Welcome to Jalassette News, take a top story using crypt of currency and Jalassette's and break them down into bite-sized pieces today. That's pretty good stuff. First up, stealth phase over why Wall Street FOMO will make 20k Bitcoin look cheap. This is a fantastic article written by Alan Scott and it looks at what is going on behind the scenes as everything in the background is being accumulated secretly, but not so much anymore. Also, how about that election, huh? Well, blockchain voting is the alternative for trusted democratic elections. We're going to take a look at what are the options and what we can do hopefully next time. And we're going to do a cue of the day from Lucas and Lucas asked the question is, is everything outside of Bitcoin a scam? And I've got just the guy to answer that question. So we'll go over all that, but first take a look at what's going on in the market. So today is Saturday, the 14th of November, looks like it's 11am, Texas time. Everything's a little bit of a slide, but that is to be expected in the crypto asset game. We're not going to go up forever. There's going to be a little bit of peaks and valleys. And today is one of those days. So Bitcoin is down almost 2% and has slumped below the 16k mark. It looks like we're at 15.8. So not surprising. Actually would be surprised if it didn't fall down a little bit more. Ethereum is at 450, but hey, still sticking there. So I'm pretty happy about that. Down 2.5% and not too bad. Another, still around 17, 7 billion. So that's pretty great. XRP is still at 26 cents. And yesterday I said, hey, congratulations to all the XRP holders. And someone said, this is the first time I've heard you say anything positive about XRP. And if I've been very tough on XRP, it's because I'm one of those people who has bought it a long time ago. I think XRP could do something. I think it'd be great. I just, there has to be a lot of things to happen for that to happen to actually make it. And we'll see how it all works out. But it really is, to me, just disappointing right now. He's like that talented kid on your football team that could do so much. Just hasn't really done it. But we'll see what happens. Chain legs down 1.5%. Looks like it's around 12.50. Up 2.7 for the week. So that's not too bad. Hopefully I can hit a $13 mark and off we go. Bitcoin cash, nothing. Polkadot? Not too much. Ooh, light coins down 5%. 3.7 for Cardano, 2%. What is up? Let's just ask that question. What's up? Uniswap is up. Hey, it's almost at 4. I'll take it. 44% for the week. Fantastic. And of course, Celsius is almost going to hit $2. Actually, it's $1.90. So 3.7 for the day, 2.4. But remember, it did take a big hit, or a little bit of a hit from yesterday because there was some issues with the website and the app and DNS propagation and blah, blah, blah. I'm not going to go into it. Watch yesterday's video. I'll explain it all in detail. And that's what's going on. What else is there? Anything? Gee, synthetics down 7%. That's pretty bad. Compound up 8%. 21% for the week. So congratulations, all you compound holders. It looks like you're one of the few winners for today. All right, let's break in today's top story. So first up, stealth phase over. Is this what's going on as far as Wall Street FOMO? And this is the kind of impression I've gotten because in 2017, nobody in the institutions really talked about Bitcoin or cryptocurrency.  And no one would ever do that. And even the banks were going to talk about firing their employees if they invested into it. But now it seems like Wall Street and big institutions and big legendary players are like, yeah, makes sense. So I think if they were accumulating secretly, PS, I think they were, the cat's out of the bag. And I think there's going to be some fireworks in 2021. It's what I've always said, but we will see. So this is a fantastic article by Alan Scott. So let's see what he's got to say. So price of Bitcoin is up 125% year to date, even though it's down today. Making it once again the best performing asset just that has been for the past decade. And if you don't know Bitcoin, to a lesser extent Ethereum is one of the top or if not the top assets for the last decade. And also if you can take a look at it of all time, it's beaten gold, it's beaten any stock, oil, anything like that. And it's why I'm heavily invested into it. But the question is, is Wall Street here? Well, they're saying that it's not here yet in droves. It is here, in my opinion, but just not to where it should be. And it's going to change. It's going to change. We're going to talk about it in a second. So it goes on to say, remember 2017? Well, it was fantastic, except for when the CME introduced their cash settled Bitcoin futures right at the peak in December, 2017. And then boom, everything crashed. And if you're, if you're into what you thought could have happened or why it crashed, this was one of the things that people point to CME introduced cash settled futures. But there was a lot of other factors in there. I think it was it was just too much too soon. It wasn't really built on, you know, anything concrete. It was on shaky ground. It was all white papers, vapor and hope. So I think these days we're in a little, a much better position, in my opinion. And they talk about Google searches for Bitcoin, pretty much tell the whole story. And interest over time, you can see from here, this is in 2017. Actually, I'm just going to show you. Here is, I pulled this up. This is the Google Trends. And Google Trends is not going to, it's not going to tell you the exact amount of searches right here. You can do that in AdWords if you do a bunch of ads and such. But for here, it's just going to tell you like over time. So if you're looking at the last 12 months on a scale of zero to 100 on May 10th to May 16th, that's when it was at the highest amount of searches. Now today, we're looking at 72. So, and you can see it's, you know, done pretty well over a little bit of time. But what I want you to take a look at is this. So, I mean, just think about this, first of all, right, before I show you. It's been on the minds of everybody. It's been on CNBC, it's been on the media, it's been on the hearts and minds of the big investors and legendary traders and all those things. So you think like, oh, this is a pretty big thing. Well, not so, because look at this trend from 2004 to today. Of course, it's flat, nothing really happened back then. This was the peak. The absolute peak was December 2017. And again, it wasn't built in anything, it was very shaky in my opinion. And then here's what we are right now. We're at a whopping 19. So out of zero to 100, we're at 19. What do you think's gonna happen in 2021? Now again, this is just Google searches, but it really does play a part and let you peer into the minds of what people are thinking and searching. And if this is any indicator, we got a long way to go. But while the public is largely unaware, several wealthy investors are heralding Bitcoin as a new asset class, like we're talking about PTA, Paul Tudor Jones, Michael Saylor from MicroStrategy, and Stanley Druck in Miller have made waves in 2020, revealing their positions. Jones and investing in Bitcoin is like investing in Apple early. Saylor from MicroStrategy, say that his company, MicroStrategy, would bought up 425 million and would hold it for 100 years, calling it the world's best collateral. Not only on top of that. Saylor also said that he feels no respect for any traders because he's like, what are you doing, you're stupid, just hold on to it, it'll be fine. That's his opinion, I think he's gonna trade, go right ahead. Also Druck in Miller, I say Druck in Miller like that because I always call him Drunken Miller and people are like, it's not Drunken Miller, it's drunk. So okay, I always slow down, Druck in Miller. The latest big name, Bitcoin Convert, now argues that if the gold bet works, that Bitcoin bet will probably work better. And as Tyler Winklevoss put it, Bitcoin is better at being gold than gold itself, and I couldn't agree more. Also, for all the gold bugs out there, just remember this, gold is pretty great. I mean, I own Gold, Silver, Bitcoin. I think everybody should own Gold, Silver, Bitcoin. But if you look at asymmetrical investments, gold is not where it's at. Gold is only up 23%, which is a monstrous year for precious metals. But in crypto, that's like a Tuesday. So it's not a big deal, but for gold bugs, it is. Gold is up 23% in 2020, during a year of global economic upheaval. And remember, it came down to massive money printing from the Fed. The stimulus package was in the trillions of dollars on top of a global pandemic, and gold went up 23%. Remember, gold is supposed to be a hedge for economic collapse, and it still only went up 23%. So I'm just saying, gold is great, but you should really look at Bitcoin if you're on the fence and you're here, welcome. Individuals who bought Bitcoin 10 or even five years ago would most likely agree. The end of Bitcoin's delt phase. This is where it gets interesting. Bitcoin is becoming particularly attractive as a hedge against inflation, which is all but guaranteed by the US, of course. Federal Reserve likes to print. And if you're any have been looking at the news, Jerome Powell, the head of the Federal Reserve, states that, hey, we're going to keep printing. He didn't say we're going to keep printing, but he's like, we're going to use all the tools at our disposal and more economic relief as on the horizon or something like that. I paraphrase a little bit, but you get the drift. There's going to be more printing and there's more printing. There's more that's quantitative easing. There's more for the dollar to recede as far as the value. And it's also going to cause a bit of turmoil. Great opportunity for gold, Bitcoin, cryptocurrency assets. But getting back to the story, unlike gold, Bitcoin is absolutely scarce. We keep finding more gold. That's just the truth. We will never find more Bitcoin.  Check out of the couch. Oh, there it is. No, it's only 21 million. That's it. It's all it ever will be. So this is a great little image of of valuation and stealth phase versus. I didn't see this. The blow up phase is pretty funny. So the stealth phase is when people are like just hoarding and kind of just slowly accumulating, which we all knew they were doing. We all knew JP Morgan was doing that.  He's going to say out in the in the front, go, we're not doing anything.  Yes, we did, sir. And then off we go. So like on the stealth phase, they don't want to tell you what they're doing. But at some point, the cat does get out of the bag and that's why you got the PTJs, the drunken millers, the micro strategies and all the big players and went, hey, we're buying right now, just let you know. And that's it. So we're at this. We're I think we're past that. That only makes sense. So now we're starting to see a little takeoff, which we saw. Right. I mean, Bitcoin is up on 25 percent for the year. That's only makes sense. Now we're going to start to see what it's going to be a little bit of a sell off. And then that's where people, the weekends, not me and you, weekends are going to start to sell and go, oh, it's it's it's dropping. I got to get out now because it's never going to. But those are the people that don't understand how valuable crypto and digital assets really are and how it's going to change everything. And it's going to be 10 X bigger, maybe 100 X bigger than the Internet Revolution in the late 90s. So they're going to sell off. And then people like me and you were going to buy up because we know what time it is. And then this is going to do this, this, this, this, this. The problem is this is the problem for me. I know it's a problem for you. But I made this mistake in 2017, which is when everything becomes overvalued and the RSI is like super, super overbought for days, weeks or however long it takes when to kind of time it. And the best thing I can tell you is watch my bull run strategy where I talk about, you know, the different price points I'm going to try to take profits. I will never sell all my cryptocurrency.  It just only makes sense. So if this looks familiar to you, it's happened over and over and over again. It happened in 2017. I think it's going to happen again in 2021. Could be wrong. Let me just take the comments section. Moving on. We'll finish up. And this is the quote just echoes what I've been talking about with Druckenmiller, Michael Saylor and more or less the companies jumping into Bitcoin markets. It's quite clear that we're at the early stage of a new bull cycle. Well, sure. And this was a really great paragraph right here. It states in addition to having the aforementioned investors have also noticed that Bitcoin's fundamentals, network activity and on ramp infrastructure, e.g. the cash app and PayPal have all significantly improved since 2017. That's the truth. I remember in 2017, you can get it at Coinbase and Binance and some other places, but there were so many people that Coinbase shut down from taking new customers and Binance are the same thing. I remember people were selling their Binance accounts on like eBay or wherever they were selling them. I forgot what it was. And there was nothing in them. They just said, you want to count? We got to pay me X amount of dollars, hundreds, thousands of dollars. It was crazy. So that is not the case these days. Other investors will also eventually realize that a small allocation of capital and a Bitcoin significantly boosts portfolio returns. Last month, the co-founder of Ken P. Holdings, Dan Tapiero, noted this. And this is a smart phrase says only 3 percent Bitcoin positions in the past five years would have increased performance of a 60 40 portfolio from 6.8 to 10.2 percent. Imagine that. Imagine when all the advisors start to talk to their customers and like, look, Pete, here's what's going on with with your portfolio didn't do so hot this year. But there's a new asset that's really not new. It's like, you know, 12 years old now. And we can offset it a little bit risky, I suppose, but it is the best performing asset of all time. So maybe we could put a little bit in there, like, like I said, 2 to 3 percent and we can offset some of these losses that we're going to see, especially what's going to happen in the next year or two to come because the stock market is probably going to crash if they can do that. And they recommend that to all the people that they have. This could be a huge boom. And not only on top of that, the SEC has just given clearance for banks and different institutions to start to custody Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. We talked about this yesterday. So this could be a big boom.  I'm just saying because you could have been up mightily.  I'm just saying I'm just saying at this rate, investment fund clients will begin asking the question such as this. Why is my nephew's Bitcoin stash outperforming my 401k, my thank stocks, my Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon and Facebook? Why is it outperforming gold and Warren Buffett put together? How do I gain exposure to Bitcoin? And this only makes sense, right? People are start to look at this and especially the older generation, which really has all the money. The big boomers have all the money and then the Gen X or the millennials, their second, third, fourth, fifth place, whatever you want to say. But now when you start to look at it and just kind of break it down, institutions are here. They're going to start to really gobble up a lot before the average investor can get into it. I mean, we've got phylogel assets, a trillion asset management, TD Ameritrade with one trillion. You've got the big goldbugs Van Eck who said, look, gold is better. Our Bitcoin is better than gold. And here's the proof and they put out a PDF not too long ago. You got Grayscale buying up everything out there. You got the PTJs out there, the legendary investments and traders and going, hey, I'm going to put my money into Bitcoin, Druckenmiller as well and on top of all the different public companies who are making money hand over fist, look at MicroStrategy. They just invested four or 25 million a couple of months ago. They're at 606 million. Do you not think that other companies are going to look at this, go, wow, what are we doing? Our money is on fire and everybody else is making a ton of money. We should probably get into this. It only makes sense. I'm just saying. Let me know what you think of the comment section. Let's move on. Next up, this is a passion project of mine. I know some people don't care, but I always cover it. So voting, if you see what if you're outside of the United States, we're going through a little bit of a turmoil right here. People are talking about election fraud and different problems with the election process, so I'm not going to get into it. This is not a political channel. I don't care. Let the courts settle that. OK, that's all I'm going to say. But I will say this, we could have avoided all this nonsense by just use a blockchain voting.   So this is a pretty good article by Tatiana Revaredo. I think I said that right due to social isolation. A lot of American voters opt to vote by mail. That's true, right? Hey, if you can't get out, you want to stand in line, you don't want to get the coronavirus. I don't care if you think it's real or not. Maybe you just don't want to go out. So you voted by mail. Great, which increased voting counting time. I think Georgia is still voting by hand, which is crazy. Led candidate and acting president Donald Trump to judicialize the electoral process with actions in several states and triggered intense debates about the veracity and legitimacy of the current American electoral system. Currently, many have proposed mobile voting as an alternative, more compatible with current times, allowing people to vote without leaving their homes. I think this is awesome. I do everything online, right? I order my groceries. I pay my bills. I pay my vendors. I can open up my bank accounts. I've got friends who are in the Sergeant Major Academy. They can open up legitimate government classified documents via the internet. I mean, pretty much everything you think of, we do the internet. I just don't understand what we can't do voting.  So how does one make mobile or remote voting possible without compromising the security of electoral participation? Blockchain, I'm not going to read the rest because it really just comes down to blockchain. Well, actually, now I'm going to read this last part. It's pretty good. The combination of sequential hashing and crypto and distributed structure allows for the protection of voter identity and the verification of absolutely all votes entered in the blockchain platform, which can enable secure and transparent voting mechanisms without electoral vote monitoring. So this is a great article, but I know people don't like to get bogged down with the minutiae. So I will just say this. I interviewed the CEO of votes, Nimit, really nice guy, soft spoken, pretty smart gentleman. And we went over the whole things about, well, you know, how can we protect the identity? How can we make sure that it's not hacked? How can we make sure that it's successful to everybody? And how do we make this all work? And how do we get it out to the masses? And it was, I mean, all the questions were answered right in this one. Now, it's very long. It is 50 minutes. Hopefully you can get to the meat and potatoes of it, but it's fascinating and it makes total sense. He's not talking about online voting. He's talking about using an app and keeping everything super secure. And then on top of that, you can also check your vote going as soon as you do it and then afterwards and then after the election is even over, you can go back and look on the blockchain to make sure that it was counted that way. And as far as the security and the anonymity, it really is contained with it. And what was interesting to me was that this isn't like pie in the sky like something that could happen. They've already done this in several U.S. states, West Virginia, enable mobile voting via blockchain for federal state and federal elections in 2018, Denver, Colorado, Utah, County, Utah and two counties in the state of Oregon. They also did the whole process. And most of it, I think most, if not all, was all through votes. So they've already done there and done that. The question is, why can't we move this along? Because we should anyhow, I'm going to link this video at the very end of today's video. So you can check it out if you want to. But to me, it was fascinating because I love this stuff. All right, so that's it for that piece. Let's move on. Next up, Q of the Day. This is a pretty good one. That's about Lucas because he was talking about Max Kaiser. Max Kaiser thinks everything is a scam outside of Bitcoin. Sure. So I had to answer the question and I didn't answer the question. Actually, it was Richard Hart. So let's go. Welcome back to Q of the Day. So the Q of the Day is a pretty good one. And actually, it was a Q that came to me in October. And there's a reason why I'm getting to this right now. I'll give that a second. So this is from Lucas. He is from Switzerland. Oh, Lucas. And he says, hey, Rob, first, I want to say thank you for your work. We'll enjoy watching your videos and getting your insights. Thanks for watching. Thank you all for recommending Celsius. Both received $20 bonus, which is great, right? If you're looking to sign up for Celsius, check out the link in the description. $20 to be signed up. $20 for me and you. When when? Great. He said, I stumbled across a video from Stansbury Research. Link below. I'd really like to get your opinion on Max Kaiser's statement that all altcoins, including ETH, are exit scams. Sure. I know you're invested in altcoins. It's like I am. I think it's always a good idea to get a contrarian opinion from somebody who does not see the world like we do. How would you have reacted to this statement? And Daniela's shoes might be am I right? So this is a good question because it's a question that this gentleman, Lucas, is going to come across. And a lot of people are, especially with what's going to happen in 2021 and PayPal getting in the fray and allowing everybody to buy cryptocurrency assets. So this was answered pretty astutely by Richard Hart. And somebody had reached out to me on Twitter and said, hey, Richard would be able to answer any questions. You should have one of your show. Sure. You know, so I reached out to Richard. He said, yeah, come on on. He's going to come on. And I think this was perfect because Richard is a programmer. He's done different things. Now, look, Richard is a controversial figure in the cryptocurrency digital asset space. There's no denying that. He has a product called Hex, which some people have said it's awesome. And some people say it's a scam. So it's like everything else out there. And remember, Ethereum was also called a scam at one point. So just take it with a grain of salt. And before I even start, I would just say this. I will not be investing into Hex, not because I think it's a scam or it's a bad project or whatever else. I just don't understand it. And on my show, on my channel, I tell you about the things I invest into and why I invest into them. And there's a lot of there's a lot of different things that I've passed on that went on to make a ton of money. There's a lot of things I've passed on that went to absolute zero. So I can't tell you what to do. I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do. But Richard does answer these questions fantastically. And we'll just get into it right now, Richard. So tell us all about how Bitcoin isn't the end of the deal. How all coins can make it and tell us about Hex because guess what? I don't know too much about it. Easy. All right. So then just yeah, I'm recording. We should get ready now. Yeah. All right. Hi, my name is Richard Hart. I've got the sixty five K followers on Twitter, Twitter.com, four slash Richard Hart, when 45 K on YouTube, YouTube.com, four slash Richard Hart. I founded the world's first blockchain time deposit. It's pretty amazing if you want to make the world a better place and replace the banks and the banksters and their high fees and bad hours and shady things that they do with a peer to peer replacement. Someone has to build it. So I built it. Bitcoin was invented to attack currency in the United States and China. There's about seven rather five trillion dollars of printed money, but there's seven trillion dollars in time deposits. So it's actually a larger market. So the thing that I invented Hex as a side effect of doing time deposits very well, it also does currency better. So it's not designed to do currency, but it does it better than Bitcoin does with higher throughput, lower fees, better price performance, more features. It's like it's really Bitcoin hasn't been approved in 10 years. In 10 years, you've got you could only do one thing with it. You can press send and it makes your number go down and it makes somebody else's number go up. And that's it. That's all you can do. So if you want more than that, if you want to be able to lock up your funds and get paid interest and get paid a reward for locking them, Bitcoin will never, ever, ever do that because it only mints new coins to incentivize miners to pollute the environment and give that money to hardware, manufacturers and electric companies. And that's all it will ever do. It's OK. It's it's the security model as it is. But it's been 10 years and improvements can be made and they're being made all the time. So if, you know, Bitcoin doesn't do the most fine in crypto, Tether does Bitcoin. If you want to get out of it and protect your fiat value and get into a stable coin, there's no stable coins at Bitcoin. There's tons of stable coins in Ethereum. Seven of the top 11 cryptocurrencies by market cap were started on or primarily use Ethereum. TRX, BNB, EOS, USDT, Ethereum itself. I think there's one or two I'm forgetting, but sure. Hacks, Hacks is up there. Top 20. It's a proven system that has more features, higher throughput, lower latency, more security. Bitcoin's had two inflation bugs. One, they rolled back the chain. Somebody minted $6 billion free extra Bitcoin in 2010. They rolled back the chain. And then another one was just recently found about a year ago by a Bitcoin Cash developer. And this is the result of having spaghetti code with no spec that you can write to, no useful alternative implementations, no bug bounty programs and no security audits. So why wouldn't you have problems with that? Whereas Ethereum has a bug bounty program. Hacks has three audits, two security audits and one economics audit. So we put more money and time into security. And lo and behold, we're more secure. So other cryptocurrencies have had inflation bugs, which is a fancy word for anyone could mint as many free coins as they want. And Hacks won't, because our consensus code is isolated and locked in a place where you can't accidentally screw it up trying to improve something else. Which is how the last Bitcoin inflation bug happened. But people don't know about security and they don't know how bugs and software really happened. So they think that having a higher hash rate protects you. Doesn't do anything at all to protect you. As a matter of fact, higher hash rate is a protection racket. Who are you paying to not attack you? The only people that could attack you. You're not protecting yourself from some other party.  Maybe you should pay us to protect you from that. That's what mining is. And guess what those miners do with that money? They pollute the environment and sell the price down. So Bitcoin miners get paid to sell the price. They don't buy Bitcoin. They sell it. They buy electricity and mining hardware. And hacks, stakers are paid to hold the price up. It's just wildly better. And which is the reason why if you bought hacks on January 5th and held it till now, you'd have 50 times more Bitcoin. Do you want 50 times more Bitcoin? You love Bitcoin so much. Bitcoin's the best thing in the world.  You're buying them at 11,500. Go ahead. You can buy 50 times more had you gotten to hacks earlier. So anybody that says, you know, I love Bitcoin more than anything. Well, if you really loved it, you would have 50 times more of it, 50, five, zero times more by having gotten involved with hacks. And by the way, it's free. It's free for Bitcoin holders. If you had Bitcoin before, I believe December 1st, you get free hacks, literally free. And over $3 billion of Bitcoin holders have minted their free hacks with absolutely a wonderful experience. So, Richard, it sounds to me, correct me if I'm wrong, but you are in direct opposition to Max Kaiser by saying, yes, I believe that Bitcoin's not the end, I'll be all, it won't be the only thing we can ever use and all the other altcoins are not the S coins. Well, it's really this simple. If you're coward and you want very little from the world and you don't have high expectations, maybe Bitcoin's enough for you. You don't want anonymity. Bitcoin doesn't have anonymity. Well, lots of other coins do, including Hex. Hex has T.ME forward slash Hex NATO, ZK Snarks is your knowledge proofs on chain. Trustless, right? Bitcoin doesn't have stablecoin. There's got tons of stablecoins. Bitcoin just recently, there's more wrapped Bitcoin on Ethereum. Ethereum is acting as Bitcoin's layer two for scalability than there is in the Lightning Network, which just had a critical vulnerability which required people to upgrade or lose money a couple of days ago. It has had many. So Ethereum is doing better than Bitcoin was ever designed to do or hoped to do. You can do on chain, the largest liquid market for a dollar to Ethereum pair in the entire world is on chain, trustless, no AML, no KYC, no sign up.  You gotta beg someone. Hey, I sent you my coins. Can you please send me something else back, please? Oh, you need selfies now?  That's the Bitcoin life. You want a 13-second transaction of Bitcoin? It's not available. You wait six confirmations an hour, but let's say you just do it in one confirmation, it's 10 minutes. What do you think's faster? 13 seconds or 10 minutes? The mining hardware, like Ethereum murders Bitcoin and price-wise and feature-wise, Hex murders Ethereum, even though Hex runs on Ethereum. It's an interesting thing. It's like Ethereum is basically like a typewriter and then you can write a very nice novel, but if you don't write the novel, it's not there. So it's just like a, it's a substrate that you're executing your economic game theory on. So Hex's economic game theory rewards the only thing in crypto that actually matters and the only thing in crypto that actually has adoption, which is buying and holding and holding for a long time. If you bought Bitcoin in 2017 at the end, you're still down 50%. Boy, that sucks, doesn't it? Maybe you're down 40% now or not at 12K. So you're down more than 40% cause it was 20K then. And that's three years ago. Is that, does that sound like a good store of value to you? It dropped 65% in a week or maybe two weeks a few months ago for COVID. Does that sound like a good store of value for you? And by the way, everything does that drop. Every altcoin, Bitcoin and every altcoin is going to continue to be volatile and that's fine. Because if you want upside volatility, you've got to be able to withstand the downside volatility. You can't just have one. So if you've held cryptocurrency for a long period of time, it's the highest appreciating asset class that's ever existed in the history of man. Right now Bitcoin is up 1.1 million X from when it was a penny 10 years ago. 1.1 million times increase in value. Hex is up 116X, it did it in four months. Now we got a dip, it's down to 70X. Oh my God, I only made 70 times my money in 10 months.  What other place in the world can you get returns like this? With no counterparty risk.  Oh, I hope some guy builds something, I hope some guy does something. It's finished, it's complete. It's faster, more secure, more price performant, more features, better everything, better domain name, better logo, better, like, you can't misspell it. Go ahead and misspell Hex. Can't. So yeah, so Richard, good explanation there for everything, right? About why Bitcoin's at the end of the year. So thank you. Before we get into Hex, let me ask you. Is it, what is, let me ask you this. What is it going to take to overthrow Bitcoin to get out of the public consciousness besides the time hand? So it depends on where, so this, it's a suitcase question. I gotta break it apart.  If he wants to be able to get into that position without too much slippage, he needs a lot of liquidity, billions of dollars of liquidity. And if he wants to get out of that position, he needs billions of dollars of liquidity so he doesn't move the market against himself too hard getting in and getting out. So for a guy operating at that scale in cryptocurrency, really his only option is Bitcoin because the slippage is far too hard in other coins.  You can get into an out of Hex or Ethereum or 100 other coins just fine with those numbers. It really does matter the scale that you're trying to operate at. So if you look at replacing finance, what percentage of finance is currency? 5% maybe, what's everything else? Options, derivatives, loans, time deposits. Time deposits, which Hex addresses is the second most popular product of the bank. So look, that's it for the interview. And as you can tell, Rich has got a lot to say. He has no shortage of opinion that is for sure. So that interview without me interrupting him went 40 minutes, 44 minutes or something like that. So for me to put that on visual asset news, the YouTube channel would just take too long. So I'm gonna chop it up. He answered the question, which I appreciate. He's gonna go more into detail about Hex and I'm gonna put that over on Dan clips so I can separate and segment these types of things. So if you're looking for that, there's a link, it'll be in the description. It looks just like this. And you can click on that and go over to Dan clips and watch the rest of the interview if you're interested. So that is it for Q of the day. Thank you, Richard for coming on the show and answering the questions. And that is it, let's jump. All right, so that's it for today. So thanks for sticking with me till the very end. Interesting stuff, I'm sure. Just as a reminder, danteachescrypto.com it is up and live and free. And you can find link in the description of every one of my videos. It's at the very top, right underneath the timestamps. And you can go and check it out. We try to simplify everything, try to make things fast, very accessible and easy to find your answers right here. So go ahead and check that out when you have time and that'll do it for today. So if you like these types of videos it'll be two months gonna pop up on your left and right. I'll pick one of them and then YouTube will do its magic for the other one. And that is it. So thanks for watching the whole thing. Appreciate it and I'll see you on.


How did this happen? Yesterday we had a video that generated a huge huge enormous spike in views and the video was this one where over 1,500 of you commented about your life story tips to help people grow and If I were to read each of your comments on this video, I would be making a 10-hour video now I have been trying to keep up with all your comments and I have read most of them And I will continue to read them until I'm all done as I promised I read every comment But I want to make a proper video celebrating what just happened here Before I do I want to explain to you this view what you're looking at right now is the real-time analytics and I'll hide myself Which you should use to determine if something happens on your channel that you should do more of well clearly, this is a spike and this created so many views over 11,000 in Just one 24-hour period that this broke the record of every single video that I created in the last two months on This channel so clearly we should do more of whatever it is that just happened now If this happens on your channel pay close attention and of course do what I'm about to do in the next video, which is a proper follow-up so Here is the real-time view zoomed in and it just shows much of the same even now the video is gaining traction every 60 minutes it's gaining lots of views so One tip that's very important to help you Maximize this on your channel if it happens to you is Create a playlist with your most popular videos in them and then You can use heartbeat to figure out. I have to hide myself again Once they're in a playlist you can use heartbeat to figure out which videos are Actually the most popular so you can see that with heartbeat you can sort by different categories and You can sort by views you can sort by likes you can sort by dislikes and so on so this works in a playlist and If you don't have heartbeat You can get it by simply going to www.heartbeat.tm and Click get this app It's a Chrome extension and it's free and it's built by us freedom to help you grow faster So once you've identified which of your videos you want to focus on then Just make more of those videos now In yesterday's video So many of you gave so many good comments and tips on how to grow faster that I encourage you to go to yesterday's video and if you don't know where that is click that I up there to get to it and Read through all the comments or at least the top comments and I'm sure you will find some amazing nuggets of information that will help you grow even faster so One of the additional tips that will help you is once you have your playlist Put it into the video description of each of your videos as you can see I have my the George show playlist link in each of my video descriptions and also Put it into the cards You can see that the last card of each of my videos is my playlist So that way it makes it easier for people to find your best videos once they found one of them so I hope you will Bear with me while I figure out Exactly how to do a proper follow-up video to yesterday's video that will start with the best 10 seconds As was one of my suggestions to help you grow faster that will incorporate other suggestions you've made in the comments below and I'm just amazed guys.

guys subscribe and turn notifications on leave a like and drop a comment down below get here first and win giveaway calls i will pin as first comment on some of my videos be fast and good luck what is going on guys welcome back to the channel and i appreciate you being here today i bring you another destiny to your video and today i want to talk about the lunas howl a weapon it seems many many people are chasing a weapon which for the casual player or the solo player many think it isn't within reaching distance today i bring you a few tips on getting this weapon for the casual on solo player much like myself but before we go any further guys if you do enjoy the video would like to show you support you can by hitting that like button and if you are new around here and enjoy daily destiny through videos be sure to subscribe okay so the difference between my tips and probably the tips you've seen the other videos is i am a scrub pvp player i class myself as average at best i mean you know these two people you've seen me play often enough but i have the lunas howl so if i can get it i'm certain you can get it too and i wasn't carried either my pal who's the worst player than me who also played with me as also guides so yes people so yes you can get it now i know it does take a little bit of a grind a grind to be honest though actually isn't as bad as you may think if you ask me so what's actually special about this lunas howl well it's basically the fastest archetype of hand cannon in the game mean it shoots 180 rounds per minute if you ain't sure what that means i mean if you have a trust it's got the same firing speed yet the lunas howl is capable of free tapping thanks to a perk exclusive to this weapon and a not forgotten which we won't get into in this video magnificent howl is the perk's name landing two headshots gives the third extra damage this basically allows you to free tap with this weapon this pair of the fact it has no recoil amazing range insane aim assist and an amazing reload speed it makes the weapon absolutely unmatched in pvp for sure the weapon is just a beast and it's definitely worth the grind in my opinion even though it can be a pain for one okay so the quest starts via shacks it should hand you a red ticket if you don't remember picking up it should be in your pursuits tab i believe it's called shock and denial that's where it starts anyway now i will say if you didn't know it's 99% competitive which you have to play to get this weapon meaning if you can get a foreman team of decent players that is absolutely great but you can enter comp solo too i mean solo comp isn't wise but it's possible i mean the first player to ever get this weapon did all of it solo and also got a not forgotten too solo so yeah it's definitely possible now competitive has changed a little since season three radar is back clash and control have been added also and it does feel a little more casual that's for sure but don't be mistaken you will still come up against stacked teams of sweats it's just one of those things now the end part of the lunar's house quest is to get that fabled rank the scoring system is as follows you earn points for winning and lose them for losing if you go on windstreak you gain a heck of a lot the first win you get 34 points the second win if you're on a streak you get 44 points third when you get 54 fourth when you get 64 and fifth when you get 74 now those numbers are real accurate but it is thereabouts what's changed a game for season four is though you keep that five win streak and it doesn't reset if you keep on winning like it did in season three so potentially you can earn 74 points every win after that fifth win streak has come into play fabled requires 2100 points so roughly around 31 games if you can go on a 31 win streak you would reach fabled straight away but yeah people that isn't likely for us noobs i'm just throwing those numbers out there you also lose around 30 points every loss but there are no lost streaks anymore so you don't lose more than 30 per given loss so yeah fabled and 2100 points is your end goal but in all honesty people i wouldn't even worry about that until you get to that stage of the quest as there are other things you have to do in the meantime and first of the guys you have to complete 10 competitive matches so completing these 10 competitive matches you can win or lose it still counts winning is obviously your target at every point you get helps but again guys if comp is new to you use these 10 comp matches to learn the feel of competitive because it's way different to quick play that's for sure once you have them 10 games out of the way you now have to get 150 hand cannon kills in competitive now recommendations for hand cannons i mean there are a few out there and if you are like me and don't really like hand cannons well you will have to get used to them just for this quest so i went through my whole route of hand cannons to see what worked best for me i was literally using a different hand cannon every single game but my top picks and recommendations for you guys are the better devils this isn't all around hand cannon in my opinion the old fashioned if you have this in your vault or collections it feels crisp and with that kill clip the weapon feels great high aim assist too the crimson this exotic close to mid range is absolutely amazing just for those exotic perks the ace of spades this is a fan favorite you'll see many many people using this in competitive but for me the trust worked best the gambit hand cannon it's just a monster now what i suggest you guys do is as it will be different for everyone try out different hand cannons see what works best for you because what works best for me may not work best for you don't just follow the pack as that isn't how it works find a hand cannon which works a hand cannon which surprised me was the 10 paces this weapon just felt great for short so try out new different selections you just never know what works best for you and 150 hand cannon kills by the way it is quite a lot for competitive even if control and clash have been added to it so once you have the hand cannon kills out of the way you now have to get 200 solo kills these can be weapons or abilities i personally had my favorite year one pull shroud for the last position stored in my vault which was solar i mean if you get this out your collections though it will be void but i had a solar one saved but there are numerous weapons you can use here again just see what you have lying around the ickles shotgun seems to be a pretty popular one but there are many many different weapons you can use here for this part remember with control and clash added intercomp there will be games where you get 20 plus solo kills per game so although 200 seems like a lot it truly ain't that bad so after you have your solo kills you now have to play three games a rumble you don't have to win just complete them really easy to be honest so once you get your rumble games out of the way the next step is to get 100 headshots with hand cannons in competitive again guys but now after getting 150 hand cannon kills i'm hoping you found a hand cannon which works best for you again for me it was a trust which worked best it's just snappy and accurate now with the trust i wouldn't really worry about its role i mean the base weapon is great for sure the perks are just additional benefits so if you have a trust try that out the ace of spades again is a great great weapon the crimson works great too i mean it's snappy every headshot kill you get it gives your health back and reloads the weapon so yeah the crimson seems like a pretty popular one the ace of spades again but for me the trust worked best what i did here was an airing shame to say is i just followed my teammates around and steal their kills that's where i got most my headshots from i want light years because i suck with hand cannons i really do and this step in itself took me the longest for sure i mean a lot of you guys out there who are watching this video i probably love hand cannons you've probably got a hand cannon ready for this which is perfect but for me that was not the case i absolutely suck with hand cannons i really do so stealing kills here worked best for me i mean i was ending games with like 10 plus hand cannon kills but only one of them was a headshot but hey progression is progression people so once you have your 100 headshots and that has been achieved now you concentrate on hitting fabled for some this point may have already been reached that is absolutely great the quest will be all for you guys but for others like myself i mean i got close been doing other parts of the quest and then lost a lot of points it was due to me using weapons at my comfort zone and not contributing the best i could but once those headshots were done with the hand cannon i could use what i most liked and what worked best for me this is why i say don't worry about levels points until you actually get to this stage i will add this isn't retroactive so if you reach fabled then lose those points before finishing the 150 headshots it doesn't count and you have to reach fabled again now reaching fabled for many as you will see in the comments is an easy thing but it isn't for the everyday scrub like me i mean if you can get a team four here get one doing this solo really hurts it really does even if you come across teams of two and three while playing sending messages asking to join them won't hurt i mean what's the worst that can happen they'll say no and you'll be left solo which you're already at anyway at the end of the day playing in a team of three even with people you don't really know is better than playing solo i teamed up with a couple of people via sending messages etc etc and it worked people having that communication while playing game types like survival and countdown seriously helps so do what you can i mean if i can help i will try leave a comment on this video with what platform you play on your current points your subclass and what you need or how you can help if this video can be our very personal on lfg that's absolutely great help one of our people why not but yeah people once fabled has been reached you should get a notification to go and see shacks if that doesn't pop up you need to fly to the tower and then head back to all of it it then will pop up as it did for me you then have to travel back to shacks and bam the lunis howl is yours people a long quest but seriously worth the grind the lunis howl is an absolute animal and when you try it out in pvp i'm pretty sure you will agree you also get a new quest with the lunis howl called hope this is a golden ticket once completed rewards you the not forgotten the bigger brother to the lunis howl a weapon i've already made a video on which we'll find a link to within the video description but yeah guys these are my tips for the average noob like me and how can get the lunis howl a weapon which seems to be locked behind a massive grind but actually really isn't i mean i got mine in two or three days so it isn't that bad and on that note guys we have come to the end of the video if you enjoyed it leaving a like really helps out and if you are new around here and enjoy daily destiny videos like guides top fives gameplays reviews just about everything be sure to subscribe and if you never want to miss a video i upload turn notifications on by

Another important operation we can do with vectors is known as the dot product. So this is defined as follows. Let's say I have two vectors, both of which have n components, the dot product. And sometimes this is also referred to as the scalar product, which is a little bit confusing because we have a scalar multiple, which is very different. The dot product is going to be the sum, we're going to write it, vector u dot vector v, and this is going to be the sum of ui. That's the component of u times vi, that's the corresponding component of v, and we can imagine this nice compact notation, but this really represents the sum of the products of the components of the two vectors. So for example, if one vector is 1, 3, negative 4, 5, and the other vector negative 1, negative 2, 3, and 4, then my dot product, I'm going to multiply the corresponding components and add them together. So there's my first component of u times the first component of v, I'm going to add the first second component of u times the second component of v, I'm going to add the third component times the third component, and then the fourth component times the fourth component. And so I'll do the multiplication first, that's order of operations, and then I'll sum them up, and that gives me my dot product equal to 1. Now again, it would be nice to have some sort of geometric interpretation of what the vector is, so let's think about that. Well, we'll try a special case, let's start off with u dot u, in other words a vector dot product with itself. What should we make of this particular dot product? Well again, we can view a dot vector as giving directions from a point to some place else, and it's easiest to think about this as giving the direction from the origin to a terminal point. So from the origin to a terminal point, and again I should emphasize, we don't have to start at the origin, we can start anywhere we want to. The vector tells us how to get from some point to some other point, it's merely convenient to imagine that we start at the origin, because if we do that, the point we end up at the terminal point has the same coordinates as our vector does. So let's think about that as a set of coordinates, well what do those coordinates mean? Again, here's that algebra to geometry transition, algebraically I have the coordinates of a point, geometrically, well the first coordinate, if I'm in R2, the first coordinate tells me horizontal distance, the second coordinate tells me vertical distance, and the thing that's noteworthy here is that I have two sides of a right triangle. And I know what that third side is, I can find the third side because I know the Pythagorean theorem. Meanwhile, when I take a look at the dot product between the two vectors, I'll multiply the corresponding components u1 times u1, that's u1 squared, u2 times u2, that's u2 squared, I'll add them together and I end up with the dot product. Well, the thing to notice here is that my hypotenuse square root of u1 squared plus u2 squared is the same as the square root of the dot product. So what does that tell me? Well, the dot product of u with itself is going to be the square of the length of this vector. And this introduces an important idea, the modulus of u, and we write this as u bar with a set of vertical bars surrounding it, this is going to be the square root of the dot product. Now for vectors in R and the modulus corresponds to the length of the vector. Now here's an important idea, you can tell how important something is by the number of names that its basic ideas have. And since linear algebra is only used by a few specialists in a very limited number of fields, well actually linear algebra is used by nearly everyone in nearly every quantitative field. It is probably used by more scientists and researchers and engineers than calculus is. So this is something that's very, very, very, very, very, very common. And what that means is notation and terminology is unfortunately rather inconsistent. So sometimes you'll see what is what we're calling the modulus. You might see it referred to as the L2 norm of a vector. This is actually something you would probably hear about mathematicians say because they want to talk about other norms as well. But we could also talk about it as a magnitude of the vector and the notation where we're writing single bars. This is sometimes also written using double bars to distinguish it from absolute value. And since I can't predict what context, what field you're going to be using linear algebra in, you might as well get used to all the forms of notation. And to prepare you for that, we will make no effort whatsoever to be consistent in our notation or our terminology. Alright, so let's take a quick example here. Say I want to find the magnitude of the vector u, 3, negative 1, 5, negative 6. Well the magnitude is the norm is the modulus is the square root of the dot product. So I'll find that dot product. So that's going to be first component of u, 3 times the first component of u, also 3, that's 3 times 3. Second component of u times the second component of u, third component times the third component, fourth component times the fourth component. And so I add those together and after all the dust settles I get the magnitude square root of 71. And if I want to view it this way, this is a vector in R4 and the length of that vector is going to be square root of 71. Or the distance from the origin to the terminal point of the vector is also going to be square root of 71.


Assalamu alaikum. Today, Muslims in Canada and around the world will mark the end of the Hajj and celebrate Eid al-Adha. This is a time for families and loved ones to pray, share a meal, and reflect on the lessons of sacrifice and show compassion for those in need. And for some, this Eid will mean finally being able to gather safely with friends and families. Now I know that not everyone will be able to celebrate in person together and that many are missing out on their first pilgrimage to Mecca. But if we continue to follow public health guidelines and get our COVID-19 vaccines as soon as it's our turn, we will beat this virus and we will be able to celebrate together next year. From the pandemic to the tragic murder of the Afzal family to the violent attacks against black Muslim women across the country, this year has been difficult and painful for so many people. Islamophobia is real. Racism is real. And as you know too well, hatred has horrific consequences. I want to assure all Muslim Canadians that we will do everything we can to fight hatred and keep our communities safe. We will always stand with you and as we work to build back better from the pandemic, our government will always have your back. And today we join you in celebrating and we recognize your resiliency and the many contributions you've made and continue to make in communities across the country. On behalf of our family, Sophie and I wish everyone celebrating a happy Eid al-Adha. Eid Mubarak.


All right, now I have shared my screen. Yes, you do have a chair. Give me one second. Okay. All right, everybody We are live now.  Hello. Oh, there you go. Okay Hi, everybody. Today I will introduce an open source project, the ABP framework. Probably some of you have already heard about it or using it in your applications. In any way, I believe that this talk will be useful to understand the need for such a project and what ABP is offering with its next version. I am Halil Ibrahim Kalkan, a software architect and co-founder of Volosoft. I am the lead developer behind the ABP framework. ABP is an open source web application framework for the latest ASP.net core 3.0. ABP provides a complete architecture and a strong infrastructure to create modern web applications. It follows best practices and conventions to provide a solid development experience. First, we should understand why we need to such a project and why we have created it. If you are building your applications on top of the plain ASP.net core, you mostly find you on repeating yourself to build a similar infrastructure again and again. You need to decide on an architecture, say a layered architecture based on domain driven design or clean architecture principles. You will write some action filters or interceptors to automate cross cutting concepts like authorization, validation, exception handling, database transaction management, audit logging, caching and so on. You definitely don't want to repeat these logics in every service method. You need to create base classes, abstractions, integrations, extension methods, helpers, library wrappers to simplify your application code. You will deal with all these infrastructure and much more stuff again and again for every project. For that reason, big enterprises are building their internal application frameworks on top of ASP.net core, but it's hard to build, maintain and document it. This is why most of such works finally fail or no one knows how it works because of the missing documentation. Besides the big enterprises, most of the software development companies don't have such development resources to build the infrastructure themselves. We have created the ABP framework to address this problem and provide a full stick application model and infrastructure for everyone. It's hard and time consuming to select the right tools and build the clean architecture while starting a new application. As a software architect, you need to close the follow the software trends, tools, principles and patterns. You have to build the fundamental solution structure and train your team to align them to follow the same principles and coding styles to create a consistent source code. When you use ABP, fundamentals of the architecture will be already decided and implemented for you. ABP solution model is based on the domain-driven design principles and patterns. DDD offers four fundamental layers, domain, application, presentation and infrastructure. ABP startup templates implement this layering by providing a multi-project solution structure. ABP framework provides infrastructure for your application to implement DDD easier. And finally, ABP documentation supports you to truly implement DDD in your source code. ABP framework is designed to create fully modular applications. It provides infrastructure to distribute your entities, services, APIs, UI components and pages into isolated modules in the development time and bring them together to act as a single application on runtime. We already created pre-built modules like account management, identity management and tenant management. Those are ready to use in your application. Documentation and guides help you in building your own modules. Microservice is another trending approach to create scalable systems both in development time and on runtime. Nive-ABP has been designed microservices in mind. It provides infrastructure to implement common microservice communication patterns easily. It's integrated to the identity server for authentication. Pre-built application modules are designed so that they can be deployed to separate servers or containers with their dedicated databases as independent microservices. We have also created a complete microservice solution sample and documented it to be a reference model. You can check it on the website. Multitenancy is a fundamental architecture to create software-as-a-service solutions. ABP framework and modules provide a complete multi-tenant infrastructure. Tenant determination, automatic data isolation, dynamic database selection, tenant basis setting system and much more are already implemented by the framework. It not only supports to develop multi-tenant applications but also makes your codebase mostly an aware of the multi-tenancy. Pre-built tenant management module provides the application logic and basic UI to manage and create your tenants. ABP framework is not a new project actually, it's the successor of the ASP.NET boilerplate framework. ASP.NET boilerplate has been around for six years. It has been more than 7,000 stars on GitHub and 1.5 million downloads on NuGet. It has been actively used by tens of thousands of developers around the world. We have been working on the next generation of the ASP.NET boilerplate framework for a few years and it's finally here. The first stable version will be released in a few weeks, based on the ASP.NET Core 3. It's a complete rewrite, so we don't use the long name anymore. It's the ABP framework, and the new website is abp.io. It's now more modular and microservice-compatible, supports relational and unreligional databases, provides more options to create composable and distributed systems in addition to simple monolithic web applications. We are very excited to introduce it in the same event, Microsoft launches ASP.NET Core 3. Now, I want to show you how to create a new project based on the ABP framework and make it running in a few seconds. First, I'm entering the ABP.io website. In the Getting Started page, we have two options to create a new project via ABP command line interface CLI, or we can directly download from the website. Once we enter a project name, then we can select an application template or module template to create a reusable module. I select the application template. We have two options as the UI framework for now, MVC and Angular, and we have now two database providers and the framework core supports most of the relational databases and MongoDB. Now, we can create a new project, but in this demo, I will create the project via CLI, ABP, new project name. It's created the complete solution in a few seconds. The solution has been created. I am opening in the Visual Studio. I have a previewed one. It is a multi-project solution, consists of the source code and related unit tests. It's layered based on domain-driven patterns and principles and layers. It's also well documented on the website, so you can easily understand how the solution structure is designed. When I run the application, the solution template includes some of the previewed modules like tenant management and identity management. When I run the solution, yeah, I see the account module. I can enter the username and password. At the startup template, it uses two modules, as I said before. Identity management is used to create and manage roles. Then we can set permissions for each role. That means we can allow to do something in the system for the given role. Also, in the user site, we can set roles for a user. We can create a new user. It also supports multi-tenants out of the box. We can create tenants and use multi-tenants as well. It's localized to a few languages. Okay, that's all. The solution itself actually doesn't contain any user interface component or any functionality I have shown. It uses NuGet packages for all the functionality related to identity management, tenant management, account login and register page. Okay, let's continue. Now I want to highlight some features of the AVP framework as a brief. The main goal of the AVP framework is to make you focus on your own buziness code by handling repeating tasks by conventions. It handles cross-cutting concerns and provides services you need. Let's see a typical application service class to understand how AVP can help you in a very simple code block. AVP provides base classes for ddd elements. In this example class, inherits from the application service. Application service base class provides properties and methods commonly used in the application layer. AVP automatically registers this class to dependency injection container as a transient service. You can use the generic repositories to work with the database. Declarative authorized attribute can be used to check permissions, which are auto policies actually. It is completely integrated into ASP.NET course authorization system and extends it. Unit of work system automatically creates and manages database connection and transaction for you. It rollbacks if your method throws an exception. Otherwise, it saves all chains to the database as a single transaction. It works out of the bugs by convention. It automatically validates the input and throws exception if it is invalid. So you can safely work with the valid input inside your method. It automatically creates and saves audit logs for each method call. So you can then get a detailed report to know which user called which method. Audit log system is very detailed and configurable. It can also save entity and property changes as well. You never handle exceptions manually. AVP handles all exceptions and send an appropriate result to the client. AVP extent ASP.NET course localization systems to make it more dynamic and extensible. Object mapper is used to map objects. It has auto mapper integration out of the bugs and can be replaced by another mapper. AVP also provides some other services useful in the application service. In this way, you only write the code related to your business without repeating yourself. If your application service basically performs crewdrup operations, then you can also inherit from the crewdrup service to get it fully implemented for you. You can then override and customize any method you need. Once you create an application service, you typically want to expose it as an HTTP API by writing an API controller. AVP can automatically create API controllers by conversion based on your method names, input and output types. So most of the times you don't need to manually create API controllers, arrange routes and HTTP methods. Okay, you have created your HTTP API and or let the AVP framework dynamically create it for you. What about when you want to use the API from a client application? AVP can dynamically create JavaScript and C sharp proxies. You can use the client proxies to use the remote HTTP API just like calling a regular method in the client side. You don't deal with authentication, exception handling, JSON serialization, deserialization and point configuration and so on. Notice that it doesn't generate any code. It all handles all in the runtime. You don't have a large machine generated code that you don't understand what it does. Here, two example code that uses the dynamic client proxies. JavaScript code calls the method just like calling a JavaScript function. C sharp client injects the application service interface which is shared with the server. The injected service is a dynamic proxy object which internally performs HTTP calls to the remote server. Then you can use any service method just like calling a local method and you get the result if provided. AVP provides a distributed event box out of the box. Publishing an event is pretty easy. Just inject the ID distributed event box service and use the publish method. Subscribing and consuming an event is also easy. Just implement the ID distributed event handler interface and fill in the handle event method. The rest of the communication and retry mechanisms are handled by the AVP framework. It's integrated to RabbitMQ as the first implementation. We will add more options in the future. AVP is UI framework agnostic. You can use different UI frameworks like ASP.netcore, MVC, Angular, React, VOOGES, or Blazor. It currently has MVC and Angular startup templates. More will come by time. In this section, I will show some of the AVP features for MVC razor page UI option. In a modular application, you typically want to embed your UI components like views or JavaScript files, CSS files, and image into the LS or Muget package. You may want to create application-independent reusable modules with their own entities, services, API, and UI elements. AVP provides a virtual file system that acts as a single file system, but internally can read contents from various resources like physical files, embedded files, or even from dynamic files created on runtime. This is an essential feature when you want to work with files distributed into modules. We have created tag helper wrappers for most of the bootstrap for components like buttons, models, cards, tabs, and so on. In this sample, you see a button and a model dialog called write and using AVP tag helpers. It produces native bootstrap code on runtime. In this way, you write less code to create bootstrap components in your views. It makes possible to get the power of the intelligence. When you want to directly work with the bootstrap code, you are free to write native bootstrap HTML, which cooperates nicely with the AVP tag helpers. In addition to wrappers to bootstrap tag helpers, we thought that creating a regular form requires a lot of boilerplate code. To reduce the code, we have created AVP input tag helper, which generates bootstrap-based, localized, and validated input controls. It understands the input type and can work with the existing attributes to customize the HTML output. Then we thought, why we should define an AVP input tag for each form element when we want to create a simple form? What if we create a single tag helper that gets the model and generates the complete form for us? AVP dynamic form tag helper does exactly this. Creates a complete form for you with a single line of code. It gets all the information from your view model class, handles validation and localization too. The last feature I want to highlight in this talk is the bundling and minification system provided by the AVP framework. You may think that why we need to create another bundling and minification system while we have ASP.NET Core Bundle and Minifier, or GALPORT Grants.js. The main reason is that none of them are modular. None of them can read CSS files inside the DLL. None of them can decide the bundle content on the fly, and actually none of them are easy use. Which bundling and minification system can be simpler than this code? It's just a tag helper directly used in your page or view. It adds given files individually to the page in development time, bundles and minifiers on runtime. It works with the virtual file system out of the box, so you can add an embedded or dynamic resource into your bundle. It can automatically include dependencies to the bundle. That means if you include the library to the bundle that depends on jQuery, it automatically includes jQuery to the bundle if jQuery was not already added to the current page before. That means it rearranges bundles on the fly, can determine the bundle content conditionally. It allows you to create name-up bundles and reuse it in an application or even across multiple applications. It has many more features that are needed to create modular web applications. You can check its documentation. So I highlighted some ABP features that are easy to explain in such a short talk. There are many built-in features and extensibility points waiting for you to discover. Visit ABP.io and follow tutorials to learn it deeply. As the last words, ABP doesn't try to reinvent the well. Instead, it tries to fill the gap between the plain ASP.NET Core and real-world enterprise application development scenarios. It helps you to code in best practices to build maintainable software solutions. Okay, that's all for my talk. If you have any questions, I'm glad to answer them. Yeah, that's a great story. Somebody was asking, Ritesh, Tamara Karis, are there any real use of ABP at the moment? Yes, actually, ABP is the next generation of the ASP.NET boilerplate framework. So it's widely used by thousands of developers for the ABP.io, the next generation. It's in the preview now. We have just upgraded to ASP.NET Core 3 yesterday. Once Microsoft releases it, we immediately upgrade it to latest ASP.NET Core. So we are using it in production, but we don't call it 1.0 for now because it has some lacking documentation and we want to test more. Some of the developers are using the new ABP.io in their production environment, but we don't suggest for a few weeks more than we will release the first stable version for the ABP.io. Awesome. Yeah, people have been saying great presentation. There's a comment here from us, Bob, Western Australia. I've been reading ABP documentation. I'll do the support, swashbuckle integration and open API and swagger UI. Wow, definitely going to give it a go. So yeah, you did a great job presenting all the features of your framework. So that's awesome. So I want to thank you for taking the time for talking about it and showcasing it. I know people were excited. So we're going to hang up here, folks, and we're going to get Martin, who's going to talk about indexing Nougat with Asher Functions. So again, Helio, thank you so much. Thank you very much. And thank you to everybody listening to me. Okay, bye-bye. Thank you so much. Have a good one. I will be back in a bit, folks.

Now we all know that there has been a tough 12 months for our young people, being away from their friends and adjusting to studying at home. I have seen terrific work that schools and colleges have done to ensure that learning has continued, while putting in place preparations so that the return of learners is safe and the return to the classroom is as smooth as possible. I'm so very grateful for school, college and local authority staff for also embracing the new standards that are needed to ensure that learning has continued, while putting in place preparations so that the return of learners is safe and the return to the classroom is as smooth as possible. a gweithio'r ddafodol o'r cymdeithasol yn y maen nhw'n cael ei bod yn rhoi'r bwysig i'r nesaf yn swydd.

Ond rwy'n dweud hynny'n mynd i ddweud ddweud ffyrddol ym lyddiol, especially for learners at key stages in their academic careers, and indeed, their lives. Last summer, I announced an extra £29 million to recruit, recover and raise standards. I set a target to recruit an additional 900 teachers or teaching assistants to provide more support for learners during the pandemic. I'm pleased to report that, so far, the equivalent of 1,800 full-time staff members have been recruited, double to our original target. Rwy'n dאלodwch am wych i'n cael ei amgylchedd honor yma rhai. Byddwn i'n ddull winteronien iawn eu hurjeton ystwynt y gofio 532 miliwns o'i bod phobl gael eu can울u sy'n ddweud yma i swyああ. Rwy'n darllen eu cyhoedd during the pandemic and our qualification years are due to receive bespoke support in the coming months to provide them with confidence to move forward in their next steps. Funding will also be used so that trainee teachers can complete their practical experience this autumn, therefore qualifying and moving into full-time teaching. Strengthening our workforce even further during the pandemic is vital as work continues with the introduction of our groundbreaking new curriculum. Tomorrow is another significant milestone in our national mission as curriculum and assessment bill reaches its final stages before being passed into law. I call it a national mission because it does involve everyone working together, teachers, parents, academics, businesses, national organisations and of course my department here in the Welsh Government, all committed to raising standards, tackling the attainment gap to ensure that we have an education system that is a source of pride to us all. So it's a massive deal come out to everyone who has played their part in this historic journey for education in Wales. Thank you. We'll now take questions from our colleagues in the media and we're going to begin this afternoon with Bethan Lewis over at the BBC. Good afternoon Bethan. Good afternoon Minister. In England school pupils of all ages are going back full time this week. Do you regret that that won't be the case for Welsh pupils for at least another month? Also if you could give a few more details please about how the catch-up funding will expense? Of course well Bethan I'm delighted to see children returning to education in any jurisdiction and as I said in my opening statements it's been wonderful over the last two weeks to see Wales's youngest learners back in school working with their teachers and being with their friends and we'll see more children back next week. What's really important to remember is that back in February Sage were very clear in their advice to governments that a phased return to school was critically important in being able to monitor the impact on the pandemic as we move forward and that's what we've been doing here in Wales. Thanks to the hard work of the Welsh public we were able to announce last week that we could go further than we'd initially hoped for, therefore allowing check-ins for our younger secondary school pupils and I'm very grateful for those continued efforts that the Welsh public is making and as I said in following the advice of Sage and experts here in Wales we can make that return as successful and safe as possible. With regards to the additional funding Bethan this will allow us to be able to continue to support additional staff in our in our schools which is vitally important at this time for a further academic year. We also recognise the real challenges that there have been for those undertaking initial teacher education this year which of course requires those students to undertake a number of practical hours in a school placement which through no fault of their own hasn't been possible and we don't want to lose those valuable inspirational individuals to our education system so this funding will be used to ensure that during the autumn term they can be working with our children in our schools and completing their qualifications but we'll also be using the resources to design and to further support those children in critical transition years so that they move from high school perhaps into college or from college or schools to university is as successful as we would all want it to be. Thank you. Could you say a bit about how the COVID testing for all the pupils will work when they hopefully go back from next week? Are you guaranteeing that all pupils in years 10 to 13 will be offered these two home testing kits a week and how much take-up are you expecting? Well Bethan, we are confident that the testing kits that will be required will be distributed to our settings. We would encourage parents and students to undertake these tests at home giving them greater levels of assurance. It's not mandatory and students will be able to access education without taking the test but throughout this pandemic the Welsh public has shown an absolute determination to do everything that they can to keep themselves, their loved ones and their community safe and I'm really hopeful that parents and students themselves will see this as another way and another expression of their commitment to tackling this disease by undertaking these tests keeping themselves, their colleagues and their community safe. Can we now go to Adrian Masters at ITV Wales? Good afternoon Adrian. Good afternoon Minister. Thank you very much. You've said several times that you're considering catch-up plans for students. There seems to have been a bit more detail emerge about plans in England which is looking at shorter holidays and longer days. Is that the sort of thing that parents and students here in Wales can expect? Well Adrian, our catch-up plans are centered on the ability to resource our schools with the additional staff and expertise to allow them to do what they do best. All children have suffered an interruption to their learning but our teachers are well-versed and understand exactly what they need to do to ensure that learners can progress and what's really important is that the money we're announcing today will allow head teachers to put that support into place. Prior to the pandemic Welsh Government did undertake a piece of work entitled Reimagining the School Day. COVID-19 I think have brought to the fore again questions about whether our academic year and our school days are designed to fit a modern society and I think there is a debate to be had but Adrian what's really important is that we if I can misquote the eighths is that we remember that education isn't about filling a pail it's about lighting a fire underneath it and we need to resource our schools to do that simply piling more pressure onto our children and young people and onto our teaching profession I don't think we'll get it all to be but having said that I'm delighted for instance that our very successful food and fund programme that runs in the summer holiday for primary school pupils we've been able to double the amount of funding going into that programme this summer so that even more children can benefit from those really wonderful activities based around the arts and physical fitness and cooking so that more children can benefit this summer than we have previously we are developing alongside our teaching professionals a comprehensive support programme to ensure that our children move forward with confidence a constant discussion about a deficit model that somehow all is lost is not one that will help our children our professionals and the Welsh Government stand ready to instigate a plan that will ensure that we can move forward with confidence thank you um and talking of food and students do you think the Welsh Government should go further on free school meals according to people's assembly more than half of children in poverty aren't eligible for free school meals will you commit to making sure they are Adrian Wales is the first of the devolved nations to commit to ensuring that those children in receipt of free school meals during term time got that help during the holidays and I just want to say thank you to our partners in local government that have been able to seamlessly deliver that support for our families that are most in need and indeed we are committed to funding that support right the way through to Easter of next of next year with regards to making additional families eligible for free school meals the Welsh Government is and has publicly said on a number of occasions that we are committed to reviewing eligibility especially with regards to the impact of universal credit but let's be absolutely clear we are we as I said we are funding free school meals for those that are entitled for the following year and of course uniquely in Wales when our schools are available for face-to-face learning we uniquely have comprehensive breakfast provision also and I'm also delighted that this year we have been able to double our investment into our PDG access fund again these are funds available to our poorest families to help with the costs of the school day whether that be items of uniform or kit equipment or even this year IT and I would ask families who think that they may be eligible to check on the Welsh Government or their with or with their local authority about eligibility criteria for gaining support under this particular grant scheme thank you Hannah Thomas at LBC hello Hannah and thank you Education Minister and Welsh Government have said they are prioritising children getting back to face to face learning for their education but we've been speaking to a baby group leader who says they haven't yet been given a date they're concerned babies are missing out on vital socialisation skills in their early years not to mention mums and dads particularly first time mums and dads so they're feeling very isolated without being able to develop these social network groups will baby groups be given a date when they can reopen soon well I absolutely take your point Hannah that for those families for whom their children haven't yet reached nursery age or statutory school age this is a period of concern and I know that those groups play a really important role in supporting new parents and the early development of babies and Welsh Government will continue as we look at our next review period at what steps we can take to safely unlock the restrictions that we're under but I can assure you that in all of those discussions the needs of children and young people are paramount thank you and also schools in Wales like you mentioned in your opening statement have reopened and we hope that many older students will be heading back to the classroom soon also but you've also mentioned about the lateral flow testing for years 11 to 13 are there any plans to open this up to younger years as we know they may have the virus that remain asymptomatic and this may contribute to the spread of the virus so is that something that Welsh Government is considering at this time we have not been recommended by our scientific advisors that asymptomatic testing of younger children is appropriate we do know that the the epidemiology around the disease in older teenagers is much more similar to that of adults and that's why we have taken the decision we have around access to lateral flow testing for older students being more appropriate and we will continue to review the evidence in that regard it's also important to remember that lateral flow testing twice a week is also available to those working in those school environments thank you Hannah I will now go to Will Hayward at Wales online good afternoon well good afternoon Mark Drakeford was on the radio at the weekend saying that the Welsh Government are looking at imposing a state local restriction after this week the hospital the hospital admissions data shows that admissions are nearly as low now as they were as they ever reached last summer cases per per hundred thousand are now below 50 which according to the Welsh Government's own tiering would put Wales alert level one the very lowest there is given all of this why are you proposing to continue with such severe restrictions on people's liberties after Friday by telling them to stay local how can you justify this well well can I say you're absolutely right there is data that we can all be massively encouraged by but those figures that we'll just referred to have been hard one by the Welsh public and we need to follow the advice that in unlocking restrictions we do not undo the tremendous hard work of the Welsh public we want to ensure that when we unlock we can do that on a permanent basis and not find ourselves in a situation where we will see cases rise quickly again and potentially hospital admissions rise quickly again and therefore the need to reimpose restrictions all advice to the Welsh Government is clear any unlocking must be done carefully and it must be done cautiously that will allow us to monitor the impact of community as spread because even with the vaccination program well I'm sure that you understand the science that if we let the virus spread rapidly within the community even if that leads to less pressure on hs that potentially leads to the situation where we can see the development of new variants we are at the critical juncture in the management of this pandemic where there is much to be hopeful and optimistic about but could so easily be thrown away by an in by an a an in cautious approach to unlocking where we still have great progress in the vaccination program and I think we're going to miss are we going to meet a very significant milestone today in Wales with regards to that vaccination program but still significant amounts of our population that haven't been vaccinated and that provides the perfect opportunity for the emergence of new variants thank you my question wasn't really about a widespread unlocking it wasn't suggesting about pubs or restaurants or anything like that it was simply suggesting that as admissions hospital are now lower than they've ever been since the start of the crisis that people might be able to go further from their house and five miles and just moving on from this does this suggest that the tiering system at the Welsh Government announced back in January is now completely redundant with regards to lifting restrictions and can you just explain the science behind someone traveling five miles to a park or 25 miles to go walking in the brecon beacons is part of your rationale to stop people traveling into Wales from across the border can you just explain the science behind the stay local rules that you're considering well I think we have to recognise that even within Wales we still see quite significant differences in the amount of community spread so if you look for instance at Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire which have very very low levels as compared to the figures in parts of north Wales even within Wales there is still some considerable difference in those figures although overall the news is good any decision to move from a stay at home message to a stay local message is part of that cautious approach to beginning to unlock measures and doing so in a way where we can monitor the impact of that before moving to the next stage and as I said all of the decisions that we are making will be guided by the best advice at this time but the consistent thread of all advices is that a big bang approach to unlocking measures and having people travel everywhere potentially needs to be factored in and considered and a cautious approach to unlocking the ability to travel is when I think that is in line with the overall government's approach especially in those communities well where actually there's a great deal of concern where we haven't had visitors in the beacons for very many many months suddenly having an influx of people into some of these areas could cause some concerns in those communities especially if those communities have been fortunate enough to bring their levels low so a cautious and gradual approach I think is one that throughout this pandemic has been valued by the Welsh public so is the tiering system now redundant no will the tiering system isn't redundant it is a it is a mechanism by which we can look at different tranches of levels of restrictions but if you don't mind well I'm going to move on to your colleague now at the national and it's over to gareth at axon dairy good afternoon gareth good afternoon minister you're announced in today's expected to increase the spend for people equivalent to 239 pounds in Wales on the ground can you just give us some examples of how that money will be spent to help the most disadvantaged peoples who've often been the hardest hit over the last 12 months thank you gareth and you're right the whilst all children's education has been interrupted at this time we do know that their cohorts of children for whom the effects of the pandemic have been greatest and those often are some of our most disadvantaged children or children for instance with additional learning needs the money will be made available to individual school settings for the head teacher to be able to employ additional staff that can help children so for instance last week I was able to visit a school here in splot in Cardiff and so far our our recruitment money has been able to employ new assistant teaching assistants in the foundation phase that are spending all of their time working on the literacy and the oracy skills of the children so really working on their speaking skills their language skills and their reading skills in a high school for instance I'm aware for instance of in one area they've employed a remote physics teacher and science teacher and that teacher has been able to provide additional online tutoring sessions to those in exam classes who are taking physics and other science A levels I'm aware of another secondary school where they've been able to cut the class sizes of their English language classes because they've been able to employ an additional member of staff but it really we do need to give the power to the head teachers to be able to make staffing decisions that really reflect the needs of their individual school but those are just some examples of the work that is going on in the ground to be able to support children at this time. Just about reform of Wales's education curriculum has been central to your role over the last five years in what way to you is the pandemic impacted that work and how do you hope that new curriculum can address the inequalities in education that have been laid bare over the last 12 months? Well you're absolutely right curriculum reform has been at the centre of the largest reform programme we've had in education in a generation and what our curriculum allows us to do is once again trust our teachers in their ability to design a curriculum that really engages the children in front of them rather than having to teach a curriculum that is set many many miles away with no thought about what those children in that class actually needs so we'll be able to unleash the creativity and the professionalism of our teaching workforce to really design a curriculum that meets the needs of the children sitting in front of them that engages them and that lights that fire underneath them that we talked about earlier that gives them a passion and a love of learning for the rest of their lifetime and it is particularly important that we do that now with the strong emphasis in our new curriculum around health and well-being of our learners you know we know that learning can't stick unless we address issues around well-being for children and young people and our new curriculum gives our professionals the space to do just that. Thank you well that brings us to the end of today's press conference thank you once again for your attention and for all your efforts in keeping Wales safe. Diolch yn fawr.
