important. Let me see here. See, because I don't see anything moving. Huh? I was wrong. All right, let's get into it, shall we? So let's see here. I don't need that. A little glitzy today. Apologize. Let's take a look at this. Let's blow this up. So today, actually pretty good day. That's the 25th of January, and we had a little bit of a rebound. And before everybody celebrates, like, ah, the bull runs back on. This is awesome. That's not how it works. It's going to be rocky for a while, so we have to just pick our spots. But hey, take the small wins for what they are, right? So Bitcoin are a pretty good bounce. Some may call it a dead cap bounce. You're going to hear that all day today. You're going to hear people call for Bitcoin going to 20k. You're going to hear people calling for Bitcoin going to 50k. And I can't tell you what it is because I don't have a crystal ball and nobody else does either. And for everybody who says, well, I called this time and I called it at that time. Yeah, they probably did call a couple times, but are they consistently right 100% of the time? No. And if you know somebody who's 100% of the time, introduce me because I'd love to have them on the show. But so far, I haven't found anybody who has perfection. So Bitcoin, last 24 hours, up 8.5%. That's pretty good. And over the last couple of days, I've been worried that it might actually go down a little farther. So I didn't buy this dip until this morning. I think I hit it around when Bitcoin was rising up around 3% or 4% or 5% increase. And I was like, okay, this is a pretty good time to buy just a little bit and go from there. I am not good at timing the bottoms and I'm not good at selling at the absolute tops. And that's how I made all my money because that just makes sense to me. So Bitcoin is up 8.5%. Ethereum up 9.6%. But again, over seven days, down almost 25%. Cardano, 3.8%. Pretty good. 3.8%. XRP, 5.7%. Solana, 8.5%. But again, look at these numbers are pretty brutal sell-offs. 34% for Solana, 30% for Polkadot, 26% for Avalanche. But again, focus on the good stuff. 9.2%, 12.58%, 13%, 23% for Phantom. So pretty good day all in all. The real question though is where are we going? Where are we going and what is happening? And to take a look at that, I don't seem to be able to like to say this, but I still believe it to be true. Crypto and traditional market are pretty much correlated. So what I want to see is it is roughly 10.50 here in Puerto Rico. We're on Atlantic center times. That means that is 9.50 Eastern times. Let's see if we can get an update. Yeah, that's it right there. Oh, it updates automatically. Pretty cool. Didn't know it did that. I thought I had to refresh. Now they can't be right. Let me update this. Aha, knew it. So S&P 500, let's take a look over five days. So today, we are at Tuesday, and it's already opened up a little bit below Nasdaq. But remember, we had a pretty good uptick. So once market goes up a little bit, so does crypto. Let's see if Nasdaq falls that same thing. So Nasdaq, down again today, take a look over five days, had a nice little bump at the end of yesterday, and then we opened up slightly smaller or smartly less revenue. So that's what we have for the traditional market. So what I want to talk to you about, you guys, is the four year plan. The four year plan and how I did things. I know like if you're just getting in, or you've been in since 2021, hey, congratulations. You picked depending on what month could have been awful, could have been great. And I'm just here to tell you that it doesn't really matter in the long run. And I'm just going to go over just real quick some things that I've done to help me out. And these are the things that sometimes even I forget, because I've been in the market for quite some time. So in 2017, when I got in, I blow this out. Burp. Let me just have you see what I saw. This is what I saw in 2017. I got in somewhere around here, somewhere around there. Let me blow this up so you can see it. And most of you know my story. So it's not anything, I was buying revelations, revelations, revelations. So I got in around here, and I went up and I thought I was a genius. And I put a dump, a ton of money. I didn't dollar cost average. I didn't know what dollar cost average was. And before you know it, I was up here. I was buying around right here because everybody told me I was going to go up to the moon. Here's the thing. I didn't just buy Bitcoin. I also bought Ethereum. I also bought Funfair. I also bought XRP. I also bought Chainlink. I also bought Energy Token. I also bought Dragon Chain. And I can tell you probably 30 more different cryptos that some were great and some were just awful. And I will tell you that because of what happened next, which was this little action right here where everything dropped down to the floor, it wasn't, Bitcoin actually did pretty good. This is Bitcoin itself. Bitcoin actually, you know, it lost a good amount of its value. But I didn't really put too much, I put enough into Bitcoin, but most of those went alts because that's what was going off so great. And I will tell you that I lost about 85 to 90% of the value of my portfolio right there. So if you're here from 2021, I feel you because if you hit those points and you went all the way down, same thing happened to me. So here's the thing. You have a decision and we talked about this before. And the decision for me was this, which was, I can get out now and I can just say face and go, ah, well, I lost. Because it's pretty tough when you go from, you're up six figures and then all of a sudden now you're down to roughly four figures sound familiar. And if you think yourself, well, yeah, that's what it is. Then you have to tell your significant other, whoever that is. I didn't tell my wife, Hey, didn't work out and we're down right now. So you have a choice. 2021, 2017, it doesn't matter. 2013, it doesn't matter. It's all the same thing. There's so much volatility going up and down, up and down. So when you think to yourself, man, I'm the only, this only happened to me. You're incorrect. This has happened to them. A lot of us that are into the crypto space. There's a lot of people that have been here for quite some time. So it's harder for them to remember, but I try to remember through these videos what it was like back then. There's a reason why I am like this, not freaking out and screaming in my microphone, because I've already been there and I've already gone through these things. And I know that it's time seems to heal all wounds. And it actually does some pretty big wonders for your portfolio as well. So this is not, I can never tell you what to do. This is not investments advice. This is just investment opinion. But that's what happened. And when I want to take a look is the ones that have proven themselves. So I want you just to notice this. So Bitcoin, let's max out. Bitcoin's been around since the beginning. This one only goes back 2013, but it's already 2009. And you can see that, okay, well, it hit here. And I went sideways, and went up and down, up and down. And it'll correct itself again, like it's doing right now, but it'll probably go up because it has time on its side. So it's not as risky as, say, getting into a crypto market cap that's ranked 1,240. You can make a lot of money, but you can lose it pretty fast. Also, Ethereum. Let's take a look at Ethereum. Let's just max this out and see where we're at. Kind of the same thing, right? Kind of the same thing. And over here, oh, man, $1.25 in 2015.  So, okay, well, let's take a look at some other stuff. Those are pretty good. Will they continue? I can't tell you they're going to continue like that. I can just tell you that the history shows a pretty good correlation. Now, let's go down. Let's take a look at Cardano. Let's see how Cardano had done over max amounts. So, actually, this was a tough one for me to hold, but I did because I bought around, well, around $0.20, $0.54. And then it crashed. I've been dollar-cost averaging for all this time, all this time, all this time. And look at where we are now. So, there is that part.  I will tell you right now, XRP would be great if it wasn't for the SEC. I'll get into that in a second. So, XRP, since 2013, has been around. And it's gone up over here and down. Can it do again? Sure. It can do it again. It just depends on what's the outcome of the SEC. And that's a wild card. But let's take a look at some of these that don't have a lot of history, even though how great they are. And we take a look at like TPS and things like that. Solana. Solana is, it could be great, but it doesn't have a lot of history. And it's got history back here. I mean, remember, this is only 2020, April. And it kind of did this and kind of came down. So, does it have the history to say that it can meet all the challenges? Depending on who you ask. But for me, I think as time moves forward, I'm going to try to, I like Layer 1 solutions, but I won't be putting a ton of money into just anyone that I can see. Also, let's take a look at Polkadot. Polkadot, what's the max time frame here? And of course, it'll go before this because of different reporting requirements. But again, it's only been since August 2020. And this is how early we are. Now I want to take you back just a little bit more. And we can go down the line. Also, look at Chainlink. Chainlink, I think, is a great one.  But I think every chain needs it. Every chain, well, if you want to do any kind of like data that you have to pull like real-world data off from like real-world sources into the blockchain, you need Chainlink. I just don't understand. It's just one of those things that just goes down and doesn't really, it kind of like moves in the bear market. So what I want to talk to you real quick now about is this. So the four-year plan, I'll just put it in a nutshell. Just like how I did in 2017, again, I can't tell you what to do. But if you got in 2021, I understand that you wanted to get rich overnight. I get it. Everybody wants to do that. It just makes sense, right? But there's still all those principles. And one of those principles, it was a pretty great video. It was by Simon Dixon. And he was from unbank, unbank yourself. And he talks about the ABCs, which is accumulate, build, and cleanse. So what I want to talk to you about is accumulate. But the big thing is, well, accumulate what? Because all those examples, it sounds good, but I want to give you one more, one more little lesson, which is called a dash of salt. And when I talk about a dash of salt, what I want to show you and not to pick on any one chain or whatnot, but for dash, if we take a look at dash over the last four years or so, actually, let me let me back up over seven days, not too good, right? 24 hours. Now we're talking. All right, 14 days, 30 days, 90 days, 180 days, which is like a lot. But let me max out here. You don't, if you pick a project, and I don't really, I haven't really done a deep dive in a dash, but I can just tell you that when sometimes good projects just don't work out, I don't know the fundamentals here, but I can just tell you like, if you were buying here, and you still wrote it out for four years, and you were dollar-cost averaging, dollar-cost averaging, you might make up a little bit, but not too much.   This is 180 bucks four years ago. So you might make yourself up around here if you keep dollar-cost averaging and selling at the right times, but sometimes just doesn't work out. Again, if you own dash, it's probably great. I have no idea really about it, but you got to be careful about the one that you pick, and sometimes it's better to pick a safer bet. Now let's take a look at Salt. Salt was another one that I actually invested into, and Salt is ranked 1200 and something, blah, blah, blah. But it was in the top 50 during the 2017, at least in the top 100. I can tell you that. So taking a look at the seven-day, looks okay. All right, not too bad. 14-day, 30-day, 180-day, but I want you to just look at this. Here's the max. Here's the max. So if you think that you can dollar-cost average and it'll make itself okay, it doesn't always work out like that. That's why it's so critical that you pick projects that have a pretty proven history and are good. I will show you though, like, look at this. This is brutal, 13, 15 bucks, and it's been eight cents forever. Now, maybe Salt will come back. I have no idea. But I will tell you one thing. Salt, still running, still waiting for a credit card, and still has crypto-backed loans. You want to go down that route? That's fine. But the reason why they're having a hard time is the SEC charged them on September 30, 2020. They settled against Salt Blockchain for conducting an unregistered ICO of digital tokens. Again, another security issue. So the question then is, why does Salt fall down so heavy as opposed to XRP, which is still on the top 10? And the answer is community. Community will keep a lot of things afloat. Unfortunately, Salt didn't have that, and that's where we go. So if we're talking about things that just don't work out sometimes, remember that term, a dash of Salt. So not to ran anybody's parade, but that's why I bring up some of these blue chippers. That's why I talk about Bitcoin and Ethereum. That's why I talk about Chainlink and some of these Layer 1 solutions. So it's up to you to decide which ones those are, and I can just tell you which ones that I get into. Like today, when I bought the dip, you know what I bought? Bitcoin. And also, I also bought Algorand. I think that's going to be a pretty great play. I had to buy a little bit of Ethereum, I just had to. And then a little bit of Luna and Chainlink. So I bought a little bit on the dip depends where that will go. But I think it's in the long run, it'll work out okay. So that's just one I want to bring to your attention. So that was, we were talking about Simon Dixon's video, the ABCs accumulate, build, and then cleanse. So let's get into the build part. And I want to talk to you about, again, planting seeds. And we're going to do just take a look at some things as far as planting seeds about what could be bigger in the future. And again, it's very, it gets more risky as you get outside these blue chips. But I think if you plant some seeds into some small ones, they can do pretty well. So planting seeds, this is the one that I think could do pretty well. This was World Mobile Token. And again, you, I always look at projects for the UTT. What's the utility? What does it do? Well, they have actually a working product right now for telecommunications all the way through Africa. They have five different setups in Tanzania and Nigeria, I believe. And they've already have maxed out all their nodes, supposed to be a thousand nodes. And they hit that in like a couple of weeks. So if you want to plant seeds, I did this deep dive video eight months ago, where I liked the project, I took a look at it, and I thought this could be pretty good. And I had on Mickey Watkins, and he came on eight months ago, and I've been talking about him ever since. Will this be one that could, you know, be a blue chipper? I don't know. But I can just tell you that for me, the plan, the four-year plan, again, getting back to that is, whatever I buy, I'm thinking about this four-year elongated project that I want to do. I want to get into crypto on a dollar-cost average in, then when it goes up and people, there's like a mania going on and people think it'll never drop, that's when I'll probably dollar-cost average out. I will take some profits. I don't care if people talk to me about, Rob, you got to have diamond hands. That doesn't matter. What do you want to be? Do you want to be the richest corpse in the cemetery who has the most Bitcoin and you're dead? Or do you want to actually use it for things that you can actually, you know, enjoy your life? So dollar-cost average in, dollar-cost average out for the majority. Also have some things where I can plant some seeds. And if you want to learn more about why I think world mobile tokens are going to do pretty well, I'll link the video at the end. Also, they're going to have an AMA tonight. You can ask them any question you want to. It's going to be over on their YouTube channel, which is that one right there. So that is the planting seeds part for your plan, planting seeds. And now I just want to give you a quick refresher about what's going on as far as the new stuff. So the new stuff, this is from Blockworks and they came out and said that Charles Schwab is now considering launching a crypto spot ETF. I can't 100% verify that. They said it's considering launching crypto. But I wanted to take you down memory lane real quick and show you exactly what's going on so you can be a little bit more, put things in context about where we're at. This was a great thread by Dreadbonga, Dreadbonga. And he pretty much lays out a ton of different aspects about why everything's going so well in this space. Let me refresh this because it's for some reason frozen. So he talks about price adoption and things like that. First thing he talks about is he's talking about December. And then he says, look, Japan's Minister of Economic Security says implementing a CBDC is a matter of national security. Let me blow it up over here. This is better. And I want you to remember this. Just not too long ago, the CEO of Twitter and Square changed their name to Block. And why? Because this multi-billion, I don't think it's a trillion dollar company, multi-billion dollar company is going heavy into blockchain. We know that Jack's a big supporter of Bitcoin. Also, don't forget that Facebook, one of the five of the Fang stocks rebranded their entire brand from Facebook into meta for the metaverse and blockchain because they think they know where things are going. The Korean stock exchange, this is crazy, calls some more legislation. And the reason is because since virtual assets become major investment assets, it's time to prepare an institutional framework. Toronto Stock Exchange listed the Fidelity Advantage Bitcoin ETF and mutual funds, Adidas, and there's the NFT space with board API Clouds and everything else. And then also, I want to show you this, VCs and hedge funds and how much they're actually betting. Look at this chart right here. These are all the different companies and the different institutions and hedge funds that are getting into it. Paradigm, 2.5 billion, Pantera 600 million, Crypto 20 years, 700 million deal to rename Staples Center. Consensus 200 million. What else? Pokemon Go raises 300 million for a 9 billion valuation to build the metaverse. Paradigm co-founder joins Board of Stripe. What else do we have? Starkware raises 50 million for 2 billion valuation. I don't wish that one. That's a lot more confusing. And then, oh yeah, major video games getting into the NFTs part, which we had the first one being Ubisoft. There was a backlash, but I think it's going to be big. And then this was actually said by the Australian Federal Treasurer. The goal is to make Australia the world leader in crypto. Oh yeah, Visa launches crypto consultation services to help banks. NYDig came out and said, hey, we're going to give 300 different banks, as far as the small to medium-sized banks, to give crypto or to crypto to be traded by their customers. Elon Musk does his thing. This is not the nature of CC. Disney announced plans for a metaverse after their patents were approved. Adidas also the same thing. What's the good stuff? Oh yeah, this was interesting. In December, Sotheby's reported over 100 million NFT sales. So again, if you don't, we talked about NFTs and metaverse, you can get into those specific plays or you're just going to layer one solutions. The Ethereum's, the Avalanche, the Solana's, the Cardano's, the things like that because things are going to be built on those. Luna, stuff like that, right? Well, Luna is more of a different play. Let's see. Oh yeah, some of the biggest hedge funds.  Paul Tudor Jones starts to invest into it. Stanley Druckenmiller and also a member, Bill Miller, one of the Wall Street legends, he gets into it. And then it goes on forever about what's actually going on here. So it was just like a little reminder, a little refresher of what is going on. And that, hopefully, will put somebody's fears at ease about where we're at because you have to understand you're going to hear a lot of negative stories. As the market goes up, everything's great. And you hear nothing in the news, MSNBC and CNBC about how crypto is doing so fantastic. Now as it drops, like it always drops, you're going to hear negative stories and you start to doubt. I'm like, is this the right play? Should I be here? Should I do this? I'm here to tell you I had the same thing, the same problems. I just took it over four years, just go, well, I think, because I was around when the internet came about. When the internet came about, people didn't believe it was going to last either. We didn't. We thought it was going to be just a simple place for hucksters and scammers to hide and steal all our debit cards because we never would actually use our debit or credit cards online because that's where you went to get all your money taken. Doesn't that sound like crypto today? And that's what we have. So hopefully, that helps out. And then lastly, we'll finish up. I just want to tell you that there is going to be a meetup for here in Puerto Rico. It's over at the smokehouse, Caribbean smokehouse. And I'll retweet this now. It's tomorrow from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and there's going to be a nice blues band playing so you can cry about your portfolios. Let me retweet this just to make sure everybody sees it again. So follow me on news asset for Twitter and you can check that out. Also, if you are new and looking for a place to actually buy crypto, get into crypto, there is a link in the description. It looks just like this. And what it is is it's my exchange and wallet feeds. And you can check that out. This is all the things that I have recommended and actually use. Well, most of them. So Voyager and Celsius I use totally. Kucoin rarely. Kraken rarely. SwiftX, I don't use them there in Australia, but I like how they give you their own personalized account rep to actually walk into the whole process. And there's a new one that I added called Stablehouse. Stablehouse, it's another brokerage. It looks to be pretty good. It looks to be up and whatnot. But the problem is it's not available in U.S. or Canada at the moment. So use it at your leisure. I will say this, it looks interesting because down here, two things. First of all, it's based on Bermuda, regulated by the Bermuda Monetary Authority. All right, but it does have pretty good rates. Binance coin, 12%, Gemitella 12%, and USD 12 and Paxos 12 and 12. Pretty good protection. They stand up with Fireblocks. These are hardware isolated MPC wallets. They keep your data secure, company on Fido. They have pretty good robust security because they make it standard for 2FA and email verification. So you can check those out, but just so you know, not available in U.S. and Canada and Afghanistan, Albanian, all those crunches. So check it out. I have looked into it. I can't even use it because I'm not outside, but from what I understand, people seem to like it. It's very, as they say, stable. And that is it. So look, that's all we have today. Let's get out of here and finish up with a little Q&A. I went a little bit longer than I wanted to. Sorry, but that's all we have. All right, let's do banners. Ah, look at all these bashing of the other YouTubers. Look, man, the other YouTubers, I'll just say this, every other YouTuber that's out there, they have their place for what they do. Some are hype. Some are there to get you in. And that's okay. It's like, it's like when you're walking down Bourbon Street, right?  It's the greatest of all time. You get in there and like, this isn't that great, but it's not a bad place. So like some YouTubers, they're hype and it's okay, but they're designed to get you into the crypto space so you can find, you know, better places or not better places, places that just give you a little bit more balance and will tell you that, hey, we're in a bear market. Hint, we are. Hey, things don't always go up and things go down and that's okay. And hey, it's going to take a long time for your plan to get into something. I know it sucks, but it is the reality. So that's how it is. Thanks. Vincent Marks has it right. Do your own research, I know. I try to keep it real, but it is tough. I mean, I got to tell you, it's not actually, no, it's not that tough. It's actually pretty damn easy to keep it real. All you got to do is just say, here's what the market's doing and here's where I think we're going. And this is based on some data or some external news and information that we find and we take a look at on-chain data. We take a look at the UTT, utility tokenomics and team and just go from there. It's not rocket science. The only thing that I will say is this, is that no one has a crystal ball and I know people will say, I know where things are going. They may know where things are going in the next couple hours or so, but I don't see how someone could say, yeah, in the next year, this is where things, next six months, this is where we're going. Next month, this is where we're going. I don't see it. I can tell you where, right, I think things are going in the next five years, but even I'm not Nostradamus, just how it is. Holding very strong. How fitting, exactly, Eric. When I was talking to the manager, I go, hey, do you guys have a band? He goes, yeah, they're playing blues on Wednesday.  All right, South Korea holding strong. Very ground thinking. My price predictions are awful. And I will own up to those. I call for Bitcoin 150K. That did not happen. I call for a theorem of 10K. That did not happen. I did call for a card on three bucks. That did happen in theta. I think I said 10 and I went to 15, but I got a bunch of other things wrong. So it doesn't matter. Like I said, like I said, all the people that are out there, they will always throw in your face of the things that they got, right? But really, they say when they, when they got things wrong and nobody gets it all right. Kidding me, either. Mind. Thanks, man. I think really you owe it to yourself because you did a lot of research. I'm, I know I'm not the only one that you watch. I know you don't read all the stuff over at Dan teaches crypto. You probably go to the websites and do your own research and do your due diligence. That's the most important thing. Not what I say. What's up with Sunday swap? It's a, that's question one. What's up with Sunday swap? Sunday swap is going through congestion. And we even talked about this last week. Matter of fact, actually a week and a half ago, Sunday swap put out a medium post and said, hey, just so you know, just by our, on our test net, we saw a lot of degradation of our decks when people were using it to trade during the test net. So because of the excitement in the first couple of days and week, we're going to cease a lot of congestion and a lot of slowdown. And just so you know that things are going to take, and they even said this in their meeting posts, days to process. So that's what's going on. Can they fix it? Let's hope so because the whole world's watching. And I sure hope so because I like Cardano, but it is what it is. And you know what? I got to tell you guys one thing about Cardano. This was really good. So me and James were having a great conversation about Cardano. I know everybody like is all on James because he just loves Ceylon and hates or is displeased with the outcome of Cardano. He doesn't hate Cardano. And we had a great conversation. He said, he asked about Haskell language. And I go, why don't I know anything about it? I know I got a friend here in Puerto Rico named Lucas, and Lucas is a developer. And he says it's a very hard language to use. And then Ben, from in the crypto adversity, I guess it's difficult. But James said, from what I understand from my, the people I know in development, they said Haskell, it's very hard to use, but it's solid and unbreakable when you use it in the right way. So hopefully they can make it the right way. And I was like, see, these are the things that people don't hear about. James doesn't hate Cardano. He wants it. He'd like it to work, I think. And when he said that, I'm like, there you go. So there. So there. It's a lot different when you actually talk to people and just get some, you know, 120 characters on Twitter, whatever it is, a little different. Thanks, man. That's nice. What's my opinion on the whole metaverse? I could be wrong, but this is just my opinion, financial opinion, not financial advice. I see the metaverse and the land plays the right metaverses as huge because this is going to take a long, this might take a long, I'm going to try to condense this as best I can. So, you know, everybody on MSNBC, CNBC and the different mainstream media will talk about how awful Bitcoin is because they say, you just created another Bitcoin. Well, no, you can't because you can't create the same hash rate power and the proof of work and the history that Bitcoin has. I mean, you can, you can create the whole, the fungibility aspects, the decentralized aspects and, you know, how money works and how Bitcoin works. You can, you can duplicate that, but there's some things that you just cannot and the network effect is one of those. So, when we're talking here on the metaverse, the thing is people will say, well, why do you get into metaverse land? Because you can just duplicate that. You can just make another metaverse and they can all be land. That's true and that's why it's so important to pick the right projects like we just talked about. Remember, dash assault. So, when I take a look at projects, I'm trying to get my hands on, well, what's the UTT? What's the utility here in the metaverse? What are they doing? What are the tokenomics for the tokens that are using and the team that's actually building it? What are they going to be for? So, that's why I do like the sandbox and I do like decentralized land. There are the two front words. I do like cornucopia built on Cordano. I do like some other ones. Like, I think there's one built in Milford, Solana and on down the line. Everdome was a long play. So, I believe that land will be a great asset to own just like regular land that we own for real estate. That's why me and my wife own different places for short-term rentals like I was talking about. But also the metaverse play, I think that's why it could be big. And I think we're going to do a lot more than what we realize right now. Okay. Who is the tough question? Rob, as you're DCing out and taking profits, what percentage do you allocate towards real estate and what percentage were used to re-enter the different crypto opportunities? Let me show you a thing. Let me bring this up. I'll leave the question up there so everybody can see that. I just need to find this image. There we go. Make sure this is right before I put it up there. Yeah, this is good. So, hope this helps. Here's what we got. Share my screen. Winda. Ah, didn't do it right. Share my screen one more time. There. Ish. Okay. Here's my percentages. I got to take your question now. So, the question is, if you're DCing out and taking profits, what percentage would you allocate towards real estate and for different crypto opportunities? Let me hide. So, now you know it. Let me get this banner out of here so you can see it. There. Did it. So, this is how I allocate. And I know some people will say, well, you know, you shouldn't diversify because you just go all in one sector. You can. You can do that. But I am a little more cautious. I just try to be safe. So, like for me, getting out, DCing out, I'm going to put 5% in cash, which I did. And the reason why I did that is because you got to still use cash. I used cash for, I mean, I had to put a down payment on this for this house. And if you haven't watched that video, it's like the one we did two weeks ago, how we purchased the house 100%. And then I want to put 25% into stablecoins.  I mean, 12%, 30% on stablecoins just for hanging. Get about it. 5% of them put this thing called Masterworks. What's Masterworks? Masterworks, you can find the link in the description. Again, it is this. It's owning fractionalized shares of fine art pieces. Right now, I own a Basquiat and a Banksy. I own a bank, a basket and a Banksy. Personally, do I own all of them? No, there's fractionalized shares. And what I like about, what I really like about Masterworks specifically is that when the market goes up or the market goes down, it doesn't affect the crazy multi-multi-millionaires and billionaires because they don't care, because they want art pieces like this. It is one of the true uncorrelated assets. And there's different data and things like that. I did a video about it. There's a link in the description. And I did a deep dive and you can skip that wait list right there just by going into it. So I've got again, two pieces. That is Masterworks in a nutshell. And then also I'm going to put 15% in land, 20% into real estate because right now it's not a great time to put into real estate. Honestly, land isn't bad, but real estate is super, super, super duper high. So in all honesty, we just try to look for the best deals that we can. But here's the thing. Real estate, you got places where you live and you got places that are investment properties. Investment properties are great. You know why? It's because if people can't get into homes or they can't buy it because there's no homes available. Well, guess what? They got a rent. And if they got a rent, they got to stay somewhere unless you're homeless.  It does. Funny story. When I was a kid, we were homeless for a little bit, matter of fact. And it's pretty awful. So just so you know that people got to stay somewhere. And that's why I like real estate or we like real estate. Just right now is not the greatest time. But I will tell you this, if you can hold on for a bit, when Jerome Powell starts raising rates, which I think he is, I don't know how much it's going to be, it's going to put a damper on the housing market and you're going to see market the prices go down depends on how much he brings up just depends 10% on put into my Amazon business. I still have Amazon third tier shippers or we do FBA fulfilled by Amazon. All I do is I just go to distributors and ask them like, Hey, do you have X amount of these? We have X amount of these. How much are you selling for? I'm selling them for 10 bucks. Okay, great. Given to me for eight. And I'll buy 10,000 of those or 5,000 whatever is. And then I ship them to Amazon. That's the whole Amazon business pretty simple. And then also 15% in the staking, which I need to do a little bit better job. I must admit. And lastly, I trust capital. That's for the crypto IRA. You know how Peter Teal became or had a got was it $10 billion or $5 billion? I forgot. But he got around $5 billion or $10 billion tax free by putting all the shares of PayPal into his IRA. And when he turns 60, 59 and a half, he'll be able to take those out tax free. And that's why I have I trust capital, which is a crypto IRA, because I put all my not all but up to $7,000 worth of crypto per year into the crypto IRA. And it's 59 and a half, I can take it out and not pay taxes. So if Bitcoin does go to million, hey, I'm looking pretty good. No taxes on that living my kids and grandkids and stuff like that. So that's what we got. Now, as far as like dollar cost averaging out, it just depends. And for me, like I had, there's a link in the description. Geez, I keep saying, but there is, it's called my exit strategies. And all my exit strategies are kind of based on like where I think things are going. And I try to sell off and dollar cost average out like my dollar cost average for Bitcoin was at 60,000, then 80,000, then 100,000. Well, I didn't hit the 80 or the 100, but I did cash out 20% at 60 K.  I'm like, maybe, but I've been around and I know that doesn't always work like that. So I just do those types of things. Now, you can hold on to your Bitcoin, you can take loans and everything else. But right now, if you take a loan specifically, and I can tell you from experience, you're gonna get margin called as they go down. And I actually already happened to me with Celsius. So if you do a loan, just so you know, if you don't collateralize that loan appropriately, you will get a margin call. Maybe you don't collateralize, they will liquidate you. So I had to collateralize more, just how it is. Ah, that was a long answer. That was a long answer, folks. Sorry.  Trust me, I know. Man, you know what sucked? It sucked when I had to, I went to life and go, hey, I thought this is February 2018. I thought it was going to turn around because everybody was telling me that the stupid, there's going to be a Chinese new year, and things are going to go back up because they're selling off right now. And then there was some different terminal going on. But I think it's going to go back. And it didn't. And I was like, it's top to go and say, I made a mistake, but I'll fix it. And that's how you fix it. That's how I fixed it. You can do whatever you want to. I just said, I'm going to come, I'm going to keep going into it because over time, time in the market is more important than time in the market. All right. Nice farming. Good for you, man. I've lived 10 years. It's just the lighting. Sometimes I look really old, but this today must be good lighting. That's all I can tell you. Also, it helps that I'm in Puerto Rico is nice and sunny. So get a little tan. What kinds you do you see in an Algorand? Algorand, Bitcoin, Ethereum, a little bit of Luna, Chainlink. Like I said, I'm trying to go more safer because as you get into this time, you realize it's nice to make a ton of money, but it's even nicer. It's not about how much you make. It's how much you keep. So sometimes it's just better just to be a little bit safer. Again, here's what's going to happen. I will tell you exactly what, how it's going to work. And I will know, and I know people can't tell that future, but this usually happens. When the bear market, which we're on right now, gets even worse, people will start talking more about fundamentals like they should have been doing a lot longer, even me. I should have been really harping on that a lot longer than what I did. Then when the market goes up, then all of a sudden you're going to have all these crazy coins come out and go, you can make this much money. Me and coins. And then people like, that sounds good. And they go to that. So just remember, this is kind of like a reset for everybody. And that's why the ABCs, like Dixon says, accumulate, build and cleanse. All right. What else we got? That was a good question. Christian Badina. Hey, Robin, thanks for the hall work and the Dan website. Remember Dan teaches crypto 100% free, always going to be. I made it 100% free because people in different countries can't afford 995 a month or 1495 a month or whatever I was thinking about charging. So I just made it free. So I tried out the, oh, also, today I update the, there's five sections. There's five sections. I'm just going to add another one called metaverse. And it's some different metaverse videos that we did in the past and some basic principles about the metaverse itself. So that will come up, show it to you whenever it loads. Are there any good books or Udemy courses? I don't know. Somebody recommends some good books. I know there's some great books out there, but for me, I just, I just went through a lot of stuff myself. I couldn't even tell you where I found it. All right. Everyone was wrong about your MTC. It's okay to be yourself. Amen. You got to, you got to call yourself out when you're wrong. I was wrong. And that's what's up. Do you believe this is a bear market or bear market trend? Well, it's bearish. Let's not lie. I think we're under the 200 day moving average, right? And then we've, from all time highs, we're way below 40, not way, but we're below 40%. So it's a bearish trend. It's bearish. The bear market. See, some people say like the bear market, it's like, it's going to be bear winter, like the last time, like two years. I don't think it goes like that. I think, like James said, he had a good point. He goes, I think we're going to have, instead of crypto winter, crypto seasons, just like the regular market does. It goes up, it goes down. We'll see how it goes. But I think everything's in tandem with NASDAQ and S&P. And I think a big play is going to be with this, because everybody's freaking out about Ukraine and Russia and the US involvement. I just saw a post that 8,500 troops have been ordered to that area by the US. So we'll see. Would you call your next dog Bitcoin or Ethereum? There are no next dogs for me. Chewie and Chloe live with me forever. I have no idea. This is a good question. This is the fourth question. What do you think could be the Cardano Solanas of 2024, 2026 that we could DCA into now? I look pretty heavily into near and phantom, look pretty good. I need to do a deep dive, but that's not a financial opinion or that's not financial advice.  So on that one, you got to really dig deep into it. But maybe the next Cardano and Solanas are just Cardano and Solana. Maybe just keep going that route if you're investing into that one. And of course, I do like Algorand. At Dr. McCarrie, man, he's pretty good. Conversation with Jamie's argument. No, it was a good conversation. He even said, he's like, you know, Haskell, it is, I think he used the term, I don't want to say bullet proof, but he said it's unbreakable. So I'm talking about Cardano. Let's finish up with this. We're going at 48. This is way too long. Robby, 27 stories exactly. Am I right now? Man, I feel like, yeah, and this is why I did the video because look, you right now getting into crypto, you're not the only one. It's already happened, not just to me. And then before me, there was me before me back in 2013, 2014. It's the same thing. It just keeps rolling on and on and on. So don't think like it's like the end of the world because it didn't work out just didn't work out right now. And as time goes on again, accumulate, build, and cleanse, just start making plans right now. Get into the mindset that this is not a get rich quick scheme. It isn't nothing is. And if they're trying to tell you it is and they're full of it, they're liars, it takes it takes guts and it takes time. And that's really all it comes down to. And there's a reason again, why I'm like this, I'm not shouting all over the place. I've already been here. And four more years, you're going to be the exact same way that I am. Even like, I've already been here. I remember that guy Rob, who talked to me all the time about how this is what it's going to be. And that is what it is. All right, everybody. So that's it. Thanks so much for watching. I appreciate it. Sorry, I went too long. A lot of things to answer and go over. But that's it. If you like today's video, give it a thumbs up, consider subscribing. Also, all those links in the description is a ton of them. And that's it for today. So thanks so much. I do appreciate it. See you on the next one.

Hi guys, I hope you're all right today. In this video I'd like to tell you about the Patreon campaign that I recently started for my YouTube channel. Okay, so I'm Shane and I started creating 3d modeling tutorials on YouTube a few years ago I recently decided to up my game and spend more time planning shooting and editing the tutorial videos And I really believe that they're now up there with the best available Now most of the professional tutorial videos out there are created by companies who want you to pay for access to them And that's absolutely fine for them, but I want I don't want to work that way I think that education should be free and so all the videos that I've created or will ever create will be offered completely free of charge So I'm obviously not going to get rich doing this But that's not why I do it. I do it because I enjoy sharing what I know and They get a lot of satisfaction out of hearing from people that have really benefited from what I've been able to teach them The only problem with this way of working is that it severely limits the time I can spend on creating the videos I've obviously got to eat and pay bills So I work as a teacher in order to do that and of course that's got to be my priority Although I really love my job I'd also love to be able to put tutorials upon YouTube more often to really be able to share my knowledge with a much Large number of people and in a lot of cases with those people that really can't get the education anywhere else So how can you help? Well, that's where patreon comes in Patreon is a service that will allow you to if you want to be able to support me financially To help me create more and better tutorial and educational videos The way it works is that you can choose to give as little or as much money as you like and that will happen once every month You can choose to change the amount you give or cancel at any time So you're always completely in control and if you're not able to give anything then that's obviously fine, too Depending on how much you give you'll gain access to specific rewards This range is from access to the private patron feed where I'll post videos only for patrons to show you what I'm doing And how I'm making use of the donations Right through to personal support in your education So that might be via video chat if that's what you need I'll continue to update the rewards regularly as I think of better ways to thank my patrons for offering their support If you look on the patreon page, you'll also see a few milestones that I've set. These are probably very very ambitious But they explain what I'll do if I ever reach a certain amount of monthly donations I hope you'll have a read at my patreon page and consider supporting me if you can And if you're not able to become a patron Then I just hope you'll continue to support me by watching the videos and commenting on them to help me to further grow the community for my youtube channel Anyway, thanks a lot for watching and I'll see you next time


How's it going everybody? Dot2Doy here back with another video for you all today and if you know anything about the channel it's that I love Dragon Ball Fighters and why wouldn't I? I mean I'm a fan of the series Dragon Ball and this game features well balanced 2D fighting gameplay that almost anybody can enjoy. But to be honest I would be lying if I said I don't miss the more wild and chaotic energy of some of the older Dragon Ball titles. That's why in today's video we are once again returning to Dragon Ball Z Burst Limit in order to once again fight my friend Nano here. We've done this once before in a video and you guys really blew it up with support so I wanted to thank you so much for that. And if you really enjoyed this video and want to see even more old Dragon Ball games I would love to do that. Just let me know down below either in the comments or by leaving a like. But with that said let's go ahead and hop in and see how one of the older Dragon Ball games handled one-on-one fighting. Nano it's time. Oh wow you picked Broly right away. I noticed you picked the boss character. That's my secret weapon. That's fine. This is going to be a real six foot versus five eleven kind of match up. But that's fine. Yeah Krillin is five eleven. I felt that. Who would who would help Krillin out. I'm thinking you know. Raditz. Raditz.  Let's go. I got all the good selections. You want to go to Archie Polago. Yeah I'm down. Why are you laughing me. I don't know. No. Yeah. That was correct. Oh you know what. Let's turn the help bars down because I'm trying to TOD you. Wait what. You know what. You know what. Watch this. All right. You think you think I'm joking to you think this is a bit you're done for you're done for.  Hold on. I bet Krillin washes them right here. Yep. Yeah. I don't think so Broly that's what I like to see. You could try it. All right. Now game over for you. I'm very curious as to how much damage I'm about to do to you. Oh my goodness. Okay. Oh. Oh. Okay.  It's five minutes into the match.  Why are you. Why are you. Step it up on me like that. This is what it is. This is how this match should go. I bet you won't beam clash. Watch this.  Yeah. Yeah. I bet it back. Look at this. You're low IQ. Come here. What is it? Then he comes crashing down. Oh. Thirty seven fifty damage. I don't even have that much health. What is it. You know I was kind of you know I was kind of kidding but anyways I was Broly just a monster. Which which one do you think is cooler Nana what would you recommend saying spirit do you think. If you can hit me with it though it is a punch. No like I would ever miss. You know what I'm gonna get a random assist it was meant to be if it's meant to be it's meant to be let's go did you get I didn't actually did not see you'll see you'll see in the game. All right let's go. We're gonna clash. Whoa. Whoa. Yo. Yo. You're fighting for the birds and I'm fighting for my comrades that were slain. It's pretty much even. Why are you running. Oh. That's not how sixty. Oh. Of course. Let him know. Of course. That talk. Yeah. Now I do have to ask. Can I trace. Okay. I can't transform. That's fine. Just had a check. Just had a quick. Yeah. I thought maybe I could have access to the doll. Oh. I got it. Wait a sec. Wait a sec. Wait a sec.  Do it. Do it. I honestly kind of want to see it. Spirit. Wait. Let's go. Wait. This is everything. What? Everything. How much damage does that just do. You didn't even have a chance man. I was standing against fate itself there. Go ahead. Try something. Try something. Oh. Oh. Oh my God. Sixteen is aggressive. I'm fast too. Oh. Come get these hands. Lips really. I was definitely charging something up for you too. Come here. No, no, no. Please don't grab me. No. We're in space. What am I going to land on? I love the animation for this. This is so sick.  No. Wait. Let me stand against fate again. Let me stand against fate. Goodbye, nano. You better not let me land this Saiyan spirit or it's game over for you. What is this? Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I needed that too. All the trump cards here at the end. Oh. I was going to one shot you. That is a shame. That's fine. That's fine. I just got to win now. I just got to win. That's it. This is the most Dragon Ball match of all time. This is so dramatic. Pathetic. Oh. Wait. Look at the step back. I'll show my power. That's rather scary, nano. That's rather scary. No, no, no, no. I haven't even started standing against fate yet. No. Okay. Hey, nano. Guess what? Look behind you. I thought we were going to be way closer than that. Oh, man. You're lucky. I haven't started standing. No, 17. Don't do it. 17. Please. 17. This is a one-on-one match. No. Slight damage. I need to sell around here. Hang on. You're lucky. He says it too, doesn't he? I think so. Please don't. Please don't. Please don't. You're lucky. I pressed up circle and it didn't do anything. At least buried me back on earth. Why does it never end well for Bardock, man? The birds, they flew away. What? Why was he talking about birds? The birds flew away. Man, Bardock's not even my real main, man. I got to be honest with you. You know who my real main is? Raditz. Saturday crash and everything. So go ahead. Pick your main if you think you stand a chance. I got you. What are you doing? I bet you won't heat dome attack me.  You think you're going to lay a heat dome attack against me? Where would you like to get heat domed? You're not going to heat dome me, but if anything, sell games arena so I at least can see the nature. All right, we're going to clash again. Yo, we've had some even matches so far.  I haven't. He's wearing a weird get up and the sword. A weird get up, Dotto. Say an armor and the sword. Okay. The sword has a bit of range. I fight for my father, Dotto. Why am I not dodging these attacks? These attacks are getting to me. I got combos, Dotto. I got combos, Dotto. This sword range is ridiculous. What? No way. What? No. That's not real. That's not real. Yeah. Just like I said, not real. I kidnapped this kid and now he's become very useful. Get him, Gohan. I'm sorry, Dotto. What did you just say? Nothing. Saturday Crash. It's just Dragon Ball or Nano. Nano, don't do it, Nano. Nano, don't do it, Nano. Stop. You can't dodge all this stuff. No! Somebody dodge it, Ryder. It's dodging. It's a special scene. Kick it. Kick it. My gosh, bro. Catch me on the pro circuit, Dotto.  Watch this. I can't get close to him. You can't. Radice is adapting, keeping people out. Goodbye, Nino. Okay, you blocked it. You blocked it. No way. Dude, did you see me jump towards you for that? Yeah, you leaned in, dude. That was hot, dude. I knew Gohan would have my back. I'm his uncle, dude. He wouldn't let me go. Oh, and he got you good, huh? Take this with you. Oh. Okay. Stop, Dotto. Yeah, you got some free key, I guess. Double Sunday. No. What if I did another double Sunday? What do you mean?  I still don't get it. Double Sunday. You dodged that? But I dodged that. What? No. Oh, yeah, we're going to round three. We're going to round three. Stand up. I'm really lucky, dude. I'm trying to do something here just to help with the thumbnail and the video and everything. And you're here. I'm just kicking you. Tryharding. Dude, I love the way he pulls it out. I can't say that. Nino. What? Another key blast attack. All right, but no, don't. For real, though. Watch what he does at the sword. Tell me that doesn't look cool. It does look cool. And you know what, Nino? I think I know what you wanted.  Just I'll let you go all out this one time. OK. All right. I got you. Don't worry. You are going to get tied a bit close. All right. There we go. Back up. You're scaring me. No way. Go on. Go on. Now would be the time. Go on. If there was ever a time. Go on. Get in here. At first I was like, why are you calling it? Go on, man. I got it. Go on was there to save me. Now die. No. Just because you had to unleash your key. How is that fair to me? Sunday. What? Yeah. You just threw away my double Sunday like that. That's nothing to me, Dotto. Oh, you didn't even have a chance. Stop. You got to stop. Why are you getting too close? Why are you trying to hit me? Stop. No. Never get too close to Raditz. You had your chance. Another victory for Raditz, dude. Never underestimate Saiyan. Yes. Let's go. Wait, what? Did you see my? Hold on. What are these dropping pieces? Come here. I'm going to disappear. Wait a second. Why did you? Saiyans are no more. There's a new leader in town. His name is Sidemen. You regret planting me yet, Vegeta?  You look real scared. I do, don't I? Wait a second. They built me different. What is happening? What is happening? What is happening? Wait. For some reason I forgot that wearing that outfit, you can still go Super Saiyan. You know, I don't feel like I'm... I don't feel like I'm in the greatest spot anymore. Get up. Wait. What? What? What?  He's dead? I didn't realize you killed my first Saiyan. You really thought you could kill my best friend and get away with it. Yes, Napa. My father, dude. He's the one that grew me. Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. That's not something I'm considering doing. Oh, wait. Are you dead? No. I just lost another one of my comrades. But I'm still here. You didn't know you wanted a piece. That's actually, you know, a cool way to do this. No! No! What just happened? Wait. You killed one of my friends and now this one got pissed. Oh, no, dude. Please. How many Saiyans have died that round? Oh, that was only one round, too. You're done. This is like what the fish Simon did. Oh, and they're getting faster, Nano. You better put a stop to this. I don't like this. Might be time to use the cheat method. Come here. Wait. Why is it like this? Oh, no. No, why are we so close? Here we go. No, no. Recooom. Recooom.  Is that going to kill Simon? Why? Simon's not going to be able to live this. No way. This area is pretty, man. Hang on.  You're surrounded by dead Simon already. And I keep spotting it. Yes, Napa. Help him. Help him, Napa. Don't let him out of your sight. Napa does that to Vegeta. You're asking for trouble, to be honest. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. I'm begging you. You ready for this? I'm not going to be able to block this. I was able to block this. No, no. And I know I have a request. Let me go out of my own terms. Let me go out of my own terms. Let me go out of my own terms. Thank you. Thank you. I just, you know, I've come to peace with this. This is how all Simon go out. I've always wanted to self-destruct that. Can you say a few words? You're not even trying. Those are not the words I meant. Random? Oh, random. Now, Nato, I did pick the boss character. I do think it's time for me to win. I got to be honest. Oh, nice little color scheme you got there. Changing up the outfit. Also, this is not canon. This is not canon. I think you did, by the way.  No, my eyes. Come here. You thought you could blind me, huh? Oh, my eyes. My eyes. My eyes, Nato. All right. My key is rising overflowing. Can you guess what's going to happen after this? What? Did you guess right? I did not. Oh, come on, Piccolo. You're ruining my damage. Lucky you're in that bubble, kid. Nato, did you see that? I'm a whole boss character. Goodbye. No way. All because your partner wanted to say some words of encouragement. I lost all my key. All right. Just die, bro. Just die. It's time to call it. It's time to call it. I'm a boss monster. I have nothing more to say to you. What changed? How's your key looking, Nato? Not so hot, Nato. All right. All right. We'll end this one rather quickly. Take my finger gun. Oh, my goodness. It's just surviving. Whisper kind nothings in my ear. Thank you. Piccolo, don't. I was just throwing your key blast. I was just throwing your key. That was a lot. I still win. Blow up, Broly. Am I going to die? Whoa. Wait, 16. Yeah, you thought I didn't have 16 with me, huh? No. Yes. Please don't be still charging up. Please don't be still charging up. No. Yes. No. What? Hang on. It was supposed to be a clean 2-0 sweep. Look at me. It's pretty interesting. All right. Sounds good.  Just your final scene. Oh, Dodge? My final scene. I'm sorry. Oh, you didn't think this was it? I'm just now getting a torn of key for the fourth time. All right. I'm going to use my key. Ah, I've been waiting. No.   No way. Let's go. Well, then think about it.   Is this what you wanted, Netto? No way. Wait a second. Thank you. Don't hit me. Don't hit me. No, I don't think he's going to hit you. Just a jump. Oh! What? Die, Netto! Last guy! How did I miss? Did you knock it off course? Whoa! Here, I'll at least bury you back on Earth. Doesn't quite look as good down here anymore. Let's go! Whoa! All right. We're going to clash again. Thank God. I was like the way Vegeta took off running. I did not think I stood a great one. I like Vegeta's aesthetic. I'm taking it. We look like King Vegeta right now. Yeah. You got a nice color option. Why am I losing already? Why am I losing already? I bet you won't do that again. No, why am I so bad at these? No!  I can't win this! What is this? Thank you. You wouldn't dare. You wouldn't... He would handle him. Always got to have your dad there, huh? After I... My dad would beat your dad. Oh, wait a second. Since when were you almost dead? I don't know. Did you just say my dad would beat your dad? Yeah, bro. Your dad's dead. My dad's at least right. Look at him. He's right here. He's right here. King Vegeta? Yeah, I mean, you're dressed as him. Yeah, I've got daddy issues. What about it? Oh! Damn, dude! That's bad! Why am I losing so bad right now? What was that? Oh, that was dirty fireworks, right? What? Why is your Vegeta your main? Why is he so good?  I had a fact. A Vegeta main. I'm a little left out right now. Um, don't do what I think you're going to do. I'm a little left out right now. You did it. I think I know what you're going to do, and I'm going to counter it. Oh, yeah? Yeah, that's what I'm thinking right now. I did not know what you were going to do. What is that? What is that? Super Vegeta? Yeah, I'm sorry. Kakarot, can you do that? I can't do that. What? I thought for sure that was how it worked. Vegeta coming out of his trash. Where's the instant transmission part of this move? That's what I'm saying, Dotto. Dodged it? Oh, thank you. Thank you, Bardock. Thank you, Bardock. Just as I predicted, dude. Just as I predicted. I don't know. Goku, if you don't instant transmission in the next three seconds. Some people play checkers and others play chess. Dotto, I don't know. Are you instant transmission with a B? I don't know, man. I couldn't figure that out either. I'm dead. No. No, no. Do you have anything to say before the video abruptly ends? GGs.


Welcome to the Sunshine Coast and my name is Beth Crowder and I'm the Information and Research Services Coordinator up here, which means I basically manage the reference librarians.  So the subtitle of my presentation was From Little Things, Big Things, but we haven't quite grown all that much yet. So a little bit about us as an institution, we're 18 years old this year and I've been here for about seven years and my standard joke is that we behave like a human being of that particular age. So an 18 year old is how our institution works. We're kind of trying to be grown up, but we're still trying to be rebellious as well. And that has a lot of implications about the way we manage a lot of things here. We're small, we've only got around 9,600 students at the moment, 299 academic staff and we expect our academics to be at least a little bit research active. And even though you were young, we are highly centralized, a little bit hierarchical and that actually has been a real bonus for our discussions about research data management. I've listed our kind of big research areas, the ones that are more data productive and this is kind of in order of how they're arriving at the institution. So the latest big thing to hit us is engineering with the sustainability focus and all of this is starting to present us with research data. And it's starting to present us with a diversity of research data that institutionally I don't think we'd realized was going to happen to us. So here's our history of research data management. In 2010 there was just nothing and there was probably not a really strong concept of the push for research here, although there was a lot happening. In 2011 a new PVC research was appointed. Wonderfully and coincidentally it was about the same time as our Seeding the Commons project happened. He has really pushed research so we're on a very steep trajectory about what's happening. So by 2014 after we had our Seeding the Commons we've now got a bit of research data management happening and wonderfully our IT people organized some central storage space for us as well. A little bit on our Seeding the Commons. We were very small. I ended up working with Seeding the Commons because the person who was going to lead the project decided to have a baby or two. I worked very closely with our repository coordinator, sort of pushed into a role that we didn't really expect. So we started the Seeding the Commons by having a high level steering group which included the director of information services, the director of IT services and the director of research. We also included two senior researchers and the repository coordinator and myself. So we were very structured in the way we did it. And under the steering committee we had a working party and I've just colour coordinated this so that you can see we had the brown people from the library, we had somebody from IT, we had two people from the Office of Research, we had some people from Faculty Research Administration and we've got researchers. I think one of the best things in our original planning was that we had ethics people on our initial working party because it gave us who weren't involved with ethics so much a conception of what was going to be involved in research data management. And it also opened some doors for us. We had some engagement and we started doing some public communication. I gave some talks. At this point we created a LibGuide. So we had a LibGuide going on fairly early about research data management. Because I was their boss and because I talk a lot, the faculty librarians heard a lot about research data. And because we had someone from IT on our working party, they started to prick their ears up that something was in the wind. It was really useful for us that conversations were starting to be had right the way across the university in all these different areas. There wasn't a huge amount of traction and some of our key research areas just didn't want to be involved so this was a bit of a challenge for us. I'll go back to our wonderful new PVC research. Suddenly we were starting to get new researchers to come in. I call this great moments in research data management history at USC. We were sitting around at a table and someone said there was a researcher coming with micro spectroscopy. Suddenly we realised that there were going to be people arriving here with big data as opposed to a few Excel spreadsheets. IT and the university realised that we really needed to do something about research data management. So we pushed through some policies. We've now got a research academic policy which fortunately happened at around the same time as our Seeding the Commons project. We've got procedures that sit under that and this is at a university level and it came out of the office of the PVC research. So we've got research data and materials procedures. We have a research data and materials management plan that feeds into that. When our central storage was put in place there are restricted folders for researchers on that central store and they have to apply for that through IT. So currently anyone who is undertaking research activity here can request central storage space. That includes HDR students. When they apply for space they are asked to submit a research data management plan and what's been heartening I suppose is the best word is that the research, the HDR students have been the ones most willing to actually go through that process. This little model kind of says how it's functioning. Our process has developed good relationships between the library and the office of research at IT services in terms of research data management. We've progressively engaged faculty a little bit more. I think the disengaged area probably is still, a lot of the researchers aren't quite sure what this is all about although they've been very keen to put stuff on our central store. We have some areas who still aren't engaging with that. One of our challenges is the jigsaw piece in black which is the external forces. Because we're small, we have a lot of industry relationship and that always poses a challenge for where the data's going to sit and what they're going to be doing with their data and who's going to have access to their data. One of our problems with data sharing is we haven't got an outward facing space for data sharing. Our central store is very locked down which has been great for some of the researchers because that's what they wanted. What's been great for us has been the, as other people have said, the changes to the ARC and Public Library of Science guidelines. So there's a lot of activity at the beginning of this year and I had another round of presentations to research groups to talk about how they could start thinking about complying with the ARC and PLOS. I've got to say also that until last year there'd be no great engagement between IT and the needs of researchers. So one of the kind of sub-benefits of this whole research data management process was the employment of an IT research infrastructure person. So our researchers have now got somebody to contact in IT specifically to talk about not only research data management but all of their research IT needs. So there's been a lot of flow on effects from our research data management project from our seat in the Commons. We've started talking to HDR students. I think this has been really important because in some of their discipline areas, such as health, appropriate data management is mandated and it's been good that their supervisors have been supportive of us in these discussions. And we hope also, and I say this every time I talk to HDR students to ask them to take the information that they've got from our talks to take it back to their supervisors and discuss it. And for the first time this year, we've actually got a component in their research essentials program that is about research data management. I know this session was about the library but we are a little bit of a we where the library, the Office of Research and IT Services have worked very closely in research data management and to a degree it's helped us work together right the way across the board as well. Most of the education here has fallen to the library and it's probably because I'm their boss so I've got them working for me but we've now developed a system where our faculty librarians try to meet every new researcher who comes on campus and that's researchers and HDR students. And that's new and the faculty librarians have found all of this business about research data management challenging but they've embraced it. And before I gave the talk I asked a couple of them what they did in terms of research data management. So first of all was our social sciences librarian who said, ah, sometimes I forget so she thought her boss was coming after her. And then she started talking about what she does and she talks about end note and databases and she talks about our library guides which means that our library guide about research data management is pointed out and she talks about the central storage space and how to get access to it and she talks about the research data management plan. So as I think it was Katina said there's a lot for them to cover and they've got a lot going on in their heads but very much aware that it's part of their role. And then this was the science librarian. What was great was kind of got quite indignant that I was asking him and then he told me what he talked about and it was about end note and systematic reviews and he talked to his researchers and students about being systematic and back up and about file structures and keeping things in appropriate folders, naming and being systematic. At the end of it when he said I don't get time to talk about research data management well what he talks to them about is research data management and that was great. So finally, what about the researchers themselves? Well central storage has been a godsend for us because it has, it brought instant engagement but we've still got researchers who don't trust anyone with their data except an external USB drive with a password. Many of them are still hanging on to their data and they don't necessarily particularly want to complete a research data management plan. I forgot to say earlier, we don't have a metadata store and I think a metadata store is really valuable in trying to sell research data management.  We've got a researcher who is doing pretty spectacular international environment research. He uses and produces data and he was on our first steering committee when we were talking about what we were going to do for the long term and he said he had been involved in the past in trying to construct an international data exchange. It didn't work. Earlier this year he came and he said he wanted to do something with his data and could we help him? He just wanted it in open access. He was far too busy to have to deal with it at all so he just wanted to get it. As soon as we mentioned things like processes and paperwork he said he was far too busy to bother because this is the kind of paperwork that they get confronted with when they want to do some, want to actually look at research data management. So I went away from his conversation with a challenge that if they want to go out about making a difference to the world we have to try and make it as easy as possible for them so that all the paperwork about research data management doesn't actually stop them doing it and it facilitates research data management rather than causing another great problem for them. Which seems to be a big challenge here. So that's my challenge to you.


All right guys, what's up? Welcome to another week of the ESPN MIC highlight reel gotta bring the energy for you guys to recap the week and talk about all that happened Oh my god there was so much that happened this week from members doing this Alex doing this crypto going crazy spies doing it crazy stuff inflation is Apparently quote-unquote down, but let's get into it So as always guys I do these weeks to recap the week every single week Text my line at two and three four five eight five nine nine seven If you get any value out of these videos if you want me to keep doing them if you want to sign up for MIC or just Get your questions answered. So the spy is absolutely ramping up. It's absolutely crazy. We're back at 400 apparently inflation is down The economy is good and retirement is back on and I'll never see you guys again Because I'm going to retire on freaking Boca del Rey with a pina colada So I'll see you guys never but no, I'm kidding but retirements back on for the for the moment so November 17th We're going back to Monday and what we're going to talk about here are the two trades that Alex did and the first one was Dwhack DWAC and GCT but on the watch list Alex was saying GCT potential hot chick in the morning not looking too short and believe or not This was actually the one he took a loss on I don't have a P&L for Alex on Monday because it was just basically break even but he did went on Dwhack and he did actually lose on GCT but what are you saying on Dwhack, which will actually pull up? Simultaneously, I try to do this guy so you can just get kind of an idea every single day You know at least every single example of every single day day that ran and so you can see kind of like the complimentary Action of what what transpired? So we're going back to the 7th, which is Monday right here This was the first day of DWAC and Alex was saying I want 23 2350 to 24 to 2450 to even lines at 25 so as you can see guys it didn't even make its way up to 24 Alex had a nice short in the morning You know it opens up stuffs right out of the gate literally you can see that happen and what does he do? He hits the pop. I mean it's as simple as that guys. This is like bread and butter This is this is how we do you know, that's just MIC process in a nutshell But Alex was warning about a potential hot chick on GCT. So I don't know if he had FOMO I don't know if he just kind of felt like maybe I should get in front of this thing or try it at all But you know here's Monday on the 7th of November obviously and he gets it You know he gets a decent short in the morning because this thing actually did kind of stuff out the gate You know just like what we saw in DWAC like it definitely did have this stuff But man This is one of those ones that just kept going and you know guys if you were to zoom in a little bit This thing is kind of still you know There's not too much overhead and this thing is still kind of Intact when it comes to trends so Alex did exactly what he should have done He stopped out of pre-market highs very calculated just proper risk management And so that was basically just a break-even day It's we'll just took call that a big old goose egg just basically a zero on the P&L But Alex had a great week because I don't know if you guys remember But last week Alex was coming off literally a break-even week for the entire week Which we barely see him do you know 200 loss here $500 win here $500 loss it basically just you know evened out Want to showcase some members rock mon hitting awesome on vero outer lines You know using the whole and half dollar numbers guys 14 14 50. I love that PO final charts for the week or for the day. He did really good on outer lines Where did the chart fail before that's where you want to hit it this failed So you can hit this one this failed here so you can hit this one I love that so just like I love everything when it's good. I gotta tell it to you and PO did great on there Not a Larry coming in with DWAC as well You know super broken down chart guys way under VWAP these pushes towards VWAP are a lot safer to play Then something that's you know playing ping pong through VWAP and then it's just you know again like you could go through It could retrace it could come back it could break through so Super broken down stock tons of overhead very weak under VWAP it that's that's MIC process in a nutshell As Alex was saying on the watch list and David doing the exact same thing as well following the watch list Gerard coming in on GCT and Waiting for this massive morning squeeze to go past seven to seven fifty and using the whole half dollar numbers So I love that waited for the parabolic waited, you know to scale into those whole and half dollars and just a very safe play I love this trade on what Dan Hudson was doing. He actually was on the long side He was on the reverse side of DWAC and totally caught this squeeze and actually Believe or not pretty much followed what Alex was saying about the watch list in the sense that it was you know It was a potential hot chick and he totally took advantage of that. So let's see we're coming in on Tuesday and Alex said I made forty hundred dollars nice win under my belt today Thanks to DWAC again from the watch list walking away before I get into trouble guys looking for a morning pop to 2750 28 20 50 29 a skill and short you got to use wide range, but less size. So let's go to the 8th Obviously Tuesday. It's the next day. It's the second day of the run So we had this day and then coming in here. So day one and day two and it's exactly you guys Exactly what Alex was saying on the watch list. So just really nice, you know $4,800 then it tanked and that was if you're patient for outer lines, that's where you make the money So Alex did a really good job. The members also did pretty good too. So check this out. Let's see a couple of them Let me full let me make this bigger for you so you can see I don't want you have to squint your eyes and you know cause yourself Cause yourself an eye problem or what's it called a stigma in that, you know a stigmatism Hooper X is just the king of outer lines man I love this one something's broken way under VWAP that push towards VWAP is the outer line if something is not super broken by Be open guess what you're gonna have to do use the outer lines of where it failed and or the pre-market levels Before so super key Hooper X doing exactly what process entails Travers coming in with a you know, I want to showcase losses every now and then guys I do this every now and then because I think it's really I just think it's a really good idea and I don't love the idea of Travers longing on day two as your chances of a successful long get mitigated them Right after day one day one you have the most edge for long edge for long That's like the date along so day two and day three less odds But what I love about Travers and what he does here is he cuts it immediately if he's wrong He gave it a college boy try which he probably is a college boy and just cut it immediately when he realized It wasn't going his in his favor, but here's the other thing and then he cleaned up on GRWG So, you know again strong stock pull back to support. That's he's not chasing up here He's waiting for these supports to hold using the whole and a half dollar numbers and then selling into the jumps And then using always a little piece as you can see at the end like right here for a break even so he does So he's never in L on the trade once he's already paid himself. I love that Chooch this does not get any sexier than a just a perfect showcase of outer lines Just absolutely flawless man. I mean that is literally flawless. So Chooch big hats off buddy GRWG First resistance plan to scale a 450 to 5 daily chart Target area was 410 again again. You guys are getting this man You guys are getting the outer lines concept and then once something fails Where do you want to hit it again? You want to hit it the whole and a half dollar levels where that channel sets up? So Diego that is absolutely fantastic. I got to shout you out buddy and great freaking job We're coming into Wednesday the new member webinar Alex made 6500 so as you can see guys there was a lot more volatility a lot more A lot more opportunity this week like I said, you know Alex had a break even week last week and now he's coming on I mean just I'll just ballpark this really quick a 20,000 our week like so you have to see the difference when the opportunity is there like it's it's massively different So 6500 this was the watch list, but I actually want to get into the members of what they were doing Let's take a look You know guys if I wanted to read the watch list every single you know every single day every single day of the week These videos would just be too long. I kind of want to make this quick and snappy, but teedog coming in Absolutely phenomenal. You must have been getting some mentorship from Steven our world traveler But what fantastic follow-through and use case of the outer lines really fantastic job Notty larry again on DWAC stocks broken uses the outer lines in 24. I love that Hooper X outer line king There's nothing that more that needs to be said when you only can get one bullet or one entry in your trade You know you're doing something right Travers man this kid when he's on the right side of trend, which he is a lot when he's on the right side of trend This kid kills it. He gets good entries and he pays himself the whole way up So Travers huge huge congratulations there Steven showcases a member of the disciplinary workshop Yorick is absolutely slaying with the consistency lately Yorick big Congratulations to you buddy. It's all about getting better. I never want you guys in you know in these videos Or just in trading in general especially in M. I see I never want you guys comparing yourself to anybody else It's always just about being better than you were the day before and making sure that you're focused on your process So, you know, we can always look at someone else's and there's always a bigger P&L But that's not what it's all about guys. So we're coming into Thursday. Obviously yesterday Cuz it's Friday at the time of you know recording this and let's say what Alex put he put 3700 Finally a day filled with solid market action I am taking I am taking easy predictable money and walking away before zombie times take over because that happens a lot So let's go to DB GI. I really like this chart and here's why so Right here, you know this thing runs after hours, you know on Wednesday And so this is basically a day two guys This is basically a day two so that six line is exactly where you want to be because it's a whole and a half dollar number It's the outer line. So this thing runs where did it fail before I always talk about that not down here not down here Not it right there. It's the six lines the outermost lines Alex Absolutely crushed this especially added to a winner guys This is this is the biggest takeaway from this added to a winner As soon as he caught this massive stuff in the morning when this shit started stuffing He was like I'm I'm piling in and that's the key So what was that about a 3,800 37 $800 day yesterday? Super clean this this is where the week got crazy So for anybody who's been living under a rock all the dude, this was the week of pop culture and stuff top jeek Andrew Cobra Tate. I love this freaking guy. He is now sparring off potentially and doing a fight with Jake Paul They enter frame.  He's not busting anymore. So it's just it is what it is man But back to members PO Awesome job. Just again again his use case of outer lines is really really really getting good So all the members, you know coin Gerard on coin, especially hearing all this FTX news Like dude, this thing is just this feels like a it feels like a ghost town with these crypto stocks or these crypto industries Man, I'm telling you so, you know I'm not one to just say just short because the fundamentals look, you know so and so but hey I mean, I wouldn't be longing hood and coin and Things like FTX right now not even Bitcoin, but hey, that's not financial advice So it's just there's a lot of fear in the industry going around and feels kind of like a ghost town Split letter always trading a lot perfect process cutting when he's wrong immediately and writing the follow-through on winners when he's right So he posts so many charts. It's kind of hard to zero in on one But split letter is doing really good every single day And I want to shout him out a little bit because the guy is he's he's really crushing. So we come in today Alex makes 6100 in the morning 6100 and the week solid plan on vs this morning the short for 420 440 lines after it topped out guys, and I don't have the chart, but I'll just pull it vs real quick Oops vs. Yep So it ran, you know This last couple days and was a total pump and then Alex did exactly what processes entails things way broken under VWAP Obviously you guys have you been watching for a little while and know my quote-unquote million dollar strategy This is what it is stocks broken way under VWAP VWAP is the outer line if you can combine that with a whole A half dollar into all this bag holder land where you know these stuck longs from pre-market or these highs of Overhead want out. I mean that's just cherry on the top. It's already inflated the last couple days This this is like this is a home run setup with a home run trade So really really good job Alex there, and then let's take it to the members And I only have a couple here because everybody's enjoying their Friday, but Ryan. I love this I love this man strong stock look at this process on PSNY long dips waits for support hole in half dollar hits the rip Sells it awesome Back to T dog had another great trade just like earlier in the week out of lines guys Really really really really good job following Alex's leads and then a big shout out to Rob For putting all of these annotations on Alex's charts with commentary real time together So again guys like just one like that's the power of community guys We're all helping each other get to the same goal, so I love that so let me actually open up our chat room Which is slack chat and what you're gonna see in here is a couple really cool features So let me expand upon this a little bit So every single day guys we have a watch list in the morning Alex is curating the watch list He's putting the details together giving you a giving you a very major edge You take it to the main trading room if you're a small cap trader you have fills you have moderators You have warnings bow reminiscing when he's super young, you know, 30 years ago. Whatever it is, you know Funny memes, you know for price action, you know everything in a nutshell everything you need to know Sam pigment fry Large cap and options room guys. So, you know, you don't have to be a small cap trader We have a swing room as well. There's so much you can do We have an after hours channel where we have fun. We show our food We post links Kevin O'Leary apparently was a big investor in FTX got demolished just like Tom Brady a lot of other guys I I don't take joy in that but man these guys were risky putting their fortunes in, you know, just I don't know I don't know man. I think everybody but he got lured into the shiny object that is crypto So it is what it is, but let me go to their website really quick and also show you guys something really cool So I'm gonna go to my investing club calm My investing club calm Cool guys. So now that we're here check this out. I want to show you two things on the website So if I go to the video library what you're gonna see is all of our videos right here categorize in order and structure It's actually awesome, but Alex's live trades. We have a new video series where Alex Records his live trades and then we edit it professionally and then he literally Commentates on it full audio, you know, basically real time, you know, he's training real time at the time There's recording but now he's coming back after after the case and and this is no hindsight who because the you know The trades are live, but now he's commenting on it and how important what he thought here was what he did here The money that he made his thought process and he's trying to get you guys to get better So while the first one is free to the open public, these are exclusive to lifetime Now if I go to the main page or actually any page for that matter outside of seeing things like broker statements and free training I want you guys to book a call So two one three four five eight five nine nine seven is my business line But you guys can also book a call if you want to get all your questions answered And I highly recommend doing so as I'm here for you guys and make sure that you get you just have confidence coming in at MIC so check this out guys as per usual I have to do the one last thing that we do every single week. What is it? Calculator let me go here. What did Alex make for the week? Let's talk about it So all right 4800 this is not the exact number guys every now and then it's like five to ten dollars off But I ballpark as much as I can so if it's 4780.  Pedal to the medal when the opportunity is there which we had this week guys $21,000 so and if you include rebates, I'm assuming it's probably about around 24,000 for the week so again man What an awesome week compared to last a lot of lessons and that concludes the MIC ESPN highlight reel guys I will see you next week and hopefully we'll be busting out more money more opportunities more lessons And you know how it is if anything book a call or text my line if you're interested. See you guys
