Hello people of the internet, my name is Johnny, welcome back to yet another FNAF News video. And this is going to be a big one, we got a whole bunch of topics to talk about in today's episode. Ranging from some admittedly pretty old stuff we still need to do some catching up on involving Hex and some book news. However, don't worry we still have a whole bunch of new FNAF news to talk about involving the movie, the ruin DLC, and a whole bunch of upcoming merchandise and books, so without further ado, since we have so much to talk about, let's not waste any more time at the start of this video, scroll down, give that sub button a little tickle, and let's kick it off by talking about some brand new tales from the Pizza Plex books. First up we have the Bobby Dot's conclusion in the news, which is the fifth entry in the tale series, because not too long ago we got the official story chapters involved in the book revealed to us, and those include GGY, the storyteller, and the sequel to the Bobby Dot story. And as a matter of fact, if you're heavily involved in the book scene, I'm sure you've heard that someone was able to get their hands on the book early, and they've been doing some live readings of the stories. And quite frankly, I may have to make a whole separate video talking about those stories because they are insane with their lore. Next up we have the eighth entry in the tale series now officially titled B7-2. You may recognize this cover, we talked about it in a previous FNAF news video, but we weren't exactly sure if it was the official eighth book. Since back then it was only titled B7, but as it turns out, it looks like this is officially the eighth entry in the book series, and it's going to be a sequel to B7. So that's going to be very interesting to see how they continue that story. And speaking of some book news, we got an announcement that was pretty weird the other day. The Five Nights at Freddy's Ticket to Fun Apharia Kit. I had to look up that word, I don't know how to pronounce that. It appears to be an activity kit that includes a short book, some puzzles, and even some in-universe merchandise that has a release date right now of October the 17th of this year. I'll have its description up on screen so if you want to pause the video, take a deeper look at what this kit is going to include. If you remember the survival logbook, I guess this is like the new modern updated version of the survival logbook. So it's going to be very interesting to see what the puzzles are going to be like, if there's going to be any massive lore drops in this activity kit. Moving on now to some quick-fire merchandise. We got some brand new FNAF hangers from Just Toys. This is Season 2 of their hangers for security breach. Looks like this line has the characters holding phaser blast guns, which looks pretty interesting. And it also has the 1 in 32 rare versions of the Sun and Moon daycare attendant. If you remember quite a while back when talking about some upcoming Funko merchandise, we talked about a retail exclusive Blackheart Bonnie Plushie and Figure. Well the other day, actually someone was able to find the retail exclusive Blackheart Bonnie Plushie and this is what he looks like. He's a cute little fellow, we don't know what store he's going to be exclusive to just yet. And we're also still waiting on the reveal of the action figure, but you can see the tag is specialized on him. It's all Valentine's themed with some hearts going around it, looks pretty awesome. So tell me what are your thoughts on this brand new plushie from Funko? Are you looking forward to possibly more FNAF AR skins getting some merchandise? And speaking of Funko merchandise, looks like we may be getting some security breach pops, at least ones of the Sun and Moon daycare attendant. Cause some listings appeared online on Showcase's website listing pre-orders for Sun and Moon Funko pot figures. Now supposedly take this with a grain of salt because it hasn't been confirmed whether or not we're going to be getting pot figures based on security breach characters. Personally, I'd love to see these actually be legit and release sometime in the near future, but I guess we're just going to have to wait and see. And next up for Funko, we got Tony Mario Bros back at it again, leaking some upcoming products this time. Some eight inch hand puppets of Freddy and Bonnie. Once again, some of the weirdest merchandise announcements we've had in a very, very long time. I'd love to see what their design is going to look like, but I don't... I don't know how well they're going to sell. And who knows, maybe if they do sell well, we can get more like Chica Foxy, Springtrap. The other day an eBay listing went up featuring a Walmart exclusive popsy of chocolate Bonnie. The listing did say it was unreleased. However, it is likely this just hasn't officially been released to stores just yet. But as you can see, he looks adorable.  Happy Easter. I'm kind of neutral on the Popsies. I think they look pretty cute. But also, I mean, this is only going to be our fourth one if it does officially release. So I'm not sure how lucrative they're going to be in the future, but I'd like to see them officially release. He looks cute. And speaking of things that look cute, if you missed my video recently, we unboxed a few of the Balloon Circus mystery minifigures. And in that video, I commented, oh, they got rid of the red balloon Foxy figure. How strange. Well, as it turns out, some boxes overseas on the back actually feature exclusive variants of some of the characters. So it seems that some point in the near future, these guys going to be exclusive to some retail stores. You've got a glow in the dark, goth version of Circus Chica, who looks absolutely adorable. You've got my homeboy Red Foxy making it an appearance again. Super glad he's not scrapped. And then you also have an insanely rare one in 72 exclusive bright blue Circus Bonnie. Once again, it's unclear what stores these three figures are going to be exclusive to, but hopefully pretty soon, they make their way over here and we can find out. And lastly for Funko, we got some brand new metallic versions of the Balloon Freddy and Balloon Bonnie Funko Pops. These guys are going to be exclusive to Target, part of Funko's Target Con event. And it's set to release around February 19th, if you're on the lookout for these guys. Taking a quick pit stop at some hex news because we haven't covered this on a FNAF news video just yet. Back in December on Darko's charity stream, they officially revealed their next wave, which is wave 4. And as you can see, it is going to feature the Withered animatronics from FNAF 2. Withered Freddy, Withered Foxy, Withered Bonnie and Withered Chica, unfortunately. No Withered Golden Freddy, F's in the chat. This is only their concept art right now, we don't have any reveals of what the plushies themselves actually are going to be looking like. But something interesting to note is that Bonnie's head, as you can see, may be confused like why does Bonnie have a head? Well actually, it is removable. Much like Toy Chica's beak, it's got a magnet on the inside of it and you can take it on and off. That is a very, very smart idea. Also for hex news on that charity stream, we got an exclusive first look at the candy the cat and pup goes the weasel plushies. It's worth noting these guys are still prototypes, even the photos I'm showing you right now. But this is a close look at Candy, as you can see he's got everything you would love in a candy plushie. Bright red bow tie, adorable tail behind him, he even has the burger in his hand. From Candy's burgers and fries, he looks absolutely amazing. And then we have Pop Goes the Weasel, who as you can see is pretty different. The reason for that is because this plushie uses a different material. To give the effect of the scan lines that the Pop Goes animatronics have in universe, they're using a different material called corduroy. Once again, these are only prototypes, so I'm sure a whole bunch of changes are going to be made before they release. Moving on now to U2's news, we got a whole bunch of brand new reveals for U2's as always. First up, not too long ago, we got an exclusive look at the 3D model for their upcoming burn trap figure. His silhouette has been on the site for a little while now, and just in case you missed it, this is what his concept art looks like. Hopefully pretty soon, when the next wave drops, I believe it's in March, though I think I've said February in the past, which now that I think about it, I think they said March. But I'd assume he'd be a part of that next upcoming wave. Then we also got an exclusive look at version 2 of Vanny. The second figure for Vanny, I'd assume is going to be a more traditional launch for figures actually appearing on the website. Because if you don't know, the first Vanny figure was exclusive to that giant collector's edition box for security breach. Quite frankly, I'm a little disappointed by the second figure. I was kind of hoping they were going to be a bit more creative with it, but I'd assume they probably did it this way so people who couldn't afford the collector's edition. And for U2's plushies revealed on their TikTok, U2 showed off their upcoming sitting Glamrock Freddy plushie. So it seems that alongside FNAF 1 sitting plushies, with Freddy and I'd assume the other cast were also going to be getting sitting versions of the security breach plushies. Which is a little disappointing once again for people who already bought their FNAF plushies. I would have preferred if these guys released before the standing plushies, just because I think they have a better design, they look cuter. And speaking of cute sitting plushies, because we're not done just yet. You thought it was only going to be FNAF 1 and security breach? You're insane. Because on their TikTok, they also showed off not one, but two sitting plushies of Toy Freddy. One of them is the stereotypical happy version, and the other one is him holding up what appears to be an iPad that says Mr. Hugs on the side. And he's angry, probably because he lost at his game at five nights with Mr. Hugs. So yeah, just a whole bunch of new U2's products coming out soon. If you own some of their previous products, I don't see the incentive to get some of the newer plushies. And also, I guess Vanny version 2, I don't know, U2's is being a bit weird right now, they're getting a bit quirky at night. And now moving on to some Steawool and security breach news. I don't want to gloss over this, they did release a Happy Holidays tweet, which was very adorable. They got some brand new artwork of the characters, and they're all turning Freddy into a snowman. Gregory looks maybe a bit too happy, Freddy looks pretty chilly. And also last month in January, they released a brand new patch for the Xbox version of security breach. They didn't release any patch notes. I haven't heard anything new with the update, so I'd assume nothing major was changed. Most likely just a few bug fixes and optimization stuff like that. But now we come to the big news of today. Development update for Ruin. It's not much, it's very vague, so this can be interpreted in pretty different ways, but we're going to go through it pretty slow. Because today a brand new branch was added to a FNAF security breach of Steam DB, titled FNAF 9, Xbox DLC Shipping and Development. Now the name drop of Xbox is very significant here, because that most likely means they're working on testing a Xbox port or version at least of the Ruin DLC. And a lot of people have been pointing out that'd be a pretty difficult thing to do if the majority of the gameplay or just the DLC itself wasn't at least in a relatively stable, complete state. However, it's definitely worth noting. Because this most likely guarantees an Xbox version of the DLC is going to release hopefully at launch if they're testing it now. That would be phenomenal because I know Xbox fans, you guys had to wait so, so, so long to get the main game. So hopefully this means they're testing out an Xbox version of the game to have it release on launch. I don't know how far in development the DLC is. Once again, it is possible that this means nothing and they just wanted to test something super quick. What it would be like on Xbox, I'm not entirely sure. I don't have all the answers. But I think with all the movie news going on, which is our next topic actually, we do still need to keep an eye on Steel Wall and what they're planning on doing with the Ruin DLC. Because it seems like they're making hella progress. And it has been a very, very long time since we've had any proper updates regarding the Ruin DLC. I mean, the poster we got, we got that in like May of last year, which if I'm counting right is like nine months. So it's been a very, very long time. Hopefully pretty soon we can get at least a teaser. I don't imagine a trailer. I don't think we should go into that mindset just yet until we have an official statement from Steel Wall. But again, hopefully some more news coming pretty soon. But to wrap up this video, we have one more casting for the FNAF movie. And that is Obi-Wan Kenobi star Grant Feely. He posted to his Instagram that he's been cast as a strong supporting role in the feature film. And a bit later on, he made yet another post saying, you might be wondering why I am suddenly blonde. Well, I'm proud to announce I will be in the FNAF movie. And you can see in the picture him and a bad cupcake directing chair. Now it's not stated directly who he's been cast as, but speculation has been going around he's going to be one of the missing kids. And they dyed his hair from what appears to be more of a brunette to a blonde to match more closely with one of the missing kids. However, it is worth noting he set a strong supporting role in a studio feature. So maybe he could be something more. We're just gonna have to wait and see. But that has been a absolutely massive FNAF news video. Thank you so much for watching and catching up with me. I've still got a whole bunch of other news to talk about. Like I said earlier on in the video, we got those brand new tale stories to take a look at and their implications with the lore. More recently, we got the character encyclopedia release that has also a whole bunch of stuff I want to take a look at with you guys. It's also been a very long time since we last talked about the Pop-Go series and all their weekly updates. As a matter of fact, I may need to do a dedicated video to those updates because they're just always packed full with a whole bunch of stuff. So once again, subscribe so you don't miss out on all that more FNAF news and I'll see you all on the flip side. Goodbye.


Hey Psych2Goers, and welcome back to another video. Thank you so much for being here. With your help and support, we're able to succeed in our mission to make mental health and psychology more accessible to everyone. So, thanks again. Now let's get into it. Are you feeling a little lost in life? Are things feeling stagnant and unmoving? Like you're not progressing towards any of your life goals. Do you feel like you're just repeating the same routine day after day with nothing to show for it? Nowadays life is primarily centered around working a good old 9-5 job or if you're still in school, studies, and assignments. And this takes up so much of your time, so it's perfectly normal to feel like you're stuck. And that's okay. The important part is to take action whenever you feel like things aren't going the right way, or when they're not going anywhere at all.  Number one, write down three things that you're grateful for. Has something ever happened that was really important and you wanted to remember it, but then you didn't write it down. Then so you wound up completely forgetting about it. You simply can't rely on your memory to store every important aspect and moment of your life. Time passes and you might forget about some of the important things or the things to be grateful for. Writing down things you're grateful for will help you foster gratitude and allows you to think back on what's happened in your life, helping to shift your perspective. Studies show that fostering gratitude will help you sleep better at night, lower your stress levels, and improve your interpersonal relationships.  Number two, clean for 10 minutes each day. Have you ever felt overwhelmed with the thought of cleaning your apartment because of how much time it's going to take? Well, to avoid feeling overwhelmed, it's best to break down your tasks into smaller portions in order to make it feel more manageable and doable. 10 minutes is a reasonable amount of time to devote to cleaning. It inspires confidence that you can do it, and it's also enough time for you to get something small done. Try folding and hanging your clothes first, and then moving on and coming back to your room to sleep or vacuum for 10 minutes. If your apartment just feels too big to clean all at once, try and start with one room at a time, like in the kitchen doing dishes or in the living room to straighten up the couch. If you can get something small done in 10 minutes, you'll be that much closer to getting everything done in a timely fashion. Number three, take care of your skin. Does your confidence take a hit whenever you're upset about your dry skin in the winter or have a bad breakout? Believe it or not, the way your skin looks can be directly related to how you're feeling and vice versa. According to dermatologist and clinical psychologist Richard G. Freid, inflamed skin, thinning hair, and brittle nails can be physical manifestations of your mental state. These unwanted physical changes can have a negative impact on how you feel. This will further worsen your skin, hair, and nails and create a vicious cycle. This is one of the main reasons why taking care of your skin is so important, since it helps to foster a strong emotional state with high levels of confidence and a strong and positive outlook on life. Number four, implement the 80-20 principle. The 80-20 principle was first observed in the 1800s by an economist named Wilfredo Pareto. He noted that 80% of the land in his home country was owned by 20% of the population. This principle holds true nearly 200 years later and can even be applied to different topics such as business or athletics. Are you wondering if this principle can be applied to your life and how? Well, it's been found that 80% of your success will come from just 20% of your work. This means that 80% of what you do will be unimportant or irrelevant to your success. The main point of applying the 80-20 principle into your life is that you identify that 20% of the things that you do actually result in success. A simple way of identifying the 20% is by making a to-do list of your most important tasks at the top and the least important at the bottom. Finally, cross out 80% of your tasks from the bottom so that you're only left with the top 20%. By doing this, you will improve your productivity and efficiency by focusing all of your efforts on the tasks that will actually yield success. Number five, implement effective daily routines. Do you happen to wake up in the morning feeling tired and unmotivated? This can be a telling sign that your daily routines are not working properly or effectively for you. Daily routines are broken down into your morning routine and your evening routine. An effective morning routine should stimulate your body and mind while giving you a boost of energy and inspiration. Of course, everyone has a daily routine that is unique to them, so you'll need to find what works best for you. For the morning time, you could read the morning news, go out for an early jog, or listen to a podcast while you get ready for the day. Now, let's talk about an effective evening routine. The main purpose of your evening routine is to de-stress your body and mind after a long day of work or school while also gradually preparing you for bed. During this time, you should do things that you enjoy and engage in quiet hobbies, like reading, writing, or watching a relaxing TV show. If you're looking to change your life by implementing these habits, it's important to remember that habits are difficult to build and can take some time to properly put into practice. Focus on implementing them one by one without rushing anything, and you'll surely feel like your daily life is slowly turning in the right direction.

فشرف بالشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا دا دا دا لا وياله من شراف عظيم بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثاناء الجميل واشد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحق وهو يهد السبيل واشد أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بحسان الى يوم الدين أما بعد Today is going to be the first day of explaining the Kitab جلباب المرأة المسلمة في الكتاب والسنع written by محمد الشيخ العلمة محمد ناصر الدين الالباني If you have the book with you and you have the طبع of مكتبة المعارف and initially with توزيع If you go to page 35 Which publication do you have? Same one. What do you have Saad? You have Dar es-Salaam What about yours? Is that? Show me? What is Dar es-Salaam? What about yours? No, no, what is yours? Dar es-Salaam No, it's not the same. It's the same. If you go to page 35 I wasn't meant to get the Kitab for today students but I promise to get it next week Page 35, right? What does it say? Ah, that's what we want. بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم The author starts in the name of Allah the most merciful the most gracious He says مقدمة طبعة الأولى The introduction of the first publication This book got published many times in the life of the author رحمه الله تعالى شغناصر he saw the publication of this book many times It got repeated and it got And every time what he would do is he would add a new طبعة طبعة الثانية And then he would add a new مقدمة الأولى مقدمة الثانية and then مقدمة الجديدة And he would add a new introduction in there And the reason why this book kept getting published again and again and again is that الشيخ رحمه الله was in a consistent refutation with those who were saying that بلنقاب is واجب And the sheikh holds the opinion that it's not wajib And he believes those who are saying that it's wajib are very harsh They are being too tough in a place where they don't need to He is also saying عليه رحمه الله that this is not the correct opinion and that it's not the right opinion So he's pushing that And so they're responding to him but he doesn't author a book for them every time He really did He wrote a book called أرد المفهم But this book he uses the طبعة that comes out The next publication when he works on a book he adds a little مقدمة at the front and then he speaks about the arguments and he responds to it there And that's what شخناسر started to do in the later stages of his life if you look at his works He used to first of all author books in refuting those who speak wrong who speak with no knowledge whose arguments are weak he would author a particular book for them and he would respond to them But The author رحمه الله The author رحمه الله He reached a point where he thought it was unnecessary to start a new book for everybody everybody who speaks So what he would do is he would bring their arguments in a book that he's publishing He would make a مقدمة for it an introduction And in that introduction the شخ would say what he wanted to say and he would go into the كتاب and say what he wanted So we're not going to read those 35 pages because of course the شخ here is we're refuting those who are saying that and we are going to see in the book itself The author starts by saying بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم In the name of Allah the most merciful, the most gracious مقدمة Introduction الطبعة الأولى the first publication So this is the first publication This is actually what the book was when he first wrote it The author says الحمد لله رب العالمين praises to Allah the Lord of the heavens and the earth I mean the Lord of the universe القائل في كتابه the one who said in his book يا بني آدم and the children of Adam قد أنزلنا we have sent on to you we have sent on to you عليكم ليباس and clothing you are so اعتقوا وريشن clothing for you to cover your private part with and also to use it to protect yourselves Then Allah says وليباس تقوى ذلك خير the clothing of piety is the best ذلك من آيات الله that is from the verses of Allah لعلهم يتذكرون so they may come to remember So the sheikh he starts his book with praising him praising Allah سبحانه وتعالى and then what he did was he did what is known in Balaga he did براعة واستهلال براعة واستهلال means when the person is about to talk they use key terms they use words that will indicate what they're going to talk about as long as they do that when they're writing a book if they're talking about نحو غراما for instance they might use terms of غراما at the beginning of their book at the beginning of there at the beginning of their book So then as soon as you read it you know this subject is going to be a grammar like when أمير صلعاني you said حمدا لما يسند كل حمدي إليه مرفوعا بغير عدي متصلا ليس لهم قطاع ما فيه كذاب ولا وضاع This is good براعة واستهلال He says I'm praising Allah a praise that's connected that is not disconnected A praise that is attributed to him or it's brought back to him In that praise There is no liar in the chain of it So what is he doing here He's using حديث terms He's using مرفوع مسند موضوع كذاب This is good براعة واستهلال شيخ ناصر here is doing that What he's doing is that he's mentioning clothing And Allah has made a blessing for us And then the author says وصل الله بي الله سبحانه وتعالى سنساليوتيشن على محمد ونبي الله محمد المبعوثي The one that was sent out as رحمة للناس He was sent out as a what as a rahma as a mercy to people أجمعين أول of them إذا النبي الله محمد is a mercy to mankind بي الله محمد is a what He is a mercy to mankind وعلى آله and on his family وصحبه and his companions وعلى آله means his family وصحبه means his what his companions ومن تبيعهم and those who follow them who follow the companions بيحسانين in good إلى يوم الديني until the day of judgment So here the author رحم الله He does حمدلاء praise in Allah So first he started with the بسم الله he said بسم الله And then the author came with the حمدلاء which is to what sent praise to Allah سبحانه وتعالى and praise him Then the author رحم الله He sent salutation on the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and also on the on the family of the رسول الله عليه وسلم and also on the companions of the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and those who follow them in good صلى the scholars they differed what is meant by it صلى الله عليه وسلم وده صلى الله وده صلى الله عليه وسلم the scholars differed some said صلى الله عليه وسلم الرحمة and others they said No it doesn't mean رحمة it's actually different to رحمة رحمة meaning ماسي some scholars they said that the word صلى الله عليه وسلم does not mean الرحمة it doesn't mean ماسي and the evidence that they used is the statement of Allah أولائك عليهم صلاوات من ربهم ورحمة they said in this verse الله سبحانه وتعالى he distinguished between the two of them look what he said أولائك عليهم on them is أولائك عليهم صلاوات is on them ورحمة and رحمة is on them so if صلى and رحمة were the same then why is Allah distinguished between the two of them أولائك upon those people is صلاوات من ربهم صلا from Allah is on them ورحمة and mercy of Allah is on them so the scholars they said that صلا and رحمة are different what is the difference they said that صلا means Allah is praising the prophet in the gathering of his angels صلاو الله the praising of Allah سبحانه وتعالى of the prophet في بلاء الأعلى in the high above he is praising him he is telling his angels the nobility and the honor of the prophet صلى الله عليه صلى الله عليه وسلم so he is praising the prophet عليه الصلاة عليه الصلاة والسلام that's the call taken by أبو عالية الرياحي he is the one who mentioned that أبو عالية said that that is what أبو عالية mentioned as Bukhari bought it in his صحيح مع اللقن and we take that opinion and as a book you can read more into this issue it's written by ابن القيب it's called جلاء الأفهام في فضل الصلاة على خيل الألام جلاء الأفهام في فضل الصلاة على خيل الألام وإبن القيب brings all the narrations pertaining to sending salutation on the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and he talks about the virtue of it and it's a book worth reading أما بعد the author then says to proceed the author says to proceed فهذه هي رسالة this is a book رسالة little not even a book فهذه الكتاب this is the same رسالة رسالة هي a brochure okay لطيفة it's a good but brochure وابحوث المفيدة إن شاء الله تعالى and there's good research إن شاء الله تعالى the author says in this brochure in this little رسالة this little message there's going to be إن شاء الله in it بحوث good research beneficial research إن شاء الله تعالى there's going to be in it وبحوث مفيدة beneficial research إن شاء الله تعالى if Allah wills جمعتوها I gathered it شيخ ناصر is saying this I gathered it لبيان اللباس اللي يجب على المرأة المسلمة إن شاء الله إن شاء الله جمعتوها I gathered in this بك إن شاء الله إن شاء الله I gathered it اللي بيان اللي باس to explain and to clarify the clothing which is obligatory اللي يجب على المرأة المسلمة that's obligatory on the Muslim woman إن شاء الله in which she should cover herself with إن شاء الله اذا خرجت من داريها when she leaves her house this book is what so the author here is explaining what is this book about it is about the way that a Muslim woman it's obligatory on her to dress and what is it that is upon her to wear when she what إن شاء الله خارجة من داريها when she leaves her house and as you know there is a difference between when the woman is in her house and when she's outside her house the clothing she wears so he's talking about when the woman leaves her house وشروط الواجب and the obligatory conditions تحققها في the obligatory conditions that have to be in the hijab وشروط الواجب تحققها فيه حتى يكون لباسه الإسلامي so it can become an islamic clothing so it can be a what an islamic clothing so what's the aim of this book and why is the author so it can be a what an islamic clothing so it can be a what an islamic clothing so what's the what's the aim of this book and why is the author written this book for he's written this book for the following first of all is ليبياني ليباسي to explain the clothing which is obligatory upon every muslim woman to cover herself with إذا خمجت من دارها one if she leaves her house number two is what وشروط الواجب the obligatory conditions that have to be present حتى يكون لباسه الإسلامي so it can be an islamic clothing those are the two things that he authored this book for وستنت في ذلك على الكتاب والسردة now the author is going to mention to us how is he going to prove how is he going to prove what is the conditions and what is obligatory upon the muslim woman to dress herself with because to say this is obligatory that a woman has to wear this what is it it's a حكم شرعي it's a it's a legislation from who from Allah Allah is the only one who can say this is obligatory and only Allah can say this is حرام and only Allah can say this is permissible لا شيخ ناصر can say that no other other than شيخ ناصر can't say that that's not the only Allah he can say so شيخ ناصر say it where i'm getting from what is obligatory on the woman and what she has to wear وستنت في ذلك I have used and I have leaned on الكتاب وستنت I've used the كتاب and the سنة as my reference point I will get everything which I say every ruling I bring I'm going to bring the Quran for this and I'm also going to bring the سنة for this that's what he said is he going to be right in some places but there are things that we're also going to differ with him and disagree with the شيخ I'm not accepting it and we will challenge him in it when it comes to the points that he brings regarding the جلب and the face veil we will argue against his belief and then it leaves you all upon your choices if you want to then be inclined to the opinion of شيخ ناصر or if you want to be inclined to the opinion of those scholars who said it's obligatory for the woman to cover her face but we will bring both parties and we won't be biased I hope so وستنت في ذلك I have referenced and I have used in my argument improving what's obligatory on the woman to wear when she leaves her house and the conditions of what is obligatory for the clothing to be an Islamic clothing I have used the Kit'an and I've also used the سنة for this I've also used the سنة for this مستر شيدا بما ورد فيه من الأتار مستر شيدا ميدوش looking for guidance through what بما ورد فيه من أتاري I'm oh so he's using the Quran and then he's using the سنة and then شيخ ناصر I'm also going to try to find guidance through بما ورد فيه من أتاري وأقوالي من الصحابة والأئمة statements that have been transmitted that have been brought forward from the companions and the imams of Islam the علماء the فقاها the jurists statements that they've said I'm also going to use them is evidence evidence to the understanding of the Kit'an and the سنة not evidence is that in that need their statements independently it's a proof no it's not no one statement is independently a proof are you there but we respect the علماء's understanding what we respect is what their understanding of the their text the Kit'an and that سنة so the sheikh here رحم الله that's his that's his path in in this issue of Jilban is there anything else a muslim can want in knowing the ruling of a matter through the Kit'an and the Sunnah and the Ataar the texts that have been transmitted to you from the statements of the companions and the students of the companions and the imams of Islam is there anything but that's how it should be that's how every person who wants to bring forward a ruling in Islam has to take it's not about emotions it's not about how you feel what is it the issue of is the ruling of a matter is based on that is based upon الكتاب والسنة and so it's the Qur'an and the Sunnah and the statements that have come from the companions and the scholars of Islam that's what sheikh Nasser is going to now the sheikhs he moves on to say if i get it right to show you that the علماء don't believe in any way that they are infallible that they are errorless if my arguments are correct and it's in accordance to what it should be in the Kit'an even if i get it right who is the praise i'm going to go back to الله سبحانه و تعالى and the virtue is with what is with الله سبحانه و تعالى والبنة and praise and virtue is with him سبحانه و تعالى he is virtuous in that are you with me brother in this system this again shows you the humility of the sheikh رحمه الله و تعالى and that the truth you don't believe that you're the one who's carrying the banner of the truth are you there you're you're suckering to be wrong sometimes you can get things wrong شغناس رحمه الله و تعالى he has مسائل حديثية matters of حديث he himself came back from طراجعات العلماني he authored works where he takes a hadith from the from the where he weakened it and then years in his life it came clear to him that they're not weak in narration they're actually authentic so what did he do he moved it from his and he placed it in his right that started from his ضعيف too he's صحيح are you there and his students they came after him and what they did was they actually they wrote books on and they're coming back from some narration but in that it can sometimes you do see people who say شغناس are authenticated in this hadith and when you look at it it was what he authenticated in the beginning is what he authenticated beginning and that he came back from from the hadith he weakened and he authenticated later or he authenticated and then he weakened so if شغناسر himself is coming back from his own views and you know it's harder for a person to come back from their own views then would it be a problem if somebody differs with شغناسر no it's right and it's legit for anyone to differ with him in authentication are you with me there's no book on the face of this that we say it's a hundred percent right except the book of Allah صحيح the book of Allah is the only book that Allah says in the Quran لو جدوا فيه اختلافا كثيرا you find contradiction in it صح the Quran was to come from anyone other than Allah it would contradict it contradict itself and then a scholar is bound to do mistakes that the reason why his book is going to have to have a mistake is because if it's all right then what would be the difference between that book and the Quran there has to be a visa there has to be that distinct status for the Quran if no other books carry and then every single book is معرضه للخطأ every book that you find it's open for mistakes and everybody who speaks is open for mistakes are you with me brother and sisters so when we say that but what we don't do is and this is what people always fall into that when they say this person got it wrong they think that puts his status down no it doesn't it doesn't put the person's status down he's an Imam Imam شيخ ناصر is an Imam but he has mistakes there are things that we're going to say he got this wrong we're not going to say it of course we're not on a level to say that about him or that Calabar to say that about him are you with me but we're going to reference other علامة who corrected him in issues and we're going to look between what these علامة have said and what he has said and we'll take which of those is in accordance and more closer to the evidence or is in line of the in line of the evidence and he himself may Allah SWT his never-ending mercy onto him is saying in Asad 2 if I get it right فمن الله تعالى it's only from Allah وَلَاهُ الْفَبْرُ وَالْمِنَّةَ but when you differ with شيخ ناصر don't differ with him because of emotions not only شيخ ناصر but any Imam إيمامة المسلمين أبو حني فإيمام مالك إيمام مشافعين إيمام محمد if you do differ with them in a messaala differ with them based on knowledge and proof not awatif not based on emotions in which you have that شيخ then says وَإِنْ كَانَةِ الْأُخْرَاءَ if it's the opposite meaning I get it right I get it wrong sorry if I get it wrong so he said if I get it right it's from Allah alone and he's the one who's got the virtue for that but what about if I get it wrong فَذَا لِكَ مِنْ مِيْ the mistake is from me the fault is attributed to me the good did he attribute to himself who did he attribute it to that's a characteristic of a believer when calamity is before you and you go through a hardship who should you blame don't blame Allah when a muslim the muslims are getting harmed in a particular land in the world whether it be surya or somalia or the rohingyans we don't blame Allah we do not blame Allah who do we blame we blame ourselves we bring the we bring the finger of blame directly at ourselves and we don't attribute it to Allah سبحانه وتعالى these atrocities why because Allah has a sunnah He has ways He has a path لا تتبدل ولا تتغير that doesn't change that doesn't change which is ذلك يبقى قدمت اي ديكو that is what your hands have put forward that's how Allah سبحانه وتعالى if a person does a mistake that mistake can't just go in the air and visit and go it has to have a consequence things have consequences the lying that you lied yesterday the wrongdoing that you did yesterday the crimes that you're committing they have to have what have the consequences they have to have what consequences they have to have consequences the sheikh says if I do a mistake فدالي كميلي it's for me the mistake is for me وَأَسْأَلُهُ الْعَفْوَهُ I ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى for forgiveness وَالْمَغْفِرَةَ لِذَنْبِي and that He forgives me for my sins عفو and المغفرة what's the difference العفو is when you're when it is you're forgiven and it's not written for you المغفرة is when it's forgiven but it's still written for you لذنبس forgive me for my sins الله إنه عفو كريم غفور الرحيم الله is one that's forgiving generous and He's one who's forgiven which is gracious and merciful to His creation سبحانه وتعالى so He's begging Allah سبحانه وتعالى for forgiveness of these mistakes that He might do that might occur from Him عليه رحمة الله now the author is saying why did He author this book what made Him write the book in the first place what made Him want to write about the issue pertaining to the women's jilban are you with me what brought this idea to Him شغناصر رحمة الله He said He said and this was a request from some noble beloved brothers who requested from me the authorship of this book and the writing of this book is with what it is بطلب it's from a request من بعض الإخوان some brothers they requested from me أل أحبه that are beloved to me they requested from me اللذي نظل فيه مصلاحة والاستقامة in which we believe regarding them that they are righteous and that they are steadfast and upright that's what we believe of them we believe they are people people who are righteous we believe of them that they are are people who are piety the ones who requested from me والحرص على العمل بما يدلو عليه الكتاب والسلم and what we also believe of them is that they strive these individuals to implement that which the كتاب and the sunnah show they are a people who we know of them piety and nobility we also know of them implementing what the Qur'an and the sunnah does so they want to know any issue what does the Qur'an and the sunnah say regarding it because they want to go and implement it that's what we know of these people who are asking me say and the day of his wedding has become very close one of them شغلاصل was requested he was asked and this is something you find very common شغلاصل they author a book they put some treaty together they will put a risale together and why would they do that because they got requested from them somebody came and said can you author this and this is to show you that the أولى مان live with the people they're not living in the mood they know the people's problems they know where the people are suffering from they speak about the contemporary issue that the people are suffering from they have they have a مجال in it but they don't speak about it like politicians the people of knowledge don't speak about issues like politicians and say this is the statistics and this is they don't do that they go back to the quran and the sunnah and the way that the quran and sunnah are spoken about this particular issue are you with me so شغلاصل says وقد دلى يوم الزفافه يوم الزفافه sorry جعله الله مباركا عليه وعلى آله وذريته فرأيته من الواجم أن أبادنا إلى إجابة طلبه وتحقيق رغبته شغلاصل then said فرأيته I saw بايني على نفسي الواجم I saw that it was obligatory and mandatory أن أبادنا إلى إجابة طلبه that I want I answer the request that they put forward that now I come and I do what they asked me for وتحقيق رغبته and specifically this individual who's wedding is about to be closed that I fulfill his desires what he wants على الرغم من ضيق وقتي even that though my time is so tight شغلاصل رحمه الله وتعالى his time was like that we mentioned yesterday he was an individual whose minutes his seconds they all counted for him are you with me I told you this before شغلاصل if you ever got invited at weddings he would take his books with him if you got invited at weddings he would take his books and what he would do is he would take his pen and paper out عليه رحمة الله and he would write the content page for his book he would use that moment to write the فهرص of his kitab the content page for his book that's what he would do and he would say this is my time of enjoyment I'm enjoying myself because writing the فهرص for him is minor compared to how he has to spend so much time looking at looking at what looking at manuscripts and going into books that are not published they had written he's looking at them and he's looking at each narrator his name and narrators names are very close in writing trying to be accurate that he's writing the right name are you with me so he said my time is very tight but he's شغلاصل has a schedule he's got a project that he's in front of him he's going to mention it that he's trying to accomplish and then people are asking him to do things he still has time to fulfill their needs he said my time is very tight and I have turned I did in صلاف I'm turned towards my project which I have put forward there's a project which I'm doing and Lady أسمي to which I called it I called this project bringing the sunnah close to the umma I'm placing it in front of the umma I called this project she'll not be saying this I embarked on an effort and on a project that I'm doing which I called it تقريب السنة bringing the sunnah close بين يدي الأمة in front of the umma that's a project I embarked on what was this project it was to work on the four books of the sunnah سنة بيداود ترميدي إبريماجه ونسائي are you with me that was the project that he's embarked on عليها رحمة الله did he finish it and do it يدرق رحمة الله تعالى he worked on each and every one of them لا شتناصل تقريب السنة بين يدي الأمة الذي شرعت فيه منذ سنة وزيادة and he said I embarked on it منذ سنة وزيادة two years and more two years and more I've been doing this this one I've been doing مبتبي and I started with سنة لأبي داود الله أكبر people would sometimes say to you شخ ناصب doesn't have it he doesn't have what he doesn't have it the great scholar the great malik is scholar ابن العربي المعرفة بالألف واللم he said if a person was only with the moushaf the moushaf and sooner the abe dawood there would be no other book he would be in need of فسنة سنة بي داود and he has the moushaf in the Qur'an and he knows the Qur'an he's got that with him and he has the sooner abe dawood that's it you know why what is it that everybody needs الكتابه and sooner the abe dawood is the best book in fiqh even better than بخالي المسلم سنة بي داود is better the hadith that I'm there are purely purely what fiqh relate to hadith so sheikh nasir has to come work on the narration authenticating it looking at it checking it verifying the wordings are right this is as accurate as the prophet said it of course the sheikh has fiqh of course he has fiqh he started with that and guess what did he do he took sooner the abe dawood he divided a hadith which are b'aif in one place and he called it بعيف سنة بي داود and then he went and he authored صحيح سنة بي داود a hadith which are صحيح سنة بي داود he put it in one place and the hadith which were b'aif of sooner abe dawood he put it in one place عليها رحمة الله and then after that he's student sheikh مشور حسن what he did was he bought the sooner abe dawood are you there the actual sooner abe dawood all the hadith the way they are just the method of the hadith and each a hadith he just placed بعيف and صحيح in red in brackets just to know what sheikh nasif said about it and he then tells you the reference point of if you want to look more into it why it's weak or صحيح some people don't want to they just want to know is it صحيح or b'aif that's what they want to know right so what did he do he placed in brackets before the hadith بعيف صحيح are you there and you go back and you can check why it's صحيح or b'aif مبتدي and I started my project with the project كو تقريب سنة بين يدي الأمة I started with sooner abe dawood ثم توقفت عنه then I I withheld from this I stopped this project ممدو أشهولي for a couple of months now one لعرض الطرق على عيني اليومنا a problem occurred in my right eye one of my right eyes شغناصر was having a problem with it so the doctor said to him that if you want the problem to go you would have to stop reading to relax take it easy on yourself what you're doing is what's going to kill you and شغناصر رحمه الله he said no what's going to kill me is stop doing that what's going to kill me is when I stop when I stop doing it so what he did was he didn't stop the project that he was doing in totality and the works that he was doing but anything that had that involved long research and that involved looking deep he paused for a little bit and he did the simple stuff like right in this book


From theCUBE Studios in Palo Alto in Boston, bringing you data-driven insights from theCUBE and ETR. This is Breaking Analysis with Dave Vellante. When a piece of digital art sells for $69.3 million, more than has ever been paid for works by Gogan or Salvador Dali, making it's created the third most expensive living artist in the world. One can't help but take notice and ask what is going on? The latest craze around NFTs may feel a bit bubble-ishous, but it's yet another sign that the digital age is now fully upon us. Hello and welcome to this week's Wikibon Cube Insights powered by ETR. In this Breaking Analysis, we want to take a look at some of the trends that may be difficult for observers and investors to understand, but we think offer significant insights to the future, and possibly some opportunities for young investors, many of whom are fans of this program and how the trends may relate to enterprise tech. Okay, so this guy, Beeple, is now the hottest artist on the planet. That's his Twitter profile, that picture on the inset. His name is Mike Winkelman. He's actually a normal looking dude, but that's the picture he chose for his Twitter. This collage reminds me of the million dollar homepage. You may already know the story, but many of you may not. Back in 2005, a college kid from England named Alex2, T-E-W, created the million dollar homepage to fund his education. And his idea was to create a website with a million pixels and sell ads at a dollar for each pixel. Guess how much money he raised? Million bucks, right? No, wrong. He raised $1,037,100. How so, you asked? Well, he auctioned off the last thousand pixels on eBay, which fetched an additional $38,000. Crazy, right? Well, maybe not, pretty creative and a way, way early sign of things to come. Now, I'm not going to go deep into NFTs and explain the justification behind them. There's a lot of material that's been published that can do justice to the topic better than I can. But here are the basics. NFTs stands for non-fungible tokens. They're digital representations of assets that exist on a blockchain. Now, each token has a unique and immutable identifier, and it uses cryptography to ensure its authenticity. NFTs, by the name, they're not fungible. So unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other cryptocurrencies, which can be traded on a like-to-like basis. In other words, if you and I each own one Bitcoin, we know exactly how much each of our Bitcoins is worth at any point in time. Non-fungible tokens each have their own unique value, so they're not comparable on a like-to-like basis. But what's the point of this? Well, NFTs can be applied to any property, identities, tweets, videos, we're seeing collectibles, digital art, pretty much anything. I mean, it's really, the use cases are unlimited. And NFTs can streamline transactions, and they can be bought and sold very efficiently without the need for a trusted third party involved. Now, the other benefit is the probability of fraud is greatly reduced. You know, so where do NFTs fit as an asset class? Well, they're definitely a new type of asset. And again, I'm not going to try to justify their existence, but I want to talk about the choices that investors have in the market today. The other day I was on a call with Jay Poe, he's a VC and a principal at a company called Stage Two Capital. He's a former Bessemer VC and one of the sharper investors around. And he was talking about the choices that investors have, and he gave a nice example that I want to share with you and try to apply here. Now, as an investor, you have alternatives, of course. And we're showing here a few with their year-to-date charts. Now, as an example, you can buy Amazon stock. Now, if you bought just about exactly a year ago, you did really well. You probably saw around an 80% return or more. But if you want to jump in today, your mindset might be, hmm, well, okay, Amazon, they're going to be around for a long time. So it's kind of low risk. And I like the stock, but you're probably going to get, well, let's say maybe a 10% annual return over the long term, 15% or maybe less, maybe single digits, but maybe more than that. But it's unlikely that any kind of reasonable timeframe within any reasonable timeframe, you're going to get a 10x return. In order to get that type of return on invested capital, Amazon would have to become a $16 trillion valued company. So you sit there, you ask yourself, what's the probability that Amazon goes out of business? Well, that's pretty low, right? And what are the chances it becomes a $16 trillion company over the next several years? Well, it's probably more likely that it continues to grow at that more stable rate that I talked about. Okay, now let's talk about Snowflake. Now, as you know, we've covered the company quite extensively. We watched this company grow from an early stage startup and then saw its valuation increase steadily as a private company. But even early last year, it was valued around $12 billion I think in February. And as late as mid-September, right before the IPO, news hit that Mark Benioff and Warren Buffett were going to put in $250 million each at the IPO or just after the IPO. It was projected that Snowflake's valuation could go over $20 billion at that point. And on day one after the IPO, Snowflake closed worth more than $50 billion. The stock opened at 120, but unless you knew a guy, you had to hold your nose and buy on day one. And maybe you got it at 240, maybe you got it at 250, you might've got it at higher. And at the time, you might recall, I said, you're likely going to get a better price than on day one, which is usually the case with most IPOs. Stock today is around 230. But you look at Snowflake today, and if you want to buy in, you look at it and say, okay, well, I like the company. It's probably still overvalued, but I can see the company's value growing substantially over the next several years, maybe doubling in the near to midterm. I mean, it hit more than $100 billion valuation back as recently as December. So that's certainly feasible. The company's not likely to flame out because it's highly valued. I have to probably be patient for a couple of years, but let's say I like the management, I like the company, maybe the company gets into the $200 billion range over time, I can make a decent return. But to get a 10x return on Snowflake, you have to get to a valuation of over half a trillion. Now to get there, if it gets there, it's going to become one of the next great software companies of our time. And frankly, if it gets there, I think it's going to go to a trillion. So that's what your bet is, and then you would be happy with that, of course, but what's the likelihood? As an investor, you have to evaluate that. What's the probability? So it's a lower risk investment, Snowflake, but maybe more likely that Snowflake, they run into competition or the market shifts, maybe they get into the $200 billion range, but it really has to transform the industry and execute for you to get into that 10-bagger territory. Okay, now let's look at a different asset that is cryptocurrency called Compound, way more risky, but Compound is a decentralized protocol that allows you to lend and borrow cryptocurrencies. Now, I'm not saying go out and buy Compound, but just as a thought exercise, here's got an asset here with a lower valuation, probably much higher upside, but much higher risk. But so for Compound to get to 10x return, it's got to get to $20 billion valuation. Now maybe Compound isn't the right asset for your cup of tea, but there are many cryptos that have made it that far. And if you do your research and your homework, you could find a project that's much, much earlier stage that yes, is higher risk, but has a much higher upside that you can participate in. So this is how investors, all investors really look at their choices and make decisions. And the more sophisticated investors, they're going to use detailed metrics and analyze things like Moeq multiple on invested capital and IRR, which is internal rate of return to TAM analysis, total available market. They're going to look at competition. They're going to look at detailed company models and ARR and churn rates and so forth. But one of the things we really want to talk about today, and we brought this up at the Snowflake IPO, is if you were Buffett or Benioff, and you had to quarter a billion dollars to put in, you could get an almost guaranteed return with your late in the game, but pre IPO money. Or look, if you were Mike Spicer, or one of the earlier VCs, or even someone like Jeremy Burton, who was part of the inside network, you could get stock or options much cheaper. You get a 5x, 10x, 50x, or even north of 100x return, like the early VCs who took a big risk. But chances are, you're not one of these in one of these categories. So how can you as a little guy participate in something big? And you might remember at the time of the Snowflake IPO, we showed you this picture. Who are these people? Olaf Carlson, we, Chris Dixon, this gal Sonal, and of course, Tim Berners-Lee, you know. But these are some of the folks that inspired me personally to pay attention to crypto. And I want to share the premise that caught my attention, it was this. Think about the early days of the internet. If you saw what Berners-Lee was working on, or Linus Torvalds, and wanted to invest in the internet, you really couldn't.  I mean, suppose you could have invested in Cisco after its IPO, and that would have paid off pretty big time for sure, or you could have waited for the Netscape IPO, but the core infrastructure of the internet was fundamentally not directly a candidate for investment. By you or really, by anybody. And Satya Nadella said the other day, we have reached maximum centralization. The main protocols of the internet were largely funded by the government, and they've been co-opted by the giants. But with crypto, you actually can invest in core infrastructure technologies that are building out a decentralized internet, a new internet, you call it Web 3.0. It's a big part of the investment thesis behind what Carlson Wee is doing. And in Dresen Horowitz, they have two crypto funds, they've raised more than $800 million to invest. And you should read the firm's crypto investment thesis. Yeah, maybe even take their crypto startup classes. There's some great content there. Now, one of the people that I haven't mentioned in this picture is Camilla Russo. She's a journalist. She's turned into hardcore crypto authors doing a great job explaining the white-hot definance space or decentralized finance. If you're interested, read her work and educate yourself and learn more about the future. And perhaps you'll find some 10x or even 100x opportunities. So look, there's so much innovation going around, going on around blockchain and crypto. I mean, you could listen to Warren Buffett and Janet Yellen who imply this is all gonna end badly. But well, look, these individuals, they're smart people. I don't think they would be my go-to source in understanding the potential of the technology and the future of what it could bring. Now, we talked earlier at the start here about NFTs. Now, DeFi is one of the most interesting and disruptive trends to fintech. Names like Celsius, Nexo, BlockFi. BlockFi lets actually the average person participate in liquidity pools is actually quite interesting. Crypto is going mainstream. Tesla, MicroStrategy, they're putting Bitcoin on their balance sheets.  Yet, just the other day, JPM announced a structured investment vehicle to give its clients a basket of stocks that have exposure to crypto. PayPal allowing customers to buy, sell and hold crypto. You can trade crypto on Robinhood. Central Banks are talking about launching digital currencies. I talked about the Fedcoin for a number of years, and why not? Coinbase is doing an IPO that will give it a value of over a hundred billion. Wow, you know, that sounds frothy. But still, big names like Mark Cuban and Jamat Pallipataya have been active in crypto for a while. Gronk is getting into NFTs. So it does have a little bit of that bubble feel to it. But look, often when tech bubbles burst, they shake out the pretenders. But if there's real tech involved, some contenders emerge. So, and they often do so as dominant players. And I really believe that the innovation around crypto is going to be sustained. Now, there is a new web being built out.  Dig in and find out about new projects and form a thesis and you may as a small player be able to find some big winners. But look, you do have to be careful. There was a lot of fraud during the ICO craze. There's your risk. So understand the tokenomics and maybe as importantly, the pumponomics because they certainly loom as dangers. This is not for the faint of heart, but because I believe it involves real tech, I like it way better than Reddit stocks like GameStop, for example. Now, not to discredit, there's some good information on Reddit if you're patient, you can find it. There's lots of good information flowing on Discord and there's people flocking the telegram as a hedge against big tech. Maybe this all sounds crazy. And you know what? If you've grown up in a privileged household and you have a U.S. education, maybe it is nuts and a bit too risky for you. But if you're one of the many people who haven't been able to participate in these elite circles, there are things going on, especially outside of the U.S. that are democratizing investment opportunities. And I think that's pretty cool. You just got to be careful. So look, this is a bit off topic from our typical focus and ETR survey analysis. So let's bring this back to the enterprise because there's a lot going on there as well with blockchain. Now, let me first share some quotes on blockchain from a few ETR Venn roundtables. First comment is from a CIO to the diversified holdings company who says correctly, blockchain will hit the finance industry first, but there are use cases in healthcare, given the privacy and security concerns and logistics to ensure provenance and reduce fraud. And to that individual's point about finance, this is from the CTO of a major financial platform. We're really taking a look at payments. Yeah, do you think traditional banks are gonna lose control of the payment systems? Well, not without a fight, I guess. But look, there's some real disruption possibilities here. And this last comment from a government CIO says, we're gonna wait until the big platform players bake it into their software. And so that is happening. Oracle, IBM, VMware, Microsoft, AWS, Cisco, they all have blockchain initiatives going on. Now, by the way, none of these tech companies wants to talk about crypto. They try to distance themselves from that topic, which is understandable, I guess. But I'll tell you, there's far more innovation going on in crypto than there is in enterprise tech companies at this point. But I predict that the crypto innovations will absolutely be seeping into enterprise tech players over time. But for now, the cloud players, they want to support developers who are building out this new internet. The database is certainly a logical place to support immutable transactions, which allow people to do business one-on-one and have total confidence that the source hasn't been hacked or changed. And infrastructure to support smart contracts, we've seen that. The use cases in the enterprise are endless, asset tracking, data access, food tracking, maintenance, KYC or know your customer. There's applications in different industries, telecoms, oil and gas, on and on and on. So look, think of NFTs as a signal. Crypto craziness is a signal. It's a signal as to how IT and other parts of companies and their data might be organized, managed and tracked and protected and very importantly, valued. Look today, there's a lot of memes, crypto kitties, art, of course, money as well, money's the killer app for blockchain. But in the future, the underlying technology of blockchain and the many percolating innovations around it could become, I think will become, a fundamental component of a new digital economy. So get on board, do some research and learn for yourself. Okay, that's it for today. Remember, all these episodes, they're available as podcasts, wherever you listen.
