Literally, what is this? Hey everybody and welcome to show and tell we're back the OG hosts Thank you, of course to Liz and maker Melissa and JP and then Peter whoever has been Doing the show and tells I can't actually remember from day-to-day, but thank you, but we're back showing off Hosting the biggest online show off next 30 minutes people from around the world and come by and show off their 3d printing their code They're Halloween costumes or synthesizers and more you're making it you're using it You're doing something creative with it. Come on. Bye. We're here in Streamyard we're also on discord. Let's kick it off with some Adafruit folks maker Melissa Thanks, so I've been working on continuing to update the qualia s3 guide And one of the things I was doing is I was creating adding pages for the touch screen And this is a little paint demo. I made using circuit Python and display. I owe just to make use of it So when you start it off, it just kind of starts with white But you can go ahead and choose different colors here to draw and depending on how close to the edge It will Adjust the brightness so you can kind of go something a little darker if you want So So if I wanted to do something a little bit more gray, then I would just choose in the middle where it's a little darker But if I wanted it closer to white, then I would just choose right on the edge there So it's just a little demo It works really well because when it draws this little color palette on here It uses the a bit now so it can just go and grab what that color is when you touch it Really well nice. All right, this is cool. Like we've been you know, you've been slowly, but surely building out this guide It's historically been very hard to use these big displays round square You know TTL displays, but you're making it like trivial. You're making it too easy to Yeah, Jeff actually did a lot of the hard work. So that helped Okay, well, but you're documenting it. That's true. You know you went on vacation Appreciate it. All right. Yeah, let's be neat. We'll have all of our displays in soon. You'll be able to Get up and running fast for working on some like eyeball stuff. We have a bunch of cool things and demos So stay tuned and thanks for working on these Melissa. Thank you. Thank you. All right next Scott, what you got going on? Hello, I'm pushing my code while I'm waiting I'm I've been doing some Psylab stuff and so Psylab's they came to you and they We're interested in doing circuit Python. So they they added circuit Python support for their mg24 series of chips Which is super cool Love to see chip manufacturers adding support to circuit Python and I'm helping them out They're giving a tech talk next week. I think I'll put a link in the discord once I find it But they've got these cool dev boards Here's one and one thing that's neat is that They don't have native USB, which is bummer, but the USB is to a J-link chip So it's super easy to debug them, which is nice And here you can see the LED Blinks here that circuit Python is running. I can't show you circuit drive obviously But circuit by the running on here. You can use Thonny to use it And I'll drop a link for the tech talk I'm doing a piece of it given the circuit Python background and they're gonna go into more details About what that means on the PsyLabs chip. So check that out if you're interested They support BLEIO, but not the workflow. So I'm gonna talk to them about that as well All right, and I'm impressed they did BLEIO. That's cool Yeah, yeah, and and even in their slides Pre-new they They call out that like it's a cross-platform BLE stuff, which is cool. Sweet All right. Well, thank you scott and great news for people who want to use PsyLabs chip to circuit Python And then this week, um, people can tune in 3 p.m. Pacific 5 p.m. Not 3 p.m. Pacific 2 p.m. 2 p.m. Oh, it's time. It's time zone. Yeah, what time? I know. Yeah, we're gonna do metric time For the universe, you can have one 10 to 2 p.m. Um, Pacific 5 p.m. Eastern Yeah, we can join in for some detail. What are you gonna talk about this week? You think Oh Well, we finished the micro python 120 merge. So we might cover cover that But I've been changing some display. Oh stuff. I'm sure I'll show that as well Um, and then maybe some more 121 merge work that Dan started that hasn't finished yet. So, um Something in that vein. I guess So we'll see how far I get by Friday Okay, cool. Well, we'll see then and thanks for coming tonight. Yeah, thanks for having me All right next up JP. What you get going on? Hey a couple things. So I just, uh, published the guide for this Lego glove thing here. I'll I'll cover that other thing for a second so you can see it. So here is my, uh Color sensor feather and speaker and uh, thanks to c grover cedar grove maker who helped out with some Updates we got it working even faster. So this is sensing the colors of some different lego bricks And it is using those to trigger different pitches in a synthio synthesizer that does some chime like tubular bell modeling stuff for overtones. So, uh, I just grab some of the bricks I have 12 that I differentiate in code that work really well Um, and you can see if I if I uh point at these bricks. So here are different little sort of arpeggios play So it's gotten really pretty responsive, uh, which I love The learn guide is out. So if you want to build this or if you want to use this as a leaping off point for some other Color picker project or maybe sort your lego's without having to look at them. I don't know. Um, I know that actually Some people who have Different types of color blindness Don't see some of these bricks as different from each other and you can use something like this to differentiate, which is kind of interesting So go check out that learn guide. It's out.  I had the ghost already, but pretty much the rest of this was from this, uh, little set so I put together a little scene here and We sell I actually don't have any that you can see but if you look at these little skinny skinny wires here I have little smd leds. We sell these, uh, five packs and they have a tiny little smd led in different colors With a couple wires pre soldered to them. So you have to do it yourself Um, I want to do some lego lighting with these. So I was testing it out on this I'm gonna go ahead and drop the exposure on my camera. So you can see a little better Uh, so I have a little flame there He has a Little glow to it. Uh, and then I also have my ghost here. I put a led in his face Uh, and I'm using a pwm uh with an uh Potentiometer to say okay. How bright should this be? Um, so you can imagine we could do flickering effects, especially with a pwm We could do some really nice stuff Set these on timers set them to be reactive. Uh, it's kind of up to you And uh, I thought it would be kind of neat to to play around with this and maybe do a guide on One of the holiday village sets that I have and do some nice lighting up for that. So that is uh It's really cool. Really cool little led. In fact now that I've demoed it. I'll pluck one out so you can see Uh, what we're dealing with there is the raw led right there Oh, it's so tiny. It's just so tiny. Um, these are We used to deal with like these grain of rice incandescent bulbs for like trying to do.  They were only a few hours. Yeah, these are An incredible step up in the fact that we can do digital control with a microcontroller on them means that you've uh You've got a lot of options.  He had a head in there But I just put one of these up inside of his uh, his Sheets there. Sorry for getting a little personal with him. And then this is uh All I just have poles and them so you can slide these tiny tiny wires through without Needing to modify anything good good use of the you know, the mechatronic Lego pieces to like get the wire through because I was like, well, Put that in there Yeah um, yeah, welcome to lego rnd Uh video chat so one Yeah, so it's interesting because I was gonna say for the other part of your show until Um, the color synth I'm really surprised that lego doesn't have something like that like a little wireless glove for young people and they would like You know build something with bricks. Yeah, you know move their hand over it and would be attached to like an iphone or whatever or whatever device Or even a computer. Um, let's seem something like, you know, right up lego's brick alley. Um, and then the other thing you just showed which is being able to um Make pretty advanced Uh lighting and and and more Side note and we'll just move on to the next show and tell because this is probably a longer thing is So once in a while, there's different groups in lego and it seems like They have different people doing different things and they have their own research groups and creative groups, whatever We'll get asked to sign an nda and we usually have to say no Because it's for like 20 years heat death of the universe And and the reason why that we always say we can't is like, hey We're always kind of doing lego related things like modifying stuff or doing things with it And we wouldn't want them to say, oh, here's our new product line and then that's not for the new projects Right. Oh, we don't know anything that lego is doing which is great But I I do think they get really good ideas from the maker community Data for community because this is kind of like cutting edge. We have those wireless leds inside lego So just for lego on our site if you're interested in um kind of upgrading your your lego sets But in case anyone's wondering because once in a while we get asked it's like, hey, you should do something with lego It's like, yeah, we'd like to but they we probably wouldn't be able to or Yeah, which I get so we just decided like we'll just you just we do open source stuff. Just go look at our work and Yeah, I appreciate you doing that because I love doing little lego projects and I would hate to If we knew anything that was coming up, we'd have to be like, hey, jiky, we can't really, you know Think about this because they told us and whatever and it's always like the basic anything with electronics and lego It's like man some or method of Bricks and electrons. Yeah. Okay. Well, anyway, so folks know some of the stuff we do and don't do behind the scenes here Okay, thanks jb. Thanks jb. Thank you. You're welcome this week Okay, okay. Pedro what you got going on? Hey guys, so this morning on 3d hands. We released the Another prop is the faz wrench from the video game five nights of freddy They have a movie coming out next Friday. I believe I gotta go take the kids to go see that because they've been begging for This thing. This was uh Gavin's idea. He's been wanting this for a while and I forget what triggered me to actually build I think it's having the stemma lcd backpack Um, definitely helped because everything is so like modular now like I even put, uh, like the headers on here So I could take it off. So when the kids do break it, let's have it to design everything now making It so where it can be all disassembled and replaced everything. So Prop maker rp20 40 on there has handling all of the driving list the the screen the sound effects We have a rotary encoder here that I turned into like a thumb button And then you have your two led buttons that'll get you into the two modes This is like a like one of the main tools that use in the game to like unlock doors and things like that So you go like in the door unlock mode You're like disable the nodes I think is what they call it and then go into like the puzzle mode And that's using the accelerometer to like change through different sound effects as you're Turning it. I think you like turn to like do complete puzzles like uh, like a maze I'm looking up an image of it on because I was like, what does it actually look like and you it's a spinning image Yeah, yeah, I try to get it as close as possible So it's not only a prop case, but the most important thing that I wanted is to be a useful case So it's real antennas. You can you know get a laura Feather hook it up do like actual wired projects. You just you know, we have ufl connectors on most of the feathers The these aren't real leds.   So it's like a it's not like a fake Like if it wasn't a prop that you would buy it would be like a spinning thing when you wouldn't feel real Yeah, when I was looking at the photos like um, one of the complaints from Gavin I was like, oh the scroll wheel is supposed to be like bigger But I'm like dude if that happens it's gonna pop out of the back. So yeah, I mean like easy when it's 3d rendered, right? You know, exactly. Yeah. So it it checks off all the boxes. It's circuit python It's 3d printing all the design stuff there that are the aterfruit github the aterfruit fritzine github the um All the libraries that come with it, you know the component bono all cups together And then some of the other check boxes like this is something that your kid wanted that you can now play with these Are you Did you are you finally cool like I mean, I think so that's But now it's like oh, maybe your job's kind of like kind of fun. Exactly. Yeah, so it's like every single check boxes only took 10 years Oh, yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, I just have to keep whatever the next thing they want Okay, well, yeah, go check it out. It's all free. You can uh, like I said reuse all the components the case especially Um, it's all step files. You can edit everything change out all the components and get all the files for building your own Thanks so much. Pedro. We'll be playing some of these videos and more tonight on us the engineer Congratulations on achieving cool dad cool dad's house for now Hey, what you got going on Hey folks, uh, yeah, we're we're we've been on a tear with these prompt maker projects So last week we uh, we collabed with phil b to remake his howl 9 000 project Uh, so instead of doing the laser cut phil thought it'd be a good idea to 3d print the whole thing Uh, so we got the prompt maker in the back here with uh, one of the enclosed speakers And the massive 100 millimeter button so you can press the button printing resend ratio 0 2225 Hey, that was a weird one. Let me see if I can get a better one. I'm sorry, Dave. I don't have enough information There you go. That was a better one. We're doing that. So we don't get in trouble for publishing. Yeah, that's copyrighted Reference it. Yeah, I'm sure it'd be fine. We can get away with it But like we also just showed how you can make your own. So Use any audio clips you want. That's the great thing Audio clips online if you want we just don't want to we don't want to put them on our servers Exactly. Yeah, so those the audio recording is is through the mac os uh nice to speech And there's a lot of ai tools I think phil b was looking at some of them that actually have howl's voice that's been like audio Auto generated so you can you can get those if you want, but we're not allowed to distribute those But anyway, um, it's all 3d printed It's both together with a couple screws and what I really like about it is it's there's really no soldering These quick connects Quickly connect, you know, it's the terminals on the buttons and the leds and everything just gets screwblock terminal So it's it's really easy to put it together Yeah, even the label is 3d printed instead of having to like print it out on a 3d printer Like you just do the layer swap thing to get the multiple colors But yeah, it's it's been it's been a fun one. Um, the kids like it too, apparently Uh If everyone's gonna start revisiting all the like ai takes over or whatever because chat gbt and all the ai stuff I haven't really seen You know, there hasn't really been I think this just like generational or something there hasn't been like This is just like howl 9 000 like no one's really talking about that. There's also like the forebun Project, which is like a really old weird movie that everyone should watch. Yeah, you made me watch that Yeah It's great because at some point the ai is telling the inventor it's like you need to drink and you need to just like Make more robot stuff. Yeah, it was like very 60s. It was like you must have alcoholic drink to There's a very in-depth review of the movie on adafruit's blog. It's a lot of smoking. Yeah Anyways, all right. Well, thanks so much today. Yeah for sure. No problem We'll be playing uh, some of the videos from 3d hangouts tonight. Excellent engineer. All right Next up we're going to go to seth and then zack and then joey seth. How's it going? Hey everybody, uh, so uh, kind of riding on the the cool dad Vibes so I've been working on a little little mini game boy kind of emulator thing and uh I kind of got the inspiration when you made the little doom player with the esp 32 s2, I think last year And so I had kind of shelved it for a little bit and I was like, you know I'm trying to find something fun to do for christmas presents this year. So I'm working on this little game boy And so I've come up with a little menu so I can load like a bunch of different games on it So like right now I just have like a little cow chasing game as you can see just and so this is a little menu but uh You know, you could basically you just like chase the cow around and I made like little sprites that you can like Try to that to try to make it a little bit more fun um And all this using circuit python and and everything and so that was pretty Pretty cool to show that you're like you can you can just like open up microsoft paint make some make some sprites code up on circuit python and and make yourself a little a little miniature game boy And so it actually ended up being you know like surprisingly simple But I mean on the thing that took me as long as was designing this little 3d printed case for this And this one I had to make a little bit bigger because I I made the classic mistake of accidentally swapping the polarity on the Battery connector, so it's a little bit taller because the battery cable has to go up around the top but Overall, uh, you know it it came out great and the the next version is going to be even even smaller And now I've even got plans for making a an even bigger one um, and so this was actually in the uh this week's The circuit python or the age group daily, I guess whatever comes out on on the circuit python newsletter So there's link to the github repo um I finally got the uh the design files back in I accidentally overwrote my schematic file and had to rebuild the schematic Good practice. Yeah, exactly So the the chasing cows game is up there And I've got more more planned to come along too. So the esp 32 can they can play a lot Sure, I was just um, we're talking about we wanted we have a little tiny kid So, you know those board books that are kind of like stiff and they have that the kids can look at But you can do custom ones and we're like, oh we'll get pictures that we know she likes and we'll do a custom board bug But the they're the modern parents now could do things like i'm going to make my kid a custom Game player Yeah, I make games that they make and it's like you can get a little glimpse of the future about what people are making now Five ten years from now will be even easier, but you're able to send off these files. You can Do something very easy drag and drop images and now you've got a game player So I think that's going to be the future is as as kids start playing video games There's always like oh kids are never going to learn how to make something. Well, they'll be able to make their own games and this is probably a good a good glimpse of Future future kids being able to do something like that Oh, yeah, I 100% agree my uh, my son saw it and he was like, wow, you should sell this in stores Like the amount of confidence and excitement he has about it That's more than enough to Yeah, you can have them sell them at school. You know, kids would sell candy in school. You could sell little video games Yeah Exactly he he would he would he would show all his friends. That's cool. All right. Well, thanks so much keep coming back to the show It's all thanks for sharing that and I'm glad we were able to put it in the newsletter Yeah, thanks. All right next up. We're gonna go to zack. Hello, zack. What you got going on sound jack good? Yeah All right. Hi there. I'm a software engineer living in San Francisco. Um, I wanted to share with you I'm an exciting new algorithm for the dot star family LED strips. It's gonna unlock High dynamic range and give you that extra five bits in the brightness By that's being sent out Um, so before I get started, I just want to kind of show you a demo of what it looks like Um See if we can here we go. Yeah, we're weird that it got squished, but whatever. Um Yeah, we can see it. Okay Yeah It's what you see is uh, there are high highs and low lows got a lot lower Yeah, how I did that a little bit. Um, it's called a bit shifting algorithm is what I call This is currently in review for fast LED. Um, and What it does is essentially gamma cracks the led in driver space. So your Input buffer can remain rgb 888 it's going to map it to 8885 And we have the smooth power curve all the way up all the way down to 255 um, the way that it works is uh, you know, let's say we've got our g be Then power So let's say that our Green and blue are all One and then our power is going to be 31 which is uh To the fifth and all the bits flip to one We can all agree that this is actually equivalent Um Well, we're we're going to bit shift back to 15, but let's just say this is almost equivalent One bit doesn't matter who cares. Yeah. Yeah one bit doesn't matter I actually does matter once it gets down to the low bits, but if we bit shift this to the right We can bit shift everything to the left Essentially, that's the way that I did it But to get all those bits the complicate the algorithm got a little bit more complicated So anyways, um as far as I know This hasn't been done before And I'm excited to get this into fast le and I hope that you guys find some value In this hope it gets integrated into your library You can find it in Right here Fast led the issue is 15 45 Cool. This is very cool. Just to clarify though because I don't people are going to ask You don't get the full dynamic range If some leds are very dim and some leds are very bright. It normalizes over the entire led brightness It's a per yeah, it's a per pixel. So basically what it does is it gamma cracks The led and brings into 16 bit space and then does its bit shifting gets the brightness And then both the color and the brightness Well, the colors converted back into 8 bit with a with the 5 bit brightness and then that's all written out to the leds Okay, cool. All right, sweet. All right, this is neat. So you get you're getting like so many more bits Yeah, it looks amazing. I'm already using it in my projects. Okay, cool drop me a note when the If in one the pull requests will get added But drop me a pt data fruit I'm allowed it to our like newsletters or whatever so folks can try it out a lot of folks use Fast led with our stuff. So they'll probably have some projects That's the best part is you'll start to see people do need stuff with it And I think I don't know but I think this is the first time there's been like a world premiere of an algo It's like dropping an album or something like If you're having trouble getting it merged into fast led because I actually don't know if fast led is still big maintained Um, feel free to do a pr against dot star. Just create a new Um subclass called dot star underscore hd or something that will take in that you know that will do that extra work So people can use the original Um without your algorithm coming in because some people are using very slow microcontrollers I don't want to add this gamma correction, but then they can use the subclass, you know dot star hd And it will add that um automatic get a gamma correction So, I mean fast led is totally cool. If you if you get it added there I just don't know if they're I know that it's sometimes been challenging Because there's no maintainer anymore Yeah, that's correct. It is going slowly. Hopefully we'll get in The right thing about my algorithm is it's not really tied to anything related to fast led Um, you're basically putting in bytes and getting out new bytes. Yeah Okay, well, you got another you got another option You know if you if you want to see it get out there and then uh, thanks for coming by and debuting an algorithm Um, I hope this is now a trend. Well, this is basically like a shark tank before I'd like the maths on that. Okay Thank you. Bye. Okay. I saw Joey haven't seen a bit. Good to see you. How's it going? Well, Joey's sent me an email and I have it in draft. Um, there was a cool project that uh, Joey sent me and I'm I'm gonna get back to you Okay shortly, but good to see you haven't seen a bit. What are you up to? Actually, I was going to show off a bit of that project. I think that I emailed you about Okay, yeah, uh, let me uh, yeah, so is my screen sharing work? Yeah, there is Yeah, so, uh, I worked on this with my buddy Zach. He's a sculptor and uh, yeah Effectively, uh, this is the a train sea serpent or subway sea serpent It is out in the rockaways at beach 60th street There's the kind of platform up above and uh, the cool thing that I contributed to it is It lights up. So, uh, this is using a lot of eta fruit Parts and a lot of eta fruit designs and I had a little photo album. You don't mind me going through really quick So, yeah, this is uh, my buddy Zach in the studio kind of uh, sculpting some of the Some of the foam that goes into the little, uh They call them horseshoe crabs a little like kind of ground pieces of the subway serpent behind them That's me Um, so yeah, this is kind of the work in progress and then uh Yeah, what makes it fun is these uh, this is like a duratrans print of the atrain logo um Miss alert Yeah, no, we're Isn't that cool what's seen is it's such a fixture in your life in new york city when you see it in this like fantastical Way, it's like, oh, yeah, it is like a subway serpent It is like this thing that kind of can go in that also water and everything This is cool Zach also like the idea of like it jumped off of the tracks to make its way toward the beach, you know Yeah, yeah But yeah, so inside uh as many of my things are it's a kind of a feather oriented build Which I love because if you start with feather, you can kind of like add things on even if they're custom things So I have this like four channel uh led driver Using some MOSFETs to like pump some extra power through these white leds And my lcd feather wing which is kind of a nice always on display that can set the brightness of each channel And so yeah, here's that one goes solar panels with the work in progress lighting And uh, yeah, it's a couple of weatherproof enclosures so we can have it apparently make it humid inside there because you know, it's outdoors And then yeah the view from inside Oh, yeah, I like this train with legs kind of uh tied with me inside of it Um And yeah laser cutting the uh Emblem that goes on the side to kind of make it look right and then this is the install where we kind of went out there to beach 60th street and put it all together Is this official art or is this like This is official art. Uh, it's actually you can tell it's officially because that has a sign and everything Oh, okay. Okay. It's got a sign there. No, no, I didn't know. Uh, no, because you know, it's like people are like Oh, I just installed art and it's like go see it because it's about to be like taken away But how how uh, long is it going to be there so people can do that? In theory indefinitely, uh, it's it's uh, we we did stake it down on the ground and um, yeah I I mean it's got it's at least a year. So it'll be there when you go to this up to the beach for next summer Um, but yeah, so there it is with the real thing right above it and uh Have fun. Yeah, I'm standing. Yeah, I love pop Art it's like not warholus, but it's like familiar things that are like logos or brands or like infrastructure and then turned into something like around here in soho there's like a park bench that's like It looks like someone took the photoshop, you know, clone brush and just made like a bunch of benches and it's a giant bench sculpture Um, really neat to see Um, the the subway uh kind of come alive Uh, so thank you very very cool project to work on and yeah, like I've been on Yes, stoked to have it out there and like yeah, like people have been noticing it Also, I'm not sure I emailed you about it, but if we've got a little shout out in the untapped article about it Yeah, I got it. I'm buried in some email We'll get it up on the blog and everything as well and uh, thanks for coming by. Good to see you. Good to see you doing All right. Thanks so much everybody. That's our show and tell jam packed with lots of fun things We'll see everybody next week 7 30 p.m. Eastern time We do show and tell every single week and people come together And share the things they make everyone makes a thing turns out So we'll see folks on ask an engineer in just a couple minutes and we'll see you next week on show and tell Thanks. Come by everybody. Bye everybody. See you in a few


Did you get stuck?    It must have actually bothered you three Today I counted the number of people taking the bus because they had to Versus the keen wearing granola types trying to reduce their carbon footprint.  I'd respond in my present college educated mind I'd cross my arms under my chest to underline my seriousness all the while Still feeling the heat of your touch against my ear What's funny is that normally I have a BPA free stainless steel water bottle like right next to me and I forgot it today It wasn't a prop to begin with but then it just ended up being funny Dear Carol I Saw a dog that looked like shadow. I haven't thought about him in years Maybe even years from the last year.  I Keep having this dream.  You didn't believe in for days afterward I kept feeling I was being watched. I could feel your cold hard stare I sing my spine and at first I thought you were mad dogging me from hell, but then why was it cold? It must have been that you were peeking around the corner at save mart Seeing if I would cry while reading the ingredient label on hot pockets While I tapped the green streaked shell of a watermelon. I Could have sworn you were outside the cafe that used to be Java Leaning your round shoulder against the grimy brick Marlboro smoke curling about your head, but none of my friends knew you None of them had seen you and they were all too college smart for lying and revenge Too smart for the possibility of undead haunts Only you would have believed me Only you would have seen the possibility of such an option the power Inherent in hiding in the pretext of death That's why this was so ingenious Why I want to publish these letters in the Merced Sun Star the Berkeley Daily Planet Intermountain News the Desert Dispatch the Palo Verde Valley Times the Daily Triplicate the Culver City Observer the Humboldt Beacon the Sentinel the King City Rustler and Idle Wild Town Crier. I Want you to know that I know I Want the new people in your life after death Maybe even that emailing lover to ask you how long you plan to let this go on How long is long enough and then I'll just share one one more quick one I've been working on new a new series and I really like turtles I They're just awesome.  Until like halfway through their little egg process and I was everything to do with heat and I was like, that's awesome So I'll just share with you one of I have a new series of turtle poems and that's just sort of a re-envisioning of The Native American myth Where the turtle carries the earth so I'll just read the first one in that it's called when turtle first began to carry the earth When turtle first began to carry the earth there was only turtle as There was only canine and feline only snake and bird only rabbit and fish Of course, there was no earth either Only land and water enough to comfortably sleep and feed and play the animals who enjoyed each other's company creatures of the land and of the water all jumped and played and made up harmonious songs in honor of one another's differences Turtles favorite song was the song feline sang to him as they munched leaves and bathed each other's faces Oh turtle friend. Oh turtle friend your shell is a lovely home Your shell is a lovely home your eyes wise and sweet your eyes wise and sweet In return turtle sang to her. Oh feline friend.

g Battalions and spells and like magic is totally different now. We use extra dice like none of that like It's fine and then just have 12 good scenarios most players Most warhammer players Probably play Three or less games a year Okay Like that's reality So They don't need Super heavy crazy changes Now tournament players who are doing five games on a weekend and doing two tournaments a month Sure, they might get To know the meta and it might be unlocked I would still argue it's going to be a highly changing environment because of new battle tomes coming out and battle scroll and stuff like that Like there's still plenty of churn Happening to keep it interesting But you could always just add the six month mark Publish six new scenarios for you for your event battle pack as a pdf All right, and that'll change up the tournament experience for the back half of the year, right? We don't need this. This is my problem I just feel like the ghp is is like despite having and I stay behind this I think the current ghp the one right now has some of the best design scenarios I've ever played I think generally they are most of them like nine and a half of them are tournament ready and fun And I enjoy playing them and I only think one of them is utter trash That's the two towers one. That's just terrible And that's great Like that's really good and should be heralded. But why is that all we're doing with this book? So I just I initially girls concept was a home run. I don't know why they Right, right By the way, the general's handbook, you know what that's built off of right that's built off of the general's compendium Which is the thing that was existed in warhammer fantasy battles which Had a bunch of different play types and supported a bunch of different ways to explore the game and You know, here's a map campaign section of rules and so on and so forth, right? Where's that stuff? All right, it just it just feels like especially since we got rid of points out of there Because obviously they're in the the you know, they're free now, which is great good You know, that's all the points updates are separate and and digital and stuff like that. Yeah Um But like put over something What's that remember season of mondia And we just had this like one random narrative supplement that had like all of the other stuff in it That should have been in the general's handbook and it was like, oh, maybe we're just gonna get one of these every year instead But then we just got one for the entire edition and they dropped it, right, right It was a great book, by the way It was it was a great fun book. We played through the whole narrative arc in there buddy, and I had a fun time Had a fun time It was great. Like we did it as a chained thing week to week, right? Like actually following the whole track.  The incarnate was received so poorly. They they iced it Whatever the next season was supposed to be So which if that's the case correct choice Yeah, so We've talked about pruning things. Yeah, what things Let's say three things. Yeah What three things would you prune out of? current Age of sigmar rules for a new edition Incarnates are gone. That's instantaneous. That's that's I'm not even gonna count that. That's not one of my three I'm just I'm just putting them in the bin Okay, like they're dead now Um, that whole concept is dead now Bye. Bye. Bye. Go away. Leave Okay Um, if I can't answer three or seasons Right, because that's what I would like to do. You're asking me like real rules that I would I would cut out um, if I have to do this as one thing and not a a Uh, not a new battle pack. It's easier if you ask me like what's my starter battle pack Because then I would just say I would cut battle tactics. I would cut Uh, uh, battalions and I would cut Uh Probably I don't know what's the third thing I've got. I don't have to think about third ones Those two would be easy cuts for a starter battle pack Um, either get rid of battle tactics or grand strategies or something or do something different with them I don't like that the way those two interact. I think they're silly. I don't like the army specific core battalions I think they're garbo. Um, I would definitely prune army specific battle tactics and grand strats at minimum Those are gone. Those are just yeeted into the sun instantaneously Those have no reason for existing So that that would stuff like that would make my list. Um, You know, I would obviously completely redesign the enhancement section a lot like that would be that would be ground up rewrite right I would redesign the core battalions because One of them is really good. Two of them are pretty decent and three of them are utter trash Though those need those need a second pass like we clearly got the first Pass at those Right So i'm hoping they learn from it and we we get a better version now this time around so That kind of stuff. I think that would be I mean, there's probably other stuff We could prune You know like we could probably Uh, we could probably clean up some things here and there I'd have to like really flip through and think like what's that? What's the right answer? But I'm sure that at least that A lot of ancillary stuff We've cut a lot of good stuff like the stacking is gone. The re-rolling is gone the You know multiple word saves and stuff is gone like all that stuff has been handled, right? So Yeah I would I really want them to re-look at the um like force organization Hmm. Um, good call Good call We're at a place where point structures have made it bear Let's just assume 2000 point game Or How often are you ever going to be able to reasonably fit more than six heroes into a list? It's almost always a bad choice Like it's almost always going to ruin your army and the armies that want more than six heroes They purposely deleterified the other heroes like like um rim rath berserkers and stuff like that How many artillery pieces even exist in the game at all anymore exactly And like three quarters of the mercenary Are we punishing one army? Yes Yes, um I like why like Behemoths like why is that restriction there because Anytime you have an army that would bump up against that restriction It has an exception Or you just blow over it Yeah Um, so it's a meaningless restriction and then battle line like There's very few armies. It feels like battle line actually is a real constraint Um So many conditional battle line out there so many things are battle line You know hitting three battle line units is not hard so I I I don't know What the correct answer for forced organization is um Also with uh like like why are we still restricting max three endless spells? Sure Why does that restriction even need to because of the time when they were we're we're like because of one go round where they were overcooked And people would spam them out there and they blocked movement and stuff like that right like this is what happens Yeah, and now and now it is a meaningless artifact in the rules. It's just bloke now Yeah And the ally rules and and um coalition Why do we have allies and coalition? Without like a really meaningful distinction between what those two things are Um, I don't know. I think they need to relook at that too A lot of it. I think there's a lot of room there I don't know what the correct answer is for what it should be But I know that what we have now is dumb and doesn't really mean anything Yeah, I mean at minimum the artillery one is a joke and obviously we know that that reinforcement points are just like Just obscenely punishing to some armies for no reason be other than how they decided to write the numbers in the back of the book Right. It's not That kind of thing you're pushing more certain armies for absolutely no reason and then every other army It doesn't matter at all to you so what is the purpose of having that rule in there at all? Right, right. What? Yep, agreed All right. Well that brings us to what did we miss everybody? Hey, you should tell us in the comments below drop us down Uh, Paul, thank you, man.

Hey guys, this is Rich from RichTVLive and I had to bring you this video. Charlotte's Web CBD sales grew 57% to 17.7 million in Q3. This is a company that I brought to you guys first, told you guys it was going to be a leader in the CBD space and a huge player in America and they have been nothing short of a monster. Q3 revenue of 17.7 million on 57% year-over-year growth, year-to-date revenue reaches 48 million with a 34% adjusted EBITDA. Charlotte's Web CWEB in Canada and CWBHF in America, the market share leader in hemp-based CBD wellness products, today reported financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018. All amounts are expressed in US state's dollars, certain metrics including those expressed on an adjusted basis are non IFRS measures. Highlights of third quarter 2018 results versus third quarter 2017 results. Organic revenue grew of 57% to 17.7 million gross profit before biological assets adjustments increased 54% to 13.8 million or 78% of consolidated revenue. Adjusted EBITDA increased 23% to 5.4 million or 31% of consolidated revenue. Significant marketing investments made in brand relaunch to be leveraged throughout 2019 completed initial public offering generating net proceeds of 71.5 million. Highlights of nine months 2018 results versus nine months 2017 results. Organic revenue grew of growth of 75% to 48 million gross profits before biological assets adjustments increased 80% to 37.1 million or 77% of consolidated revenue. Adjusted EBITDA increased 71% to 16.2 million or 34% of consolidated revenue. During the third quarter we completed a successful initial public offering and private placement that generated significant capital for the company that is being deployed to accelerate our growth in the hemp-derived CBD sector. This company is being used primarily to expand the company's cultivation and production capacities to meet the increased demand for our industry-leading Charlotte's web products both domestically and internationally. Hess Molallum, president and chief executive officer. Charlotte's web is the market leader in the rapidly expanding hemp-derived CBD wellness markets. Love the CBD space and we are committed to the highest quality products and efficiency. Our future product expansion plans will continue to support the stringent demands and expectations of our valuable customers. Mr. Molallum added a successful passing of the forthcoming 2018 Farm Bill by the US Congress will be a catalyst for the growth in our industry adding further momentum to the evolving market sector. We have contributed to and supported this important legislation from the beginning for the positive impact it will have on consumer access for both hemp-based CBD products and for our valuable farming communities throughout the country. Product portfolio sales increased year over year during the quarter with human nutrition products and animal nutrition products growing by 42% and 153% respectively with the pet line growing from a smaller base as it was just launched in February of last year, said Mr. Molallum. In general, broader consumer awareness of the benefits of cannabinoids namely cannabinoidial CBD and whole plant hemp extract is driving the increased uptake in both our retail channels and within our e-commerce platform. Primarily available in natural health stores throughout the United States, the company recently surpassed 3,000 retail locations during the quarter after the first a major drugstore chain began carrying Charlotte's web products in the Northwest US. Consumer education is driving demand through ever larger retail chains illustrating the widening mainstream awareness and demand for Charlotte's webs products. The company continues to expand its market leading product line adding two new products in September a maximum strength hemp extract oil and a CBD isolate oil. The maximum strength hemp extract product is a 100% CO2 extracted formulation containing the highest level of CBD in the company's product line to support overall health and wellness. The company's new CBD isolate product a formulation that contains no more than 13 parts per million THC gives Charlotte's web users the ability to add more CBD to their existing full spectrum routine without increasing intake of other cannabinoids if desired. These products are just the beginning of the company's expanding product portfolio as new products will continue to be introduced demonstrating the company's leadership in the market. Additional products are under the development where CBD can be incorporated into lifestyle products such as beverages, animal nutrition and other wellness related products. Love this company your boy Rich is heavily involved in the CBD space you guys can take a look at PrairiePure.ca that is our CBD company but CBDs are not legal in Canada which is causing a lot of problems for us they are legal in America thank you Health Canada and they are legal in Europe and we are not in either market because we don't live there now that doesn't mean that we won't be there we are actually shipping products to Europe right now so we will be where we need to be to be a CBD player Charlotte's web if you're looking for a CBD partner consider your boy Rich holler at your boy we love to have you on our show and we love to work with you because we believe in the power of CBDs revenue for the quarter ended September 30 2018 Q3 2018 totaled 17.7 million compared to 11.3 million for the same period in 2017 representing a 57% increase on a year over year basis for Q3 2018 e-commerce revenue grew by 37% and wholesale distributor and retail revenue grew by 118% revenue from human nutrition products and animal nutrition products grew by 42% and 153% respectively the company's canine products were introduced in February of 2017 revenue for the year to date period ended September 30 2018 year to date 2018 totaled 48 million that is exponential growth compared to 27.5 million for the same period in 2017 representing a 75% increase on a year over year basis I mean these companies just keep growing they keep getting bigger and better I don't care about the share price I care about these companies growing and the reality is this industry is booming and it's going to continue to boom all you got to do is keep reading these financials these companies keep growing they're getting bigger and bigger quarter after quarter year after year and they will continue to balance sheet and cash flow the company used 4.6 million of cash in operations during the third quarter 2018 compared to 2.5 million of cash provided from operations during the third quarter of 2017 the reduction of cash flows from operations primarily reflects the investment in inventory associated with the 2018 hemp crop and other raw materials used in the production process in anticipation of materially increasing revenue opportunities the company's cash as of September 30 2018 was 79.4 million compared to 7.1 million in September 30 2017 that's 10x working capital as of

And we're live. Hey everybody. Thanks for stopping by. I got to tell you I do like doing these shows when we are ripping in the markets So as always I've got my friend guy from coin Bureau and Ben from another cryptoverse gents. Welcome back to the show Was it going? Yeah, thanks for having us Rob. No problem. I mean like these are the days we want to be around right everybody It makes a nice change doesn't it No, it's it's super nice and like of course like Thanksgiving's coming up for for americans here and of course, we're going to go to our our Thanksgiving dinners Now you don't have to listen to everybody talk about hey, hey, mr. Investor how's things going you can get to it and go Yeah, it's going pretty damn good as a matter of fact I got bitcoins up 128 or something like that. I got slanted up 400 for 300 from the low. I got always ones Yeah, it's going great. Thanks for asking So my neighbor asked me about bitcoin yesterday.  That's it. Oh man. That's an It is a sign, but it can off you know that that phase can last for weeks before you know It turns around. We don't know that is true. No, no, I think this is just the beginning I think it is so today. I wanted to talk about some stuff Everybody's favorite topic, uh, which would be the price predictions. So, uh, I know guy you put out a very inclusive very in-depth video of these price predictions and I told you on your live stream I would ask you and here we go. So bitcoin eats a lot of price predictions Then I want to get into and and ben Is on his expertise We you just did a video about the return on investment as far as like the pre-having years Let's take a look at the having years and then also how does the dominance play into that? And uh, lastly, I just want to talk about and just to warn everybody is uh, what are the We're all pros, but what's coming up for the rookies and if you're here right now watching this stream You are not a crypto tourist, but there are some things to be aware of So we'll get into that and lastly we'll do a little q&a. So first things first my man guy You did this great video and uh, it was it was pretty Interesting to say the least and you talked about and first of all price prediction videos do fantastic as far as views go I think you've got 146,000 views on this one just like 24 hours ago And you went over a lot of different things you went over at bitcoin ethereum solana And a lot of things that it was you know, we had a lot of things from van ekk We had some things from uh, I think you put in there some things from from black rock and do uh, galaxy But just real quick Break it down to us as far as like what are those price predictions for for bitcoin For ethereum and for solana and everybody for these videos I'm I'm mentioning I link them in the description so you can watch the full version But I just want to get the down and dirty from from my guy from my guy guy Sure, sure. Uh, yeah, you're right rob price prediction price prediction videos do do very well people love them And uh, yeah, I mean it's it's easy to see why I guess. Um So yeah, I'll give you the quick I'll give you the quick breakdown. So yeah, rather than rather than us You know making a price prediction ourselves ourselves, which is um, you know fraught with uh, danger Um, we decided we thought it would be a good thing to analyze Some of the some of the price predictions that we've seen From some of the big boys if you like some of these, uh, you know, uh, data analytics firms vcs, you know, hedge funds, etc Basically the companies with you know with a lot of skin in the game And obviously the resources to kind of dig into into these price predictions, you know dig into the Into the fundamentals and stuff and come up with a you know an explanation as to why They're predicting these these sorts of prices. So And I think that's the important thing just to bear in mind about the price predictions themselves You know, I think the actual number that they are light on As well as almost certainly being wrong like 99 of price predictions are um The actual number is not as important as the reasoning Behind the number. So that's just you know, that's just something to bear in mind And that's why that's why we felt it would make an interesting video because you know what our Uh galaxy digital was someone we looked at crypto quant um matrix port we also looked at uh stuff that standard chartered said the bank Uh, and then van Eck uh was the one for souls. So we were interested in the reasoning anyhow prices. So, um Galaxy was uh, galaxy's prediction. Uh, if I remember right, you was sort of around 59 k. This is sort of uh after the after the halving and now after um After the approval of the etf Uh, so and that was you know, that was a fairly conservative prediction Um, it was based on the idea that you know, there are trillions of dollars kind of sloshing around Um, you know through various investment products investment managers things like that and galaxy kind of worked off the worked off the idea that you know, uh Sort of a 10 allocation from that what you know what that might look like Over time So the prediction they came up with was 59 k a few months uh after the etf launched Um crypto quants, uh, so a similar time frame. They were looking at between 50 and 73 k These are for bitcoin obviously, right, right? Um And then matrix port were a little more a little more optimistic They were saying um, well between 40 again over the same kind of time frame between 42 and 56 k But uh, they also kind of looked ahead to end of year 2024. So, you know 12 months or so from now um, and their prediction for then was 125 k Yeah, which is yeah, it's a pretty big move from where we are now And standard charted were of a kind of similar opinion. They were also saying end of year 2024 Uh 120 k so kind of same ballpark. I think we'd take either Really wouldn't be yeah, I'll take that so uh, so that's of course looking ahead What about aetherium and solana because I know like one of those from banek was uh The solana one was kind of like what I would do as far as a huge range, but what do we got for eith and soul? Yeah, so eith uh, we're the main one we looked at was uh standard charted again. Um, now they were kind of So their metric was based off of basic, uh, you know adoption of smart contracts Which they think you know smart contract adoption. They consider to be very much in its infancy at the moment You know we're talking, uh, you know a few a few billion dollars But set to climb they think massively over the next few years So their prediction for eith and this is by the end of 2026 So you know a good few years down the line, but their prediction for eith was eight eight k $8,000 by the end of 2026 Okay, uh, which again is you know is is pretty bullish I if I remember rightly from that video, they you know, they did say like it could go It could go a lot higher and I think as they looked into the future. It was it was way way higher Um, but I guess you'll you'll have to watch the video to to to see that because I can't remember um But um, yeah, so again, this was this was based off the idea that uh, ethereum would see continued growth and obviously You know grow growth beyond crypto as it were, you know smart contracts becoming becoming more widely adopted um, you know across you know Across the financial system as it were and beyond So that was their reasoning for an eight k eith by the end of 2026 and yeah, as you say souls Van ex prediction for soul You, um, you really could have you could have parked the cruise liner Yeah in the gaps so They're their case for soul, you know everything, you know, it doesn't uh, solana doesn't take off Presumably continues to be sort of plagued by the problems that it has been in the past Gets overtaken, you know, isn't able to uh take a significant chunk of ethereum's market share Perhaps gets overtaken by you know other competing layer ones of which there are plenty so, um Van ex bear case for soul was 10 dollars Which I think is kind of what it got to um No, in fact, it got to about eight dollars in uh in the wake of the ftx collapse, didn't it? So that really is a bear case Then they had a base case Which was I think a lot more realistic. They're saying um by 2030. This was assuming that solana um Was accounting for 30 percent of all cryptocurrency adoption by that date again Perhaps a little ambitious, but not not out of the question And for that they were saying three hundred and thirty five dollars Which is You know, I think fairly You know fairly conservative by a lot of um, you know by a lot of predictions for soul, but this is by 2030 However, the the sort of headline number and I want to I want to come back to this idea of a headline number um By the uh, this was the bull case obviously and they're saying uh their figure for 2030 in that case They were assuming kind of almost ethereum like levels of adoption by 2030 and they were saying 3200 dollars Uh per soul by then which um again, I think everyone all of us, uh, you know Anyone who owns uh soul or has owned soul in the past would take that in take that in the heartbeat. So Yeah, it's pretty wide somewhere between 10 and 3200 That's a that's a really good assessment. I like that. Um, so Before I move on because we're talking about our lies and things like that, um, you guys have been in in the uh Cryptoverse into the the markets longer than I have How many times have you heard these bitcoin and these price predictions? I mean going all the way back pre 2017 2016. I think guy you were on 2015 How many of those actually, you know came true and how many uh hit the mark It's it's hard to say because they just you know, they just kind of all fade into one, you know Or just a general sort of blizzard of peaking people plucking numbers out of the air Sometimes with you know, sometimes with uh after a lot of consideration sometimes, you know with no consideration at all um But I guess, you know, it's kind of uh Working along the principle of a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day, you know some price But yeah, I can't remember I I'm trying to think back to any any particular that caught my eye and then I sort of looked back and went Oh, they actually called it right. Um but uh Yeah, it's it's I can't remember off the top of my head, but of course there would have been some Yeah, I have to agree. Uh, and I remember ben you even put out this tweet A couple weeks ago, maybe three or four weeks ago about standard charter and uh, they had they had made a price prediction for for bitcoin I think it was like 120k and then they they backtracked and said no It's only gonna be 32k or something like that and they backtracked again now because it's more bullish So everybody just be aware out there that price predictions are great and hoping it was fantastic It keeps us in the market. It keeps us uh going to the next step But uh, just take it with a grain of salt because a lot of these things that I remember they never hit There's this thing called eos eos was supposed to be the next ethereum killer And it was supposed to be the greatest thing of all time and it was going to go to 150 Who knows what it what it was back then and it never materialized and the same thing to be said for Probably 95 of the cryptos that are out there 99 I'd say so just take it with a grain of salt, but let's get into some data, which would be My man ben here. So ben you did a video yesterday. You did two videos last 24 hours or so and uh, one of those was the pre-havings the pre-having year returns are ROI's And uh, it was interesting to see like just how things are comparing between, you know, the cycles and how things are going on and then, of course Right now in 2023 being the pre-having year and I think one up to 2.14 As far as uh year-to-date ROI, which sounds pretty good And then of course you did another bitcoin dominance video Which I gotta tell you These keep getting longer. This one is an hour and 23 minutes. I didn't know you had it in you So at this point, I just tell you, uh, they're all good stuff, but talk to us real quick about Having your ROI because we're going into that May 2024 And how about dominance flowing to all because I still think we're going to go to 60% I think you think that I think guy thinks that as far as bitcoin dominance, but Where do we see the dominance flowing when the alls take over and when does that happen? So the first thing I will say based on the conversation you just had with guy In terms of price predictions not coming true My expectation for this year was that bitcoin would top out at 35 K And clearly clearly here we are it's at it's at almost 38 K. So Yeah, like the price predictions are really hard. Um, I think the easier the easier thing is is to look at Sort of like Trends within the cryptoverse, right like bitcoin dominance trend all to bleeding back to bitcoin trend that sort of thing That's probably the easier thing to get right in the exact level that like bitcoin tops out and the one thing I've continued to get reminded about constantly is don't underestimate You know The the FOMO and and and what that can lead bitcoin to Yeah, I mean in pre-having years You know the average ROI from the last two had been about 2.1 x off the early open So I believe we're we're probably at like 2.3 x or 2.2 x off the early open right now I haven't actually checked but I mean we've gone up a little bit more Um As far as the the bitcoin dominant stuff because that's something I've been very bullish on for a long time You know dominance right now is approaching 54 percent and and you know if you look at at alt bitcoin valuations Specifically like if you look at like the ether bitcoin valuation I think that's the last support that needs to break right? So if you think back to everything that's happened in alt bitcoin valuations over the last year They've been going down Right, which is why I keep saying like you know crypto exposure is is most often limit best That's limited to bitcoin during this phase and I know some alt coins go up. So I'm not I'm not trying to say that that doesn't happen but um The the the shift in the trend of bitcoin dominance normally, you know You would expect it to change sometime in the having year right and the reason for that And I I think it would probably play out again is because we would likely get a shift in monetary policy in the having year To the point where higher higher risk assets like alt coins could start to outperform Lower risk assets like bitcoin, but in bear market years and in um and in pre-having years Bitcoin dominance tends to go higher Regardless of the direction of bitcoin right so in 2022 Bitcoin went down in 2023 bitcoin has mostly just gone up um But bitcoin dominance excluding stable coins has been going up for the last two and a half years so my my my speculation with regards to sort of the the trends in the alt coin market are that um They won't they they probably won't outperform bitcoin collectively right we can always go find a few I'm not I'm not trying to say I mean like you've listed off several that have done very well But collectively, I don't think the alt coin market will start outperforming bitcoin until some time in in 2024 is my guess and it'll likely correspond to a shift in monetary policy Um to uh to lower interest rates, right? So that's sort of what I'm guessing Um, we'll we'll we'll happen and again, I mean in the short term I've clearly underestimated just how high bitcoin can go In the in the in this pre-having year, which is kind of interesting because I underestimated how high it went in 2019 as well I mean, I think a lot of people thought it was going to go to 14k Back then and it's funny because even after that it still sold off 70 or so before the having But that that's where I am right now, right? I mean, I think we're I think we're entering into this like this fomo phase A lot of a lot of money is flowing into bitcoin Even alt coins are are bleeding against bitcoin even though. I know they're up on their usd pairs as well Look at all bitcoin valuations. I mean ether bitcoin is very close to putting in a new yearly low And and so that that's my guess is that all it's continually back to bitcoin Bitcoins in this fomo phase it then finds the top it could be it could be around spot etf approval And after that, you know, I would still speculate although. I know it's not a popular theory But I will speculate that we would today that we would get a secondary scare Before the having and it and it kind of seems like it's setting up for it, right? What happens is there there gets to be all this hype and fomo like, you know Half a year or a year before the having Everyone piles in and then everyone gets wiped out before the having actually occurs. I mean, it's literally happened Every cycle right every single cycle and and in two of those cycles that big drop didn't even occur until The having year, right? So I don't know when it's going to occur I can't promise you that it's going to occur but the general trend of Of alts bleeding back to bitcoin remains intact and normally what you look for is after alts have been broken down on their bitcoin pairs You then wait for bitcoin to get that that final drop It could be sort of like a drop into The recession right if we get a recession next year and then that's where altcoins finally start to outperform bitcoin Excellent excellent points. And I gotta tell you guys before we move on Thank you guys for being consistent I think everybody here on this panel has pretty much said where they think things are gonna go and they've stuck to their plan Whatever that plan is, you know, ben. I know that that you've been I think you've been you know getting into some some bitcoin here and there and not alts But you haven't sold and then guy I don't think you've really bought in too much things at all But you haven't sold as well. I think those types of things is what's going to You know propel everybody To take a look at that and say wow, I think in the next evolution. Maybe things go pretty well So again, thanks for being consistent because it's a breath of fresh air in this market So that would take care of the alts l and one more thing before we go on Uh I was even more bearish than ben. I believe that that ben was wrong.  I thought I was gonna go to 12k And I said that numerous times and I also said that I believe that we're gonna hit a recession at the end of q Well in q4 of 2023 and now like like now. I said, maybe it's gonna go longer. So I don't know We could be entering and do a recession and in right now. I mean certainly I mean markets Markets typically rally into a recession right the bond market bottoms out Um, the long the yield curve Goes down Yeah, and lower rates lead to risk assets going higher in the short term until they realize why rates are going down And then and then we sell off in a recession, right? There's the unemployment rate is, you know, is it 3.9 percent? I mean, look, there's there's a chance that you're that there we are in the beginning phases of a recession But we won't know it until you know another half a year from now Yeah, yeah Well good news is we all got time. All right So let's so let's finish up with this this last question for both of everybody Is that we all know they were pros But uh, what's the narrative that you think is going to come roaring back for the next crypto tourists like, uh, ben's neighbor And uh, the people that randomly text us What do you think they're gonna fall victim to is it going to be like, you know, I'll I'll trust these centralized exchanges Or is it, you know, I can do loans or you know, it's uh, you know this one Because it's a meme coin will probably a thousand X. So I'm gonna get into it heavy What's the thing that's going to destroy the next tourists? And I'll leave it up for either guy Sure There's a there's a few that spring to mind. I mean, I think yeah, I think I think people new to the space will will will make a lot of the old mistakes Um, that so many of us have made, you know, things like leaving leaving your crypto on exchanges, etc Um, putting too much trust in in centralized entities So, you know, that means we just we just have to keep banging that drum as loudly as we can banging the self custody drum as loud as we can and The two that the two that spring to mind to me that seem to be sort of like, you know undead I think they always manage to rise up Um, two particular Two particular narratives one is that, you know, uh, some project will come along probably a number of projects will come along um claiming to be the next bitcoin and You know new New investors people new participants in the market will look at bitcoin and go. Wow. I can't afford 70 000 120 000 a coin. That's crazy.  But which is many many hundreds of a cent Now that I can get on board with And so I think, you know, that narrative is that narrative is strong because it just plays on, you know, it plays on pure FOMO, which is an enormously Powerful impulse. So I think we'll see that the other one that springs to mind and always seems to come along is I'm I'm sure some Crapcoin will come along And promise promise to revolutionize the adult entertainment industry That seems to be that seems to be a popular narrative.  Um, I've seen many projects like that Come and go and uh, I don't I don't imagine we've seen the last of them I can I could agree and as you said that Tepe will make the millionaires. So Ben, what do you got since again, you've been around a lot and I have What's what's the uh, what are they gonna fall victim to? I would say two things. First of all, um, This whole spotty tf stuff is it has certainly been bullish for bitcoin um But it sort of seems like every single cycle people forget like not your keys not your crypto Right they forget that and I I find a lot of the people who were preaching it last year The only thing they can talk about this year is is when's the spotty tf going to be approved? And I'm like, well last year you were very adamant not your keys not your bitcoin And now you very much want to pay a fee to black rock to hold your bitcoin for you And you don't actually have custody of it. So I'm like, which is it? You know, do you actually and this is the this is why I feel like most people here are not in it for the tech They're in it to make money, right? Like that's the But but I could see that becoming an issue where we have to everyone figures out the hard way once again Not your keys not your crypto and someone said like well, you know, you can trust black rock I responded someone's what I'm like, yeah black rock always has That's a good one You can trust black rock because like you can trust will as far when the government sounds like a plan But but it's not even like it's not like I would expect any of these places to do anything nefarious But you know, like what happens if if if there's just some event where Let's say the government or something intervene or gets involved or something and and Who knows what could happen? I mean like look what happened last year with With all the with all the funds that that basically went belly up It's not it's not impossible For stuff like that to happen again So look The the spotty tf stuff is of course right like it's bringing more money into the space, but Yeah, it also it also sort of is against the whole thing that we learned last year of not your keys Not your bitcoin So imagine if if everyone sort of piles into the spotty tf and then at some point They they try to sell and and there's something that goes wrong, right? That that's one thing and then the other thing is and I I'm probably getting in trouble for this but um It normally so the The alt season stuff that everyone's hoping for and again like a lot of alt coins are up a lot But if you think about what 2021 was like it was basically like up for a year straight, right? Like alt coins just went up for like a year straight But the the the thing to look for Is that in 2021 bitcoin had put in a new high before all that happened, right? In 2017 bitcoin put in a new high before these alt coins went up You know like 50x 100x right in 2019 When alt coins were doing stuff similar to what they're doing today Bitcoin it was a lower high right bitcoin did not take out the prior high and that was also in the pre-having year So a lot of people what they did was they loaded up into the alt coin market after bitcoin Sort of topped out in the summer thinking that the alt coin market would then explode Afterwards because normally it does after bitcoin goes on a rally But then alt coins just sold off and the bitcoin dominance kept going higher, right? so I think you know my The thing I would say is that if it plays out like 2019 Then and it doesn't put in a higher high Then I still think the dominance of bitcoin will go up and then people are going to be scratching their heads like How can alt coins keep bleeding back to bitcoin? So that's that's another thing and again, I could be wrong about that. I mean if if I'm wrong So be I will just add it to the long list, right? That is that is something that I would I would at least mention but So, okay So that's a lot of a lot of things to get in there and then everybody as you're sitting around just put your questions below We'll do a little q&a This would actually be a good a kind of a good segue because like what you talked about with black rock and guy Even you've been coming along this on your channel as well Extensively which is great Which is when black rock comes in of course everybody's like talking about how great it is and and I think some of the older The bitcoin. Oh, jeez is like why are we so excited about this because I mean yeah It's good for it's good with the space and the price But look what's going to potentially do to us and especially if they're going to talk about you know Not your keys, not your crypto and those type of things We there was a video that we did as a matter of fact and this was michael sailor and he was on ms NBC and he said the exact same thing But he said something in reverse and he said look he goes banks are coming in And and they're going to custody bitcoin for us for the for the investors And people were we're divided, but when I took a look at it I go There's two ways to look at it. I always thought There's a way that it's at it should be and there's a way that it's going to be And the way that it should be is we all should take care of our our cold throw devices and have on demonic phrases And learn that aspect because sweet mary joseph if you can if you can Custody your passport and your birth certificate not lose that for many many years. I think you do the same thing That's the way that it should be how it's going to be is how we're going to get these these people in who are the tourists They're like Well as far as you can do that for me. I trust jp morgan cool And that's how it's going to be until they learn and you get the price of bitcoin that you deserve Uh guy anything to add to that before we get into uh the q&a No, I I think it's beautifully put rob. Yeah, it's bitcoin is You know bitcoin part of part of bitcoin's appeal Is that it is one of one of the only assets that you can easily Take custody of yourself and no one can take it from you Yeah, um that you know that is not the case with almost everything else Like you know, sure, okay, you could keep gold under your under your floorboards or under your mattress or anything like that But you know, can you move around with it? Can you take it with you wherever you go? No, that is and and that's one of the most amazing things about bitcoin You could have you could have billions of dollars, you know, michael sailor could put his entire gigantic net worth onto one, you know treasurer device that size And take it with him wherever he you know wherever he goes and I I think that's kind of you know miraculous in a way You can't do that with any other asset um And yeah, if people just if people hand it over to to jp morgan or to blackrock then Then it isn't theirs. They have an they have an iou From those entities saying yeah, yeah, you just you just let us know when you want it back and it's all yours And that's fine Until it isn't until it isn't exactly everything's cool until it's not all right everybody so that So thank you gentlemen for for those responses. I appreciate you Now we'll get into a little q&a and we'll go from there if you got to take off That's uh, we'll conclude the part of the our session now Let's jump in a little q&a and see what we got from the crowd And go there philips got a good question Isn't this just the false start as there's no liquidity in the market? I guess that would be taking a look at the volume and I know, you know We all talk about this, you know money supply and and uh and what's being flown in or what's being put in What do you guys think about as far as like the liquidity itself? Is there enough volume to say this is a reasonable one or is this going to be like a little bit of a bull travel? I'm not for sure here. I mean I like I'm I'm still sticking with Like this rally the purpose is to is to just rotate capital from alts to bitcoin. That's that's my story and I'm sticking to it Yes, there is some new liquidity of course because total market cap has gone higher Uh than it was back in april and july But you know, I I still think that at some point There's going to be a phase where you know, like we the the labor market starts to show weakness and then the fed will Will start to print again And then we'll get that real liquidity That that can can lead to sort of the the 2021 type mania, but I don't I don't think we're At that phase, um, you know 2019 was a crazy year for bitcoin, right? It went up how much like almost four x Yeah a year Yeah, it was a huge move, right? It was a huge move and then it still basically went back down So, yeah, I I don't know. I mean it's it's a it's a good question But my my guess is it's mostly a rotation of capital Um and there I mean, of course there is some new money coming in considering total market caps now almost 1.4 trillion That's true Guy same thing or anything? Yeah, I think the only thing I'd add, you know, this is kind of this I've seen some good tweets over the last few days That's like this is this is the start. This is the warm-up act, you know Um, this is the support band before, you know before the big guys come on stage And that's kind of what's exciting about it at the moment, you know, it's great to see It's great to see prices prices going up It's great to see new liquidity coming into the market But I think we are quite away from serious liquidity coming into the market from conditions really changing And you know, that's what's kind of so cool about it. It's like we're just we're just kind of getting started I think there'll be there'll be bumps along the way. It's not going to be smooth sailing I don't think it's going to be, you know, up only from here But you know, we have we've we've started that journey and that's really cool. But yeah, there's there's a lot more to come Yeah, I got it. Yeah, I think there's a lot more to come And I I'm just happy for the people who got in 2021 and bought the top and they stuck around You're gonna be rewarded. I know if you think like this is fun Just wait until next year or whenever the next blow off top is you've you really haven't seen anything yet Ryan says Ben's beard remains bearish that could be true and then Rob says this is a good question. Why is it good to stick to your guns if you're wrong? Shouldn't you adjust over time? I'll take this one real quick it's um So The thing is like like with me. I always take a look at my mistakes I didn't made in the past and one of the big mistakes I make was was not selling enough in the last in last market I had a plan. I did not stick to that plan. I should have stuck to the plan But everything changes from day to day. There's so much data. There's so much information being put out there that unless you're like Unless it's a massive catastrophe where you're like, I sold my kidneys and I put it in a pepe coin Maybe that's in that situation. But when everything is in is bearish and it's just been boring Which we we've lived through the last year or so and you've come up with a plan. You say this is where I where I'm at I'm most sane at this point Just stick to that plan. I can't tell you what to do about a financial advisor, but it kind of works out Over time things tend to work out. Here's the thing with me. I've been dollar cost averaging since 2022 And uh in the beginning didn't work out now. It's starting to work out But I'm still underwater on some of these alts Is that horrible? No in the long run. It'll be okay with you know with ben and guy and what they're doing They're in and they're in an asset class that of course they're going to outperform vastly everything else that's out there So it doesn't really matter what and I know that they've got tons of cash in the sidelines They're just waiting.  I think that that's what it is. That's my my two cents gentlemen. What do you guys have for that one? I think you mean is they have two sats. Yes, exactly my two sats Very nice nice We've got to use the correct lingo here Rob. This is crypto because no no mercy if you don't speak the speak the language Yeah, you know, I think it's I always I always think back to that Is it Mike Tyson quote, you know, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth Yes, um And it can be it can be difficult, you know, I kind of feel I kind of feel that fomo is the biggest punch in the mouth out there You know, it's sort of you watch You know, you watch things go in a different way and you you think oh I've missed it or whatever And sometimes you will but I think I think long term It it generally it generally works out pretty well and you know a good plan should be able to survive A fair few punches in the mouth I gotta agree Someone wants to know when you're gonna upload a video about uh about the fed or drone Powell And I I can tell you that guy does some pretty good in-depth stuff But I don't always have time to listen to guy So what I do is I cheat and I and I uh, I follow ben on twitter And he just paraphrases everything that drone Powell says I just read it real quick. I'm like, okay That's what it was but guy you guys gonna put a fed video out anytime soon I think we'll do another one. Yeah, we didn't really cover the last the last meeting because I think you know It was pretty obvious they were gonna pause um and or or skip or whatever it is they're calling it um and uh, yeah ben's rugged us by uh by by tweeting out much more succinctly So um, but no we we will cover them again. I'm sure Maybe when uh, I think there's one more this year, isn't that? I think so, um There's no in December. Thank you. Uh, yeah in the summer last question and then we'll get out of here Andrew's sitting on $50,000 Are we gonna see a massive retracement? I guess I have the big question the way you do with that Now this is your 50,000 not andrew's 50,000 What would you guys do with it because you can't we can't tell andrew what to do Hmm Wow, okay, what would I do with 50k ready to enter but one are we gonna see a massive retracement? I mean I think we can I I think we can certainly see a correction from here. That's that's realistic Whether whether a retracement. I mean, I was you know, I was pretty bearish as well I was kind of until until pretty recently. I thought yeah, we could we you know, especially with a black swan We certainly could go back to You know, maybe not 20k itself, but that kind of you know, those low those low 20s I'm starting to think now that I think I think these level I think certainly this level above 30k is looking kind of stronger and stronger with each passing day So although we could see a correction. I don't see a massive retracement that said I'm fully prepared to be absolutely wrong and I would I would be quite happy to see a massive retracement Because you know, I would I would certainly be looking to deploy then um But Yeah, I I think I think probably in that situation I would be I would be looking to to allocate perhaps a little bit now Um, but I think probably only to you know only to sort of top performers along the lines of of btc And and perhaps eith, you know with eith being kind of as as ben has pointed out with eith being weak against btc that could present, you know, perhaps the You know the better opportunity at this point in time um But it is a tricky one and and moments like this in the market are really tricky because you've got you've got a lot of FOMO you you kind of want it to retrace a bit so as you can, you know So as you don't feel you've you've kind of completely missed the boat Um, but of course no one no one really knows from here, but uh, certainly I don't think like a massive correction I think a massive correction is looking more. I'm more and more unlikely. All right. If that's all used That's good. I'll take that uh, and then ben will finish off with you. What do you think you're 50k? Yeah, well, I mean sort of the questions like this or you know, it sort of reminds me of sort of the fomo phase, right? where it sort of comes in the end of the year and um But with regards to eith if it if it is going to turn around on its bitcoin pair It normally doesn't do so until like mid december or january So I would I would still expect it to likely bleed against bitcoin for at least another month or so Um, if it's still holding these levels in a month Then then maybe it could get a bounce if it's not holding these levels in a month It's probably more likely to get a bounce like if it goes down to like, you know 0.04 or something it'd be more likely to you know, perhaps get a bounce but You know, look, I know it's not a popular view. Um, but I you know, when you look at At all these prior Like business cycles, right? If you look at all the prior business cycles You look at at year or you look at, you know, like the s and p You can't look at bitcoin because it hasn't existed through a full business cycle, right? Like we just haven't we haven't had it. Yeah, but if you look at everything else like the s and p What what normally happens as I said earlier is that is that bonds bottom Yields go up or sorry yields go down long and goes down risk assets in the short term go up because Because it's less pressure on risk assets when those yields go back down But then a few months later The market realizes why yields are going down and it's because we are in a recession We had a recession in 2020. We had a recession scare in 2016 I don't know that it was a pandemic in 2020 But guess what there were a lot so many articles out in 2019 saying yield curve inversion means recession next year And everyone was like no this time is different You go back and look at at all the prior business cycles 2000 2007 Q gd real gdp in q3 2007 was 4.9 percent, which is exactly what it was in q3 2023 So like I again like the further we go up like the more the easier it is of course to make fun of that view Like I'm I'm aware of that My my strategy as I've said is just I'm hedged with bitcoin I'm not hedged with the altcoin market because I think dominance is going higher. So that's what I would say is, you know, I think it's okay Having dcaing bitcoin tends to work out over a long enough time period The altcoin market is is hit or miss and the the success there I think is based on survivorship bias on some of the few altcoins that have that that do well You know, there's a lot of altcoins that I could point to right now that at this point Are just putting in a lower high right like a lot of them are are are still nowhere near where they were even at back in April right and bitcoin is is is well above that so My you know, my view is that there will be retracements I look back at every cycle prehaving and there was always a 40 to 50 drop So I would still think that's a likely outcome and even more so a likely outcome giving all this Given all this fomo that it seems like is is occurring, right? I mean, that's what normally happens. Everyone fomos in and then And then the market drops just before the having so that's my guess But I would also I would also wager to think that it's sentiment like this Which you know sort of helps confirm that it seems like we're entering in sort of this fomo phase Yeah, and I got to tell you so I'll just finish up with this great questions everybody Uh, I will just say that I hope you guys are right. I hope there's a huge retracement I hope we do drop because uh, I'll continue to keep doing my plan Which is dollar cost average and then I'll see you guys in 2025 as I dump on everybody. All right So that's it for today. Everybody if you would be so kind, uh, check out A guy over at coin beer and coin beer eclipse links in the description Especially that price prediction video ben had a great one pre having your returns and of course You have a popular bitcoin dominance And that is it for today. So gents. I want to say thanks so much. That's it for today See you guys in the next one. Adios. See you Thanks, everyone. See you soon
