Hey everybody, I'm Mike Foster. I'm the community lead at Stack Rocks, and I'm joined by Doran, who's the PM at for Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security. Quick show of hands. Who here has heard about Stack Rocks? That's awesome. I love to hear that. Stack Rocks obviously recently rebranded to Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security after the Red Hat purchase in 2021. It's been a fun two years. We have some cool announcements we want to share with you and I'm just going to go through the agenda real quick. Quick update, obviously. I'm not going to ramble about security and Kubernetes. We're going to get into the product where it's at a little bit of the mission as well as the roadmap. I'm going to introduce you to the new ACS Cloud Service. Doran's been working on this tirelessly and it's been really awesome to see a little bit of the Stack Rocks vision come to life in the last year. And then again how to get started and what's next for us a little bit of a roadmap. Any questions? I think we keep it to at lunch. We'll be over there. Come meet us after. So, security Kubernetes is always a hot topic. Six door cons kicking it off today too. I think Luke Kynes is here. Again, I think over the last seven years, everybody knows the DevOps movement. Big cultural shift. Really the change of security was always supposed to be a part of that, right? And we need our tools to actually enable developer growth to work with the speed of the development of containers. And that's what Stack Rocks and the Kubernetes native security application was designed to do. And for delivering business value, this is supposed to come with a huge list of notes. I'm not going to ramble about it, but in terms of the mission of Stack Rocks, really we want a faster time to resolution. We want to build those security policies early in the CICD process with notifications that developers know how to remediate their fixes. And we want to cut that on noise. We want to bridge that skill gap. So, I mean, I'm sure some security teams getting into Kubernetes, it's a little overwhelming. We want to make sure that they have the right context, that developers, operations, and security teams can share information easily. And hopefully asynchronously, if we can automate things. And then we want to break across functional barriers, provide guidance, enable collaboration in a way that we can do it all declaratively. So, again, security programs are successful when they deliver these key attributes. So, where does ACS fit in? For those, I mean, that's kind of nice that everybody knows about it, so I'll keep it brief. But we really excel in vulnerability management and pairing that with that Kubernetes-rich data of the configuration. All the different manifests to give you a more in-depth look at the risk in your cluster for your applications. We obviously use Kubernetes native controls, things like network policies for network segmentation. We generate those network policies as well to help out. And then, of course, we have remediation to help you meet compliance standards and an EBPF module as well for detection and runtime response. And it really is an awesome platform if you guys want to check it out. And then I'll hand it off to, oh, I got one more slide before Duran takes over. But again, we were the first Kubernetes native security platform. I'd like to point that out, the first in 2017 to really break out and take that title. And again, it's about building those policies and you'll be able to deploy and run infrastructure, doing it as, like, shift left as possible if I'm going to use the marketing term. And now Duran's going to take you through a little bit of what we've done over the last two years since the acquisition. Yeah, so what we've done in the last two years, Red Hat bought a StackWox and invest a lot of effort and resource in ramping a StackWox to be ACS. But in this situation today, we introduced a new dashboard that you can all see in our latest version. We create security and alert workflows for teams to use namespace and namespace annotation. And we add, I will not go over all the features, but we introduce a lot of new features and also integrate with the Stack with Red Hat in general. We integrate with Rail 9 and version 7.2. We introduce a lot of integration with our compliance framework, with compliance operator. And we also supporting all the cloud implementation of OpenShift today, including Rosa and Arrow. And we open sourced as well. We actually in there too. We open sourced. So we got to keep the StackWox name alive as open source StackWox. And now we have an even bigger announcement as well too. So for the last year, we're working on making ACS as a cloud service as a SaaS offering that allow customers to have a quick time to value. So you don't need to install central. You don't install the main components. You don't need to maintain it. We will maintain it for you in the cloud. And we also introduce, we will introduce a better way to, easy way to purchase it and use a regular cloud way of consuming services. And we will provide the full support, 24-7 support and SRE support on the background. And we also, if you run, you will be able to secure any Kubernetes cluster. And we face ACS today. But using cloud services will make it easier for customers to use and secure EKS, AKS and GKE. Some additional information. So again, we are launching first on AWS. But basically we will expand to the rest of the clouds. But you base ACS capabilities with cloud native and with Kubernetes native so you can support with any Kubernetes deployment and secure any Kubernetes deployment. And if you want to manage it yourself and use that operator, that's always your choice too. If you want to sign up, so we're releasing this as a service preview to start. We're looking for customer feedback, seeing what our customers need. So if you scan the QR code, it will bring you to a page for sign up. Again, there's that service preview process. So you're going to call with me eventually taking down all of your worries and fears and we'll get through it together. So again, scan that QR code. For more of the QR code, we'll pop up at the end as well. And you can always find us for more questions. Dharan, what else am I missing? And yeah, we're looking for customers to sign up for the early access. Use this product fast together. We have white glove services from our team helping you using the product and we're looking for feedback from you and other customers to get our product better and launch the best product as we can during GA. Yeah, and the goal is to start service preview in December as well. So it's coming up pretty fast. And then what's next for ACS specifically? We're working out the roadmap right now. Dharan knows the roadmap way better than I do, so I don't want to take over. But in terms of key priorities for us, always innovating in the security space, there's a lot of moving parts and I'm sure I think Luke's here. There's a lot of talk about security over at KubeCon right now. So security innovation, obviously the cloud service, working with integrating into Red Hat's existing portfolio with things like Quay and the different Clare scanners and things like that. And of course, the Stack Rocks open source project. Send your developers up there. It's really nice to get contributions and we'd love to have you on our community meetings. Dharan, I think you had some notes about some specifics. Yeah, so we run up our vulnerability management. One of the major things is we aligned with, we're working on the line with Clare. So we have one security, one vulnerability management tools for both all our open source or all our Red Hat stack. We enhanced the vulnerability management with a lot of new guidance and presentation and workloads. We had more and more capabilities for dashboarding and presenting capabilities. We launched already the Rail 9 UBI and Rail 9 RPM vulnerability scanning. We introduced the host vulnerability scanning and we will include it. It's already available but we will enhance the capability for developer local image scanning. For the DevOps or SecOps and compliance, we continue with the dashboarding, improving our dashboarding and including trends and history data including introducing a risk indicators that exist today, what we are improving it. We introduce our more capabilities on compliance including EKS compliance, Benchmark CS EKS compliance, and we're going to enhance our compliance experience with major introduction and interaction with the compliance operator already using on OpenShift and we're going to expand it to other platforms. On network security, we are working on moving the network security and policy management to shift left and now allowed DevOps team to create network policies. I was going to say, I'm giving a demo if anybody's at KubeCon on Thursday about this. The MPGuard project is really cool. Creating network policies at the developer level, checking it against some policies that your security teams checked in so that you can do it asynchronously and you don't have the security team coming in after and cramming down network policies on your developers. So it's awesome. The MPGuard project, if anybody wants to look it up or come meet me at the Red Hat booth on Thursday at 10.50. But again, that's a huge one I think for network security because it's a very powerful Kubernetes native tool and we want people to implement it in a way that works for their teams. And yeah, so for community projects, Stacrox project, obviously, Stacrox.io, you can find out all your information there. We use the Clara scanner underneath the hood and so does Quay as well. Falco is a project that we contribute to and we love them. They do some great work. They help with a lot of our runtime scanning and the KubeLinter project. So we can extend some of those checks to the developer. We can do some quick configuration checks against your YAML files to see what's necessarily the most secure.  We'd love you to sign up. Even if you don't necessarily think you're the best use case, sign up. Let us contact you. Let's see what you're working with. And we'd love to even get feedback from you if you're not using it and why you're not using it. So we really appreciate you listening to us. Hope you have a great lunch and enjoy the rest of comments. Thank you for having us.


Good afternoon everyone, here in the room and also a warm welcome to everybody on our live stream on the webcast in the media center and globally. Very happy to have you join us for this exciting announcement on an event in the coming year with the World Economic Forum and Japan. I will leave the details of this announcement to the gentlemen to my left, but I have the great honor to announce them to you. We are joined today by Hakobun Shimomura, the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and even more important for us today, the Minister of Olympics and Paralympic Games of Japan. And to my immediate left is David Aikman, managing director of the World Economic Forum and head of our new champion communities. So without further ado and mindful of all of your tight schedules, I'm handing over to David. David, please. Thank you Georg. Ladies and gentlemen, the world is at a crossroads. Either we go down the path of popular antagonism and division or we pursue the path of greater understanding and coming together as a society around shared values. Nowhere is this more evident in sport and culture, where the world comes together and the cultural and sports performances that we see unite humanity. For some months at our various meetings, we have been discussing how we could bring the world together, particularly the youth of the world with the Minister Shimomura of Japan, looking at how we might take advantage of the coming Olympiad and see what we could do to contribute to those fundamental human values expressed in the Olympic Games. I'm very excited to ask the Minister to share with us an important announcement. Minister. I'm going to speak in Japanese. We have just signed with Professor Shueff, Chairman of the World Economic Forum, about this. It's actually not the official name, but World Forum on Sports and Culture. So about the content, let me explain to you. I'm going to speak in Japanese. I'm going to speak in Japanese. Mr. Hakubun Shimomura, Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, said that the following concerning the World Forum on Sports and Culture in Japan. Mr. Hakubun Shimomura, Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in Japan has started discussion with business entities and local governments in order to jointly commence preparation toward holding World Forum on Sports and Culture in Japan in cooperation with the World Economic Forum in fall 2016. Soon after the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Minister Shimomura would like to establish an effective organization for the preparation of the World Forum on Sports and Culture in Japan, which is a tentative name, which will be read mainly by the Japanese government. Mr. Hakubun Shimomura, Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in Japan has expressed his support for the World Economic Forum. Mr. Hakubun Shimomura, Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in Japan has expressed his support for the World Economic Forum in fall 2016. Mr. Hakubun Shimomura, Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in Japan has expressed his support for the World Economic Forum in fall 2016. Mr. Hakubun Shimomura, Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in Japan has expressed his support for the World Economic Forum in fall 2016. Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in Japan has expressed his support for the World Economic Forum in fall 2016. Mr. Hakubun Shimomura, Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology in Japan has expressed his support for the World Economic Forum in fall 2016. Therefore, the Japanese side intends to carry on further discussions with the the World Economic Forum concerning details of the cooperation with the World Economic Forum soon in order to outline the details regarding the event. We have just signed agreement shortly before this news conference, so the Japan side would like to start discussing the details with the World Economic Forum by the end of March. That is my statement. Thank you, Minister. I think from the World Economic Forum side, and I'm responsible for the youth member communities of the World Economic Forum, the young global leaders and the global shapers, they're very excited to come together and combine efforts for this event, which can really bring together cultural leaders, sport leaders, and the youth of the world to look at shared human values and the contribution that can make to society. Thank you, David, and thank you, Minister Shimomura. We will now open the floor for a couple of questions for the benefit of our online audience if you could state your name and your organization, and there's a microphone to be had. So are there any questions? Okay, I think everything has been clear to this point. Thank you very much. Thank you very much for joining in, and let me close by saying again how honored the World Economic Forum is to work with Japan towards this goal. Thank you very much. Thank you.


Trump-Biden go on total warpath against one. The Committee on Oversight and Reform to the US House of Representatives, led by Republican James Coma, launched an investigation against Joe Biden. He's suspected of the same actions that Donald Trump was accused of, the illegal retrieval of classified documents from the White House. The investigation begins just when Biden has to publicly confirm that he will run for the second term. Senior Research Fellow at the Russian Academy of Sciences, Institute for US and Canadian Studies Vladimir Vasilev, told the newspaper that these events indicated that the former and incumbent presidents are waging in his expression a war of mutual extermination. It is not an accident that the scandal broke out after Trump's significant victory. Slightly eking out a victory on the 15th try, which is unprecedented in the US, the House elected Kevin McCarthy as Speaker. Trump wanted to see precisely this Republican in his office. He got the opportunity to reciprocate in kind and used it. Now the Biden administration won't be forgiven any misstep. Earlier, the standoff between Trump and the president was a one-way street, yet the Biden administration clearly overestimated its capabilities. Now the war of extermination will only escalate, the analyst thinks. In his opinion, this war may lead to a trade-off. Democrats and Republicans will contest to both Trump and Biden leaving. According to the expert, another consequence of this conflict may be a decreased interest by the ruling elites in foreign policy. With Americans fighting each other, there will simply be no time for it.


Okay, so we have taken type 1 project time, last class I am talking about, we have taken type 1 project time. Okay, what else we have here? The velocity is going to be in front of us. Okay, to find out. Understood. Now if I want as my y coordinate and this as my x coordinate, but initially 0, right? So finally what is x equals to? After time t, the value of u cos theta into t. So this is x. So this is going to be u sin theta. Okay. So now I have u cos theta. Substitute that here with y equals to x. The degree of 1 and degree of 2. So this kind of equation represents parabola. You will learn about past coordinate geometry. But it is good to know that. So you can see that when you put this equal to 0, you get x max which is equal to your range. Right? You can see that yourself. Right? So this is the result. Minus half s square by let's say t. Okay. And then what? Use g divided by, g divided by 1 by 2. You can substitute this value and value of g. You will get the value of shens in which equation of path is given to you. Not the initial velocity and initial angle. Then you have to correlate with the equation of project time. What? No. How? For g is already there. Sorry. g need not be there. So 1 divided by r is equal to 1. Understand? Understood? So do not remember the function for every one. Equation s equal to up plus half it is along x axis and along y axis. Just write it. Don't solve anything. Along x and y axis write down this equation. Initial velocity x axis is what? Step number one. Decide where it is 0. Why? Because y direction is per line. So initial velocity along y axis. Acceleration along x axis is what? And along minus g. Now if I take point 1 and point 2. What is the displacement along x axis? R. R. R? Displacement along x axis is R? Alright. And displacement along y axis is what? Minus x. Minus x. It is down. You are taking all the vectors. Substitute these values. Minus h is equal to minus half gt square. Yes or no? Between point 1 and point 2. Alright. So luckily this y axis equation will give this under root 2x by g. Now this time of flight something strange about it. What is that? It will fall like this. Throw it with higher velocity. Small deviation because of air drag. But air is not. So this is my. So the range I will find out. Velocity is the kind of the root 2x by g. Because t I have got from the y axis equation. So you can get the value of 2x. Understood. This is time 2 vector which is seen in the final answer. Alright. So even if you don't remember and that is point 2. By the way what was the biggest question? Naturally because it is vertical axis on its own. But here it is not and then along y axis. Do it quickly. Done. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. Sir. be in that mode which I am telling you what people think minus h if it's simple change in y coordinate is minus half dv square so I am now telling you one thing how will you find the maximum height to maximum height it's your height do it now it's attempted find out the maximum height this is how much it is see you so v by is the u square sin square theta minus 2g into into what it's y coordinate so y coordinate will be u square sin square theta divided by 2g now this is my u square sin square theta divided by 2g after that y coordinate will be 0 what? I will use this equation between so v by is u sin theta and equation is minus g then s by is equal to 3 what? why didn't you take s as y? this is the basis s y this is s y so here there will be minus u sin theta into t it's going down


Hello everyone, it's Missy. Thank you for watching. For today's video I wanted to share some everyday hairstyles so hopefully these are easy enough that you can do them before school or before work. Make sure to like and subscribe, click the notification bell, all the usual things so you never miss any future uploads and let's get started! For the first style I'm going to start by doing a deep side part on the left side of my head. This will just help the braid be a little bit more dramatic if the part is a little bit deeper and I'm also going to be spraying my hair with a medium hold hairspray just to keep the braid as smooth as possible. You could use a pomade or a hair wax. I didn't want to use anything too heavy since I am doing all four of these hairstyles in one sitting so I'm just using a medium hold hairspray and I'm going to start by picking up a small section on the left side right near the hairline and I'm going to divide this into three smaller pieces and since I'm doing a Dutch braid I want to cross the side strands underneath the middle strand so the braid sits out on top of my hair and after the first stitch I'm going to begin incorporating new sections of hair into the braid so I am bringing in hair on both sides. The top side will be from along the part line and then the bottom side will be from along my hairline and I only brought in about three sections of hair just because I didn't want to have any bumps in the braid further back on my head and I'm spraying it with hairspray as I go just to help smooth down any loose baby hairs since the braid is right along my hairline. I'm going to be angling the braid towards the back of my head so once I've brought in those three sections and the braid is behind my ear I'm going to stop adding in hair and just continue braiding the section a little further down just because I want to have a little bit of length since I'm not quite sure exactly where I want to pin it yet. So once I've braided the section far enough back that I know I'll be okay where I pin it I'm going to lay it around the side of my head so I'm going to move some of the hair from the top of my head out of the way and secure the braid with a couple bobby pins and what I like to do is slide the bobby pin into the braid and then kind of push it back up the braid so it's sitting underneath right along the braid this will hide it underneath the hair so that it doesn't stick out anywhere and doesn't show and then the other hair won't get caught in the bobby pin and stick out so once the braid is all pinned then I can let down the hair from the crown on my head and it will lay down and cover the very back of the braid and then once that's all pinned I can go back over the braid and make it a little bit wider I always do this with my braids if I want them to show up better so I'm just going to spray it with hairspray and kind of smooth down the edges this will help smooth down flyways if there's anything kind of sticking out and then I'm just going to gently pull on the sides of the braids outward so the braid is a little bit wider this is totally an extra step but it always helps the braid show up better for the second style I'm going to be doing two braids along the top of my head with a little mini bun so since I want them to both be about the same size I'm going to do a middle part or close to it I actually do mine slightly off-center I just find this a little more flattering so then I'm going to do another part about an inch or so to the right of the middle part to divide off the hair that I want to use for my first braid I'm also going to clip down the side hair that I won't be using so then I'm just going to spray the section with hairspray and comb through it and then pick up my first piece for the braid so I'm splitting this into three smaller pieces again and crossing the side strands under the middle strand after the initial cross under on both sides I'm going to begin incorporating new sections of hair into the braid so I'm just crossing one side under the middle picking up a new section of hair from the side of the braid and then crossing it under the middle strand as well and I'm going to continue this pattern alternating between the left side and the right side working my way along the top of my head bringing in hair to both sides of the braid from along this section that I initially divided out until the braid reaches the back of my head at my crown then once I've brought in all of the hair from the section and the braid reaches the crown of my head I'm going to continue the braid a little further down and then just clip it off to use later on so once that braid is done I'm going to do the same thing and create another Dutch braid right next to the first one on the opposite side so I'm going to create another part line an inch or so over from the middle and then clip down the bottom hair so I don't bring it into the braid and I'm spraying the section with some more hairspray and combing through it to smooth down any flyaway pieces and then I'm going to pick up a small section near the hairline and divide it into three pieces for the braid again I'm crossing the side strands under the middle strand and after the first stitch of the braid I'm going to begin incorporating new sections of hair from along the braid and work my way towards the back of my crown once the braid reaches the crown of my head again and I've brought in all of the hair that I divided out from the section then I'm just going to clip off the braid so it doesn't unravel and now that both braids are done I'm going to create the little bun at the crown of my head so I'm going to pick up the ends of the braids and remove the clips that were holding them I'm going to twist the two sections together and wrap them clockwise creating a gap in the twist and then I'm going to pull the ends through the gap to form a knot in the hair and then I'm just going to continue wrapping the ends around the bun clockwise until it's all wrapped up in a spiral and then I'm just going to grab a clear elastic band and wrap it over the bun to help secure it in place and then I'm just going to take some bobby pins and pin down the edges of the bun this will help create the shape that I want for my bun and it will also help hold it in place so that it doesn't fall loose the next hairstyle is a headband style so I'm going to start by brushing my hair away from my face and I'm picking up a small section right in front of my left ear you can start on the left side or the right side it doesn't matter both will work and I'm going to divide this piece into three smaller sections for my braid again I'm doing a Dutch braid so I'm going to be crossing the side strands under the middle strand and just alternate between crossing the left and right side strands under the middle strand and as I go I'm also going to be incorporating small pieces of hair into the braid and for this particular style I've noticed that I prefer to mostly bring in hair from along my hairline so the front side of the braid instead of from both the front and the back sides of the braid every few stitches of the braid though I will add in a tiny piece of hair to the back side of the braid this will just help keep it anchored against my head I don't want the backside of the braid to be able to completely lift up but I don't want to bring in an equal amount of sections on both sides of the braid because I want the backside to be flush with the hair that's going straight back over the crown of my head and I'm also bringing in smaller sections simply to keep the size of the braid on the smaller side and a little bit more symmetrical you can bring in larger pieces or smaller pieces but sometimes you start out small and then you get bigger so if you just keep them all small then the braid stays small and it looks a little bit more uniform and then once the braid crosses over to the top of my head I'm going to switch my hands so my left hand is in front of my face instead of next to it this will help direct the hair so the braid stays closer to the head and goes towards the right side and then you won't get weird bumps and gaps in the braid as well and then once the hair reaches the right side of my head I'm going to switch my hands again so my left hand is going over my head and my right hand is next to my ear switching the positioning of your hands is very important because it will help determine the angle and direction that the braid is going and it will ensure that it'll lay flatter against the head once you're done so as I continue the braid I'm still incorporating small sections from along the hairline and just a couple extra pieces to the backside of the braid simply to help anchor it in place and then once the braid reaches right above my right ear I'm going to braid a few more stitches of the braid and then pin it in place so I'm going to move some of the hair from the top of my head out of the way and secure the braid with a couple bobby pins and again I like to slide them underneath the braid so they're going upwards along the middle of the braid this will be a really strong hold keeping the braid in place while also hiding the bobby pins at the same time so once it's all pinned then I'm just going to lay a couple of pieces from the top of my head over the end of the braid to help hide it for the fourth hairstyle I'm going to be creating a dutch braid along the top of my head so I'm going to start by brushing all of my hair straight back from the hairline and then I'm picking up a section for my braid right at the top of my head right behind my forehead so I'm going to divide this section into three pieces for my braid and I'm doing the same braid as before so I'm crossing the side strands underneath the middle strand so the braid sits out on top of my head so I'm just crossing the side strands under the middle strand and bringing in a new section on both sides right underneath the braid and I did bring in hair from along my temples so the hair was pulled back from my face but I also made sure to leave out enough hair that it covered my ears I'm also using the same medium hold hairspray that I used before to keep the hair going into the braid smoother with less flyaway pieces sticking out and for this style I'm only going to incorporate about three sections of hair on both sides of my head I just wanted to add in some hair from along the sides near my temples but I also left out enough to cover my ears this braid is a little bit bigger that's why I'm bringing in larger sections and less sections based off where I'm starting the braid I only need to bring in three sections of hair before it reaches the crown of my head so I'm going to use a medium hold hair spray like I used before to keep the hair going into the braid smoother and just with less flyaway pieces then once the braid reaches the crown of my head I'm going to tie off the end of the braid with a clear elastic band and once it's all tied off I'm going to go back over the braid like usual and pull on the edges so it's a little bit wider I just like doing this so the braid shows up a little bit better then of course I wrapped a small piece of hair around the elastic and secured it underneath with a bobby pin I didn't show this but this is an extra step I just like to do this so that the hairstyle looks a little bit cleaner that wraps up today's video let me know in the comment section which of the hairstyles was your favorite also be sure to like and subscribe click that notification bell all the usual things and then you'll never miss any future videos and I will see you next time


Welcome to Digital Asset News, the top stories in crypto, currency, and digital assets, and break them down to bite-sized pieces. Today, we've only got one story, and it's an article that really makes you think about the associations between Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, and digital assets in the real world. And it's the article titled, How Bitcoin Is Like Ham Radio. We're going to go over a lot of different things, and it's going to get pretty deep. And we're going to go over things that just happened recently, where Bitcoin transaction records are not protected by a Fourth Amendment, U.S. court rules. But we're going to get into all those things and more in just a bit. But first, let's take a look at the market. So it is July 5th. It is roughly 1030 Texas time. And it looks like Bitcoin is pretty much trading sideways yet again, 9,038. Not really too much going on. I think it's been dipping below 8,000 here and there, or in the 8,000 level, but nothing really fantastic. Ethereum 225, Tether's Tether, XRP, XRP. Bitcoin Cash Cardano is slipping into that sixth spot as of yesterday after that huge announcement, which we took a look at that states that Coinbase is going to be doing the custody service for Cardano, which really means that Cardano is going to be listed on Coinbase. And there's a little bit of a dip today at 2.6%, but still, I see big things for Cardano coming up. Bitcoin SV like CoinCrypto.com now in the number nine spot. So interesting things are happening, but not really too much going on. It's a Sunday, so let's just jump right in. So first and only up, I came across this article and I wasn't really going to talk too much about it, but as I read it again and again and again, it's just, there were some things in there that made a lot of sense that would actually help us answer some questions moving forward and you'll understand what I mean in a second. So the article is titled How Bitcoin is like Ham Radio. This is by JP Koenig, Conning Koenig. And I was like, well, who's this guy? JP Koenig, he's a columnist, worked as an equity researcher at a Canadian brokerage firm and is a financial writer at a large Canadian bank. He runs the popular Moneyness blog. So he knows, you know, what he's talking about. He's got some different points of opinion. And, but it was fascinating to go over it and just kind of peel back all the layers that he was talking about. So basically the first paragraph lays it all out. You know, it says Bitcoin is old. It takes days to download the Bitcoin blockchain, just like it took forever to download software back in 94. And I can remember those days. It sucked. Internet took forever. But these days, a little bit quicker. And it goes on a state in an age of instant email and real-time Zell payments. A Bitcoin transfer takes 60 minutes to safely settle. It's more volatile than gold. Thousands of computers are constantly replicating each other's work, making it vastly inefficient. And lastly, there's no privacy. Like a medieval marketplace, anyone can see everybody's holdings. So I know you're right now screaming at the screen because you're like, that's fruit, that's ridiculous. And I can't believe he said that. But in honesty, every single point there is right. There's just different levels and different layers of what is correct and how we disseminate that information. So when you are talking to, and the reason, well, actually, I'm going to say this, the reason why I brought this about is because these types of arguments are going to come up. So as time goes on, I believe that 2020 and 2021 are going to be big years for cryptocurrency assets. So I try to educate people as much as possible. And these types of arguments are going to come up. So I think what better way than to talk about them now and bring them out in the open, so we can have that discussion. So the basic thing is this, when these types of things happen and you are presented with these arguments, really what you have to take a look at is how much of this is true and just kind of break it down layer by layer. So let's break down each point. So first up, Bitcoin is old. That's true. I mean, if you want to look at, well, I guess if you want to compare it to gold, it's like just scratching the surface because Bitcoin is only about 10 years old. But as far as technology goes, a 10-year-old computer, I don't think we'd ever really deal with that, especially on a Microsoft computer.  But if you are looking at a decade-old computer, that's old. Technology, that's a decade-old. We don't usually use that unless you want to use Swift, which is like 40 years old, but whatever. So in that part, yes, it's true. However, even though it's old, it's battle tested. It's been through a lot of ups and downs and it's never been hacked. So if we look at like that part, you're like, well, it is old, but it's dependable. So if you want to trade, do a trade-off, sure. Next part is it takes days to download the Bitcoin blockchain, just like it took forever to download software back on it for. And I was like, I have never actually taken a look and seen how long it would take to download a full node. Now, I don't know what your status is. If you are super into Bitcoin and running a node, then you know this answer. But I think for the majority of us, I'm just guessing here, you watching the video, you might not know how long it takes to download a full node. So let's take a look real quick and how long it takes to do that. So first of all, what's a full node? Full node is a program that fully validates transactions and blocks, almost all full nodes, also health and network by accepting transactions and blocks from other full nodes, validating those transactions and blocks and then relaying them to further full nodes. So that was kind of boring, but let's get to the good stuff. So down, down, down. This is how much it would take to download a full node. 200 gigabytes of free space, accessible at a minimum, read-write speed of 100 megabytes per second, an unmeter connection, a connection with highly high upload limits or a connection you regularly monitor, doesn't exceed upload. It's common for full nodes and a high speed connections to use 200 gigabyte uploads or more a month. Download usage is around 20 gigs, plus an additional one any five, the first time you start your node and even about six hours per day that the full node can be left running. So look, if you're going to download a full node, it's going to take a while.  So in that respect, when he says here, it takes forever to download. I mean, in the grand scheme of things, if we want to download like an MP3, any kind of like streaming service or like a song or whatever else, it's relatively quick. Let's be honest. But if we're talking about a full node, in today's world, it would be like forever. In any states, in an age of instant email and real-time Zell payments, which is what we're all used to, a Bitcoin transfer could take or takes 60 minutes to safely settle. That is also true. So if we take a look at how long it would take to settle transactions, usually it's actually six. Six confirmations are able to settle that Bitcoin transactions. And if we take a look at Kraken, they say pretty much the same thing. So if you don't know, what are confirmations? When a transaction is broadcasted to the network, it has to wait to be included in a block by the miners. When the transaction has been included in a mine block, the transaction has received one confirmation. With each subsequent block, the number of confirmations increase for the transaction. So just so you know, a block is mined every 10 minutes. So if it's take six, let me do some quick math here. Six times 10 is 60. Check my math. 60 minutes. That should be right. And then it further states to avoid the risk of double spending. Funds aren't credited or settled until a certain number of confirmation that's taken place. See the list below. And they actually give you a list of all the different types of cryptocurrency assets and how many confirmations are required. So Bitcoin Cash, and correct me if I'm wrong in the description, but this is what it has for Kraken, which is 15 confirmations, which takes two and a half hours. And then of course just Bitcoin, six confirmation, which would be 60 minutes. So in this regard, again, he is correct. However, I will say this in the, when he talks about the age of Zell and all those different things about how fast it actually is. Zell in the United States is one of the fastest ones that we have, and it's pretty much instant. You know, it just goes bank to bank. And the problem with Zell, and me as a small business owner is I can't pay other businesses per se when I have large transactions. So if you're just doing like, and this is, and every bank is different. So like Ali, you can do up to 500 bucks a day. Bank of America, Capital One Chase, it's around 2,000, 2,500. So that's fantastic. However, if you're paying, you know, good amount of money as far as businesses go, you're not using Zell. So like for me and my manufacturers, I have a manufacturer, well, I used to have one in China. I don't use China anymore. I have one in India, and then I'll have one in Arizona. And just to pay the one from Arizona to use my bank, it has to go through a wire transfer because it's much more than 5,000 or much more than 1,200. And I've talked to this before. So I am the faster I get things out, the better it is for my business, and the better it is for every business out there. I mean, time is money. So I went to pay my manufacturer on a Friday. I put the wire transfer in. They didn't get to it until late. They said, yeah, get the cutoff date. So I had to wait Friday, then Saturday and Sunday. Banks were not working. Then on Monday, they finally got around to around three or four. Manufacturer called me up, said, hey, we were through the funds. And then Tuesday, they shipped everything out. So I'm waiting essentially five days, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and then Tuesday. So four or five days. And if that happens once a month or every couple months, when I have to pay for these products, I'm losing about a month after, you know, or more after about a year of just time that I just wasted because of the banks and their inefficiencies. So when he talks about Zell, yes, peer to peer and retail, that type of thing. Sure. We're talking about businesses. It is woefully inefficient. And that's where I believe cryptocurrencies assets are going to rule. Now, next he states it's more volatile than gold. And again, very true. Gold only goes up and down very slowly. However, when we're talking about value and how the markets actually react, volatility is actually a good thing. So for Bitcoin in general, it is very volatile. However, as far as 2020 goes, and this was a little bit old, this I think was done in May by Tom Lee, he takes a look at what is the year to date return. And so far, Bitcoin has beat US treasuries and gold 39 12.5. Also the Nasdaq S&P 500 loans, I mean, world topics, I mean, oil, everything you can think of, it's kicking the tar out of it. And that's just this year. Now, I don't know what's going to happen at the end of the year. However, we take a look in history, just one year back, Bitcoin beat Nasdaq S&P 500, else 2000 gold topics, oil, everything else by a large margin. So yes, it is volatile, but that's okay. If you're making money, I don't think you care so much about the volatility. And that's one of the things. Now, we want to take a look back even farther. Let's take a look at, you know, the last decade or so. So from 2011, all the way up to now, there's been a pretty good return. And yes, it's been, you know, wildly volatile. If you're like, man, this is this 1000, 468% gain in 2011 is just too volatile for me. And maybe it's time to get out. Not to say there hasn't been downturns 2014 and 18 being the exception. But overall, not too bad. And if you've invested in other altcoins like I have, you've done pretty well. It just depends on when you got in. So volatility, sure. So next, he states that 1000 computers are constantly replicating each other's work, making it vastly inefficient. And again, that's also true. So when we talk about decentralization, that's the whole beauty of having 1000s and 1000s of nodes. So we take a look at this is from bitnotes.io, we can definitely see that yeah, there is a 10,000 plus nodes throughout the entire globe, we can see most of these are in definitely America parts of South America, Asia and Australia. So when you have these many nodes, and it takes a long time for transactions, there is a little piece of inefficiency that is true. However, it is also much safer. And we all know the different aspects of decentralization. And I can tell you this, if you have just, I don't know, one node, and that node gets wiped away, well, everything is essentially gone. And that's actually happened when I was a director of nursing, one of my different branches, they stored everything on one computer. And what happened when they had a flood, all those medical records were essentially gone. Now this is before we had cloud computing, everything else, remember, I'm kind of old. So these things, that's not so great, especially when we're talking about centralization versus decentralization. So yeah, it takes a little bit more time, but wow, it's a little bit more safer. So then moving forward, we might also take a look at sharding and how that's all going to affect the crypto current digital asset space, especially with Ethereum, coming up with Ethereum 2.0, and Zilliqa also doing it. So wow, we'll see how it all works out and how efficient it actually makes it. This one is very interesting. It says, and lastly, there's no privacy, like a medieval marketplace, anyone can see everybody's holdings. And there on this channel, there is a wide swath of people. There is on one side, it is chaos and anarchy rules, just do whatever you want. And that's fine. And that's just what it is. On the other spectrum are people who are like, let's shut it all down, China communism, and we need to have like a surveillance state. But I think the majority of people are like me, and they're somewhere in the middle, wherever that's on like a left, medium, or right, it doesn't matter. I just think that that's what a lot of people are, maybe you are probably in that middle. So I think with transactions and things being private, is sometimes good, but for a lot of the large corporations, and I can think of like Enron and Bernie Madoff, if they would have had more transparency, maybe we wouldn't have the collapse of those individuals and corporations and comrades that actually happened and took a lot of people down with it. So that's just my opinion. But there's another flip side to that. And I think this is going to start a lot of debate. This was a article just came out yesterday, Bitcoin transaction records not protected by the fourth amendment US court rules. So real quick, the fourth amendment in the United States, it prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures. So now, and I think this has always been the case, the government or anybody else can take a look at your transactions, especially if you have them on in exchange. So it goes on to say the Louisiana court issued the ruling in connection with the case against Richard Gradkowski, who was sentenced to 70 months in federal prison last year after paying for access to child pornography websites using cryptocurrency. And before we start to go and say, oh, you're fear mongering and blah, blah, blah, this is a real case. This is actually going on. And when you have these types of things, I know some people are like, Hey, you know, let it all open. And that's fine. And we should just let people be people and blah, blah, blah. But when you have these types of instances, and you're trying to track down illegal activity, there is a little tit for tat, there's a little give and take. And I believe that you should be able to do this. I mean, if we don't, if we don't, we have people just running amok. And again, that goes back to the chaos and anarchy. If you're on that side, you're on that side. But I don't think anybody on this channel can get behind what this person is doing. So I'll just leave it at that. But it goes on to say the FBI subpoenaed crypto exchange coin based track his payments to the list of websites. And that's how they were able to arrest him. But in his appeal, Gradkowski argues that he has reasonable expectation of privacy in his crypto transactions. Although he believes the law enforcement valid his fourth amendment rights, when he sees his records, the panel judges rule that the FBI agents acted accordingly. And this is why they stated Bitcoin users have the option to maintain a high level of privacy by transacting without a third party intermediary. But that requires technical expertise. So Bitcoin users may elect to sacrifice some privacy by transacting through an intermediary such as Coinbase. Gradkowski thus lacked a privacy interest in the records of his Bitcoin transactions on Coinbase. And that's essentially it. They said, look, if you have the expertise and you want to go that route, you could, but you didn't use the intermediary, which is Coinbase, which is why we got those records, which is why you're busted, which is why you're going to jail. So in all honesty, I will say this, for Coinbase, I have not recommended Coinbase for a little bit of time now because of their shutdowns. They've had three shutdowns in four months, and it always happens when Bitcoin, pumps or goes lower. So I think that it's just not acceptable that an $8 billion company keeps having these same issues and their customer service is beyond awful. That's that. Those are two issues. The third issue is that they also have signed an agreement with the IRS and the DEA, which to look at different transactions. And that's fine. I just kind of think to myself, well, look, if you're going to allow subpoenas to happen, which they can, this is it. If I am on a watch list for illicit activities and they want to do a subpoena, okay, so that's one thing. But if I have to go through the KYC, if I have to go through the AML, if I have to get a 1099, which I pay my taxes, I've been doing this since I was a 15-year-old kid, how many more hoops do we got to jump through? And it just seems like just more and more and more and more. If you need something, get a subpoena. Go through the courts like that. And that's the reasons why I'm not on or with Coinbase right now. There's three reasons. However, I am going to change my stance at some point because we have to choose a lesser of two evils. And I think when the bull run happens, the parabolic bull run happens, we're going to need an off-ramp. And you can use a bunch of different places. You can use Kraken, you can use Gemini, you can use Binance. If you have that ability in U.S., I don't want to live in Texas and they don't allow that in Texas. So I need to keep my options open. And I think at some point, I will have to use them as an off-ramp. So that's one of those caveats. Anyhow, let's get into the meat and potatoes of this article. So like Ham Radio, Bitcoin is for hobbyist. I'm not talking here about the front expectulators who keep their coins at Coinbase, which we just talked about. I'm talking about users who can run a full node, use Lightning, security store their own coins and make frequent transactions with this stuff. So I think the majority of people on this channel, we don't buy a lot of things with Bitcoin. I mean, maybe you do. I don't know. But I don't run a full node. I don't buy a thing with Bitcoin. I'm storing it on my Nano Ledger and that's pretty much it. So he's talking about the people who are like the hobbyists, just like the Ham Radio people. So going on, it states, only a hobbyist has the time and patience to match the skills that qualify them as a Bitcoiner. Same goes for Ham Radio. Setting up a Ham Radio, scanning frequencies and finding the local repeater all take time and effort to master. So just so you don't know, this is a Ham Radio, this little goofy thing right here. It uses a very little amount of electricity and you can transmit signals and people can pick these up. They're very popular back in the day. I mean, they're still, I guess, somewhat popular, but people use them near as much. However, that's what they actually are. Then he states, Bitcoin is dream about mainstream adoption and achieving hyper-Bitcoinization. That's a good word. The overthrow of fiat currency by Bitcoin, but this is unlikely for the same reason. Ham Radio has never gone mainstream because people want fun and simple to use iPhone, not in Archaic Ham Radio. I gotta say that's true. So people embrace the internet when it wasn't so technical. In the beginning, I mean, before even Netscape and things like that, no one was using the internet. No one was using, no one wanted to set up all the different things and TCP, IP and all those different, I mean, no one was writing code. It only took off when all that stuff was hidden and my mom could use it. When my mom can use Bitcoin, it'll take off. That's all I'm gonna say. And people don't care about protocols. Like I said, nobody wants to see how the sausage is made. They just want the sausage. So again, crypto will take off when my mom is able to use it. That's how I know it's gonna go mainstream, not to where it is right now. I mean, look, you have to copy like a 26 character code and you kind of hope it gets there and use the NNL ledger. I mean, it's different. It's just different. I mean, we've got to hide all that stuff and make it just super simple. And that's when it'll take off. So now I was gonna talk about some things about disasters and this kind of makes sense on one spectrum. I'll say why. So say a disaster hits like an earthquake, the cutting edge communication system that we're so effective, suddenly go down, cell phone services crippled, electricity isn't available, forget WhatsApp, it's impossible to connect. Here he just talks about, I'm just gonna skip over this. Here he talks about how ham radios were used when Hurricane Katrina was hit, when Hurricane Maria, because all the electricity went down and ham radios were pretty easy to use, didn't require much electricity, you could just crank them and then they could communicate and actually save a lot of people's lives. So he's comparing a ham radio to Bitcoin during the total economic collapse. And he says, like Bitcoin, ham radio is anti-fragile. Ham radio operators are independent nodes, working together, they can create a functioning decentralized peer-to-peer communication system. Ham radios are light, energy efficient, the rest reliable on vulnerable centralized systems. And like the Bitcoin network, a ham radio has plenty of redundancy. If one node isn't operating, others will still be monitoring the channels, just like if one node out of the 10,500 nodes goes down, not a big deal. They can just keep going, right? And then moving on, he talks about, look, he goes, the reason why Bitcoin is going to make it is because when everything goes down and people like Venezuela and Nigeria start to use it more and more, which they are right now, and then it kind of spreads to the rest of the world, which I don't think that's going to happen. I don't think Bitcoin is there for the total economic collapse of the dollar. I just don't see that happening. Then he says, here's another clue, people who sell salvia, a product with hallucinogenic properties that's legal in some US states are prohibited from accepting credit cards. They take Bitcoin instead. Same thing with cannabis here in the United States. It's a weird thing. The federal government still says it's a level one controlled substance just like heroin, which is ridiculous. But individual states have legalized it. So the federal is one side, states are one side, and they can't get banks to open up accounts and store their money. So I believe some do take Bitcoin, not for sure, but a lot of just take cash and they have to hide it and make sure no one robs them with all the cash that they have in the registers. So it's just pretty much awful. And then lastly, to sum it all up, he pretty much gives the worst case scenario. He says, it's good to have decentralized backups. However, as Joel Carlson has suggested, we shouldn't want to live in a world where these backups have found mainstream usage. If five years from now, everyone became a ham radio operator that could only be due to a natural disaster as permanently crippled our infrastructure. Likewise, if five years from now hyper Bitcoinization has occurred and everyone has become a Bitcoiner, it will be due to some sort of yet unknown calamity. And that's what just knock us back to the stone ages, essentially, you have to understand that I think some people truly believe that Bitcoin will only make its way if everything totally collapses. And that's it. And that's not the narrative that we should be spitting out because who wants to live in the Mad Max Thunderdome crazy world? Nobody does. But I got to tell you, it was a pretty fun article to go over and just kind of, you know, go with those different little points. And it kind of leads me to this next point about gold, because if you kind of replaced Bitcoin with gold in here, you kind of do the same thing as far as the heart of the matter. And this was a question that was posed to me by a subscriber. They said, well, what's the intrinsic value of Bitcoin? Because the intrinsic value of gold, I mean, you can sell, you can have gold for jewelry. True. You can have gold used as like a super or as a conductor on motherboards for computers. True. And so what is the intrinsic value of gold? And I got to answer that with I had to answer a question with a question, which is what's the intrinsic value of fiat? Because really, it's just a bunch of paper. It doesn't it's not as valued as the paper it is printed on. What's also the intrinsic value of Tesla stock? Or what's the intrinsic value of this really goes to it? What's the intrinsic value of life insurance or medical insurance? Because on its surface, it's just insurance. And it really comes down to the definition of what intrinsic actually is or intrinsic value actually is. Before I talk about that, I would just say this, I think the new savings account in the world should be gold, silver, Bitcoin. It only makes sense to me because if you're saving money, that's a bad setup because you're losing 2% because of the inflation rate. So you're just losing money as it just sits in there. So why don't you make the money work for you and put into assets such as gold, silver, Bitcoin anyhow, getting into, you know, what actually intrinsic value means. Let's get the definition and finance intrinsic value or fundamental value is the true, inherent and essential value of an asset independent of its market value. So then if you want to get even deeper, intrinsic value is a philosophical concept, whether the worth of an object or endeavor is derived in and of itself or independent of other extraneous factors. A company's stock also is capable of holding intrinsic value outside of what its perceived market price is. And it's often touted as an important aspect to considered by value investors. So if you want to take a look at what the intrinsic value of gold, sure you can do that. Fiat, okay, it's just paper, of value as far as a stock. I mean, we can go over all this, but I'm not going to a super long of boring. But the big thing that I see is what is the intrinsic value of, let's say, insurance, especially medical insurance or life insurance. And this was a question I thought about after I watched an old video from Shamath Pilihapataya. He's in Bitcoin OG and at one point on like a million Bitcoin, him and his partner, I guess. And he just said, look, it's insurance. That's exactly what it is. And when I first saw it, I didn't really get it. But now after I've seen it like three or four times in different little aspects, I get now what the value of Bitcoin is and can potentially be. So let's just take a listen real quick. I was actually down at about 9,000 when I realized the distributed ledgers probably imbue more inherent value on something than a government. We've had this conversation for five or six years. I didn't listen to you back then. I'll say the same thing. I think I said six years ago when it was at 80 bucks a coin, which is it is the single best hedge against the traditional financial infrastructure. Whether you support fiscal and monetary policy or not, it doesn't matter if this is the schmuck insurance you have under your mattress. And I've had it for a long time. I'm looking at it now at a point where if anything actually has inherent value that distributed ledgers and decentralization and peer to peer and no double payment, that's worth more than the current things that we use right now. You're just using it as the fault. Do you see what I'm saying? You may end up being a spokesman for like some IBM commercial with that. So maybe true. Just buy the coins. I mean, it's a fantastic instrument just in case. So yeah, I get it.  I mean, if you want to take a look at and depending on what you see it as, everybody can see it as a different thing, but I can see it now is definitely insurance or a hedge against the traditional market, especially with all the quantitative easing that's going on and all the craziness that is happening in the traditional space. So if you're talking to somebody about it and you're talking about the intrinsic value, like, well, it's insurance, just like you have medical insurance or life insurance, it protects you against all the different craziness that is going on out there. And I think in today's age, you're going to need it. And then that's that's Shamath. And then also there was a great interview on the Unchained podcast. And we had covered this before, but I want to go over it one more time. And this is why, again, these are two heavy weights. This is Mike Novogratz from Galaxies Digital. And that's Raoul Powell looking a little like frozen. He looks a little goofy there. But he's a macro economist. And they're going to talk about what's going to drive adoption and people getting into Bitcoin. And it's totally true. But I'm wondering, like, so what is it that's driving those decision makers? Like, what is it about Bitcoin that makes them think that this is the investment to make now during the time of the coronavirus? Is it just as simple as like Bitcoin is scarce and we're about to see unlimited quantitative easing? Or is there anything kind of more? It's just that simple. So people ask me all the time, I bought more gold yesterday even. And so I own gold and silver as well. But why Bitcoin versus gold? If you want to buy gold, there's 16 different ways to do it. It's very easy. You need to pick up and do buy an ETF. And so there's no adoption curve in gold, where Bitcoin, there's still an adoption curve. A small portion of the institutional world has participated yet. And so as that adoption grows, you've just got to jacked up upside versus gold. Bitcoin really is going to disrupt one thing. The crypto universe was going to disrupt everything. Bitcoin really right now is being bet on to disrupt central banks. And so the fact that backed or fidelity or real institutions are going to hold it for you and custody it, some of the crypto junkies would be like, dude, that's not even the whole spirit of crypto, right? The spirit of crypto was to get away from those institutions. Well, in a meta sense, yes. But in a specific sense, the bet on Bitcoin is a hedge versus fiat. So it's disrupting one piece. And so I think having those trusted names in and around keeping someone's Bitcoin safe.  And when you originally started telling the story of this is going to be a disruption for the banking system, but can I keep it a JP working? That's a good point. So I mean, all these different things, I see Bitcoin as the first. I think that it'll be the first one because it's on the, it's on the minds of everybody. It's like, you got to get that Netscape browser out first to have everybody experience the internet before you can get Google Chrome, before you can get the brave browser and really start running. That's my thoughts. Let me know what you think in the comment section. But that's it for today. I know it went a little bit long. I apologize, but I thought it was fascinating the way it was all laid out. And, you know, the points have to be kind of made. So hopefully it helps you out. And that's why I talk about, you know, my Bitcoin elevator pitch. I think when you're talking to your friends and family as time goes on, you have to kind of keep it concise and not go crazy and go over and start talking about decentralizations and fungibility and all that nonsense. I mean, it's great if you got somebody who's like, you know, really advanced, but if you just want to make it simple, just tell them this, Bitcoin's digital gold. I know some will say, well, it's not gold. Just frame a reference. Remember, we're trying to get as many people as we can in here because it's going to help them in the long run. It's scarce. You only get 21 million and it's market insurance like Chamath was talking about. Unlike gold, you can send it to anyone within minutes, right? Six transactions, about 60 minutes, about an hour or so. And you can send it from next to nothing. I might talk about next to nothing. There was a story not too long ago about a year where a Bitcoin whale moved almost half a billion for less than 400 bucks. So try doing that with gold. Good luck. It's the best performing asset class ever. We just talked about that. It's better than gold, oil or any stock ever used to be worth five cents. Now it's worth 10,000 bucks or whatever it is when you're talking about it. And it's why I'm heavily invested. So if you just keep it simple, people like simple and they can actually understand it.

The NNPC has requested the sum of three trillion Naira as fuel subsidy for 2022. Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Mrs. Zainab Ahmed, disclosed these two state House correspondence on Wednesday. This was after the Federal Executive Council meeting, which was chaired by President Mohamed Buhari on Wednesday. According to Mrs. Ahmed, by implication, the federal government will have to make an incremental provision of 2.557 trillion Naira in order to meet subsidy requirements, which currently averages about 272 billion per month. What this means is that we have to make an incremental provision of 2.557 trillion Naira to be able to meet the subsidy requirement, which is averaging about 270 billion Naira per month. In 2021, the actual under recovery that has been charged to the Federation was 1.2 trillion, which means an average of 10, 100 billion per month. But in 2022, because of the increased prices of crude oil price per barrel in the global market now at $80 per barrel, and also because NNPC's assessment is that the country is consuming 65.7 million liters per day, that will end up with incremental cost of 3 trillion in 2022.
