Lipton tea and Lipton soup present in a sanctum mysteries Good evening friends of the inner thank you This is Raymond your host at the squeaking door come in. Won't you? Well, you're shivering cold Well, don't let it throw you just remember that many are cold, but fewer frozen Well our story to be different tonight is about murder murder and a clock So if you've got a little time to kill let's do it now Why mr. Raymond nobody can really kill time. Well, maybe not but you certainly can frighten it didn't you ever hear of an alarmed? Clock mr. Raymond some day you're going to choke on one of those puns and won't that be nice Mary Then you can revive me with guess what Lipton tea Oh dear must this go on a week after week Why must I talk to the only person in the world who doesn't know the proper uses of Lipton tea? Oh, don't say that isn't used to revive people at least not in the way you mean it Of course lots of folks do find that Lipton's makes the day seem brighter Yes It sort of helps them through their housework to sit down now and then between Meals as well as at dinner and supper and enjoy a cup of Lipton tea and the reason why Lipton's is so Satisfying is because of that one little word brisk B-r-i-s-k T experts say that Lipton's has a brisk flavor which means that it always tastes tangy and bracing It's never flat or wishy-washy So folks ask for Lipton tea at your grocers You just don't know how good tea can be till you've tried Lipton's Yes, and when you leave the grocer step next door to the clockmaker shop and ask him for a Judas clock If he doesn't have it on hand just to ask him to give you the works Yes, the title of tonight's story is the Judas clock It's an original radio play by that old clock watcher Christopher Mayo Now a star is Barry Kroger who plays the role of Sebastian Packer I'm a clockmaker. I carry on the profession my father taught me in London I like clocks All that is but one For 30 years, I've looked for a certain clock and a certain man The clock is known to collectors as the Judas clock The man I swore to kill when is a boy of 14 I closed my father's glazing eyes and wiped the froth of blood from his lips Last night I found the Judas clock Tonight I may have found the man You told you're an expert clock repairman, Mr. Rump Packer madam. Well, yes, I suppose. Well, I have a clock rather my husband has and it hasn't run for years Would you have a look at it? Well, don't you bring it in? Heavens know it weighs 500 pounds One of those huge marble things Italian Renaissance, I'd say Italian Can you describe it further? Well, it's rather unusual black marble heavily carved with biblical characters The ivory face has a beautifully etched scene on it, but it's a gruesome one gruesome What kind of a scene it's a picture of a man hanging from a tree Judas His face is positively ghastly The Judas clock I knew without seeing at why the clock wouldn't run It had been built in Italy for a prince of the house of Savoy in 1598 He conceived the idea when he discovered that his family's treasures included the 30 pieces of silver of Judas' scarlet The clock was made to run only when the 30 silver coins of Judas were in place in the clock's hollow weights 15 in each weight and The coins had been in my possession since the day of my father's death Somewhere inside me that clock still beats its deep-throated song And I have but to close my eyes to hear again my father's voice Mr. Packer, can you fix it? Oh, I'm sorry. I was daydreaming. Yes. I does mr. Arnold Arnold does mr. Arnold know that you're having the clock repaired. No, we've only been married a few weeks And I'd like to have it working when he comes back to town tomorrow sort of a surprise. Yes, I see And I'll be there in half an hour. Mrs. Arnold So last night I went to the Arnold house and found the Judas clock again. I started to work Fog horns from the East River sounded much as I remembered they did in London And suddenly I was back there on a fateful day about a fortnight after the clock had been uncrated by my father. I Was in the shop and the man from Scotland yard stepped in He walked straight to the clock and stared at it. Good afternoon, sir Is the clock interest you very much? When did you acquire it? The cousin bought it at an auction in Italy and I'm displaying it for sale and consignment My name is Pettibone Scotland yard. He's been looking for this clock for a month. It was stolen in Italy Stolen. Yes, mr. Baker and worse murder was done Fraud you're involved in a bit of something here Murder I'm taking possession of the clock in the name of the crown I shall never forget the look of horror on the detective's face a moment later He laid his hand on the clock's carving and it froze there while its face drained white and his eyes bulged He opened and closed his mouth soundlessly and crumpled to the floor with his hands to his throat he was still and twisted and Very dead Mr. Pettibone had died of a heart attack the moment he took possession of the clock. I Helped father drag him into the stock room father wanted time to think so I went to my room. I Dozed off only to wake hours later at the sound of angry voices Well cousin Andrew you've done me a fine turn, haven't you? I've told you I didn't mean to kill the old girl It was an accident don't talk so loud boy will hear us you kill it as soon as you learn She'd made out a will in your favor then when you thought it was safe You saw all her furnishings and sent the clock to me to sell very well. I did you're in it to the ears I'd go to the police And how will you explain poor stiff mr. Pettibone lying in your stock room all this while? I besides Timothy there's nothing to fear now Pettibone's gone.  Pettibone? Hey, I have a plan here sit down in this chair right here I'll show you how we can solve the whole thing My young heart beat with a wild dread as I listened I could only see cousin Andy's back But I could see father seated dejectedly in the chair near the Judas clock his head in his hands It was midnight All the clocks in the shop began striking the hour and louder than all the rest was the chime of the evil clock If only then I'd known I might have done something but the slow strokes beat on eight nine ten And before my horrified eyes the heavy marble piece lean slowly from the wall and crashed across my father's back Facing my father's the crust is frail form and choked him He made pitiful little sounds his eyes begging for life and the murderer just stood back to me What's hungry sinners you die hard? Because Landy ran from the shop crying for help. He would claim an accident. I raced into the shop My father was dead. I Choked back my tears and I closed the poor staring eyes I took the coins of Judas from the weights of the clock and ran from the shop the blood stained pieces jangling merrily in my pocket Armed with the notion that the coins were of value and the definite notion that I must eat Approached one of the many dingy little curio shops in the limelight district. I Steped through the fog taught a shop where a dim light burned in the rear Every inch of wall and ceiling was hung with curios old armor swords and shields I would have run out But a wheeze and apish man barked at me from the rear. What do you want? I Have something to sell what you got. I have the 30 pieces of silver that belong to Judas is scary it I'll twist a scrawny neck off you're pulling me like a oh no, sir. I'm not pulling your legs, sir. Here they are Silver right now Where'd you cut them? Oh, I didn't steal them sir. They they belong to my father It'll likely tell that Will you buy them? Buy me says Buy him Get down to me before I cause a bobby a scam get out.  Oh, don't say that Mary. Just think if you had the Judas clock then Time wouldn't hang Evelyn. You know it would fall, honey Well, if it did fall and you rescued me, wouldn't that make you a time saver? Well split my sides with an axe if Mary didn't make with a joke. Well a very little one, Mr. Raymond That's true But seriously, I do have something to say about a time saver And I'm thinking about Lipton tea You know Lipton's is such a handy beverage it takes a little time to prepare and it's always so welcome Yes, it's famous brisk flavor makes it enjoyable not just at your own meal times But between meals and whenever folks drop in for a visit That's why it's a good idea to buy Lipton's in the larger more economical size packages That's right. The larger packages are much thriftier So you see it's wise to keep on hand a really good supply of that brisk flavored Lipton tea Oh, sure. It'll come in handy to warm up the chills you get from these inner sanctum stories and brother You're going to shiver plenty with Barry Kroger as Sebastian Packer as this story goes on about the Judas clock I hadn't touched those horrible coins of Judas Iscariot since the day the storekeeper was killed By now I have believed the legend that death followed them I began to feel that the only way I could escape their curse Was to find the Judas clock and put the coins back in its weights where they belonged One day as I read the notices in the times my heart skipped a beat it said auction of clocks It's choke in place auction rooms Saturday at 7 Rare items one of them fine italian renaissance piece of black marble Rare treat for collectors come early Interested in something young man. Oh why uh, yes. Well, that is nothing in particular Uh, just looking at these splendid pieces. I thought I might stay for the auction. Hmm Look about Auction won't start for a bit yet. I sauntered toward the black clock My hand had scooped all the coins from my pocket. I would have to work fast and noiselessly My sweating fingers began to unscrew the small cover on one of the weights I would soon have the coins put back as I thought What have you got in your hand there? Let's have a look. No, nothing. Nothing at all. I'm just examining examining my foot You've got a flock of coins there. You must have taken them from somewhere in the clock No Sometimes when things happen quickly the mind retains details that would otherwise escape notice As the men and I struggled I dropped the clock's weight It hit a short round bit of metal directly below it The man had a vice like grip on my clenched hand. He lasted little rich.  The clock was off balance and began to fall forward. I screamed a warning The auction man was dead Mashed to a pulp of bone and blood beneath the clock As my father had been I ran to the door and out into the street I was right back where I'd started Only now I knew that my father had been murdered By cousin and I walked for miles trying to pull myself together I wandered aimlessly Oh, so I thought But fate had traced my path before me Because I was startled to find myself staring into the shop window of a rare coin dealer named megaroid I walked into the shop Mr. Megaroid was a nice little man He smiled a bit quizzically at my firm belief that I possessed the betrayal coins of judas I poured them onto his counter Oh, I say you could be right, you know Well, these are the right era I say suppose they are let me put a glass to them. Mr. Megaroid, would they be worth a great deal? Even if they weren't the well, let me see. Let me see Yes gracious. Yes, they should be worth a great deal as collectors items alone. Well, uh, mr. Megaroid I feel that there's something I should tell you about these pieces. They yes Oh, it's not important. Oh, well now just a moment. I have a catalog on this here in my show window. I'll figure just a chiffy The coins lay on the counter I watched mr. Megaroid run down the aisle as he approached the display window his foot caught in an electric wire Which lay across the floor the lights went out and I saw him pitch forward The streetlight peered through the broken plate glass And played across a grotesquely sprawled form in the show window I needed no more light than there was to see what had happened The upper half of the heavy plate had broken and dropped flat against the solid lower half There was no need to ask how he was No guillotine could have done the neater job Mr. Megaroid Had no head I shall find out if mr. Arnold is cousin andrew If he is I shall feel no remorse in killing him tonight Because while working to repair the judo's clock last night I discovered how my father's accidental death had been well conceived diabolic murder When the right hand weight reached the floor of the clock on the 12th stroke of midnight It tripped a trigger Which collapsed the base of the clock and caused it to fall forward My father had died on the 12th stroke of midnight Have you finished mr. Packer? No, mrs. Arnold. I should have to come back tomorrow night What time do you expect mr. Arnold tomorrow about 11? I'd say will you be finished by then? Well, I uh, I think so I'll have to take these weights to the shop with me though. There's something has to be added to them Well, of course, mr. Packer mr. Arnold will be so surprised to see the clock running won't he? He'll be very surprised mrs. Arnold I've put the coins in their place within the weights Not 15 in each weight, but 15 in one and 10 in the other The other five coins are in my pocket In another pocket. I have a small 38 although. I don't plan to use it eight o'clock And I Have a 30 year old date Good evening. Oh Mr. Packer. Yes, but I'm closing now. I see you are My name is Arnold just came in from chicago Sorry to spoil your little surprise Or my wife's rather you You surprised her instead. Yes, she had to confess I wanted to go out so she had to tell me about engaging you to repair the jeweler's clock You don't want it to repair. Why all means I insist. It's a splendid idea But what I came for really was to tell you that you and I have much to talk about. Oh, do we? Yes But look close your place and bring along whatever you need to fix the clock and we'll talk about it at my place I'm all set. Let's go You'll have it fixed in time to strike midnight. Oh, yes. Yes, it will strike at midnight And well there we are mr. Arnold Waits are in place. Let's see exactly 10 minutes before midnight set the hands And just a little shove on the pendulum so And the jeweler's clock ticks again It's an either clock the jeweler's clock wakes from a 30 year sleep Hey cousin sabastra cousin. Well, that's what I wanted to tell you My wife told me your father owned this clock in london. Oh, I well, yes, I was your father's cousin Your sabastre packer the little boy who ran away that night cousin hendry.  So that was why I didn't find you in your room afterward It happened so fast We were sitting talking The clocks were striking 12 Suddenly the base of the clock seemed to cave in and I know I bought the clock at an auction a few years later Had it all fixed It's good and solid now I saw to that Yes, sir. Well, I I suppose I run along now because nandy and nonsense nonsense Let's make up for lost time and get acquainted. Well, come now. I have some fine old port from england here I wrote sit down a while. No, no, no, not that chair. No, this one's a lot more comfortable That's a funny thing When you work with clocks as long as I have You will get to Philosophizing about time. That's all How?  No Do you well? uh three hundred and fifteen million three hundred and sixty thousand seconds in ten years and the uh nine billion four hundred and sixty million and eight hundred thousand Seconds in 30 years You've got quite a mechanical mind, Sebastian Yeah, try this pot.

Raymond if you're afraid of clocks that tick Why don't you try to get hold of one of those old egyptian water clocks? Oh, Mary Now you're going to tell me that when tea time comes around the water begins to boil in the clock That would be quite an invention But no mr. Raymond right now. I'm not going to talk about Lipton tea Instead i'm going to tell our listeners about an important job that lies ahead A fight that's far from finished. Yes the battle for japan Our government says that this specific war will be one of the most bitter and difficult in history Never before has the nation fought so far away from its own shores And to support this fight we at home must work even harder at our homefront activities We must keep on buying more and more bonds and we must hold on to them And above all we must stay on our war job until the job in the pacific is over Well, I'll leave you with a cheerful timely moral. Oh that goes with tonight's story. No extra charge now You can figure out how many seconds you've lived All right. That's your past time But you can't figure out how many you've got left. That's just uh sometime Well, I'll see you in just 604 800 seconds from right now. Hmm Well, that's next Tuesday night at nine o'clock, of course By the way this month's inner sanctum mystery novel Is the lucky stiff by craig rice Well, now it's really time to close out their squeaking door until next Tuesday night when Lipton tea and Lipton soup bring you another inner sanctum mystery Directed by hymen brown So until then Good night pleasant dream Hmm Folks if you'd like to give the boys overseas a real taste of home Then why not include a package or two of Lipton's noodle soup mix the next time you send them a box of food?

If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. And that is Circle CEO Jeremy O'Lear pretty much just came out and said, you know what? I think the path forward is a digital dollar, aka a CBDC. And maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way and we'll take a look into what he said. But to me, I don't think it's really good. But before we get into that, let's just take a look at not the market itself, but just to see how things are going. Now we've had quite a little bit of a ride with the different bank collapses and the reapplication and the stocks going up and everybody getting made whole. So how did that work out for crypto? Well, we had quite a little bit of a run. And if we're taking a look at just risks, I always like to take a look just quickly at Ben's site. And it's like, it gives us a nice little summary and it takes a look at the price metrics, on-chain metrics and social metrics. Give us overall risk factor and it's pretty low, 0.24. But what I like to do is kind of just drill down and just take a look at how things are going as far as risk levels. Now for Bitcoin, we can see that right now, the latest risk value is 0.40. Which is pretty much a little bit higher than in the middle. And if we take a look at what that means as far as like time and risk bands, 0.40 is actually on the other side of the cliff to where things are kind of heating up. So this to me is not a date to where I'm gonna sell a bunch or buy a bunch. It was gonna dollar cost average. But again, when I start to see like we go into these 0.1 band levels or 0.7, 0.8, 0.9. That's when I start to look at either dynamic DCang, which is buying more or selling off a little bit more. And then also, because of what's happening lately, of course, CPI numbers came in and it looks like they were just on target, which everybody was happy about. So the risk level, if we take a look at it, it's dead smack center. It's neutral. So Fearing Grade Index, this is to me, not the time to do a bunch of different trades, I'm not a trader anyhow.  But to me, it just looks like a day just to keep going. What does that mean? Well, as time has gone on, I think some people have taken a bit of profits. Because over 24 hours, you see Bitcoin down about almost 5%. But a heck of a run, 7 days, 13%, Ethereum and so on and so forth. I think everything's down today because, look, people are going to tell you diamond hands and diamond hand this, diamond that. And you can do that. But not honestly, sometimes it's better to take a little bit of profits, which I personally did a couple of days ago on some alts. And we'll see how that works out in the future. So that's what we have in the market. Now let's get into the story. And this was a tweet from CEO of Circle, also Circle USDC, which was DPEG recently, but hit back to its peg. And Jeremy comes on and says this, look, moving to a full reserve dollar digital currency is our best hope to insulate the internet financial system from the systemic risks embedded in the fractional reserve bank system. There's a nice little article. I'll link it in the description. You can check it all out. But really what he's saying is this, I'm going to read this one more time. Moving to a full reserve dollar digital currency is our best bet. What I think Jeremy is trying to do here is hedge his bet and go, look, we are a digital dollar. You can use us as Circle. You don't have to use CBDC. But essentially what he's saying is, let's do a CBDC. Now I know he wants his company to be picked out. But when you start to talk about these things, there's some people in the comments will just say, look, this guy's playing his cards right now. We're starting to see what he wants to do. They've been working with the government, not saying that's wrong. But for me, when I take a look at this, I'm like, man, are CBDCs just inevitable? And what we have to really break down first, of course, is what the X is CBDC. So just so you know, right now, here's how it works.  And this is what they want to do. In the future, it's just going to be the central bank, essentially to create zeros and ones in the computer, which they do anyhow. But it's going to be a ledger, essentially a ledger, not a blockchain. You can call it a distributed ledger, but it's just going to be a ledger on these different central banks. And maybe some of the large banks will be the middle person, I don't see the smaller ones going out, and it's going to go right to you. And they can do whatever they want with those zeros and ones. Now, the one thing that Jeremy did talk about, which I have to agree, is fractional reserve banking. This will definitely help if we have a fully collateralized. Because what he's talking about here, a reserve digital currency has our best hope to insulate as far as the risk of fractional reserve banking.  But this is a real little recap. If you put in $2,000, then the bank, and this might have changed, I always get this confused, it's 90% or 100%. But they can take that money and loan it out to $1,800.  Well, they're going to have it from other people. But if everybody goes to the bank and they start loaning out all these different funds to everybody, guess what?  And that's what we saw with Silicon Valley Bank and others. Because there was a run of the bank and they were loaning out, that is fractional reserve lending. And the thing that got to me is this. Jeremy looks like he wants to go for a CBDC. He wants USDC to be that digital dollar. I don't think the government's going to go for that, but I could be wrong. But he talks about having everything collateralized. And this was actually a statement from Custodia Bank. And this is Caitlin Long's bank, a matter of fact. And she has to agree here. She goes, look, if we backed everything by dollars, would be okay. And she states right here, the US urgently needs to put in place safe business model to the banks that bank the fast moving industries, like that proposed by Custodia, which is in Wyoming. So that the Federal Reserve does not need to backstop such banks, Custodia proposed to hold $1.08 in cash for every dollar deposited by its customers. And I can see where she's going with this. I can see where Jeremy is right, CBDC's sure. I mean, I don't think it's going to work out. But the last part is this. If you think that that sounds like a good idea, why don't we just do that? Why don't we just have everything collateral? And then we don't need CBDC's. Maybe we can just have the central banks or the banks themselves just overcollateralize and not do fraction reserve lending. Well, they already tried it and it failed. This is an article from 2019 in Bloomberg. A link in the description. The Fed versus the narrow bank. This is in March of 8th. And what it came down to is this. The idea of the narrow bank or TNB, TNB, the narrow bank, is that you can open an account with them. It'll take your money and park it at the Fed, Fed Reserve, and that's it. The Fed will pay it 2.4%. It'll take a small cut and it'll pass the rest on to you. That makes sense to me. Makes sense to I think everybody. Cause like, well, that seems very safe. Fed has so far refused to open an account for TNB. TNB, and they said this is our objections. The first is macroeconomic. The Fed worries that narrow bank could mess with the implementation of monetary policy because they can't expand. Because if they succeed, they will keep a lot of money at the Fed increasing the size of its balance sheet. Number two, it worries that narrow banks will take funding away from regular banks, making it harder for those banks to trade stocks and bonds, again, fraction reserve. And number three, and the most important one, in times of stress, which we just saw, everyone will flee from the regular banks to the super safe narrow banks, which will have the effect of bringing down the regular and big banks. And that's essential we have. So if people think themselves, oh, this sounds like a pretty good idea, essential banks are always said, no, we're not gonna go for that. And we're gonna keep this up and not approve anybody's charter, which is what they did with Castoria Bank because we don't want it, because we see problems and we wanna do a CBDC. And lastly, I will just say this. We had Simon Dixon on the show yesterday, and if you want, and he's a gentleman who's been in crypto for a long time, but also a person who tried to start with his own bank earlier times, and he's gonna talk about just how difficult it is, just what the central banks want, and it's gonna be CBDCs, and he talks about how it's pretty much inevitable. So I'm gonna link that, link in the description, and also, if you don't think that these CBDCs are coming, watch Guy from Coin Bureau. He's got three videos out over the last three days. I'll link in the description, and you can be your judge on that one. So let me know what you think about that in the comments section. I will just lastly say this. There's only one way out of CBDCs, because what could happen potentially?  They can do whatever you want, total control, right? But you can opt out of that, and we have that perfect opportunity with crypto and digital assets. So for me, I think it's gonna work out just fine as long as people hear the message. Anyhow, let me just think about that in the comments section, and we'll finish up with a couple of things which is macro-wise, meta, or what was called Facebook is wanting down NFT support on Facebook and Instagram. Just so you know, there's no word on when, or if at all, meta will completely cut ties with NFTs. Company will still plan to integrate financial technology into its platform, but that's, I think, a blow to the industry because it's still a pretty large company as they cut ties and allow people to use NFTs. Also, meta in the news, again, they're gonna lay off 10,000 workers. And this was actually after they laid off 11,000 employees in November. I think they have around 86,000, so through the math there, that's a lot of jobs lost in that sector. Zuckerberg pit 2093 is meta's year of efficiency. So the things that the Fed is doing, maybe it's working, but we've seen that the unemployment rate has gone up just a little bit. And unfortunately, that's the positive sign that the Fed is looking for. And lastly, lastly, I would just say this, that remember how meta was involved in a tussle with the SEC because they wanted to get out their own blockchain called Libre, well, it didn't work out too hot. But they didn't stand up to the government, unfortunately, and now they just stuck and relegated to doing what they're doing. I appreciate the people that do stand up to the governments. We have Grayscale, which is fighting them. They brought them to court, the SEC, for not allowing a spot ETF, only a futures ETF. Of course, the Ripple case, Kraken tried to do his job. And then lastly, one of the things that I like to see is Coinbase actually stepping up and saying, look, we know that there's a problem with Kraken and what they were potentially doing as far as taking, but if you want to handle this in court, we have no problem. So I appreciate the ones that do that. And I'll let that, I'm gonna add one more to the list and that is Sweatcoin. So I sat down with Oleg Fomenko, co-founder of Sweatcoin and he told us that the crypto, which was already launched globally, but was left out of the United States, is coming on September 12th, 2023. So I just sat down with him and said, how'd you do that? Why'd you do that? Because this isn't a really good time. And he set me straight. The big news was this, we talked about a couple of weeks ago, which I honestly, when you told me that you were coming into the US with the securities and all the different things with Gary Gensler, I thought, well, okay. I mean, he said 2023, but I'm like, maybe they'll push 2024, but you didn't. It looks like the September 12th, the Sweat wallet, the cryptocurrency wallet is coming to America. So everybody that has accumulated their Sweat coins can now put those into Sweat, the crypto. So just talk to us real quick about that and then we'll get into like some roadmap and some other things. Sure, absolutely. And despite the kind of the scary nature of what's going on in the US and kind of all the kind of recent events, actually there is quite a lot of clarity that is emerging around types of products and propositions that kind of US regulators are having issues with. What also emerges very loud and clear is that the remit or the objective of their existence is to protect US investors or US retail from crooks and thieves and scammers, et cetera, et cetera. And kind of one of the things that we're realizing is the nature of current enforcement is that it feels like that objective but to proceed it with something a lot simpler which is okay, just whack them all, anything picked up. And in many ways, they're right. They're totally right because we let sort of fox in the chicken house. There are a lot of examples of unscrupulous and just frankly nefarious projects and individuals out there. However, I think that we also have grown ups and if you really put your main principle at heart to protect US retail and US citizens from harm then you start thinking, okay, what is the definition? What actually needs to be happening and what does the project need to do in order to be able to accuse of causing this harm? And one of the things that we're doing extremely well and all around the world is we're actually making the world more physically active, making people move forward. We are able to monetize this user base not by charging them, not by extracting value from their pockets, but monetizing this business and effectively giving these users value from their physical activity. So it is going to be an extremely difficult and a very onerous thing to do to kind of accuse us the project of kind of that whose goal and whose mission has always been to make the world more physically active of coming into the US for the benefit of kind of extracting value and pulling it from people's pockets. We would like to be regulated. We would like to be fully compliant. We would like to be able to bring the value that we have in other countries in the world into the US, but we are fully realistic that in the given situation, if you follow the path that you supposedly should follow, you're just not going to result in absolutely anything kind of constructive and it will set us back by multiple years. What we would like to do is come in an absolutely good faith and do everything to make sure that there is no opportunity to claim that we are doing anything wrong and we are operating in any way in a different fashion as if we were regulated in the United States. It is definitely a risk-based decision, but we would like to have a constructive dialogue with regulators where they understand that, again, we're not coming in with nefarious objectives or whatever, but we're coming in because the market needs us. The market asks for us and we are doing absolutely everything to make sure that we are compliant and taking absolutely every box, with exception of probably actually the box being ticked and the paper being signed, which we know has not happened ever. Ever. So a great answer, a couple of things. What you just said is exactly what all the centralized exchanges and every single crypto product out there wants to do. They want to be compliant. They don't want to be on the bad side. They don't want to do the right things, but there is no clarity being given.  And the only thing I talk about on this channel are the things that I actually own. When you say things like we monetize in a certain way, we're not monetizing you, you have to understand, and we talked about this in the deep dive video. And this is actually the question number three, the revenue generation of how you do these things. One of the things right now for everybody who was watching this video at home, you probably watch this on YouTube. And before you watch this video, there was an ad and there may have been two or three ads. And that's one of the ways in which they monetize their app. They don't sell your data or anything like that. They do those things. And also there's different products that you can purchase within the app itself, which is how they also monetize. So it's a little bit different that you may have heard of like other move to earn type of programs where you have to like purchase a very expensive NFT or actually now a cheap NFT. It's not like that. Everything's free from the beginning. You earn those tokens. Those are your tokens and you can use them in a certain way. But you guys have figured out a way to monetize it. And that's why you were one of the, you're either one or number three of the top apps in the global for health and fitness for 2022. I think that's one of the reasons. Was I often anything I said, Oleg? No, it's absolutely spot on. So the full interview, I'll release that over the weekend but a lot of good information there. And of course, yes, I am super biased. I have a lot of sweat coin. I was an early investor into sweat coin. So there should be no surprise. Anybody could talk about all the time. And then if you were looking to take a look at that free app, there's a link in the description. It looks just like this. And you can use it and download unfortunately right now still takes 3000 steps to get to one step. And that's one of the changes that it's done. So that's it for today. I will just say that tomorrow we've got the NFA live with me and Ben from the Cryptiverse and Guy from Coin Bureau. And that'll be at nine AM Eastern. And we've got a lot of things to talk about. But that is it for today's show. So look, if you like today's video, give it a thumbs up, like it, subscribe, all that good stuff. But I do appreciate you stopping by. Thanks so much. And I'll see you on the next one.


It is a hopeful sign of the times when entire issues of cardiology journals are not just dedicated to nutrition, but to plant-based diets in particular. Dr. Williams, past president of the American College of Cardiology, starts out with a quote attributed to Schopenhauer. All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as like, well, duh. And the truth for the benefits of plant-based diets, plant-based nutrition continues to mount. The evidence we got, the problem is the inertia. Culture, habit, and widespread marketing of unhealthy foods. Our goal must be to get the data out to the medical community and the public working and actually change lives. That's like my personal life's mission in four words, get the data out, right? Based on what we already know in the existing medical industry, plant-based nutrition clearly represents the single most important yet underutilized opportunity to reverse the pending obesity and diabetes-induced epidemic of morbidity and mortality, meaning disease and death. The issue included your typical heart disease reversal cases. 77-year-old woman with heart disease so bad she couldn't walk more than a half block or go up a single flight of stairs, severe blockages, and all three of her main arteries. And her referred to open-heart surgery for a bypass. She chose, however, instead to adopt a whole-food plant-based diet, which included all vegetables, fruits, whole grains, potatoes, beans, legumes, and nuts. Even though she said she was trying to eat pretty healthy before, within a single month of going plant-based, her symptoms had nearly resolved. And forget about a block. She was able to walk on a treadmill for up to 50 minutes without just chest discomfort or becoming out of breath or her cholesterol dropped about 100 points from around 220 down to 120 with an LDL under 60. But then, a few months later, she must have started missing her chicken, fish, and low-fat dairy and went back to her prior eating habits within a few weeks. With no change in her meds or anything, her chest pain was back, and she went on to have her chest sought in half. After all, then she continued to eat the same diet that contributed to the cause of her disease in the first place and went on to have further disease progression. All right, this one, though, has a happier ending. Started out the same 60-year-old men's severe chest pain after as little as a half block, decided to take control of his health destiny and switched to a whole food plant-based diet, from his quote-unquote healthy diet of skinless chicken, fish, low-fat dairy that had been choking off his heart and within a few weeks, the same amazing transformation from not being able to exercise at all to walking a mile to then being able to jog more than four miles completely asymptomatic off all drugs, no surgery, off to live happily ever after. Now, of course, case reports are just really glorified anecdotes. I mean, what we need is a randomized controlled trial to prove heart disease can be reversed with lifestyle changes alone, and guess what? There was one published literally 30 years ago proving angiographic reversal of heart disease in 82% of the patients opening up heartage without drugs, without surgery. So these case reports are just to remind us that hundreds of thousands of Americans continue to needlessly die every year from what was proven to be a reversible condition decades ago. The conventional use of case reports, though, is to present some novel results in hopes of inspiring trials to put it to the test. For example, a case report on a plant-based diet for congestive heart failure. So not just coronary artery disease, but the heart muscle itself was so weakened it couldn't efficiently pump blood, only able to eject about 35% of the blood in the main heart chamber with every beat, whereas normally the heart can pump out at least half, which is exactly what his heart was able to do just six weeks after switching to a whole food plant-based diet instead of choosing to get his chest cracked open. The first report of an improvement in heart failure following adoption of a plant-based diet, but not the last 54-year-old woman obese type 2 diabetic presenting with swelling ankles due to her heart failure. She switched from her chicken infusion to whole plant foods. She started out eating healthier and lost 50 pounds reversed her diabetes, meaning normal blood sugars on a normal diet without the use of diabetes medications and her heart function normalized from an abysmal ejection fraction of just 25% up to normal. Now, since it's not a randomized controlled trial, all we can say is that her improvements coincided with her adoption of a whole food plant-based diet, but given the burden of heart failure as a leading cause of death, how it just usually gets progressively worse and the overall evidence to date, a plant-based diet should be considered as part of heart failure care. And look, we already know it can reverse her coronary artery disease, and so any heart failure benefits would just be a bonus. Now, we just need good strategies for healthcare practitioners to support patients in plant-based eating. Here are some excellent suggestions to pause and reflect on. For example, doctors can use the Plantrition Project's prescription pads and prescribe a good website or two. While it is certainly true that many people would be resistant to fundamental dietary changes, look, it's equally true that, look, millions of intelligent people motivated to preserve their health are now taking halfway measures that may provide only modest benefit, choosing leaner cuts of meat, using reduced fat dairy products. Most of these people have neither the time nor the training to actually see what the science shows themselves. Don't they deserve honest, forthright advice when their lives are at stake? I mean, those who wish to ignore that advice or are implemented only partially, certainly at liberty to do so, right?  It's your body, your choice, right? It's up to each of us to make our own decisions as to, you know, what to eat and how to live, but we should make these choices consciously, right? Educating ourselves about the predictable consequences of our actions.
