Wel, gyma'r toffi TV, mi yn Tom agon nhw'n have a chiat about centre backs quite obvious and confirmed by Carlo Ancelotti that Everton do need a centre back at the moment and are in the market for one, more than likely just alone. Obviously Mason Hullgate out for six weeks, another six weeks at least and Jarrod Grant wait now out for a month as hast and that's it and Lewis Gibson of course has joined Redding on loan so Everton are down to just two fit centre backs at the moment at the club. We've got obviously three players who've been mentioned quite heavily over the last couple of weeks and one that's been going on for a while and so we just thought we'd have a little chat about the need for a centre back. So before we get into these, we desperately need to really now to get one. Yeah, I think after the brand-weath injury, feel like it's pushed it along a lot. I mean Hullgate as well, there's two out and then they've gone, they've let Gibson go on loan which you're hoping then there's obviously someone coming in if they've let Gibson go. But yeah, I think it's more needed now than everything like last summer we left it, well we didn't do it did we? So I think. But then I suppose I'd say with that summer's last summer it worked out because Hullgate developed didn't it? Yeah, I think they stumbled across it. This year, we haven't got that option. Yeah, I think they stumbled across that. Oh yeah, well I think they were going to let him go. Yeah, I mean he was playing at West Brom and right back when he, he still had a good Sam neighbour I think. I think even like last year we were going to help Zoom and get back and he put all our eggs in one basket with that. And hopefully now that's sort of the lame from that. And if they can't get the first man then they go with the second and if they can't get the third but they need someone. What do you think the profileist are looking at? What do you think it's, because we've obviously got two big stoppers playing at the minute in key in the meaner. So do you think we're looking at someone who's got that piece? Well yeah it's someone who can come out of the fence and go break the lines isn't it? You can find the person, you can find Calvert Lewin or you can find Rich Charles. It's someone who can sort of not take time but can sort of get involved with the person because obviously we know Michael Keynes got his limits. We know me and he's a little bit better on the ball you'd say but I feel like he does want that ball playing defender. So hopefully he does get it, I mean I think don't forget me long, I think if you get someone who's a bit like Michael Keynes.  I mean hopefully he goes and switches on to the right hand side. But yeah I think that's the profile, I mean I think Gabrielle shows you the profile and you were after when it. I mean he looks like a very good sign and for Arsenal though. As I say this plays out there very similar I mean there's not many, he's not a unicorn is he Gabrielle? So there is some out there. Let's go through the names that have been mentioned and obviously for Kyle Timore he appears and I think it's quite clear. He's evidence number one option. It's been complicated by the sending off of Christianson last week. I think it's Chelsea against Liverpool. Everton reports way that it was very close and then Frank Lampard has had a change of heart again, which is what happened 12 months ago with Kate Zuma and Tamori. They ended up selling David Louis to Arsenal and Tamori was off. So Everton and by all accounts the player wants to come as well. This lad's got his good on the ball and he's quick as well isn't he? Well he can play that left side defence. I mean as we were saying before with Holgate he sort of looks at the goalkeeping and he can't bring it away with his body because he hasn't really got a left foot so he's not comfortable with it. So I think him I think you'd see a lot better more style of play with Everton if he could get some one of that profile. I mean he's not left footed naturally but he's very comfortable with it. When you're watching for Chelsea, which is quite surprising that he just got left out of the team completely. I thought that was a bit strange of it because I thought he was handled the Premier League quite well, especially coming up from championship where he done well at Darby. You look and think well they've saved themselves nearly on £58 million there with someone like him. Obviously they don't see him as a future central defender so yeah. I think he's very good in the sense of bringing the ball out fine and players through the lines. I think that's what with the central defenders at Everton. They can't punch it through, they cannot get it through. Holgate can do it but you're coming from an awkward position. So I think with him I think it'd be the best things. Would you have a buy? Well I mean that's what you'd hope for. You don't have a bit of a dream. I mean I guess one thing it does if you take him on loan it gives you the year then to look for, if you can't get him, who's similar to him. Especially if it works out it's like we give ourselves now to next to you to identify someone. Because obviously without Covid we'd have had Gabrielle it was done practically wasn't it? And obviously things changed and for whatever it is. It's always happened innit? Well listen, whether the pot of money would have meant we couldn't have gone on loan or however it worked I don't know but he's ended up harassing and he looks at the player. So it'll give us a guess that amount of time now to identify the next Gabrielle that you should because he isn't a unicorn. You know I like to like to say Nia Catty it makes a thing he's left footed six foot four or six foot three in Gisgwll but you know obviously. Another French one. Yeah but like so there's other players. There's sons of them. You know so someone like Tymori on loan gives you that buy, you get that time. Yeah I mean it depends on how the club see Branthwaith and how they see Gibson. Yeah of course yeah. I mean did he look at Gibson and think just give him a year at Redden and then bring him back and then he starts. He looks very comfortable on the ball Gibson he doesn't very well at Fleetwood. So I think I mean he might be off the he might be a year off maybe two years off but I think Everton it's sort of they've got to start producing. It's now or never really. They can't as I said you can't really be looking to sort of develop players where they are in the league and things like that. Everton needs to be challenging for Europe now. He can't wait two three years for players unfortunately we're just not at that position. So I think he will be the perfect. He'll be the perfect thing for Holgate as well. I think he compliments each other. Especially with Keane. Keane's just does the dog work. Don't he I mean he's obviously this season I thought he's become a lot confident in his playing. Yeah he has. I mean he's seen it when he first come he was sort of a bit panic he didn't unsure of himself and things like that. Hopefully a player like that takes that side away and you can just deal with defending. Definitely. He's had a 117 career appearances for goals played obviously in a championship and that's a good I always think that's really good because it toughens them up a bit. It was excellent for Dabi like you said and obviously he's played well for Chelsea and even scored an absolutely well. He for Chelsea at Wolves last season from about 35 yards. He played nearly like 30 games for Dabi. So he's got the experience. He's got the experience and I think what you see as well is when you see Keane Lee doing it in the Premier League he's done it in a team where he was developing last year. So he never really had it. He went in like a dominant side and I know he done well but he was still you know struggle. Still lost games. Yeah exactly so but for that first six months I thought he handles himself very well I thought he put himself in the shot window in it. Definitely. Chelsea played a funny business it's highly up to him. Well after she fingers crossed but I mean at the moment I'd say it's looking it's looking less than 50-50 but hopefully that could change. It's the Christiansen thing isn't it? That's the issue. Rudig is now saying he wants out he's left out the 18s. So well after well after she hopefully it can happen but if it does. Have Chelsea been linked with any other defenders? I don't think they have actually. No they were like making for Tiago Silva to be fit aren't they? So whether they were just worried about him for the first two weeks but he's training again now and obviously Ben Chill wills come and he's still got Aspel Aquetta who I think is good in the three at the back. So I don't know we'll see. The next one we'll look at is Towson Adderabio who's at Manchester City 22 years of age 23 in December. He's had 79 appearances albeit mainly the loan and three goals he scored in his career. He's a player who apparently doesn't want to stay now at Manchester because he's not really been given a chance and now he's highly rated very highly rated. I think he's won 6-4, 6-5. He's a big lad. He's a big lad. He's obviously got a lot of good attributes but I know you're a little bit you're not convinced by this one. It's not that I'm not convinced it's just like is he ready to go fill in in the team right now. My opinion I don't think so I mean he comes up well on stats and you look at it and you think he wins near on 70% of his defensive duels or 70% ran that area of his aerial duels but when you start looking at the video like I was saying to you before he's a bit passive. He's not aggressive in his tackles to go in as a safe flatten someone or just to know that you're there. You're there with like carriages and like make a ritchit on all and he was saying like on Monday night he was saying as soon as I get on that pitch I'm in and I'm letting them know I'm there and where aim I think he's just at that age where he's not here a man to start showing that aggressiveness on all that board of thing. I mean on he'd be brilliant to develop you've got to look at it in the sense of who's he going to stop then to develop to stop Gibson is it worth bringing him in and then what happens next year so for you then before we carry on obviously we're toast and I look at the last player who's being mentioned what would you do because obviously we've got you've got Jeri Mina and we've got Michael Key now Michael Key's just signed an extension so he's not going anywhere Jeri's got three years left so obviously next summer it's the two years and the two years when you either give him a new contract or you sell them so for you what do we do then this summer do we just bring in a loan literally for a short term or would you still be if it was some more he say would you then be making the decision on me in the next summer then and giving him a year to prove himself Maybe it all depends on how the club the club might say it and go well we've got two lads there who can play that and they might be highly rated at the club so they might go and everything is to get in a player who's sort of done it in the Premier League and he's going to come on loan for a year it'll help him and it'll help us in the future where we can develop him for the year but then we've got then Gibson and Bramfwyth in it it's how you're going to look at it maybe they go the day on the line where if they can't get some more then they start looking at older players where they can come and do a job for two seasons where you know if you're off the top in the edge you've got small ones small ones a bit of a thing a lot of people just switch that way but as I say though if you watch small one you play well in Italy he played well so you look at him and he's 31 in November but then you look at him and you're looking for 18 million which is a bit I don't think they might get that form you're looking at 15 million for a player you've got to weigh it up haven't you, you've got to see if he'll come in and do a job the best option then is it's alone and Tomori fits what it is with Tomori when you're looking at players and you're looking at your scouting players it takes the doubt out of can he do it in the league because he's done it so that the questions with him are not on Tomori because he's done it so you become it's a bit of a shorting and it's on Tomori every player risk but he's less of a risk because he's been before players in the past he's young enough he's young he's short he's got the face of what the Premier League's about he's had taste of games at Dabi and a hard league a lot of people think it is a big jump but to develop and do well the way he did, he did do very well so yeah I think I imagine Tomori more than him because I think with him I think it's more so when Holgate does come back how many games is he going to get if you've got me and Keane and Holgate fifth we haven't got Europe so you're hoping we progress in the Cups you might get his game so you've got to get him his games but yeah I think but then I guess if they feel like he can oust me in a role Keane then that's the thing isn't it and I mean if he called I mean I don't know whether he's going to say me that's their thing I think he might do he might do I mean we looked at him we looked at him on West Brom and he was the first time I've seen me and started questioning him a little bit because it was great at space yeah it was it might have been one of them days it might have been one of them days it might have been one of them days because he's one of them days one Christian is the best and he's the villain on and so and then the final player that's been mentioned since Jaggerlyw'r I think is John Clayte to Deebow who has obviously had a part alone a player who's spent time on loads of other so the least of all of the three we've looked at and scored one goal. I know you feel like he could be a defensive midfiel player, but he is a centre-back by trade I guess, so what are you feeling onto Diba? I mean the question is with him is the short professional appearance of the games he's played. That's the question with me. I mean you went to Shaleche, I think he played ten games I'n sielch y rhan a'r tannag, nid i'n goryngydd, dyna'n groein yn, dath diddyn nhw'n helpu'n... Am i'n llwch bach nawr, yn sielch y byddai'r MS-forum. Not a great way, sorry, not a great team to go and develop on that. Dyna ni'n rhi'n helpu'n helpu'n sylfa i'n sôn seith ymstancers when they come back and, you know, we got caught at brain but, you're going to get that he's only 20, you're going to get decision making. Questions about like what he's going to do. He's 20, you're going to get that even if he comes here, he might be brilliant for a game but he's going to do something like, you go, what's he done there? Cos he's developing, that's what I'm saying. Out of the three, he's probably the most talented as what he's doing. But as I say, as we were talking then, I think he'll be the one who's probably going to push you the key and all me in and out. I think out of the three of these, I think he'll be the one who, if he does hit the ground on it, I think he's the one who's got the big upsides. I mean, I think Shelcharrad, like a 25 million. Yeah, the 25 million pound agreement. Was that Euro or something like that? No, no. But yeah, 25 million Euros, I think. I mean, for the 20-year-old French. But he's very highly rated, I mean, he went from Toulouse, he was very highly rated in, he went to Barcelona. I mean, there's not much things else that you can see. He's very high level, sorry, high sealant. So, yeah, I think out of the three, I mean, he has got more question marks than Samori, but if he cuts at the ground on it, listen, if he plays with Cain, or Meiner, or he has sorts of got that, as I say, experience. Alongside. Alongside, and maybe if he's going with Holgate, maybe it could be a little bit. Inexperience risk, but I think he's one that, if Covid-19, and you sort of seen it as alone in the next year, you've got a year to sort of look around with an option to the 28 million, then maybe it would be one, but I think, Evan, I've got to be very practical and very assured of who to bring in now. I think, for him, my take on to the EBO, and I watched a lot of the shelter games that were locked down in particular, he was all over the place. He's quick, he's good in the air, he's strong, but he's also ill-disciplined, and I don't mean flying into tackles and getting sent off, I mean, leaving his position. Now, whether or not... That's an experience, don't you think? There'll be an experience, and it also could have been Wagner's instructions, carry the ball, I don't know. He had a high progressive run through stats.  He takes some risks though, and I look at him and I just think of him, if we were in the ground, he plays with his socks on his ankles and he's sent to the back. Oh, don't say that.  It's the recipe of disaster in it. But, like you said, he's got all the attributes. If you get him right, he'll be special. Yeah, I mean, all three of them have got doubts over them. More or less so to more, I keep saying, but if you're looking at loan options, you're not going to get a finished asset. You're just not going to get it. I mean, I seen the other day we were linked with Maximovich, I think, from Napoli. Yeah, yeah. But that was looking out of three, mate. East 28. East 28, but... Not the quickest though. Yeah, not the quickest, but, nah. And she lotty knows him. Knows him, so... You look at it that sense, it's free to dance for you. Could that be the way, I mean... There's all kinds of options, but I think the way you're in the room is, you know, let it go on for that young, quick loan at the end of it, maybe. I think of him, I think of Tadibo, or it was Tumori, or any of them there, but I think out of them too. I think if you got one of them, I think they'd have a very good chance of signing them in the summer if you did play well. Yeah, yeah. So maybe that's what to look at then, and then, again, like we've said, the gift is 12 months to six months then. It does, yeah. And also, Brantwick and Gibson, they could look.  He might be just about to be 19 or whatever, so he's a baby daily. I guess the ideal for him would be... If Everton got Tumori, say that happened and me ended up with Christmas, and we've got Tumori keen, me and the whole gate, and she's four. Brantwick could then go on loan in January to get him games. You don't want him sitting on the sideline, not playing. You don't want him, because you can't carry five centrebacks. You have to fit, because there's no point. You're looking at the way, do you want the 20s, everyone? You don't want them laying around for like two or three years. You'd start worrying. I mean, we've still got Matthew Pennington. Yeah. 23, I mean. 26. Oh, sorry, is he? 26. I don't know, I thought it was 23. No, no, 25. Do you understand what it's like? No, but that's what I mean if we got to January, and we had those four, we fit you, because right at the end of January, we'll get you the championship loan. You've played at League, so you've played in the Premier League. Yeah, yeah. So we can get you a club for the next five months. You can even League one. League one, yeah, because you step up. Yeah, me, me, me. Play every week. Yeah. Get your game. I'd like him to go to somewhere where I've had an issue with everyone in the past with sending players on loan. They've sort of sent them, and just sent them to clubs, that you'd never ever see them playing like everyone, or playing in the Premier League. Passing, that's what you need them. You need them to go to somewhere who, or a manager, who would have the confidence in playing them, and who can pass them. Well, you could send them to Fleetwood. Well, that's... People like to go to Fleetwood. He's done a good job with Fleetwood, and he's done a good job at Lewis Gibson. He's aggressive as a manager. Teams play decent football, but they also can mix it. Exactly. Someone likes to have a brand, so they go to Barton and look after him, because he's a blue nose as well. And it gives them league won games, and that will only develop him and help him develop so. Exactly. Maybe in few stands, that's probably a good idea. Maybe start looking at, like you see clubs in that, to start making partnerships with clubs. Of course. And you've also got greater stands, and you're comforting Fleetwood. They'll be a relationship there with that. Maybe you do execute that. Interesting. Let us know what you think in the comments section below, and quite clearly in the market for a centre back, who would you go for? Would one of these three players, young and quick, or maybe like Tom Shreve before, would you rather Everton get an experienced player in for maybe a couple of years, but I guess the caveat of that is then, does that damage the progress of Gibson and Brantwick if you're getting someone who's 28, 29?

It's so comfortable and it did look really cute Which way is pull apart is that way? How do I get that way? Um Not really sure I think I might have to go that way to go that way. I think you might have to go that way to go that way I could go that way and then go to Ellis go that way. Yeah, there you go, right? Is it Ellis? I don't know Anyway, so I'm just looking for a dress if I don't find one I will wear the same one I did wash it this week. So it's ready to go if I need it So we decided against Polo Park. It's a little too busy there. I don't really like that Molly there We came out here to what is this the outlet mall in Tuxedo. It's the newer one and We actually had a impulse Urge to go see a movie So we bought tickets to go see the new Thor movie At the theater here on McGillvray's of VIP No kids This is not a Why doesn't that door open? Well, don't put a door there if you don't want people to come in there I'm gonna got to talk to the engineer. He put too many doors in That'd be the best part about working there. It looks like the main entrance. Well, okay, can we go in there? That's rude. That's why I parked here So we can go in there So we're gonna go to Thorin, my favorite store Just see if they have any dresses and if not other things I'd like to buy that we can't afford These doors work We found our way in Oh, wow, lots of people I've never seen this mall so busy. We always come during the day It's not very busy at all during the day now. They're usually here when it opens Is that the one? Nothing in your size Nothing in my size. Everything starts from 2x We didn't find anything Zero success That's okay. Still got a week and a half till the wedding Oh, is that quick already? Yeah, the tent It's coming up quick. Oh boy Oh, we're coming into the city again tomorrow and Saturday. So two more times this week yet We'll find something Right here. We're at this VIP theater It's uh an adult theater They actually they serve adult drinks and stuff at the theater I don't know if you guys have a theater like this around where you live This was like revolutionary when it came to Winnipeg But the seats are all like very comfy very soft. It's almost like recliners. They they serve you at your seat It's almost like going to a sporting event and nobody's annoying children behind you asking questions or kicking your seat Exactly the best part So this is on McGilvery On the southwest side of Winnipeg You're gonna indulge in some popcorn? Oh, yes, I am. I knew it. That's the whole reason you go to the theater I've got a big screen tv at home I don't need to go to watch a movie in a theater, but there's nothing like theater popcorn I come here for the popcorn These used to be the cheap seats, right? I remember coming here to watch movies when it was like three dollars a movie. They'd uh, they'd play old movies or like movies after uh After they've been released and they're not in like regular theaters anymore than they'd come here Now it's not cheap seats anymore. They've got a lounge So these are the seats here. You see they're in groups of two I'm using that table, but we each have our own little table And they can lean back So That was so good Thor is my favorite Marvel character. He's the funniest. So yeah, it was it was awesome Just as good as the other three. Have you guys seen seen this movie yet? What did you guys think of it? Three thumbs up I'm lifting a toad


Everybody welcome to the last set news are down for short. My name is Rob and today we're gonna go over a lot of different things So let's just jump right in first I have to tell you that this is going to be a different show than what you may be used to as far as The news and the things that are going on we're gonna talk about the news but we've really got to bring everything up to speed and just take a look at Exactly Not what happened everybody's been talking about that so much But pretty much where we're going and why I think this everything that just happened needed to happen to give us Kind of like a reset to see where we're going to go So first thing we're talking about is how good times make weak men, but the cycle favours us I'm just here to tell you that Because of the the title and the thumbnail you might think I'm here for your Hopium supply. I'm not It's not gonna be too great for you and the things that I'm talking about But there is light at the end of the tunnel also, we're gonna take a step back to see the creation of Bitcoin and decentralization and where we go from here regulations payments and decentralization is a must and lastly I'm just gonna talk about how everything is happening just as it should There's gonna be a collapse Rebirth rebuild and just another cycle and we're gonna take a look at history and the last we go over the little Q&A So the first things first is Let's just talk about this The markets themselves. It's pretty amazing to me as I take a look at things that are going on We can see that in traditional markets. It's looking pretty good for them, right? NASDAQ's up. I mean over five days S&P's up for five days and Of course, how are we doing now? We're tanking and with good reason I mean, I think everybody's been talked to death about FTX and things that have happened and and the Bumblings that have been going on it gets kind of that's it over like five days It gets to be a little bit a touch much. We all know it collapsed We all know Sam and the contagion that are going on. We know it's gonna get worse. We know that, right? I hope you know that So I just wanted to point some things out. First of all over seven days Bitcoin Ethereum are roughly lockstep 20% But I want you to pay attention to the to the projects that are even beating Old faithful Bitcoin and Ethereum Binance coin probably for good reason. However, not really decentralized. I'll tell you that XRP, you know 26 24, but check it take this out Cardano and polygon interesting, right? also polka dot And then some other one. I think Uniswap is down there as well probably beats Bitcoin Ethereum over the seven-day run. So just pay attention to some of those just something to look at But again, I don't want to get everybody's hopes up because the bad times are coming And I know for a lot of people it's been here for quite some time And I know that we talk about the rules and we say the things we're supposed to do We just don't do them. It's okay. You made a mistake correct Self-correct move on I just want to share this with you that Amazon is playing the layoff approximately 10,000 people starting the starting this week A total number of layoffs remains fluid, but it stays around 10,000 that represent nearly 3% of Amazon's corporate employees less than 1% of its global workforce Over the 1.5 million and we're going to see a lot of more layoffs coming about I've already seen them in the Real estate sector tech sector and we're going to see more of those happening. So again There's not like the greatest things on the horizon. However There are some good things and you have to remember that everything goes in a cycle and this was a quote That's been going around and it makes a lot of sense Everything just happens again and again again Hard times create strong men Strong men create good times Good times create weak men and weak men create hard times That's what's happening here. That's exactly what's happening again and again again. So what I want to do is I just want to remind everybody that uh, I think I think there's another Recession just around the corner Who knows I could be wrong. Nobody knows for sure. Don't want us a crystal ball However, if cycles just continue like we've talked about here And we talked about the cycles here Things are going to look up later on just not going to be right now Again, like I always talk about four year cycles in 2012. There was a bitcoin halving that we reached an all-time high I have a whopping a thousand dollars 2014 only 15 dip in a reset 16, 17, 18, 19 same thing and just it's going on again And of course, who knows what's gonna happen, but I think 2025 26 can be pretty good So don't get your hopes up already. But what I want to do was Take a step back And see what got us here to all this stuff all this talk about DeFi and smart contracts and NFTs and everything that that that should be it all started here It all started right here. Have you ever read this? Most of you have or some of you have but some of you have not This is the bitcoin white paper and you can find at bitcoin.org and I linked in the description so you can read it It's not long It's really like six pages if you take away for uh, the mathematics at the very end And one week I'm just gonna just take out the big points So everybody knows where we're at where we're going But as I'm going over this stuff I want you to think about a couple of things first of all Does this talk anything about regulation or exchange regulation as I talked about smart contracts For it's just a payment system and I want you to remember this When they're talking about nodes, they're talking about centralized or decentralized So just keep it open mind. So this is what it was. So should not come out Years ago As the financial crisis happened in 1778 he wrote this great paper And he says this is the thing An abstract bitcoin is a purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash Which would allow online payments To be sent directly from one party to another without going through financial institutions So when people are talking about diamond hands and things like that, that's not what bitcoin was created for It was created for a payment system To bypass the middleman So when people are saying you should never sell bitcoin, you should never really do it This is the white paper going and just saying exactly what it is. So I'm tired of this This back and forth like you should hold on to it like it is some like life-saving elixir Commerce on the internet has come to rely almost exclusively on financial institutions Serving as trusted third parties to process electronic payments and it becomes expensive What is needed is an electronic payment system based on cryptographic proof instead of trust Allowing any two willing parties to transact Directly with jither without the need for a trusted third party makes sense, right? When you get to use the bank, you got to use a third person. That's a middle person. You don't want to use that use bitcoin That's all they're talking about just a payment system Proof of work will need to use a proof of work system similar to adam backs cash Rather than newspaper or use net posts to compensate for increasing hardware speed and varying interests and running nodes over time The proof of work difficulty is determined to buy a moving average Targeted as an average number of blocks per hour all they're talking about here is The more times that we get the more hash rate the more harder it is and the more Bitcoin miners come on under the place That's when the difficulty adjusts if they generated too fast meaning the blocks the difficulty increases And that's why we have more and more bitcoin miners. However coming down here. I thought it was interesting reclaiming disk space Once the latest transaction a coin is buried under enough blocks the spend transactions before it can be discarded To save a disk space to facilitate this without breaking the blocks hash Transactions are hash in a miracle tree and you heard cz binance talk about that to make things transparent With only the root including the blocks hash all blocks can then be compacted by stubborn off branch the tree. Okay So Growing down Privacy privacy can still be maintained by breaking the flow of information by keeping public keys anonymous That's why like I can give you my Public key right now. You can send me as much bitcoin as you want to however unless you know that is my address Zero web blah blah blah blah. You'll never know it's me unless I say it's me So there is a there's a bit of privacy Which is what it was all built for The public can see that someone is sending an amount of someone else without information liking the transaction to any one Meaning again, you'll never know unless it is put out there and said. Oh, that's robbs Bitcoin address as an additional file firewall a new key pair should be used for each transaction to keep them from being linked to a Comowner, that's why you'll see in I think it's Coinbase as well They every time that you use a Bitcoin transaction uses a new Bitcoin address Then go through some math and here's the conclusion It's incomplete without a way to prevent double spending That's the problem to solve this we proposed a peer-to-peer network using proof of work to record a public history of transactions I quickly become computationally impractical for an and for an attack or a change of honest nodes control a majority of CPU power Nodes do not need to be identified. They can leave and rejoin the network at will Accepting the proof of work chain is proof of what happened while they were gone They vote with their CPU power that is proof of work moving forward if you think about it And that's all that's that's the whole white paper right there if you want to read it a link in the description You can read the read the whole thing yourself When you think about projects where they can tell the node operators what to do That is not decentralized because they can leave and go as they seem as they deem fit Now have we talked about all the regulation and things like that. There's nothing here that talks about exchange regulation So as I've been talking about this forever What needs regulation and crypto the crypto projects will no one agrees me there. This is the poll that we put out We have 10,000 votes here and almost 8,000 votes the other one crypto exchanges and They say everything is regulation I don't agree that defying regulation whatever is regulation needed in crypto. Yes clarity is needed. What's a commodity? What's the security? What's a currency and that's the majority of you right there? So when I talk about this stuff about regulation, what would you rather and people will say well Robbie understand once they regulate It's gonna be awful and we and we can't have this happen because then they're gonna go for the wallets And they're gonna go for everything else and before you know, we're not gonna have crypto right We're not gonna have crypto as it's as it is right now. Here's the thing. What's the option is?  We have to bring this information to them because if not We get stuff like this U.S. Lawmaker blames billionaire crypto bros for delayed legislation. This is some guy U.S. Congressman Brad Sherman. He's been a crypto a Person who goes against crypto will say as far as regulation He says this to date efforts by billionaire crypto bros Sam to determine meaningful legislation by flooding Washington with millions of dollars in campaign contributions and Lobbying spending have so far been effective. So really what it is who do you want? Preaching the narrative. Do you want us in the blockchain committee and the people giving their input? Or do you think it would have been better if we just would have buried or better I are buried our heads in the sand and not set a word and it's like guys like this go. This is what's happening That's why it collapsed. That's why we got to regulate and that's why we get to destroy it I'm just telling you right now This is where we need to go and this is where you got to be strong and stand up and go This is what I believe in I truly believe this is where we have to have to make things move So We know where we came from. We just read the Bitcoin white paper. We know about decentralization The thing that I see is this and I've said this multiple times on multiple shows I always said it things would collapse and things would go down I never thought that we were at that breaking point or we were at The bottom in June and a lot of people did I didn't think it actually happened I thought we had to go through a lot more pain But I did say this when things start to collapse. It's gonna be just like everything else Things are gonna collapse The cream rise at the top the people that Were not swimming naked as it were are going to have the funds to either bail out or to absorb All the exchanges all the projects all the developers and everything else that happens behind the scenes Which would happen with FTX and that's happening right now.  This is how things have to play out Binance US and curve in a binding an abiding war for BlockFi credit card customers Why are they doing that because they have the funds they didn't over extend they didn't do goofy stuff that we know of yet We'll see Binance us is among the bidders of the BlockFi credit card program is associated customers curve is also in the running with its And they're looking for these eighty seven thousand five hundred BlockFi accounts Also Coinbase is also involved BlockFi itself is believe they have a hole in the balance sheet Approximately 800 million and it's not understood to be heavily involved in the negotiation to purchase its heart card assets a deal is expected within 72 hours on top of that CZ comes out and I would like to you to note something that this is kind of concerning to me if you're looking for like anti-trust laws and monopolies you see Binance Everywhere and who knows what'll happen. I'm not saying that they're gonna absorb everything. I'm just saying When things start to become a monopoly you start to get a little more legislation CZ comes out and says to reduce further cascading negative effects of FTX Binance is forming an industry recovery fund To help projects who are otherwise strong, but in an liquidity crisis more details to come If you think you're one of them reach out to us and again Just like I said these projects will start to collapse the people that have the money that have the funds and have the resources They will pick them up and they will absorb what they think is actually good And the other ones are just gonna fall the wayside and they get what? They get eliminated developers need someplace to go those developers work on the big projects And that's what it is and then before I move on to a little bit of a history. I will just say this so Let me go back here. It is simple the rules that we talk about Don't invest more you can afford to lose everything's a scam and tell people otherwise don't leave anything on exchanges It still astounds me how that works out don't use leverage because that's the we're in an over leveraged market didn't work too Well for FTX if you're doing 1500 X that's something wrong and take profits along the way. It's very simple So We know these things And we should know we should do these things if you haven't problems with the with the ledger go to Dan teaches crypto.com It's a hundred percent free. I show you how to do it in five easy videos We know we should do these things, but we get sidetracked But the great thing now is that everything starts the day I feel like because there's a lot of difference How should I say this rightly? voices Not there myself included When you screw up you got to raise your hands that I screwed up and I would say things like well It's kind of hard to do self-custody and really is a is a pain and maybe we can just use these centralized places and I was wrong obviously and Of course four months ago when Celsius collapsed That video and kind of figured it out there pretty well Then of course Voyager collapsed. We that could have pretty much cemented it and thank God We got to listen and now FTX collapses and here we all know how to get things off Moving forward. Is there anybody in this space who doesn't know that? So moving forward You're going to still hear these things from me. You're going to still hear these things from James and Ben and crown and BitBoy and crypto zombie and all the people that are the voices per se Barbara own network We're going to be harping on this for everybody If this max pain didn't happen I don't think that we really would be harping on it to really get to the crux of what Crypto actually is and should be That's just my two cents. And that's just the thing that is moving forward and to give you a little bit of Depth of history It's amazing how things play out, right? I talk about these these four year cycles and everyone's like, yeah, yeah Yeah, we hear you. We hear you. I just want to bring some to your attention This is a Bitcoin chart from December 2017 all the way to the present and you see this little cliff right here It is a little line See the the price of Bitcoin 6,300 6,300 and all of a sudden it just drops off the 3,800 just for price-wise I'm gonna blow that up real quick Again, here it is again You see the dates on this 12th of November 2018 And wasn't 2017 the all-time high Remember this date 12th of November 20 2018 So we went all-time high Then to a dip and we just dropped off the cliff And it lasted for quite some time So What was the date again? I'm sorry 13th November 2018 that was the the year right after the all-time high When was our last all-time high in 2021 right we're in 2022 if I'm let me do some math. Yeah, that's right We're in 2022 13th November Where do we drop off the cliff? Everything was going pretty good here 30,000 Little cliff here, and then we're just we're just moving sideways for a while. Weren't we then all of a sudden here Okay, so I was off by a week 7th November 2022 and this is when everybody back here Said that's it. We've bottomed We've bottomed right here We didn't bottom we dropped another 50% The same things just going on again So I just find it very odd that these things tend to repeat themselves just like This repeats itself and just like this repeats itself and that's it for today Oh, also as a friendly reminder taxes are due that's they're gonna be due pretty soon coming up and I've teamed up with coin ledger And I trust I'm gonna be doing a town hall Meeting with them and I'll be the moderator and they're gonna have a cpa there So if you've got questions like probably the one a big question would be like hey How does this work on my taxes if the exchange? Has all my crypto do I get a massive massive break in my taxes? I'll answer those questions for with the cpa when they're there anyhow I'll let you know when that comes out. We're gonna record it tomorrow and we'll go from there But that's it for today. So look if you like today's video Let me phrase that If you're here and you learn something give me a thumbs up. Some of you didn't like that video. I'm sure it's not Easy to digest the negative not the negative you but the reality of the situation But it's okay because we're gonna be all right I'll share subscribing. Let's talk about our time sensitive and that's it for today So look if you've got some questions I've got some answers and we'll do a little q&a. So if you gotta take off take off get out of here I appreciate you stopping by and hanging out with me for 20 minutes. That's awesome Now let's get into the q&a and I'll answer all your burning questions the best of my abilities and we'll go from there Everybody. Thank you so much
