with your head down and that's just the only way that it can be it's never going to be anything different you're never going to feel like you actually had a good time there's always going to be something else playing on your mind you're never going to feel at peace with yourself following an interaction with them you're always going to second guess yourself you're always going to feel like you have to anticipate or predict something they've said or done by guesswork it's always going to be a head game with them where they deceive you by creating illusory ideas which is not real and I've already done a video on this topic as well the best you will ever get from a narcissist is an illusion it will never be anything real it will be based on a deceptive resemblance or faulty observation or influenced by emotions that prevent a clear view it will only mislead you from the truth and the truth is that they can't be vulnerable they can't let the head down because they're too uptight they have this desperate need for control where they can't be themselves around you because they feel unlovable they believe that you would never want the real them which results in now having this desperate need for control where they create alternate realities and fake worlds they create all of these different meanings and interpretations and everything they do always seems rehearsed because they fear rejection and exposure they don't want you to have that upper hand they don't want you to get went over on them they're very paranoid and hyper-vigilant so they're always on edge they're always waiting for the next shoe to drop and if you're around them long enough you will become the exact same way you will become just like them because they will train you to be attuned to their emotions they will make you receptive and aware where you're willing to accept new suggestions and ideas by receiving signals and stimuli which make you open and responsive yet they will genuinely believe that they are studying and learning you when all they're actually doing is getting a reflection of themselves because they're brainwashing you they're pressurizing you into adopting radically different beliefs by using systematic and forcible means when nothing real comes by pressure or force because they're using persuasion and intimidation to make you do something or to make you react in a certain way so all they're getting is a reflection of themselves and they're very insecure they hate themselves which just makes them lash out at you even more but they never actually see the real you all they see is bits and pieces of them or someone else because you can't be yourself around a narcissist around someone who is self-absorbed and lacks empathy empathy and compassion is what allows us to be ourselves and the company of other people the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person but because they like empathy you will never be able to be yourself around them even when you think that you are because even when you respond to certain suggestions or stimuli of the love-bombing you are giving you a facade that's not real so how can you be real if you're responded to something that isn't real which is then being reflected back to you you can only be real if you identify that what you're interactive with is not real which is why the only way you will discover yourself is by leaving them alone and in time you will find that is what brings you true happiness because they lack empathy they're unable to receive you as you actually are they have to mold you into what they want you to be so that they could disown these parts of themselves that they don't like and assign them to you and they will always see you as being fake or as though something is not right with you when there's actually nothing wrong with you at all if you do have empathy if you do have the ability to share another person's feelings or experiences by imagining what it would be like to be in their situation the problem lies with them because they lack empathy they're unable to understand you and it's because they're weak and insecure it's because they're unintelligent they're ignorant and foolish they can't see what is right in front of their eyes because they're self-absorbed they're lacking empathy and they're seeking power and control because they know that you are intelligent and that you will naturally be 10 steps ahead of them without even making an effort so they will become highly skilled in their thinking over time they feel like they're in a fight for their lives which a lot of times they are because they're holding onto their false character and the illusion which is all that they have in their lives and as i've said before there is nothing that they value outside of that so they know they've got to act fast they've got to make a decision quickly and by doing that they accumulate a lot of wrong decisions which leads them to the wrong direction a lot of times all they're getting is this reflection of themselves because they lack empathy and you're just reacting to whatever they're throwing at you you're not taking your time to think and respond from an authentic place so all they get is bits and pieces of other people things that you've learned from someone else rather than your true and authentic ideas and beliefs which is exactly what they're looking for but those are also the very things they're never going to get from you no matter how hard they try because they can't be themselves around you they fear rejection and exposure so by default all they will ever get from you is this reflection of themselves that they're trying to hide and when you finally part ways they will feel like they've got you all figured out they will feel like they know exactly who you are when in fact they've just been unknowingly studying themselves while you will walk away feeling like you're missing out on the fun and enjoyment because the entire time they were trying to control you and when you're being restrained and oppressed naturally you're going to have these thoughts and desires which they will then assume is who you are and what you're about which is why they will then come back with a hoover and try to entice you sexually because they think that's what you want when in reality you wanted something more all along and they may never tell you this but deep down that's actually what they wanted as well but they were distracted by other things things that weren't even serving them because they're very insecure so they always look for control when that control is the very thing that prevents them from getting what they want in the end it doesn't prevent you because you're free to move on and do what you want to do you're able to express yourself to anyone who's able to receive it but they're less stuck unable to express their thoughts and feelings unselfconsciously and without restraint they will never be free and natural which is what they wanted all along but they could never get it because they're just too insecure which means that they must obtain power and control at all costs and it results in them becoming very competitive but they're always trying to outdo and win up you they're always trying to fool you because deep down that's exactly how they feel they feel like they've been fooled they've been sold a lie a dream a fantasy that they're never going to receive while they see you moving on and while things may not be perfect for you you're still able to smile and be happy you're still able to live your life in a natural way you're still able to find pleasure in the little things in life which is something that they can't do which results in you becoming very mysterious to them to where they wonder why you're so happy because they just can't understand where it's coming from and they're constantly trying to attribute it to things outside of yourself because they don't understand that our happiness can be generated from within they don't know what real happiness even feels like and that will always remain a mystery to them but it's also the reason why they come around you in the first place you may think that it's because of the things you have or the life you live and while that may be a part of it it's your glow your shine your carefree attitude of being free from anxiety and responsibility which is what attracted them to you initially but over time they begin to realize that they can't be like that and they're never going to be like that so they begin to hate and envy you and then they decide to take it away from you by piling on all of these problems worries and responsibilities because they want to destroy that innocent carefree side of you once they realize that they can't be like that and they can't receive it because once you know what they're about you can't be that way around them anymore which makes them feel like something is wrong with them so now the last thing they want is for you to be that way with someone else they will do anything to destroy it because that is real love love is letting go of everything that you were told you should be everything that you were told should matter and just being in the now and apologetically and not trying to make the other person into what you want them to be but just letting them to be themselves letting them give you the answers based on what they think is important without judging them but just letting them exist as they are but narcissists are just so full of fear and shame that they can't ever do that they will always feel the need to control and the longer that you are around them you will find yourself becoming that way as well but inside of you that part of you will always be there when it's needed because no matter what they do that's just something they can't take away which is why they will always come back with a hoover to try to entice you it's not because they actually want to make the effort and give you anything it's because they know that part of you is not going anywhere so they might as well use it to their advantage instead of being on the receiving end of it where it would otherwise overpower them but it will frustrate them when they realize that they can't be a part of it it will make them want to outsmart you and confuse you it will make them want to make you look and feel bad to where they will publicly and humiliate and shame you because yes love is a serious threat to their sense of power and control so they will come back just to prevent you from moving on with someone else they will try to strip you of your free will by getting you to cave into your desires with them because they already know that it's not going to be real but if they can't do that they will play the victim they will make false accusations against you they will act to show what you're doing is bad or wrong and now they know they're on to you they figured you out they thought the puzzle there's nothing more to be said it's the be all and end all because they just can't enjoy the journey it does nothing for them they constantly seeking the end goal of bringing you down with them because that's the only thing that fulfills them they can't experience real love so it's all about tearing you down because they don't want you to feel like you have something real which is why they're so concerned about your consumption and how it leads to your fulfillment because while they might consume the very things that you do they're still not going to get the same result thank you for watching if you found this video helpful please give it a thumbs up share your thoughts in the comment

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in the U.S. on December 11 to meet with top U.S. lawmakers, the head of the International Monetary Fund and U.S. President Joe Biden, during his visit to Washington this week. Zelensky told a military audience that he hoped to still count on U.S. support amid questions over future military assistance that he is also due to meet with IMF managing director Kristalina Georgieva, on the same day as the IMF's executive board needs to review Ukraine's economic performance under a $15.6 billion loan. The board is expected to approve the disbursement of an additional $900 million to support Ukraine's budgetary needs.


Good morning to you. Welcome back to Why In The Morning and If It's Tuesday, it's Entrepreneurship Tuesday. Rwai Tufa for Channel is where you can find us across all our social media handles at Michelle. Ashira is where you can find me across all my social in this particular session. We dive into an interview that looks at customer satisfaction. I'm joined by Mr. Barak Oma, who is the HOD in charge of Diploma and Z-Tech Business Technical Institute at Z-Tech University. Karim Musana, thank you for creating time to be with us today. We're looking forward to this conversation that looks at customer satisfaction. One thing that I've noticed going through your bio and everything, you have a very rich educational background. Tell us who Mr. Baraki is, where you grew up and born and brought up. Okay. My name is Barak Oma. I grew up in a small village in Kisumu called Awasi. I started my schooling at Pala Primary and went to secondary school, to the Borro Secondary School. After that, I proceeded to Ijaton University for my Bachelor of Education degree, taking the option of Mathematics and Business, so I'm a trained teacher. And then after that, I went to Jeikwat, that is Jomakinata University of Agriculture, for my Masters in Finance. And then I'm now back again for my PhD in Business Administration Finance option. So you're very much fortunate to have you on board to talk about, to help us manuva all around about customer satisfaction for the sake of our views back at home, so that they can land one or two, three things when it comes to business. So in 2009, you got a Presidential Award scheme in State House Nairobi. So tell us about the award. The Presidential Award Kenya is just a self-development program for the young people in the country, and it offers an opportunity for the young people to develop their skills, the all-round skills, so it involves participation in community service, and also we took an expedition in Longonot area, so that was the gist of it. Ah, it's very nice.  Customer satisfaction. Now customer satisfaction can be defined in several ways, and it depends on the type of product or the brand that the company is offering, and it is simply the way the customer perceives your products, and how you are able to meet and exceed their expectations. So how do I find out or even ask if a client is satisfied when it comes to that space of purchasing a product or a service? How do I find out my client is satisfied? If a customer is satisfied, then one of the ways that you will find out is that this customer will come back to purchase the product, so that is a repeat purchase. They are likely to come back and do business again with your organization. The other way in which you can find out if the customer is satisfied is customer refers to other customers. Yes, customer refers. Okay, so let's look at the importance of customer satisfaction and how actually we can enhance it when it comes to someone who is a business. Okay, now when a customer is satisfied, your organization will also reap the benefits, as in you will improve on your sales revenue because of many purchases. Now as I've said before, a satisfied customer is able to do a repeat business with the organization. Like for example, in our case in Zitec University, if a parent is satisfied with the services that we give, then they are likely to bring to us more of his or her children again to study with us because of the services that we are giving and also we are also able to have a competitive edge over our competitors. Alright, and for someone who is running a business and they are in the process of branding and just starting off. So when it comes to creating loyal customers, how can you end up rewarding them so that you may be sure that actually I'm going to retain my clientele. Okay, first of all we have to look at now what a loyal customer means. Yes, a loyal customer is a customer who is able to do a repeat business with the organization for you to retain these customers. First of all you need to offer quality service to them, the product that you are offering, the brand that you are offering and then again you have to look at now the channels of offering these particular products and the people who are involved. So the employees also have to come in to assist you also, improve on the customer services within your organization and at Z-Tech that is what we do when you go to the reception right away from the gate. A customer feels our impact from the gate all the way to the lecture halls and even the graduation. Alright, and when we speak about loyalty, what a couple of other ways apart from just offering good product and service that we can actually win credibility for our potential client. Apart from now the service you have also to look at the quality of the product that you are offering to these customers. Yes, you have also to go ahead and look at now different ways of improving the satisfaction from the side of the customers. Alright, and I'm so sure for business owners who are out here we have a couple of them who always try to find out why my clientele is leaving, they are pointing out why your customers are actually leaving. So what a couple of courses because I know there are a couple of different, differs from a different person from one person to another but I believe there is a form of similar categories that we can actually point out so that for any business owner there they can be onto the lookout. One of the reasons why your customer may leave your brand or your product is if they are dissatisfied. So you have to continuously keep on interviewing them and looking at the ways of improving your brand. You have to keep them by offering the quality service. You have to keep on improving. In business we talk of Kaizen principle. You constantly improve and you can only constantly improve when you involve your customers at every stage of the product development. Alright, and how do you get to involve them? You get to involve them in one of the ways is maybe through live chats like a customer raises a complaint. You have to deal with the complaints right away and then you close any gaps that arose there by. Alright, so how is an effective customer marketing strategy look like? For an effective customer marketing strategy first of all you have to look at all the ways in which you are going to offer the products to the customer. You have to look at now your target market because that is the most important thing. You have to know your market, you have to know your customers first. So after that you have now to develop your product that will meet your target market. And when it comes to the significance of retail revenue to drive the business forward, what a couple of things to look out for? Now when you want to increase your revenue one of the things that you should look at is now your marketing strategies. You have also to look at the cost that you are going to spend on your marketing. You have to look at the type of the products you have to develop a product that will meet your market and then you also have to go ahead and do some marketing surveys before you settle on the strategy that you are going to use. And that is what we use. Our marketing team are always involved at the development stage of all our products. They also look at now the customers whom we have. Remember it is very costly to get a new customer than to maintain an existing customer. And actually thank you for mentioning that. I just remember that according to a statistic by marketing metrics they say that it's way easier to actually work with a really existing client which is 60-70% to sell for this particular client compared to actually acquiring a new potential client. So why do people or business owners choose to go for a new client? Investing in that space compared to just taking it back to the business and retaining your already existing clients? Most of the businesses they use both the strategies. They retain the existing customers. In Ztec that is what we usually do. We try as much as possible to retain our existing customers and we also look for now other new markets because the existing customers refer us to the new customers. Right. Talk to us about this mentality that we provide good products or services as a company or as a business. So naturally our clients will just come. So what is wrong with that mentality? That mentality of just staying put and waiting for customers to come that is one of the reasons why most of the businesses have gone under if I may use that term. You remember Blackberry, you remember Nokia. Those are some of the brands that were giants in some years but they slept on their job. So that is why you find that now if a business just sits and waits for the customers then in the long run it will be costly to them because the existing customers will also have achana the process where the customers leave the brand. Now at Ztec University what we do we don't just stay put. We go ahead to increase our customer experience. We promote our products through internal marketing of our programs and also external marketing of the programs. Alright. Take us through a couple of strategies that we can use to boost our customer retention. One of the strategies that you can use is through the use of the customer satisfaction surveys because you know what now the customer needs the specification of the items that they need the other thing is through the use of the live chats remember most of the websites are able to give you the live chat and then you can also use that now to immediately respond to the customer complaints you have also to analyze the compliments as you analyze the complaints you also look at the compliments so that you give the customer the satisfaction that is required. Alright. Is there a significant relationship between customer satisfaction and customer retention? Yes. There is a significance between the satisfaction and retention in that a satisfied customer is more likely to do a repeat purchase between the company brands. Number two, a satisfied customer is able to be loyal to your brand they are able to be loyal and a loyal customer in most of the cases they do more purchases they increase the sales revenue within your organization and also give you referrals. And also give you referrals. Yes. It's a doubles word. Yes. And for someone who is a business owner and they are wondering which couple of measures that they can take to just position themselves in a way that they can understand their customer needs. For a business owner maybe one of the things that they can do is the key thing is to know their customer you have to know your customer then you have to once you have known your customer you now develop your products or the services that you are going to offer to them according to the needs that is the key thing for a business owner. So at Zitec University that is what we take most likely to be our key strength that we know our customers we know the products that they need in the market and we know how to provide the services like the Virgin Atlantic CEO Richard Branson the founder he once said that if your customers are satisfied then that will be reflected also in your revenues and one of the things that he does the strategy that he uses is that he takes care of his employees and once the employee is satisfied then that is reflected on the services that they give to their customers and that is what we do at Zitec University What sort of a personality trade should one have when it comes to dealing with your clients because I believe you are meeting different people with different personalities so how should you handle your clientele? Now one of the trades that you have to hold when you are dealing with your customers you have to be friendly when you are offering the service you have to offer the services in a friendly way you have to be empathetic to your customers and also be able to get their views and meet them instantly so that you avoid too much complaints and what a couple of things that we don't pay attention to subconsciously when we are dealing with prospect clients One of the things that most of the entrepreneurs don't take into account in most cases are the requirements of their customers and their needs because we believe that once we provide the product in the market then the customers will just come in and buy the products and that is one of the reasons that most of the businesses do fail and what would be your advice on that? Now to the entrepreneurs they need to plan well it all comes back to the planning strategies you need to plan well on the type of products or the brand that you have you need also to protect your brand at Zitec University all of the employees including our customers they protect the Zitec brand and that is why it is a strong brand it is coming out to be a strong brand in the market you have also to provide quick customer complaints you have to sort out the complaints in a quick way and one of the ways that we have put in place at Zitec University is that apart from the other employees that are dealing with our customers we have installed or we have a call centre where all the customers complaints are channeled and then now from there we are able to guide the customer specifically to the person who is concerned then tossing the customers around from one office to the other So feedback is quite very effective? The feedback is very effective The country is into the new guidelines to just curb COVID-19 the new restrictions when it comes to movement and most of the businesses are actually online What are a couple of measures for anyone who has a business online to just ensure that I keep my customers very close to me they are satisfied and I am so sure I have retained them Yes Most of the businesses have gone online and one of the ways in which they can use to retain these customers is by giving them the quality service for example if I order an item online I as an entrepreneur will make sure that this item gets to the customer and then I have to follow up again to find out just how the customer feels about the product Yes Okay So for someone who wants to start a business during this particular time what would be your advice to that person? Now on my side this is the best time to start a business because most of the businesses particularly in Kenya have not embraced the online market so we have a very wider market in the social media for example so my advice would be if a business wants to go online then they have also to look at now the ways and the means in which they will get the items to their customers because that is the key thing will my items reach my customers in good time Yes Like in Zitec University what we have done since COVID came in is that we all onboarded all our students to the online platform through our Zitec Digital School and we are about to provide all services So it goes back to quality of the product and then credibility building credibility to your potential clients and actually existing clientele So what is your mantra for success Mr. Barak? Now for me success is meeting my clients needs and exceeding their expectations Very nice Thank you very much Mr. Barak Ouma for creating time to be with us taking us through customer satisfaction and you are very much grateful Thank you How can people find you across all the social media handles? At BOMA So if they want to reach out to you and keep the conversation going maybe an email address or something of the sort My email is barak.omaatzitec.se.ke Thank you very much Mr. Barak So that is Mr. Barak Ouma HOD in charge of Diploma and Zitec Business at Zitec Business Technical Institute at Zitec University talking to us about matters pertaining customer satisfaction So make sure to stay tuned right here at Y254 channel the hashtag to use is hashtag entrepreneurship Tuesday at Michelle Lashira is where you can find me across all my social will be right back with so much more right here online in the morning


Hello again everyone welcome to another episode of Retro Tech. Today I'll be looking at the 20L5 Sony PBM and going over specifically how to calibrate geometry on this monitor. Before I did that though I wanted to give a very thankful and special shout-out to my friend David Crowe. David did a fantastic job for me. I didn't ask him to do this but he made this fabulous background for my SD to SNES and it has my awesome logo on there. I love it and he emailed that to me today and I said man that's perfect timing because I wanted to throw it up here today on this video. We're gonna go through this monitor and we're gonna go ahead and calibrate it. So the first thing I want to do is pull up my calibration software or my screen generator whatever you use to help you calibrate. Now as I said in the past the 240p test suite is perfect for calibrating these monitors under most situations and the reason being is 240p has much more let's see well the way I want to put this let's see whenever you do something on 240p it just translates better in 480i. So 480i is a little bit more forgiving so whenever you get something set up for 240p it's gonna look you know you can't it's harder to calibrate something up to 480i because of the screen flicker or this you have a solid screen and so the best thing to do is to use something that can give you that 240p signal and that way you can use that to calibrate. Now something else people have been asking about is other things besides this you can use anything you want to calibrate really as long as it shows you a solid picture that you can go from and make adjustments to and see because if you don't you need something but you don't have to use this if you don't have it but this is just easier to use or even a DVD of some sort that generates these kind of patterns but again I don't know of one that will do it in a 240p only resolution most likely they'll put it out at 480i or 480p or something else so again use whatever you have convenient I recommend this for the Super Nintendo again so I've got my pattern here pulled up which is my great pattern again so let's take a look at what I'm gonna be doing here and what I want to do on this monitor first off this monitor has the control button over here that we've talked about in the past I'm going to press that first so I need to access my menu so that should be done by pressing the menu button first and pulling up our menu and then hitting the degauss button and enter simultaneously brings up our submenu it's very hard to see the submenu on this screen so as I said we can get to the screen up and you see here is our first thing says signal so we're not working on color today not on this monitor there is some tools you can use to actually color coordinate there or calibrate this on its own pretty much it's like a auto calibration but I don't have those tools but what we are going to do is use our up and down buttons here and we're going to look at something else we're going to look at our deflection okay so we've got our deflection stuff here we've got our horizontal raster and our vertical raster and I know we've talked about this many times before and I've gone through this but the raster horizontally so let's start with the horizontal raster we've got our H size our H center and then these left and right black black black right and then horizontal position and then these two things sub left and sub right so on this menu for our geometry we can pretty much eliminate most of these things where we're only going to be concerned with trying to use this horizontal size and this horizontal center most of the time and if our center is not helping us get to where we want we could try this position setting to get us and this is going to shift our whole screen left and right the way I calibrate my TVs I do not try to worry about getting that line directly on the edge of that screen I want to go and get that line a little bit outside of this viewing area so I want to have my calibrated screen at the end of the day I want it to be larger than the actual pictured area so all those imperfections along the sideline of and the top of the picture area I want that whole scan lined or you know picture resolution I want that whole part basically chopped out so I don't have to look at it I just prefer to see as much of the screen as possible and it's the best way to do that it's just slightly over scan your picture so think about that at the end of the day when you're using a horizontal size and centering and the grid is perfect for that that's what we're going to worry about horizontal again horizontal size horizontal center and horizontal position okay so there's another one down here for vertical same thing here vertical size of vertical center so again we're not worried about these settings we just need to consider vertical center and vertical size and it's the same thing as before we'll try to slightly over scan that picture and we'll have we use the grid to do that and what I'm going to do is since you won't be able to see these settings I'll try to tell you what setting I'm on when I have the grid pulled up and then we'll run through and we'll shuffle some settings and show you how it works because not only are you going to try to calibrate this thing but you're going to want to put a little bit of time into just testing all the different settings that you use to make sure that your capacitors are working inside the monitor and that way they're actually making an effect on your screen and working properly and you'll be able to notice it because you can't hurt the screen by just using it and scrolling through the settings and making expanded and even if it's not correct you'll you're going to want to test that so you can get it back to a good screen so again I'm sorry to just sit here and have a boring boring boring screen for you but right now it's just some things we got to run through so down again and menu and then the next thing is the geometry and again we've got vertical linearity we got to we got a s linearity and a c linearity so this monitor again has two linearity settings we can change our trapezoid our pin cushion settings which is these four pin cushions pin cushion settings and then this pair of control this is all our corners and our screen size wonkiness this is all the settings we're going to use every single one of these to sharpen up the linearity as well as the corner geometry as best as we can thankfully this kind of a monitor really does not need to be opened up to be serviced if you're just trying to get a geometry fix or setting put in place and then the rest of the settings at this point should be not part of this example for today so ahead and do some horizontal stuff which is pretty self-explanatory again you're not going to hurt anything by doing this so you know if I just press that setting expand it out and then I'm going to just go down just to make sure that it's working properly and you kind of see your corners better now while I'm working on the calibration today I'm going to actually under scan it slightly so I can see those lines on the side so this is actually where I'm going to set it for today and then I hit enter and it writes that setting if I don't want it to enter and hit the setting hit menu and go back and it'll take you back to that same setting and it'll leave it on whatever it was before you made that adjustment so you can't lose your adjustment just hit menu and go back and start over if you're concerned about that thing always remember you know if you want to what number you're starting with so let's go ahead down and go down to horizontal center and we'll see about moving that up and down a little bit see if you can see that see you can just hold those buttons down and let the guy slide across the screen nicely you can see you got no problem so again I've got some space on both sides which is optimal for this test when I hit enter and go back to the screen writing that and that's all I need for the horizontal you know there's all those kinds of things we're not going to touch those rest of the settings for this test let's go to the rest of vertical vertical size now we're in the vertical deflection so you can see the size go up and then it comes down and so again I'm gonna try to get that lined up to where I can see the red and a slight bit of black on there hit enter to right I'm gonna go down to the center setting and then I'm gonna go up out of the way and then I'm gonna come back down and get it right where I want it so I can see everything and make my adjustments and that we're done with this and again when I'm done with this the last thing I'll do is I'll expand that out so the geometry settings are going to be pretty much the same way you can start with whatever you want it depends how you skip your screen looks to go to the linearity test though I recommend coming down and pulling up these kind of circles because the area is going to show you really get the best option so I'm on 15 right now in this first one and let's just hold that button up and see if you can see how those circles kind of move a little bit there we go see how they spanned out and the goal of this is to actually get circles here not just so I'm gonna leave it on 15 but we're gonna go and try the other one we're looking to make these as round as possible we're not trying to have any oval shapes so you can kind of see if I go up and down there it makes them oval so those tough ones are really nice and round so we'll have to try to use the other settings so you go back and forth on these two and try to get your stuff rounder see I feel like that's a little bit better I feel like if I go up on that it makes those circles a little wonky so that helps some okay those are your two linearity settings you need to do those together to make your circles come back so the next thing is the trapezoid setting on here it's the third one down let's go ahead and get into it hopefully we can get something going with it real quickly let's go back always do the grids for these that's the bigger grid but the smaller grid I want you to be able to see this again this is the trapezoid setting so I'm gonna just scroll up on this and you can see what it's doing it's making the tops and bottoms go back and forth proportionally so you're gonna want to try to just line that up as best you can I was on 27 originally but I didn't really like that setting so let's try 22 and that's it for the trapezoids that that does that access lane that you can do like that you're just trying to get this thing it could take hours of doing this just just trying each combination of moving around things so you get it exactly the way you want it there's no magic formula and generally speaking any kind of menu settings that were factory set will not be much of a help at this point because we're looking at a monitor that needs and somebody asked me about that if they thought the factory settings would help and it's a good starting place but you're generally gonna have to move and change your settings there so again that's side pin and I didn't like that let's go back up on that a little bit so you could see how you you just hit that it goes out and again this these this monitor has really good controls over the deflection okay and I've already can tell here that something's not looking that great but you see how this next one right under it actually controls the next spot so sometimes what you got to do is try to get everything even if it's curved a little bit kind of on a same curve because then you can change the overall whole whole pin cushion setting and change the whole screen so it's really gonna be hard to do this and not run out of time on my video but so I'm not gonna sit here and try to make it perfect on this video I will do this without the video on and get it cleaned up but I just want to make sure everybody kind of understands how this works so they can try this at home because even though mine might look this way I it could take me hours or you know not it probably won't take me out more than an hour total at best or worst to fix this to the way I really like it but you can kind of see just you know hey that makes the thing the screen that shifts your top so if you have a top that's shifted over and that helps straighten that out so that's one way to do that that's the side pin BAL okay para control this is the second to last setting on the monitor and let's see that that's the screen lane so you could see the diagonal screen lane on there now this is not this can't if you have a yoke problem this won't help you this is just if your lines don't look straight on your screen now I can tell that this thing I've kind of gotten it maybe a little worse than it actually was when I started as far as the side controls so please don't you know I'll come back later and show you this when it's fixed up but for now I want you to understand how these settings work and again like I just hit menu there and go back and it'll take you back to the old control or what adult settings so the very last thing is the side pin another side pin and I'll just scroll in that on that and you can see again this thing gives you an incredible amount of control over the side pins where in other monitors you might have just been able to control just the corners but on this later end monitor they actually made it where you had one two three four many of four different settings to control something that was only controlled by one setting and prior monitors so that's why this thing is a lot better than the older monitors and the 20L2 any of the L series will have the same menu set up so the techniques will work for that monitor as well and even though it doesn't have the same line count and even though it doesn't take the same multi-format signals all the way up to 1080 like this one does and only goes with the 480i those lower end L series monitors they are still really good because they have the same amount of geometry control okay to finish this video out I just want everybody to know that please leave any comments or questions you may have about calibrations I know this video is kind of just straight into it and mostly calibration talk but I kind of felt like maybe that would be helpful we'll do more stuff with this monitor more service work and things in the future but I want to say thanks again for supporting the channel please hit the like button and share the video if it was helpful and as always thanks for watching Retro Tech


Faith became important to me when I was in high school when I was a sophomore in high school I was 15 years old. I did not know who I was. I didn't know what I was supposed to do with my life I don't know what 15-year-old does but you know I for sure did it and I was a mess I For sure thought I was gonna be the White House press secretary. I went to school for communication I was only in that Field for a semester and I was like this is miserable I would never want to do this like I just was completely discontent and then when I finally like Like took hold of that calling and was like you're gonna serve teenagers and serve the community for the rest of your life I just felt this immense peace and when I graduated a position became available And so they hired me and I've been here ever since I think it's important to live your life Um Serving anyone you come in contact with or being a bright light to any person you see whether it's the Cashier at the grocery store or the mailman or a teacher or your neighbor you see somebody at the beach You just making sure you acknowledge them and even just saying hello Good morning or anything like that is just something that I feel like I've taken from her in the way that she lives her own life our ministry partners with an organization called the Center for Student Missions and they have Ministry sites in every major u.s. City and we take our high schoolers on One trip and our middle schoolers on a different trip. We separate them and they can serve In Homa shelters and soup kitchens and after-school programs and neighborhood cleanups So we've been to Philadelphia Washington, D.C. Boston Nashville, and then this year we're going to Chicago We would see Megan at parent meetings and we would see her at church and see her around She was there and she was there for the families as well as the community It didn't matter if you were from here or from there. She was willing to talk with you Going to listen to you support you she was that she's been involved with my kids now for probably about four years She actually helped Molly my daughter pick which university she was going to go to after we had spent a weekend She called Megan. They had lunch. They did a whole pros and cons list helped her make a decision I don't feel like I've worked. I just feel like I'd like live my life and Every day is different and every day is an adventure and every day Most days are super fun


Great well digital asset news. My name is Rob and we got a lot of stuff to go over so quickly we're gonna do a little quick market cap because I just don't want to do you know delve too much into that I think we all know what what the market is doing and then of course the reason why you're here Which is because of the thumbnail on the title. I'm gonna talk to you about lessons from 98 I'm gonna talk to you why this time it's different hint It's not different and then lastly we're gonna talk about crypto unlock schedules and dumping and the things You should be aware of right now. I'm gonna give you Concrete ways to track all this stuff. So you're not in the dark You don't have to rely on people like me and lastly we'll do a little Q&A for the live shim only so let's jump into it And get going so first of all the first thing I want to remind everybody is this is that yeah This market is not the greatest. It's the kind of junkie because let's be honest it is we are in a bear market a full-blown bear market and This could take Months or this could take even longer than that. I would hate to say years, but there will be bounces there will be opportunities But let's just be honest. This is the time we got to get to work and this was a post I found pretty enlightening also kind of funny which is This is from grumpy old men want to know the secret of turning 40 bucks into 400 bucks Put the 40 bucks in your gas tank then get to work or then drive to work And when I post this of course some people would say well Where's that gonna get you guys the price of gas is so high which is true But it is a metaphor for everything that we have to do Find the money that you have put that into a vehicle and make it work for you And then do whatever you have to do to cook to make that into more of whatever it is that you were looking for so For me, it's all about getting into assets Whether that be crypto or equities, which is not that much or real estate That is what I like to do with with cash and some people say well silver and gold too But yeah sure it is what it is so anyhow That's just a little reminder and that is also the point of this is that now is the time to get back to work And then the in the bear markets, that's when everybody makes all their money So speaking of making money, you're not gonna make it Doing these types of swing trades or maybe you will hang on what kind of trader you are I'm not a trader. I'm just a simple investor and we can see that today That's a bit coins up a little bit of theorems up a little bit everybody's up just a little bit, but I will point your attention to this The crypto market cap is still 1.6 trillion Bitcoin is still below 29,000. So even though we're up a little bit It's not like a reason to like super celebrate I mean we're down pretty substantially and I think we're gonna go down even farther now how far down that's anybody's guess And I'm not here to draw on charts and show you some magical mystical things because that's not my thing I know I have a firm belief in what we're going in the future two three five ten years But as far as the short term anybody's guess, so that's the quick market recap Let's jump into really what I would consider the good stuff, which is Lessons from 98 and the reason why I want to bring this to your attention is because It's it's tough to be an investor especially in this market So what we try to take a look back is is take a look a little bit of history to see where we're going Well, we can't know where we're going until we know where we've been and this is a it's an it's an easy graph Overlay and you can see on the very top here This is internet versus crypto adoption as far as like total users Some might call this wallets if you want to look at that but in the good old days the internet coming to fruition 1990 remember those days some of you don't some you were probably born back there Weren't even born back then but you can see that the the total amount of users was very very low 90 91 92 93 94 95 6 7 and then of course in 98 We had a little bit of a push. I remember 95 it kind of came about the 96 Then it just started to to accelerate and then that's the whole point of the s-curve. So around 2002 2003 probably if we take it out a little bit more You had about as far as total users in millions about a billion users Which is pretty good considering that in not more than 10 years ago There wasn't many at all and of course underneath here 2014-2024. That's the overlay graph and we can see that in 22 We're kind in that same mark and the Kathy Wood for market investment. She believes that That we'll see a billion users in a couple years as far as our crypto wallets As far as like as time goes on in the next couple of years Let's hope she's right because if she does that means we're gonna have a pretty high market cap Which leads me to my next point. So if we take a look at this is where we're at if we look at 1998 To 2022 just on the the upper echelon there to the lower parts It got me thinking what were the big tech stocks and what were people talking about all the way back then in? 1998 well lucky for us the internet Has a nice little Historical record of any of everything that was going on. This is CNN money and the first thing you're gonna notice about this website Is that it looks? Kind of goofy because back in those days. This is what websites look like this was it It was just eyes especially in mobile phones because mobile phones were a really big thing And we used to call them some were like just phones and some were like smartphones It doesn't matter, but this is what it looked like. So let me blow it up so you can see it How far have we come? So this is what? CNN money on December 31st 1998 said and states this The internet sector may be a new game in 99, but that doesn't mean it'll be any easier to follow if a company at a dot comments name Even grandmothers found themselves wondering what there was a good investment. I can tell you right now That's the same thing that happened with NFTs Or that's the same thing would happen with just crypto in general in 2017 and of course NFTs in 2021 We're like is this a good buy because that's what it seems like was the same thing in in the internet days And this was what struck me Listen this during the year the e-commerce giant and decidedly unprofitable bookseller Amazon.com saw shares rise more than 1300 percent. So Think about this way Jeff Bezos started out as a bookseller in amazon.com and the only reason that it grew was because he says we have to branch out and do other Things we can't just live on books. It doesn't make any sense So let's go over here and buy zappos and zappos with was a nice little shoe company for a billion or so Let's let's expand and and and move into different merchandise and then actually start to gobble up a lot of different land and And real estate and then also to put our warehouses on and that's how they built everything up But it was funny to me and decidedly unprofitable bookseller and it shares go go up So it's the same thing here even though we don't see like high prices right now It doesn't mean that we're not in a building stage just like Amazon was back in 98 And yeah, I previously let a little known online auctioneer called ebay became the poster child friend at frenzy It's shared eclipsing $300 a share mark This is the same eboy ebay that a september IPO of 18 bucks So again same thing with crypto 18 to $300 now ebay had its had its slides But it kind of it's come back a little bit and it's actually doing quite decently as it starts to move into the Amazon Like a fulfillment by ebay type of thing anyhow It was also the year the outrageously outrageously successful IPO the globe calm which sort 606 percent now Here's where it gets a little choppy the globe calm doesn't exist anymore and Of course like we just said ebay had its hits rough patches and really dropped off But Amazon still remains so just like in our crypto market There's gonna be some that just aren't gonna make it and it makes sense because in the calm era a lot of them Didn't make it either Earth web which described itself as a provider of internet-based online services To the technology community worldwide that doesn't exist anymore books a million that doesn't exist anymore And then to sum it all up it comes down to it comes out of this the crypto and digital assets base will grow as Long as the companies and the projects start to acquire other projects in my personal opinion And they start to branch out and actually become something that people actually use here's what it comes down to It will be difficult for excite and lycos. I don't know if anybody remembers excite and lycos There's those were search engines and they don't exist anymore to catch up even with the major alliance I think Disney and Infoseek will have a difficult time getting traffic to challenge yahoo. Let me read that one more time I think Disney and infoseek will have a difficult time getting traffic to challenge yahoo first of all The only people use yahoo are people like me anymore for a search engine I just do it for news But it's funny to say that Disney couldn't really you know get any traffic and really as far as like a search engine It didn't but of course it became a powerhouse and it's actually become a powerhouse now in streaming services So if we just take a look back, it's the same type of thing happening over and over again You'll see some type of internet Which could have been the big the next big thing and it just falls the wayside because it couldn't grow It couldn't scale and it really just couldn't find its own niche and a lot of those just went away the same thing With crypto and digital assets, but there is one thing to pay attention to the ones that are stubborn and Stick around for the long haul those the ones you need to pay attention to and that kind of brings it home with this little graphic right here one thing you'll notice one thing I noticed is as much as Amazon.com was considered Unprofitable back in 98 it just kind of hung on there, right? And then you can see it here in yellow then it then it comes up in 2003 2008 may take a little bit of tumble, but it still remains in the top echelon just because of its Tenacity and just sticking around and of course the community of people who love FBA and Amazon There is what make it make it great 98 in 1998 AOL Yahoo Geo cities Netscape Excite Lycos That stuff doesn't exist anymore But again look at Amazon look at Google and you kind of see that the ones that just kind of stick around Are the ones that eventually make it of course Google has been a powerhouse for the longest time So if you I can't tell you what to invest into I'm not a financial advisor But just take a look at the at the cryptos that have stood the test of time as time has gone on now There's probably some huge gains like we just talked about Over in that article with books a million over the heck it was called But those are flashing the pans and as time goes on you might be a little bit happier Just sticking with some of those safety ones So let me know what you think about that in the comment section and this will lead me to the next point Which is this This time it's different Rob, don't you know That this time is gonna it's gonna be totally different and this crypto products gonna take us to the moon And it's gonna be awesome. And I gotta tell you in 2021. I heard that a lot. I also heard that Ethereum was a boomer coin and it's slow doesn't do anything and it's going to be flipped by XYZ token and You never know because sure maybe you could But as I get older and I've been in this in this space for a longer time But longer than I'm in here the more I realize this when people say this time is different It's never different and this kind of to prove my not to prove my point, but to kind of bring it home There's this book. I recommend everybody to read and I was talking about this on DCI yesterday or two days ago It's called this time is different eight centuries financial folly and this is by Carmen Reinhart's Economist and what they did is they took a look at over 66 countries over hundreds of years of economic upswings and collapses and they just kind of bring it in that the the psyche of investors and Retail and institutions it always kind of stays the same and it's always like these cycles and when everybody says this time It's different. It's like every single time It's wrong. It's it's always the same thing and it's always these cycles And it's always the same time of peaks and valleys and just the the longevity of the market So I recommend you take a look at that if you don't believe me, that's okay You don't have to just take a look at the research that was done here So when I hear this time is different. I don't I don't really see it. I don't believe it actually is true So that leads me to this I was I was a big fan of the four-year cycles and of course in 2021 I thought well, maybe there's some extended cycles like Ben talks about and then I was like Well, maybe it's just gonna be instead of four years Maybe it'll be five or maybe six, but it just didn't kind of work out like that and tell me where I'm wrong here So if we just take a look at this cycles, it always starts with the halving 2012 Bitcoin halving so it drops the amount that that the Bitcoin minus produce in half every ten minutes and it leads to an all-time high Then there's a choppy dip where you know There's like big downfalls and we'll go up and then even bigger downfalls and then what's called a reset some might call that accumulation Same thing happened 2016. There was a halving we hit the all-time high in 2017 Then there was a dip of choppiness then what some might consider a reset or an accumulation phase And then we see it again in 2020 we had a halving and in 2021. I thought that may could not have been The all-time high of 67,000, but then we hit Some what of an all not an all-time high, but a near high in November 2021 I thought well December will will be better and then January and February and March and we'll really see some blow off tops We didn't and now here we are almost in June and we're seeing the same thing again in 2022 There's a dip and it's very choppy And I think there's there's more room to the downside and then we see an accumulation phase in 2023 and then just like we talked about As far as this graphic here 98 to 2022 if you just take it out one two Three maybe even four years. You're gonna see a billion users. You're gonna see a pretty big market cap If you take the same thing over here To 22 to two years you got 23 then the halving in 24 and Then the third year here. We are in more all-time highs in 2025 now I'm not saying that this is going to happen This is just a possibility, but I got to tell you I got to tell you the longer I'm in here and the more I hear that at that analogy this time is different It just seems like it's just everything repeats itself over and over I feel like I'm in Groundhog's day. Anyhow, let me know what you think about that in the comment section Let's get to our last piece which might take a little bit longer because I'm gonna need some some feedback crypto unlock schedules and dumping so this was brought to my attention from CJ Reichel. He's an advisor to Marco Rebellion Marco Rebellion, John and Peter Jerry's company for options trading and things like that and he was just We were chatting one day and he goes Hey, there's some pretty big unlocks coming up and some and potential dumps and When we talked about and I haven't a show and we did this show Gosh, was it four days ago or so? So I linked that in the description and you can follow CJ Reichel on Twitter I linked that in the description as well. And what do we talked about in the video was data from Masari and The data Will show a lot of different things I mean it'll show how much you know private sale and public sale and VC funding and and The community and of course we've seen this type of data a lot, right and of course if we're looking at the equality of course public sales The more blue you have on this in this graphic. I think the better But some people will say now we need VCs and I probably need some some big money to be injected into it But you can see this polka dot Cardano, Solana, and of course you got community and insiders So the more insiders you have I think the more dangerous it is I mean, it's it's like fishing with dynamite. So it's pretty effective, but it's dangerous and I think when you have a lot of insiders in there The chance of it if it if everything goes along pretty well on the bull market so much the better, right? The bull market great everybody's making money fine, but as the bear market comes in and you got a lot of people like You know what? I Made a lot of money already. So maybe it's time for me to take it out all depending on a lock-up schedules So these are just something to to look at but these are just graphs So like how do you do your own research to make sure that this isn't like did Rob create this that he just put it in? So maybe you can just go to this website called Masari.io. I linked in the description And I'm gonna show you exactly how to find this data That will equal out to this stuff.  I'm just gonna start with Bitcoin and then we'll go down down the list for things you want to see But if you say if you click on Bitcoin It'll take you to a lot Granted it's a ton of stuff. I get you but if you see overview profile markets Just click on profile and then go to see right here versus contributors investors and token economics If you take a look at token economics and just it tells you like like a history This is just you know, this is Bitcoin if you go to the launch and initial token distribution Of course for this one There was no like private sale and stuff like that because it's it was the very first so she's not come on And tells you exactly what it is But what's interesting me is these things these graphs what's called the supply schedule and for Bitcoin You can see it's pretty damn linear pretty darn linear, right? I mean, of course, this is all by proof of work So it all depends on you know the halving and of course we can see it and see it right here how it gets cut halving 2012 and 16 and of course now We're really leveling off because we're in a point right now where You know, there's already You've already mine 19 million and we got about a million and a half or so to go So it's it's pretty stable along this continuum right gotcha So that's the supply curve and and of course there was no private sales. So let's go back real quick Let me just click on the sorry there. Let's look at Ethereum So I click on a theorem and the same thing I'm going to click on profile I'm going to click on token economics The launch and initial token distribution And I'll tell you right here the original token distribution event managed by ethereum sold roughly 60 million ethers, which was 80 percent 80 percent of initial 72 million ethers supply now The supply is is infinite. There is no cap on ethereum, but it goes very slow sales took place between 2014 July and september 2014 The ether purchased by crowd sale investors were not usable or transferable before the launch of the block on 2015 So this was like the the very beginning very beginning. So if you had a lot of money, I don't think there was any kind of like provisions where you couldn't buy a ton of it And a lot of people did but at least it was a little bit fairer It wasn't like to some kind of private sale So 3700 bitcoin were raised in the first 12 hours because that's what they took and that's why Bitcoin maxis will talk about how this was a Ponzi scheme because they're like the only reason the theorem is around Is so they can get your bitcoin which I get it because they raise a ton of bitcoin And then off it went and if you want to take a look at the whole history take a look at the infinite machine So it was a Behind the scenes look at how ethereum was created anyhow so Three million were allocated to a long-term endowment six million were among 85 developers and so on and so forth So founders and projects 60 percent 83 percent went to that crowd sale. Here's the supply schedule And you kind of see it. I mean this one looks fine too, right? 2015 is one that when it got released and you saw a lot of people come in And you can just see that 22. Let's see rewards the crowd sell participants 64 percent and it looks okay And where are we at now around here? So we don't see a huge increase in unlocks as this that's not how it is that's how ethereum is So it's very linear Pretty darn safe in my personal opinion now. Let's take a look at something else Yeah, let's take i'm going to skip forward to algorand So algorand I'm going to click on profile And i'm going to click on token economics And it's going to tell you exactly what it is the launch and initial token distribution It was launched in june 2019 public auction sold 25 million algos or a quarter of the initial supply at 240 per token That's pretty bad raising a total of 60 million 402 thousand dollars and then the end of the sale Which created 10 billion algos a genesis a total of 2.5 billion Or 25 percent initial supply were granted to the founders And the algorand foundation to support continued protocol development. Okay, got you But take a look at this 10 percent. Let's let's take a look at the supply breakdown Founders and project is a quarter Investors at 30 percent. So you're looking at 55 percent Is in the hands of the few and then you got 45 percent. So me personally, I like algorand Macaulay, I believe this is the gentleman's name Touring award winner very smart guy And it looks like a pretty great project It's just like I've always said the tokenomics look a little bit off to me And then you can take a look at this. Here's the liquid supply curve. This is not looking great So when we saw with bitcoin, it was pretty much a nice even even out if they're in the same thing Now, let's take a look at the supply curve here. So in 2021 you saw there was a big unlock supply Bam, here we are in mark 2021 and we saw it kind of gets going now generally 12th Kind of a little bit of a linear or so. So but you can see it's going up pretty high 2023 so on and so forth Then of course there's another big unlock in 2024 and then the thing is once these get in unlocked It's an opportunity to really start selling now. Will that happen with algorand? I'm not saying it will I'm not saying you won't I'm just giving you the information that you have So you can make the best decision for yourself. Let's take a look Let's go back And take a look at cardano. This ought to be good So cardano Again profile token economics Let's see here. Let's see here. So the public sale. It was all public sales Which is pretty much the data that we see over here Cardano a lot of blue a lot of public sales 17% were insiders company vc purchase tokens Okay, 2% was the community allocation. All right So let's see here initial supply founders and project investors a 3% Let's break it down. Here's the liquid supply curve. It almost doesn't get any flatter than that Let's just be honest and there's a lot that's actually Locked up right now. So as far as like supply curves and and unlocks first of all, you can unlock. There is no lock up periods It's already already out there essentially and of course force if you want to stake it There's no like lockups like avalanche. You just take it out and you want to sell you sell it But very even kilter not too bad. Now. Let's take a look at avalanche where we go avalanche profile token economics Here we go 360 million avax were minted and sold through public and private sales All right, the remaining 360 are for staking rewards distributed following decades. That's not bad half and half So staking rewards 50 percent tokens are minted at launch And then of course remaining 360 will be utilized as staking the seed sale 2.5 percent Private sale 3.5 percent public sale option one to one percent that seems kind of low And then of course, oh that was an a1 1 percent then 8.3 then public sale 0.67 Foundation it doesn't matter. Let me just go over here So again founders and projects that's a lot 20 percent investors 16 percent but 64 percent here's The issue The steepness Of this supply curve and you can see it. I don't have to I mean the things that we just took a look at The steeper that the the supply curve is the more chance you have it for to unlock Have potentially be dumped And that is just something that is what it is So this is last year. You can see the steps Where are we? We're right around so march 7 2020 Between february and march was a big unlock And then we have another one coming up around june 20th So if you think there might be a dump coming that's Pretty good bet and you're gonna see it just going up and up and up of course. It's over years I understand but it doesn't take a lot in a 1.26 trillion market to change some favors All right, and then lastly let's look at why I get back here. There we go. Let's look at salana So salana Overview in history investors token economics Let's see No, no, no launch just token Okay, it breaks down like this 15 point almost 16 percent of the seed round investors those the people that get in early right 2.6 to founding to founding sales investors. So you're looking at almost 20 percent 5 percent to valid to validators, which I got to tell you it's super hard to be That's not super hard to be validators. You got to have a ton of salana to be a validator Almost 2 percent to strategic sale investments 1.6 to public auction 12 and a half the team members 12 and a half the salana foundation 30 percent of the community. All right. That's not bad So here again, what we got founders and projects and investors Premind rewards and airdrops. So I like that part but 25 and 37. I'm not too sure. Here's a supply schedule So I know people are worried about it. But in all honesty, the big supply unlock already happened So we had December 14th December 28 2020 and then january 11 2021 That was the big unlock and you probably saw a bit of a dip, but that's what it is But if you can take a look here It's actually pretty stable and you can just take a look As far as things move along staking rewards founders Where are we? Let me go to Here So you go from staking rewards 9.6 on may 30th to the next Swing up 9.8. So not by much in all honesty So even if we're worried about like well this big unlock schedule honestly Looks pretty linear of course until we go to like 2027, but whatever. That's what it is So anyhow, if there's anything else you guys would like to see as far as these unlock schedules Drop that in the comments right now and I'll take a look If not and you can do all the the data collection you want to I gave you the information Masari.io I told you exactly how to go it profile tokenomics look it all up Be aware of these unlock schedules because potentially that could be one of those times They might see a dump like why did that happen? Oh, yeah, that's what it is. Of course, that's the whole thing We're in a macro environment. We're not in our own little bubble You also got to be aware of the supply chain issue You also have to be aware of inflation You also have to be aware of when j power comes out and says we're going to go to a full Three-quarter point to the half a point and that's really what it comes down to do on research It's a lot of research So that's it. So look like today's video thumbs up and uh, subscribe all that great stuff If you got to take off it is moral day weekend So maybe you got a stuff to do I already did my big stuff yesterday And I'm gonna do something tomorrow So I'm just taking it easy so I can stick around for some questions as long as you want to and we'll go from there So that's it and we'll go a little q&a. Alrighty Let's see here. Oh, yeah
