From O5Command, Subject 5-999-Clearance Hello, Dr. Colletwood, and congratulations on your new appointment as SCP-999's head researcher, one of the cushiest and most immebable assignments in the entire Foundation. SCP-999 is one of the few anomalies in our custody who will not only never attempt to harm you, but will actively try to save your life if you're ever in any danger. After your initial reaction when receiving this assignment was no doubt elation, you may have thought it was odd that such a seemingly low-risk position was assigned by the O5 Council directly. If you had already heard rumors of this prior to your assignment, you probably thought it was mere nepotism. The O5 had protected their friends and loved ones by giving them the safest job possible. Unless you are so narcissistic to think that someone in the O5 Council must be your secret admirer, you've likely realized this is not the case. To understand why this is our concern, you need to know about 999's origins. You may have noticed that his files make no mention of where he was discovered. This is the deliberate omission. If you are not familiar with the mythology of the Scarlet King, I suggest you read up on him. There's plenty of unclassified information on him in the Foundation database. All that's relevant for now is that he is, to the best of our knowledge, the most powerful malevolent entity in the multiverse. A good number of our SCPs are either abominations born by the rape of his own daughters, or are the creations of mortals he empowered, either directly or indirectly, and with us since you were a research assistant, Dr. Collinwood. In that time, I assume you've heard many rumors about some of the horrific things we do here at the Foundation that you've never personally witnessed. Perhaps rumors about an innocent young girl who was the victim of a satanic ritual and what we were forced to do to her to prevent an XK class into the world scenario? Maybe you've even heard someone whisper the words, 110 Montauk? I regret to inform you that these rumors are true, or at least they were. A thaumaturgical cult calling itself the Children of the Scarlet King enacted a ritual wherein seven young girls became effigies for each of the Scarlet King's seven brides, allowing them to bear his horrid offspring. While they obtained the knowledge to perform this ritual is unclear since all we ever recovered were handwritten notebooks. Superficial resemblances to some Sarkin practices, thaumaturgy, human sacrifice, body mutilation, and forming a pact with a cosmic entity has led some to speculate that the Children of the Scarlet King may have some ties to modern Sarkin cults. It's an interesting idea, but no concrete evidence has ever been found to link the two. Investigations of the matters ongoing. As for the ritual itself, each bird caused more destruction than the last. The writings of the cult priest predicted nothing less than the apocalypse if the seventh bride gave birth, which could only be prevented if procedure 110 Montauk was performed without fail each and every day. To our seemingly great fortune, the notebook contained detailed instructions on how 110 Montauk was to be carried out. As it was to say, we found this especially convenient. Why would they devise a countermeasure to prevent the very apocalypse they were trying to invoke? We needed more information regarding these entities. Fortunately, our archaeologists have on our numerous tablets, scrolls, and artifacts of the ancient Davos. They were a sadistic and warmongering people who were granted unholy power and knowledge by the Scarlet King as a reward for the death and suffering they caused. One of the day-by-tables in our possession found covered in dust and blood was a theogony for the Scarlet King and his brides. It was quite informative. The information that we found most relevant to our situation was that the seventh bride was not like her sisters. She was never completely broken by our king's subjugation. Instead of monsters, she gave birth to great heroes in the hopes that they would destroy her sister's children and overthrow their father. As far as all had failed, but by a vote of seven in favor, six against, admittedly most out of concern for Procedure 110 Montauk's lack of viability of the long-term containment strategy, then out of empathy for the girl. The O5 council decided to believe that the seventh bride still remained unbroken and that her child would be an asset to us. At the risk of causing an XK class into the world scenario, SCP-231-7 was relieved from Procedure 110 Montauk following the deaths of SCP-231-1 through Dash 6 and was allowed to get birth. SCP-999 was the result. Go ahead and read that again. Be sure you understand it and all it's for posture is ridiculous. The tickle monster is the child of the Scarlet King.  Let them think that. Far better for everyone that the children of the Scarlet King believe that they're playing us for fools, than for them to know that there is a threat to their king. The girl herself is fine, by the way. She was cured of the trauma from her ordeal by SCP-999, at which point it was decided she could be returned to her family, so long as they were all given Class F amnestics implanted with new identities and relocated to a town at least 1,000 kilometers away from the children of the Scarlet King nearest known activity. On the insistence of the Ethics Committee, the family was also given a seven-figure payout as compensation for repeated misdeeds against their daughter, as were the families of the other SCP-231s. I suppose it was technically malpractice on our part, in case we have any moles for the children of the Scarlet King and the Foundation. As far as anyone else knows, 231-7's family were killed in front of her as part of 110 Montauk. I'm sure you're skeptical. Are we insane? How could our sweet little tickled monster ever hope to dethrone a Lovecraftian horror of unparalleled might? Well, SCP-999 is less than a decade old. It's still just a child, and nowhere near its full strength. Even so, its power is incredible. Even brief interaction with SCP-999 can permanently cure severe depression and PTSD, and more recent experiments have resulted in the complete reformation of D-Class personnel who were previously unrepentant sociopaths. This effect is not chemical, but psychic, and one day it may grow powerful enough that not even a Scarlet King himself will be immune. The experiment with SCP-682 was most remarkable. Based on multiple day-by-text, including descriptions from SCP-140 itself, we are reasonably certain that 682 is the offspring of the 4th Scarlet Bride. If this is true, then SCP-999 is already strong enough to temporarily quell the benevolence of its own eldritch siblings. One day, 999 could very well be strong enough to permanently reform its family members just as it reforms human beings. It will not overthrow the Scarlet King by force, but with light and love and laughter that can brighten the blackest of hearts. 999 is not in reality a safe-class SCP. It is thomial. It is the best and really the only weapon we have against some of the most powerful hostile entities known to exist. By all means, doctor, enjoy the relative safety of your new position, but do keep in mind that SCP-999 is not a mere pet that we fancy. It is one of our most valuable assets and must be safeguarded at all costs. Its safety and well-being are paramount, and you are not at liberty to share this information to anyone without level 5 slash 999's security clearance. As per protocol, an authorized disclosure of level 5 classified information will result in your termination. This email will automatically delete as soon as you leave the terminal, so feel free to reread it as many times as necessary to remember all the pertinent information.  The fate of the multiverse may very well depend on it. Their secret admirer, if anyone asks, O5.


Basically, I think that anyone who's coming as part of this program has to be prepared to contribute to New Zealand, because New Zealand is extending you something pretty amazing. When the Maori show up and these people had their land taken from them, and when they welcome you to their home, that's pretty amazing. There must be a lot of pain behind that, so in appreciation of that, you've got to bring something to the game too. I think everyone can contribute some combination of time, talent and resources. Time into the local community, and physically in the place getting to know it, talent in terms of your unique attributes, insights, whatever you bring to the table, and resources. Some of us who are coming with big resources should contribute to the local charities, the investment circuit over here. It has to be done in a way that is scalable and sustainable, but EHF is small today, it's like 150 fellows, maybe going to a couple of hundred. But I think when people look back in time and say, wow, per new fellow who came in, the level of contribution, I would be surprised that there's a single immigrant program in the world that would match it.


Lectins make things clump together and they make red blood cells clump together. In fact, you've heard me describe in published results that the lectins, particularly in kidney beans, are so mischievous in making red blood cells clump that there are human experiences of eating healthy bean days in Boston where large numbers of children and teachers wound up in the emergency room sick with bloody diarrhea because the beans that they were eating were undercooked and the lectins had not been destroyed. Also, those of you who know the white powder ricin, which was made famous originally in the Japanese subway bombing of years ago, ricin is the lectin of the castor bean and only a few molecules of ricin will actually cause your entire bloodstream to clot, a glutinate. So this is not a theory that lectins are mischievous, this is actually proven and it's used in espionage to this day. Now I'm not the first person to find that lectins were really bad for you. In fact, it's been known about for a very long time and throughout all my books I try to give you the most up-to-date research on the effect of lectins as well as show you some of the older research that first identified lectins as a problem.  Now Dr. Di Amato, actually his blood type diet was a lectin avoidance diet and he decided, and I think there's good reasons why he did that, to rather than tell you to avoid lectins, which I tell you to do, certain ones, but to base your avoidance on your blood type. And he, I personally feel probably indiscriminately said, you owe people out there, and I'm a typo, were hunter-gatherers. And so you really ought to be eating meat.  Now the reason that book became so popular is, number one, it was a lectin avoidance diet, but number two, about 60% of people are type O. And so most people could eat animal protein and meats on that diet and removing lectins actually worked very well. So it was kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy and sold like wildfire. Now his critics, and Dr. Di Amato is not an MD, his critics said this is pseudoscience. There's absolutely no basis on what he's saying. But I've read every one of his books and the science that he uses is actually very true.   And interestingly enough, type A individuals actually have increased risk of viral and bacterial infections compared to type O's. And there is some interesting evidence.  And that's why you're more susceptible because viruses are more apt to bind to that sugar molecule. So rather than pseudoscience, there's actually really good science behind lectins. Now, I had started to ask people to eat certain foods and take away certain foods and do blood tests on them every three months. And very rapidly, I found in my clinic that when I asked people to take away certain healthy foods, like grains, for instance, or beans, for instance, that I could see their inflammation markers go down. And it was actually quite dramatic. Not only could I see that, but these people would come back and say, wow, you know, my hands don't hurt anymore. My knees don't creak. We'd see that their blood pressure plummeted. We'd see that their diabetes was either getting better or going away completely. And we'd see people reverse heart disease. Now, through the years, I've found many individuals, many of them women, that I call my canaries in a coal mine.  And when we took these foods away from people, they got dramatically better. In fact, if you saw my podcast with a husband and wife team who have a YouTube channel about lectins and the plant paradox, Dave was suffering from a severe Crohn's disease, so bad that he'd actually had operations for it, was hospitalized multiple times, was on immunosuppressant drugs, which were making him sick. And Jan had such severe rheumatoid arthritis, even in her late 30s and early 40s, with young kids that she was basically bedridden and an incredibly miserable life. And Dave was given the plant paradox by a friend. And Dave came home and said, you know, I know Crohn's isn't caused by diet, I've been told that by my doctor, and I know rheumatoid arthritis isn't caused by diet, but, you know, honey, we got nothing to lose here. And it was so, you know, exciting, particularly to hear from his wife that within four days of taking lectins out of her diet, following the plant paradox, that her hands stopped hurting, her hips stopped hurting, she got out of bed, and his Crohn's is now gone, he does not have Crohn's. They've completely changed their lives just by getting a few silly plant compounds out of their diet. So these people, when I did blood tests on them, we could measure their sensitivity to lectins. I published a paper about that in the circulation, the American Heart Association Journal, that we could predict who was going to react to lectins and who wasn't. There are some people who clearly, lectins are not that big a deal. And if you're one of them, good for you. Now subsequently, I've published papers in abstract form, in circulation, of 102 patients with auto immune disease, including moi, me personally, I have had a marker for anti-nuclear antibody, which some people associate with lupus, or other autoimmune diseases. And after I had that discovered, I believed it because my father's side of the family has massive psoriasis, and I wasn't surprised. So I was perfect on my diet for two months, and it went away. It became negative. And we published the results of 102 people who followed my program for six months. At the end of six months, 95 out of those 102 were negative for their autoimmune marker, or markers, off of immunosuppressants. The other 6% were actually on less immunosuppressants. Interestingly enough, in that published data, seven people, once they were in remission, went away from the diet, and all of them subsequently became positive for their autoimmune marker. And all seven of them became negative again when we reinstituted the diet.  I'm going to reintroduce over a weekend, aggressively, lectin. I ate bread, I ate pasta, I came back, I drew my blood, and lo and behold, I'm positive again for anti-nuclear antibody. And I go, well, that's pretty cool. I'm going to be perfect for just one week. All I'm going to do, one week, let's see what happens. One week later, same lab, same blood drawer, one of my blood drawers, negative for anti-nuclear antibody. Now, why are we more sensitive?  We kill off our bacteria by roundup, and roundup is in everything. It's in all of our conventional crops now. It's in our canola oil. It's in our oats. It's in our wheat. It's in our soybeans. It's everywhere. It's in California wines. And roundup kills our microbiome. It was patented by Monsanto as an antibiotic, and it in itself causes leaky gut. We can go on and on and on, but quite frankly, we're now without a defense system against lectins. Lectins are the plant defense system against being eaten, and we have a major defense system against lectins hurting us. Our mucus membranes, our lectin absorbers, our gut microbiome eats lectins, and we've had traditional food preparation techniques that have really helped to reduce lectins. In the old days, we fermented almost everything because quite frankly, there was no food storage system. That's how we actually detoxified lectins. In the good old days, we soaked beans in water and changed that water every four to six hours for at least 24 hours, and then we cooked them for a long time. And that absolutely helps reduce lectins. And it's amazing talking to people from India or Brazil or Peru. Their mothers and grandmothers used a pressure cooker. Whenever they cooked lentils or pulses or other beans, and they were shocked that we don't use pressure cookers in this country. So things have changed, and we have changed, and that's why we've quite frankly got an epidemic with lectins getting into us.


Hey everyone, it's Gabrielle and Kenny and we're over here at Oxmer Toyota today. So you guys we're going to talk a little bit about the 2021. This is the Toyota Highlander, but this one is the XSE. This is that sport edition that they just released and they just did a wonderful job. So Kenny, tell us about this. Yeah, so you're gonna see a lot of things that are different on this. Still built on the same TNGA platform, same engine, all the things that you're used to with the Highlander, even to the Platinum level, but some of the things that are different on this. The first thing that you're gonna notice is this mesh grille, a little bolder stance to it, as well as the panels down here. They go a little bit wider and your fog lights are spread out a little bit as well. You can really tell in the evening if you're driving these vehicles. Now this is the blueprint, which I love this color. It has like a almost like a glittery look to it. It does. Yeah, kind of reminds you of the black on the TRD Pro. A little bit. Ruby flare pearl. Ruby flare pearl. Yeah, so you're gonna notice from the side vents are a little bit different. Some of the things that give it a little more sporty look, but back to the lights. It's a little bit tighter look to it, more acute is the LED lights to it. So that's gonna be a little bit different for you. When we start working around to the side, you're gonna see the 20 inch wheels on it, as well as a lot of chrome accents that reminds me of some of the stuff that we saw on that Venza Limited we did last week. Right, exactly. Yeah, so you're gonna see some things that are different in here. I think you're gonna be really impressed with it. The XSE, it's all new for Highlander for the 2021. And before I forget, I think we do have like eight in stock now. I'm pretty sure, which is really great right now. I checked some other dealers inventory and I'm sure they're gonna be really jealous when they see this video because they do watch our videos we know. So we'll get right to showing you around the vehicle a little bit and hopefully you all enjoy this. So like Kenny had mentioned, there is the 20 inch machined face alloy wheels. Now the vehicle has that smart key system with the front doors, so you don't have to use your key. You can just have it in your pocket or in your purse, which is super convenient. I really like these chrome accents that you can see here on the door when you're coming in. It's on the handle as well. Yeah, that looks really good. It's also in the middle of that console. There's even some right here on the steering wheel. Sorry to interrupt you there. No, that's okay. Now speaking of the console, you do have that Wii compatible wireless smartphone charger. It's actually in the, there you go. If you lift that up, it's right there. Now there is, it says multiple driving modes in here too. Sorry, you can't see what I can see right now. It's got the sport, the normal, the economy, then it also has a snow capabilities as well as some terrain stuff too. Similar to some of the stuff they learned with Tacoma years ago. Yeah, you also have that seven inch LCD multi-information display up there too. And then on the shift knob, that is leather trimmed. And then speaking of leather, the seating is that soft text, which is really, really nice. It's soft leather. Just kind of comforts your body when you're driving. Yeah, and they've made it to where there's like a transition to it. So it's really a two-tone type situation there. Right, and that's for that sport model. Yeah, it's only on this one. Mm-hmm. Plenty of USB charging points as well. The back, I believe, has its ventilated captain's chairs in the back. And the XSC does have the third row capabilities as well. It's back there. They got laid down right now. You also have your vents back here that you can control for your passengers. They can do that to their liking. There's two USB chargers back here. I like this cup holder here. I'm just a fan of drinks. I know, right? What's really nice too is it has the sun shades. Oh, yeah. So you don't have to buy something separately. I actually have this in my highlander and I love it for my son. You just snap them in. Yeah. And then it's like super easy. And then when you want to take them down, I love that feature personally. It is a little nice touch, isn't it? Mm-hmm. It is. You want to see some trunk space? Yeah, let's do it. And then it also has that XSC all wheel drive and that chrome looks really nice. Speaking of chrome, look at this chrome along here with these dual exhaust. Very nice. Yeah. It's not your regular highlander here. So plenty of space back here. These seats obviously can fold flat. We don't have them folded on here, but you can also fold these other two captain's chairs and you really get a large area of storage if you want to turn this into more of a, maybe a trip to Lowe's or Home Depot, whatever the case may be this time of year. Mm-hmm. Maybe for pumpkins and hey. Yeah, that's actually, that's perfect. And then one thing I forgot to mention, this one actually has the JBL audio system. Oh, yeah. Which is really, really nice. You can see this big speaker right here. Yeah, right here, JBL. Yeah. So we hope you like this view of the Highlander XSC, blueprint, Rubyflare pearl. I believe we have black, silver, a few other colors to choose from. So never a better time to get out and shop for the newest models. Right. All right, guys. So any questions, all of our information is listed right here. Thanks everyone for watching. We'll see you all soon. Bye guys.


Well, here we are at Kalarney soccer field with this mini soccer program running behind me here. Programs like this require dozens and dozens of community volunteers, coaches, and other parents who help out with the organization. Up until now, BC has required criminal records checks for those people for many years now.  Now, with the new system, Kalarney soccer can sign up as a community organization. It will submit the names of its coaches. Those coaches will still need to go online to enter their personal information, but that information will be checked and then sent back to Kalarney soccer to the community organization. It's much simpler and it's free to the coaches and it's free to the organization. And this is going to be a huge benefit to volunteer organizations all around British Columbia. It means a lot of cost savings, a lot of saved money, a lot of saved time, and increased efficiency, which at the end of the day means that we can spend more time on developing coaches, athletes, referees, officials, and less time on administering a process that needs to be done to ensure that our children are safe, but doesn't need to be done by each individual club across BC. This announcement will really assist me as a as a coach and as the acting president, primarily well for two reasons. One will be simply for the money that we'd otherwise be spending on criminal record checks. We can now devote to the club, which will be new equipment, new soccer balls, better nets, things to help the kids actually play soccer. I'm hoping this will make a difference. That'll make it easier for our parent volunteers and for our board to ensure that people actually just have time to spend with the kids and it's not too complicated.


Fashioners have appealed to the Ocean State government to decentralize the ongoing screening and staff audits' exercise of its workforce, including retirees being carried out by the state government. The action became imperative as some of the aged retirees collapsed within the premises of the center for black culture and international understanding, the venue of the ongoing screening in Oshubu, the state capital. It took the intervention of the medics of the Oshubu Emergency Medical Services and ambulance system to revive and stabilize the victims. Retirees numbering about 2,000 old men and women who are visibly aged frail and in some cases sick, they are the venue for the screening exercise. Imagine a man of one hundred and fifteen years, one thirty years, they are mangos. Some of the disabled, of digitally they are mangos, they pick them five ways to this particular place. Admitted a usage, I was brought from my bed, at a usage, we had to beg the doctors before they could release me for my children. When we get there now, some people say they have got around 5am today, nobody to see them. Would you say somebody of 1890 to come here to savage this thing together? What are we savaging? What are we actually doing? I want the government to do this exercise, but they should know a very good means of doing it. We told them to bring this to local government basis. A lot of us like this cannot come here. We are more than 2,000 or 3,000 right now. How can a single baby company attend to us? Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.

Welcome to Access a Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability, and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process, and own your future. How do you technically get out of a position if it goes wrong? All right. Here's the thing. There's two ways of doing this, right? There's two ways of doing it, and both ways, and both ways are technical, okay? There's both ways of technical. So sometimes, especially on the day trading aspect, and it's kind of a good segue into what we just discussed, sometimes there'll be a pivot in the stock. Let's just say 113 is the pivot, right? 113 is the pivot, and we all know you have to use second entries, which basically means when I put a pivot in, the pivot is 113, 113 needs to build, which basically means the stock needs to take out that 113 level, and volume needs to build over that 113 level. That's what building means, right? The longer a stock stays above the pivot, that is called building. It's nothing more, nothing less. So let's just say the pivot is 113, right? And it takes out 113 and puts in a new high of 114.32, right? 114.32, and I'm actually going to cover both, you know, kind of a two-sided question here, because somebody also asked how big of a retrace do you need before it causes second entry? So we'll kind of cover both sides of that question simultaneously. So let's say the stock puts in a new high of 114.30, OK? What you need to do is let the stock retrace at least, if it's $113 stock, at least 30 to 50 cents, right? At least 30 to 50 cents. So for example, if you're trading the video, right, you need to retrace at least 30 to 50 cents. If you're trading Facebook, at least 30 to 50 cents. Again, I don't care if it goes down more, $1, $1.5 more, at least 30 to 50 cents, right? When you're trading Netflix, probably about $1 just because it is a lot wider, OK? A lot wider. Roku, the same thing. Tesla, you need at least the dollar, right? You need at least the dollar retrace. Amazon, you need at least $3 to $5 retrace because it's a $3,000 stock. So you get that retrace, and once it retraces and goes back to that new high of 114.30, that is the second entry, right? That is the second entry. So what do we know about second entries? The second entry, the stock needs to explode. Once the stock takes out that new high, the second entry, and you get in, that stock needs to absolutely explode and price appreciate within the next 30, 45 seconds, or you know it's stalled out again, right? You just know it's stalled out. So the prudent thing to do, and I've always advised newer traders this, especially newer traders who are fresh to pivots, what I do advise is that if the stock stalls out at the new second entry at 114.30, and you just don't see it going in the first 30 to 45 seconds, get out of the trade. Just get out of the trade, right? Just absolutely get out of the trade. That is basically telling you the stock is not ready yet, okay? It could go later, but the stock is not ready yet. So if it doesn't price improve on the second entry in the next 30 to 45 seconds, maybe a minute, depending on which one it is, you know what? You say, you know what? Maybe an adult about it, right? Something's wrong there. It's gassed out a little bit. Maybe it needs a little bit better rest, okay? And I could always enter it later, or I could enter it on a 60-minute dip, right guys? If you guys noticed, we're getting tons of value on rising 60-minute support. Like that's value, man. If the uptrend is still intact, it's going to bounce off that 60-minute support. You've seen time and time again how advantageous those entries are. So what you want to do is have two courses of action. If the stock doesn't go right away, these are both ways to kind of measure risk. If the stock doesn't go within the first 30 seconds to a minute after your second entry, use break even as you stop, or slippage up a little bit, down a little bit. It's the cost of doing business, right? All right, if you want to give it a little bit more rope and you just feel, hey, the stock is very strong, it has confirmed that the daily chart, the stock looks really good, I'm really loving the option flow that I'm seeing for the last hour or so. What you could also do is use the previous five-minute risk, right? Previous five-minute candle low. So if it takes out the previous candle low, then you say to yourself, well, that's my max pain. You know what? It's broken's trend. It's not just tired here at the macro, right? It's not just tired here at the macro, it's just tired, right? Maybe it goes later, maybe I'll have a better entry off the rising 60-minute support, or you know what? Tomorrow's a new day with that stock, but again, you're in control. Guys, that's the common denominator. You're in control. So you're either making a feasibility study at that point. You know what?   So you're saying to yourself, you know what? Dan says the stock is still a little tired. Again, it's not like it's a mystery, you know, I'm commenting on the stock. You guys hear me say, hey, something's wrong, the stock is stolen out, consider using breakeven. That's not mixed signals. That means the stock is stolen out, consider using breakeven. So you could either use breakeven or slippage on the entry. Or if you are a more experienced trader, you've been doing this for a very long time. You've been with me for 11 years. You can say to yourself, you know what? Let me use the five minute previous candle's low, give myself a little bit of a shorter leash. But you know what? I still kind of love the idea. Let me stay in it. Or if you're a really, really experienced trader, you can always use the previous 60 minute low. And that's going to really give you a dynamic view of the overall trend of the stock. So I think that the most important part of that first aspect is recognize that the stock is just tired, right? The stock is tired. Maybe it's put in a majority of its average range, right? Maybe the stock is just tired, remember. It's like a human being, right? Think about it. It's like you just ran a marathon 26 miles. You feel good about yourself, right? That's the stock. So I broke out. You feel good about yourself. You realize, well, wait a minute, it's not a marathon, right? It's a triathlon. Now I have to run for five miles, right? I assume you have to swim for five miles and I have to cycle for another 10 miles. You're going to be tired. You achieve what you want, right? You got to that level, but you're going to be tired. Stocks are exactly the same way. They do get tired, right? They do get tired. They need a rest and they either resume a little bit later that day or they resume at some point during the week, but at least you have options. And again, the controlled theme is you're still in control, and that's a very, very important level here.


What are you doing, dude? It's time for Chowsy to make the ultimate sacrifice! Get in here, buddy! How's it going, everybody? Datu Dui here, back with some more Dragon Ball Fighter's rank matches. Today, we're playing a weird team of Videl, Goku Black, and Tien. Now, there really was no thought process behind this team. It wasn't even recommended. I just comprised of a bunch of characters I kinda sorta wanted to play. And it helps that the two assists in the back are just genuinely all around greats. Ooh, not gonna help me when I just get stuck. Oh, the wreeze! How did he know I was gonna jump? Oh, just a couple of... I knew it would work. I knew it would work. No! Oh, I thought that would work as well. I was trying to jump back, hit him with that heavy. Alright, we switch here. And now I'm gonna spend the bar just for sliding to get some more control over this match. Ah, the vanish jumps up and gets it. I'm gonna reflect. Oh, it was too fast. Way too early to catch that guard. Alright, we reflect here, for sure. Catch this man-made air, and then we... Oh, wow, he actually got hit by the down heavy! Never in my life would I have expected that. Do we switch out into Videl here or nah? I'm gonna go with nah. Why switch out into Videl? Okay, the lights with black are so strong, dude. Box? For those of you that don't know, Sonic Fox is actually playing Goku Black again. I don't know what it... Oh, that was a nice DP! I don't know what it means for the character, but I have... After seeing NoKami's Goku Black, I think it was really refined and the character definitely has some room to grow. Well, I don't think he's better than Super Saiyan Goku. I definitely think, you know, he kind of got roughed up because that comparison's not really fair. Damn. I hate to see it. So, I'm looking forward to seeing more Goku Black. Hopefully that's the thing. Now, though, now it's all about the Videl and I randomly threw out a heavy. I didn't see the Vegeta's just coming, honestly. I'm a Super De... Countered? Three bars, it could have killed, but he doesn't take it. That was a lucky... That was very lucky on our part. Ah, the Super Dashes are fast and furious. Little did this guy know we have a TN in the back? Five bars, forget about it, dude. We're technically in the lead. Some people would list us as the favorite. Okay. Where's the Super Dash? Oh, Commando down, heavy comes out. Oh, we all saw it coming. It doesn't take some psychic powers to know that one was coming. Alright, we go down, but how? I'm gonna spark here. Did we kill him here? Why not, right? We have the bar. We have the bar we might as well pop it. One, two, three. Ah, let me just get you out of there. And because we're in sparking, not even... Dude, not even... We don't have to worry about the health loss. We do have to worry about here as a Super... Yep. Can we make this kill? Oh, we could have made a kill. We're at 6F. Oh, but you would have thought... No! The Super Dash comes back. Really? Oh, that connected. We're avoiding that and then punish. Didn't kill. Key blast to the face though does take it. I'll absolutely rock out with that any day. This is looking a little more winnable. I think we just do it. How do we get this man off of us? There's another Super Dash. Interesting? Just show me the Super Dash. Get out of here. If you're just going to jump in like that. No! Tag and rush. I reflected so much in this game that I actually... I kind of felt... Are you drops in? What are you doing, dude? It's time for Chaotzu to make the ultimate sacrifice. Get in here, buddy. With Chaotzu gone, it's going to be a matter of predicting this wake-up DP that's a little obvious. Get out of here with that. Okay, it wasn't a wake-up DP, but I'll take it. TN makes the comeback. Oh, you got to love the power of TN, baby. Just the raw damage of it all. Hopefully the frames are a little more controlled than the next game. It was... It never got really bad, but it does jump around a lot. Just settle down. You know, if you got to be four frames, hey, I'll take it. You know, four frames online, it's expected. Videl! The Vegeta assist has always... Dude, we are almost two years into the fighters now, and I will never get used to that. Just jumping at people and... I'm not switching out. Do we switch somebody else in or go for the sliding? I feel like sliding is the right choice. What the hell, dude? All right, we just go back for sliding. We just get him back in that corner, baby. Show me the Superdash or Vanish. No Vanish, just wall lights. My man is swinging. He is not very entertained right now. He wants to go home. That was kind of sick. Whoa, that was weird. Okay, we take sliding, no problem. Okay, not too bad. Let's get Goku Black out here. Do we have an extra jump? We do, and I guess we're doing this now. Yeah, I didn't mean to do that. Okay, again, I didn't mean for him to get hit by that, but I'll take it. Yeah, we don't want to let him... You can tell he wants the Vanish there. There we go, see. Again, he got hit by that. Oh, Goku Black turned around. It would have been a pristine read.   You Vegeta players are all the same. How many times do I got to teach you this lesson a little bit? And he de-pees. He's a genius. He's an actual genius. I feel like he's done so much more. No, he jumped... I messed up. I messed up. Did we switch him out into Goku? No, because level three in the air, he could still do it. He doesn't, though. He just... He likes that Vanish option. Oh, no, no, no. I think I was garbage, dude. And we both went for the sword option. I think we do just take Vanish here, right? I mean, what's the... What's the big loss? If I knew that corner Goku Black on, but this dude would be in for a whirl of hurt, it's all the same. But if I did know that dive kick combo, you best believe I'd be hitting that on the regular. I feel like we have not punished a lot of it. You know what? Let's just kill him. Let's just kill him. If you think I can't kill, you must not go to him. Human shotgun. Just get him out of here. The rod there. I'm going to jump back, use the beam assist, and then chout some... Okay, well, the Super Dash... Super Dash did get us... Wow, wasn't I sliding? Defense. Oh, come on. I shouted defense. How did that not work? This should kill. Yeah. Super Saiyan 3 does kill. Looking even. It's Goku time. It is Goku o'clock right now in the building. I'm waiting for him to Super Dash so that I can... Pop it. First one to Super Dash loses. Or wins. I'm going to take it. I'm going to take it all the way. Alright, we win. I think. Yeah, we do. Hit the level 3. Let Goku Black just do his thing. Get him out of here. Get him out of my building. Goku Black just doing his thing. Dude, I want Videl to do a little more, but I'm really struggling with it. Videl's a character that you got to play her a lot to really make the most out of her in neutral. Also, I'm getting blown up by Super Dash's, which isn't helping my case. So you also just need to be better at basic neutral. That assist is so good. It still makes me mad to this day how good that assist is. People were trashing that assist. Ah. People were trashing that assist when it was released. I was like, I don't know, guys. That is quite... Look at that range, the angle. Just Super Dash already.  I've never been more wrong in my life. I tried to make a huge read and got kicked in the head. Quite literally. Big Vegeta damage. Two bars to spend. Won't get a kill, but will get me down in the corner. Down on health. Ah. I thought we had him there with the obvious switch, but the lights came through anyway. Do I just click buttons here? No. There we go. The assist. Ah. That assist is crazy good. That assist is wildly good. How are you going to be that good of a character and also your assist is just snap? This guy does not like blocking. Don't let him vanish. Wow, he didn't go for it. Oh, and I don't like blocking.  Down on her luck. Face in the ground. Dude, we are getting destroyed this match. No, we don't down tech. We just up tech vanish. You haven't got copper yet? Alright, we're sparking. No, why do I hate blocking so much? No, I was just trying to read of level 3. Now we're going to get looped again. Let me know if this sign... Sing along if you know the lyrics. Alright, Vegeta is finally out of the way. No bar spent. We have just 6 points. Show me the Dragon Balls action. Let me see where Shenron is at. Shenron, where are you at? Oh my god. He is not even in the same building as I am. The last Vegeta Key Blast got me. Don't... Oh, what was that? Interesting choice. Another interesting choice. I am a god of lights. I put myself back in the corner and got punished for it all the same. Alright, I know this. Vegeta assist. No, I couldn't back him down enough. Alright, get in the corner. Let's go. I think we just... He chats you. Gohan, get off the table. Gohan is my cat. I'm providing... Okay, it's not too late. We just need to get 6 autocombos off. 1. How many Dragon Balls? How many more do I need, Lord? 2. Gohan, get off the table. Now is not a good time. Gohan, off the table. No. Gohan, get off the desk, bro. I can't see. I can't see. I can't fight. Gohan, I can't fight. You ruined me.  I shouldn't have named you Krillin. I shouldn't have named you Get Off the Table. I'm posing significant threats. Oh, sabotaged. Sabotaged by my cat. Oh, Gohan is countering me in the game now. That is so awesome. How did the Dragon Ball fighters... I'm about to just wild out with these lights. There we go. There we go. Sliding. Come on. I wanted that down heavy so bad. That would have been so nice. Oh, but I'll take that too. I'll take that as well. Get down there. No, I didn't mean to vanish. I think that might have been the lag. I don't know. Maybe I just... I significantly fat. Fingers that, we get to confirm Vegeta was down. Ah, I was trying to go out to... to what's her name, Videl. That would have been the classic. Oh, we actually hit Vegeta this time. Oh, it's all going so great. Dude, life is good. Don't let him vanish. I'm mash here. Take stuff. You've got to keep it extremely real with me. Huh? Sohan, get the orb out. Uh, mess it up, Vegeta assist. Okay, well, it did add scaling, so at least we have that. Oh, Tien. That would have been nice. Life would have been so good back then. Are we out? Ow, that was tricky and he still blocked it. That looked tricky. It's not like he crossed them up, so he could have just...  That was awful. That was really bad moves by me, but I wanted... I tried it out. What does he do? I've never seen a mix this potent. No, I should have gone out. Oh, he dropped it. Okay, I don't know what I'm doing anymore if we're being completely honest. Oh, I didn't mean to drag him rush. That's Videl down. We never got to do anything with a... Not anything, but we never got to... We never got to really see her heights. I have half a mind just to level one this man, and I think that's exactly what I'm going to do. Please hit. All right, well, whatever. Go, Divine Lasso! Nice, got him. That was close. I almost ruined that with my patience. Not patience. My inability to commit. The divine down heavy of a god. No, I wanted to down heavy again. I wanted to finally finish this by punishing some super dashes. And yet here I am better get final flash. Oh, let's go. Nice dragon rush. Give it up. Goodbye, Goku. Damn, he was looking dazed. Maybe it's for the best he gets to some rest. Nope, let's not even do that. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, this is bad. This is bad. Oh, that's really bad. That's really bad. What is that? That was interesting. Woo! I'll take it. I'll take it. I'll take it. I'll take it. I'll take it all the way to the bank. Let's go. Oh, he took a while with that level one. Next, no questions asked. This was really the TN game. Why TN packing all this power? Well, that's where I'm going to go ahead and end it. TN really came through for us. But Del, you know, she did all right. Goku Black was doing his thing as well. But TN was really the star of the show.

Welcome to Digital Asset News, the top stories in cryptocurrency and digital assets, and a big amount of bite-sized pieces. Today we've really got three articles to go over and it's a lot. So first up, Capital One files patent for cryptocurrency market AI prediction system. And the question really is asked is, do they know something we don't? Which leads us to our next article, which talks about big money is already in crypto markets, but we've only just reached the tip of a slow-moving iceberg. And I got to tell you, this is the right time to be in the digital assets. And finally, this will jump into another article, which talks about bequant and now in crowded prime brokerage race and add bank integration. And this kind of goes into the whole theory about how the traditional world and our digital asset world are merging quickly. So first up, this is interesting because this is what I'm looking for as far as mass adoption because smart money knows where things are going. They take a look at data, they take a look at analytics and they can say, you know what? We think this is what's going to happen and we're not going to just waste our time. We're going to actually file for a patent to make sure we try to dominate this space. So what's going on here? So Major U.S. Financial Services Company Capital One has filed a new patent application for a crypto analysis and trading system that will attempt to predict crypto market trends and generate trading decisions using AI or artificial intelligence. And there's already some things out there. But I got to tell you, when you have a multi-billion-dollar company like Capital One behind it, could be pretty successful. We'll see. Anyhow, Capital One explained that crypto is trade 24-7, so traders need to monitor information for many sources all day. Numerous factors could affect trade decisions, including regulatory, exchange news, stock, rumors, opinions on social media, Twitter, Reddit, YouTube and Telegram. And then everything else besides it like the ICOs, the forks, airdrops, hacks, rebranding and company, future plans. And I got to tell you, when I look at these types of things and I see all you TA guys out there and gals, I got to tell you, I just, I tip my hat to you because it's so much information to go over. I don't know how you do it. I just like to invest, stick my money into it, Ronco food dehydrator, set it and forget it, and I'm out. But good job to you guys. Anyhow, it would be impossible. Oh, they stayed here. It would be impossible for human traders to track all the above mentioned crypto related data and respond to that data in real time. It's also being possible to verify the credibility of the information in real time the company added. And I got to tell you, that is a big thing, credibility, because there's all these different stories out there and who knows which ones are false flags and which ones are actually legit, because they can just be out there just to move the, you know, the markets this way or that. So who knows. And then lastly, to finish up here, it says the patent application describes a system with a credibility analysis engine configured to determine the credibility of the crypto related information with weighted assigned. In addition, it can be configured to generate and execute personalized trades automatically based on predicted crypto market trends. So this plus the fact that big players are going to be jumping in, I think could be massive. So if you have these enormous institutions coming in, doing all these things, you know, increasing the or decreasing the trade time, getting artificial intelligence in the game. I mean, this could be massive and it could be massively good or bad for our little market. So let me explain what I'm talking about in this next article. So this next one, big money is already in crypto, but it's slow. So what's going on here? So announcements have become fast and furious about traditional financial firms investing in digital assets or crypto startups. So often in fact, that's blink and you'll miss them. First of all, who writes like this? Who wrote this? Let's see. This is a, I'm just, I know what it is. It's Alex Maschioli and he's the head of institutional services at Bequant, a leading crypto and digital assets prime broker coming from traditional hedge fund space. He's been in the game since 2017, advising crypto funds and institutional investors will be good for that guy, right? So first off, I like Alex. I've liked the way he writes and describes things ever since we covered an article. This is on July 23rd, which talks about don't expect banks to jump on the OCC crypto news. And everybody had been making a big deal about this because the OCC said that banks could custody crypto currencies and everybody was like, this is going to be fantastic. It's going to be awesome. It's going to be the end all be all. And Alex, one of the few ones like, wait a second, what are you talking about? I'm in this game and I can tell you right now, they're not going to do squat because they're slow. And I covered this fantastic read a link at the very end. And ever since then, I've been listening to what Alex is talking about. So before we get into this article about, you know, the big money moving in, but it's very slow. What we're talking about as far as trading goes, it was an article about Alex's company, Bequant. And one of the things that was concerning to me was about the reduction in trading time and as far as like speeding up to milliseconds. So this was a quick one and it just talks about where we are Bequant now in crowded prime brokerage race. Alex says for our sales cards, we're going to racing Bequant builds a crypto exchange to go into prime brokerage. That's their sole purpose. And that's from Alex Massioli. If you don't know prime brokers are facilitators for financing and trading for deep, let me say it again, deep pocketed institutional investors. All that digital asset space doesn't have a lot of prime broker options. Currently, several crypto firms, including Coinbase, Bitco and Genesis Trading, have announced just in recent months, their intention to build prime brokerage. And these guys have been doing it for over two years now. And I got to tell you, so when we're talking about getting the big players, the whale of whales into this space, I think this is a missing piece. However, there might be a downside. This is a quote from CEO George Zaria, where he talks about, to compete a newly crowded market, Bequant's connection to signature bank signet will allow the firm to more easily settle fiat for more clients. It's an important transition between the legacy financial markets and the new digital market. So they are the ones laying that track, building those institutions up so they can do all these things in our space. So again, linking everything together. Moving down, international world investment banks like Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley connect clients to hedge funds, pension funds and endowments. Bequant is connected to a leaven source of liquidity, including hit DTC, Binance, OKX, Huobi, Bitrex, Bitfinex, Derabit, and Bequant's own exchange and plans to expand its exchange connections to a dozen by the end of this year, which is coming up pretty darn fast. These exchanges are venues that our team has one-on-one relationships with. Masculi said, this isn't as simple as dropping in APIs. And I got to tell you, it's not about what you know, it is about who you know, and it's all based on relationships. So if these guys are going in there, building relationships with all these different companies and institutions, I got to tell you, that's going to pay dividends massively later in the line. And that's why I think it's impressive, not just about, like he says, dropping APIs, talking to a face, talking to a person and getting those connections. But here's where it becomes concerning and we'll jump back to the article. It states, one of the issues that we've had with some of our exchanges is that rate per second allocation. The CEO said, if you trade a high frequency trading strategy, you may want to opt into a higher rate per second allocation. Bequant's internal trading averages around 400 microseconds per trade, which is close to the London stock exchange, 150 microseconds. So if you're a day trader, which I am not, this might be bad news for you. But I got to tell you, it's inevitable. And why I think it's a bad news is because this is kind of squeezing the little guy out. When you start to get these microtransactions or these super fast transactions down to milliseconds, all these things that are happening on top of the AI that we just saw, I mean, it just is a, it is a worrisome type of outcome. And this actually comes down to a story that I had read a while back, which talked about the new transatlantic cable built the shave five milliseconds off stock trade. So if you don't think that time is important, listen to this, hibernian, how was that, right? Atlantic is building an undersea fiber optic cable that will stretch from New York to London. Now keep in mind, this was a article on 2011. This is already done. It allows computers to complete financial transactions just five milliseconds faster than their competitors. Finance is now increasingly dominated by automated trading and to a computer, five milliseconds is an eternity. So I don't know how much it costs to create this type of cable from New York all the way to Europe. But I'm guessing it wasn't cheap. But I'm guessing, I'm also guessing there was a reason for it. And it's probably because it's a lot of money that they're making. So yeah, moving back to the original article here, Alex talks about hedge funds and retail focused products are celebrating major fund raises and traditional banks are leading or planning to lead investment rounds in blockchain firms. And if we're talking about hedge funds and, you know, getting the institutional players involved, maybe we can look no farther than digital to a grayscale where they're just dominating right now. I mean, this was in quarter one 2020. So Jennifer, so around the beginning of April, they put this out, they had 2.2 billion assets under management. Now it's, I think it's like 4.5. I know it's in the fours. That's quite a bit of an increase. And right here it states majority of investments come from institutional investors dominated by hedge funds. So pretty much what we're talking about here. Then it's in any states, a publicly traded company has converted a significant chunk of its balance sheet to Bitcoin. I don't know what he's talking about about there. And US regulators have agreed to let banks custody crypto assets on the past two months. And this was the article we covered about OCC a couple of weeks ago where Alex wrote it and I agreed with him and he said banks aren't going to do anything not for a while because they're slowest nails. And that's true. These developments are all massive signals the rest of financial work. It is, but it just takes time. So further on he states a normally quiet season has seen a historic flurry of activity in the crypto and blockchain space. It's been a transformational time that's put the old guard on notice and forced them to turn on a dime from positions they previously held on to the digital asset space. And yeah, it just makes sense, right? I mean, what has been happening globally, we have still seen a massive increase in digital assets and cryptocurrencies. I mean, look what's going on. I mean, the economies in different countries are just getting lambasted. But here we are in the traditional stock market and more so in cryptocurrency having these huge runs. So what's going to happen in two, three, five years? I think the sky's the limit, but just an opinion. Moving on it states all this was recently bolstered by the OCC, which we talked about. It allows banks to charter custody of crypto assets. But this was a good piece here it says, but the smart money knows this change will not happen overnight. It will be a while before we have a Wells Fargo custody Bitcoin or Northern Trust hold a hedge funds ETH. That's why I like to listen to Alex because he talks to these people that maybe you or I are not privy to. And then here talks about even Goldman Sachs, which famously said the start of the summer that Bitcoin is not a suitable asset for an investment or an asset class at all has since you turned and named a new head of digital assets early this month, and they will be getting into the game by talking about maybe doing a stable coin. So it's amazing. They go from saying, it's not even an asset class cryptocurrency assets, but we're going to do one.  The hedge funds, Pantera and NY big also recently announced they have pulled in nearly 175 million and 190 million respectively. So not too bad. Sentiments clearly swing in favor of digital assets. I can see it myself. This is because sophisticated investors, big clients are increasingly talking about Bitcoin and Wall Street is scrambling to get up to speed and satiate client demand.  I mean, why wouldn't they? It's like they're sitting on their hands and just going, well, you know, we'll see what happened. We'll see what happens. But if you look at it, I mean, for Pete's sakes, Bitcoin and Ethereum have been the investment of the decade. And there is a video that I put out that just looks over the last 10 years, the highest performing stocks and different investments. And you can see right in 2010, we had Netflix was dominating everything and Domino's Pizza, who knew? Also dominating Amazon, Mass Car Visa. But if we speed this up, we see Netflix still there, Lulu Lemon, I mean, for all your ladies who like to do yoga. And then look at this from out of nowhere, here comes Bitcoin in 2013. And if we just play this a little bit longer, we can see that Bitcoin not only dominates, but it's going to actually massively outperform everything. So when they're starting to talk about all these things like, well, maybe we should do a little bit. Maybe we should do a lot. I don't see the problem here. Just do the things you're supposed to do and talk to your clients about like, look, it's not like it just came out of nowhere. And we're talking about tulips. This thing's been happening over the last 10 years. So just do whatever you want. Bitcoin or Ethereum seems like not a difficult choice. But that's just me talking just some armchair investor who's just throwing out random advice. But I just look and see what's happening. And I kind of make sense to me. Anyhow, to finish this up, he states, the clock is tipping, ticking, many firms are still sitting on the bench waiting to come into the game. Big question is where are we at? We're in the first quarter, the second quarter, and no one knows what's going to be the top, no one knows the bottom. But I got to tell you right now, this is history being made. And he's right. If you're in the space right now, if you're listening to this video, this is the most exciting time. It's not exciting.  That's exciting, right? But as time goes on, we're going to look back at this like, man, can you believe that the prices were this much and can't believe we got in this early? This is insane. And here we are. So I've started businesses and some make it and some don't. But I got to tell you the most exciting part is the startup is laying the track and building the foundation. And then when everything gets up to up the snuff, you can just kind of sit back and go, we did it. Anyhow, I will tell you this, these articles that were written, it just leaves me with a couple more questions. So what I did was I reach out to Alex, I go, hey, hey, man, if you're not busy, answer these questions for me because I don't get it. So because of that, let's jump in the office and have Alex answer them. All right, everybody, welcome back to the office. Pretty nice day. Hopefully those three articles give you some insight about what's going on. But there was a couple of questions that I had that I just I couldn't wrap my head around. So what I did was I reached out to Alex Maschioli, the gentleman that actually wrote or was in a part of those different articles just to ask him for specific questions. So Alex, thanks for coming on. I really appreciate your time. I know you're a busy guy. So thanks, Rob. Thank you for having me. It's an honor. I love the show. But so here's the first question in the first article where we were talking about it was the big money moving into crypto markets and the very, I don't know, first or second paragraph, he said, a publicly traded company has converted a significant chunk of its balance sheet to Bitcoin. I was just curious about which company was that because there's all this information out there. So you would be the guy that has the inside track. Yeah, I mean, it's an interesting story. So the company is MicroStrategy Incorporated. They're data analytics and mobility company. And with a market cap of about $1.2, $1.3 billion. So they had a $500 million balance sheet. And they said that they took a couple of months as CEO and I guess some of the executives and they decided to purchase $250 million and put it of Bitcoin and basically split their balance sheet in half. And it's interesting. The reasoning to hedge against the valuation of the occurrences. Right. So I found that particularly, particularly awesome because it definitely is hitting all the check boxes, at least for the maximum. Yeah. And you know what? I remember covering that story maybe like four or five days ago. And what was interesting to me was that the CEO, it wasn't like he was beating around the bush and going, well, you know, Bitcoin could do this or it might do something like this. He was like, this is what it's going to be. And we put 250 million into this because we believe strongly that this thing's going to happen with the economy, with all the money printing and to, you know, hedge against all the different things that are happening. So I found that the most interesting on top of what they'd already done. So I thought it was a pretty good step. They had analyzed a lot of different investments that weren't crypto related before making that step and purchasing essentially 21,400 Bitcoin. But it was the best option they had, they said. Yeah.  I mean, with as many resources as maybe not you don't have. And of course, the average guy doesn't have. So if you're looking at all these things and going, you know what? Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, digital assets, I think that's a bullish sentiment. That's just my thing. For sure. All right. So that was that. Okay, I just want to make sure. So yeah, I got it. The second one was since you're in the space, you're in the space with these high net investors. What's the sentiment with them, you know, two, three, four years ago? And what's their thoughts on digital assets now? I mean, do you kind of get that feeling like we're crossing the Rubicon, we're actually getting over this hump and they want to come in or is it kind of like, eh, you know what, we'll wait and see. Yeah. I mean, we've been speaking with institutional investors which carried over from the traditional hedge fund side of the street for the last three years. And there has been a big shift in the wind, so to speak on that. There's a lot, there was a lot, a lot of skepticism three years ago, two years ago around institutional investors allocating a portion of their portfolio into cryptocurrencies or Bitcoin particular. I think what has happened over those, that timeframe is that crypto has not gone away. And we're seeing month over month different stories popping out of mainstream businesses or financial services houses getting into it in some way or another. And so I think maybe a few of them decided that they wanted to wash it, just watch it go away, but it didn't. So right now, what we're looking at from an investment or a portfolio allocation style of thinking from them is that they're either directly investing into Bitcoin or they're laying the responsibility onto a hedge fund or asset manager. And whether it comes to Bitcoin or another crypto, they're slowly beginning to understand. And I think the figures around 1% to 5% of portfolio allocation into crypto is where the wins are. But we're also seeing the check riders, those amounts of allocation of capital into outside asset managers go up slightly. I would say maybe 30% over last year and last year was 90% over the year before, as far as the amount of checks they were writing or the amount of capital they were investing. Yeah, that's insane. But it makes total sense, 1% to 5%, you're not breaking the bank and then they can get in there and get exposure, then I don't have too much high of a risk. I always thought this would be a great idea for all the different finance managers to tell their clients go, hey, hey, Bob, just so you know, we have these new things, this new digital asset or asset class, and we go 1% to 3%, I'm not going to crush it. And it's one of the best performing assets of the last decade, Bitcoin and Ethereum. What do you say? I just don't see why they won't do that moving forward. So it makes total sense about that. I think it's a long sale cycle for them. I mean, I've advised and educated corporate pension funds and a sovereign wealth fund over the last 36 months. And I will tell you that that process is a very long one when interacting with their operational due diligence teams that select investments. So I still don't see them coming in in the near term, I would say we're probably looking for liquid trading strategies to be invested in by corporate pensions going out 12, 18 months. Gosh, can you imagine pensions coming in pensions? We may not have enough Bitcoin left. That's what I'm talking about. And see, this is this is why having you on is so invaluable because like we are this channel covers those stories, but to get, you know, the story behind the story and listen to somebody who's actually, you know, in that space, walking and talking to these people, it just kind of validates all those things. Because a lot of people will say, well, it's just a story, you know, and anybody can make these things up. But I mean, here's Alex and he's talking about like, look, I talk to these people, I know these people, this is this is where the winds are going. So I got to tell you, thanks a lot. Appreciate it. But but that and then so all these people that are coming in, which is fantastic, right? But the question is, then, when you talk to these people, what's their digital asset of choice? Are they is it just Bitcoin?  Or is it something like some crazy stuff? Like, hey, I heard about this tomato coin. I got to get into this. What is it? I'd like to, you know, I'd like to say everybody's still taking baby steps in this. So when we're talking to an institutional investor from a principal standpoint, as in it's their capital, it's 100% Bitcoin that they discuss. But that being said, they are the allocators are willing to put money with successful asset managers in the space that are trading across an array of coins. So it could be Ethereum, it could be Ripple, it could be, it could even be DeFi. I know there's a lot of asset managers that have certain allocation DeFi now. So when they make that investment into these asset managers, they're leaving it up to that manager to drive Alpha for them and get those yields. And they're not particularly concerned with what particular coin because that's what they're hiring the asset manager do. But when it comes to normal conversations, it's Bitcoin. That's what everybody knows and hears first. And so, you know, that's their educational standpoint right now. Yeah, and I get it. I mean, people out there, when I do a video, I talk about Bitcoin, it's one of my main holdings. They're like, why are you in Bitcoin? That is an old technology. It is the Netscape Navigator. Why don't you upgrade to Google Chrome or Brave browser? And I tell them, like, look, you have to understand, this has been around for over a decade. It's been battle tested. People know it and it's in the public consciousness. So when I start talking about the different things that are going to pop off, I think it's going to be Bitcoin first, because I just think that's how it's going to go, then Ethereum, and then down the line all the way to, you know, a coin market cap of 150. But that's just how I see it. And now it makes sense. Yeah. Yeah, something like that. I think it's a volatility, I think it's a volatility discussion, right?  And it's an hedge against devaluation of fiat. So I think that, you know, listen, Bitcoin is one type of investment strategy. I think it is going to, it begins to differentiate from, say, the defies, which are, you know, are accumulating very quickly, or the mid cap coins that are lowered down on the coin market cap sector, which are a lot more volatile, right? So I think they're all different investment strategies in their own right. Yeah, I try to be as safe as I can, or as safe as I can be in crypto. And that's one of the safe bits. But, you know, people want to invest in the lower ones. And even I do as well, but it's not that much. So if you got 5%, 3%, whatever else, and you're putting X percentage into Bitcoin, and then 10% to something, 10% to something else, sure, it makes sense. All right. Thanks, Alex. Cleared that up. The last question I have for you, and this was from, this was the article where it talks about the quant, now in crowded prime brokerage race. This is what your CEO was talking about. And this was, I thought, the crux of the arguments for the conversation. He stated one of the issues that we've had with some of our exchanges is the rate per second allocation. If you trade a high frequency training strategy, you may want to opt into a higher rate per second allocation. The quant's internal trading average is around 400 microseconds per trade, which is close to the London stock exchange, 150 microseconds. And when I read this, I went back to an article that I had heard about a long time ago with that, the transatlantic cable, which was by Iberian Atlantic, but they built it from New York to London just, and it was billions of dollars, I'm sure, to run a cable all the way that way. And the only thing it did was it sped up their transactions by five milliseconds so they could get an advantage. So when I see these types of things, I see these big guys coming in and they have these high transaction volumes, and they're reducing the actual rates. How does that work for the little guy? Like, I don't know, me. I mean, I think, so I don't think it would have, it really affects the everyday person investing in Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies. You know, the latency issues, which is the speed of transactions, is really geared towards high frequency shops. So they're doing thousands of transactions per minute, maybe even per second. So latency is very critical to them in order to really make that arbitrage yield that's happening, and it's a very little yield. That's why they trade a lot of volume very, very quickly so that those pennies add up to dollars. But the way it works is the closer you sit as a trader to the venue that you're trading off of is the quicker that your trades will get executed.  So there's a difference in speed. So with us, there's, we have a very low latency institutional trading platform, and we actually have hedge fund clients from all over the world that ship us servers, and these servers sit next to ours or cross connect. And that way that when they're trading, it's happening right there instantly between servers sitting next to each other and not a guy in California who's trading to a matching engine in London. That's amazing. That's crazy. And these things just happen like split seconds, milliseconds, blah, blah, blah. It's done. Microseconds. See, this is this is the world that I am not a part of. That's why I'm glad you're here to explain it because it just blows my mind that things happen that fast. And those transactions are, you know, running around and it's just like milliseconds. That's amazing. Those transactions are being run by by machines as well.  It's not being it's not being executed by a human. It's being executed by an algo driven computer. Yeah, perfect. Which goes off to our first article, which talked about Capital One and the artificial intelligence they're building and the patent and everything else. Full circle, Alex, great job. You're making my job easy. I appreciate it. No worries. Thank you, Rob. Pleasure to be here.  It's in one of my top five or top six and the recommendation that you can find in the description of every one of my videos. And the reason I like to watch it is because he has some of the best people in the game and he gives us access to a world that we may not be actually privy to because he's got the people that make up these things. Alex, appreciate it. Thanks so much. Thank you, sir. All right. All right, I'll be like that little segment. Hopefully it's shed some lights.  So I'm glad Alex at the time. If you like to have some videos and be two months going to pop up on your left and right, not for sure because YouTube controls that just like the unbelievable ad you probably saw, which was probably a scam. And I'm not, I have no control over that. So if you have any problems, talk to YouTube. They'd love to hear from you. And that's it. So thanks a lot. Appreciate you guys stopping by. See you in the next one.
