Welcome to Jalassa News. Take a top stories in crypto and break it down into bite-sized pieces. Today, just as a thumbnail suggests, you are going to be tested. And if getting rich was easy, everybody would be. So we're going to take a look at what is going on in the market and what I call second to last. We're going to take a look at all the longs that were liquidated. We're going to talk about how Bitcoin is dead. And we're going to take a look at potentially a brighter outlook. So before we get started, let's take a look at exactly what is going on in the market. And it is not pretty, I must admit. I mean, we've got the market cap of 2.5 trillion seemed to have misplaced about a half a trillion dollars somewhere. I don't know where I put that 500 billion, maybe under the couch. I have no idea. But here we are. But what's interesting though is that the daily sentiment for Bitcoin is actually pretty neutral. I mean, it's like, we all know where this is going. So we're like, let's just get on with it because it's not a big deal. But it is a big deal to some people. I'll talk about in a second. So Bitcoin price is 5777, everything's down. I don't think we need to go over that. I don't want to pour more salt into the wound. So let's just break into it and talk about what the heck is going on. When I say second to last, it's because you're going to hear a lot of things today. You're going to hear a lot of things, different YouTube channels.   This could be one of those things where there's massive manipulation. We can take a look at different things that are going on as far as like on-chain analysis, which we will do, but just so you know, in all the long run and what is going on in all honesty, it's not a big deal. It's not really that big of a deal right now for me. I'm going to tell you why it's not. And this is going to sound, take it as you will, but I will just say this, it's not as a big of a deal because I've already been here. And if you're watching this, this video right now and you've found my channel, this is the first two, sorry, this is not the greatest day for you, especially if you're going from the additional market space. But if not, you've been here for a while, you know, this is just a Thursday in all honesty. And when I've been talking about this beforehand, where I was talking about taking small profits, dollar cost averaging in, dollar cost averaging out, taking small profits along the way, I meant it. That's why when you see me, when I'm talking in these videos, I'm not freaking out because it's not that big of a thing. First of all, know where we're going. Second of all, I have profits on the sideline to where I can do the things that I really want to do. And this is the important thing. So when we talk about this and you're like, well, Rob, you should have just held on for the whole time and really take taking it all the way at the top. There is no top. That's the thing.  It doesn't matter. It's all about what your goals are. My goals are not your goals. So when I talk about these things that I'm doing, these are just the things that work out for me. So when we take a look at the market itself, yes, we can see that quite a bit of a precipitous dip, as we can say. I mean, look at this. This is over the four-hour timeframe. And we've taken quite the plunge. Look at that candle. Ouchy, 56.8. And we have been knocking on the door of 60K for quite some time, somewhere around here. It was kind of like that floor. But every time you hit that support level, eventually it will break down. And it did. It's broken down and then here we are. However, I will say this, take a look at the actual RSI. We can see that, hey, you know what? As far as the relative strength index, we are oversold. We are now in oversold territory. Actually, it didn't twice as it was going down. We hit it again. So right now, the Bitcoin and the entire crypto market is pretty much being sold off because people are panicking. I don't know why, but whatever. So that's exactly where we are. And now some people will say, Rob, wipe off accumulation. There's things going on behind the scenes. Yeah, sure. Why not? Of course, there's people. As long as greed exists, people will sell off like crazy. And it doesn't matter the micro strategies and the gray scales that are out there that are just the diamond of diamondist hands. It doesn't matter. At some point, people will sell off and they'll do this and they'll be cycles. And that's it.  And because I've been around the block, not a big deal. So we can say that, yes, there's probably some accumulation. There's probably some whale games and going on, but sure, that's what we get. However, let's take a look at just some things that I find interesting as far as like on chain analysis. And if you missed the video from yesterday, it was me and Kee Young-Joo from the CEO over at CryptoQuant. And we just talked about the five different on chain analysis technicals you should take a look at. And this is one of them. It's called Bitcoin All Exchanges Estimated Leverage Ratio. And we go above the mark of 2.0. It is beyond high. And I can just tell you right now, as we just creep up here where time has gone on, people got greedy. And when people get greedy, you get slaughtered. What's the term pigs get slaughtered? Something gets something. I don't forget. Tell me in the comment section, but it just means that if you're greedy, you're going to get stuck. And that's exactly what happened. Once we see here as this leverage ratio has been rapidly ascending, 0.19 was pretty high. And then we hit 0.2. And when me and Kee were talking about it, we're like, that is ridiculously high. And what does that mean? Well, what that means then is that you're going to have a bunch of this. This is where this is this is not going called coin glass, not buy, but I got to make sure I say that correctly. But this is all the liquidated the all the liquidations and everything I got liquidated were longs. They were longs because people were like, I know where Bitcoin's going. I know what the market is. I'm a genius. You may be. But in all honesty, when you start to do leverage trades and you go super long and you're way outside your realm of scope of intelligence, I know my limits. And I'm not doing going down these roads, but you see people get long. And that's where you're going to hear about people getting caught short and they lost a lot of money. Now, I mean, kudos to you for trying it out. I'm not telling you not to do it. I'm just telling you, I don't do it. And this is what happens because when you go when you have so many people going long, all the smart money, reasonably smart, halfway intelligent, I guess people will look and say, wow, there's a lot of people going long. I should just go short. I should go short and make a killing. And that's exactly what happened. So we have on top of that, we also take a look at what's going on the last 12 hours. So long got liquidated. And then the shorts are like, I can do that. I can keep doing that. And now we're going to see even more shorts come up. Now let's take a look. This is 12 hours, take a look at 24 hours, still a lot more. But as time goes on and things start getting liquidated, four hours, 30 minutes. Now you see the tide change just a little bit and people are like, you know what, I don't know, maybe I will or I won't, but you'll see that the shorts are actually coming up even more so.  Maybe I should go long. And that leads me to one of my next topics, which is Bitcoin is dead. Bitcoin is dead. I'm sorry to tell you.  And there's this great website called 99Bitcoins. And this is what you have to remember right now. Of course, Bitcoin's not dead, just being ceasious. But if you take a look here, this is funny.  It's really, probably why he's not making any money. It's just speculating. So speculator would be probably good. $67,000, $68,000 right around here, $67,000. They're like, no, it's a delusion. It's a delusion and never go through. That's just a month ago. If we just back up over six months, this is all the time that Bitcoin has been called dead.  And then of course, this is, I mean, look at this. It was dead at $29,000. It was dead at $32,000. Now let's take a look at a year. It's always dead. It's always dying. All the naysayers are saying the same thing, as far as like, not just Bitcoin, but the crypto market in general. Now if we even zoom up even farther, and this is what we really have to do at all times, look at all of these deaths. It's over, I want to say it's over 400 times that the lame stream media has called out and said Bitcoin is dead. Wow. It's 40 times 2021. It's pretty good. 2017, 124. It's not amazing, 2017, when we had that huge bullhorn last time. That was the most times it was called dead because of the parabola bullhorn.  That's just really what it comes down to. So if we take a look here and we think to ourselves, man, if everybody seems to get it right, then why does the price keep going up? Now there's volatility to be sure, but that is essentially where we're at. And I think it comes out of this. If you take a look and see about what's going on, there's a bright outlook. I think there's a bright outlook. Take a look at this. I did this poll about 10 minutes ago. Well, no, excuse me about two hours ago. And I just asked the question. I go, look, it's January 1st, 2022, and the crypto market has been around $3 trillion with most crypto trading sideways. I'm just saying if that happens, what do you do? And I thought there'd be a lot more people going, I'm going to sell. This is over a thousand people have already voted. They go, no, I'm just going to either buy more. I'm going to keep hodling.  It is. People are going to sell. They get scared because they're just new to it. That's okay. But as time goes on, you got to realize that if we just kind of zoom out and see where things really are going, it's usually in an upward momentum. And this is why I say it's a dollar cost average in and then take a little profits on the way. So you don't freak out when days like this happen and you have dry powder on the sides and you can do whatever you want with it. And that could be even buying these dips and things like that. But again, my goals aren't your goals. And this is not investment advice, just investment opinion. So I think that's a pretty good, good play as far as where things are going. And I think a lot of people who've been here for a while understand that it's okay. And it's going to be all right. Now on top of that, I want to talk real quick about some more good news. And you know, I'm big in the metaverse now. I'm trying to be trying to understand it. I try to reach out to people way smarter than me, which isn't hard, by the way. A lot of people are smarter than me. But I signed up for email notifications from Decentraland. And I got this nice email that, so check this out. In Decentraland right now, the artist known as Banksy is selling one of his paintings. And that is going to be through SouthBees. And you can pick that up as far as paying for an Ethereum. Imagine. And it looks, I don't know if this will come up. Yeah, let me read. So yeah, when I click on that link in the email, it drops me right at the place of SouthBees, so I can bid on Banksy painting. So when we talk about like where things are going in the future, I think it's just good news because like, when I talked about purchasing virtual land, people were like, a lot of people are like, oh, okay, it makes sense. But some people are like, I don't get it, which is okay. It's very difficult to understand, especially when we, when we first started to realize about Bitcoin, like that doesn't make any sense. Now we're like, oh, it makes total sense. Same thing with virtual land and Decentraland and Sandbox and all those different places. But so like here, guess what? These guys, SouthBees, they paid a pretty nice price for this virtual land to sell to globally everybody who wants to come in here, not just have one location in SouthBees, but you can go in there and you can look at it, and it makes a lot of sense to me. So on top of that, there's also another piece in this email that said, hey, guess what? Barbados opens the first virtual embassy in Decentraland. Last Sunday, the Barbadian ministry signed an agreement with Decentraland to establish the world's very first digital embassy, and it sets a precedent for world governments. So right now, I know people are like, this market, what the heck? You got to remember, it's just one day, it's just one hour. If we just zoom out and take a look at the future, the future is pretty bright, I think. And then lastly, I will talk real quickly about this, even India, which has been kind of wishy-washy on crypto at one point, the world, not the world bank, the high court in India tried to ban cryptocurrency, it went back and forth. And now you've got India's prime minister, Narendra Modi, I think I said that right, continues to collaborate on Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. And just real quick, I'll just say, prime minister of India urged democratic countries to work together to ensure that crypto doesn't fall into the wrong hands, meaning he wants to get a little bit around it and actually support it. That's how I read it. Meanwhile, the Modi government is working on a regulatory framework for cryptocurrency in India, which is good, because they're not like, we're going to ban it. They're like, no, no, we want to get some kind of framework a little bit around it. And that's fine. Look, can't win them all. So lastly, this was the most telling, the prime minister under Australia and India's partners in the Indo-Pacific region and beyond to invest together in future tech to deepen intelligence and operational cooperation and develop common standards and data and blah, blah, blah. So look, a lot of good things on the horizon. It just, when you look at the price in one day, it just sucks some days. And this is one of those sucky days. But again, getting rich was easy. Everybody would do it. And that's it. So look, if it made it all the way to the end, I hope we feel a little bit better about what's going on today. Not a big deal. If you don't like the price, just wait a little change. But if you like today's video, got a little value, consider giving it a little thumbs up, a little like, consider subscribing. That's it for today. So thanks so much for watching. I appreciate it. See you on the next one.


Jackson? What are we doing? I'm watching you take the bottom of this off. I've covered it in other videos why we take the bottom of the canvas to this off. Basically it's so that it's easier to clean up the drips after you're done with it. Yeah, we've gone over it because you talked about how it's best to lift the last one and how you have to go in order. You know, it's a little easier to take the tape off all at one time. Makes it a lot easier. We usually leave the tape on for like two or three hours just till it's not like actually dripping anymore. And if you forget about it, set a timer. But if you forget, you can always hit it with a heat gun real quick and it loosens it up. What? It'll loosen it up so that it's easier to take the tape off. Is this for something? Well, we need to dry this off. It's chilly here in Dallas, so... It is, but it's supposed... Okay, so right now it's probably like 30. It's not that cold. 80 degrees? Yeah, about 40 maybe. Cheers. Cheers. Oh, cheers because we got the white and gold marble job that we told you guys about and showed you the test piece for. We start that tomorrow, high 60s month. Tomorrow? Thursday. Thursday? Start Thursday. It's supposed to be in the high 60s almost 70. Thursday. And this is going to be our giveaway. And we're doing giveaways for next month, for March. We're going to do the contest this month. Give it away next month. So here's your piece. Wally is mixing that. I'm going to tell you guys a little bit about our contest. We would have posted this information sooner, but I didn't know that like Facebook rule... Nope. Where am I? YouTube. YouTube rules for giveaways, contests, and sweepstakes is so in-depth. Like you would think we were actually trying to run an actual lotto. So as far as I can tell, and all the research I did, I can't even do a giveaway to like people in... Where was it? Canada. Parts of Canada, such as the Q. I wanted to say Quebec, but I feel like Quebec's not in Canada. I don't know. I can't even include places outside of the U.S. because I don't... I'm not familiar with the legalities behind contests, sweepstakes, giveaways, and lottoes. And I'm not trying to be like arrested and locked up abroad or even put in YouTube jail. So to keep it simple, for now, we're going to just do this month until I can do more research. We're just doing the giveaway, the contest for the United States only. And why don't I just pull one into the other? So I hate that, but for now, it's the easiest, least likely that I'll get in trouble method for this contest. And basically, I have notes somewhere, but I don't know where those are. Basically, what it comes down to, the contest is from... What's the day, the 13th? Oh my God, it's so thin. We had to warm up our resin because it's so cold here. All we did is put our resin in. You didn't tell him you put it in warm water. He just said it's cold here. You didn't say it all. So the contest is 13. So the contest is going to run from the 16th of February to the 16th of March. And on the 17th of March, we're going to do a video, possibly live video, if I can figure out how to do that before then, a live drawing or recorded drawing for the winner of a piece of art. This will be one of the options for that piece of artwork. The contest is the giveaway. The giveaway is that we're going to post this video and one other video of a resin painting. And I just need you guys to comment on which one you like the best. So whichever one you like the best, comment and let us know. And whichever one has the most votes will be the one to give away. And every comment is an entry for said giveaway. So that's all you have to do to enter. And we'll, yeah, and we'll do another video that has a drawing and announces the winner. And then we'll ship it to you. Hopefully I can figure out how to include not US continent areas, because I know a lot of you guys aren't in the United States. Right. Back to the art. That was me. Back to it. If you thin your resin out by putting it in warm water for about 10 minutes before you use it. It's super thin and you have to mix in your paint very well or else you're going to end up with chunks of paint. Even if it's like an ink, you have to mix it in super well or you'll know where you didn't mix it in well. The first paint we're using is a light body metallic acrylic by Lumere. It's jacquard paint in number 575 highlight violet. It's like a white with an iridescent purple sheen. The next one we're doing is what I did. It's one of the colors I did for the um my favorite resin piece so far. The uh that geofeder cell. Oh, speaking of cells, we want to do some of this spray paint white because that's what sells up so well. So this deep blue is a turquoise by Bombay. It's an indian ink in the color turquoise. It's a doc martin. The pink is magenta. Also Bombay doc martin indian ink. The purple is a perlex powder by jacquard. It's a pigment powder and the color reflects the violet. Also your that most of these are like metallic. Super nice. Yeah and a lot of you asked us about this gold that we use. It's actually a body paint that he can tell you more about. Well normally you mix it with a mixing mixing medium. Basically paint it on paint on your body or the face like it's it's in this very metallic. I mean even we paint it on on somebody it's actually way more metallic than it shows here. You have to put it clear so that it runs on it. Maybe you should I just take this iridescent and just because it doesn't look like it's very present. This looks just crazy. You guys let me just I know you'll see it in the GoPro video but how stunning is this. It's a little chaotic but I'm not mad at it. I think it's beautiful. I wish the light was working better. This looks like like garland like what how is that. No like tinsel like don't get rid of that. Don't blow that. I can't wait till this thing dries. This looks like little flowers everywhere. I can't get it in it. That sounded bad but okay got it in there.


If you are looking for a powerful gaming laptop without having to play with it on the streets afterwards, the Asus FX502VM surely is a great choice. Welcome to laptop media. The laptop offers an exceptionally fast GTX 1060 GPU paired with a quad-core Intel Core i7-6700HQ processor for almost half the price of other similarly configured machines. You can check the laptop's price in the description below. The design concept sports a brushed aluminum lid and plastic all around. The bottom piece uses a hard plastic surface with interesting ornaments like the ones on the GIL502 and even the grills are positioned similarly. Only the ROG logo is missing. The back of the machine integrates two big vent openings for pushing the hot air out. Opening the laptop we see a strong resemblance between this one and the recently released Asus ROG gaming notebooks. It's made of plastic imitating brushed aluminum. The keyboard feels clicky, stable and typing on it won't take much time to adjust. However, we feel that the key travel is shorter than it should be for gaming. Sometimes the clicky feedback just isn't enough for a comfortable gaming experience. We were also disappointed by the touchpad, which seemed to be really jumpy and inaccurate times, but I doubt that you'll start gaming without an external mouse. You seem to be really vocal about TN panels in the comments and unfortunately the FX502VM uses one as well. It offers narrow viewing angles. Surprisingly for TN panel the maximum recorded brightness is slightly above average. We recorded 233 nits in the middle and 221 nits as average across the surface. The cover temperature is really close to the optimal 6700K. The display covers nearly 51% of all sRGB covers. This is insufficient for a good multimedia or gaming experience. Fortunately for those of you interested in the laptop we develop unique profiles tailored for this laptop and many other models. We will show you just how easy they could be purchased in use to enhance your viewing ability. We recommend you do profile so you would have a better usage of your laptop. Firstly, for working with Photoshop, Coral Draw or just overall usage of the laptop, we'd recommend you the Officework web design profile that will maximize the FX502VM's cover accuracy. You can see main and additional covers with 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% saturation inside the sRGB gamut pre and post calibration. We've created a profile with 114 nits luminance, cover temperature of 6500K and a gamma set to 2.2. We tested the accuracy of the display with 24 commonly used covers. You can check out the results at factory condition and also with the Officework web design profile. The next figure shows how well the display is able to reproduce really dark parts of an image which is essential when watching movies or playing games in low ambient light. The left side of the image represents the display with stock settings where the right one is with our gaming and movie nights profile which upon activation will make your gaming experience better. More information about the display profiles can be found in the description below. You can easily check for yourself how your display handles the darkest nuances. One of the most important things for proper gamers in a machine is the screen's response time. We recorded a full time plus rice time of 15.1 milliseconds. This is a fairly fast response time for a notebook display. We were pleased to see that the display doesn't use PWM at all. All brightness levels are flicker free and thus the display can be used for prolonged periods of time. Nevertheless, you can always use our health card profile that will completely eliminate the screen flickering and will also reduce the harmful blue light emissions while keeping the covers of the screen perceptually accurate. Just check the laptop media website for your notebooks model because every profile we make is individual. If you are not familiar with the hand from blue light emissions you can learn more about it in our specialized article that I will link in the top right corner of this video. The other two profiles will improve visibility while gaming and watching movies and enhance our accuracy. Again, the purchase link of all of our profiles can be found in the description of this video. The motherboard integrates a soldered 8GB DDR4 chip and for a notebook of this kind offers only one free slot. You can only upgrade the machine with up to 24GB which is more than enough for a general user and for gaming. As expected, the laptop offers a 2.5-inch 1TB hard drive manufactured by HGST spinning at 7200 rpm as well as an M2 PCIe NVMe enabled SSD slot. Since we reviewed the very basic model, the latter was empty. The FX502 VM sports a relatively big battery rated at 64Wh but since the notebook features the latest generation NVIDIA Pascal GPU, the integrated GPU of the processor is out of the equation and thus delivers subpar battery performance. For average user and web browsing it withstands for around 3 hours and 30 minutes while the gaming battery test took its toll and from the notebook you can take out around an hour and 28 minutes of playtime. The Skylake Intel Core i7-6700HQ has 4 cores sticking at 2.6GHz and can go up to 3.5GHz for one active core and 3.1GHz for 4 active cores. The CPU is suitable for heavy applications in gaming. We compare the Asus FX502 VM with other notebooks with the same CPU. You can check the full review and more information about the CPU in the laptop media website. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 GPU aims to be the mid-tier graphics card from the Pascal generation offering similar or even better performance than last year's GTX 970M and 980M. The GPU also features the same amount of cooler cores as its desktop counterpart, 1280, and it's clocked at the same frequencies, 1506 and 1708MHz. The extreme nature of the stress test that we perform isn't a good representation of a real life situation but at the same time it's the best way to determine the cooling capabilities and the stability of the system in the long run. We started off with 100% CPU load and we were pleased to see that the notebook keeping relatively normal temperatures while utilizing the full clock speeds 3.1GHz for 4 active cores. Unfortunately though after turning on the GPU stress test as well, things went south really fast. The CPU reached dangerously high temperatures while the GPU's frequency slowly decreased and the system shut down to prevent any damage due to the high inner temperatures. While we were expecting a bit hotter than usual casing considering the thin profile of cores, we actually didn't expect the notebook to shut down by itself. While this seems alarming just keep in mind that the extreme nature of this stress test forced a system shutdown. This will never happen during normal gameplay but it's a clear sign of failed cooling design nonetheless. Also, since the system shut down before we were able to measure the surface temperatures, here's a heat map during normal gameplay. As you can see the upper part of the keyboard tray between the hinges and the center of the keyboard gets hot. To be exact, the hottest point reached 54°C. Regardless the palm rest area remained cool. All in all the FX502VM is a powerful gaming notebook with impressive hardware for the asking price but as with every performance centric laptop you will have to make some serious sacrifices along the way. The real problem with the notebook is the unreliable cooling system which keeps the internals hot under load. Along with the cooling system there is a serious issue with the screen as well. Asus uses a lackluster TN panel to keep the cost slow which can be considered okay for some users but we really would have appreciated a better TN panel or a budget IPS solution at the very least. So do we recommend the Asus FX502VM? Well, it really depends on your needs. If the extremely good price performance ratio is the most important factor then, yes it's really worth considering. But if you are looking for a more balanced solution we suggest looking elsewhere. Thank you for watching laptop media, we have many more reviews waiting for you in our channel.

The mechanisms of angiogenesis in alveolar soft-part sacoma, ASPS, remain to be explored. Here, the authors highlight the role of the ASPS-CR1-TFE3 fusion in regulating superenhancer activity during the angiogenic process in ASPS. This article was authored by Mewa Tanaka, Surakha Dutuihob, Mizikiam, and others.


YouTube star and co-host MrBeast Chris Tyson has been making headlines since revealing he has begun hormone replacement therapy and reportedly transitioning from male to female. Now the news not only shocked fans but many are canceling Chris altogether because he's portrayed himself as a masculine family man and now it appears that he's abandoning and betraying his wife and young son in the process. It's obviously a complicated situation but we'll uncover what we know about Chris Tyson's transformation and backstory in this before and after. Chris Tyson aka MrBeast's sidekick has shared that he has begun what he calls life-saving hormone replacement therapy a couple of months ago. The 26 year old is being met with controversy due to the fact that he's a married man with a son and many believe that this is a betrayal to his family. TikTok is abound with opinions and news on the subject with creators spilling what they know about Chris's gender journey. Christopher Tyson known as Chris to much of the internet is a YouTube star who rose to fame as the co-host to MrBeast appearing in most of the videos alongside Jimmy or MrBeast. Born in 1996, Chris has described himself in the past as a country boy growing up as a boy scout and apparently it does the most work in their survival challenges. He grew up in North Carolina and still lives there today. Chris and Jimmy created the channel in 2012 and since then MrBeast has grown to over 144 million subscribers. These days Chris is one of the only people that is consistently appearing on the channel and he's also the main host of the channel Beast Reacts.  But his wild antics have always kept things flowing well. In terms of his personal life, Chris has a wife Katie Tyson and in June 2020 they welcomed their son Tucker together. In November of the same year, Chris further came out to fans on his alt Twitter account as bisexual which also came as a surprise to fans back then. Most recently, internet is a buzz with Chris opening up about his gender identity after people speculating online about his new look. Chris claims he started life-saving hormone replacement therapy two months back and that his physical appearance has already started to change following this. The 26 year old spoke about HRT in response to a Twitter user who compared an old and new photo of Chris and this he said HRT and it's only been two months. Hormone replacement therapy or HRT in Chris's case is feminizing hormone replacement therapy and this is when a doctor administers hormone medications to lessen male physical characteristics and increase female ones. People assigned male at birth are typically prescribed estrogen since it blocks testosterone and allows people to better align with their feminine gender identity. Chris also went on to post a link to a tweet from their alt Twitter account recounting how informed HRT helped save their life saying, informed consent HRT saved mine and many others lives, replying to a tweet that claimed that conservatives are trying to erase the trans community. Chris continued, The hurdles GNC, gender non-conforming people have to jump through to get life-saving, gender-affirming health care in a first world country is wild to me. Just let people make informed decisions about their own bodies.  However, introducing higher levels of sex hormones can have serious risks. Including raising the risk of heart attacks, strokes and blood clots. Chris has a lot of people talking as he was beginning to don a new look, including longer hair, dressing increasingly more feminine as well as wearing some makeup and previously showing off his long painted nails. Kind of like these. Chris revealed that they were originally hesitant about opening up about their journey saying, I was super nervous to be public about this because I've always been so private when it comes to this, but seeing conversations started because of me is amazing. He said he struggled with gender dysmorphia for some years and was learning about it for reported 21 years after discovering his sister's dresses and going through her closet. In fact, he claimed that becoming a parent to his 2 year old son Tucker actually helped with his decision to start the treatment. The YouTuber tweeted about this alongside a photo of him and his son.  He's taught me so much about myself in such a short time. I can't wait to learn through life together. The number of people who are transgender as well as those who undergo surgery and hormone therapy to transition has increased immensely in recent years, particularly in the US. Chris's reveal couldn't have been more timely since the US is currently plagued by an anti-LGBTQ plus legislation with a focus on trans and gender non-conforming individuals. In some states, there are even denying trans and non-gender conforming individuals from vital and gender-affirming healthcare. In case you didn't know, gender-affirming healthcare includes hormone replacement therapy and surgeries, while some also receive speech therapy, family therapy, counseling, puberty blockers, and things like that. One accusation Chris experienced from those objecting to him undergoing gender-affirming care said Tyson's child had lost a quote-unquote father figure. In response, Chris wrote that their child Tucker is loved and happy and that the insult is just quote-unquote more dog-wisling that somehow trans and gender non-conforming folks aren't safe around kids. And added, I made this decision because I wanted to show up as my best and happiest self for him. Speaking of Chris's son, he also still has a wife, Katie Tyson, whom he married in June 2018 and is the mother of his child. This is a major reason why Chris is getting so-called cancelled because he's maintained the image of a family man all these years and now appears to be betraying and abandoning Katie and Tucker. It's unclear what the pair's relationship status is after Chris announced his HRT treatment, but rumors are abound that they've separated. On Reddit, many are discussing and wondering if they're divorced since Chris never posts photos with Katie anymore, neither does she. One user answered, claiming, they're together still and live in the same house, but Chris is becoming more liberal and agnostic, while Katie is still a conservative Christian. I wouldn't be surprised if that's causing conflict between them.  However, neither Chris nor Katie have addressed any of the rumors. Katie is also an influencer over on Instagram and has an Amazon page where she promotes a range of products such as clothing dupes, household and kitchen items, home decor and more. Over on her Instagram, she hasn't posted any photos with Chris since December 2021. In February 2023, Chris did comment on one of Katie's photos featuring their son, writing, Tucker's tail from your ponytail in the first picture is so cute. As mentioned in the past, Chris also revealed that he's bisexual and in April 2023, he reaffirmed his sexuality with a tweet saying, I'm 99.9% sure I still like both genders lol. Another rumor that fans have often created theories about is that Chris is dating his other co-host, Carl, from MrBeast. Fans of the show have coined the term the Carl Effect because they believe MrBeast's team member, Carl Jacobs, has a negative effect on others in their group. Many also suspect that Carl and Chris spend a lot of time together and that could be a reason why Chris started dressing differently and much like Carl and that Chris and Katie might have grown apart due to this Carl Effect. But there's no evidence to back up these claims. Either way, for now, that is all we know about Chris Tyson's gender identity journey and his transformation. So that's going to wrap up today's before and after. But before we go, answer this question for me. Do any of you MrBeast fans out there believe in this so-called Carl Effect?
