Hi, it's Bridget. Welcome to Sunday Morning Coffee with Bridget. This is a podcast style series of audios to help inspire your spirit and so that we can stay connected during this time. So I was listening to my Sunday Morning Coffee series about noise. Oh yes, might surprise you actually listen back so that I can hear my own wisdom, follow my own advice, right? Do as I say and as I do, right? And as I was doing that, it really stood out to me that near the end of that audio, I was sharing about ways to shift our thinking and to focus our thoughts on the positive and to create noise with our thoughts that is positive for us. And I used examples and the examples that I used were action based. Interesting. Thoughts connected to action. Good thoughts connected to action. So I want to talk about that today. I want to talk about that today. That was a default. That was instantly where I went. And I want to talk about this. The idea that our thoughts create our actions is true, right? I mean, talk to any spiritual teacher or life coach. Your thoughts do create your actions.  But the fact that we are action based is true as a human experience. As a human life experience, we reward action. And that's those are the examples I gave was like the example I gave was, oh, you know, feel good. Have positive thoughts about yourself that help you to feel good about the actions that you've taken. Like your worthiness is because you've made a great awesome world famous smoothie or you vacuumed the floor, for example. And that's not that's old ways of thinking that is not the true reality when you step in to the resources that are available to you in the spirit, energy of things in spirit. When you work with energy and start to understand energy management, energy flow, whether you're working with it in yoga or you're working with it in meditation or you're working with it by learning about chakras, which are, by the way, energy centers within the body. And we realize, we start to realize that there's this connection to some greater well, greater resource, greater, constantly renewable flowing resource of energy. So the fact that my auto responded connection was to reward the action to adjust the thinking. To move into more of a positive space based upon the positive, the result of an action, the positive feeling as a result of the action. Now we're interjecting feeling into it. But this is what's motivating us. This is natural. This is how the mind works, right? The thought that creates a good feeling that results in an action or the thought that creates the action that results in a good feeling. It's all about controlling ourselves. It really is. It's about controlling ourselves and it's natural. It's a natural human pattern of behaviors. You can study that. That's what psychology is about. The mind over matter. There's so much science and information about all of these things. So I'm not going to spend time on this. That's not my jam. Anyway, but it really stood out to me. I thought, no, no, no, no, no. If we are in a time of change, which we are, which, by the way, what did we learn from the other podcast? We always are in a time of change. There's always change. We're always changing. Whether we recognize it or conscious of it or not, we're always changing. We are. You're getting older each day. The seasons are changing gradually, gently, slowly, where you might not notice until one day you wake up and your grandson is 15. Or you have been at your same job for five years and you thought, oh, I'm just going to start a job for me. I'm going to stay here for two years and then I'm just going to take this while I can get myself situated until I get something better right out of college. And it's five years later. The reason I want to come to this place is to share with you that we can change this. We can change this pattern of thoughts and value of our thoughts creating our actions and using feeling to give us this to make it okay. That thoughts control our action. It doesn't have to be that way. What we need to do is interject things like awareness. We need to interject things like giving ourselves the opportunity to choose a different way. And this has to happen before you're taking action. It has to happen before that action step. It doesn't help when it happens after because it's just like, you know, hindsight is 2020. Then you're being the armchair quarterback. So you're probably thinking, well, Bridget, what do I do then? How do I change this? Do I want to change this? This is kind of working for me. It's not really, is it really working for you because you're missing a piece. So we've got thinking. We've got feeling. We've got action. What about intuition? What about your spirit? This incredible wellspring of information, knowledge flow. What about this energy part of you? I'm not talking about energy like I just had coffee and now I have energy. I'm talking about energy, a natural state of flow, the energy that you get from the feelings that you're feeling, from the thoughts that you think, from the actions that you take or that you're considering taking. Because you know you think through all the scenarios, all the possible outcomes of whatever action you're going to take. You overthinker you. I know you. I see you over there. I miss overthinker over there. Mr. Analytical, I see you. I see you devil's advocate. I'm just looking at all the possibilities here. I know I live with one of those. I know all about that. What about all of the information you're missing? All the intangibles. All the energy that is here and flowing whether you pay attention to it or not. You can be proactive in connecting with this energy flow, this incredible wealth of knowledge. Yes, I said wealth of knowledge. This is what abundance is, people.  The rest is going to be 75%. Are you okay with that? That's like a C average for those of you overachievers who think about grades. That's 75%.  Yeah. You guys are the ones that understand about energy, don't you? You really do. Even if you're not consciously aware of it, you're totally in the flow. You're like, hey, yeah. You're appreciating everything. You're flowing with the natural rhythm of things. Yes. You're not. And how you can do this and how you can create this sort of a change or allow the interjection of energy into your thoughts, into your feelings, into to be part of the actions that you take is to let yourself open up to having some experiences energetically, whether that's through a visualization, whether it's through great music, whether it's through exercise like yoga. Or maybe it's through a form of meditation like transcendental meditation, which is challenging at first. Let me just say, especially for the thinkers, but oh my goodness, if you are committed to taking the action of actually doing it every day, twice a day for 20 minutes, I know it sounds like a lot. Transcendental meditation, look it up. TM meditation, look it up. That's the first form of meditation I ever learned as soon as I air quotes, got psychic and it was amazing. After about two to three weeks, I felt unbelievably peaceful. No matter what I encountered, no matter what stress I was dealing with at work, no matter what I was worrying about with my little kids at the time, I felt at peace with all of it. I was able to make decisions and my mind was clear. I was sharp and I felt connected within. Very valuable tool. Now some of you are probably saying, I don't have time for that. I have little kids. I'm on a different schedule. I don't have time for that. That's fine. That's fine. There are lots of different ways that you can start to engage with energy and introduce it into your normal pattern of living, your normal processes. So this is intuition, by the way. Energy, your soul speaks the language of energy. Your spirit communicates through the energy. And you know this is true because when you have a gut feeling or a strong sense of something, whether it's good or repelling or bad, that's energy. That's not a feeling or an emotion. Even though it comes across that way, sometimes it comes up from deep within you from your low belly and that's the chakra. That's called solar plexus. That's the spirit within you. It's right there right in the core of your being. Right in the core center of you. There's a reason for that. Good geographic location, huh? In the center of everything. Your spirit. That information comes up from within you. And you might say it's a gut feeling because you're feeling it. It's the sensation is starting in the gut in the belly and then it comes into the chest so that it's so powerful. It picks up momentum so that you take an action or that you get the message. This is energy. This is how energy works. So I really wanted to connect with this so that you could understand that there are other ways, not just our default modes of action, reward, thinking, feeling, doing. There is another part here. There is your soul. There is energy. There is a knowing part of this.  If you consider the mind, the heart, and the body, thinking, feeling, doing, you are missing 25%. You will never be at full capacity unless you can allow yourself to begin to experience the energy of things and to utilize it for your greatest good. Bring it into your life for your greatest good. So this is Bridget. I wanted to make sure that I had this conversation with you. I think it's really important to do that, to understand. And by the way, the way that you're motivated to take action throughout your life or to make decisions in your life, whether it's primarily from your mind, that's where we all start, by the way. Most of my clients are very mind strong. Strong willed would not be the right way to say it. Strong mind or maybe, maybe even stubborn. And it's okay. It's totally okay. It's completely acceptable. That's me. I get it. We're being human right now. We just so happens we have other resources that we're not tapping into and I can help you with that. And that's part of the purpose of our Sunday morning coffee sessions to open you up to other possibilities for you to help enhance the quality of your life, to help you feel more fulfilled and help you be more connected within yourself. It doesn't cost you anything. You don't have to pay to be intuitive. You don't have to pay to utilize the energy flow of things because you naturally have it. It's free. It's abundant. That's what abundance is about. Accessing what you already have available to you. Maximizing the capacity that you have been gifted right here and right now. All right, my friends. This is Bridget. Thank you so much for listening to the Sunday morning coffee podcast. Enjoy it very much. You can find me on social media. I'm on Bridget inspired. Don't forget to spell Bridget the longest way possible bridge and then ETTE inspired. I'm on Instagram, Facebook there. You can also find me on fairy grasshopper, my YouTube channel where I share vlogging, my psychic life experiences. I also do some channeling there for fun, you know, because I like the psychic medium stuff because that's part of who I am. And also some pep talks. You'll find some pep talks, some interesting intuitive topics and tips there, as well as card readings. For those of you who think that's kind of a fun thing and maybe you're just exploring that whole psychic intuition thing. Maybe the energy stuff is new to you. Go check out fairy grasshopper on YouTube. That's me and I'll see you over there. Thanks so much for listening. Have a great day.


Live from Miami Beach, Florida, it's theCUBE. Covering Veeamon 2019, brought to you by Veeam. Hello everyone, welcome back to Miami. This is theCUBE, the leader in live tech coverages, day two of our coverage of Veeamon 2019 at the Fontainebleau Hotel in sunny Miami, Dave Vellante with Peter Burst. Trevor Starnes is here, he's the director of systems engineering for Pure Storage. Trevor, great to see you again. Hey, thanks for having me. You're welcome, we've been following Pure since the early days. I remember interviewing Scott Deetson at some SNW way back when, and seeing the ascendancy and the rise. Pure hits escape velocity, goes public. Just been an awesome ride. You guys have really kind of transformed the industry. Started out as the flash play, but now really getting much deeper into sort of data and data strategies and data protection is one of those. So we're here at Veeamon. What are your impressions so far this week? Oh, the conference has been great. A lot of great interactions. Veeam has been an incredibly strong alliance partner for us. The synergies are just incredible because, as we've evolved, as you mentioned, from a singular product in all flash array and disrupting the market there back in the early 2010s, evolving into more of a data platform company and data protections actually turned out to be a great business for us. It's growing incredibly fast and like I said, a lot of great synergies with Veeam. So the systems engineering role has always been a critical part of the sales process. The SES is like, I need an SE. And then you guys will go in, help the sales team really understand what the customer needs. You'll help solve problems. But how was that role to find it pure and how was it evolving in the industry? Yeah, absolutely. And I think similar to our products in the early days, we hired a lot of folks who were storage specialists and we've evolved into having to go far beyond that, right, into the different realms around things like AI, machine learning, data protection, virtualization containers. And so it's definitely evolving. It's challenged us as a company. And we're certainly trying to not maintain a status quo. We want to continue to disrupt and do that in adjacent markets. So how do you work with Veeam just in terms of taking your platform and their software and making a solution that's kind of simple for customers. It's not stove piped, single throat to choke. Describe that whole process. Yeah, yeah. So we recently, earlier this year, maybe it was late last year, we developed some integration with Veeam to where we actually integrate with their universal storage API. So Veeam can control pure storage snapshots which you're probably familiar with, pure snapshots on FlashArray are incredibly powerful. It's a very powerful metadata engine in purity. And which means we can take thousands of snapshots with no performance impact in their near instantaneous. With Veeam, we can instantly integrate that into Veeam backup and data protection workflows. And Veeam can completely control pure storage snapshots both on array and off array, which we'll talk about without having to have a storage administrator log into Pure at all. Okay, and so talk more about how the system plays with your customers. I mean, when you're in with the customer and you're sort of scoping it out, how is that conversation changing is just in terms of, as you say, you went from, okay, here's an array and Flash, now there's all the spectrum of other things that you're doing. What's the data protection conversation like? How does it relate to their digital transformation, their digital business? Where do you guys fit there? Well, operationally, we've seen a huge trend from customers that a decade or so ago, you saw the trend of going from disk to disk to tape. Tape for long-term archive. What we're actually here at the conference really promoting is this idea of the next big wave of evolution there, which is we see customers going from Flash to Flash for the first step in backup and then instead of off-site tape going to the cloud. So that's been an incredibly successful message for us early on. And so that actually started with, I mentioned the pure Flash array snapshot integration, but actually moving those snapshots off of Flash array to our second product, which is FlashBlade. FlashBlade's a really unique product. It was originally designed with the next big wave of innovation in mind around things like containers and deep learning where high amounts of bandwidth and parallelism are just absolutely critical. Billions of small files, it just so happens that actually caters really well to backup performance and restore performance. Backing up to disk was a big success for a lot of customers, but what they're seeing now and what we're seeing as workloads continue to get more diverse is that there's a restore challenge. So we have customers that are backing up to disk, but they're seeing massive challenges around getting their data back and getting back online. The recovery time objective pressures from the business are becoming more and more important. This actually started for us in the SaaS industry where one of the world's largest SaaS providers out in Silicon Valley had to do an increasing amount of restores and they actually started using FlashBlade as what we call a rapid restore platform. So they're able to near instantaneously restore these databases and what we've found is nearly across the board and all other industries that there's a large number of customers that have that challenge. More so than we find going to market with FlashBlade for like AI, for example. There's not as many people doing that yet. We've been successful in the ones that are, but across the board, healthcare, legal, high tech, you name it, there's a restore problem. And with FlashBlade, we've seen people go, for example, one of our really other customers outside of the SaaS world is in healthcare space. The industry's number one cancer center in the world is actually leveraging it for rapid restore for databases, but they're also doing some other neat things because FlashBlade's not a purpose-filled backup appliance, it can be used for other things. Anything file and object works great, so what you can do is you can combine the use cases and that's been really powerful from a TCO perspective. You might say, customers might say, well, Flash is too expensive, but if there's a restore problem, that may not matter. And then if you combine it with other use cases, we call that our data hub story. It's even more powerful and the TCO becomes really attractive, so that healthcare using it for packs and rapid restore, there's other industries like the online gaming industry, like I mentioned high tech, so that data hub message has been really powerful. That's returning an asset and asset leverage. Oh, absolutely, and one of the things I'd like to talk about, Trevor, is relating to that, is there are a lot of ways of describing some of those fundamentals, some of those really contingent and essential changes that are taking place in the industry today, but one of them clearly is FlashLaws is to move from a data storage orientation of record and save the data to one of deliver the data to new applications. Pure has been at the vanguard of that and has seen a lot of these new use cases. As we think about return on data assets and whatnot, how is your visibility into those new use cases changing Pure's perspective and Pure customer's perspective on data protection? Because it seems like the notion of data protection, which has been around for a long time, is starting to fray, as these new use cases say, it's not just protecting about what's happened, it's setting me up for doing new types of work in the future. So how is Pure seeing that, how is that conversation about data protection changing because of some of the drive that Pure's got in the marketplace? Yeah, and I think the first step is, hey, I can back up my data, but if I can't use it, it's kind of worthless, right? So being able to use that data much, much more rapidly, but also repurposing that. This idea of data silos has been around IT for years, and with FlashBlade and that data hub story, we're really breaking down those silos to be able to say, hey, the same platform that you're storing your data protection data, as well as other data, it's the same platform that I might be able to spin that data up. So Veeam's got a great story with data labs where you can actually spin up these virtual environments and run, and on a purposeful back of device, it's questionable if that actually works, right? And having to pull that back over the network to another silo with FlashBlade and the data hub, it makes that realistic, and getting so much more out of the data, delivering that back to the business, and actually being able to deliver these key insights into what my data is actually doing and be able to make better business decisions is what the output would be. Do you see kind of an analogy of a relationship between previous to now where storage was about persisting data, and therefore it was about protecting what has happened to Flash being about delivering data to new applications, and therefore there's some new concept. Our customer is pushing you guys towards something that goes, that's bigger than data protection. I mean, it's something that we're struggling with, and a lot of the customers that we have are struggling with. How do I talk about what these services are when I'm spinning up Kubernetes clusters like that? That's right. So is there some new conversation that you're starting to see? You guys were one of the first to have a conversation about data, you know, Flash data for AI. Are you starting to have conversations about, you know, deliver data something more than protection?  We actually have a product that, as a peer customer, you get as inclusive of a maintenance contract called Peer Service Orchestrator, which can actually help provision end-to-end container environments, and being able to repurpose that data for, like I said, test dev, development pipelines, and those kind of things. And we're also, as you've probably heard, we're tying that into a cloud strategy as well. So there's products we've announced, Cloud Block Store on the Block Storage side, as well as Object Engine, which is a product we haven't talked about yet, which enables customers to truly see the benefit of a hybrid cloud scenario. So they may be developing an application on-prem and pushing it to the cloud or vice versa, and we're actually going to give them that capability to do that. Talk more about Object Engine, specifically what it is. I mean, I'm inferring Object Store and, you know. Object Engine, you know, you hear the name, it could mean a number of things, but clearly it has to do with Object Storage. So, Object Engine was actually a technology that was born in the cloud. So it was a cloud-native application that was really designed around data reduction for cloud workloads. What we've done, as part of that product, it folded into purers. We've actually, ironically, that's not what we used it for first. We developed an appliance, and we call that our Object Engine appliance. That's just phase one. So what Object Engine delivers is a highly scalable, highly performant data reduction platform. We're starting with backup and data protection workloads. So Veeam obviously does their inline data reduction technology. If the customer finds that they need something more scalable, they can actually leverage Object Engine to do that, and then FlashBlade on the back end as the initial tier. And then the future vision for Object Engine is that it's going to give you the cloud connectivity to be able to say, okay, I want to automatically push my backup workloads from an archive perspective out to the cloud. We're starting in AWS. We're going to do Azure and others as well. So the next big wave of that that you'll see is actually running Object Engine in the cloud in a hybrid scenario and be able to move those workloads back and forth. So kind of envision the near-term backup and restores. Most of the restores happen within a week or two on-prem, and then 100% also stored in the cloud for more long-term archive. So that really completes the flash-to-flash-the-cloud story, but we're not going to stop with backup workloads either. And where's your sort of value add in that equation, and where's Veeam, and where's the connection points there? Good question, good question. So I think, again, I mentioned Veeam obviously has their in-line data reduction technology. Where we insert Object Engine is really one of two reasons. One, if our data reduction offsets the cost of the whole solution without using it, with just using Veeam's data reduction, because it's a hardware offload essentially. And then the second one is, if you need a large amount of data that you want to push out to the cloud as our kind of phase two of that product. Right. Okay, I want to ask you about the partnership from the standpoint of values. Sure.  So you seem to be kind of birds of a feather, but we just talked about value add. What about the values of your company and sort of how are you guys getting along? Yeah, we're getting along great. I like I said, there's a lot of synergies from a solution standpoint, but just from a go-to-market standpoint, trying to be a disruptive company, a disruptive technology, disruptive solutions, what is that next thing, right? Not being a me too player in the market. And so I think we share a lot of those same values, but also customer success. We really focus on the outcomes and the happiness of the customer. And that's down in the core of our engineering. Same thing with Veeam. Where I think we can really help each other is, Veeam has a big push right now to move up market into the enterprise. And we feel like we can help Veeam in that respect. We've been very successful in enterprise. And likewise, Veeam obviously has a major presence in Amia and that's a market that is growing for us substantially, but we've got a lot of upside. So we really think we can help each other there. And I actually failed to mention the very first object engine flash blade sale we did was with Veeam. So, it was just natural from that perspective. And I think pre-object engine and before this whole idea of rapid restore really took off with flash blade. It was just the flash array protection and even that's still pretty new, but now it's much more comprehensive. So we've got common competitors as well. And pure accelerates coming up in September. It's in Austin, your hometown, right? It's my hometown of Austin, Texas. So yeah, we'll be there September 15th to 18th and we're going to be talking about a ton of stuff. Obviously flash to flash to cloud, but well beyond storage as well. So even if, you know, don't think of it as just a storage conference. It's always fun event. We've covered now, I think twice. This will be our third year. So in Austin, it's a great, great town. And looking forward to that. Trevor, thanks so much for coming on theCUBE. Loved it, loved it. Thanks for having me. You're very welcome. All right, keep it right there, everybody. We'll be back with our next guest. Right after this short break, I'm Dave Vellante with Peter Burr's VeeamON 2018 from Miami. Right back.


So dollar cost averaging is something that we talk about on this channel on this show quite a bit And I've been showing you some pretty good sides of dollar cost averaging and just how fantastic it is But I did a pretty poor job of showing you the downside So today we're gonna take a look at that and what we're gonna do is we're going to take an amount of funds and What we're going to do is we're going to put this on a Google spreadsheet So everybody can see it and as time goes on we're gonna see how this actually grows in this disgusting bear market And before we get into all that fun stuff. I just have to make two announcements first of all I know that some of you not in the live stream But it's some of you that are watching this video on the replay will say you Always come on dollar cost averaging and I say the dark side and what's going on and unsubscribe you can do that But just know that you have to watch the video first you really have to get into it to understand You could be a thumbnail warrior, but it's not gonna do too well And then secondly, I am feeling a little bit under the weather just got back from Korean blockchain week and The stories I could tell you guys about market makers and venture capitalists and what's going on behind the scenes Disgusting, but I won't because I don't want to get sued. I don't want to have any problems Just move forward from that. So today I'm feeling a little bit under the weather. So forgive me if I have a little bits of Low energy, but so we'll see how it goes So first of all when we were talking about dollar cost averaging there was this video a couple days ago I don't actually know I'm sorry four or five days ago And I talked about what I would do if I could invest a thousand ten thousand dollars and for the average person This is a really junk type of things. A lot of people don't have that They don't have a thousand ten dollars just sitting around. So in that video what I did was I took a look at what would it be if I Invested five dollars a week or ten dollars a week. There's a link in the description You can see how well it goes. The thing was is I took a look moving forward from 2019 September 1st which would correspond to our four-year cycles. So of course it was glamorous and everybody was happy and it was awesome and There's some downside to it, but I before we get into it I just want to let you know that remember this when you dollar cost average, you are dropping your cost basis Below the average price at least that's what you're trying to do now. There's some cryptos that will not come back a dash of salt Like I would like to say dash.  You have to understand somebody's gonna be losers because this is the market that we are in so with this one what I wanted to do is Before I get into this part here, let's just let's just go back. Let's just do a quick recap. Shall we and just go back to The nice days if I went to 2019 January 1st and I invested ten bucks a week That's it ten bucks a week. I have some people have it some people don't that's just the truth and I think most you do if you take a look at Bitcoin a theorem cardano dogecoin so why not dotmatic We're gonna talk about that later Chainlink cosmos near and I'll go and this was the video last time you can see that as we do it I mean if you went all the way back then and We're dollar-cost averaging for two-plus years You Would have had 238 thousand dollars three hundred four in doge doge. That's right Matic fifty eight thousand and you might ask yourself. Well, how much is ten dollars a week Rob? Well, that is two thousand four hundred forty dollars and Thankfully Ben has it right there for me On his website so it makes things easy, but just just so you know that that's ten bucks a week not split between everything That's ten bucks a week in doge ten bucks a week in Matic ten bucks We can link Ada there in Solana and the next question is probably like well I don't have twelve hundred bucks to put into twelve different investments per week. I got you Maybe you put it into two or maybe three. It's up to you I'm not a financial advisor. I'm not your dad.  You would have fifteen thousand in Bitcoin aetherium so on and so forth and interesting enough You have an underwater with avalanche. I'll go near and dot keep that in mind So let's move forward because this is what we're gonna try to do. I Am going to go to this part here Because 2021 was great. Remember 2021. Ah, man. It was sweet Everybody was a genius you could do no wrong Nobody was gonna collapse that wouldn't happen and 2021 everything was good and then we move forward and then everything just collapsed and You can just see here that if we would have picked at the wrong time. It doesn't matter if you lump sum If you lump sum, let's say ten bucks a week. That's eight hundred eighty dollars from 2022 today, that's eight or any bucks lump summed you would have been up pretty well until about September Hopefully right now and you'd be underwater and then back and forth and back and forth as a matter of fact if you'd invested in This junk bear market, which I have personally been doing You would actually be underwater for most as a matter of fact The only thing that you'd be up right now The only thing is Bitcoin and dollar-cost everything not even a lump sum lump sum you're halfway down. You're at forty nine dollars Adam dot a dramatic sold doge link if they're you're all down Well, that's pretty awful Rob. It is pretty awful, but that's just it And that's why I named this video a specific title Which is this is the dark side of dollar-cost everything see a lot of people will just show you the other put the other piece And I did a poor job of not putting this in and I have to rectify that quickly So you understand that of course I think most of us if you're here, it's okay But just so you know, we're gonna it's going to be pretty junk for a while And you have to understand if you're looking at the macro environments and what potentially is happening with FTX and This potential dump of Solana don't start shouting off in the comments. I'll get to it in a second But what I want to show everybody is this because I showed you the good part We're gonna do this every week So every week I'm gonna put a separate fund aside and we're gonna put 10 bucks into Bitcoin per week Ethereum Solana Cosmos Arbitra I'm gonna it's 1200 bucks a week My math is right Something like that one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve excuse me not twelve hundred hundred twenty 120 bucks a week That's not bad 120 bucks a week I can I can do that on a separate account and what we're gonna do is we're gonna we're gonna track this and every Sunday We're just gonna take a peek at this real quick and we're gonna do two things how much it's down we're gonna use Ben's DCA tool and also we're gonna take it off the exchanges because if you notice underneath my gigantic head There's some rules. It's all gone. Don't invest more. You can afford to lose hundred percent of scams Everything's a scam even Vitalik buterans Twitter account now is a scam. We'll talk about that in a second Don't leave any on exchanges I think we learned our lesson with Voyager and Celsius and BlockFi and FTX and so on and so forth Don't use leverage if you want to use 2x, I mean have fun You got to live right and then take profits along the way. I think that's the big important thing So we'll do this every week and I'll show how things were going if everything repeats itself Like we did back in 2000 let's just pick 2020 when we hit the bull market whenever that is and we look at some indicators Again, there's a link in the description of the indicators I'm using to sell 80% of my crypto will still do pretty good and we'll see how it works again This is $10 per week and all these different ones. We'll see so now what you think about that in the comment section And then also I'd like to request something from everybody if you would be so kind This tool that I'm using is free It's on Ben's site. There's a link in the description like everything else The light plan is free. You get a longer than regression weekly newsletter from Ben nice dollar-cost averaging Now if you want to go if you want to roll up There's a sale going on right now, but you may not need that I just want you to use the DCA tool and put in your specific crypto because you can there's a ton of men here and You can just see how things are gone historically That's the big thing and then also if you want to upgrade to get stuff like exit strategies and time of wristband All that good stuff. So let me think about that in the comment section and then talking about Solana So this one's a good one and it's false so This is from crypto rover And I get it like when I saw this I just asked the questions and in Twitter. I'm like, is this true? Is this what's going on? So apparently FTX is expected to receive approval to liquidate the following assets on September 13th today It is the 10th. So you're looking at by Wednesday. They could liquidate. However, there's two things to note here They had 3.5 billion worth of crypto in April and The plan is to sell up to 200 million worth of crypto every week and there's a lot. There's a lot of mixed crypto They're looking at 1.2 billion over here 245 million XRP ton coin. All right Matic doge aptos. Sure. Ethereum Bitcoin FTT and Solana is the biggest bag So when I just have been perusing through Twitter, I'm like, what is this going to happen? Apparently not but it doesn't stop everybody from dumping. So The one that took the biggest hit today Is Solana. It's almost down 7% in 24 hours 6.8 for the week And that is because of what is happening here. However There's a pretty smart person in the comments Marty party and you can find him I put a link in the description as well That's a bummer I think you deleted it anyhow pretty much what he said was already party was like was saying no as a matter of fact As things go forward. This is not the total amount that's actually going to be Dipped into there are many different factors, but it's not going to be that much and even though and if we take a look at it Let's say 200 million so The market 24 hour volume of just bitcoin alone is 5 billion Ethereum is 5.2 11 billion 11 billion 311 million so on and so forth So yeah, we did have something but apparently that is not what it is looks like it was deleted But that's what we have so nobody fret. However Even though that's not going to happen just be aware that the foot is out there and uh, the narrative sometimes plays out And you're going to see Solana probably drop some more, but I could be wrong. It's already down 0.1 So that's it for that and then lastly Before we get into a little q&a Uh, I don't know how the heck this happened, but Vitalik's Twitter account was hacked And I doesn't I gotta tell you it doesn't say too much positivity for Vitalik and uh, you know Trying to secure his account with two factor authentication. There's two times a two factor indication There's one with a text message which of course it goes through your it's The service this one be an x will send you a code Oh on your messages and you put that code in well somebody does a sim swap. It's very easy for them to just go Yeah, I lost access to this. Can you? Give me back access sent into my cell phone sure and then off it goes That's all swim swaps and apparently that's what happened to Vitalik me personally You've probably viewed do better with a google authenticator. That's what I have on mine and uh Just take a search for a google authenticator. I'm sure I did a video on it somewhere anyhow, so This is what happened looks like there's 700,000 that was drained. This was 19 hours ago I don't know how much it is now probably over a million And that is a big problem. So if you're on twitter if you're on well, of course youtube is One of the bigger scammers out there. Just know that Vitalik's uh account has been Forted and don't creep any don't don't creep anything don't click anything and then lastly there was a comment here from rob vgx rob And uh, he took a big hit with voyager as we all have i'm still waiting for Or five to six figures, but uh, let's see how that works out. We got 35 percent better than celsius. That's for sure And I said, uh, he says being a scam on a crypto seems to be the only way to come out ahead I said george foreman grill guy.  I've lost. I've lost in celsius. I've lost in voyager boo who Sucks, but you get two options. You can't change the event. The only thing you can change is your reaction to the event And that's it for today. So let me know if you think about that the comments, but that concludes for the news
