What's the worry y'all? It is so weird to say it loud, but we might have seen the last minutes of Zach Levine as a Chicago Bull. As somebody that has watched him and rooted for him for the last six and a half seasons, I have conflicting feelings about this. Now, trade has not officially gone down. I don't want the people that's not in there know what they think that Zach Levine got traded, but injury updates, Zach Levine will require an additional estimated three to four weeks to treat his current right foot inflammation. Now, I'm not here to act like I think that Zach Levine doesn't have foot problems. Actually, the last game we did see of him against the Boston Celtics, he left early because his foot, I'm not saying that he's not dealing with anything, but it is a little bit interesting that this got reported 30 minutes after the Bulls won their third straight game. It feels like no coincidence that two weeks before this, Zach Levine and the Bulls had mutually thought that it was okay for them to kinda look at the trade market. So the team is rolling without him. He is a little bit disgruntled. It just makes sense to tell him chill until we get it, get you a trade without saying that publicly. I think the real talent thing will be like during this three to four week span, will he be traveling with the team? Will he be on the bench? Cause that would, I think that would tell a lot. A lot of times, obviously if somebody's about to get traded or they're dealing with a high level injury, they're not there specifically on the road and stuff. So we'll see. I mean, he has been there for the last couple of games. He's actually looked like he's been engaged on the bench as the team has been rolling. So I'm not saying he's out here rooting for the downfall of his teammates or anything, but considering where the Bulls are as an organization and where Zach Levine is as a player, I think that the Zach Levine era is over. And it just, it feels weird, man, because the Zach Levine era for his doing or not has been unsuccessful. You gotta think about it. He was one of the main trade pieces of the ultimate trade that set us back, right? We trade away Jimmy Butler with the idea of a rebuild. We get back Larry Martin and Chris Dunn and Zach Levine. So he was here year one of our rebuild and he's been here ever since then. The team as an organization has done a very poor job of putting together competent teams around him, with him being incorporated or whatever. Will the real life good portion of Zach Levine as a Chicago Bull is really like a six month span or four month span two years ago when it was him, Lonzo Ball. I ain't gotta tell you how good that team was, but the man sat here for six and a half years and basically he had one real winning season. I'm saying free Zach Levine from the situation because I think he can provide stuff for a team that can use his service. Before we dive even more into it, I wanna let you know that as of right now in this second, this new enjoy basketball drop is live. These hats, these t-shirts, we got hoodies. Very limited, the link is in the description. Now we have sold out of every single enjoy basketball drop that we've had so far. So I wanna say I appreciate y'all even before this goes live because it's been a whirlwind to come up with these designs. This is my favorite design we've done and I know I say that every single time, but that just means that we're getting better with time with our design team and everything. This gives the basketball feel as you see at the bottom says for the basketball enthusiasts around the world. This hat can go with anything as a neutral black. I don't even say enjoy basketball. Maybe you just wanna enjoy everything. That hat is the way to go. We got like models and stuff. Isn't that crazy? We got like, I'm funding model photo shoots. This is the front of the hoodie. You've seen me wear it in a couple of videos before. Three pieces, very limited, links is in the description. It's also cool because we were shooting like commercials and stuff. Like, come on man, we're shooting commercials and stuff. This could be you playing basketball on a wet floor in Brooklyn. This could be you. Anyway, let's get back to the Zach Levine talk because last week I had this conspiracy that I talked about on my podcast. Speaking of my podcast, it is the Kenny Beecham podcast. We just dropped a new episode today. We ranked the top 10 future teams in the NBA. I'm just gonna say that. Link is in the description to that as well. But on through the wire, what I said in this is that I believe that first the Chicago Bulls were trying to figure out what the team could potentially look like without Zach Levine. Because all of the rumors, whether it be from Wolds or other people are saying that hey, the market for Zach Levine is not as robust as you might think. That if they trade Zach Levine, they're probably getting back something in exchange that's not necessarily equal to his actual talent. Teams aren't looking. It's a big old contract. And people are questioning whether or not Zach Levine is a winning player. So boom, let's sit down. Let's see how good we can potentially look without Zach. And currently they're on a three game win streak. Now, some of those is like we went against the Hornets without Lamello, Mark Williams and stuff. We went against the Bucks, which I thought was a quality win. And then we went against the Pelicans on the second night of a back to back without Caesar McCullum, without Trey Murphy the third. I'm not acting like this three game win streak. It's like, oh my God, they're coming to Bulls, but a three game win streak nonetheless. Two of the three games we played, some of our best basketball, we had the most amount of assists in a singular game for the season at like 32. The ball was zipping, people are locking in defensively. It is the best three game stretch of the entire Bull season so far. So boom, if we trade Zach Levine for nothing, this team at least looks competent enough to be competitive. And that was something that we wasn't doing with Zach. But also I think about it like this. Zach Levine, again, almost officially requested to try. I say almost because his representation to come out and say that the report was that the Bulls and him mutually agreed to look different ways, whatever, whatever. Part of it is like, yeah, Zach is dealing with this foot injury, but we'd rather keep him away from playing to a further the injury for him to be traded. But we also might have somewhat of a slight verbal agreement with a trade dealing around Zach Levine already. The problem is that people can't really get traded until December 15th and January 15th. So right now as you, if you look at that you're watching your clocks and your calendars, we are really, really close to December 15th. Now, if you look at these three to four weeks, it puts us eerily close to January 15th. And that is significant because I'll run it back and Sharm said, said this. Yeah, Michelle, Zach Levine, not good for the Bulls, not good for Zach Levine. He will be out another three to four weeks that he's got to treat right foot inflammation. So he's going to be ending up missing a total of at least four to five weeks with this injury. Ironically, this takes the Bulls and Zach Levine right up to January, that mid-January. Sharm's going to be the one to say that it probably is playing this way. He said ironically, I don't know if it's ironic. January 15 date when all the free agents will be eligible to be traded from last summer. So when you think about teams like the Lakers, Daniel Russell, Rui Hachimer, or those two guys will both be trade eligible come January 15th. And we know what this has been, the Lakers six. All right, we ain't got to get the rest. I do not believe that the Lakers should be trading for Zach Levine if it means Rui Hachimer and Daniel Russell. That's just my two cents. As a fan of the Bulls, I don't mind it, I guess. Like I think that as Bulls fans we have to come to the realization that whatever trade goes down, we're not going to walk away and be like, yes, we won. But getting competent role players would probably help. For the Lakers, it would be kind of like going back in the opposite direction like the year that they traded for Russell Westbrook. He's like, hey, here's a big name. Who was an all-star one-point? Let's trade away the depth that we have in order to get them. I just don't know if that's the recipe for the Lakers. I do believe there's a lot left in the tank for Zach. Like the people that question whether or not he can contribute to winning, I think it's just a little bit unfair because he's never been on a team that's been worthy enough to win anything. Right, so if you look at all, he only has five playoff games play. Okay, look at the rosters he played for. Before he was in Chicago, he's in Minnesota in the middle of their rebuild. And then he got to Chicago at the beginning of the rebuild and they were awful. Like he really only has a handful of playoff games because the Bulls just haven't been able to build a good roster. You know what I'm saying? They also had to usher him in as the one option, two option when in reality, he's probably better off as a 2.5 slash three option. Now the question is, do you want to pay somebody $40 million annually to be your 3.5 three option? Probably not. So that's what I'm saying. I don't think the trademark is going to be crazy, but when Wode said that there's no trademark, I was like, that's a less cap, you know? These same questions that people have about Zach Levain we've seen about other players and those other players ended up going to better scenarios, better organizations and say, boom, I'm here. Andrew Wiggins is a good example of this, right? Before he ended up with the goal to say worry. He's like, oh, this guy can put up a lot of points, but he don't defend, he don't rebound, he don't pass. Like is he ever going to be more than just a guy that get his own stats then he ended up with the goal to stay warriors and they empowered him to be more than that. And he was an all-star starter, you know? I think Zach Levain can be something like that. Like he's already made an all-star game, y'all. You know what I mean? I feel like we put him in a scenario where he is empowered to be the best version of himself and he buys in to be in the best version of himself. Those questions of, can he win? Is he a winner? Would just be gone.  Like the people that you would expect to maybe want to be interested, you're like, they're not trading this piece, this piece. And then the teams that have like dead pieces as far as bad contracts, empty contracts, whatever, why would they be buying? Like here are all 30 teams in the NBA, right? We gonna go yes or no if they should even be picking up the phone. No, no, probably not close to no because they're playing well again. They lost two in a row, but Orlando could use the most scoring, but I don't think they're out there trying to pay him $40 million, you know what I'm saying? 76 is still a question mark. Now there is some rumors around that, basically flipping what they got for Harden to get Zach Levine. I don't like to fit too much. The Knicks have already said they're not really interested. The Pacers know that he is a question mark as well. They already have Tyler Hero on the team, though he's not playing right now. It feels like overlapping talent. So maybe not. The Cavs know, Brooklyn Nets, I don't know what's against the Brooklyn Nets. I'm gonna say no, but you know what I'm saying? And then these rest of these teams, Atlanta Hawks know, Raptors, maybe, maybe we don't know what Massa is thinking. They could use some shooting, some scoring, but then again, Pascal Siaka might be getting moved too. So I don't really know. Charlotte, like a Gordon Haver flip will be interesting, but like, why would they do that right now? Washington know, Detroit is the most interesting one.  They have to make a decision. They have to do something for the fan base. 18 straight losses. I mean, they've won a total of zero point. This is their win percentage. Like what? Hello? Anyway, then on the West, the West of confiscates like Minnesota know, okay, C know Denver know Dallas know LA, I guess maybe Sacramento probably not. Cause they need more defensive oriented pieces versus offensive oriented pieces. Sons know Pelicans know Clippers know Rockets know, like, where's this man gonna get traded? I don't know, but he will get traded. It might be a left field team. I don't really know. You let me know in the conversation. Do you believe that we've seen our last Zach Levin games of God go? Cause that's what I think. Again, enjoy basketball drop is live. The newest episode of Kenny beats and podcast is also live. And then we dropped the video earlier this morning where I want to try to put together these morning recaps of the previous night. You let me know what you think. I went over all 11 games from yesterday, highlights, funny moments, whatever, whatever. And the goal is to drop those semi-regularly but specifically in the morning for y'all that's going on y'all commutes to work or going off to school and you want to catch up on what happened in the league. So that also dropped in this channel. Just go take a look. If it ain't for you, it ain't for you. That's fine. Let me know.

Joining us now is the head coach of the Mustangs, Coach Paul Cantabena joins us high top Mustangs Stadium. Coach, I'll begin with the final minute of regulation. You had the ball leading by one. Can you take me through what you wanted and your reaction to the decision to shoot the ball there? Well, I think we got everything we wanted. I think we did a great job with the extra man, and then we were killing the time, and Ethan just made a poor choice.  He's a sophomore. He's a tremendous player. And he put us in the position to win the game. He made a mistake. He's going to learn from it. You take those shots. Everybody knows you take those shots in that position. You better make it. And he didn't. And we didn't want him to shoot it. I was waiting for a time out there. I thought he was going to kind of pull it. Wasn't ready for him to shoot it, but he's a great kid. He's crying in there. It's a tough way. And he wanted us to win. And so as everybody did in the locker room, and we put our position itself in a great position. And unfortunately, mistakes happen. And that's the game of lacrosse. And they capitalized it and got there. And they made a tough play in the end. They had a ground ball. They made a tough play. The kid inside stuck a shot that probably nobody's saving. So it's just what it is. Yeah, I think without a doubt, defensively, you guys played great tonight. I just want to talk a little bit about how the defense kind of rallied around losing to your best players and really standing strong in front of Sam tonight. Yeah, well, there are two great defense out there. Gettysburg has a tremendous defense, as they've shown. And they did a great job. And I think our defense did a young buck stepping up, doing a really, really good job in there. A lot of new kids playing for the first time. And they showed they can play. They did some really good things. Sam, he's just getting better. Both goalies are outstanding. Brady was great. He had 14, 13 saves, and Sam had 14. So both of them made the head-standing saves. They were great. Both were great. But we just got to keep getting better. As I told our guys in the locker room, we're really proud of them. We got to keep got so much better from week one to week two. Now we got to get better from week two to week three. And I think we are. I think we know how to play. We know what we're doing. We're getting the shots that we want. We're playing the style that we want to think for us to be successful. And we just came up a little short. We played two great teams. We played Denison, who's excellent. We played Gettysburg, who's excellent. We played five. Now we're playing four. Then we played four. Then we're playing five. Now get to play three. That's the way it is. We'll be excited. It'll be a great atmosphere. But you can't, two weeks in a row, no better atmosphere on the cross than right here in Mustang Beach. It's been fun. Coach, is there a way to define what's the difference? You've been in these games. I mean, these are games that were decided in the final seconds, both weeks. Is there a way to define what's the difference between being in these games and then how you need to finish them moving forward? Well, you got to know. They got a lot of guys that have played, you know, one and seven have played a lot of lacrosse for them and 30.  But to win these games, you know, you got to be able to, you can't be afraid of the moment.  And we've had a lot of guys that weren't that, but these are young guys. If you look at a roster, we've only had like seven or eight guys that played a lot for us. And we got a lot of new guys and they're good, but they just haven't been in those positions before. When you get put in those positions, you get better and better and better. Ethan hasn't been in that position a lot. Now, it was really the first time the game kind of was balancing on his stick a little bit. And he kind of thought he had it. You know, we live with him, he's a great kid. We're going to get better. Should he not have shot it? I think we all know what he should have done. But he'll get better and we're not going to, we're not going to, we're going to work at it. We're not going to hold it against him. And he's the reason we were put in position. And we just keep, you just keep getting better. You get players put in that position, you get better and better at it. And, you know, two weeks in a row, we've been in two positions to win games and came up a little short.  We got a high character locker room, kids that want to win, a lot of tears flowing right now. But I think the tears are great. That's what makes you, that's a show in that you're kids care and you're getting better. And that's what's great about a locker room right now. Coach, I have to apologize. There's a blinding light in the way. I don't even know who you brought up. It's the sun. It's obviously the sun. Wow. I figured that might have been the one that you would bring up tonight. Coach, I know this was tough, but I appreciate you coming up and chatting with us. Best of luck next Saturday at Salisbury. Thank you very much. Here's Coach Paul Cantabene joining us here in the All Access Post Game Show.


Hello friends and thank you for hanging out. Let's stay here on the mark report on Cointelegraph. I'm your host Benton and we are joined by a resident experts Jordan Finnesseth, Marcel Peckman and Sam Borgie. Jordan uses his background in psychology and human behavior to spot emerging trends and crypto. Sam Borgie is a business editor at Cointelegraph where he brings a decade of experience in economic analysis and financial market writing. Marcel Peckman applies his 17 years of experience trading derivatives, options and futures to the crypto derivatives markets. Fellas, little bounce, little stability, we're hovering around 20k now for about a week now feels good. But are we going to wake up to a rough nightmare? What is going on this week? Jordan, I'm going to start things off with you. How are you feeling? What is happening this week in the markets? I'm feeling good after coming back from a vacation. I know the markets are kind of stagnant down the lower like a month ago, we're like, yeah, it's hovering around 30,000. We're gonna hold here now. Like, yeah, it's hovering around 20,000. We're gonna hold here. Like, let's hope we don't go like, yeah, or holding around 10,000. We'll see. I don't think it's gonna go that low, but it's not looking very fun out there right now. And Sam, what's going on this week, man? How are we feeling? Well, at 20,000, I can't feel good. Can I? I'm not quite sure this level holds. If you would have told me six months ago, whether it hits 20,000, I would have been very skeptical of that. But now it seems like we have another leg lower before the inevitable bottom. So I guess we'll find out we'll find out soon enough how that's going to play out. In Marcel, I know you have some thoughts today that we're going to be diving into what's going on this week, man. Yeah, Benton, I kind of agree with with both of them. Like, like, yeah, every time we say, yeah, 40,000 is the ultimate bottom. 30,000 the ultimate bottom 20,000. So how is this going to end? We don't know the truth is no one knows because there's too many unknown unknowns. And that's precisely what we need for a rally. Because if some by a miracle, Apple or Microsoft announces tomorrow, one billion investment in Bitcoin, the game changes. So that's precisely why we should be continue to invest and buy every month, because we don't know what's going to happen. And if you did know what happens, then I, you know, you may not be sitting here listening to the show. But today, we want to welcome everyone that's been tuning in from around the globe. We see Catherine Rhodes is back from LA glad to have here, Ahmed Vikram, Adrian always glad to have the crowd watching today's show. I know we got an excitement news articles that we're going to dive into a lot of interesting stuff. We had hacks out there, we have a few experts kind of talking about some bull, some bull whip effects happening in the market, we're going to dive in some macro things.

Tell us your favorite meme folks while you're watching this day at home. Tell us your favorite meme. How come such a lovely lady is sitting here all alone? Do you want to know more about my new NFC question? Yeah. Telegram and Twitter bots. Yeah, they're always some nice ladies from Italy or whatever. Yeah. Classic. Alright, well done, Adrian. Thanks for scrounging up the old memes from across the Twitter sphere this week. We're gonna be giving away $150 voucher towards the coin telegraph store today. So make sure you drop your handle in the chat and you can get swag the CT swag. It's all over the place in our store. We got hoodies, hats, coffee monk shirts. You name it. It's gonna be in there. First, let's get into our market news this week. I know get a lot to dive into the Celsius fallout is still happening. We have tether fud. Community's gonna react to Gary Gensler's interview yesterday at CNBC. So let's go ahead and jump into our market news for this week. Alright guys, first on deck here is the crypto community confused as Celsius continues with weekly rewards.  Is that just putting salt in the wound? I want to start with Jordan. I want to hear your take of the whole Celsius fallout so far and where you think this could potentially head next? Well, it might be a move to just kind of limit the amount of freaking out that people do like if that's still coming in, they're kind of like giving the the signal that we're still solvent. We're okay. Everything's fine. This is just a brief pause. Things will get back to normal in a little while. But like, yeah, we got bankruptcy talks and all this stuff. I don't know, like, this is this is all making me really think about like even just the greater financial system and the repo whole the whole repo thing going on with the government, like, we don't have the crypto obviously doesn't have the funding to stay solvent when these kinds of things happen. But this was a happening in the larger economy with big banks and institutions, all the way back at the beginning of COVID. So I think we're just kind of seeing the whole collapse of a lot of the economic system as we knew it, it's gonna have to be restructured. And unfortunately, for us crypto folks, it's really hitting us hard. And the whole Bitcoin is an inflation hedge thing ain't really working for us right now. Hopefully that that that reverses in a little while. But yeah, these different large entities collapsing, kind of a symptom of the bigger problem with our whole economy, in my opinion. In something I want to quickly highlight here in this article is that, according to Celsius website, which is currently undergoing revamped liquidity issues, the company is still advertising percentage yields AP wise up to 18.6% on crypto deposits, which many have argued is unsustainable. Is this like, is this a dilemma? I'm going to kick this over to Sam. Why are they still marketing this stuff? If they could potentially be insolvent? I have no idea. I have no idea what's going on there. But it really reminds me of, of why I never got got involved in any of the Celsius or the block fi. I'm not I'm not criticizing those who have I'm just saying that we're investing in an exponential market that can gain 1000s of percent over over the span of a few years. Yet, we want to go for that 5% yield by giving up our assets in the process. So for me, the risk reward never really made much sense. But you know, the I think a lot of this really stems back to the Terra ecosystem collapse and everyone who was exposed to that, even three arrows capital had some massive exposure to Terra. And I think you're starting to see the ripple effects. And with Celsius potentially going under, again, that's going to have wider consequences. And I was concerned about block five before we heard the news of a potential loan. And now you have Morgan Creek Digital, I think, wanting to pursue a takeover there or at least want to revise the terms of what FTX offered them. So it's a complete mess. And I think that it's going to get probably a somewhat worse moving forward as the fallout continues. I wouldn't touch these that I wouldn't touch these protocols with a 10 foot pole. Not your keys, not your Bitcoin, hold spot and you can weather the storm. But when you're exposed like this, it's very difficult. And Marcell, are you using the staking the CFI protocols at all? And I don't know, maybe can you can explain some of these risks to some of the users that are watching today, viewers that are watching today? I think the number one message here is, when you send cryptocurrency to whoever, a company, an exchange, a landing provider, a bank, even if it's a bank. So you're essentially giving away this cryptocurrency and getting in return IOU means a debt instrument. Okay, I have your coins here. So I own you, I shall repay in whatever period or whenever you ask for redemption, the coin plus some yield. So whenever you log in at balance, whenever you're logging in at sales use or whatever company, a centralized company, what you're seeing there, the balance that you're seeing there is an IOU. It's a debt. You don't have access to those cryptocurrencies. You cannot withdraw them. You cannot go on the blockchain and check if the balance is still there because you gave away your coins in promise of a potential future return. So you should avoid that at all costs, no matter how reputable the company is, even if it's a bank, because the main goal, the main the main benefits from cryptocurrencies is for you to do your own custody for you to do to be your own bank. So you don't have to rely on the risk management of other people. So that's my whole message here. That's a very, very important takeaway, Jordan. Go ahead and jump in here. Yeah, I was gonna like point out like, there's been a big change in the whole crypto ecosystem the last four or five years.  We we're back under a trillion dollars. Now we're a really small market. So any big blow up is going to really affect everything like it is currently and it kind of seems like they're doing this to get a better hold of the crypto market like the institutions are pushing people out and they're basically getting people's cryptos for free because you put them on Celsius and then they go bankrupt and then a company comes in and buys them for cents on the dollar. So this seems like a whole lot of the traditional finance system is getting thrown in here and we're crypto people are just letting it happen like don't don't give up your cryptos folks. You could not have said that better in these like C5 products. They're no different than a bank like back when we had bank runs in the United States where you couldn't withdraw your deposits and the FDIC was created to ensure those deposits. It's the same thing. It's just a newer you know version of it and like I think this is kind of what we're doing. It's an evolution. You got to have it fail in order to kind of like rebuild the infrastructure inside the ecosystem. So we will see what the fallout brings. You know Celsius has I guess has speculated that they're looking at hiring bankruptcy lawyers. So we're going to see what happens. The next thing I want to get into today though is the tether stablecoin FUD here it's back it's all over the place. You got short sellers circling the wagons and people are talking about it. I didn't know I want to go ahead and just pull up this article real quick from Cointelegraph tether CTO refute stablecoin FUD as short seller circle. Yeah people are looking to short tether is USDT the last stablecoin out there that you know could survive something USDC. I want to start with Marcel here with what is your take around this tether FUD in potentially short selling on USDT. OK man so saying that 15 billion dollars withdrawn from tether in the past month doesn't say that OK so we're 100% sure they have there is enough backing for the remaining 60 billion. They've never given us an audit not an attestation by a top 10 firm as they promised five years ago.  So having said that keep in mind that tether is an important if not essential mechanism for the derivatives exchange and the exchanges in Asia that don't have access to fiat money especially the dollar. So the incentives to keep the system working are huge and currently tether is the oil that runs this engine. So I don't think it's going away. Something I want to quickly note and I'm going to kick this over to Sam is that the CTO had confirmed tether has already reduced its commercial paper exposure from 45 billion down to 8.4 billion this month intending to clear out its commercial paper backing in coming months. Sam what does this tell you what tether is kind of doing behind the scenes in what could potentially be risk associated with this or are they trying to batten down hatches and make sure everything's safe. Yeah if you take a look at tether's attestation and the breakdown of its assets a lot of people have raised concern about the percentage of its assets held in commercial paper which is considered you know riskier. So what they're doing is they said okay if you think that's a risk we're going to reduce our exposure to commercial paper and in fact it's going to go down to zero eventually.  So for me I don't see any immediate risk but you never want to say that in the crypto industry right. We just saw a whole bunch of blue chip companies go down you know Celsius three arrows capital and the tarry ecosystem these aren't just some fringe projects these were crypto blue chips. And it's so Jordan it sounds like there could potentially I'm speculating here that hedge funds could be the ones that are trying to short USDT. Sam just said we've seen the fud happen for years and years and years and years with tether. Is this just another fud attack in a big nothing burger in your opinion what are your thoughts on this kind of whole situation with with tether right now.   So I don't think tether is gonna fail they're adding new other like they're supporting the British pound now and other things that could just some might be other just their grasp and straws are trying to make it look like they're solving I think that they it's fine this is just more fud if you ever if you've been around when the market's down they pile on the foot like somebody's really trying to get good deals and they pile on pile on pile on that's just what's going on right now just don't sell your cryptos folks they steady hold firm they're trying to shake you out don't let them do it. Great great advice love the advice George I so I want to pivot to the chat real quick if you guys have questions ask them in the chat for our panelists here we got the experts in house and they got the answers for you so I want to highlight a question that Vikram had how to stable coins earn money what's their revenue model the dollar peg stable coins does anyone want to jump in and maybe explain what are typical revenue models for some of these stable coins. Go ahead Marcel. So I'm going to give you the answer that those companies hand out to us what they say is that they put this money in tbs or corporate bonds or very safe that instruments so the yield that they get goes to the company even if it's two percent per year so they do really not risky investments and they get yield on that and they don't have to redistribute this yield or this wealth to the holders so that's their supposedly their business. Yeah never really fully transparent with these things yet they're so closely tied together with assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum so it does seem like they have to go hand in hand with each other. I want to pivot us over into some recent news. I don't know if you guys caught this on CNBC yesterday. Jim Kramer did an interview with Gary Gensler and I want to pull up this article because what he said might be pretty interesting for those watching today. So Gendler said he saw many crypto assets having attributes of security adding that Bitcoin is the only crypto he is comfortable publicly labeling as a commodity. Is this big news for Bitcoin. We've heard Gary Gensler talk about this previously. Sam I want to hear your takes being the macro expert on what does this mean for Bitcoin and is this serious. And what did you take away from his interview with Jim Kramer yesterday. I saw it more as a nothing burger and I'm surprised that the community was was so gung-ho about it. He didn't really give anything new. He just said that based on what my predecessor said Bitcoin is a commodity. It's the only one that I would say doesn't fall into the securities bracket potentially. But we already knew that. Right. So I don't really see anything new. I'm actually kind of surprised that the reaction to it. If you provide any kind of new information I would have you know paid more attention to it but he didn't. Just reaffirmed what his predecessor said that Bitcoin. Now has the characteristics of being fully decentralized which makes it more along the lines of the commodity as opposed to a security. So I don't really see any any changes in implications on Bitcoin when it comes to that. And I guess the next thing you know with this is that this is like not new news.  So Marcel what is your take. What's the next step for the SEC in your opinion. Where do you think they're going to kind of let go. Is Bitcoin spot ETFs going to become a thing. Now that Gary Gensler is talking about how it could potentially be a commodity. What's your thoughts. So there are two separate things there. The first one is that yes the SEC already said they don't have the team or the knowledge to be the regulation body that handles cryptocurrencies. So most of that will be shifted to a CFTC. And the CFTC will simply say well OK I think Bitcoin Ethereum this and that are commodities. Those are allowed to trade etc etc. So not much change. Nobody wants to have this hassle of having to go through 200 coins and see what how was the ICO. If there is a team involved how centralized it's impossible task and nobody wants to do it and nobody will do it. But what CFTC wants to do is get the biggest ones that already have interest from institutional investors and say OK these are commodities. This we can do futures. Now to the second part as for the ETF. I don't think the spot ETF will be approved right now. I don't know exactly what are the incentives pushing the SEC towards one side or the other side. But considering what they've said for the past five years for the nine spot ETF which which was basically there's a lot of volume going through non-regulated exchanges especially in stablecoins unregulated stablecoins such as that are. So we don't know who is moving the price and that is potentially dangerous for retail. Nothing has changed in that sense. So I don't think they're going to approve the spot ETF any time soon. Jordan one thing that Gary Gensler did not talk about yesterday was ETH. Why do you think he did not speak on that. And I guess I'm curious to hear what you think what could potentially become of ETH. Is that going to be a commodity one day in your opinion. I think that one probably has a little bit more of a like question about as a commodity security and there's lots of different applications. But I just told conversations is just making me realize why I've been so bored. This is like the summer of shitty secrets like whether it's a Bitcoin ETF.  It's like this. I remember this in 2017 2018. Like all this really says is the government's fricking dragging their goddamn feet. I think what they're doing is trying to get to the point where they can release their CBDCs because they were so behind the ball. They're like let's not do anything and try and get control of this by releasing CBDCs in the future.  I think there's going to keep dragging their feet like they have been for four years. Nothing ever gets done anymore. It seems like I don't know. Did you say CBDCs. Sorry. I thought I was I was about to throw up when you said like no government's going to like full on coming and accept crypto. They're waiting so they can get their CBDCs out so they can actually kind of have some competition in the field. Maybe. I don't know. But hopefully people don't fall for that.  They're prepping the slave coin. Yeah. It's brutal. Well the last last headline that we have here is the hack. I don't know if you guys heard hundred a million dollar hack from Harmony Harmony Hacker since stolen funds to tornado cash mixer. He's still about a hundred million from the Horizon Bridge and this seems to be kind of a recurring theme. It's obviously been part of crypto. This whole hacking narrative has played out time and time. You saw it with Ronan. You've seen it with the original Ethereum. It's just happened. This is part of the ecosystem. What what is what are we to make of these hacks and could they could these potentially start to pile up in the house of cards completely falls over. Marcel what's your takes on a lot of these hacks and how people how it's affecting the ecosystem. Well but this centralized finance. There's too many risks for the regular investor even for the professional investor. So there's like the beside the smart contracts that can have failures. There's the M.E.V. which is bribing the miner so you can have your transaction send send out first. So there are too many risks and that can causes what happened to Harmony. So having said that I think that if if you are a regular retail investor and you use DeFi application to get some yield you should spread out between different blockchains and between different that decentralized applications. There's just too many risks. But as for the whoever stole the hacker of the 100 million I'm not really sure he can convert it to fiat money without getting caught. That brings up a good point because Jordan I want to hear your expertise on it for those who don't know what tornado cash is. This hacker had sent about 20 million over tornado cash so that he could then mix that together. Jordan can you break down what is tornado cash and then kind of piggyback on what Marcel said. Why can this hacker potentially not convert it to fiat at the end of the day. I've actually never used tornado cash but it's just a mixer where you send it and they kind of send the mix the ETH around so it's harder to determine who who where the ETH came from. But again we're getting into smart contracts technology eventually they're going to be able to determine every transaction from point A to point B to all the way to point Z. What are what wallets they've been in where the money came from. So we were talking about this before it's going to be really hard especially as time progresses and the security gets even better. The hacks are always going to happen just because that comes along with code and the inability to really audit it really well. And but people are going to have a hard time kind of cashing out these cryptos in the future just because there's so many firms starting to rise that are monitoring different wallets that have been identified as part of a hacker network and whatnot. So like being especially trying to convert out from cryptos into fiat currencies is probably going to become eventually like impossible for most people and even just trying to transfer your crypto or change it for other places or other on even decentralized exchanges they can kind of freeze exchanges or blacklist wallets now. So as time progresses it's going to get even more and more difficult for these hackers to be able to catch out their funds. But it's always going to kind of be a system just because smart contracts and coding will always most likely always have mistakes because that's just the nature of reality. Here's an idea though. What if the hacker just sent it to a crypto debit card and then not necessarily converts it to fiat. Sure. I don't know. Those do centralized entities and that's a pain point. That's a point of pressure. That's where the regulators come in like stop because that's like it. Yeah.  See how would you navigate these these hacks and our bridge is always going to be the most exposed areas when it comes to these types of hacks. Yeah. For me it's just another day in crypto right 100 million dollar a year 100 million dollar there 500 million dollar. I think we've run the tens of billions of dollars if you take a look at over the past year year and a half. You know as we were talking about earlier I'm not quite sure how these hackers are able to actually make use of the funds unless they're looking at some kind of ransom. But but then I mean on the blockchain moving things around is not the best for you know privacy and illicit behavior. So I'm not quite sure how they make use of it but apparently they are you know that's why you're starting to see you know with DeFi especially the emergence of a new type of risk and the bridge is one of them. So I just stay away from that entire ecosystem to be completely honest. I hold spot and if I like a project I'll look into it. But these bridges these different you know wormholes are all very very risky and as Jordan mentioned you know the nature of code and blockchain and technology in general is that these vulnerabilities will always be there. But with such a patchy work and such a nascent industry it seems like exposure to these types of events is a lot more prevalent. Exactly right. You got to know your risk when it comes to a lot of these things. So great thoughts from all of our experts here. You heard it first. Go ahead and ask your questions if you have them in the chat today we're going to be looking at that while we go through a couple of our other segments today. Next though we have our quick crypto tips for this week we're going to talk about trading plans. So Danila let's go ahead and jump into having and setting up your trading plan. All right well you wouldn't launch into a crypto investing without a plan right. Well if you do this it's time to stop your success as an investor comes from proper trade planning and your crypto trading plan is your anchor as you invest it enables you to stay detached from emotions that could set in. We all know those euphoric or depressive emotions that we felt over the last six months a good trading plan should cover your overall investment objectives the cryptocurrencies you want to trade and the market conditions for trading such currencies through this you'll be able to control your risk to a reasonable extent and have a more prepared approach to the market. Such approaches include your entry and exit time and price trade volume and even assessing your profit taking areas. So trade plan empowers the focus trader by providing several benefits from risk reduction to easing away fear and guarding yourself against greed a good crypto trading plan may not guarantee success but it certainly makes a significant contribution toward one last tip is that set your profit targets when you are making trades do not get greedy that is big the one of the biggest tips I have for you today and thank you for listening to the crypto tips segment drop your Twitter handle in the chat so that you could win fifty dollars to our C.T. store and you can get all the swag you want for the fifty bucks. What is that you need a mousepad you need a coffee cup. We got you C.T. store. All right. Marcel is going to be diving in to some heavy topics about Bitcoin Ethereum this week and he's going to be talking about contagion not the movie but the contagion inside the ecosystem of crypto. So Marcel let's go ahead and have you take it away to know fire it up. So contagion is the word of the week in crypto. After all who could expect the Celsius Voyager of BlockFi and Babel Finance without face severe insolvency risks after the three arrows capital implosion. So the issue with centralized credit lending firms is the complete lack of transparency. We don't know and we'll likely never have a clear understanding of what were their risk to Teja Luna to grail scale J.B.T.C. arbitrage and to uncollateralized loans to a single counterparty. But first who are those giant trading firms such as Alameda Research giant capital Cumberland and are they really necessary. So otherwise known as market makers those high frequencies traders are the backbone of exchanges. So do you really think that Binance OKX and Coinbase have millions of clients buying and selling 400 coins every day every time at all times. No no of course that's not true. And even in traditional markets such as stock markets and bonds there are official market makers. So those are hired by the issuer itself meaning the stock or the bond or the bank behind the IPO. So apart from lower trading fees those entities have access to loans credits in the forms of the bond and stock. So it's much easier for them to trade high volumes. But in short market makers are hired to boost the trading volume no matter how it gets done. So let me share you a screen with you just a sec. OK Danilo. So whenever you hear 70 percent of trading volume comes from institutionals like Binance CEO said Binance USO said or 99 percent of all Bitcoin volume and transaction comes from institutions. So what they're really saying is that the market makers are doing the volume. So yes there could be some regular companies such as MicroStrategy eventually buying or selling Bitcoin but they do not compose the majority of the trading volume. Thank you Danilo. Now back to the contagion risk. Is there a considerable risk that order market making firms can go down if the markets continue to tank. Yes there is a risk but it's unlikely because too much money was already drained from the market. So those firms are either requiring additional collateral so more margin deposited or simply divesting taking money away from crypto markets. And to prove that points we're going to check out the chart with the amount of stable coins issued. Danilo can you share my screen please. So that's the sum of all the stable coins that exist including that are USDC die whatever. So the peak before the lunar collapse was a hundred and eighty billion and it's now at one four one forty eight billion dollars. So it's a thirty three billion dollar decrease. So even if it's exclude the Teja USD there's another 15 billion that has gone missing mostly on that. So those firms withdraw money that could salvage. Thank you Danilo. So contagion risk. Sure it exists but leverage players have already been wiped out. They got liquid dated. They lost money here out of the market. So whoever survived the 74 74 percent price crash from the out time hide of six sixty nine thousand dollars to the bottom of seventeen thousand dollars we will likely handle some additional turbos. So I don't think it's a risk right now. So are you saying that we could potentially go lower than this twenty K mark that we're at right now. Yes there's a risk of the traditional markets. Traditional economies going down because of a crisis or a lack of confidence in the US dollar itself. So yes we could revisit 14 K 15 K. It's possible but it won't because of the contagion risk. It's because we're highly correlated to risk assets right now but not because of contagion. Seems like we should have been having this contagion conversation a couple months ago like when Tara first fell like it seems like the contagion is already spread. And it's also kind of highlighted that we weren't all that decentralized. Look how many funds were invested in three AC. That's not the centralization. I don't know there's a lot of issues that we need to work out and not not adopt so many traditional finance things in the crypto because it's causing problems same kind of problems that we're seeing in the wider economy. Exactly right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Part of it. It's because of the market makers itself that exchanges can only exist if those market makers are there providing liquidity. So once we remove one or two of the biggest market makers it's going to take two months or six months for other ones to step in and restablish liquidity and the market gets enough confidence to go back to its levels. Fascinating times. Any questions from our cell. All right. We're going to take a look at the chat. Looks like we did have one question from Moon Sahayi and he wants to know is it time to buy and how would you approach this question. Well Moon well if you need the money in the next six months don't do it. If you're going to have to withdraw no matter what three to six months don't do it. If you can handle the pain for at least 12 months at least a year without looking at the screen at the price it's time to buy. That's my opinion. And not financial. Yeah this is not financial advice but to me this is a decent spot to start doing some dollar cost average in DCA just because it's it's a nobody can pick the bottom. Well one person gets the bottom obviously but if that's a really tricky game it causes a lot of stress. If you want to you want to take the least stress approach a accept that like we could go down lower except buy assets that you think have a really good long term viability and then just kind of set it on all a pilot and don't think about it too much don't focus on the price. Just kind of put that on all a pilot like I said because that's how that's how you make money in crypto. You buy in in the crypto winners and you sell during the crypto talks which like nobody did last year. But it's just part of the learning curve. It's a tough game. A lot of long term bank holders and this is a good time to buy but we never have the conversation is just a good time to sell because we're always so damn bullish at the top. So like like you said earlier Benton trading plan before you even buy an asset pick a sell point and stick to it. That way the emotions can kind of stay out of it. Exactly right. Now do I have a burning question though with you know title of the show today is you know Bitcoin bulltrap in play or are we heading to 30 K I want to kick this to Sam first what what would a bulltrap look like right now and what is your take you know short term here over the next six months where we could potentially head. Well I don't even think we've seen the condition for a bulltrap in the send at what we hit twenty one thousand. I mean I think a bulltrap would have required us to maybe retest twenty five get everyone excited again before we nuke back down lower. I do expect prices to go lower I do expect another leg down right now I think sixteen to seventeen thousand is a possibility it could go lower than that. But again in terms of picking the bottom I don't know what that's going to be. If you think that Bitcoin is a long term investment then buying at these levels is probably a good idea despite the fact that it can go lower so I don't really see any kind of bullish indicators anytime soon so if we have a spike toward twenty five thousand which I thought was a distinct possibility that always set us up for one more leg lower but I guess I guess we'll find out right now the one thing we've gotten is twenty one thousand dollars which that's not even enough to entice you know even even the on chain guys who are always bullish seemingly so that's that's my take on it. And I want to pull up a quick chart so to know if you want to mind just pulling up a chart for me here on the screen share. I want to quickly note here this is we've had a fifty five percent drawdown from the top here this was back in April twenty twenty one then we had fifty two percent drawdown from November twenty one to January twenty two then from this local high and March this year we've then drawn down another nearly sixty two percent this trend line here if this is going to hold up I think this blue line is probably we're going to see we're going to see chop maybe we bounce up to a twenty five cave but it tells me I think we're probably going to get rejected and go lower I put this this horizontal right here around fourteen K for me that's the mark I'm kind of keeping an eye on I think we consolidate and chop then there's one last drop down and I'm kind of monitoring that fourteen K ish level but I want to hear you know Jordan your take on how you're kind of looking at things what levels you're looking at how are you approaching trades right now if at all are you just sitting on the sidelines and they're doing too much trading more trying to accumulate some certain tokens on a dip like chain link or something but I think I wrote an article yesterday and some some analysts were pointing to fifteen thousand dollars if we go to like the historical norm and eighty five percent bullbacks from the top that would put us at like a ten K Bitcoin which is terrifying right like is that gonna happen I don't know and like we can't can't focus on the crypto bubble like crypto we find ourselves in the crypto bubble and we forget that like there's this whole of the world out there where there's like wars and inflation and interest rates that are also like unknowns so like yeah we could get a pop up in the crypto market some really good news and then all of a sudden something happened in the greater economy that just tanks every market there's no way crypto can can kind of fight against that so like I said that's why deep dollar cost averaging is the least stress like you accept that you you're gonna be purchasing assets that might go down but long term they're gonna go up and then don't think about it because in the short term there ain't no time what's gonna happen in the wider world or in the crypto world so just kind of put your head down and choose a plan and stick with it and go outside and enjoy the sun when you can. Marcel I got a question from the chat here says Marcel mentioned that price is influenced by institutions but what about the whole planet traders and users what percent do they consist of is that a ballpark figure you might be able to kind of like you know point this one person sharple in the right direction what are your thoughts here okay so what why is what I mentioned is that the institutionals the market makers and those large entities such as three hours just capital and Alameda research they have like ninety ninety percent of the volume but that doesn't mean they're the price makers yes they can I don't know sell fifty million dollars at market and crash the price ten percent but then other buyers will step in and say well twenty K seventy K is too low we're gonna be making buys here and this guy don't don't have in unlimited ammunition so yes they are price makers for the short term but in the long term so if you if you select daily candles or weekly candles we shouldn't you shouldn't have to stress out about market makers but if you are trading fifteen minute candles five minute candles they're gonna eat you up they're gonna steal your lunch because they have deep pockets and can withstand pain for much longer than you can so you're trading and should be excellent as strategy do some DCA and if you reach certain level you don't have to sell a hundred percent of your share but you can sell well I'm gonna reduce fifty percent of my position and sit back for a couple of months and stop the DCA so what Jordan said is the best strategy during stress and volatile markets excellent insights so we are not in a bull trap it appears that you know I think the consensus is we're gonna be consolidating or chopping here you know for the foreseeable future with a potential drop so I want to get into the markets pro because we talked about trading having a plan what better way to have a plan than to be on markets pro so we had two coins that you should have been watching this week so to know let's go ahead and jump into our markets pro segment for this week let's do it all right well the first token that we had watched on our radar this week was brought to us by a newsquake alert this was the coin trading under the ticker LDO Lido and preceding significant price pumps on June 20th a newsquake hit markets pro subscribers with an alert that will be global would list this token following announcement the price soared from fifty one cents all the way up to sixty seven cents that's an increase of thirty one point seven percent that is a flavor of blaster of gains and you just love to see that when you get the newsquake alerts and you're able to trade an action that you have a plan with markets pro and you stick to it when you hear those newsquake alerts go off on your phone you action that trade and get in on these types of trades thirty percent gains in these types of markets I don't know who would not take that so next up we have the token auto trading under the ticker AUTO this one was alerted by the vortex score which is a comparison between its current market conditions and social conditions in the past score of eighty or higher is considered company bullish thirty or lower historically bearish so the vortex algorithm picked up an historically bullish pattern for auto several times this week with the green vortex were flashing head of positive price movement after the first high score the price rose from a hundred ninety two dollars to a peak of two hundred and sixty four dollars an increase of about thirty seven percent a few days later a second score came when the price was two hundred fourteen dollars ninety nine cents traders who bought at this price level and held until the peak would have seen the increase of twenty two percent a third score briefly lit up when the price was two hundred thirty three dollars traders buying here would have still benefited a twelve point ninety nine percent increase that is the trifecta folks that's what we call that so the vortex or is a valuable tool and if you're trading on auto this week you saw not just three massive pumps but you saw those vortex worse light up green across the board and that's why you have to get started with markets pro I keep telling you all every week get your free month try it out get your game plan together and try out markets pro help us help you that's the old motto at markets pro we thank you for the markets pro segment this week and don't forget drop your Twitter handle in the chat we're giving away fifty dollars to the coin telegraph store today guys we're going to wrap this thing up today with some closing thoughts and we will select our winner for today Jordan let's hear your closing thoughts for today show well it's going to be similar to what I usually say like crypto winners suck man it's going to be rough try and find your inner peace go outside and enjoy some sun don't just stare at your blockfolio or the crypto markets because like there's some bad news is going on the wider world so like we're like the whole world's in for maybe a rough patch so try and find whatever kind of relaxation and fun you can and if you got spare funds that you don't need for your life you maybe like start accumulating some cryptos if that's your if that's your game but yeah just just take a deep breath and relax always such wise advice Sam any closing thoughts for today yeah I think most of us should be you know concerned about cash flow making sure our lifestyles are funded so that we don't have to dip into our spot holdings that aspect of your life keep that held that's what I would do I'm not going to be selling my Bitcoin at these levels kind of ridiculous whatever mistakes were made were made whatever market manipulation happened happened whatever correlation we had with equities that we didn't think was going to be so strong happened now is just time to kind of focus on moving forward focus on cash flow if you have a steady cash flow in life you don't have to worry so much about how your equities are how your assets are performing if you have a decent time horizon so that's all I could say really about it. Excellent advice and Marcel.  You heard it here first folks great advice from all our experts on the show today we appreciate everyone for tuning in to this episode of the Marker Report don't forget to turn on the notification and like and subscribe coin telegraph here on YouTube this is the Marker Report and we're here 12 o'clock eastern on Tuesdays we appreciate everyone for joining us and until next time we will see you next Tuesday.


Hello, and welcome back to The Craft Box. My name is Springton. Today we're in episode 11 of the Pyro of the Wizard 101 solo death walkthrough series. Last episode, if you haven't checked that out, we went into the chamber of fire and did some digging and some collecting of things and today we're in the Palace of Fire, so yee! Let's start by talking to Luton Sandish. Yeah, it is a lot. You look like a stout, young wizard. I require your assistance. The archeologist found magical artifacts that may seal the crocs in the Palace of Fire. It's risky, but it just might work. Please find my men and give them these artifacts. Report back to me with news. Okay, we're gonna quickly go and get our last spell from the lawn. Um, just real quick here. Um, since it's not a quest. Okay, um, I think it's a vampire. Pretty sure it is. Yeah, it must be a vampire. Yeah, a banshee vampire, yeah. Rank 4 spell vampire is what we get. And it's the last spell my lawn can teach us, unfortunately. Train. Yes. Close. Look at that. Things gone. Okay, um, so yeah, that is vampire, which is a great spell. We'll put two in just in case. We need it. I don't see that we will, but you never know. Yes, I'm still using my starter deck. Thanks for asking. Yes, it still is fine. Thanks for asking. Um, yeah, let's continue on, and we will go and talk to Private Farnsworth and all the people around here. So yeah, they're basically just in these areas here. Um, yeah. They also have a side quest each, and I highly recommend you do them. Most of them are basically just what we have to do later in the thing anyway, so it's like killing two birds with one stone, really. Um, and getting a bit more golden XP, which you can never deny is good. So yeah, let's talk to Private Farnsworth. I've been waiting for some reinforcements to show up, but they are way overdue. I surmise that these flame guardians are keeping the troops away. Would you be good enough to give a few of these overgrown campfires the toss? I think with a few lesser their numbers, my boys can get through. So yeah, for example, we get 600 extra XP, then we would normally do because we have to defeat those things anyway, so I mean, why not get extra XP if you have to defeat things? So yeah, these quests are really, really good and I always do them. Again, we have to, we have to defeat those things anyway, so why not get 600 extra XP just for defeating something that you can't do? Again, we have to, we have to defeat those things anyway, so why not get 600 extra XP just for defeating something that you have to do in another quest later? So yeah, that's really well laid out those quests and what you have to do. Highly recommend it and can't like, stop saying that because it's so worth. Now we are going over to the other side, the other four, the other two, four I can't count, oh my god, the other two. And they also have side quests. One of them is to collect these wee little gems which doesn't take long. I think that's right, I think it is, yeah. And that is literally so easy. Probably the most easiest one of them all, but the other ones we have to do anyway, so might as well just, I think this one is the gym one or the other one. I can't remember what the third one is, the fourth one. What's funny is we basically get this quest itself, except without the desert golems and we already have to defeat through these three of these, so I mean, it doesn't wait, might as well just get it. So yeah, it's really good, this one is the gym one, I believe. But yeah, we'll talk to Private Primwell, what a weird name, Primwell. Hello. Okay, so look, there's one gym already, and we're not even back yet, so that's cool. There's one more up here, which we can get, hopefully. No, maybe not, because it's in the middle of the thing. Let me just go that way. We'll get this one here. Oh, there's two. Yeah, two of four already, and we're only just about to start the next quest. See, say what I'm saying? What's this one? So yeah, the only one that we don't get for the main storyline is obviously the sand one, so that's why I always get up that one, just so I have two for the sand people as well, might as well. But yeah, let's get all this done off camera. Okay, I am back, I just finished off all of those battles, wasn't too bad. They're holding their own now, outstanding. Splendid, you retrieved all biscuits. It's hard to do battle, especially when you don't have any biscuits for tea. Hi, Jove, I think you've saved this entire campaign. Cheers. My men are doing all they can, but they can't fight forever. It's not enough to hold the army. We have to defeat it. One last request, young wizard. Defeat the Narini family. They have erected a spirit barrier to the throne room. Their names are Edo, Nebit, Shai, and Akkori. Defeat them, and the barrier will be broken down. Okay, let's go and do that now. So these are four bosses at basically all around as you see. The hardest part of this was definitely the desert golems, the sandy thingies, where we had to get the tins. I didn't collect it on the first battle, so I had to do three battles, which is fine. It's not too difficult, but we'll hand in to Private Archibald this quest. You were able to get all the data I needed on the enemy? Brilliant. Now I can come up with the best tactics for us to use. With this data, we're certain to defeat the Tuts. Okay, that is decent XP and 43 gold, which is cool, plus another 19, and an ore, or two, or three. One ore. And let's hit on it to defeat Edo. So yeah, we have to defeat all four of these bosses, and yeah, so it's pretty easy. Pretty easy. Thus begins the dreaming of your strength and the restoration of my glory. Okay then, I think you're cool, that's cool, but you're not, so that's fine. Yeah, let's do this. We are going to blade. 545 health, I think I saw. That's not too bad. We'll probably use a vampire on him, just so we can get the health back as well. So I'll do the desert golem first, I'll get a cheeky wee banshee going next round, and then basically I'll just blade and wait for the vampire. We are going to need to get that off. He's probably not going to die, but he might, you never know. I have been doing like nearly 500 with this, so I don't know. I think the most was like 450 something, not nearly 500, but close enough. Yeah, what's this going to be? This is going to be a sunbird? Yep. How do I guess?   See, told you. It's an OP spell. Okay, do max, don't do the minimum, don't do the minimum, don't do the minimum. I did little, I did the minimum. Damn it. Okay, we might die here, which should not be good at all because of that bloody sunbird. He passed, which is good. We're not going to kill it this round. Next round we will. If only we went first. We wouldn't have this problem, but now we have a problem, you see. Pass, pass. Fizzle. Don't do 156. Do 155. 191, really? Okay. Okay, I am back. Second round, already killing the first guy, which is good. I got the power, I put second round, so I mean, what can I do? What can I say? They passed the first round, so I haven't taken any damage. So, you know, it's fine. It's not too bad. Yeah, let's see what he's going to do. Lippercorn? Yep, what I thought. Okay, that's cool. Do 176. Okay, that's cool. Let's see. We are going to discard you and pass and hope for a vampire. We didn't get a vampire. We're going to discard you and pass and hope for a vampire. Bom bom bom bom bom one, seventy-two. First time you've seen me cast a vampire.


Fat bikes have wider tires and regular bikes and less tire pressure so you can ride on the snow. Lake Bemidji State Park is hosting the third annual event and the non-competitive race will be a test of endurance and conditioning. This is a free event and spectators are welcomed and encouraged but everyone needs a permit that can be purchased at the visitor's office. For some this is one of the last big events of this winter. A lot of trails through the rest of the park that people utilize in the summertime so it's just forested with some hills some rolling terrain and some flat areas as well. Registration starts at 9 30 tomorrow morning followed by a mandatory rules meeting at 10 and a mass start for the rally at 11.

My name is Nicole Jofalan, I'm a PhD candidate in the School of Air and Astro Engineering and this year's Airways Classic Captain. The race is a yearly competition that cross-country races for female pilots from all over the world. There are 55 teams participating usually consisting of 2 to 3 people in small airplanes. So my experience last year was really good. I got to meet a lot of women that I now admire and we did really well. Racing was a lot of fun and we got to learn a lot about ourselves and our airplane and how to fly it efficiently and fast and I'm looking forward to putting those lessons in practice again. The race is different this year, we're not racing from east to west anymore, we're racing from west to east. So we'll be able to complete the race faster because we expect to have some strong tailwinds. Two things we've done different this year is one, we've added a third teammate in the airplane. So this year we have a teammate whose job is basically to do that for us. Help us have fun, help us step aside, have a comfort zone, take videos, share stuff on Facebook so that the public on the ground, people who are not in aviation, they can see how wonderful it is and maybe want to do it later. Second thing we changed is we have now FlightTest.Airplane. So we went up a few times, so me and my co-pilot went up and we just flew at race power settings and race configurations around the block a few times and we collected data so we know how fast we expect to fly at different altitudes and also how fast we can climb and descend depending on where we're facing. So we'll be able to make better decisions when it comes to flying the race legs.


Hey guys, it's Nate, A.K.A. The Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel. We are loading into a Sunday on FIFA 22, and Sundays always mean one thing. Icon upgrade SBCs, and I think today, we're gonna see that icon player pick get re-released. The question is gonna be, are they gonna re-release it at the same price, or are they gonna make it a little bit cheaper? So we'll talk about that potential of that SBC coming out today. How it would impact the SBC fodder on this market that is still so very low, and I think still very investable, and also we have to take a look at the current state of the market once again, because we thought prices were low yesterday, right? Yeah, what if I told you that I bought Ben Yetter yesterday at 1.45 million coins, and sold him around 1.5, above 1.5, and today, Ben Yetter is under 1.1 mil. These prices, the market is dying so much, it is crazy, and what doesn't help, those prices staying up on the market, is EA dropping incredible SBC content like they did yesterday with Mr. Insignet. They did the juice, they made this card so cheap, incredible dynamic image, the five-star skill move boost on this card, that literally everybody's running this card right now if they can fit him in their team, because it's mental. So I'm gonna take a look at everything going on in the game right now. It's an exciting time, EA is delivering content, and I think today is gonna be another pretty hype day on the game. So if you're excited for an icon player pick, hit the thumbs up on the video and subscribe. If you are new, let's start the video by talking about that very SBC. The moments player pick that we finally had last week, we're expecting it to be re-released today, because Sundays are like always the day that they release the icon or the upgrades, whether it's from earlier in the year. Sundays have been the day where they release upgrade packs for icons, and you can see this one, of course, expires in 14 hours, and for the past month, every Sunday, we've had another icon upgrade SBC. So, since I can't click into that SBC since I've completed it, what we would assume is, for the last couple months as well, they did the icon moments upgrade, they released the SBC once, then they released it again. Same thing with the 92 plus and the 93 plus. So I'm not expecting anything crazy today. Realistically, the thing you can expect the most is for them to literally just re-release the icon moments player pick today, probably with the same requirement. It's about 670K, even though it's downvoting a foot bin, as you see here, 32% upvotes, 68% downvote, I think that with all the packs that have been opened, all of the 84 times 25 packs that people have saved either from TotSwap 2 or all those icon swapping packs that have been opened as well, and over the past day or so, two days with Ultimate Tots being out in the game, I think that so many people are gonna be able to do an icon moments player pick today. That's why I think it's gonna impact the market a decent amount. I think you might see some prices on the market dip a bit in general as people go out and do this SBC even more. You'll see those prices dip potentially. And also I think fodder is gonna go up because if you think about it, you might be like, Nate, if this SBC is coming back out again today and people have a lot of fodder in their club, why would SBC fodder go up for this if people have a lot of fodder already? Well, I doubt that people actually have an 88, 88, 89, and 89 rated squad worth of fodder already in their club. A lot of people don't have this much without having a lot of duplicates. You know, you might have two or three squads worth, maybe two squads worth in your club, just able to do easy, then you have to go on and buy a couple players to do the rest. But since people have a lot of the fodder in their club already, there's gonna be more people that will just, you know, be able to do this for cheaper since they have it in the club. And that's gonna get more people to do this SBC, which I think will make fodder spike just like it's done the last two or three weeks when we've gotten an icon moments upgrade pack. I think we'll see a nice spike on the higher tier of fodder today. So that's what I would really watch out for. You know, they could release this SBC a little bit cheaper, maybe instead of like the 88, 88, 89, 89, they could do like 87, 87, 88, 88 and make it like 150K cheaper. That would be very appreciated if EA sports would want to do that. But still, even in that case, I think you would see your fodder cards go up in price. We talked about it in last night's video as they were really great investments. I'm sitting here today telling you that it's the exact same scenario. These cards really aren't up that much. A couple of them are up a little bit. But again, 85s are still 4K, 84s are still under 2,000 coins, 86s are still in the low 7s. I think these prices are great. I think that 87s, 88s, 89s, depending on the rating of that moment's player pick today, you'll probably see your 88s to 91s go up the most and have the biggest jump because those will be the cards that people will be going and buying to complete those higher rated SBCs. And here's my play with, honestly, the way we've seen it the past couple of weeks, we had said, hey, don't sell your fodder cards on Sunday when they spike, they'll go a little higher later on in the week. But what's actually been the best play is to sell these cards like right away after the SBC comes out, give it an hour, give it two hours and sell in that initial spike on the day of the SBC. In the past couple of weeks, that's been the best time to do so. So that's probably what I'm gonna say for today as well. I honestly, when I think about the rest of this week, I would rather take the cash on an investment, like if you're gonna buy some of these higher rates, which they are up a little bit, right? Harry Kane last weekend was 25,000 coins or 23, 24K and now he's 27. So there is some anticipation already of a player pick coming. And I think that these prices are maybe up a little bit too just because we have a player pick that is out in the game right now. And some people that haven't completely yet are still going out and doing it. So that's why, you know, I still think you'll see fodder grow up today, but that's why I would take the cash on a quick flip if you have bought fodder this weekend and if it's the higher tier or even if they release it a bit cheaper and like 86 isn't 87 is exploding price. I would even think about taking the cash today on Sunday a couple hours after the SBC comes out when there is the most hype and the biggest spike in that fodder as people go and do the moments player pick when it is re-released today. So if the moments player pick does not release today, then we'll be like, okay EA sports, what are you doing? And that would be a huge bummer. So we're kind of counting on that to happen, but I feel like it's pretty safe to do that because literally every Sunday for the past month and a half, we have been getting some sort of icon upgrade SBC. So that's kind of my thoughts. If you're like Nate, I still think there's some investment opportunities on the lower tier of fodder. I think you're absolutely correct as well. 84s, 85s, you know, we're gonna have some sort of TOTS upgrade packs this week. There's two different packs that are in the code that could be dropping as soon as tomorrow on Monday. So I even think that some of the lower tier cards have potential to rise up. And if you wanna do a club stock or an investment on those, be my guest because they're just ridiculously cheap right now as the way that they are in the game. Anyway, so that's the biggest piece of Sunday content coming today in the game is that moments player pick for the, probably the biggest piece of content today. Now, what other stuff are we gonna see today on Sunday? Let's talk about market and talk about content today. We should be having the next set and actually the last set of team of the season or as these are actually gonna be called team of the group stage cards and packs. The biggest one that's in here is this Julian Alvarez, the Manchester City man, River Plate striker though. He is leaked to be in the team of the group stage and these are not confirmed stats but I think he's gonna have a really high card today. People are gonna be very excited about him. Just think about the other secondary league TOTS that have had strikers that have been very exciting, right? Nunez, Taliska, guys like that have been very popular day one, very, very rare. These cards are going to be decently rare if they're really hyped, so specifically Alvarez then a lot of the rest of them are probably gonna become really cheap and become fodder if we're being honest. That's kind of how it happens with the Sunday releases for the lower leagues. But this Alvarez card will probably be very good and be the most hyped card today. So as long as they juice up some of the stats from this team, that should be pretty cool. Now also, for content today, we still have some end of an era that have been leaked that we could see today. Mark Noble is one of those and so is Schmelzer. So there's still two end of an era cards that we have leaked right now that we have not seen dropped in the game. If they were gonna continue with the end of an era push then we would, I would imagine we would see either of these two, one of them today in the game since they're both leaked to be SBCs. We will see what ends up happening. So that's kind of my content I think we'll expect for today. Of course, probably some lightning rounds, probably some pack supply. And I do think that we have to talk about, I mean, we can't go without talking about the insane price drops that are just currently happening on this market because I think they're gonna, you know, they're gonna continue into today as well. I mean, what is going on? Like this market is in the mud.  I know he was still brand new in packs. He was like three million coins. Right now, Rafael Leao is 1.27. He has dropped almost like 1.5 or more in value over a week's time. And even in the past two days, he's down a million coins. It is ridiculous to see how much this guy has dropped. Now, of course, his price is immediately affected or was immediately affected by the Insignia card. And I think a lot of the left wings like Hyunmin's son as well, right? I traded with this guy on Friday, sold him at 550 and I believe he's like under 400K at the moment or somewhere right around there. Yeah, 400,000 coins, 399. Like he has been directly impacted by the Insignia SBC, which is absolutely incredible for this card. You take a look at this item on foot bin. I think everybody's going out and doing this. 200,000 coins for a 96-rated five-star skill, four-star weak foot, five-foot-four player. And he's not that hard to link, right? I mean, you've got Napoli links out there. Of course, like I talked about yesterday, I had some Tonalis and I sold them in the hype. You could have bought Tonalis at the release of the Insignia yesterday. Tonali went from 300K all the way up to like 390. At his absolute peak. And he's back down to 359. I think this card's gonna continue to go higher because he is the number one choice for people to link Insignia in their squads from what I have seen. But with the continued pack supply with people changing up their teams and just with, again, that supply and the market being so devalued by how far these ultimate Tots cards are dropping, look at Benzema, 1.6 million coins. There is so much panic, so many price drops in this game. It is unbelievable. The market is literally just dying, right? Tonali is 800K and Kunku is 500,000 coins. We looked at the Ben Yetter who is down 500K since yesterday, right? Yesterday, he's down 500K since then. It's just wild to look through the entire market right now and look at these prices. Even the cards that are out of packs, like we've been talking about, Ettermila Tau is 469,000 coins after being 600K yesterday and he is not in packs with Ultimate Team this season. This is a full on market correction is what it is, right? The Ultimate Tots cards are dropping so much. They're dropping great SBCs right now that people are putting into their teams. So people are selling what they have and these cards are getting so cheap. So also people who are using Amila Tau that was 600,000 coins and maybe let's say they wanted to use like a Teo Hernandez, but they couldn't and put him into their team and change their team around because Teo Hernandez was 1.1 mil. Well, now they can go sell the Amila Tau and use a guy like Teo because he's dropped 400K, right? It's just these cards dropping so much has shifted the game around and it's caused a whole correction on the entire card market in the game. It is crazy. Now I wanna say this, some of these prices that are dropping too, there's some panic selling that's involved with this as well. I think that we are going to get to a very low point and I think you're gonna see even though these cards will still be in packs, I think you're gonna see a low point on some of these Tots cards really soon. Even the ultimate Tots cards that are in packs, you're really rare ones. I'm talking guys like Benzema. I'm talking guys even like Rafael Leal, even though we have the crazy insignia that has been dropped, maybe a guy like Cancelo, Asala or De Bruyne, the Jude Bellingham, the Vinny Jr. that is 3.7 million coins, the Ben Yetter that is a million coins flat for this card that was 2 million coins last week. Like what? You know it's crazy with how much these cards have dropped. I think that today, sometime today on Sunday is gonna be your low point because you have a great SPC coming out for the Icon Moments player pick. That's gonna make some people sell to go and do that player pick, gamble SPC. And then also you're ending the time. I know that Weekend League is still open until Tuesday but most people try to get their games done still on Saturdays and Sundays and you're just seeing so many low prices on this game. I think that you have the green light for me if you wanna buy any of these cards for your team. That's for a team buy and maybe some investments if you wanna try to flip a few of them, I would just say that it's gotta be a really rare card if you expect to make any coins on it because these players have not only been supplied already one week when they were first in packs for their specific League of Tots, right? Like in Cuckoo was in packs for Bundesliga Tots and now he's in packs again for Ultimate Team of the Season where people are arguably opening more packs. So they have two weeks of supply which would hurt their potential rise and we could have a new promo coming next week guys. We really could be like they have done in years past. Last year they went straight from Ultimate Team of the Season into like the Path to Glory and the Euro stuff. Now of course if we don't have Euros or a World Cup this summer, World Cup is next fall. So, or this coming fall, you know, they still could go right into a promo like a summer heat or something like that. I don't know if they're gonna take a week off or go straight into it. So I would say you are safe to buy some of these cards for like a buy for your team if you wanna get some of them in. You know, even if you wanna buy somebody like Paqueta, right? Paqueta is a pretty rare card. Compared to most of these he's 740,000 coins. Like what? That's crazy, right? 740 for Paqueta is wild. But if you wanna snag one of these for your team sometime today when you see them continue to drop maybe go in snag the card, buy it up and then be happy and use that card and enjoy that card for what it is and knowing that you're getting such a deal on these cards for what they used to be and for what they were a couple weeks ago. I think this weekend's gonna create a great opportunity to pick up on some of those cards as you're gonna see probably the culmination of the supply and the panic selling today. Now, the reason I mentioned the whole next week with new promo and like summer heat maybe dropping is that if we see a loading screen for a promo like summer heat, I think that you would see these cards rise less depending on the cards that we would get then. So that's just one thing to keep in mind. But for the, I would give you a green light for right now if you wanted to buy any of these cards for your team rising up later this week, especially for the more rare ones. I think that's a definitely good idea and a good decision. Now, even for your out of packs cards like Pedri's a mill, Joel Felix is 600K man, 600,000 coins for a Joel Felix who was 830K on Friday and now he's 600, it's wild. It is wild and these guys have not gotten supplied at all of course, because this is just pure panic selling and market correction on these cards right here. So if you like trading with these risky flips this is like the best market ever for some of you guys like doing this stuff. Like that Joel Felix is down, how many percent was it? He is down 13, 14%. You know, he could very easily bounce back up to like 660 or 670 depending on how rare he is depending on how low he gets tonight. You're gonna have so many opportunities to trade with these cards if you like doing that stuff but just in general, it is a fantastic time. Like even look at Monty, Monty was three mill and now he's 2.07, it's crazy man. Everywhere you look on the mark right now it's just down horrendous and it's crazy to look at community tots. Also, I think a little bit of what's going on is since they're doing the e-figs rewards any card that is 91 plus is getting packed tradable from the 14 win plus packs. Even guys like Fred, Zaha and Suarez are getting packed at the moment because they are in those rewards tradable and in red picks. I mean Suarez is down 300K, look at this. One million coins, he bounced a 1-1 and he is now 739,000 coins for Luis Suarez and he's not even in packs but you probably have some people on the game right now that are packing him from those rewards and also with the market being so devalued in general you're just seeing a whole bunch of panic selling. So definitely take a look and take a watch on some of these cards because they are really, really rare and it creates tremendous opportunities to trade with them and to flip with them but that's just kind of an understanding and hopefully it gives you a reasoning on why this market is down so much and I think it comes down to most of the panic selling and the correction on the market but a little bit of this is tradable supply too like even Militao people technically are able to pack even from weak only rewards even though I doubt it's happening very often I bet you're seeing a couple of those Militaos pop up here on the 59th that are fresh first owner. It's probably affecting some of the lower tier cards more but they are from the eFix packs, they are packable. How about Fred, any fresh ones here? Not really, not interesting. It's also late night so there's less people on the game and less people maybe getting their weak only rewards. So yeah man, that's kind of a rundown of what is going on right now in this game. It's just crazy times, that's the bottom line. It's great if you're somebody who is looking to buy cards for your teams, it sucks if you've lost a lot of coins. I gotta get this Insignia done and I gotta get him in the team because you know, Di Maria I wanna try out as well but this Insignia card looks so fun, so many people are gonna be using him and I do have Koolabali so I wanna try him. I run a 352, kind of what we've been running with the team, I don't know if you guys have seen this recently or not is we've been running this 352. I'm probably gonna run Koola Daddy right here for Kuti and then try Insignia on the left and then we'll probably have to get some Viera in there for Kante or something or maybe swap Kante over to the right side. I don't know what we're gonna do there but yeah, that Insignia looks too, too good and I wanted to use a reason to try Koolabali and that Napoli link is very OP right there so I'm gonna have to try him out but we're one and oh in the weekend league. We usually save our games until a little bit later on but just that quality of that SBC is great and hopefully if they really Schmelzer or Mark Noble today, they give it a big juice because we were a bit discouraged with how Matta and Frabergas look last on Friday. Oh, yesterday we had the Ultimate Cup as well. Oh, we have a team's objective, what's in this here? This is my first time logging on FIFA today if you can't notice. Raul or Fernando Torres, oh this is claiming my rewards. Man, how long did this go on for because I haven't looked in that team's tab for a long time. Anyways, inside of this Ultimate Cup, I forgot to talk about this earlier. These are actually pretty sick rewards and I don't know, I'm gonna take a look at this game mode in a second but you're getting one of four 80 plus players that are from eFigs. There's a Tots player pack in here and then there's another Tots player pack, wow. So 12 matches, okay I wanna see this friendly mode. Let me see it, Ultimate Cup, Max Chemistry, three attempts per day. It is not Golden Goal, okay, I don't think it's Golden Goal. So man, that would have been nice if it was Golden Goal. This one's probably gonna be like the league cups that we saw in the first couple weeks of Tots but still really good rewards in there and it gives you something to grind for during the week this week with only a couple matches per day. So that's kinda nice, I like that for me as sports. That's a W and we take those, right? We take that solid content that we can grind throughout the game the rest of the week this week and we're one day closer to upgrade packs. Really curious to see what EA does on Monday for upgrade packs but we'll talk more about that tomorrow on tomorrow's video. So again, today, watch out for that icon moments player pick, getting re-released, watch for a spike on fodder and watch out for the economy bowl team of the group stage and probably some more crazy price movements on the game. I know some people yesterday were opening their one of five league gun packs. If you open any of those, I saw some on Twitter, tweet those to me. I love seeing those reward packs. I'm so behind on my Tots swap tokens, man. I really am. I was trying to do the 84 times 25. We'll see if I get there. I've been literally not paying attention to those because the grind this time has been so much more difficult for the way I like to get the tokens via SBC. There's been way more an objective. So again, that's gonna be the video for today. Happy Sunday. If you enjoyed it, hit a thumbs up. Comment if you have questions and subscribe if you're new. It's been Nathan Foot Account and I'll catch you guys later. Peace out.
