11. A peep into one of God's storehouses. 12. Once there was a father who thought he would build for his children a beautiful home, putting into it everything they could need or desire throughout their lives. 13. So he built the beautiful house, and anyone just to look at the outside of it would exclaim how lovely. 14. For its roof was a wide, blue dome like the sky, and the lofty rooms had arched ceilings covered with tracery of leaves and waving bows. 15. The floors were carpeted with velvet, and the whole was lighted with lamps that shone like stars from above. 16. The sweetest perfumes floated through the air, while thousands of birds answered the music of fountains with their songs. 17. And yet, when you have seen all this, you have not seen the best part of it. 18. For the house has been so wonderfully contrived that it is full of mysterious closets, storehouses, and secret drawers all locked by magic keys or fastened by concealed springs. 19. And each one is filled with something precious or useful or beautiful to look at, piles upon piles and heaps upon heaps of wonderful stores. 20. Everything that the children could want or dream of wanting is laid up here, but yet they are not to be told anything about it. 21. They are put into this delightful home and left to find it all out for themselves. 22. At first, you know they will only play. They will roll on the soft carpet and listen to the fountains and the birds, and wander from room to room to see new beauties everywhere. 23. But someday, a boy full of curiosity, prying here and there into nooks and corners, will touch one of the hidden springs. A door will fly open, and one storehouse of treasures will be revealed. 24. How he will shout and call upon his brothers and sisters to admire with him. How they will pull out the treasures and try to learn how to use his new and strange materials. 25. What does my father mean this for? Why did he give that so odd a shape or so strange a covering? 26. And so through many questions and many experiments, they learn at last how to use the contents of this one storehouse. 27. But do you imagine that sensible children after one such discovery would rest satisfied? 28. Of course they would explore and explore, try every panel and press every spring until one by one all the closets should be opened and all the treasures brought out. 29. And then how could they show their gratitude to the dear father who had taken such pains to prepare this wonderful house for them. 30. The least they could do would be to try to use everything for the purposes intended and not to destroy or injure any of the precious gifts prepared so lovingly for their use. 31. Now God, our loving Father, has made for us, for you, and for me, and for little Maj and Jenny, and for all the grown people and children too, just such a house. 32. It is this earth on which we live. You can see the blue roof and the art ceilings of the rooms with their canopy of leaves and drooping bows and the velvet covered floors and the lights and the birds and fountains. 33. But do you know of any of the secret closets? Have you found the key or the spring of a single one or been called by your mother or father or brother or sister to take a peep into one of them? 34. If you have not, perhaps you would like to go with me to examine one that was opened a good many years ago, but contains such valuable things that the uses of all of them have not yet been found out and their beauty is just beginning to be known. 35. The doorway of this storehouse lies in the side of a hill. It is twice as wide as a great barn door where the hay carts are driven in, and two railroad tracks run out of it side by side with the little footpath between them. 36. The entrance is light because it opens so wide, but we can see that the floor slopes downward and the way looks dark and narrow before us. 37. We shall need a guide and here comes one, a rough looking man with smutty clothes and an odd little lamp covered with wire gauze fastened to the front of his cap. 38. He is one of the workmen employed to bring the treasures out of this dark storehouse and he will show us by the light of his lamp some of the wonders of this place. 39. Walk down the sloping footpath now and be careful to keep out of the way of the little cars that are coming and going on each side of you, loaded on one side and empty on the other and seeming to run up and down by themselves, but you will find that they are really pulled and pushed by an engine that stands outside the doorway and reaches them by long chains. 40. At last we reach the foot of the slope and as our eyes become accustomed to the faint light, we can see passages leading to the right and left and square chambers cut out in the solid hill. 41. So this great green hill upon which you might run or play is inside like what I think some of those large ant hills must be, traversed by galleries in full rooms and long passages, all about we see men like our guide working by the light of their little lamps. 42. We hear the echoing sound of the tools and we see great blocks and heaps that they have broken away and loaded into little cars that stand ready here and there to be drawn by meals to the foot of the slope. 43. Now are you curious to know what this treasure is? Have you seen already that it is only coal and do you wonder that I think it's so precious? 44.  45. Do you see the delicate tracery of ferns more beautiful than the ferris drawing? 46. See beneath your feet is the marking of great tree trunks lying a slant across a floor and the forms of gigantic palm leaves strewed among them. 47. Here is something different. Rounded like a nut shell you can split off one side and behold there is the nut lying snugly as does any test nut in its berth. 48. Did you notice the great pillars of coal that are left to uphold the roof? 49. Let us look at them for perhaps we can examine them more closely than we can the roof and the sides of these halls. 50. Here are mosses and little leaves and sometimes an odd looking little body that is not unlike some of the sea creatures we found at the beach last summer and everything is made of coal. 51. How did it happen and what does it mean? Ferns and palms mosses and trees and animals all perfect all beautiful and yet all hidden away under this hill and turned into shining black coal. 52. Now I can very well remember when I first saw a coal fire and how odd it looked to see what seemed to be burning stones. 53. For when I was a little girl we always had logs of wood blazing in an open fireplace and so did many other people and coal was just coming into use for fuel. 54. What should we have done if everybody had kept on burning wood to this day? 55. There would have been scarcely a tree left standing for think of all the locomotives and engines and factories besides all the fires and houses and church houses and school houses. 56. But God knew that we should have need of other fuels besides wood and so he made great forest to grow on the earth before he had made any men to live upon it. 57. These forests were of trees different in some ways from those we have now. Great ferns as tall as this house and mosses as high as little trees and palm leaves of enormous size. 58. And when they were all prepared he planned how they should be best stored up for the use of his children who would not be here to use them for many thousands of years to come. 59. So he let them grow and ripen and fall to the ground and then the great rocks were piled above them to crowd them compactly together and they were heated and heavily pressed until as the ages went by they changed slowly into these hard black shining stones and became better fuel than any wood because the substance of wood was concentrated in them. 60. Then the hills were piled up on top of it all but here and there some edge of a coal bed was tilted up and appeared above the ground. This served for a hint to curious men to make them ask what is this and what is it good for. 51. And so at last following their questions defined their way to the secret stores and make an open doorway and let the world in. So much for the fuel but God meant something else besides fuel when he packed this closet for his children. 52. At first they only understood the simplest and plainest value of the coal but there were some things that traveled the miners very much. One was a gas that would take fire from their lamps and burn making it dangerous for men to go into the passages where they were likely to meet it. 53. But by and by the wise men thought about it and said to themselves we must find out what useful purpose God made the gas for. We know that he does not make anything for harm only. The thought came to them that it might be prepared from coal and conducted through pipes to our houses to take the place of lamps or candles which until that time had been the only light. 54. But after making the gas there was a thick pitchy substance left from the coal called coal tar. It was only a trouble to the gas makers who had no use for it and even threw it away until someone more thoughtful than the others found out that water would not pass through it. 55. And so it began to be used to cover roofs of buildings and mixed with some other substances made of pavement for streets and being spread over ironwork it protected it from rust. 56. Don't you see how many uses we have found for this refuse coal tar? And the finest of it all is yet to come for the chemist got hold of it and distilled it and refined it until they prepared for the black dirty pitch lovely emerald colored crystals which had the property of dying silk and cotton and wool in beautiful colors. 57. Violet, magenta, purple or green? What do you think of that from the coal tar? When you have new ribbon for your hat or a pretty dress or your grandma buys a new violet ribbon for her cap just ask if there are dyed with aniline colors and if the answer is yes you may know that they came from the coal tar. 58. Besides the dyes we shall also have left naphtha useful in making varnish and various oils that are used in more ways than I can stop to tell you or you would care now to hear. 59. If your cousin Annie has a jet belt clasp or bracelet and if you find in Annie this box of old treasures an old odd shaped brooch of jet then you may remember the coal again. 60. For jet is only one kind of lignite which is a name for a certain preparation of coal but here is another surprise of a different kind. You have seen boxes of hard smooth white candles with a name paraffin marked on the cover. 61. Would you think black coal could ever undergo such a change as to come out in the form of these white candles? Go to the factory where they are made and you can see the whole process and then you will understand one more of God's meanings for coal. 62. All this time I have not said a word about how while the great forest landed pressure for millions of years the oils that were in the growing plant just as oils are in main growing plants now were pressed out and flowed into underground reservoirs lying hidden there until one day not many years ago a man accidentally bored into one. 63. Up came the oil spouting and running over gushing out and streaming down to a little river that ran nearby. As it floated on the surface of the water for oil and water will not mix you know the boys for mischief set fire to it and a stream of fire rolled along down the river proving to everybody who saw it that a new light as good as gas had come from the coal. 64. Now those of us who have kerosene lamps may thank the oil wells that were prepared for us so many years ago. When your hands or lips are cracked and rough from the cold does your mother ever put on glycerin to heal them? 65. If she does you are indebted again to the coal oil for of that it is partly made and now let me tell you that almost all the uses for coal have been found out since I was a child and by the time you are men and women you may be sure that as many more will be discovered. If not from that storehouse certainly from some of the many others that our good father has prepared for us and hidden among the mountains or in the deserts or perhaps under your very feet today. For thousands of people walked over those hills of coal before one saw the treasures that lay hidden there. I have only told you enough to teach you how to look for yourselves.  Some time we may open another door together. There were plenty of gold-green beetles in the forest. Their violet-colored cousins also held royal state there. And scarlet or yellow with black trimmings was the uniform of many a gay troupe that careered in splendor through the vine-hung aisles of the hot damp woods. But clinging to the gray bark of some tree or lying concealed among the damp leaves in a swamp was the gayest and fairest of them all, if the truth be told. A little blackish-brown bug, dingy and hairy, not pleasant to look upon, you will say, surely not related to such winged splendors as play in the sunlight. Yet he is true first cousin to the green and gold or to the royal violet. Has as fair a title to a place in your regard and will prove it, if you will only wait his time. He is like those plain people whom we pass every day without notice until some great trial or difficulty cause out a hidden power within them, and they flash into greatness in some noble action and prove their kinship to God. We need not wait long, for as soon as the sun has set our dull blackish bug unfolds his wings and reveals his latent glory. He becomes a star, a spark from the sun's very self. If you can prevail upon him to condescend to attend you, you may read or write by his light alone. But come with me to this Indian's hut, where instead of lamp, candle, or torch, three or four of these luminous insects make all the dwelling bright. See the Indian hunter preparing for a journey, or a raid upon the forest beasts, by fastening to his hands and feet the little lantern flies that shall make the pathway light before him.  Kukui! Kukui! And quickly they crowd around him in troops. And here I must tell you a little Japanese story. The young lady Firefly is courted by her many suitors, who themselves carry no light. She is shy and reserved. She will not accept the attentions.  Then the daring lovers rush blindly at the nearest fire or candle, and perish in the flame. But to return to the Indian. Not only do his lantern flies illuminate his path, but they go on before him, like an advanced guard, to clear the road of its infecting mosquitoes, gnats and other troublesome insects, which they seize and devour on the wing. No harm would the Indian do to his little torchbearer, for besides the service he renders, does he not embody a portion of the sun god, the holy fire? And there are times when, with reverent awe, these simple forest children think they see in the kukui the souls of their departed friends. And now if we leave the forest and enter the gay ballroom of some tropical city, we shall find that the kukui is a cosmopolitan, at home alike in palace and in hut, in forest and city. Not only does he, as a wise little four-year-old friend of mine said, light the toads to bed, but restrained by invisible folds of gauze, he flutters in the hair of the fairest ladies, and rivals those earth stars, the diamonds. But it is hardly fair to show only the bright side, even of a kukui, and in justice I must tell that the sugar planters see with dismay their little torches among the canes. For all the mosquitoes and gnats will do for food and forest where sugar is not to be had. Who would taste them when a field of cane is all before you? Where to choose? Look at this mass of white jelly floating in a bowl of pond water. It is clear and delicate, formed of little globes the size of peas, held together in one rounded mass. In each globe is a black dot. I have it all in my room, and I watch it every day. Before a week passes, the black dots have lengthened into little fishy bodies, each lying curled in his globe of jelly. For these globes are eggs, and these dots are soon to be little living animals. We will see of what kind.  And at last one morning to my delight, I find two or three of the little things free from the egg, and swimming like so many tiny fishes in my bowl of water. How fast they come out now. Five this morning, but twenty tonight, and thrice as many tomorrow. The next day I conclude that the remaining eggs will not hatch, for they still show only dull, dead looking dots. So reluctantly I throw them away, wash out my bowl, and fill it anew with pond water. But before doing this, I had to catch all my little family, and put them safely into a tumbler to remain during their house cleaning. This was hard work, but I accomplished it with the help of a teaspoon, and soon restored them to a fresh clean home. It would be difficult to tell you all their history, for never did little things grow faster or change more wonderfully than they. One morning I found them all arranged round the sides of the bowl, in regular military ranks, as straight and stiff as a company on dress parade. It was then that I counted them, and discovered that there were just sixty-two. You would think, at first sight, that these sixty-two brothers and sisters were all exactly alike. But after watching them a while you see that one begins to distinguish himself as stronger and more advanced than any of the others, the captain perhaps, of the military company.  As a young officer might support his mustache. But these gills, unlike the mustache, are for use as well as for ornament, and serve him as breathing tubes. How the little fellows grow.  The others are not slow to follow their captain's example. Day after day some new little fellow shows his gills and begins to swim by paddling with his tail in a very stylish manner. And now a sad thing happens to my family of sixty-two. Something which would never have happened had I left the eggs at home in their own pond. For there are plenty of tiny water plants whose leaves and stems serve for many a delicious meal to young tadpoles. I did not feed them, not knowing what to give them, and half imagining that they could live very well upon water only. And so it happened that one morning when I was taking them out with a spoon as usual to give them fresh water, I counted only fifty. Where were the others? At the bottom of the bowl lay a dozen little tails, and I was forced to believe that the stronger tadpoles had taken their weaker brothers for supper. I didn't like to have my family broken up in this way, and yet I didn't at that time know what to give them, so the painful proceeding was not checked. And day after day my strongest tadpoles grew even stronger and the tails of the weaker lay at the bottom of the bowl. The captain-throw finally had clear bright eyes, lost his feathery gills, and showed through his thin skin that he had a set of excellent legs folded up inside. At last one day he kicked out the two hind ones, and after that was never tired of displaying his new swimming powers. The forelegs following in due time, and when all this was done, the tail, which he no longer needed to steer with, dropped off, and my largest tadpole became a little frog. His brothers and sisters, such of them were left, for I grieved to say he had required a great many hearty meals to enable him to reach the frog state. Followed his illustrious example as soon as they were able, and then of course my little bowl of water was no suitable home for them. So away they went out into the grass, among shallow pools and into the swamps. I never knew exactly where. And I am afraid that, should I meet even my progressive little captain again, I should hardly recognize him. So grown and altered would he be. He no longer devours his brothers, but with a tongue as long as his body, seizes slugs and insects and swallows them whole. In the winter he sleeps with his brothers and sisters, with the bottom of some pond or marsh for a bed, where they all pack themselves away, hundreds together, laid so closely that you can't distinguish one from the other. But early in the spring, you may hear their loud croaking, and when the March sun has thawed the ice from the ponds, the mother frogs are all very busy with their eggs, which they leave in the shallow water around jelly-like masses, like the one I told you of at the beginning of this story, made up of hundreds and hundreds of eggs. For the frog mother hopes for a large family of children, and she knows, by sad experience, that no sooner are they born than the fishes snap them up by the dozen, and even after they have found their legs and begin to feel old, and competent to take care of themselves, the snakes and weasels will not hesitate to take two or three for breakfast, if they come in the way. So you see the mother frog has good reason for laying so many eggs. The toads, too, by the way, are cousins to the frogs. Come down in April to lay their eggs also in the water. Long necklaces of a double row of fine, transparent eggs, each one showing its black dot, which is to grow into a tadpole, and swim about with its cousins the frog tadpoles. While they all look so much alike that I fancy their own mothers do not know them apart. I once picked up a handful of them and took some home. One grew up to be a charming little tree toad, while some of his companions gave good promise by their big awkward forms of growing by and by into great bullfrogs. End of Section 13.

Goldenrod and Asters. Do you know that flowers, as well as people, live in families? Come into the garden and I will show you how. Here is a red rose. The beautiful bright-colored petals are the walls of the house, built in a circle, you see. Next come the yellow stamen, standing also in a circle. These are the father of the household. Perhaps you would say the fathers. There are so many. They stand around the mother who lives in the very middle as if they were put there to protect and take care of her. And she is the straight little pistol standing in the midst of all. The children are seeds put away for the present in a green cradle at their mother's feet where they will sleep and grow as babies should. Until by and by they will all have opportunities to come out and build for themselves fine rose-colored houses like that of their parents. It is in this way that most of the flowers live. Some it is true quite differently. For the beautiful scarlet maple blossoms that open so early in the spring have the fathers on one tree and the mothers on another. And they can only make flying visits to each other when a high wind chooses to give them a ride. The goldenrod and asters and some of their cousins have yet another way of living and it is of this I must tell you today. You know the roadside asters, purple and white, that bloom so plentiously all through the early autumn? Each flower is a circle of little rays spreading on every side. But if you should pull it to pieces to look for a family like that of the rose, you would be sadly confused about it. For the asters plan of living is very different from the roses. Each purple or white ray is a little home in itself and these are all inhabited by maiden ladies living each one alone in the one delicately colored room of her house. But in the middle of the aster you will find a dozen or more little families all packed away together. Each one has its own small yellow house each has the father mother and one child. They all live here together on the flat circle which is called a disc and round them are built the houses belonging to the maiden aunts who watch and protect the whole. This is what we might call living in a community. People do so sometimes. Different families who like to be near each other will take a very large house and inhabit it together so that in one house there will be many fathers, mothers and children and very likely maiden aunts and bachelor uncles besides. Do you understand now how the asters live in communities? The Golden Rod also lives in communities but yet not exactly after the asters plan in smaller houses generally and these of course contain fewer families. Four or five of the maiden aunts live in yellow walled rooms around the outside and in the middle live fathers, mothers and children as they do in the asters but here is the difference. If the Golden Rod has smaller houses it has more of them together upon one stem. I have never counted them but you can now that they are in bloom and tell me how many. And have you ever noticed how gracefully these great companies are arranged? For the Golden Rods are like elm trees in their forms. Some grow in one single tall plume bending over a little at the top. Some in a double or triple plume so that the nodding heads may bend on each side. But the largest are like great Etruscan elms. Many branches rising gracefully from the main stem and curving over on every side like those tall glass bosses which I dare say you have all seen. Do not forget when you are looking at these golden plumes that each one as it tosses in the wind is rocking its hundreds of little dwellings with the fathers, mothers, babies and all. When you go out for Golden Rod and Asters you will find also the Great Purple Thistle one of those cousins who has adopted the same plan of living. It is so prickly that I advise you not to attempt breaking it off but only with your fingertips push softly down into the purple tassel. And if the thistle is ripe as I think it will be in these autumn days you will feel a bit of softness down under the spreading purple top. A little gentle pushing will set the down all astir and I can show you how the children are about to take leave of the home where they were born and brought up. Each seed child has a downy wing with which it can fly and also cling as you will see if we set them loose and the wind blows them on to your woolen frock. They are hearty children and are not afraid of anything. They venture out into the world fearlessly and presume to plant themselves and prepare to build wherever they choose without regard to the rights of the farmer's plowed field or your mother's nicely laid out garden. More of the community flowers are the immortals and in spring the dandelions. Examine them and tell me how they build their houses and what sort of families they have, how the children go away when the house is broken up and what becomes of the fathers, mothers and aunts.

theCUBE presents Dell Technologies World, brought to you by Dell. Good evening, welcome back to theCUBE's coverage of Dell Technologies World. Live from the show floor in Las Vegas, Lisa Martin, Dave Vellante, we've been here two and a half days, we've unpacked a lot of announcements in the last couple of days, and we're going to be doing a little bit more of that for our final segment. We've got a couple of guests joining us. It's Iqraig, the VP of the technologists, ISG at Dell, and Maggie Kapoor, Director of Storage Product Management at Dell. Guys, welcome. Thank you for having us. So, great to be back in person. I'm sure great for all of you to see customers and partners and your team that you probably haven't seen in quite a while. Yeah. But Iqraig, we want to start with you, VP of the technologists. That sounds like you need to wear a cape or something. Right, yeah, which I do, sometimes. Talk about that role. Right, so our role, we have an outbound part and an inbound part. From an outbound perspective, our role is to ensure that our customers are knowing where we're going from a technology perspective. And we do it via conferences, or customer calls, or via blogs, and think of that nature. But as important, we also have an inbound role to ensure that our employees are knowing where we're going. You can imagine Dell, a very large company, not every engineer or any other role knows exactly what we're doing in that space, especially around innovation. So we also ensure that they understand it internally about where we're going into that nature. And as a side role, I also have a side job which is to be responsible for our container strategy, which I started a couple of years ago, which I'm sure we're going to talk about today. Yeah, that's... Got a side gig, my goodness. That's right. Maggie, lots of announcements in the last couple of days, great attendance here, seven to 8,000 people. Dell's coming off its best year ever, north of 100 billion in revenue in FY22, 17% year on year growth. What are some of the things that excite you about the strategic direction that Dell is going in with its partners, with the hyperscalers, storage, bringing it to the hyperscalers? Yeah, no, lots of great announcements. It's been an exciting week. Like you said, it's been great to be back in person, have these face-to-face meetings, and see the customers have presentations in person. I feel like we haven't done that in forever. So it's felt really, really great. And announcements, it's been an incredible... Like the two keynotes that we had on Monday and Tuesday were both incredible. And so I'd like to talk about a couple of key ones.  And so we're at this cusp where there are customers that are on this journey of developers coming up to speed with multi-cloud being one of the key areas. We've heard that a lot this week, right? And what I loved about Chuck's keynote when he talked about a multi-cloud by default and how we're working to change that to be multi-cloud by design, right? And so what we mean by that is, and DevOps plays a very key role there, right? In the last few years, developers have had this opportunity to pick different multi-clouds and develop the applications wherever they find the right tool sets. But that's creating Havoc with IT operations because IT has worked in it in different ways, right? So what we're trying to do with DevOps is really bridge the gap between the developers and the IT ops and make it more frictionless. And Project Alpine is one of the key ones to make that, you know, to bring that bridge together, really bring that operational consistency across on-prem and the public clouds and colo facilities and edge and everything that we've talked about. So Project Alpine is really key to the success of DevOps that we're driving across. And then the other thing that I would like to call out in terms of announcements, and Chuck bought that up on Monday, was our focus on developers. And we have a portal called developer.del.com, which we announced and launched in January of this year, right? It's, think of that as our one-stop shop for all of our APIs. You heard from Caitlin, you heard from a lot of our leaders that we have been on this journey of having an API first approach to everything we're doing, be it products, be it features, functionality. And so the developer portal is the place where we're putting all of our ISG APIs and not just having a one-stop shop, but standardizing our APIs, which is really key. We just spoke to Shannon Champion and a gentleman from Salesforce, and we talked about how we entered last decade provisioning LUNs, and now we're programming infrastructure. So really interested in your container strategy, your DevOps strategy, how did it start? How is it evolving? Where are you in the spectrum? Where are customers in that maturity? Let's dig in. 2015, I believe was the year when DockerCon, their city went on stage and they explained to their customer that they shouldn't care about storage. They should design their applications running in containers in the 12-factor way, designed to fail. Storage doesn't matter. And I remember scratching my head because I was hearing this one before. If there's one thing that I've learned both as a customer and later on as an employee of a storage company at the time, is that customers care about data and they care a lot about their data, especially if it's not available. It's a bad day for the customer and possibly a very bad day for me as well. And so we actually at the time work with a startup called Cluster HQ to offer persistent volumes for Kubernetes. That startup eventually went down of business, but Google took over some part of the intellectual property and came with an API called CSI, which does not stand for your famous TV show. It's actually an acronym for Container Storage Interface. And the CSI role in life is to be able to provide persistent volume from a storage array to Kubernetes. So we start working with Google, just like many other vendors, in order to ensure that our standards are part of the CSI standard. And we start to provide in CSI interfaces for our storage arrays. And that's how all of these things started. We started to get more and more customers telling us, I'm going all in with Kubernetes and I need you to support me in that journey. But what we've also learned is that Kubernetes, similar in a way to the OpenStack days, is very fragmented. There are many distributions that are running on the top of Kubernetes. So CSI itself is not just the end of it. Many customers won't stay to be working with VMware, with Visfu, with Tanzu, or with Reddit OpenShift, or with Rancher. So we need to do different adjustments for each one of these distributions in order to ensure that we are meeting the customer where they are today, but also in the future as well. Yeah, and Kubernetes back in 2015 was pretty immature. They were focused on simplicity. You had Masos doing more sophisticated things, Cluster HQ obviously, and now you see Kubernetes moving into that realm, tackling a lot of those problems. So where does storage fit into that resiliency equation? Yeah, so I think storage is a key. What we're hearing a lot from customers is they have infrastructure in place already and they want to take advantage of cloud native and modernizing their applications, whether they're the legacy applications or as they're building new applications. So how do they take advantage of the infrastructure that they have invested in and they love and they breed? I mean, the reason why our customers love our products is because of the enterprise and the data management capabilities that we provide. Be it PowerMax for our gold standards on SRDF replication, for instance. They want to make sure that they leverage all of that as they are containerizing their applications. So the piece that Itsik talked about with the CSI plugins, that gives customers the opportunity to take advantage of the infrastructure that's already in place, take advantage of all the enterprise capabilities that it provides, but yet take advantage of cloudifying if I can say the applications that they're doing, right? And then on top of that, we also have what we call our CSI modules, which is the container storage modules, which is so, you know, going back again, we CSI industry specs standards, you know, customers started to use it. And what we heard from our customers was this is great, but it has very minimum capabilities, right? Very basic ones. And we love your enterprise products. We want enterprise capabilities with it. So we've been working with CNCF very closely on, you know, working on contributions, but what we've realized is that the community is still far from delivering some of these enterprise capabilities. So we came up with container storage modules, which is an extension of CSI modules, but to add those enterprise capabilities, you know, be it observability, be it replication, authorization, resiliency, these are the things that customers wanted to use enterprise storage when it comes to containers. And that's what we've been delivering on with our container storage modules. I do want to call out that all of our CSI modules, just like CSI, are all open source. That's what developers want. They don't want it closed source. And so we're listening to them and we're creating all of this in open source, waiting and wanting them to contribute to the code. So it's not just us doing and writing what we want, but we also want the community to contribute. You're committing resources there, publishing them, it's all open source. Okay, that's the contribution. And working with CNCF to see if they can be standardized across the board, not just for Dell customers. Is that a project? Is that your ideal? Is that to become a project within CNCF? That's our goal, yes. We're definitely working and influencing. We'll see how it goes. Just keep throwing committers at it. That's right. Even our support these days is done via Slack channel. So we've been changing the way that we are interacting with our customers that are now the developers themselves via Slack channel. You don't need to call 800 Dell to get a support case. So I'm interested in, you mentioned project Alpine. And it was very interesting to me to see that. You guys talk about multi-cloud. I try to take it to another level. I call it super cloud. And that's the subtraction layer. Some people laugh at that, but it has meaning. Multi-cloud is going to multi-vendor by default. And my premise is data ultimately is going to stay where it belongs in place. And then this mesh evolves, not my word, it's Yamaktagani, kind of invented. And there needs to be standards to be able to share data and govern that data. And it's wide open now. There are no standards there. And I think open sources has an opportunity as opposed to a de facto standard that would emerge. It seems to be real white space there. I think a company like Dell could provide that self-service infrastructure to those data points on the mesh and standards or software that governs that in a computational way. Is that something that's, you know, that super cloud idea is a reality from a technologist perspective? I think it is. So for example, Caitlyn Gordon, which I believe you've interviewed earlier this week, was demonstrating the Kubernetes data mobility aspect, which is another project. That's exactly part of its rationale, the rationale of customers being able to move some of their Kubernetes workloads to the cloud and back and between different clouds. Why are we doing it? Because customers wants to have the ability to move between different cloud providers using a common API that will be able to orchestrate all of those things with a self-service that may be offered via the Apex console itself. So it's all around enabling developers and meeting them where they are today and also meeting them in tomorrow's world where they actually may have changed their mind to do those things. Yes, we are working on all of those different aspects. Dell, meeting the developers where they are. Guys, thank you so much for joining David, me and unpacking that. We appreciate your insights and your time. Thank you so much for having us. Thank you. Yeah, speaking of unpacking, Lisa, we're unpacking the Dell Tech World. They're packing up around us. Exactly, we better go. We want to thank you for watching theCUBE's two and a half days of live coverage of Dell Technologies World.  Thank you, Lisa. Of course. This is really a pleasure. My pleasure too. Let's do more of this. Let's do it. I want to thank you again for watching. You can catch all of this on ReplayOnTheCube.net. We look forward to seeing you next time.


We have here on the panel Peter Bruce Clarke. He's an operating partner at Social Impact Capital, that is a venture capital fund that invests in socially and environmentally responsible startups. He has quite different views on the role of the private sector versus the public sector, so open the debate. Thank you for the introduction, Patrick. I also wanted to say thank you to the World Policy Conference for having me this year. It's actually my first time at this conference and my first time in Marrakesh. And over the last few days, I've just been so astounded by the programming. It's wonderful, so thank you. Since I'm here today as a representative of a venture capital firm, predictably I will be speaking from a market perspective. After all, I do investment every day. And it is our belief that early stage venture capital is a key tool in generating social and environmental impact. But I also want to say that it brings me immense joy to be amongst all of you here today, an informed international community. I love that we more or less agree that climate change exists and that is indeed a crisis in the United States we're unfortunately experiencing a bit of a gap in leadership there. And so many of us as a consequence in business and finance have had to step up. So on the topic of climate solutions, I wanted to say three things. Firstly, the climate crisis is a complex challenge. Secondly, I'm gonna provide real world examples of businesses both in the United States and abroad who are targeting what I think is a humongous market opportunity.  Finally, I wanted to touch on how we're talking about the climate crisis. I believe that there are two ways that we need to narrate it and that there are two ways that we should not. So the climate crisis, it's a complex non-linear multi-industry systems challenge. It requires various different solutions that leverage the best of all worlds and the market. International and national tax on carbon, subsidies to underwrite clean energy we're simply saying that we should use nuclear. A bandaid cannot cover a gaping wound that also fights back. It's like trying to harpoon a giant when what you actually really need is a couple of people with different kinds of darts and ropes to tie it down. What I'm more interested in is how we identify and encourage market solutions which make sense relative to the specific circumstances of countries, the drivers of their GDPs and the extent to which those drivers contribute to climate change. My other basic message is that circular economic ways of thinking will actually be the foundation upon which countries will prosper going into this century. I believe countries who aggressively drive this way of thinking, financially supporting, underwriting and generating huge industries that tackle the climate crisis will be richer than the ones that don't. Outside on a poster I have a McKinsey quote that says the net benefit of adopting circular economic principles could be worth 1.8 trillion to euros to Europeans. I actually wanted to go further than this and say that globally the climate crisis is worth $26 trillion. To put that in perspective the global economy is roughly worth $100 trillion so ultimately that's a fourth of the global economy. Now you might laugh and you might say but you can't make money out of climate change can you? Well unfortunately for you you're wrong. You can and we are. I wanted to give you two examples of businesses tapping into the multi-trillion dollar industry that is climate solutions. The first example is a company which is one of our portfolio companies. It's called Prometheus.  It is the first quote unquote carbon net zero fuel. The cool technology Prometheus uses as a carbon nanoshoot membrane which has many applications across climate and indeed within water desalination too. They will soon produce fuel on price parity with traditional market players and within the next few years the company believes it will be able to produce at a significantly lower price. Prometheus is just but one company is transforming transportation energy markets in a fundamental way. A couple of months ago they actually sold their first jet fuel to a company called Boom Supersonic. Boom will only use carbon net zero fuel from now on. And we're excited because this is a multi-billion dollar investment opportunity. For my second example, I wanted to let you guys into a little secret. This is a plastic recycling company based between Johannesburg and South Africa and in Colorado in the United States. This stealth company can take 90% of plastic, waste plastic and recycle it and turn it into fuel, energy and heat. Plastic just so you know as a higher density than coal and it represents a resource valued at $2.3 trillion globally. Their clients in queue include municipalities, large corporate parks as well as traditional recycling plants. And the cool thing about their solution is that it's very low capex, it's cheap to make, it's modular. One unit can basically process one ton of plastic a day and to increase capacity, you just need to add another one, a little bit like Lego. To put this in perspective, if the company had 200 clients globally, it would be generating somewhere between $100 and $200 million annually. So it sounds like a terrible business, right? So you might've been thinking, so what do these amazing companies have in common? Well to me, these companies are reframing the externality problem.  They say I love carbon, atmospheric CO2 is worth a trillion annually. I love waste plastic, nobody wants it and it's worth $2.3 trillion. The climate crisis is a challenge and it's an emerging set of industries and sectors. So finally I wanted to tackle something head on. We cannot and we should not share some of the participants' view here that it is too late to do anything on the climate front and why should we care? I find that cynicism, frankly, breathtaking. All is not lost, business as usual is not fine and we challenge the stance by financing companies every year that will ultimately disrupt legacy players who choose not to take advantage of the crisis, players who disregard a multi-trillion dollar market opportunity. And you know what? We will try to make millions of dollars doing this. As we like to say at social impact capital, the only thing that stops a bad guy with a business is a good guy with a better business. And I think I wanted to end on just saying that a challenge by definition is both a risk as it is an opportunity, the climate crisis is a market challenge. Thanks. Maybe before we move on, because I was expecting a little bit more and your investment sees this, because how much capital do you want to raise? How much capital do you want to allocate? What type of return are you saying? Do you take any sustainable criteria on your investment thesis? We say well maybe we do a little bit less which will not excite a lot of people. So what is your investment thesis? So our thesis is that we invest globally and regionally. We think that innovation is emerging outside of Silicon Valley and we're frankly very happy about that because valuations are a lot better. We look for companies where the driver of the business model is a social environmental impact. It is internal to the mode of production. It's not something that you just strap on at the end. And so we look for companies across an array of different sectors where actually sector agnostic. We do care about certain causes. We do prioritize certain causes. I personally prioritize by sort of the extent to which a problem represents an existential risk. So typically from climate health care all the way down. But in terms of stages we're basically de-risking impact deals that the traditional market will not take. So how much? How much? So how much, sorry, what was the question? You want to invest? So initially 100 million and then we'll go up from there to 250 up to a billion. We want to deploy hopefully trillions of dollars. I mean not our one firm but at least set a market standard of what people should be investing in. Okay, thank you.


What's up players? What's going on? It's Dan Whitmer from Zendu Fitness and today we're doing an endurance workout What's up players? What's going on Zendu Nation?

I'm gonna stop talking now. Let's work out All right, ladies and gentlemen here we go nothing too fancy today. We're doing an endurance workout So we're gonna be spinning the rope a little bit slower And doing minute long sets with 30 seconds in between so go ahead and follow me here guys I'm just doing regular bounce and sometimes switching it up between running in place also boxer skid maybe a little mummy kick I'm not over exerting myself because remember this is an endurance workout So we're going for longer amounts of time here than our typical, you know 2010 or 3010 we're gonna start adding in some new curriculums here at Zendu fitness to You know help help you guys achieve different goals instead of those just high intensity fat burning workouts We're gonna have workouts like this that are more endurance focused and help to increase your aerobic capacity or your heart strength Allowing you to work out for longer times, but also to burn a lot of fat as well because you're let's face it You're gonna be sweaty when you're spinning the rope for this this long Even if it is at a more moderate intensity All right ladies and gentlemen on to the second round here on to the second round It's important to pace yourself Because you don't want to burn out the idea here is that you're gonna complete this circuit two to three times total So after you get done with this one rest for a minute Complete it two more times if you can okay if you can only plead it to complete it two times total That's fine as well And you know mix it up I like to spin around a little bit here and show you that Less is always more guys look at my body's not really moving a whole lot My wrists are basically controlling the entire rope and you probably can't tell or you sort of can tell from here But I usually try and look at something and focus on it when I'm jumping rope especially for a long period of time All right ladies and gentlemen third one here. Let's go third one Like I always talk about Zendu nation It's not necessarily about the time that you put into your workout. It's about the intensity Okay, so even though I'm going for a longer time period here I'm still pushing myself. You probably can't see it from right here, but I'm super sweaty right now Like my body is still in a in a in a phase of feeling kind of uncomfortable because I'm going I'm pushing my body to that limit and guys remember that's the only way that the body is going to adapt and change Okay, so push yourself push yourself fool Come on ladies and gentlemen Second to last one of this circuit Let's do this.

My name is Nate Adams. I'm the founder of Energy Smart Home Performance and if you're like most people you're asking yourself right now what the heck is home performance. So let me give you a brief description of it. Home performance is basically the practice of making your house perform to the best of its abilities. Home performance is a relatively new term for looking at a house as a whole and as a holistic system. So just like your body is a bunch of different systems, home performance looks at your house as a system and all the different systems in the house and how they interact with each other. Now there are four tenets to home performance. So there's four different things we're trying to accomplish all at the same time. The first one is comfort. The second one is health and safety. The third one is durability and the fourth one is efficiency. So we're going to make your house more comfortable. We're going to improve the indoor air quality. We're going to make it last longer and we're going to make it cost less to run. So those are the four different things. The first tenet of home performance is comfort. So it's important to understand the technical stuff that's behind it. There's two different sides to it. There's keeping the heat in and there's making the heat in the first place. So my job primarily is to keep the heat in which most houses frankly do a pretty crummy job at. Then the second part of it is making the heat in the first place. That's the job of your furnace and your air conditioner. We want to make sure that we don't have too many air leaks in our house. If you have air leaking anywhere it's going to make it uncomfortable. Also if you have temperature differences in the house like you're upstairs is 10 degrees warmer. You're downstairs is 10 degrees cooler. Your basement's an ice cube in the summertime. That's all an indicator that you're going to have comfort problems in your house. So that's one of the things we try to work on. If you can make the temperatures even in the house and you can reduce the drafts you're going to get a comfortable home. Tenet number two of home performance is health and safety. So something we really don't think about is the fact that the air inside of our homes and businesses is actually much dirtier than the air outside our homes and businesses. It's called indoor air quality. So if you have allergies in your house and you notice that they're worse inside the house than they are outside and it's not pet related. The odds are you've got some mold or some sort of other dust that's getting into the house and making you uncomfortable. When we air seal a house we keep the air where it should be. So if it's in the attic it stays there. If it's outside the house it stays there. If it's in the basement it stays down there. So it's very important that all those things get affected. One of the primary things it gets dealt with is too much carbon monoxide in your home.  At very low levels it does have some health effects. So it's something that you want to keep an eye on and it's something that almost no one actually checks for. When you get an energy audit this is actually one of the main things that's taken care of. It's called combustion safety testing. Energy audits and home performance measures when working together they can find and fix the health and safety problems in your house. The third tenet of home performance is building durability. If you've ever been driving through the country and noticed an old barn that fell over or you happen to watch it over several years what was it that usually did the trick? Typically it's the roof failed, water started getting into the building and over time it leaned over and fell. The same thing kills houses. We just don't necessarily know that water is in their killing buildings. So home performance measures can actually help mitigate some of the water problems that your house has and actually make it last longer which is why we say that longevity is one of the tenets. One of the great examples of how home performance can actually extend the life of a home is by looking at ice dams and rotting ruffs. If you live in one of the inner ring suburbs or you have an older home you probably notice that you have large icicles hanging off the side of the house right after a winter storm. That's caused by too much heat leaking but more importantly what it does is it actually rots out the bottom couple of feet of your roof. If we can reduce the amount of ice damming that's happening there we can actually extend the life of the house because we're not rotting the bottom part of the roof. The fourth tenet of home performance is efficiency. So this is one everybody thinks of first it's gonna save me money. If you're curious just how much reduction you can expect most homes are capable of anywhere between a 20 and a 50% reduction in their usage. If you're curious how long it's gonna take you to get your money back from this type of improvements it varies on all kinds of different things. It varies on what the measure is that we're doing, what your type of house is. There's a lot of factors that go in but to give you a ballpark idea typically you're gonna see a return on investment somewhere between five and ten years which works out to about 10 or 20 percent simple interest and keep in mind it's gonna vary on what measure it is what type of house you have there's a lot of factors that go into it. This is really pretty cool because it's essentially guaranteed there's there's no risk on it it's just a matter of how long it's gonna take to get the money back and you aren't going to pay taxes on it because you already did it's after tax money that we're working with.


Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, colleagues, it's a great honor and a pleasure to present to you Dr. Barbara Harrell-Bond. Barbara Harrell-Bond is a legal anthropologist, author, teacher, and staunch advocate for the rights of refugees around the world. She's a seminal figure in the interdisciplinary field of refugee studies. Trained as a legal anthropologist, Barbara Harrell-Bond studied at Oxford under the supervision of anthropologists Edward Ardner and John Beatty. Her engagement with African studies and refugees came later, but her commitment to social justice was clear in her 1967 dissertation, An Ethnography of a Housing Estate in Oxford's Blackbird Lease. She went on to conduct research in Sierra Leone on family law, administrative law, and dispute treatment in customary courts while employed by the University of Edinburgh and Leiden's Africa Studi Centrum. She extended her research in West Africa at the University of Warwick's Faculty of Law. While serving as the representative of the American International Field Staff in 1981, she was introduced to the plight of Sarawi refugees in Algeria. This dominated her interest in humanitarian and refugee issues. Back at Oxford, at the encouragement of Oxford University's Queen Elizabeth House, she established the Refugee Studies Program, now the Refugee Studies Center. Run by a small, dedicated team, this institution quickly became the focal point for academics, practitioners, and refugees themselves. Her research and teaching inspired generations of scholars, including several here at SOAS, and practitioners. She helped found the Journal of Refugee Studies and the Force Migration Review, which are respectively the world's leading academic and practitioner publications on refugees and displacement, and a book series on refugees with Bergheim books. She's also a founder and honorary lifetime member of the International Association for the Study of Force Migration, the leading scholarly association on force migration. Her pioneering work helped establish the study of refugees as an interdisciplinary academic field that aims to influence policy and brings a refugee-centered focus to debates about asylum policy, social integration, and refugee legal assistance. Barbara Harrell Bond is author of the seminal book Imposing Aid, Emergency Assistance to Refugees, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. Based on her research in the 1980s in South Sudan, she makes the simple argument, which she would be the first to agree should not have to be made, that refugees are not helpless victims, but always and everywhere have agency, resilience, and dignity. Showing how badly wrong international and government actors can go when they fail to keep this basic truth in mind, her book, as with all of her work, has served as a call to account for those acting to aid and to protect refugees. Her criticisms are sharp, direct, and meticulously substantiated with evidence. Barbara Harrell Bond has never been afraid to speak truth to power, taking on donor governments, U.N. agencies, particularly the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, large non-governmental organizations, and host governments. Indeed, her bold criticisms, backed by robust evidence, have inspired generations of scholars to hold to account officials charged with assisting refugees. Upon her retirement in 1996, Barbara Harrell Bond continued research in Kenya and Uganda on the extent to which refugees enjoyed their rights. The book that she wrote based on that work, Rights in Exile, Janus-Faced Humanitarianism, co-authored with Guglielmo Verderame, it underlines the importance of legal assistance for refugees. This research led her to establish the Refugee Law Project at the University of Macquarie, as faculty of law, and the Refugee Studies Program at Moir University in Kenya. In 2000, she was invited to establish a refugee studies center offering a graduate degree at the American University in Cairo. There, she started a legal aid NGO for refugees, known as Amera Egypt, which over her eight-year tenure trained some 300 young people to continue their careers in this field. She also helped to establish the African Center for Migration and Society at the University of Vitvaterstrand in South Africa. Many of the strongest and most interesting voices at these centers are academics who are themselves refugees. In 2010, she established and she continues to coordinate the Refugee Legal Aid Information Portal, drawing together essential information needed by lawyers representing asylum seekers, including a network of country of origin experts to provide the objective evidence required to demonstrate that claims are credible. Dr. Harold Bond was awarded the Frans Boaz Prize for exemplary service to anthropology by the American Anthropological Association and the Lucy Meir Medal for Applied Anthropology. She is an honorary fellow at Lady Margaret Hall at Oxford. She was awarded an OBE in 2004 for her service to refugee studies. Barbara Harold Bond is a strong supporter of SOAS's Center of Migration and Diaspora Studies and our two migration-related master's degrees. She regularly gives seminars to our students. Several have worked as interns for the Legal Aid Information Portal and she has helped to mentor SOAS staff as we have built up this important area of research and teaching. Madam President, it is now my privilege to present Dr. Barbara Harold Bond for the award of Doctor of Laws, honoris causa, and to invite her to address this assembly.


So yesterday We had a huge sell-off to levels that we haven't seen since Three weeks ago, but regardless We are now down 31% from all-time highs and my net worth is also down 31% From all-time highs, but what will we do? Where do we go from here? Will the double spend fake news continue holding us down? While Janet Yellen continues to stomp on us There's only one way to find out Hey, what's up Jay here and welcome to Bitcoin Daily bringing you guys the best tips tutorials and ideas to help you become profitable and successful traders the goal of this channel is to empower you with the resources and Knowledge to take you to that next level. So make sure to subscribe like and share this video Also turn on that notification bell so you guys are notified as soon as we post a video five times a week In today's video, we're doing a price analysis on both Bitcoin and Ethereum and then at the end of it We're gonna go ahead and go over some possible trade setups over the weekend depending on what happens Before we jump into the price analysis for Bitcoin and Ethereum We're gonna do a quick recap on the trades that we of course gave you guys on Monday And I know it's been kind of a rough week. It's been up and down, but the trades we gave you guys made profit Let's go over them real quick So the first trade that we gave you guys was a Bitcoin entry at 35k, right? So the entry was right here 35,000 I told you guys I wanted to see a test of this 35k support and then the bounce back over that's exactly what happened guys So we had the test and the bounce back up So the entry was that 35k support and as you guys can see it went all the way up to almost 38,000 It went up to 30 a 37 920 right so if you were to wrote it from that 35k entry to 37.9k you would have made 83 percent profits if you were to use 10x leverage The second entry in case you did not catch that one was a breakout entry above 36,000, right? So the entry would have been Right on this candle when it was breaking out If you would have been able to ride that all the way up to the same spot You would have made about 53 percent profits, right? There was a moment in time where it ran up as you guys can see so it would have broke out it ran up to 37.5 ish 37.6k then it dropped it back down So you would have really been able to take profits and then we entered it at 36 again and wrote it up to that 37.9k and that would have you would have made Basically 50% profits on both if you were able to ride at least most of it, right? Then the next two trades that we gave you guys was for Ethereum So let's take a look here any any theorem and guys watch Monday's video We spoke about this right we spoke about this breakout and we called it exactly so the Entries here that we gave you guys the first entry we gave you guys was a 1200 entry But as you guys can see here Theorem after we put out the video it never tested 1200 again, so we weren't able that entry never triggered so the next entry we gave you guys was above 1250 right so that 1250 mark was basically above the these like the majority of these candles here and Look at that boom that led to this breakout, right? So that 1250 entry if you wrote it all the way up to the top you would have done about 76% profits if you use 5x at leverage like we did and if you miss that one We gave you that next entry which was above this candle right here, right? If you wanted to take a safer entry that it was that 1300 breakout entry and as you guys can see here the 1300 broke out Just like we called it wrote all the way up to that 1440 area for a 50% profits right and You could have definitely after this drop right here You could have entered it again and wrote back up and made even more profits So those are the entries that we took During this week from Monday's video if you guys want to join our trade group We have a link in the description and here We call all these trades in real time with the exact trade plans that we use exact stop losses Where we're taking profits etc etc plus we have a lot more real-time day-to-day trades So let's jump right into this price analysis on a Bitcoin guys So the first thing that we're looking at here the first thing we're gonna We're gonna remind you guys as we look at the monthly chart look at this these monthly charts guys in October Bitcoin did 28% in November Bitcoin did 42% in December Bitcoin did 46% so 42 46 and in January Everybody's panicking guys in January were up 12% on the month and on the year So everybody needs to take a step back and relax R E L A X relax So As you guys can see we've we were still green on a month, right? We are in oversold I mean over a bot territory, but we're still green on the month if we jump down to the weekly Then you can see on the RS I it's starting to come down A bit and we're almost back out of that over bot territory, but we're still currently over but we're right there We're right there guys probably what it's gonna take to get out of that over bot territory is to some consolidation really That's what what it's gonna take. So the last two weeks have been red days As you guys can see down 6% one week down 9% the next week But we opened the month very good. So We're still up overall on the month as you guys can see the bigger picture here on the weekly It seems to be a Bear flag, right? Wow, why is that all that? Why is that so squiggly? I don't know why the line so squiggly right now It doesn't let me draw straight line, but you guys can see here This is a bull flag that's forming here on the weekly chart, right? So if we zoom in a bit here You guys can see this clear channel that we're on and you guys see here this What this current drop has been so far? So we've dropped basically from the all-time high, which is? 42,084 down to the new low, which is 30 I'm sorry 28,002 So it's a thirty one point five six percent drop 13,282 dollars drop right so for every Bitcoin you have you dropped $13,000 basically, but Guys, we're still up.  Let's let's go ahead and take a look back in time You guys know I love to look back in time look back at history because history Teaches us what happened and where we're going next right remember history tends to repeat itself So let's take a look back at 2017 when we went on this initial bull run and What it looked like Right, so the first pullback that we had on that bull run was a 14-day pullback, right? And when that that pullback happened it was thirty three percent drop guys our pullback It's only thirty one percent right then the second pullback that happened in 2017 took about a month. It was about a month long and that pullback dropped 39% right guys our pullback so far is only thirty one percent Then when we had our third pullback of that run It was about another two weeks and that pullback was forty one percent So it seems like it increased little by little right thirty three percent thirty nine percent forty one percent guys our pullbacks only Thirty one percent so far and then the the final pullback before the before we turned it bearish was a four-day pullback Which was around thirty percent that's the only pullback that was less than ours And if you look at every single pullback we've had during every single bull run in Bitcoin's history You will notice that Hours is not that bad thirty one percent the only one that's less than ours is this one right here Which is thirty percent and then also look at in 2017 every time we had a pullback look at the return to New High so we drop thirty three percent then we went up forty nine percent drop thirty nine percent one up sixty five drop forty one went up seventy You know so We've always returned to new highs. This is the first pullback of this run Right, you'll notice that all the all the runs had multiple pullbacks So there's no reason to stop believing in this bull run at this point This is the first pullback of this run this pullback was gonna going to happen We spoke about a pullback eventually coming of around thirty percent because that's the typical pullback And as you guys see thirty percent is not even the typical pullback usually a lot more than thirty percent But because of the fundamentals of Bitcoin at this day and age Thirty percent is the pullback that we were expecting because we were not expecting a pullback of fifty or more percent at this point, right? so Looking at this chart you guys can see that we're currently in this pattern right here down up down So so this is a channel that that we're currently in right? We're in this channel and it's been Respecting this line right so you see that it's respected the tops here tops here top here And it's respected the bottoms right and now just respected that bottom yesterday So we're hoping to see a break of this fifty percent Fibonacci level to take us to possibly the top of this pattern Which will coincide with this next Fibonacci level thirty eight point two percent And that's right at that thirty five thousand mark that we've spoken about so much we've had so much a consolidation here in those areas and It looks like that's going to be if we're able to break through here today and over this weekend It's what's gonna lead up here back to that thirty five K range So once we get here that's gonna be the battle right so we we're gonna we're going to need to break out of there in order to break out of this lower high pattern that we're currently in and to it invalidate it and to you know Possibly make new highs so we spoke about this pattern last week and in this week right on Friday And on Monday's video where we had this high then we had a low then we had a lower high Lower high and now a lower lower low right so we need to Flip out of this pattern so that we can stop you know if not we're gonna continue down on this channel now Going down in this type of channel is a you know or if you look at the big picture It is a bull flag. This is exactly. This is a textbook bull flag This is exactly what a bull flag looks like where it goes up big impulse move up then consolidation within this right Consolidation going down and then a break back up So that break up where that main entry is gonna be is you know that what's gonna Basically confirm the bull flag pattern is if we we can break through that twenty three point six percent Feminace zone right so in this scenario that we don't break up this bull flag and Continue trending down within this channel then we're looking at basically You know possibly bouncing up here and getting rejected back down here and then going lower than than this one So I would expect something lower than than what we just did yesterday Which was 28 so I would probably expect us to possibly reach this Fibonacci level Then maybe bounce here and then test this one if we don't bounce from there, right? So it looks something like this right if we cannot Break the cycle right we're gonna continue to print lower highs Lower lows lower high lower low lower high lower low And that could take us basically all the way down to this Fibonacci Area right here, which is right around that 27,000 mark and then the final target really is where we started off right here And this is that 23 24k and then after that it would be where we broke out into new all-time highs Which is really that 20,000 mark, right? So I do not see us going below 20,000 But it is a scenario that we need to be aware of in the situation that it does happen All right guys, so let's go ahead and take a look at ethereum here As you guys can see here. We basically bounced around We had that triangle and and then this one we actually did break out, you know on the Bitcoin triangle We did not end up breaking out. We broke down, but in this triangle. We definitely did break out I told you guys we're gonna do new all-time highs and we printed new all-time highs now We didn't reach the top of this remember I called for 1600 because unfortunately we had Bitcoin break down and the reality of the situation is that a theorem is like about 98% correlated with Bitcoin So of course with bitcoins breakdown ethereum went down as well, but overall it's held up a lot stronger Than previously before right last time when Bitcoin broke down look how low ethereum went We went down to about 900 this time. We only went about not even we didn't even get to 1000 right so we went to the bottom of the triangle and then currently right now we're Basically breaking back up above and out of this this triangle So if we have a the break up to the upside here if Bitcoin doesn't pull ethereum back again We will definitely retest this all-time high and I believe we will test that 1500 and 1600 level that I Originally mentioned so it's only a matter of time before we get to this level that I that I previously stated It's just it's dependent really on the overall market and on Bitcoin overall Bitcoin is what's basically been pulling down ethereum every time it's gone up So as long as Bitcoin doesn't drop like it did yesterday and if it just Consolidates in a range then ethereum could make a move right as long as Bitcoin is either Consolidating or moving up ethereum what can go up if Bitcoin is dropping down then that's the time when ethereum It's it's difficult for ethereum to continue up with a Bitcoin pulling the entire market down But overall you can see here we zoom into this for our that we had the bounce right here It was the bottom of this triangle range It was also exactly where that 50% Fibonacci level was and you guys can see there that we had the bounce and We basically held was it were held up really by this 38.2 percent Fibonacci zone So we had the nice bounce here and we're currently we broke out of this triangle again And now we're currently testing the triangle as support. So as long as we stay above this line right here we should continue right back up to that 300 that 1300 level and Beyond to retest this off this previous all-time high. So as again, like I said, if Bitcoin Consolidates Ethereum will go back up if Bitcoin moves up ethereum will go back up now if Bitcoin drops down again Then that's a different story and it will push ethereum down like it did yesterday So the levels on ethereum that we're watching in the event that Bitcoin continues with the lower highs and lower lows. It would unfortunately also push down ethereum So the supports right now is currently right around where it's at. So that's at twenty three point six percent Fibonacci level It's that's right around that 1200 zone right then we were going to have this next level, which is 1100 which is also the thirty eight point two percent Fibonacci zone after that We have the 50 percent which is right around this is actually where we bounced yesterday And it's right around that thousand mark, right? So it's a it's a little bit before 1000 It's around ten thirty thousand thirty, but it's right around that that area. Remember their zones their areas and not exact numbers And then below all of that in the worst-case scenario that we continued to drop, right? We have this support right here that held us up there held us right here So and this also happens to be the sixty eight point eight percent Fibonacci golden ratio, right? So that would be as far as I think we would go and that's around at nine fifty area So I would I would believe that we would be able to hold above that unless something, you know Really crazy happens. So regardless guys if you guys look at the year to date down here in ethereum guys Ethereum is up sixty six point five six percent year to date and this in the past month It's up sixty eight percent in the last three months up one forty percent the last six months up to nineteen percent and last year It's up five hundred percent God the theorem is strong. Alrighty guys. I hope you guys are enjoying this video so far next We're going to talk about some trade setups for this weekend. So stay tuned Make sure to Subscribe and like this video guys if you're enjoying it also turn on that notification bell because like this video We're about to give you some trades and you don't want to miss out on these trades So turn those on let's jump right in. Alright, so the first thing that we're gonna watch here is of course Bitcoin We're currently watching This right here. So you see how we have this resistance here, which is also that Fibonacci level, right? So that's that fifty percent Fibonacci level We've had the bounce off the golden ratio here that sixty one point eight percent So we want to see a break above this. So what I'm looking for the first entry I'm gonna be watching is a break right above these candles right here and The Fibonacci zone and since we're so close already to this 33k zone Which is that big hole number that you know that we love we're gonna use that level as our Main level to enter on the breakout of right. So the entry is gonna be on a break of 33,000 right that's the breakout entry that we will have the next entry will be a support entry So the support entry is going to be at that 30k level in in the event that we continue to kind of Consolidate within this these two ranges, right? I'm looking to buy the bottom of this range Really bottom of this range is gonna be that 30k mark, which is the golden ratio So if we have a pullback back to 30k, I'm looking for an entry there at 30k, right? But like you you know how we like to enter we want to see it kind of go under and then bounce back up You want to buy the bounce you don't want to buy the drop because a drop could go on forever As you guys can see here, but the bounce is Way more profitable. So we're looking to buy that bounce and that's basically it That's what we're gonna be watching in Bitcoin this weekend. The next one in Ethereum we're kind of watching a similar thing here. We're watching a break of Around it's probably gonna be around the top of that candle. That's around at 12 1260 range, which is also kind of the top of this So if you want to make it a little bit, you know a better of a level 1260 is just kind of random So we're gonna watch around 1280 1280 a break of 1280 should definitely take us to 300 and beyond right if you want the safer entry to make sure that we're bouncing then 1300 is definitely the one I believe a break of 1300 could take us back to these all-time highs and then Down here, I'm gonna be looking for if if we can stay on this support here If for some reason we were bouncing around here I'll be looking for an entry around here, which is that 1200 area, right? So anything around 1200 maybe even something above 1250 but 1250 is gonna be a little a little more risky You see the high here was 1255 and then the drop back down. So it's a little too risky for me I don't want at least for a breakout minimum above this candle right here The safer the safer entry would be that 1280 and the safest would be above 13, right? That's pretty much it for that if for some reason we do drop down here again Then I'm looking for entries at 1100, which is basically around this support right here So those are the entries that I'll be looking for over the weekend in Ethereum. Alrighty guys, I hope you have enjoyed this video I know it's been a crazy roller coaster of a week But hopefully we'll have some more steady waters this weekend. I hope you don't see nothing too crazy, right? Only if it's to the upside would I allow something crazy at this point, but hopefully the waters are a little chill Everybody's kind of gassed on what happened over this week and maybe everybody will just kind of calm down a little bit That's pretty much it guys. I hope you enjoy your weekend have an amazing Friday have an amazing weekend I will see you guys on Monday as always guys peace and love
