Hey, thank you so much for joining me Tony Gaskins here I want to talk to you today about something Concept that I spoke on a long time ago, and it is love Verse in love a lot of times people ask me about this and I'm gonna speak from a male perspective, you know As for the women, you know What love is and you know what it's like to be in love but I'm gonna tell you from a man and a lot of times men don't understand this because Some sometimes men don't understand themselves and I hear guys talking and I could tell that you know These guys have not come into full knowledge of themselves and some of these guys can be 50 60 years old because love is The gift that allows us to come into full knowledge of Ourselves and if you don't allow yourself to fall in love Then you'll never realize the depths of your spirit the depths of your soul You'll never truly know who you are if you don't have love if you don't give love purely and wholeheartedly and Allow someone to love you equally or greater in Reciprocation of the love that you're giving you'll never truly know who you are and I realize this and so I want I want you to understand Especially for men, there's a difference between love and in love and now people want to get all into the different types of love You know that the technical Terms like Eros and all of these different, you know words these big old words from the other languages Look, isn't it's not that serious not that deep and that was a human that wrote that so understand it could be flawed but as a love and relationship coach who coaches Relationships and coaches individuals on self-love every single day I get to see in the heart of man and woman in the heart of man and woman every day all ages Around the globe love is a universal language, but there's a difference between love And in love what you need to understand about love is that love in itself can be very shallow Love can be very shallow. So what I mean by that is with love love can be I can love this microphone you still this microphone and I find out you stole it I Can kick your butt over this microphone because I love this microphone. I love my possession I can love my shoes. I can love this desk I can love this this laptop you still this laptop and I find out you stole this laptop I'm calling the police on you and I'm sending you to jail for Grand theft or whatever it's called because it's over three hundred dollars So it's a grand theft or greater than petty theft, but I'm sending you to jail because I can love this laptop So see what that's what we have to understand about love a lot of people love their doll a Lot of people love their cat So love can be in many forms in many ways, but in love in love is a complete Exclusive love it is a all-inclusive All-exclusive Love meaning is one-on-one Meaning that this love is so deep This love is a sacrificial love to be in love You will be 100% faithful and you will not Intentionally hurt this person that you are in love with Sacrificial love meaning that you will die For this person I am in love with my wife.  I love my mother my father my sister But see in love is not just about blood relation In love is a choice You don't find in love You choose in love you don't fall in love you walk in love See if a person is hurting you Continuously intentionally They are not in love with you They may have love for you people say well, can you cheat on someone you love? Absolutely Because love is not all-inclusive. It's not all-exclusive You can I love this microphone, but I can cheat on this microphone with another microphone But if I am in love with this microphone This is going to be my mic and my brand and my thing forever There's a difference between love and in love and I want you to understand this and realize that Yes, people say oh no, you can't cheat on it. If they cheat on you, they don't love that's not true Because love can be love can simply mean a strong liking of you Love can just mean an affection for you Love does not mean that it is completely exclusive to you So you have to understand that There is a difference now when you are in love Love is strong enough To keep you faithful So if I'm in love with my purpose and my purpose is teaching healthy Relationships then guess what? Me being in this in this space I Am going to be 100% faithful to my wife Because I'm in love with my wife I'm in love with my purpose and I'm in love with God So I'm in love with my standard for living my belief system Me being a Christian me living a Christian lifestyle. I'm not in love with the church I'm not in love with religion. I'm in love with the lifestyle That a Christian lives the lifestyle that I'm living loving my neighbor as I love myself Being faithful to one woman not lying not stealing not killing I'm in love with the morals and the values and the standards Not the religiosity and the dogma and the greedy pastors. I'm not in love with that I'm in love with the principles and the teachings and the walk So me being in love there and me being in love here with my purpose Serving you Teaching you from my mistakes from my experiences from what I do every day as a loving relationship coach it allows me a certain level of access and a certain level of knowledge and wisdom and Understanding that may not be privy to you because you don't get to stay home and talk on the phone All day with people from around the world about love and relationships So what you hear may be limited in the experiences, you know, you don't have an inbox Like I have on Tony inbox at Tony gaskins.com that receives thousands of love stories Relationship stories. So your scope may not be as broad as mine So guess what? I take what I hear what I learn what I experience and I bring it to you to make your life better That's my purpose. I'm in love with my purpose I'm in love with my wife And you know why I'm in love with my wife because I allow her to love me and I allow myself to fall in love Allow her to love me and I allow myself to fall in love And the reason how I did that the way I did that is by being 100% faithful to her not cheating on her Emotionally or physically and so in the first two years, I was not 100% faithful Emotionally in my mind in my spirit. I was wavering. I was getting weak But then I made a decision at 25 years old Coming through the second year of marriage. I say I'm gonna be 100% locked in and focused I'm not gonna have wander and eyes looking around looking for opportunity to cheat. I'm gonna be locked in I'm gonna be different every single man. I know is a cheater and I'm gonna be different I'm going to see What this feels like I'm gonna see what happens When you love a woman purely wholeheartedly without lying without cheating Without deceiving without manipulating without controlling That is amazing the the feeling that I feel The grace that I feel The favor that I've received the blessings that have come From operating from a place of love. It is overwhelming. I am truly Truly the richest man on The planet I'm the richest man on the planet Because I allow love listen to what I'm telling you especially you men I Allow love to flow through me and To receive love and I don't keep count. My wife cannot out love me She cannot serve me more than I'm gonna serve her She cannot bless me more than I'm gonna bless her Because I'm allowing love to flow through me. It's not a competition. I'm not keeping score I'm not saying. Oh, you're not doing this. You're not doing that I'm not doing that. I'm not doing that. I'm just loving and then guess what she reciprocates that love she reciprocates that love and It is amazing and not even when she's not reciprocating even when she's not reciprocating it Just me loving her and being 100% committed and 100% faithful. I receive blessings from God The universe whatever you want to call it, but it is principle It's law That when you operate from love and you flow from love and you put good out good is gonna come back That's why I'm here today That's why I'm blessed on this level. You know Jeff Bezos Founder of Amazon just went through a divorce I'm richer than Jeff Jeff if you know Jeff you got Jeff email send this to Jeff Jeff You was the richest man in the world I'm worth more than you now I'm rich it in you because I'm operating from love When you operate from love me and my wife can go through a divorce tomorrow If I choose not to operate from love if I choose to be selfish If I choose not to make it work, that's why I wrote the book make it work Because in relationships, we are selfish. We are greedy We want it to be about us and we call ourselves. Oh, I've outgrown them. I've outgrown them. No, you grew in areas But they've also grown in areas. So both of you gonna grow in different areas.  See marriage What do you see on marriage on divorce? Irreconcilable differences, that's the problem You feel like you need to reconcile your differences There is strength in differences Not similarities So your irreconcilable differences is what's causing a divorce when really that should be the reason you're together Now if it's cheating if it's abuse or what have you that's totally different I'm gonna talk about that in another video. So you got to catch me next Sunday or on another Sunday where I'll talk about divorce but understand That if you are going through pain in your relationship If you're being lied to deceive manipulated taken for granted cheated on Your partner is not in love with you And I always get the question can a man love two women at the same time? Absolutely not If a man is juggling you and another woman, he is not in love with either one of y'all because to be in love in this way romantically only one person Because it consumes the heart you can only be in love romantically with one person I'm in love with my sons, but I'm in love with them in a different way not romantically You know, I love them. I love them. It's a deep love. I will kill for them. I will die for them. That's a deep love and That is a different love than the way I love my wife I will kill for her and I will die for her, but it's a romantic love. So it's a different type of love But understand it is all consuming. I can never disown my sons And and and own another child and say this not you're not my son You overhear my son, but this person don't come from me I cannot disown one of my sons for the other one because I love them. I'm in love with them So understand in love is all Consuming it consumes the heart. It takes everything. It takes everything in you It's pure It's holy It's righteous Look up those definitions. It's pure. It's holy. It's righteous It is blemish and spot-free. It does not mean that you won't make mistakes But it means your mistakes won't be intentional And when you make a mistake, you're gonna learn from the mistake and you're not gonna repeat that mistake Because you are in love Hey, this Tony Gaskins, I hope this kind of helps you understand whether you have love or in love Just my take on it.

Ghana increases salaries by 30% amid economic woes. Ghana has a mixed economy with both private and government participation. The country's main economic drivers are its natural resources, particularly gold, cocoa, and oil. The agriculture sector also plays an important role in the economy and employs a significant portion of the population. The services sector, including financial services, telecommunications, and tourism is also growing. The government of Ghana has implemented economic reforms in recent years to improve the business environment and attract foreign investment. These include measures to reduce inflation, improve the fiscal deficit, and liberalize the trade and investment regimes. Ghana is currently facing economic challenges, including a high rate of inflation, which is currently at a record 50.3%. This is a significant concern for the country, which was once described as Africa's shining star by the World Bank. In an effort to address these economic issues, Ghana's government and trade unions have announced that they have agreed to increase the salaries of all public servants by 30% for 2023. This increase is intended to help reduce debt and tackle inflation in the country. The decision was made after trade unions representing public service employees began negotiating salary rises with the government in November. The government of Ghana has also taken other measures to try to stabilize the economy. In March, the government announced sweeping spending cuts, including a lowering of minister's salaries to reduce the deficit, contain inflation, and slow the slide of the local currency. Despite these measures, the local currency, the CD, dropped heavily against the U.S. dollar last year as government spending cuts and central bank interest rate hikes failed to tame inflation. In addition, Ghana secured a staff level agreement with the IMF for $3 billion, three-year support package in December. However, the country needs to restructure its debt to access the funds. The government also launched a domestic debt exchange program last month and later said it would default on nearly all of its 28.4 billion dollar of external debts. The government also asked to restructure its bilateral debt under the G20 common framework platform this week as it continues to seek ways to address its economic challenges. These are some of the reasons why Ghana economy keep rising and among the best in Africa.


Hello and welcome to the Grand Line Review, your source for everything one piece. Today we have a review of episode 874, The Last Hope, The Sun Pirates Emerge. And this week the adaptation is really competent from a storytelling perspective. They took a lot of liberties with mixing up the order of events in the manga and adding some not-so-bad filler, and they still managed to hit most of the major beats of the chapter that was covered. Although having said that there were a lot of problems with the animation in general, which is a shame because it really brought the episode down from solid to But we'll start out with some positives so that we can hold off the irrationally angry commenters for that time being. And there are at least two decent uses of filler in this episode, one of which was right at the beginning when we saw Sanji return to the sunny. This might seem odd to anime only watchers, but that was not in the manga. He just appeared back on the ship, which was fine, but it's also nice to see him physically returning with Luffy. The much better piece of filler though was with beige in the fire tank pirates when the nostra castella was burning down. The way this was played was very reminiscent of going Mary's funeral, and I really like drawing that parallel because it further emphasises the similarities of other members of the worst generation to Luffy. Each of them could have been the protagonists of their own series. And moments like this helped because as much as we have no real attachment to the nostra castella, as viewers we have been through losing a ship before, so we can empathise with the fire tank pirates here and I think that was a great idea. The general pacing of the episode was also pretty decent. My biggest fear going into it is that we were going to spend far, far too much time on those various islands that we catch up with like Nuts Island and Cutlery Island because those are the moments that Toei will generally target to elongate, to no real benefit. And they definitely were elongated, especially the Nuts Island stuff where they included some Amand action. But hey, Moramand is never a bad thing, and there was a nice shot of her while all the citizens were wallowing in despair that made her look like these events were hitting her pretty hard and that she very much failed to protect her island, which was nice because it added a bit of depth to a character that we really didn't see much of in the manga. So yeah, that's at least three filler moments that actually added something during this episode. What did not add anything, however, was when we got to Judge and he did his whole speech about Sanji. Now I'm always critical about using flashbacks because they are more or less a waste of time. And the common argument in favor of their use is that they amp up the emotion behind a scene, which is sometimes true, like last week with the Raidju moment. But this week, while they might have provided a bit of that, they mainly served as a platform to allow Judge to speak much slower than he should have been in order to pat for time in the episode. So I'm not saying don't use flashbacks because some carefully chosen snippets would have served Judge's words quite well. Just don't ruin the pacing of a scene with them. Keep everything snappy because I know it's sometimes hard to remember with the one-piece anime, but more often than not, we are embroiled in situations where every second is integral for survival. So Judge speaking this damn slowly is irrational pace killing and a clear sign that the episode was in desperate need of extending to make its runtime. And there are similar moments in this very episode, like the hugely drawn out portions in regards to Big Mom and the cake, where we were like cutting to a reaction shot of beige and chiffon and it's all static, and then we had a long panning shot of the cake and then even Big Mom's mouth. And it's all just pointless. You can say that it builds tension, but tension for what? The cake does not get eaten this episode, so it's essentially baiting the audience into believing that what they've been waiting for is about to come just to rip it right out from under them and go lol nope, maybe next week eh? Or maybe next week we'll just have her scream wedding cake some more, to build up some tension for when she finally eats the cake like the week after or the week after that. Keep watching though, we promise we're not wasting your time. Alright we have gone a bit negative here, but I do want to reaffirm that for the most part the pacing of this episode was fine. It was just a few select moments that annoyed me, as well as like I said before the animation. I think meh is a good way to define the aesthetic appeal of this episode, a great example of which is Sanji's clash with Daifuku's genie, and my problem is that it had no real impact whatsoever. It certainly did not feel like a giant genie with incredible strength taking on a beast of a human. What it felt like was more akin to a gentle breeze, brushing a thin tree branch against, I don't know, another thin tree branch. And it's such a shame because I vividly remember that panel from the manga, because you look at it and you can feel the shock waves coming from that 2D page. It was glorious. The shot in the anime is also framed very differently, so I think that might be partially responsible for it, but overall there was just a lack of visual and auditory oomph when Sanji made contact with the genie, and that carried over into a lot of the episode. Like there was a point at which the sunny was being fired up by one of the fleets, and if you watch the cannonballs hitting the water there is no satisfying impact. It's like a three-step stop motion animation signifying their landing and it removes a lot of the sense of danger that we should have when our protagonists are being bombarded with a fleet of cannonballs. But the thing that probably annoyed me most was right at the end with the reveal of the sun pirates. Actually before we get into that one more good thing, the sequence of waratsumi emerging from the water was actually pretty great in terms of animation. Like yes it was sparse, but it accomplished exactly what it needed to, and it had a good sense of scale and destruction about it. But when we got to the sun pirates, I… how did this go so wrong? The shot of them all greeting Jinbe is just so… for lack of a better word… pedestrian? Look I can't show you here because I'll get flagged, but I encourage you all to look up the last page of chapter 899 and you will see what this shot should have been. It's a fantastic giant panel with a ton of depth featuring Aladdin in the foreground and waratsumi lurking wonderfully in the background with the sun pirates scattered in between. It's like the cavalry has just arrived and it gives you the idea that wow these guys are going to be a serious game changer as well as just being a beautifully drawn panel with once again incredible depth I cannot emphasize depth enough because in any 2d medium that is a core aesthetic concept, but the anime has none of this. All of the sun pirates are more or less on one visual plane, making the shot really flat and artificially making their forces feel weaker. I don't know about you guys but when I saw this shot in the anime my reaction was like what the hell are you guys doing here? You are going to get wrecked in an instant. There's just no power represented here. It was far from the hero shot that it should have been to cap off the episode and just yeah very poorly adapted. So yeah this episode is another mixed bag for me. Less story and pacing problems but full of strange direction and mediocre animation. But that pretty much does it for episode 874.

Welcome to Jalassette News to get top stories in crypto currency and Jalassette's and break them down into bite-sized pieces. Today we've got some great stuff. First up crypto long and short there's going to be four metrics that show how this bitcoin rally is different from 2017. We're going to take a look at some great data points but I can tell you right now the more things change the more they stay the same. Also massive run-up price in ethereum and the reason could be that the ethereum 2.0 deposits have hit 60% as the launch date looms which is December 1st. However it looks like there's still going to be a delay. What this is going to mean for the ethereum price today and moving on into the future. So we'll go over both those points but first take a look let's go on the market. So today it is the 23rd of November looks like we're almost at Thanksgiving for all of the US residents and this is my favorite holiday because I get to eat like a pig I don't really care so it should be a good time but before we get into that stuff let's take a look at the price action.  However it's almost a 15% for a seven day average and things are looking pretty darn good so great job for all you bitcoin and ethereum holders because ethereum went up on a tear today so it's almost 12% 32% for seven days and almost about to breach 600 and me and a couple of my friends have been texting back and forth and we had talked about wow bitcoin or ethereum might actually go above 500 wow I'm almost get might hit 550 I woke the day I'm like wow we're almost at 600 so I mean how high could this go well we're going to talk about that in the second article XRP yeah XRP tether is tether and it's got a market cap of 18 billion and then XRP I saw I'm sorry I hate I so I'm not that like doing this because I know the XRP army always listen to my videos they're like why do you skip over XRP and XRP look XRP is on a magnificent tear I mean I'm not gonna take anything away from it I'm actually very happy I mean everybody that has invested in XRP this is a great day for you guys and gals because you know you take a lot of flak so congratulations this is a pretty good day I personally will not sell until I hit my my points and it is it is way far away and the reason why I don't is because I'm super stubborn and I don't really care that's what it comes down to so XRP congratulations 22 percent for 24 hours and 100 percent look at that 100 percent for a week and they've reached the 50 cent mark so congratulations all you XRP holders including myself chain link 22 percent for the week 3.9 $14 almost 15 we're gonna get up to I think our all-time high of around 18 1850 for chain link and it's gonna be a great day I think it's gonna go up to in 2021 if I didn't make a guess I'd put it over 50 that's not financial advice I just kind of see where it's going I mean look there's other different oracles out there but chain link is one of the first it's got a lot of different people that they know again it's not what you know it's who you know and chain link has been making a lot of inroads into that so we'll see how it goes litecoin massive tear I mean look everything's not massive tear cardano finally above a dime it's at 15 cents at 15 51 percent for the week these are all seven-day average which just outstanding stellar 40 percent I still have to still but it's still at 11 cents so what are you gonna do 20 percent 33 percent look everything's up I'm not gonna dwell on this but if you had just had some strong hands you're having a pretty great week let's be honest and if you haven't well it's just like one of those things that you should remember that it's best a lot of times just to have strong hands and don't listen to the naysayers and just hold usually not usually but sometimes things work out that's all I'll say so it is a great great day great week and I think 2021 we're up for massive fireworks but I could be wrong let's bring in today's top stories so first up this is a great article this is written by who wrote this gallon more who's gallon more gallon more looks like a red sox fan he's also a senior research analyst at coin desk focus on developing metrics analysis for crypto asset investors he holds bitcoin ether ether so I got a false guy's writes a good article so it is an opinion piece but he lays it all out pretty slick with a lot of different data points and you can tell a lot of work went into this so galen thanks a lot what this all is is it really comes out of this this bull run which is happening right now in the next year is a little bit different than the 2017 and I agree and I don't agree like I said the more things change the more they stay the same they are there are still fundamentals that we should all adhere to one of those is not dumping everything going on it's different to go to the moon all the way up well we saw that on sunday which we did a video I talked about I go look bitcoin was at 186 when I woke up at because I usually got like 435 it was around 177 and it was a great opportunity to buy if I were to phone what in everything I would miss that opportunity to pick up some cheap bitcoin also some cheap ults so these are one of the things that we talk about but galen is right this is a different one and we're gonna lay it out in four points what those four points are our bitcoin whales and trading versus holding bitcoin versus ether regular versus offshore and north america versus east asia what am I talking about I'll tell you right now so bitcoin whales and trading versus holding there's two different graphs here and I'm it's interesting but it's not interesting uh because you have to take this with a grain of salt really is what it's talked about here because these are just addresses and it looks at how this blue line is let me let me blow it up this blue line here this is all the different bitcoin addresses that have more than more than than one bitcoin and you can see right here where it just massively jumped up during that 2017 crazy bull run and it was it was a lot of them however even though it went down even though it went down here and it went to the ground there still was a lot of addresses that were slowly accumulating and keeping up with that one bitcoin until until we're here we are today look at this massive spike but there is no massive spike in the actual addresses because people are starting to just get it that hey this is digital gold this is a great thing this is going to be this is going to change the world or bitcoin is digital gold it's scarce or really it's finite only 21 million and essentially it's insurance against this crazy market this quantitative easing unlike gold I can send it to anyone anywhere in the world within minutes for next to nothing it's the best performing asset class ever it's beaten gold oil stocks everything ever used with a nickel and now it's worth 18500 and it's why I'm heavily invested into it so I think people are just getting and understanding exactly what we're talking about here and they want to be a part of that so it's interesting but again it's just a little piece here and then there's another nice little whale graph here address is holding at least a thousand bitcoin see there was a huge run up here from 1213 14 and then just kind of leveled off a little bit and then all of a sudden these a thousand bitcoin addresses let me blow it up it went down when there was a huge spike because the smart money says I'm out of here and they just dumped bitcoin but now it looks what happens it's we're still having the same type of thing same thing and here we are to me I still look at this and I'm like I'm kind of worried about a dump at some point because you look at these points you're like okay here and then here and it's still going up and then of course this is going up so what happens at 50 000 there's gonna be another dump only time will tell but I can tell you right now the people that made the most money in cryptocurrency assets they didn't invest here they didn't invest here they're not investing here they invested right here right here when it was super boring and right here when it was everybody was afraid that's where all the money is made it's not made here and here it's what we all did and we all put in that hard work to invest when nobody wanted to invest remember that and then lastly and this is probably the one that I think is the most important it's traders versus investors on this channel I was really anti-trader when I first started this channel now I'm like if you want to trade go right ahead I don't care it's fun you know it's fun 10 and 20 percent maybe 30 percent of your portfolio trade away have a great time however I always say try to be more of an investor than a gambler or a trader because it really usually works out better for you if you just set it and forget it and this is one of those things where let me blow this up so back in the day in 2017 this orange line this is the investor portion of bitcoin and you still would see a lot of it right but then there was a rise there was a rise of trading bitcoin that was in 17 18 19 then around right here something happened in January 2019 where people just said you know what I'm done trading this I'm just gonna hold it because that's just what I want to do and then you see the traders they just kind of just tailed off and then the investors mostly what I do maybe what you do is we just kept holding and holding and holding and here we are today I think that's more of a metric of how this is really changed over time so okay so there's that those pieces now we're going to take a look at bitcoin versus ether and everything else so what we're talking about here well in 2017 all the way up to and this is very beginning to the very end you would see like this blue mark let me blow it up this blue mark here is ethereum and there was a massive massive spike because the ICO craze right but bitcoin just did its thing kind of boring man don't worry about me I'll go up and I just did that right but then of course ethereum was just hot hot massive and that kind of uh reversed here uh on November 2017 and of course we all know what happened then right but there was still some monstrous gains for ethereum from here to here bitcoin from here to here right all right fantastic however in 2020 we're still seeing the same type of thing right here so again in the light blue this is ethereum and the dark uh portion here here is uh bitcoin however 176 and 257 is not going to sneeze that I mean I'll still take either of them the question then is and as we come down here is which one is going to do better is it going to be ethereum or is it going to be bitcoin I don't know but that's why I'm heavy in both because I have no idea and I will just say this I forgot who said it but they they talked about if you just don't really understand you know yield farming and defy and things like that or these different projects just by ethereum because everything's built on ethereum and it makes sense right so we just do it that way and everything works itself out however this one is different and this is the chart this is the graph that pretty much lays it out as well and it talks about the bitcoin dominance let me blow this up bitcoin dominance is this gold piece right here this gold line and we can see in 2017 and q1 it was almost 90 dominant but then all of a sudden with the icl craze and and the explosion of different market cap gems that are out there uh it reversed and there was a huge amount of dominance of a large number of uh alt coins I'm not saying it was one alt coin obviously it was hundreds but that that's what happened and then of course down q4 q1 it kind of switched around and here we are right now as of today we're looking at between maybe around 55 percent or 58 percent uh dominance for bitcoin and then the alt coins are somewhere actually excuse me this is bitcoin dominance this isn't market cap dominance so we're looking at 55 percent and this is number of assets so back then wasn't that many now here we are around 80 plus uh different assets which are 95 percent of the market composition obviously there is like thousands out there but most of them suck and they don't really count but here's the rub and this was the interesting thing just like how we have the s and p 500 where we have a ton of different stocks that make up the top 500 stocks of the s and p 500 there's really only five assets that are the big major players in the space so if we're looking at a total market cap of 554 billion i mean 340 billion yeah 58 but then the next one is the big lion share 67 billion which is ethereum then we got 24 tadows at 18 and then we got five five fives fives and fours and then we kind of just go down to you know less than less than a billion but if you add those all up that is 95 percent of what's going on but again just like the s and p 500 the top five which are facebook apple amazon google netflix and microsoft so six excuse me make up like 25 and the numbers fluctuate so don't quote me of the entire s and p 500 and here we see the top five six seven those really make up the lion share of the entire market cap now we put them all together then it makes something else but right now this is what it is and back then that did not happen in 2017 there was very few and it was all bitcoin now it has definitely changed so the next part regulated versus offshore markets and this is all about institutions institutions are here institutions are here and we've got a huge massive i mean we've got everything from fidelity of assets eight trillion assets that are management we've got ameritrade with one trillion we've got van ekk who are big huge gold bugs and they just put this out uh just about a year ago which talks about how great bitcoin is compared to gold if you got a grayscale buying up everything you got the paul tutor jones says hey i'm taking two percent of my total investments putting the bitcoin features and that's what he talks about publicly and you got another legend uh billionaire hedge fund drach in miller on top of uh this just came out black rock the cio says hey cryptocurrency is here to stay and a black rocks getting into it well guess how much they have eight trillion assets under management on top of paypal which they just came in and they're they're driving the whole market on top of all these different publicly traded companies like micro strategy and galaxy digital who look are looking like geniuses especially michael salar because he went from 425 just two or three months ago and it's valued at 700 million because they bought so much bitcoin so look there is so much institutional play in here then you cannot deny that this is a very different market than what it was in 2017 however the more things change the more they say the same so open interest on the cme hit one billion this week which is an all-time high look at this chart this is crazy you go from just a little bit over here uh before september now or 12 october nothing really nine november now look at this amazing how greedy people get and so really just to sum this whole piece up is that institutional participation is growing with the rest of the market and you know we always talk about how institutions you know they're really great and they uh you know they have all these tricks and they're really strong hands well not really i mean look this was the bitcoin features open interest and remember in march when everything went down to the ground well it's the same thing here they said you know what we're out of here and we're on march when everything dropped in black thursday they dropped too and then off they go and then there was a piece that we just talked about there was a there was a banking ceo that had invested 200 million into bitcoin and he was just like it was too distracting and then he had weak hands and he sold it all off and he lost like first of all he bought 200 million and then as far as gains goes uh he as as of right now he's down 130 million what do you think's going to happen in 2021 so when we talk about like weak hands it's not just the regular retail people it's also the people that have been in the game as well so i feel like cryptocurrency is a proving ground to test your ability to hold on to assets because there is such wild swings traditional market if it goes down 2 percent 3 percent like that sucks and it kind of hurts but you know it really hurts losing 80 percent and then still holding on that takes balls and icing the veins so i get out of here and then the last piece here north america versus east asia investors and this was always something that i i uh had heard about how east asia was really gobbling up a lot of crypto and digital assets back in 2017 and even even before so even 2018 but there's been an inversion now if you can take a look at this this is the net inflow to eastern asia this is this gold piece here and it really was pretty high back in the day and then we had net inflow to north america which is this orange piece and it kind of was about the same right here and then it just kind of took off for eastern asia and really jumped up around late 2018 early 2019 and then we just had a big inversion right again right after january 2019 we just had this inversion just like the traders and investors looks like the orange piece here to north america is all the way at an all-time high and then down here for eastern asia all-time low and it's just an interesting piece that again this is definitely a different bull run so moving down the conclusion of the takeaway is this it is different but you have to make sure that you understand that these things they're not going to go to the moon we're going to have peaks and valleys dips and flows and we have to make sure that we have our discipline in place whatever that discipline is whatever planet is that you have in place i personally have a plan of discipline gives me freedom just like jaco talks about and i do that because i don't want to fall victim 2017 it's worked for me so far i want to make sure that i don't just fomo into projects and dump a lot of different funds into it because i know there's going to be a pullback there's going to be retracements it's going to be massive it could be small it could be big i don't know but i want to have that money back in my account in case it is needed and that's the big thing so that's it for that let me know what you think in the comment section and let's move on to our next piece this is a quick one ethereum jumped up to almost 600 and of course the reason is because of ethereum 2.0 is about to launch on december 1st and i was pretty leery about that my man hashochi had had a video when he talked about how there's only 10 percent that have been deposited for the staking for ethereum but and that's bad news but uh looks like we're right on track maybe potentially this is why so ethereum 2.0 deposit hits 60 percent as launch homes and just like a week ago or so we were at 10 percent now we're at 60 so hey maybe so but here's the thing the contract needs 16 000 validators by tomorrow to deploy on december 1st so what's going on so let's come down here so let's break out the numbers there's 315 000 plus eth has been deposited to the contract at the time of riding equating to 60 of the minimum target of 524 k the contract needs 16 000 validators to deploy as planned at 524 k ethereum genesis can occur linked to the development or deployment of the long-awaited beacon chain the deployment time is slated for 12 p.m on december 1st so we've only got like what eight days away or so some around there nine days no eight days but here's the rub it will only ship this planned if the contract hits the minimum seven days in advance this means it still needs another 208 000 eth in the next 24 hours to deploy on time so looks like you may not hit that but what a magnificent run i thought i was like wow 10 last week and maybe we get like 25 percent of time to launch but here we are at 60 so maybe it happens i don't know i mean there's uh miracles happen in crypto every day just about it seems like so maybe it could actually happen but i'm not really too worried about it because if we did we made up this much traction in this short amount of time even if it takes another week or two weeks hey no big deal but it does state this with the significant boost in the positive of the weekend it's looking increasing likely that ethereum 2.0 will ship before 2020 is out and again if it takes one or two weeks that's fine i don't really see that as a much of a big deal uh here's a nice little another another graph eth sent over time look at this that's a parabolic uh deposit so that's great but what does that mean for price well here's what it means for price so if you when you hear about the delay it's going to drop the price because people aren't going to really dig into it like ah theorem 2.0 delayed it's going to drop the price and that's why you want to have money on the sideline so you can scoop it up i believe that'll happen in the next 24 hours because they won't hit their goal so i don't think this is going to be sustainable right now once it gets stated make sure you're ready not financial advice is just what i'm going to do and you can buy in there at a flash sale but it doesn't only matter overall a theorem is going to be massive it's $10,000 coin and we're just the beginning so just be prepared and that's it so look that's it for today but there is one thing i want to make mention with this bull run coming up you want to make sure that you're protected make sure that you've got all your different passwords and everything else in the right thing i use the stone book it's water resistant it's smudge resistant you can do this cool like james bond ghost pen hydra writing all that great stuff right and like i said again you can put everything in there i've got a couple one is at my house one is at my safety deposit box in my bank because i want to make sure that all of my seed phrases are there you can pick this up in the description below it's in every one of my videos now and you just click on there and freddy has been gracious enough to give a 20% discount for people who watch digital asset news so go and pick up one of those if you need one and that is it for today so thanks for sticking with me i truly appreciate it if you like these types of videos there's gonna be two months gonna pop up on your left and right i'll let youtube do its magic and that's it so have some strong hands and i'll see you in the next one
